`01.Aug.2020` Indie Retro News (Webseite)	Jump'n Run: Smarty And The Nasty Gluttons 'Smarty And The nasty Gluttons' (Video) is a Jump'n Run that was intended for a commercial release in the early nineties but never finished due to the collapsing market. With help from members of the active Amiga scene, the original coder has now revamped his old code and added the missing functionality. Graphics and sounds had already been completed decades ago, which is why the full version of the game is now available for download. 'Smarty' requires an Amiga with at least one megabyte RAM and Kickstart 1.2 or newer. According to the developer, 'modest' efforts were put into making it compatable with newer Amiga setups. The source code for the game is going to be released this fall, a commercial release is planned aswell. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 01.
