TCP-Stack: Roadshow for AmigaOS 2/3 in January, Demo-version available
Roadshow is a TCP-stack which was ported by Olaf "Olsen" Barthels and which is used under AmigaOS 4. About 10 years ago it was intended to release another version for earlier AmigaOS. This project failed due to the lack of a graphical user-interface.

Meanwhile Barthel decided to realise the project without a GUI and instead to explain the text-based configuration files with a manual. Because Roadshow can only be run from the command line shell and the printable PDF reference document which has more than 100 pages the author and APC&TCP wrote that "Roadshow is expected to be most useful for knowledgable, experienced Amiga users rather than for beginners."

The demo version of the stack is limited to 15 minutes and is already available on the website of APC&TCP. According to Barthel the release of the full version is planned for January. The price has not yet been set but Barthel guesses it will be 20-25 Euro for the download-version and a little bit more for the CD. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Quiz game Ask Me Up
Jérôme "Glames" Senay who also is the author of Word Me Up XXL has released a new quiz game called Ask Me Up which for the present is available for AmigaOS 4.1 - a MorphOS version is to follow during the next days.

"Ask Me Up is a video game about general knowledge. The principle is quite simple: 1 question, 4 possible answers" (screenshot). "A "dual" mode is available in L and XL editions: two players compete in turn on the same set of questions." A demo version with 80 questions is available for free.

Puzzle game: G.E.M.Z. 1.1 for all Amiga systems
G.E.M.Z. written by Fabio Falcucci and Pascal Papara is a commercial puzzle game. The goal of the game is to push bricks of the same colour closely together to make them disappear (screenshot, video).

In version 1.1 there are some new preferences. Additionally the programm code was highly optimized:
  • Got several FPS increase in all scenes for the High and Medium detail levels
  • Huge speed up in the Play screen rendering +35% for High and Medium detail levels
  • Fullscreen message was corrected for Amiga, OSX and MorphOS systems (alt/cmd/amiga+enter)
  • Now it's possible to turn on/off the music in the main screen and in the pause screen, this setting will be saved for the next sessions
  • During language selection the you may change the details level which will be remembered for the next game sessions
  • Added Swedish and Japanese translations, fixed english translation
  • Corrected the sprite layers order in LOW and MIN settings
  • Now all musics are encoded using OggVorbis/128Kb, this means that the game size is now around 130Mb (depending on the version), MacOSX PPC is still 480Mb because a bug we are trying to resolve.
  • Speed up in game matrix initial rendering, madness level rendering is much faster now
  • Reduced 20% SoundFX volume

Since November 2012 G.E.M.Z. has been sold for free with all sold AresOne complete systems. If you purchase the game now and later an AresOne you will get back the money for G.E.M.Z. Purchasers of the software bundle A-Live will get a free copy of G.E.M.Z. (cg) (Translation: dr)
