Shoot'em Up RESHOOT (AGA) can be preordered
Since October the former 'Amiga Joker'editor Richard Löwenstein has been working on his AGA-shooter RESHOOT which he started 20 years ago. According to the developer on Patreon he has almost finished the game, so it can be released in mid-August (promotion video).


The developer advertises for his game with the following features:
  • Fast and furious "Bullethell"-experience for A1200/4000 and CD³² (PAL)
  • All assembler-coded
  • 50 frames action, parallaxed visuals
  • AHX-musicplayer with accelerated chiptune
  • Deluxe edition including booklet "Amiga Joker - The Making of RESHOOT"
If you want to financially support the developer via patreon.com, then soon you will be contacted for the delivery of the CD or download version. All other interested users can now preorder the game in the Amiworx webshop. (cg) (Translation: dr)

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)

Elbox: pci.library 11.0
At the title link Elbox released an update of their pci.library for the Mediator PCI bus-board. Version 11.0 includes a new procedure for allocation of PCI memory, which accelerates the boot process when multi-device PCI cards are used (e.g. USB controller Spider).

The new pci.library allows to re-allocate (free and allocate) PCI spaces from the driver for the specific PCI card. This is useful in case of PCI cards that do not report their PCI spaces typically (e.g. some PCI processor bridges). (snx)

Quick review: Arcade joysticks with Sanwa parts
A few months ago, the ArcadeForge shop startet offering Joysticks with a Atari/Commodore compatible connector that are built from high-quality Arcade parts manufactured by Sanwa and come with a case design that somewhat resembles a Competition Pro.The cases for these input devices, which are sold at 75 Euro, are made of wood, acryl and aluminum.

In the German forum on OpenHandhelds.org, a customer posted Im Forum von OpenHandhelds.org a quick review of the device. His photos clearly show several sharp edges and the individual parts of the case have been assembled with not enough care, apparently. The user also complains about the vendor's reaction to his objections regarding the product quality. (cg) (Translation: cg)

AmigaOne X5000: customers can "register interest" with A-EON
Using a form on the A-EON website, customers can now register their interest to order a X5000 system or motherboard (quote) "for the specific purpose of reserving an AmigaOne X5000 motherboard or complete system for a future order."

The site doesn't list any information regarding the scope of delivery or the price of the product. Meanwhile, users are sharing pictures of a promotional poster for the X5000 and a screenshot of a website that was or will be used for ordering a X5000 in IRC and on Facebook:


In both cases the price for a (undefined) 'complete system' is listed as 1415 UKP plus taxes. That would be roughly 1700 Euro. (cg)
