Jump'n Run: C64 port "Fred's Journey"
In the mid-1990s the protagonist "Fred" had many adventures on the C64, e.g. in the Fred's Back series. In cooperation with the former author and the graphic artist Hans Sommer, Retroguru has ported the first two parts of the series to the Amiga, called "Fred's Journey".
Fred's Journey requires an Amiga equipped with at least 1 MB RAM. Currently some problems might occur depending on respective memory and Kickstart configuration of the computer. The developers have already released two updates to fix that. The game can be downloaded for free but a boxed version "most likely" will be there in the next few weeks.

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.7.12
RedPill is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which can help developing games of diverse genres - published videos show versions of Pacman and Mirror. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast RAM.
Changes:
- New Triggers Show Scores and Enter Hiscore add Hi-Score functionality to Redpill.
- In case of CD32, Enter Hiscore tries to save the scores in the local drive, if not uses CD32 non-volatile memory. I hope someone can test it :)
- New project ex_hiscores shows how to use these new triggers.
- Fixed issue when exporting games that use image background and sprite background at the same time.
- Updated Lha compression and now time is right for unpacked files (Until 2038).

The Register: Ideas for explaining an Amiga mystery wanted
A strange case the "The Register" has reported under the title link: an Amiga 4000 only then were transfered files from an external SCSI harddrive if the clock program was running - with a certain window size and placed on the top right-hand side of the Workbench.
The editor, Richard Speed, himself has given a possible explanation: "I suspect the issue was a weird DMA conflict between the DMA-based SCSI controller and the rest of the system with the clock application rendering adjusting the timings just enough for it to work." But he has enrouraged the readers to give similar theories in the comment section.

Artur 'Arti' Jarosik has ported the Metroidvania clone "Hydra Castle Labyrinth" to AmigaOS. His version supports joysticks and (CD32-) gamepads, runs in windows or fullscreen mode, scales the screen solution as required and supports "save points". An Amiga equipped with a Vampire accelerator board is recommended.

Jump'n Run: Mini Zorro as Boxed Edition or free digital version
"Mini Zorro" (video) has been available for some weeks and is another part of a series of Backbone games released by José A. 'Jojo073' Gonzáles and Zoltar under the labels 'Amiga Wave' and 'IronGate' (e.g. Mini Swat). Upon request the digital version is available for free via e-mail. Additionally you can order a physical boxed edition with disks, manual and comic as well as stickers.
