Localization for the latest WinUAE version
With the latest version of WinUAE Toni Wilen has reactivated the old "WinUAE_language.dll" system which has not been used since almost three years but allows to localize the GUI of WinUAE.

Steven Weiser, a WinUAE beta tester, just started to build a German translation right after he got the SDK. The translation is available at this homepage.

If there are any issues with that file, Steven is reachable at Borg_no.one@gmx.net. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Today's game industry is rift with old worn out ideas that have be rehashed time and time again, have you played to many FPS or RTS games? With GameShop we are hoping to nurture new game developers with fresh ideas for the gaming industry. Now being broke does not mean your great game idea will not be published.

2004 should be a banner year for Amiga & Amiga compatible systems. All those new customers will need relaxing and entertaining games on their systems. And new game authors need free web hosting and low cost no nonsense publishing terms to get their titles available to that user base.
