Game: Tales of Tamar - New Amiga version 0.41 R1
Tales of Tamar is an internet turn-based strategy game for Amiga, Atari,
Java, Linux and PC by Eternity Entertainment Software. For registered
beta testers there's a new Amiga version 0.41 R1 available for download.
The latest version finally enables players to annex enemy towns, thus
exterminating enemy players. It also allows them to maintain several
towns in a country.
The only things missing until the release the Amiga base set are towns
for level two, three and four, cavalry, artillery, settlers and a few
other bits. The light at the end of the tunnel is near :-)

e.p.i.c. interactive: THE FEEBLE FILES Amiga-Version in production
THE FEEBLE FILES has now been completed for the Amiga and sent off to go
into production. The finished game should be sent out to all those who have
preordered the game within the next 10-12 days. THE FEEBLE FILES is a
cartoon adventure from the makers of the famous Simon The Sorcerer series.
You are Feeble or rather you're a down trodden Grenelon who just happens to
be called Feeble...
Rendered animation, stereo sound and a plot of epic proportions take this
adventure into a different galaxy. Witty and humerous but with dark
undertones. THE FEEBLE FILES contains acts of betrayal, intrigue, revolution
and even a bit of cross dressing. Add to that around 80 locations to visit,
six thousand voice lines to interact with, there should be plenty to keep
everyone happy without the aid of chemical supplements.
THE FEEBLE FILES for the Amiga comes on 2 CDs and contains both full english
and german speech versions. The Amiga version requires either an Amiga with
68060, 4 MByte Gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM or an Amiga with PPC, 4 MByte
Gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM.
You can find more information on THE FEEBLE FILES in the projects section
under the title link.

CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko v1.2
Finally the time has come! A new version of Akiko, CD32 and CDTV
emulator for Microsoft(r) Windows(r), can be downloaded from the
Airsoft Softwair homepage (http://www.airsoftsoftwair.com/)
Version 1.2 is a major update which is about 20% faster and
supports emulation of the CD32's nonvolatile memory including a
cool nv ram editor which supports importing, exporting, locking
& patching of save states.
Example of patching a save game is included
in the documentation. Additionally Akiko has now a real Joypad emulation
which means that the user can map every key / joystick button to
the CD32's joypad buttons. Akiko also supports the emulation of the
language identifier of the CD32 and CDTV now so some games appear
now automatically in the language you configured in the Akiko settings.
Finally there were some bug fixes and improvements in the single
patches as well as an extended documentation.
If you still haven't
registered Akiko (only $15US/15 EUR) you should have a look at
Defender Of The Crown 2 CDTV which can now also be played with the
Akiko demo version. But don't forget to set your native language
to the CDTV's language in the Akiko settings so that the game appears
in it. By the way, Akiko does not require the extended ROMs of the
CD32 & CDTV. Kickstart 3.1 and 1.3 are enough. Registered users
please send an email to akiko@airsoftsoftwair.de with "subscribe"
subject and you'll get the latest version (you'll only have to
subscribe once, then you'll always get the latest version of Akiko)
If you haven't registered yet, you should definitely get the demo
version of Akiko!

PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX sells Amiga Sources
Due to a lack of time, motivation and general interest,
PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX is looking for licensees that
are willing to obtain the source code for the well-known
ak Datatypes (other products on request) under exclusive
or non-exclusive license on as-is basis.
The license will not include the keyfile-code (removal)
and it won't include the right to sell a product under
the same name. So the licensee will be able to work out
new products based on the sources, without any further
relations or obligations. Basic help for getting started
with the sources and concepts will be provided.
We're awaiting your offers.
OpenSource projects may obtain FREE licences under
certain circumstances. Please contact us.
This offer is limited until 31.03.2001.
In the meantime, our website will be reworked.
The Amiga section was removed.

Matay: P96-Drivers only on request
Matay has removed the archive with the P96-drivers V2.1a for Prometheus from the server and will send the archive only on request via email. It will be available again later on when a registration process will be implemented. Owners of a Prometheus board can get it sending an email to info@matay.pl. Matay has decided to do so because also users without a Prometheus board are using these drivers.
You find this text at the archive:
"This archive has been deleted from the page because of numerous downloads
by people who don't have Prometheus boards but are still using our page to
recieve a full archive of shareware program. In short future there will be
a questionary veryfing and writing down all necessary data of the one who
is downloading. Till then, please inquire to info@matay.pl, we will send you

Running AmigaOS on a PC: Review of Amiga XL
OSNews is running a review of AmigaXL, a system that allows you to boot
AmigaOS on your PC in a way that resembles a regular-booting x86
operating system. Screenshots accompany the article show the latest
version of AmigaOS 3.9 running on a Compaq laptop. With AmigaOS 4.0
coming out in March with lots of new features (antialias fonts, better
memory protection etc) is AmigaXL the one true future of Amiga, a future
that AmigaDE, QNX and Gateway failed to materialize through their
involvement with AmigaOS?

Andreas R. Kleinert: References to pirate copies of my programms wanted
Today, I read the article about
shareware and pirate copies on amiga-news.de. Very interesting. Well, it is that
from time to time people send me illegal keyfiles and/or key generators for my
programs - sometimes refering to the source where to find those.
This often enables me to deactivate the respective keys, which respond to a certain
pattern. So there are faithful users too - who nevertheless stumble upon such things
from time to time - and help program authors to embank pirate copying.
I would like to offer the following to those users:
Who will send me keyfiles for my programs (or the respective generators),
up to now not recognized as "pirate keys" by those, will receive an
original keyfile at a time. In especially fiddly cases I will charge even more.
For multi-transmittal applies: "The first to send in, will win".
Naturally data will be kept in confidence and anonymous if desired (the real
name is only required for the keyfile).
P.S.: Dubious software gets tested under UAE,
insofar transfecting virsues is useless.

with their mails and comments! The Amiga Arena will stay online and the support
for the game "PuzzelBOBS" is also guaranteed. In irregular intervals will
smaller updates of the Amiga Arena be possible and still incoming interviews etc.
will of course be released. A "time out" for an undefined period of time will
come as announced, though.
Thank you very much for your understanding.

Virus Help Denmark: WatchDog 2.5
On 25 January 2002 Zbigniew Trzcionkowski released with version 2.5 the
latest snapshot of his memory surveillance tool 'Watchdog'. In this
version further tests have been added amongst other things.
Compared to version 2.1 the following details have changed:
- added ToolType 'IgnoreSnoopDos' - currently this is the only patcher
I have decided to include since in future I want to use heuristics
to analyse ANY patches...
- added 'WatchDog' position in WB/Tools menu. After watching this
requester memory test is performed too...
- added new memory installation and new timing routines...
a. read: memory deprotection of WatchDog together with xvs should
be more difficult for virus now...
b. time between memory checks is adjusted using AI features and
varies somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds (depending on system
and user activity)...
c. fixed little bit my unfreezing toy...
- added few more vital Exec vectors to memcheck...
- added checker for some important dos vectors (with $4ef9 opcode
generic restorer)
- added some debug tooltypes - no need to mention them here...
- added S:startup-sequence and S:user-startup notification so that
any change (or deletion) of these important files is reported to the
user. If You don't know what that notification is You'd better
believe me that it slows no machine and causes no accesses to the
watched files...
- added ToolType 'NoNotify' to switch off ability mentioned above :)

In December 2001, a new update of "PhotoAlbum/CyberShow"
was released almost on the same day as the last version from 1999.
Olaf Köbnik: "For me personally, this was a little sensation, because after
the server "AmigaWorld" was offline you didn't hear much about PhotoAlbum/CyberShow.
With "PhotoAlbum" there still exists one of the very few shareware programs today
which is not only equal but also superior to similar commercial programs. Personally,
I can only recommend "PhotoAlbum" and hope that Helmut Hoffmann will continue to
add new features!"

his future software projects.
Among them are a complete rewrite of the text display of Workbench drawers,
a search tool and a replacement for the Execute function. Of special interest
are the planned features for JanoEd which sound very promising. You'll find

CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko emulate MPEG Modul
The Windows cd32 emulator Akiko by Airsoft Softwair is
now able to emulate the mpeg module of the CD32. The speed is amazing as well as the
sound and video quality because all the cpu-intensive operations are done by the x86 cpu.
It was really hard work to implement this feature but the result is really overwhelming.
You can finally watch the mpeg intros which were just skipped for users without an
mpeg module (e.g. Cannon Fodder). And of course the cool Commodore commercial
with the mad scientist and his assistent. I quickly made some screenshots and uploaded
them to the Akiko product page.

Chat with bplan at #AmigaFun
#AmigaFun: Realtime chat with Salvador Fernandez Gomez of bplan
On Monday, 21st January 2002, you can chat with Salvador Fernandez Gomez of bplan at the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. He is known as one of the minds of bplan, well known with Pegasos. In the near future Pegasos will be released. You can ask him about bplan, Pegasos, and maybe some questions about MorphOS. The chat is organised with the help of Amiga Future.
You can reach the IRC channel #Amigafun this way:
IRC Server (without "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org
IRC Port: 6667
IRC Kanal: #amigafun
If the server malfunctions you can get access via this server: amigafun.ma.cx (without "irc.")
TIP:
You can reach the chat also via the #AmigaFun Homepage,
Amiga Future Homepage and from the
Amiga-News.de Forum as HTML chat.
But we cannot guarantee that this HTML chat will function perfectly and programs like AMIRC and BlackIRC are more comfortable so we recommend to use an IRC client.
The used languages are German and English and the logfiles will be available at the Amiga Future and #AmigaFun homepages.

Graphic Adventure-Developer Kit: Inga-Engine Version 0.9/5
Timo Kloss writes:
Once again there is a version which is really almost totally finished!
Of course the Audio-CD-Support is still missing.
Compared to the last version the most outstanding difference is the
following: the plug-in system has been removed!!! What's all this about?
All the features offered by the plug-ins of late have now been
firmly integrated (sound-/ language and MED-music) and can be
activated by using normal script commands. Accordingly, Inga has been
prepared to be ported to other platforms. However, a complete compatibility of
all versions would be endangered by a plug-in system. Consequently,
it has been removed! Further information can be found in the compendium
under "LadeSound", "SpieleModule" etc. Besides the following improvements
have been made:
- You can now also talk to the characters even when you can't run to them
all the way (because of the run card). However, it's still not possible
to give them anything (that is to say "WennBenutzt" works but
"WennBenutzt-Mit" doesn't work!).
- The destination of the run towards the characters is now better calculated. So
far it has only been possible to run either on the left-hand or right-hand side
(only provisional).
- Small mistakes have been removed: If animated characters appeared for
example only from the left-hand side and if they bent forward,
it was impossible to find a suitable representation.
- Inga-pictogram information now enables the features "NOSOUND" and "NOPLAYER"
as a substitute for "DISABLE" at the plug-ins. You can find further
information in the game instructions.
- The speed of the characters can now be changed. (Consult the compendium
under "Laufschnelligkeit" (speed)).

Telepolis: Buried in New Mexiko
According to an investigation of the Telepolis editor Konrad Lischka
had the company Atari bought the computer producer Amiga. In the third last
paragraph it is written that: "After Tramiel had bought Atari the company
concentrated on the home computer market. To enter into the market for
respectable business clients Atari took over the Computer producer Amiga.
This is not correct.
1984: Amiga, then represented by the chief developer Jay Miner (formerly
chief developer of Atari) had in his financial need already got a private credit
from Jack Tramiel (who was the founder of Commodore Business Machines, but then
parted from the company because of differences, and afterwards bought the
clapped-out game console producer Atari). A takeover of Amiga through Atari had
already been negotiated. This takeover was avoided in the last moment through a better
offer by Commodore (remember: Tramiel had already left Commodore)
what led also to a repayment of Jack Tramiels private investment. The takeover
had cost 27 millions dollars. To be looked up in the
History of the
AMIGA.
