Workbench distribution: AmiKit XE 11.2 (gaming update)
Press release: Today's update brings a number of legendary games to your AmiKit! One of them is premiering on Amiga, actually. It's an action role-playing hack and slash game called Diablo (shareware). Yes, that's right! And you can play it in a window on your Workbench too!
The same with Dune II - you can play it in a window thanks to OpenDUNE port which enhances the original version as well (note that you need the original 1.07eu game files). We've also included a DOS emulator called DOSBox with several shareware games pre-installed like Prince of Persia 1 & 2, Wolfenstein3D and SuperMario. Nice, right? If you have kids, they will love Elfie the Unicorn! We've also included a special easy peasy version for them :-)

Settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion aborted
As amiga-news.de has been told by several sources, the settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion regarding a settlement agreement have been aborted without tangible results last week. As far as we know, the next step to avoid a lengthy and costly trial would be mediation involving a neutral mediator - but we don't know if both parties are actually working towards that option right now.
