Xmas Glass Ball Factory
It is a simple mind game. There are versions for ECS, AGA and graphic boards.
Download: XMAS_GBF.lha (70 KB)
Sam and Max
This a point'n click-adventure created with Gaphic Adventure Creator ("GRAC") with the two comic heros Sam & Max
(screenshots: 1, 2, 3). The author calls it as a first attempt to work with GRAC. Hint: The game requires an assign GRAC2: which has to refer to the directory which includes the Sam&Max-folder.

Christmas Boulderdash
This is Guido Mersmann's famous BoulderDäsh RTX which the author facetiously had offered for several times as game for the competition - obviously in vain.
Download: boulderfull.lha (4,5 MB)
The vote will be soon started. Currently a HTML-solution which is compatible to IBrowse is tried to be found. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: 8-Bit-Emulator Atari++ 1.58
The emulator Atari++ emulates Atari's 8-Bit-home computer as well as the game console Atari 5200. The AmigaOS-4-port was made by Ventzislav 'drHirudo' Tzvetkov, supports AmigaInput and can be controled with joysticks or analog controllers.
New features of version 1.58 include:
- Fixed a couple of issues in the GUI, specifically when entering data into string gadgets
- Fixed again a couple of exception handling issues in the menu
- Made the keypad stick configurable, the keys for joystick emulation are now part of the configuration
- Added a dummy front-end, "NONE", that does not render anything to the screen
- This release supports .CAS images; however, they are not part of a C: (tape) emulation, but emulated as disks. Depending on the contents of the tape archive, the disk is either considered a boot disk, a binary or a basic file
- This release supports better disk support for BASIC and MAC/65 files. If you insert such a file into the emulated disk drive, the emulator will build a DOS 2.0S compatible disk structure around it and you can load the image from the emulated disk as D:PROGRAM.BAS or D:PROGRAM.ASM. Note that such disks are *not* bootable, you first need to boot, and then turn on the emulated disk drive
- Fixed emulation of read-modify-write instructions. The 6502 consistently writes the old value before replacing it by a second write with the updated value
- The default alsa output device has been changed from hw:0.0 to default, making it more compatible to hardware setups
- The disassembly of the BVC instruction was invalid, fixed
- Added the space bar as possible source for joystick events
- Fixed some issues with preferences reading
- Added additional tests for ROM image verification
- Fixed a NULL pointer reference in the cartridge module

MorphOS: Port of Virtual Grand Prix 3 "possible"
The Aminet-team asked author Paolo Cattani if it is allowed to publish the MorphOS-version of his Formel 1 simulation "Virtual Grand Prix 2" on Aminet. The author answered that it is still possible to donate for VGP2 as well as it is possible to port the successor Virtual Grand Prix 3 although there are some "technical problems" and he is not going to "promise the earth".

Instant Messenger: AmiMSN 1.2-WIP ("Xmas-edition")
- Minor memory leak fix
- Launch from icons. PNG/NewIcon/Old-style icons included
- Removal of MD5SUM. Using function in rxlibnet
- Only says "is now known as" if they were already online
- "User is typing.." message sent to recipients. This is only
now possible due to the new switchboard code in 1.1
- Changed text font (that will be shown on recipients side)
from MS Sans Serif to Segoe UI
- Recognises when WLM aborts a file being sent to you
- Thumbnail data sent from Windows Live Messenger when an image
file is offered, is saved to RAM:Preview.png
- Obtain ticket quicker on OS4
- If someone offers you a file without saying anything first,
a window will now open. Increases compatibility with some
clients that use a new switchboard session for file transfers
- Small change to try to stop clients from requesting your
avatar too often
- A few minor optimizations
- Fixed long standing bug when removing a group in IRCd mode.
Anyone who was online in the group/channel that was removed,
the WHOIS reponse would still show them being in that now
non-existant channel
- Crude Direct connection support for receiving when listening.
Should work in the majority of cases when receiving from WLM
Users of AmigaOS 4 should add the libraries rxsocket.library and rxlibnet.library to the Blacklist of the JIT-emulator to avoid problems with AmiMSN.
