amiga.org: "Proxy" for IBrowse users
amiga.org has figured out a very smart solution for a common problem: Since the code of the website was changed to CSS- many problems occured if the site was accesed with older Amiga browsers. Therefore the administrators has developed a proxy that translates the modern HTML-sites of the portal in CSS-free HTML 3.

MorphOS: Several game ports (update)
During the last months "SixK" has ported some SDL-based, open-source games to MorphOS:
Round based strategy: Free Heroes of Might and Magic 2
Free Heroes of Might and Magic 2 is a reimplementation of the first two parts of the fantasy series Heroes of Might and Magic (screenshots: 1, 2). The files of the original, commercial version are required.
Download: fheroes-src-r1410_mos.tar.gz (2,8 MB)
Action role playing game: FreedroidRPG 0.13rc2
FreedroidRPG is an action roleplaying game similar to Diablo (screenshots: 1, 2). The MorphOS-archive contains two versions: freedroidRPG_opengl uses the graphic-hardware for displaying it. Because of the limitations of the MorphOS-port of OpenGL there can be some problems.
Download: freedroidrpg-0.13rc2_mos.tar.gz (133 MB)
Arcade-Puzzler: Pushover 0.0.2
Pushover is a remake of an old commercial Amiga game (screenshot).
Download: pushover-0.0.2_mos.tar.gz (40 MB)
Lemmings-clone: Pingus 0.7.2
Pingus is a clone of the Amiga classic Lemmings (screenshot). The MorphOS-archive should not be extract with untgz because this program does not create some empty folders required by the game. The MorphOS-version does still not include any compiler optimizations.
Download: pingus_0.7.2_mos.tar.gz (13 MB)
Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid 1.14
Blob Wars is a 2D-platform game (screenshots: 1, 2).

Download: starfighter-1.1_mos.tar.gz (3 MB)
Powermanga 0.90

The Retro Remix Amiga Game Making Competition
On amiga.org you can read:
"Hi everyone!
Due to the overwhelming success and response to the Festive Amiga Game Making Competition, the team at Underground Arcade has decided to host quarterly competitions which means you will be given the chance to enter four different Amiga game-making contests each year and win some amazing Amiga prizes!
So, are you ready for it now? Our next competition theme is... RETRO REMIX! The challenge is to remake any game you like for the Amiga. It doesn't have to be an exact remake or clone of the original game, but could be more like a "Deluxe" or "Lite" version, or perhaps a sequel.
This time you'll have two months to complete your entry, starting now. All of the entries must be uploaded and ready to play by March 31st 2010. We will be announcing the full list of really cool prizes over the next few weeks so stay tuned! I can say that the prizes we have so far are really fantastic! I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this competition's prize pool and if anyone wants to donate any more prizes, please let me know by private message or email, thanks!
The rules of this "Retro Remix" competition are here:
1. This time, we're giving you two months to work on your game. If your game isn't finished by the end of the time limit (March 31st), upload it anyway but have at least one playable level or a demo of the game completed.
2. The game you make for this competition must be playable on either classic OCS or AGA Amigas. This way, it'll reach more people who have classic hardware, or have access to UAE. If you want to port your "remixed" game to another system - AROS, MorphOS or OS4, feel free to as long as your final competition entry will work on a classic Amiga.
3. The game you "remix" must be based on an already existing game on any system (including Amiga) and you must clearly state in the ReadMe file which game you are basing it on too.
4. Ripped graphics are allowed, but keep in mind that enhanced or new graphics can sometimes improve your chances in the competition.
Feel free to use any software you like to create your game, including the use of game editors such as Backbone, SEUCK, GRAC/GRAAL or program it yourself if you like. If you need any help getting started on your game, please let us know and we'll try our best to help you.
If your talent lies mainly in one particular field, such as music arrangement and composition, or perhaps you're a coder or graphic artist who doesn't feel up to creating an entire game on your own, why not consider teaming up with others and sharing the prizes. Post away and let people know about your skills and ideas, and maybe there'll be someone else who wants the help you have to offer.
That's all for now! Good luck everyone and don't forget to keep checking back for news on prizes and more!"
