Individual Computers: Pre-order of keyboard/joystick adapter Keyrah V3
Keyrah V3 is the revised version of our popular Keyrah interface (amiga-news.de reported). Keyrah V3 allows you to connect the keyboards of classic computer systems like the Commodore 64 or the Amiga 1200 to modern computers (e.g. PC, Mac, or the Raspberry Pi) via USB. Now you can pre-order the adapter for 47.77 euros, which will be available from 27 April. Supported systems with this model are:
- Commodore C64 (all models)
- Commodore SX-64
- Commodore VIC-20 (VC20)
- Commodore C16
- Commodore C128D
- Amiga 1200
- Amiga 600
- Amiga 500
- Amiga 4000/CDTV
- Atari ST (8-pin connector only)
- PC XT / PC AT (PS/2)
The following systems can be made compatible by mounting additional connectors on the circuit board or using adapters:
- Commodore C128
- Commodore C116
- Commodore plus/4
- Commodore PET (8296)
- Commodore CBM2 (B-Series)
- Amiga 2000/3000 (with PS2 adapter)
Keyrah V3's switch allows you to switch between the standard and a keymap that's geared towards emulation. This switch looks and feels like the original power switch of the Commodore 64, adding a third switch position that allows you to send an ACPI signal to shut down/power up your computer. To avoid triggering the shutdown procedure by accident, this third position is not locked, so the switch will always flip back from it if not held in place. For further safety, the ACPI signal is only sent to the computer after being held in this position for five seconds. (dr)

Puzzle game: Tenebra released
The author 'Haplo' describes "Tenebra" as an "an atmospheric puzzle game with rogue-like aesthetics. Guide the hapless protagonist to the exit. Poor guy is afraid of darkness and refuses to walk in the dark areas" (YouTube video).
Move torches around, push lights on rails, find keys to doors, light up cold braziers, pass through archways that collapse behind you, find oil barrels to make your torches brighter, squeeze through cracks in broken walls etc. First the game was released for C64 and other 8 bit systems before now the Amiga version followed. "Tenebra" comes in two flavours: classic 8-bit looks (non-interlaced) and enhanced looks (interlaced). (dr)
