Amiga Society: Little Book - a.o. Dragons Lair, Flight Simulator II
From the Amiga Society web site:
The mail has arrived. Connected with that a whole bunch of "new" old games,
which will bei entered into the Little Book immediately. Present are a.o. RVF
Honda, Super Hang on, Dragons Lair and, not to be forgotten, the famous Flight
Simulator II.
With that the weekend is saved. The first part of Ians update has also arrived
and will presumably be uploaded tomorrow. Well, how shall we continue - the way
it looks like, you're mostly interested in new hard and software.
Thus we are set a bit out of place. As a rule I prefer the classics....
This is originates from the fact that we are working nearly exclusively as a
pair on this thing, and obtaining old, partially dead computers
*screwsolderrun* is much less expensive than purchasing new stuff.
Though I will - if it becomes available - have an AmigaOne standing here,
an adequate broadness isn't feasible on a shoestring budget."
All in all, the following information has been added to the "Little Book of
Amiga Software":
13th July 2002
- Extended: Amiga games list
- Extended: Body Blows
- New Entry: Super Hang On
- New Entry: RVF Honda
- New Entry: Shadow of the Beast
- New Entry: TV Sports Football
- New Entry: Dragons Lair
- New Entry: Goldrunner II
- New Entry: Atomino
- New Entry: LOOPZ
- New Entry: Flight Simulator II
- New Entry: Super Tennis Champs

Sowjet speech encryption machine for telephone and radio
Right before the summer break a software premiere: the simulation of the Sowjet speech encryption machine "Elbrus". This is a military encryption device for telephone and radio that had been used at the USSR army and the NVA of the GDR. The signal is analogue encoded using a digital code i.e. you get an encrypted audio signal that can be broadcasted directly (without modem) analogue via telephone or radio. With the program you can en-/decode own audio files (or an audio stream of the AHI device). The program should be unique in the Web and is for now exclusively available for the Amiga (68k and PPC). A detailed description and a sound example can be found following the title link.

VIVA-Text: Amigas classical games on Gameboy Advance
About ten years ago the successful story of "Pinball Fantasies" started on the Amiga. Now the flipper simulation is supposed to capture the Gameboy Advance. There are eight different tables to chose which have been originally taken from the games "Pinball Fantasies" and "Pinball Dreams". Diverse ramps, traps and hills are supposed to make a new highscore more difficult.
