`22.May.2023` Michael Kafke (MEDIA-X) (ANF)	Graphic adventure about computer game magazine "ASM" announced (German) A text-graphic adventure for the Commodore Amiga will soon be released about the German computer games magazine "ASM - Aktueller Software Markt" (1986 - 1995). The player slips into the role of editor-in-chief Manfred Kleimann and experiences the everyday madness in the editorial office. The game was essentially created in the 90s and has now been reworked and finished in cooperation with some former ASM colleagues. Details such as screenshots are being withheld by the distributor, APC&TCP, for the time being, the official presentation is planned for an upcoming ASM special. Therefore one can only register for a newsletter at the title link so far. However, Michael Kafke had already shown the game at ARC 2023 in Duisburg, so it can already be seen on some videos recorded by visitors. It will also be demonstrated at Amiga38 in October.
