Game: ASM - Das Computer-Spiel (The Director's Cut) released (German)
The game about the former computer game magazine "ASM - Aktueller Software Markt", published from 1986 to 1995, which was announced in May, is now available, but as German version only.
Originating from a programming competition in 1991, the graphic adventure was revised, extended and provided with new music by Roland 'Triace' Voß for twelve months with the help of editors of that time, so that it could now - "just 32 years later" - be completed as "Director's Cut".
As chief editor Manfred 'Manni' Kleimann, the player moves through the editorial building in point-and-click style from the first-person perspective as in "Die Kathedrale" or "Uninvited" and tries to track down the secret of his own memory loss. The game doesn't take itself seriously and wants to let friends of humor à la "Spaceballs", "The Naked Gun" or Monty Python get their money's worth.
In addition to a download version, the game is also available as a physical product, which contains a CD for Amigas with an appropriate drive, including CDTV and CD³², as well as a poster, three disk stickers, an ASM wooden cube and a 20-page manual (in the optical style of an ASM from 1991). Stefan Bayer has exclusively contributed a brand new "Donald Bug" comic for the manual.
"ASM - The Computer Game" runs on any Amiga from Kickstart 1.3 with at least 1 MB RAM. A hard disk installer is also included. The game is controlled by keyboard and mouse, the use of a joystick is optional. A hard disk with 3 MB free memory and 2 MB RAM are recommended. (snx)

Video-Tutorial: Advanced Joystick Sprite Control in AMOS
In another part of his series of short tutorials on AMOS Pro, retro and amiga fan 'Yawning Angel' attempts to answer a user's question about how to apply greater control over sprite animation for a sprite under joystick control: can a sprite be stationary when not being moved, but animate when the joystick is moved?

8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal v2023-09-10
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now.
Today, version v2023-09-10 was released. Changes:
- continues improvements to the MSX 2, especially its video chip and this emulator's automated detection of cartridge types;
- corrects the 65c02's BCD results, where they differ from a vanilla 6502;
- corrects the 65816's state after a BRK while in emulation mode; and
- resolves some timing discrepancies in some of the unofficial NOPs on the base 6502.
