DVD: Amiga Future Archive 3
The Amiga Future Archive 3 DVD was released. In fact, it has already been published at the Gamescom, but we had simply no time to announce the release. The Amiga Future Archive 3 includes the following Amiga Future releases as PDF:
- German: Amiga Future Issue 11-115
- English: Amiga Future issue 67-115
Issue 11 to 26 have been scanned. All other issues are PDFs in print quality. The issue 11 was the first German Amiga Future that was published. The issue 67 was the first English edition of the Amiga Future.
There is no upgrade path from earlier version of the Amiga Future Archive DVD. And since we were often asked this at the Gamescom: The next DVD will be released somewhere in 2018 :)

Bugfix: Projekt Lila "Remastered" for CD32 users
The Jump'n Run Projekt Lila that has been released a few weeks ago is supposed to be CD32 compatible - but on some consoles the boot process doesn't work. A new 'Remastered' edition fixes this problem and also features some changes to the world selection screen. The Remastered edition will be shipped for free to all existing Projekt Lila customers. The digital edition available from the IndieGo store is identical with the Remastered edition.

Screenshot of original BoingBall-Demo
There are different versions of the famous "Boingball-Demo". Again and again collectors are trying to find the oldest and "only real" one. Since the events dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Amiga it is known that the first version of the demo contained a text in the background which an old screenshot proves:
Amiga user Pentad found the screenshot in the September issue of the Amercian magazine "Compute!" from 1985. According to Mical's report after the acquisition by Commodore, the Amiga developers were told to remove the logo "Amiga Computer, Inc" - and in protest against it they did not wrote a different one.
