"Journey to Northland" for MorphOS and Mac OS announced
Funatics Software GmbH and e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment gmbh announced today that Cultures 2 sequel "Northland" will be ported to the Apple Mac and MorphOS.

"We are very happy to be able to bring one of the most popular Godgame series to gamers on the Apple Mac and MorphOS" said Thomas Steiding, CEO of e.p.i.c. about the deal.

Thomas Friedman, CEO of Funatics added: "e.p.i.c. is the ideal partner for us to bring "Northland" to an even larger audience. Unfortunately users of systems like Macintosh or the new MorphOS are poorly supported when it comes to innovative new games. We intend to fill this gap with the release of "Northland" for these platforms.

The story of "Northland" begins where the plot of "Cultures 2 - The Gates of Asgard" ended. After perilous adventures our four heroes defeated the Midgard serpent and thus saved the world. But one day they were disturbed by a call for help from their friend Hatschi. Hatschi's homeland was plagued by mysterious monstrous serpent creatures, which spread chaos and destruction through the country. Without hesitation Byjami and Crya hurried to help him and stumbled right into a new adventure, in which the sly god Loki will play an important role...

Features Northland:

Stand-alone Adventure Strategy game.

  • Single player campaign with 8 missions including several sub missions.
  • The exciting plots tells the story of Viking God Loki who tried to take revenge on Godfather Odin for his banishment from Asgard to Earth. For that he abuses our four human heroes with his intrigues and traps.
  • 8 additional free single player missions (non campaign).
  • 3 difficulty levels to make the game fun for everybody from beginners to experts.
  • Special effects like weather effects, fog, ghost units etc.
  • Based on the enhanced technology of "Cultures 2 - The Gates of Asgard"; enhanced AI.
More information on "Northland" can be found at Northland or e.p.i.c interactive. (nba) (Translation: ub)

Music: eXternal Format Rippers 2.1 available
Who does not kow XFD and XAD by Dirk Stöcker and the Exoticripper or Eagleplayer. XFR is a similar system which combines the best of all them to extract music tracks and pictures out of demo files. XFR offers a library and several clients for each sound format. A genie for the delitracker and the Eagleplayer and some Shell/WB tools for scanning whole directories or floppy disks in the twinkling of an eye is included also.

The XFR system is like the other X systems easily expandable with additional clients and comes along with a bunch of example code and a developer guide. I still need some support for the C header files but the assembler includes are finished already. Useful development information is obtainable at the home page (looking at these strongly recommended). (ps) (Translation: ub)

Event: Commodore show and SID music workshop
Ron van Schaik writes:
Hello C= fans,
At Saturday 19th April there will be a C= show at the Trefpunt, Kerkweg 21, Maarssen, Holland from 10:00 to 16:00 o'clock. On this show we will organize a SID music workshop in Hall 2. There will be a beamer with wide screen and demonstrations from Marinus Kuivenhoven how to make a nice SID music MP3.

From Germany firestARTer will be present with his SIDsyn. It's not sure, if he can show a 'running' SIDsyn but otherwise he will talk about some theoreticals and about the SID. Further he will show a lot about the music-scene and about the game/SID sounds for new releases (POP/electro). Also there will be a stereo C64 (with a double build-in SID) from the German guy Dirk Kledtke.

In the other hall will we organize our regular show and the hall will be totally filled with all kinds of Commodore computers. For example there will be a Commodore 3000H (from our Irish visitor Jesper). This is a kind of Pong game for on television and was built in 1975. Further we will have a Hyper VIC20 who was built by Ruud Baltissen. The Hyper VIC20 is a Commodore VIC-20 with some extra features. The two main ones are the 16-bits 6502 compatible 65816 processor and it can be equipped with 8-bits PC ISA-cards. These cards only work well with a processor that can address up to 1 MB and unfortunately the 6502 only supports 64 KB. Look for more information at our homepage under the title link.

Lots of greetings,
Ron

AmigaOS-Game: BoulderDäsh RTX - Rockford is back
Guido Mersmann wrote:
As already announced some days ago, I can intimate the publication of BoulderDaesh RTX. BoulderDaesh RTX is a 1:1 conversion of the good old C64 and was here and there drilled out, without reducing the game play. BoulderDaesh RTX runs on Amiga-OS-COMPATIBLE systems starting with the A500 up to fast Amithlon systems.

The Picasso96, Cybergraphics and AHI support permits 100% hardware independence. Beside the well-known additional archives there is now also an archive called "boulderdaeshfull.lha" available, which contains all currently in the Aminet available data. Included are many small archives available in the Aminet wich have been made available by their respective authors.

The most important game play innovations in comparisson to the original C64 version are an integrated game and level editor. A music player with playlist support as well as the possibility to easily integrate own music, samples, graphics and fonts into the game. When using your own levels they can even change from level to level. New play elements and the enormous level offer round off the extension.

The new BoulderDaesh RTX V5.11 archives are already on their way to the Aminet and will be available in the next few days. BoulderDaesh RTX - He will rock you! Finally a list of all features:
  • 1:1 BoulderDäsh clone
