Arcade classic: Amiga Space Invaders, beta 3
"Space Invaders" (video) written in Blitz Basic is supposed to be quite an authentic port of the arcade classic with the same name released in 1978. The new beta version fixes minor bugs. Additionally, the game now also runs on an A500 with full speed. A new background picture was added as well: By pressing the 'B' key you can change the background picture, the '1' and '2' keys change the colour of the overlay.

The 'A1100' is a new motherboard for an A1000 housing. A video shows the hardware. The boards has the following specifications:
- CPU: Motorola 68020 with 14 Mhz
- OCS-/ECS compatible, up to 2 MB Chip-Ram (Paula, Agnus, Denise not included)
- 64 Megabyte RAM
- IDE-Controller(44pin)
- Support of two different Kickstart-ROMs. Compatible to OS 3.1.4
- Flickerfixer and ScanDoubler. Internal ports for RGB, Cinch, SVGA
- Expansion ports for A1000 (86pin) and A1200 (150pin) cards
- Connector ATX PowerSupply
- Fast A1200 clockport connector
In a Spanish forum (automatic translation), Carlos 'Estrayk' Del Alamo is going to identify the need for a small-batch production of the hardware. If you are interested, then contact him. Del Alamo cannot tell what the price will be. But it is explicitely a non-commercial project.
