Amiga Future: review of Superballz
On the Amiga Future homepage has today a review of Superballz
(see title link) been released. Superballz is a game in the kind of Marble Madness where a little ball has to be guided through scrolling levels where switches have to be activated.
Having all switches activated somewhere in this level opens the exit to the next level.

AROS: New snapshot available (2002-07-03)
Adam Chodorowski has made a new binary and source snapshot release of AROS.
You can download it from SourceForge, at the AROS download page (see
title link). He hasn't done much testing, but i386-pc does boot
on his machine at least. There's a huge number of changes since the last
snapshot which he won't go into (since he don't really remember them all).
One new thing to play with though is Zune (our MUI clone) which is
included in this release (in contrib).

- New command "load picture."
- Use of the same mask data for several pictures is possible (look in the index under "Load Picture").
- No explanation text at the pointer during an automatic course.
Script Shell 1.12
- Catalog-data updates.
- Interruption of compilation after errors is possible.
InutilisGraphics 1.07
- Bug in the ILBM loading routine overcome (when Chunks have uneven lengths).
- Data name now disappears, when "close" button is pushed.
- Logical suggestions of data names also for mask data (see 1.05)
- Catalog data updated.
Area Editor 1.13
Character Editor 1.01
