Version 1.27 of the freeware game Saga from Amigan Software has appeared. The game is a conversion of a TSR board game from 1981 called Saga: Age of Heroes and is playable by up to six players, which may be controlled by humans or the Amiga.

AmiZilla progress report
After DiscreetFX had announced that there is a money booty for porting the
web browser Mozilla to the Amiga (as reported) and Bill
Panagouleas set up an information site about the donation efforts, he sent us the following progress report:
- Current Booty: $4122.45
- New! SourceForge website setup to share/update codebase for
AmiZilla port.
- New! Offical URL for AmiZilla
- Mailinglist now has over 162 members and over 240 messages, most are about programming and porting Mozilla.
- AmiZilla website has gotten over 1 million hits since appearing on the famous unix geek website slashdot.
- AmiZilla continues to gather positive press for the Amiga and MorphOS by being covered on mainstream
websites like CNET's news.com,
mozillazine.org and
many others.
- Amiga Inc. representative Fleecy Moss has commented they like AmiZilla but will not contribute
to the Initiative because a port is also underway for MorphOS.
- New! AmiZilla poster "I Want You" by Eric Schwartz available in two sizes for webmasters that
want to promote AmiZilla on their site.
- New! AmiZilla Banner designed by Luca Ferraris.
- New! Female Russian artist hired to create mascot for MorphOS version of Mozilla port.
- New! Genesi and Phoenix Developer Consortium have been watching the project with great interest for
some time. and may contribute funds.
Keep in mind that the AmiZilla Project needs you to be successful. The booty is now over $4122,
which is a impressive amount of money for an Amiga project. If only one programmer was working on
the port this would be a nice reward. However several programmers are working together. Once the
money is split among coders the booty is not big enough. Please contribute if you can, every dollar
helps motivate programmers to make the AmiZilla Project a success. After the release of AmiZilla more
projects are being developed like Hot CoCo (JVM) and F Gordon (Flash). The development and launch of
these add-ons to AmiZilla depend on the success of that project. Paypal donations can be sent in via
this weblink.
About AmiZilla
The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the
first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga/Compatible systems that programmers will be
falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.

Report: Pegasos in Leipzig
Several interested persons have seen the presentation of the Pegasos in Leipzig at the booth of the "CCLS e.V." last weekend.
Erhard Bruse gives a brief overview about the presentation:
Even by chance met informatics students from India were interested in MorphOS and the Pegasos. The Sunday was owed to the Pegasos and Linux.
Micha Heider successfully did first tests with his image installer and a backup/recovery by using a hard disk image as well as an
installation of Mandrake Linux to the Pegasos. The recovery took with a 4 GB partition about 10 minutes.
During the next days there will be further information and some pictures and screen shots of Mandrake running on the Pegasos
put to the website of Micha Heider which is to reach by the title link.
