The magazine also includes reviews of new games (Geo's Quest 3 and Glubble) and tools (Final Writer 7.0), an interview with journalist Matt Bielby (Amiga Power), the story of Immortal Joysticks, a catch up with the Amiga-inspired rock band Fastloaders and lots more. Three downloadable coverdisks feature full versions of Tanks Furry and Bridge Strike.

AmigaOS 4: File manager "Dir Me Up" V4.00
Press release: Five years after its last update (amiga-news.de reported), the modern explorer for AmigaOS 4, Dir Me Up, is back in version 4... with more than 130 new features, optimizations and fixes! More than ever, it will be your faithful companion to explore, copy and transform your data...

Dir Me Up now has a new graphic theme, Retro, which smells of the original Workbench. The standard theme has been completely redesigned and redesigned accordingly. And of course, AISS aficionados will still be able to use it. The software is now also available in Portuguese, making it accessible in nine languages!

Dir Me Up 4

Dir Me Up now has a cache to store thumbnails in order to greatly speed up the display of photos, even in very high resolution (such as 4000x3000 for example). You can of course choose the reserved disk space, purge it or disable it if necessary. Other optimizations have been made to the icon view to make it even more pleasant to use. The internal viewer has also been extended with zoom or full-screen display options. As you can see, the visuals have greatly improved!

Dir Me Up 4, Viewer

Copying has also been optimized, especially for small files: the gains observed range from 20 to 50%. The replacement confirmation window in the event of a conflict now allows you to replace a file only if it is more recent. Favorites management has been improved with the ability to give a personalized name to each location. The preferences window has been extended and redesigned.

The list of new features is far too long to mention them all here, but you can read an (almost) exhaustive list under the title link.

Dir Me Up is, of course, compatible with the brand-new A1222+ from A-EON Technology!

As usual, this update, free for all registered users, has been put online. To install it, just run Dir Me Up.

You can download a demo allowing (only) browsing or purchase the full version for 19,99 Euro. Dir Me Up, enhance your Amiga! (dr)

PDF magazine: REV'n'GE 160 (Italian/English)
Besides the Italian original issue, the PDF magazine REV'n'GE ("Retro Emulator Vision and Game") is also available in English. The magazine's reviews compare, if available, the different ports of classic games to the various platforms of their time. Furthermore a focus is on rather unknown retro games.

Amiga-related, the current issue is about The Pursuit to Earth. (snx)

Game: Droid
Droid is a run-and-gun platformer that appeared in 1992 as a cover disk of the Atari magazine "ST Format" and has now been ported to the Amiga (video). The version of the game released today, which is only available in PAL resolution, trades as version "Beta 2", but is considered by the programmer to be finished.

While the article on Indie Retro News still makes the previous version available for now, the current one can be accessed via the forum discussion which is linked there as well. (snx)
