Overview: Bulletin board system of demo scene
Demozoo is a website dedicated to collecting and organizing the history of the demoscene. As the maintainers now announced, it was already started some time ago to catalog Bulletin board systems (BBS) with scene reference. The result is a list of over 7500 mailboxes, complete with sysops, affiliated groups, BBS intros, text ads, etc. The list continues to be updated.
These BBS can be browsed through an alphabetical list or searched by tags. In addition, you can display the locations on a world map.

RESHOOT PROXIMA 3: Preview of Stage 1
In August last year we reported about a new preview video of the third part of the shoot'em up series RESHOOT PROXIMA 3, which is currently in development. Shortly before Christmas 'AmigaBill' invited the three developers of the game Richard Löwenstein, Martin Ahman and Kevin Saunders to its Twitch channel to present the prototype of Stage 1. This demonstration is also available as a Video (game start from minute 33).
As Richard Löwenstein explained to us when asked, a prototype of the first stage was shown, "still far from complete. There are quite a few attack waves missing, the boss is conspicuous by its complete absence." Likewise, exciting attack patterns, boss designs and fine-tuning of the music would still have to be tackled. On the other hand, 90% of the graphics for all five stages have been drawn, and the visual designs for all stages have been defined and technically implemented.

Retro gaming: Ziggurat Interactive acquires the rights to Rainbow-Arts games
Five years ago, Julian Eggebrecht, founder of the legendary development studio Factor 5, explained in interviews (German) that the games company had not only secured the name of the former German publisher Rainbow Arts from the THQ bankruptcy estate, but also the rights to the titles published by the Gütersloh-based company in the 1980s and 1990s. A short time later, Factor 5, which also went bankrupt in 2009, was re-established in Germany as a GmbH.

Arcade ports: Demo version of 'Wonderboy', preview video of 'Final Fight'
Wonderboy is to be an Amiga conversion of Sega's arcade classic of the same name. The Amiga version is created with the help of the Scorpion Engine. A now available first demo version, which is called alpha by the developer, runs smoothly from an Amiga 1200. Eine für den A500 optimierte Variante soll in Kürze folgen.
There is already an Amiga implementation of Capcom's Acrade machine Final Fight from 1991, but it is not very popular with friends of the beat-em-up genre. A fan of the automaton is now working on a new implementation developed in machine language, which currently requires a 68020 processor. A video shows the current status, one level and two different opponents have been implemented so far.

Markus Tillmann writes (translation): "After the 2015, 2017 and 2019 events in Neuss, the fourth major German Amiga event will take place in 2022 with Amiga37 Germany. Compared to previous years, however, it will no longer be held in the Rheinisches Landestheater, but now in the Kunstwerk in Mönchengladbach.

Looking for demand: Zorro II/III graphics card with SAGA
At the title link, in the forum of a1k.org, Gunnar von Boehn (Apollo team) is looking for interest in a graphics card based on the FPGA chipset of the Vampire turbo cards for Amigas with Zorro II or Zorro III slots. In prospect are the known SAGA graphics modes including a full HD resolution at 60 hertz and the new SAGA 3D functions, video acceleration, 16-bit audio and inclusion of the Amiga video signal for HDMI output.
Since the drivers (P96/AHI) were already available and practically all other components were also at hand, the project could be completed relatively quickly if there was sufficient interest to buy one - allegedly even as early as this summer.

Among other new features and corrections, games published or updated in 2021 have been added, and games created with Project Horizon and Irrlicht Engine are now counted. In addition, the "Mozilla" and "Professional" licences have been added; the latter concerns games intended for professional use, e.g. medical. The total now reaches 13,539 entries, be it games, level editors, data disks, extensions and interpreters, which are distributed as follows:
- 12.910 games
- 347 extensions and data disks
- 148 game or level editors
- 134 interpreters

AROS: Update of 68k distribution Aros Vision
Since our previous news-item, Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k distribution Aros Vision four times. Besides a new version of the Hippo Player, a CD-ROM filesystem and further programs regarding CDs, CRC checksums, encoding and decoding, virus protection as well as a font editor and viewer have been added. Furthermore, iGame is working again now.
Meanwhile, also a HDF version of the distribution is available. Like users of the UAE version, also those using the HDF version can update the distribution out of itself by choosing System/Install/Update from the menu. The startup-sequence and user-startup files won't be changed.

Amiga Assembly For Beginners: Debugging using the Visual Code Extension
'Prince', founder of the group 'Phaze101', streams the assembler coding course "Corso completo di programmazione assembler in due dischi" in English on Twitch and uploads the respective episodes time-delayed to YouTube (amiga-news.de reports regularly).
As part of another tutorial Amiga Assembly For Beginners - Lets Make a Game, Prince now explains with concrete examples how to write a game with assembler. In the episode Debugging using the Visual Code Extension by Paul Raingeard he shows how to set up and apply the Amiga Assembly for Visual Studio Code extension.

Web emulator: vAmigaWeb
For quite some time we have been reporting about vAmiga, an Amiga emulator for MacOS that emulates the classic Amigas 500, 1000 and 2000. Based on this code, two web ports have been developed in the last months: vAmigaWeb and vAmiga (online). We had already mentioned both in our article Emulation: vAmiga as web port and tested the latter in more detail.
