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.

Tennis simulation: Center Court 2 (AGA)
Twenty years ago, Gernot Fritsche was working on a sequel to his commercially distributed tennis simulation Center Court which was written in Blitz Basic - but he lost interest in the Amiga before the project was completed.
The source could now be rescued from the author's mostly broken harddisk, Fritsche added a title picture and the missing parts of the English translation using WinUAE. Center Court 2 requires an AGA Amiga, it was initially developed on a A1200 with 4 MB Fast RAM, recent builds were only tested on a similar WinUAE configuration though. (cg)
