Amiga Flame Amiga Flame: 6th anniversary, Go For Goal, Space-Flight simulation
The Amiga online games magazine 'Amiga Flame' celebrates its 6th anniversary, reports about an ice hockey game for AmigaDE with 'Go For Goal', and about a Spaceflight simulation which is in the first development stage.

On 12th October 1996, Philip Cosby went online with Amiga Flame, so the online magazine is celebrating its 6th anniversary. Philip Cosby is glancing back to this origin in an article, describes the current situation and the reason why he started Amiga Flame: "It was as though Amiga users were in a dark room and could see no future, only darkness. I had to light up that room and show them that there are many amazing and exciting games in development."

With Go For Goal, an ice hockey game for AmigaDE is in development. It is inspired by the C-64 game 'Hattrick'. In 'Go For Goal' you control one field player and the goal keeper - the computer acts as opponent.

This game is being developed a.o. by Gabriel Hauber, who is also involved in the Java AmigaDE classes 'Jami'.

The target platform is currently PDAs with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. At a later stage, this will be customizable, so screen sizes from mobile phones up to desktop computers will be supported.

For more information about the game you can mail Gabriel Hauber (gabrielh@gabrielhauber.com).

Amiga Flame has found out, that a new developer team is planning to develop a spaceflight simulation. According to team member Johan Dams, the game will be along the lines of Elite/Frontier. One of the ideas is that the game should be playable over the Internet.

The developers are aware of this project's scope and are looking for talented gfx artists and programmers to push the project forward. Interested people should mail Johan Dams (amiga@sin.khk.be). (sd) (Translation: cb)
