Arcade shoot'em-up: 'Gradius' port 'Tinyus' announced
After Tiny Invaders, Tiny Galaga and Tiny Bobble the demo group is working on its fourth arcade port within one year: 'Tinyus' is supposed to become an true port of the arcade shoot'em up Gradius released in 1985:

Tinyus will run on an A500 equipped with 1 MB RAM but an A1200 is recommended for getting 50 frames per second. The game has been completed and could be released but according to the developers first beta testing has to be completed. Besides, 3 kb must be saved.

A short preview of the soundtrack the developers has published as MP3 file. (cg) (Translation: dr)

A1000 expansion: 'Parceiro' provides Fast-RAM, SD card slot and RTC
'Parceiro' (Portuguese: "Partner") is an expansion for the A1000 which comes in a thin plastic case - fitting to the computer - plugged in the lateral expansion port of the Amigas. It provides 8 MB Fast-RAM, a micro SD slot accessible from the outside with a 2 GB FAT32-formatted SD card as well as a real-time clock.

You cannot boot from this SD card but the producer provides a detailed tutorial explaining how to create "KickWork" disk. Additional to the Kickstart image it contains a Workbench as well as all required drivers and utilities for mounting the sd card and reading the real-time clock.

According to a review on Youtube, the card seems only be produced in very small numbers. If you are interested you can pre-order a 'Parceiro' at the US American developer Dabid Dunklee via email. The price for a card is 195 USD plus shipping. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Morgue Soft stops developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow"
After more than 27 years, Juan Carlos 'Templario' Herran Martin has stopped his developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow" which is a point'n'click horror adventure written in Hollywood:

Lamp


According to 'Templario' this game is "a little summary of the best games and programs made for me with my programming and graphic design skills". It is available for MorhpOS 2.7-3.x, AmigaOS4.x, AROS, Windows and Linux.

During the past years he has released software like the picture viewer Videntium Picta, the picture editing programm Pintor Web or the PDF viewer GrimoriumPDF. Furthermore he wrote diverse slot machine games and adult games.

His first projects 'Templario' wrote in AmiBlitz/BlitzBasic for his brother. Since 2010 he has used Hollywood as his main developing software. In response to our question about the reasons for his decision he answered that it "is very complicated making games for Amiga systems when there are not skilled graphic designers in this hobby, and the motivation and the input of fresh ideas is low."

Now he is enjoying his hobby as another spectator of the scene. We wish him much fun in the new period of life and all the best for the future! (dr) (Translation: dr)
