Collectors pieces: Amiga clones "Access" available
The Italian dealer Soft3 seems to have some units of the Amiga clone "Access" on stock (title link).

The exact number of pieces is unknown. Probably Massimiliano "m3x" Tretene the owner of Soft3 will tell more details within a thread at Amiga.org which covered this item firstly. (nba) (Translation: ub)

"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)

Sound card: Delfina introduced successfully
The new soundcard Delfina by Individual Computers was introduced successfully last weekend at the AmiGBG show in Gothenburg, Sweden. Meanwhile, all important European dealers have been supplied, so the anticipated delivery date of April 7th can be kept without problems.

The module that is available now is ready to be used on nearly any Amiga. The included 22-pin cable for the A1200 clockport can also be used to connect to an X-Surf Ethernet card in a "bigbox" Amiga.

Probably the most important reason to buy this card is the DSP, the digital signal processor. For example it allows playing back MP3 nearly without CPU load. MP3 is a popular audio format that is also used by artists to put demos on the Internet. Free music samples and full titles are available on sites like Entertainment-Mafia. With the Delfina, an Amiga can playback MP3 even without an accelerator in the best possible quality. (ps)

AmiPR ImageLayer - Thumbnail-Image-Preview in a Workbench Window
AmiPR ImageLayer adds the feature of previewing images in the standard Workbench directory lister to the Amiga (just as WinXP). The program creates thumbnails of the picture for every image. Your old Workbench icons will not be deleted. For files which are not images, the normal icon will be displayed.

AmiPR ImageLayer needs OS 3.5/3.9 as the Preferences tool is based on Reaction.

Please visit http://www.masonicons.de/AmiPRIndex.html for download, detailed information and some preview images.

Dear Martin, you did it too good ;-)

Update 03.04.2003:
This was an April-fool. Have a look at the capitals in the program name and you will read APRIL :) (ps)
