New Amiga-Product: Pure Basic
Xing Interactive are very proud to announce the release of the powerful and versatile programming language "Pure Basic". The product will be released in the second week of February 2003 and is available to consumers at the very competitive price of 29,95 Euro in DVD case packaging.
Pure Basic is more advanced and flexible then any of the other Basic programming languages currently on the market and it comes at a fraction of the price. The beauty of this product is the versatility though as you can develop your own games and applications on PC Windows, Linux or even AmigaOS! Speed is another unique selling point. Where other Basic programming languages crawl at a slow pace due to complex instruction translations Pure Basic shines by even outperforming C++ written code. If you ever wanted to program your own commercial quality games or applications in an easy to learn and even more easy to use language then this is your chance! (ps)

ADA team with inquiry over the Soms3D-Engine
Sylvio K., director/conductor of the Anime development for Amiga team,
decided to start an inquiry concerning the Soms3D-Engine due to the many e-mails with suggestions he got.
Originally it was intended to make Soms an on-line adventure but due to
the suggestions in various mails something else could become of it. Everyone who would like to participate in the inquiry, please
answer the following questions by sending an e-mail with the reference "Soms3D". These are the questions:
What do you think? What shall become of the Soms3D engine?
Currently the favorites are a 'Silent Hill' similar horror game and a 'GTA3'-Clone.

Set-top boxes and more: New statement by Genesi
In a new statement (title link) Raquel Velasco und Bill Buck of Genesi have
a.o. announced a contract for Pegasos and MorphOS based set-top boxes, which
provides for the cash flow necessary for the other projects.
Shows are expensive. 100,000 Dollars have been invested in a short
period of time just for the CES in Las Vegas and the ARC in Aachen and
the respective attention grabbing (not to forget the cost for the other public presentations and events).
Furthermore it contains another hint at having applied legal measures to get
AmigaOS on the Pegasos.
According to the announcement, the Pegasos is shipped with MorphOS, DebianPPC,
Mac-on-Linux and a bundle of games and applications. Ports of OpenBSD and
Gentoo are said to be in the works and available before the CeBIT. Furthermore
there are talks about ports of BeOS, OpenBeOS, NetBSD, Zeta and NewOS. SuSE and
Mandrake are already running on the Pegasos.
