Hyperion forcibly deleted from Belgium's company register
Belgium-based companies are required to register in Belgium's official company register (KBO, Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen)
and to update their entry in that database if the company's address or key personnel changes. To keep the registration active,
a company also has to file annual reports for each fiscal year with the "Central Balance Sheet Office" of the Belgian National Bank.
Hyperion Entertainment - the company responsible for the development of AmigaOS 4, that had temporarily been declared bankrupt
in early 2015 - apparently failed to comply with the latter requirement by not filing any reports for the last three years. As a result, they were forcibly deleted
from the KBO back in October. The change was announced in one of the October issues of
Belgium's legal newsletter and can be verified in the
online database
of the KBO.
Hyperion still exists as an entity, but according to our research
(automated translation of a Dutch
explanation), having no active registration with the KBO severely restricts a company's ability to do business:
- the company is banned from any commercial activities, i.e. selling goods or services
- the company is currently unable to file any claims in a Belgian court: claims from unregistered entities are
not admissible in Belgian courts
Hyperion can have the deletion from the registry annulled by supplying the missing annual reports to the Belgian National Bank.

Tower 57 for Amiga systems released
In summer of 2015 the arcade shooter "Tower 57" was crowdfunded and released in November 2017. Now also the Amiga port has been finished. The versions for AmigaOS 4 (builds for regular systems as well as for the Tabor motherboard), MorphOS and AROS have been developed by Daniel 'Daytona' Müßener and are distributed in a single archive. First videos of the game played on a X5000 and on Tabor can be found on Youtube.
Because the Amiga version could not be separately donated during the Kickstarter campaign, the developer asks all supporters who are interested in the Amiga port to contact him. New customers can purchase the game for about 12 Euro.
