Hollywood plugin: Polybios 1.0a
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with Polybios 1.0a - the ultimate PDF tool for Hollywood. Thanks to the efforts of Stefan "Bebbo" Franke, who ported gcc 6.4 for the m68k platform, Polybios' PDF renderer is now also available for the m68k and m68k/m881 platforms. This finally provides OS3 users with a state-of-the-art PDF renderer as well! For optimal speed it is recommended to use the FPU version because Polybios' PDF renderer is quite heavy on floating point arithmetics.
Additionally, version 1.0a contains a bug fix in the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS versions of Polybios. No changes were made to the builds for all the other platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android) which is why the version number wasn't bumped to 1.1 but just uses 1.0a for the moment. Polybios is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Ask Me Up XXL 3.4
Jérôme 'Glames' Senay's Ask Me Up is a one to five player quiz game for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and Windows featuring 17000 questions in 17 categories. A demo version containing 80 questions is available for free.

Hollywood: APK Compiler 2.4 released
Press release: The Hollywood APK Compiler is now available in version 2.4. This version removes support for the armeabi architecture because it is no longer supported by the latest Android SDK. Note that you should not upgrade to this version unless you want to use the latest Android SDK. If you have a working installation of Hollywood APK Compiler, just keep it because this update is only here to make the Hollywood APK Compiler compatible with the latest Android SDK version.

Replacement power supply for Amiga 500, 600 and 1200
On eBay (Germany, Great Britain) the Polish shop Electroware offers replacement power supplies for the Amiga 500, 500+, 600 and 1200. Compared to the original ones provided by Commodore they have 50 watt and thus twice as much capacity and only half the size.

Commercial game: 'Worthy' is available
Andreas Rösner wrote: Pixelglass Games has released a brand new game to the Amiga community called Worthy. Similar as in real life, you have to collect diamonds to conquer the heart of your lady. You can achieve that by travelling from level to level, killing enemies, avoiding traps and collecting diamonds.
The main drive for the game character is beer which is drunken a lot to hopefully complete the adventures.
The game was optimized for 50 Hz and offers 40 levels, many puzzles, pixel graphics with 32 colours as well as catchy melodies and sound effects. Furthermore Worthy has different scenarios of the end of the game depending on how successful the player has been.
Worthy can be purchased on AMIGA.net.pl on disks, CD or as download version for all Amigas. The game can be installed on harddrive but can also be started from disk or CD. A "boxed version" with additional features is available as well.
At least the game requires an Amiga 500 with 1 MB, the CD and HD versions 0,5 MB Fast Ram more. The different versions cost between 9 and 29 Euro (including shipping). On YouTube you can watch the release trailer.
