Font: "TopazDouble" as Amiga-native recreation of Topaz
"TopazDouble" is an Amiga-native recreation of the 8×8 pixel Topaz font, now rendered in 8×16 for modern resolutions. As the developers wrote, the classic Amiga with 640×256 (PAL) uses a resolution close to 2:1 - which means that the standard Topaz font would be half-height if used with resolutions with a pixel aspect ratio closer to 1:1.

Adventure: Demo version of "Mission2Mars" v1.00
After "The Oregon Trail", Sami Vehmaa has released another text-based adventure game for AmigaOS 3, which, however, is only suitable for emulation environments due to its high requirements (250 MIPS): in "Mission2Mars" (YouTube video), a crew of five is on its way to Mars in the year 2029 to drop people off. After the nine-month journey, they spend 16 months on the surface of Mars and another 9 months on the journey home to Earth.
In space, you can visit asteroids and search for ice, like on Mars for signs of life. Using equipment, you can produce air, fuel and food from ice.

Mediathek V0.3 for all Amiga systems
In early August, we presented Jörg Renkert's Hollywood implementation of the MediathekView program for Amiga systems. Five days ago he updated to version 0.3. It would have been quick to write a report about it, but we wanted to test the program in more detail, especially with regard to streaming.
In addition to some adjustments and bug fixes, the information on a selected program is now no longer displayed on the bottom right-hand side, but on the left-hand side in a separate tab, which is automatically switched to when a program is selected.
