07.Jul.2024 Frank Röger (ANF) The Grid: A new Tron-clone for up to 10 players Today, LogicalByte launched the game The Grid. This is a Tron clone with support for up to ten players simultaneously. The requirement for this number of players is an OctaPlayer adapter from Alinea Computer, which is currently still under development and is due to be released later this year. Until then, the game can currently be played against just one human opponent. The gameplay of The Grid is based on the original game and therefore also on the classic film: players control so-called light cycles and fight for survival in intense arena duels while trying to lure their opponents into light traps. The system requirements are a PAL Amiga with at least 1 MB Chip RAM and at least 2 joysticks. According to the website, The Grid is undergoing further development. Open features to be implemented in the course of the year include player names, various grids, power-ups, speed options (currently only one speed is implemented) and memory optimisation (to support Amigas with only 512 KB Chip RAM). The Grid can be downloaded free of charge from the title link. (nba) [News message: 07.

The client is able to scan (or print) without having to install drivers on the client device, as the firmware provided in the scanner is used. Communication is based on the Internet Printing Protocol, a printing service over a network. SSL support has been added in the new version. Currently, the preview image is still displayed in colour, even if greyscale or black and white has been selected. The final scan is displayed in the selected colour mode. The archive can simply be extracted and copied to the location of your choice. In our test, a Canon G6000 was found without any problems and scanned a document as required, which can be saved as either a jpeg or pdf file. (dr) [News message: 05.

Version 2 of his floppy emulator "GoFloppy" (amiga-news.de reported) is now available, which has an additional special adapter for Amiga computers. This adapter makes it possible to place the GoFloppy on the Amiga 500 / 600 / 1200, and a flex cable supplies the data and power through the ventilation opening of the Amiga. In addition, a switch on the GoFloppy allows you to switch between the internal drive and the GoFloppy as the primary drive in the Amiga (the internal drive is disabled when the GoFloppy is the primary drive). Finally, he offers various scented candles to "enhance the player's experience of Amiga games." (dr) [News message: 05.

The songs can be purchased on Bandcamp, a CD version can be ordered from the author by e-mail. As Bow tells us, a whole series of Amiga computers (A500+, A1200 and A3000) were used for the production. Trackers are responsible for a large part of the rhythm work, but Amiga-based software synthesizers, real-time effects programs and MIDI software are also used on each track, which together produce a "very special sound" according to the artist.

With his permission and assistance, new graphics and levels were created for the second part. Robbo is a universal combat robot that has got into trouble and needs to be rescued from abandoned military bases with the player's help. The gameplay is based on the classic Sokoban but there are many other elements and a top-down view that Tukatsch invented. There will be a lot of graphics from different artists, and the animations themselves will be different and more rich. The early version 0.1 that has now been released implements basic control of the robot and interaction with objects. (dr) [News message: 02.
