Arcade game: Gemdalus released
The aim of Gemdalus (story of origin) is to collect all the gems scattered around a labyrinth. In doing so, however, you are dragging a kind of rubber band behind you that cannot be crossed. However, it is possible to snap the rubber band back to take a different path.
The AMOS game, which can be purchased for five US dollars, requires the AGA chipset and 1.6 MB of chip RAM as well as 320 KB of additional RAM. (snx)

Anniversary: Amigaland.de turns 25
On amigaland.de, Mirko Engelhardt makes formerly commercial software available for download with permission. He can now look back on a quarter of a century and writes (translation):
"The time has come. Amigaland.de is 25 years old, what an achievement and not expected at the time. Honestly, who would have thought 25 years ago that the Amiga community would still be so lively? I certainly didn't, but everything turned out differently and is now as it is.
Our site is celebrating its anniversary this year. Our site saw the light of day 25 years ago and has continued to develop steadily. Before that, we were active in the mailbox scene. We were also successful with the Nevermind BBS (1994 - 2001). Then I pulled the plug and sold all my Amiga hardware. (A serious mistake!) Through Amigaland, however, I tried to maintain my affinity to the Amiga. Today we are quite well established, we can offer many downloads, have many stories to tell and offer help in various areas. Our site has been redesigned four times so far, but I liked our second version the best. :)
Today we celebrate the day, we currently offer the most downloads for the Amiga on our site that we have ever had. Plus apps, demos, tutorials and our extensive history section. We are currently supporting the Amiga40 as a sponsor and are giving away two tickets to this event until May 31, 2025. Have fun at Amigaland!" (snx)

Preview video: Shoot'em Up "Echo Fighter" (6)
With the sixth preview video of its shoot'em up "Echo Fighter" (amiga-news.de reported), 'pixelplop' shows the progress made recently: the player is now greeted with a scaling "Wave" and "Get Ready" text at the start of the level. The inertia of the ship's movement has been added and the power-ups are now mostly functional, although more are planned.
As the developer writes, he is still in the process of writing the game code, which means that he is not yet really focussing on the gameplay or the enemy waves. There are still many things planned to be added into the game. (dr)

PPC hardware: MorphOS successfully boots on the "Mirari" motherboard
Three weeks ago, the PPC-based motherboard "Mirari", developed by Harald 'Geennaam' Kanning, was presented to the public for the first time. According to our information, the MorphOS team contacted the Mirari team for the first time right after this announcement and received one of the few prototypes produced to date.
As announced today on the project's website - along with photos showing the Ambient desktop booting on Mirari - MorphOS is already running on the Mirari hardware. There is no information yet on the exact status of the port, but the
board designers thank MorphOS team member Frank Mariak for his "relentless hard work and unwavering dedication" that made this result possible. (cg) (Translation: cg)
