`25.Jun.2002` Ruediger Hanke/ScummVM Team (ANF)	ScummVM: Trouble with the law Users of MorphOS- and AmigaOS versions of the GPL engine ScummVM for playing LucasArts adventures are maybe interested in this: The ScummVM-Team was forced by LucasArts to shut down the site to July, 1st, because of viloation of rights upon the SPU engine. The eMail from LucasArts and the answer of the project leader of ScummVM, James Brown, is published on the ScummVM developers list (title link). The arguments in the answer are dealing with an error (maybe LucasArts thought it was "Abandonware" presented for download). Because ScummVM was disassenbled out of LucasArts program code, it is maybe possible that it is illegal in the USA, as a violation of the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). But this is just guesswork of someone. We have to wait for an answer of LucasArts. (ps) (Translation: gf) [News message: 25.

`23.Jun.2002` ANN	Forum: Amiga support forum by SWAUG The South Wales Amiga User Group (SWAUG) has set up an English language support forum for Amiga computers on groups.yahoo.com. This is available for discussions on a wide palette of Amiga topics as well as for posing questions and providing assistance. Apart from the support purpose it is hoped that the forum will be utilised for the coordination of trips from Wales to fairs like the World of Amiga taking place in November.

`23.Jun.2002` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: "TimeKeepers" full version, "The Prophet" update A full version of the puzzle game "TimeKeepers" by Vulcan Software and a bug fix for the 3D role playing game "The Prophet" have been published on the Amiga Arena web site. "TimeKeepers" full version The German HD version of the puzzle game "TimeKeepers I" is available for download with authorisation by Paul Carrington (Vulcan Software Ltd.) . "TimeKeepers I" is an action/puzzle game in the style of "Lemmings" or "Humans". The goal of the game is to steer your 14 police units through the levels. "The Prophet" update Last year, the 3D role playing game "The Prophet" by Mark Ford had been published exclusively through "Amiga Arena" for free download. Unfortunately the final commercial version contained a bug. This has been fixed with the update, and "The Prophet" can now be played till the end. (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 23.
