`24.Apr.2024`	AmigaOS 4: Mini review of Heretic 2 The adaptation of the third-person shooter "Heretic 2", originally released in 1998 for the PC and two years later also for the Amiga, to AmigaOS 4, which was released this year, was subjected to a short review by Pavel 'pavlor' Dohnal at the title link. His positive assessment is that the game runs fast and relatively stable (tested on a Pegasos 2), supports various graphics standards (software rendering, MiniGL, GL4ES) and can also be played with music without a physical CD in the drive. Apart from the costs, the disadvantage is that some configuration work is required initially (adapting the keyboard layout, setting up MiniGL and the CD unit to be used). Graphic errors were also noticed at certain screen resolutions, but after contacting the author he expects these to be rectified quickly. (snx) [News message: 24.

`24.Apr.2024`	Demo scene: How the Backslide demo was created At this year's Revision demo party, Backslide to Arcanum by Cosmic Orbs took 3rd place among the Amiga demos. Interest attracted that a large bitmap image rotated effortlessly at 50 Hz in full overscan and 1×1 resolution, moving across the screen and changing size arbitrarily. At the title link, 'Jobbo' from Cosmic Orbs explains how he went about it. (snx) [News message: 24. Apr. 2024, 08:28] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`16.Apr.2024`	WinFellow: Developers call for support in preserving old versions WinFellow is one of the most popular Amiga emulators for Windows systems. In order to preserve the digital heritage, the developers are currently compiling an overview of all versions of Fellow for DOS and WinFellow that have ever been released. In addition to the option to download all old versions, a historical retrospective is also being created for documentation purposes. As the developers do not have access to all versions, they are asking users for help. If you hold Fellow versions that are listed as missing, please contact the developers so that the collection can be completed and thus permanently preserved. (nba) [News message: 16.
