Competition "Amiga Christmas Tree": Four other games
Dwarves in the Iceland
It is a Lemming-clone which is still an early release (screenshot).
Download: DITI.lha (155 KB)
Xmas Glass Ball Factory
It is a simple mind game. There are versions for ECS, AGA and graphic boards.
Download: XMAS_GBF.lha (70 KB)
Sam and Max
This a point'n click-adventure created with Gaphic Adventure Creator ("GRAC") with the two comic heros Sam & Max
(screenshots: 1, 2, 3). The author calls it as a first attempt to work with GRAC. Hint: The game requires an assign GRAC2: which has to refer to the directory which includes the Sam&Max-folder.
Download: GRAC2.zip (608 KB)
Christmas Boulderdash
This is Guido Mersmann's famous BoulderDäsh RTX which the author facetiously had offered for several times as game for the competition - obviously in vain.
Download: boulderfull.lha (4,5 MB)
The vote will be soon started. Currently a HTML-solution which is compatible to IBrowse is tried to be found. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: 8-Bit-Emulator Atari++ 1.58
The emulator Atari++ emulates Atari's 8-Bit-home computer as well as the game console Atari 5200. The AmigaOS-4-port was made by Ventzislav 'drHirudo' Tzvetkov, supports AmigaInput and can be controled with joysticks or analog controllers.
New features of version 1.58 include:
- Fixed a couple of issues in the GUI, specifically when entering data into string gadgets
- Fixed again a couple of exception handling issues in the menu
- Made the keypad stick configurable, the keys for joystick emulation are now part of the configuration
- Added a dummy front-end, "NONE", that does not render anything to the screen
- This release supports .CAS images; however, they are not part of a C: (tape) emulation, but emulated as disks. Depending on the contents of the tape archive, the disk is either considered a boot disk, a binary or a basic file
- This release supports better disk support for BASIC and MAC/65 files. If you insert such a file into the emulated disk drive, the emulator will build a DOS 2.0S compatible disk structure around it and you can load the image from the emulated disk as D:PROGRAM.BAS or D:PROGRAM.ASM. Note that such disks are *not* bootable, you first need to boot, and then turn on the emulated disk drive
- Fixed emulation of read-modify-write instructions. The 6502 consistently writes the old value before replacing it by a second write with the updated value
- The default alsa output device has been changed from hw:0.0 to default, making it more compatible to hardware setups
- The disassembly of the BVC instruction was invalid, fixed
- Added the space bar as possible source for joystick events
- Fixed some issues with preferences reading
- Added additional tests for ROM image verification
- Fixed a NULL pointer reference in the cartridge module
