`24.Jun.2025` Andreas Magerl (ANF)	Physical edition of Dr. Dangerous now available A physical box edition of the action game "Dr. Dangerous - Secrets of the Temple of Xol'Tan" from HooGames2017 (amiga-news.de reported), which was released last year, is now available. The collector's edition comes with numerous new features and improvements. The revised version of the disk edition offers new difficulty levels (Easy, Medium and Hard), which provide more variety with adapted game mechanics. For the first time, checkpoints can be set at any time in Easy mode, making the game more accessible and easier to play. At the same time, the classic appeal for pros remains fully intact in Hard mode. Four brand new levels expand the adventure and provide additional fun. The music has also been revised: Barry Leitch (known for Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others) and ZEKAVEO, who has already made a name for himself with the soundtrack to the Android game "The Mystical Quest", are responsible for the new soundscape and give the game a dense, atmospheric soundscape. In addition, minor visual adjustments have been made to make certain sections even more harmonious, and loading times have also been significantly improved. Finally, the game is now available in German, French and Spanish as well as English. The boxed version of Dr. Dangerous including download option is now offered for 29,00 Euro.

`24.Jun.2025` Roman 'kas1e' Kargin (ANF)	Snork 0.1: New Tracer/Logger for AmigaOS 4 Snork, a new tool for monitoring and logging function calls in system libraries, is now available to AmigaOS 4 users. The tool is aimed at developers and experienced users who want to debug applications or analyze the behavior of the system. Inspired by Snoopy, a popular 68k debugger by Gerson Kurz from 1994, Snork follows a similar, script-based approach. While the original relied on SetFunction and does not work on AmigaOS 4, Snork uses modern mechanisms such as IExec->SetMethod to specifically monitor current library interfaces. In contrast to existing tools such as glSnoop by Capehill or Snoopy by Colin Wenzel, which focus on specific libraries, Snork is designed to support a wide range of system libraries in the future. The current first version includes support for dos.library and intuition.library; functions with a variable number of arguments are not yet supported, but are planned for future updates, as is support for additional libraries.
