New interpreter for Maniac Mansion and Co.: Parrot
Another "player" for the game data of classic point'n-click adventures is developed called "Parrot". At least the SCUMM based games developed by Lucasfilm are supposed to run. In contrast to existing solutions like ScummVM, Parrot is being developed especially for the Amiga and therefore is optimized for this system and its chipset. For example before the first launch, all data are converted into typical Amiga formats to make them playable also on less powerful copmputers. At least "an ECS Amiga, running Workbench 2" is required.

Remote access to Amigas: squirt
"squirt" is a server having only 5 kb which is launched on Amigas and then allows the remote access to the computer via the network. Using special command line programs you then can control the Amiga with the help of any other computer.
