The author recommends a 68030 processor, Commander Keen works with 2 MB RAM.

Vampire 500: First pictures of FPGA-accelerator board for A500/A2000
Simo Koivukoski has published some first pictures of the Vampire accelerator board for A500/2000 at Google+. The board "will sit on place of your original CPU" or can be plugged into the CPU-slot of an Amiga 2000 using an adapter platine which is also delivered.
According to a short review from the CommVEX 2016 (Las Vegas), Jim Drew (ex Microcode Solutions, e.g. iFusion) is the "North American Rep" and presented a working Vampire 500 running, as he said, at 234 Mhz. He also said that "the Vampire 1200 would be released around Christmas".
Similar to the Vampire 600, the Vampire 500 provides a separate graphic chip, which under AmigaOS can be used as graphic board. The pricing has been set at 150 Euro. According to the official website, the board has the following features:
- 128MB FastRAM
- Digital video output
- Fast IDE-port
- SD-card for HDD storage
- 64 bit core, full 32 bit compatibility
- directly update core from Amiga without need for external programmer
- FPU and 16 bit audio is planned for future updates
Obviously the board can be only purchased from the Canadian "kipper2k". Concerning the Vampire 600, there were long waiting periods between the order and the delivery. Besides, the Canadian seemed to ignore inquiries via email up to this moment, when he could deliver the board to the customer. But obviously all ordered boards were delivered without any defects.

C64 remake: Raid Over Moscow (prototype)
A very early version of a remake of the C64 classic Raid over Moscow was released. Author 'earok' would finish developing the game if there is sufficient interest.
Still there are not any sound effects. Besides, not all scenes of the original game have been implemented. Currently a joystick or joypad with two buttons is required.

AmigaOS 4: Entwickler-X is working on a new video player "Emotion"
According to Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus in a comment on os4welt.de, Entwickler-X currently is working on a new, Reaction-based video player for AmigaOS 4. The project is called "Emotion" (video) and is supposed to be adapted to AmigaOS as much as possible, but also will concentrate on basic functions.
Emotion can scale via compositing or can use overlay on systems equipped with older graphic boards. For the codecs, parts of ffmpeg are used.
Entwickler-X started the project in April and it is not clear when he can finish it - currently ffmpeg is ported and converted into an Amiga library. Emotion will be commercially sold, the price will be about 20 Euro.
