Looking for demand: Zorro II/III graphics card with SAGA
At the title link, in the forum of a1k.org, Gunnar von Boehn (Apollo team) is looking for interest in a graphics card based on the FPGA chipset of the Vampire turbo cards for Amigas with Zorro II or Zorro III slots. In prospect are the known SAGA graphics modes including a full HD resolution at 60 hertz and the new SAGA 3D functions, video acceleration, 16-bit audio and inclusion of the Amiga video signal for HDMI output.

Since the drivers (P96/AHI) were already available and practically all other components were also at hand, the project could be completed relatively quickly if there was sufficient interest to buy one - allegedly even as early as this summer. (snx)

Vertical shooter: Amiga port of 'Knightmare' released (update)
The musician, DJ and developer 'Hoffman' had released the final version of his amiga version of the game 'Metal Gear' last year (amiga-news.de reported). Also originally written for the MSX and published by Konami was the vertically scrolling shooter Knightmare, of which he released his amiga port today (official video). He wrote:

"Originally released in 1986, Knightmare is one of the many classic games produced by Konami for the MSX. It’s the first in a trilogy of games with each edition opting for a different style of gameplay throughout the series. You play as Popolon and your Mission is to rescue Aphrodite from the clutches of the evil Prince of Darkness. You have to fight your way through 8 levels of enemies and bosses along the way to rescue the Goddess of Love and Beauty. The action takes place in the form of a top-down vertical scrolling shoot’em up style including various power-ups along the way".

The Amiga port contains the follow features:
  • Original game fully disassembled to ensure accurate gameplay

AROS: Text editor 'TwinsIDE 0.1' in progress
According to the developer 'serk118' under the title link, he has started developing a text editor called 'TwinsIDE' for AROS IDE. As he writes, the original plan was to either finish his work on porting AmiDE or to work on porting MurksIDE. But since the latter does not support syntax highlighting, he decided to write a text editor from scratch. (dr)
