Support for LUA and ARexx scripts has been improved too May: AROS changed its name in 'AROS Research Operating System' and aros.org got an heavy face-lift.

`23.Dec.2007` Amiga.org (Forum)	Video: Atari ST versus Commodore Amiga in pictures Under the title link, a video was made available by the YouTube user 'Ahle2', which contrasts pictures of the same games in the Atari ST and the Amiga versions, respectively. Despite the restrictions due to the low quality of YouTube videos, on the one hand, the graphical superiority of the Amiga back then becomes obvious, but also, on the other hand, how much the Atari graphic artists were able to squeeze out of their computer, despite the limitation to 16 colors. Titles of the compared games: 1. Rainbow Island 2. SWIV 3. Defender of the Crown 4. Speedball 2 5. Batman 6. Shadow of the beast (Psygnosis opening credits) 7. Shadow of the beast 8. R-Type II 9. Mega lo Mania 10. Dogs of War 11. Turrican 12. Risky Woods 13. Robocop 2 14. The Great Giana Sisters 15. Ghost 'n Goblins 16. Wings of Death (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 23.
