Ancient Domains of Mystery: ADOM 1.2.0 Prerelease 1
After almost ten years Thomas Biskup and Jochen Terstiege have published an update of Ancient Domains of Mystery which is available for Amiga as versions for 68000, 68020 and 68040 processors.

Nearly four weeks before the end of the pledge campaign almost 29.000 US-Dollar have been donated.

If there will be further prereleases depends on the attainment of the 48.000-Dollar goal. These prereleases will be only available for those people who at least pledged 25 Dollar. The final version 1.2.0 then will be available for all. This version will be published "probably something like 4-7 months after the end of the campaign." (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: LowEndMac article "Amiga Operating System Meets PowerPC Macs"
LowEndMac is a website which is about older Apple computers. In an English-language article under the title link, Sebastian Patting has introduced MorphOS to other Mac users and emphasized the speed of performance of this operating system.

His conclusion: "And it's for those Macintosh users who like to experiment and experience a new operating system on their PowerPC Macs. That's where I see myself, and I had a lot of fun playing around with MorphOS on my eMac.
It is not a full OS X replacement, but it can come close to it, depending on your computer needs. My advice: Download the 30 minute demo and try it out. Try to do your daily and usual tasks for some days and see if MorphOS suits you." (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS: DOS-Scripts for saving and restoring system configurations
Paolo Besser wrote: Time for a little vacation. Before leaving for two weeks, however, I thouhgt to make a little gift to the whole AROS community. These little scripts will be handy to backup and restore your AROS system environment. Not necessarily Icaros only, it will work also on other distributions and even on nightly builds. The only requirement is having the AROS zip command somewhere (preferably in extras:C, but it should not be important). (cg) (Translation: dr)
