`23.Dec.1999` Alexander Lohrmann in ANF	clickBOOM offers Quake sources for download clickBOOM has also released the Quake1 sources by ID Software. clickBOOM offers help for programmers wanting to do a PPC implementation. The best PPC versions will be offered for download at clickBOOM, with a note that owning the original game is required for the PPC version. Can someone clarify this: When ID Software officially releases the source code, and a programmer develops a PPC version from it, why is one required to own the original CD from clickBOOM? Or is there a difference between the sources from ID Software and clickBOOM? It would be nice if you would share your knowledge with us in the forum. (ps) [News message: 23.

`22.Dec.1999` AC-Forum [Ulf]	This is where IWin is stealing... We thought from the very beginning that IWin is a fake/hoax. Now, we read in the Amiga Club Forum a posting from Ulf, with a URL (title link) which confirms this anew. You find the plagiarism on the IWin coorporation website (see DatapakTM). Dear IWin crew, don't you think it's about time to come out ;-). The title "biggest hoax/fake of Amiga history" has been yours for quite some time already :-). (ps) [News message: 22.

Then, a new game for girls is announced: "Sarah goes shopping" - which turns out to be a joke from Sofia (author of the newsletter. In my opinion it wouldn't be bad to target people who don't like the shoot-em-up genre that much. (ps) Then, the newsletter announced what can be expected from the next ten days: Further details about the new game "Nightlong". A new project named TNT will be announced. A statement about PPC and future Amiga developments. A "crazy" offer: all clickBOOM games - if you do something for it (what will be told next time). (ps) [News message: 22.

`21.Dec.1999` Alexander Kurtz by e-mail	Aminet GUI update Alexander Kurtz writes: I applied some changes to the layout of the interactive area. You can now easily switch between areas. For technical reasons I cannot offer the chat room anymore! I am looking for a new system hopefully usable for Amiga browsers. If you sill want to chat, I can warmly recommend #miggy.de. It is available on de.arcnet.vapor.com. Try it. Moreover I want to announce that work on the reworked layout of the seperate directory pages is almost finished. I think I can put the expanded layout online starting next year. Since I am not at home from December 24th to somewhat around January 3rd, there won't be updates during this time. And since this update is the last one for this year, I want to wish all users a merry christmas, and a happy new year 2000. Thank you to all visiting my page regulary, and I hope you come back in 2000 to my Aminet GUI! (ps) [News message: 21.
