2Decide: A 2D strategy game using themes
In case you are missing all the great recent uploads to Aminet;
Joar Berntsen would like to inform you of the freeware
game "2Decide" that has the ability to dress itself up with
various theme packages.
All units, all structures, and most gfx can be changed. In
addition, new campaigns can easily be created, with the
inline map editor, on any of the current 5 themes that
are available.
It is a game somewhat similar to Empire-'Wargame of the
century' but uses 256 colors and AGA effects, and all
ingame units are affected by cheerfull morale features.
Have a look at the readme file from the Aminet for slightly more info.
Don't be afraid to fool around with the theme features of
this game. It won't crash or anything from doing that.
I am not some distant being on another planet,
so please mail me if there is anything!

PowerPC 970 shipped already?
The rumors page LoopRumors claims to know that IBM shipped
20,000 1.4 GHz and 40,000 1.6 GHz processors of the type PowerPC970 to Apple already.
It is said that they were delivered directly to Foxconn in Taiwan, the manufacturer of the
Apple mainboards. The 1.8 GHz prozessors were on their way also.
Even these rumors can't be confirmed, the introduction of the first PowerPC Macs is expected for summer.

Pegasos: Independent Review by OSNews.com
Eugenia Loli Queru of OSNews.com made an independent Pegasos-Review. As a not Amiga user her judgement precipitates naturally very
critically over the MorphOS which is still in an early development stage. However when talking about the possibility to
use the hardware with various Linux distributions and MacOS her judgement is more positively. Among other things
she guesses to Genesi, to mark out the Pegasos as the Linux platform, because nevertheless x86 boards belong in last consequence to
Microsoft.
In its associated comment Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck of Genesi suggest that one can
regard the "M" standing in MorphOS calmly also as for "mobility", this
is the next step.
