clickBOOM offers Quake sources for download
clickBOOM has also released the Quake1 sources by ID Software. clickBOOM offers help for
programmers wanting to do a PPC implementation. The best PPC versions will be offered for
download at clickBOOM, with a note that owning the original game is required for the PPC
version.
Can someone clarify this: When ID Software officially releases the source code, and a
programmer develops a PPC version from it, why is one required to own the original CD from
clickBOOM? Or is there a difference between the sources from ID Software and clickBOOM?
It would be nice if you would share your knowledge with us in the
forum.

Merry Christmas
DCE, Gruner Bürotechnik and of course Katodev, too (Andreas, Stefan, Markus,
Thorsten, Torsten, Rüdiger and Jörn) wish all Amiga users and visitors of
this server a merry christmas.
We, Katodev, will offer limited support for the next days. But please don't call us
on the phone, but use e-mail. A word to go: Rather shut down once too often...

Programmer for Realsoft 4D (Amiga) wanted!
Realsoft announced the successor of Real3D on their homepage. The new version is called
Realsoft 4D, and is currently only planned for Windows, sadly, since Realsoft has so far
not found a programmer willing to implement such a demanding program for the Amiga. Should
someone be interested, please contact barkholt@post3.tele.dk.

This is where IWin is stealing...
We thought from the very beginning that IWin is a fake/hoax. Now, we read in the Amiga Club
Forum a posting from Ulf, with a URL (title link) which confirms this anew. You find the
plagiarism
on the IWin coorporation website (see DatapakTM).
Dear IWin crew, don't you think
it's about time to come out ;-). The title "biggest hoax/fake of Amiga history" has been
yours for quite some time already :-).

S-Files
Starting immediately, clickBOOM will tell what's new every month with their "S-Files".
In the current S-File there are christmas and new-year greetings. Then, a new game for
girls is announced: "Sarah goes shopping" - which turns out to be a joke from Sofia
(author of the newsletter.
In my opinion it wouldn't be bad to target people who
don't like the shoot-em-up genre that much. (ps)
Then, the newsletter announced what can be expected from the next ten days:
Further details about the new game "Nightlong".
A new project named TNT will be announced.
A statement about PPC and future Amiga developments.
A "crazy" offer: all clickBOOM games - if you do something for it (what will be told
next time).

AMIGA International, Inc. on BCS India '99
From December 8 - 10, this year's TV- and Cable exhibition in New Delhi was held at 'Pragati Maidan'
exhibition grounds. AMIGA, in cooperation with Rajan Electronics, demonstrated at their own booth
how powerful the A1200 can be used in the TV- and Cable industry. In three days we sold more than
a hundred machines, so the show was a full success.
