Arcade adventure: Interested in "boxed" edition of Enemy 2?
At Christmas 2013, the action adventure Enemy 2 - Missing In Action was released as freeware. Technically it is equal to its commercial prequel Enemy - Tempest Of Violence but offered new levels and brought the story to an ending.
The team behind "Missing In Action" is considering to release a boxed edition of the game, which obviously was inquired by collectors. For 19 Euro, including shipping (within Germany), this box would contain:
- Enemy 2 on two new DD disks
- Bilingual version; the English translation was provided by professional translators for 400 Euro
- a colourful game manual in size DIN A5, which describes the game structure and game controls
- Slip lid in the same format like "Enemy 1: Tempest of Violence" for folding
The boxed version would have to be paid in advance. At least 100 pre-orders are necessary for starting the production. If you are interested in this edition, then please send an eMail to the team.

Emulator: iUAE 1.2 for iOS
iUAE is an implementation of the Amiga emulator UAE for Apple's iOS-devices. Since Apple does not easily add emulators to the Appstore, iUAE is available via Cydia, which requires Jailbreak. Users of a MacOS-X computer can install the programm without using Jailbreak via Sideload on their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch by compiling the source code by themselves.
Changes in version 1.2:
- Support for Multiple Joypads
- Use your Idevice as a Joypad
- Gyroscope option for Vpad
- HD Support
- Kickstart Rom Selector
- Support for Cloanto Amiga Forever Roms and 256k Roms
- Improvement in Memory handling
- Many small improvements
