AmigaOS 4: Eighth update for arcade game BOH
Simone Bevilacqua has published the eighth update for his commercial arcade game BOH which fixes some minor bugs:
- fixes the handling of sparks colors (did not take into account the platform pixel format, so on some machines colors could look wrong)
- fixes the disappearance of enemies when hit (happened only in the MacOS version, due to a missing assignment)
- fixes a few errors in the Spanish translation
- makes some minor changes to the user's manual
BOH is available for AmigaOS 4, AROS, Linux, MacOS X and Windows. Currently you can buy the game for a special price for 10 ("box"-version) or 7.50 Euro (download version).
