Since early September, Edgar M. Vigdal
has his own homepage. Here, you can
e.g. download the shareware
version of Deluxe Galaga, Deluxe Pacman (both in ECS and AGA versions) as well as Tetriz.
Especially his interpretation of Galaga is one of the top FD Amiga games.

Aminet Status
Urban Mueller writes in dcsam that right now there is no way to say when
Aminet will be running again. Older files can be downloaded from the usual
servers, new uploads are still not exchanged between servers.
Reason for the trouble is that the main server in Paderborn has
been hacked, and has to be completely rebuild.
If Aminet should stay down for duration, the main server will be
transferred back to wuarchive, which would however take some time, too.

PC-Welt: Transmeta unveiled: Patent for cheap CPU
PC-Welt writes:
The mysterious company Transmeta, having Linux developer Linus Thorvalds on their
payroll, has filed a patent for a processor emulating an Intel chip. As US news
service CNet reports, it is a combination of CPU and software behaving like a
X86 CPU. The software translates Pentium commands in a way that the chip can
parse them.
The Patent is available online.

COOL bits Newsticker

- first, despite the latest news from America (Gateway, Amiga Inc., Collas, etc.)
we will of course continue to support the Amiga :-)). If our business can remain
"Amiga only" (well, and a little bit Casablanca :-) ), is very uncertain currently,
however :-(. No matter what might be our new business, it won't be PC :-)))).
All in all, I think the future for the Amiga (or whatever it will be
called) lies in the PowerPC (603/604 - G3/G4). I don't believe anything usable will
come from Amiga Inc. any more :-(. I'd like to be convinced otherwise.
I recommend all Amiga users join the PPC movement, or at least wait
until the Amiga show (Home Electronics World) in November before deciding to change
platforms.
- our homepage is undergoing a complete restructuring right now, so there
are no updates for now. I home the new homepage to be online in about two weeks.
I'm on holiday this week, and won't be answering emails before it's over.
Our shop remains open, of course :-)

reality. A beta version is not yet available, but it's worked upon.

Latest info about CamX/Camouflage project
Amiga development has been put on hold, sadly. We no longer sell to customers.
The decission of Gateway / Amiga Inc. has been accepted with great regret -
really disappointing. CamX will be developed for BeOS and Linux - with unclear
priorities so far. Registered Amiga / Camouflage users can cross-update.

Eyelight development
Jochen Abitz writes:
Mage for AmigaPPC has been canceled. :(
Eyelight has released a demo of Gamma on their website: www.eyelight-it.com. The
development has been put on hold, and will only be continued if 500 people preorder
Gamma.
Here's the original text from the demo:
Gamedemo for CGX3Drave, (c)1999 Eyelight
This is a rather old "game-like" demo for CGX3Drave that showed off the
basics of Gamma, the 3D games construction kit from Eyelight. It requires a CVPPC
since the software engine we developed for CGX3D rave is not available to the
public.
Being completly unoptimized and running on 68K only, it still shows off
nicely what could have been possible with Gamma. Source code (in C but is actually a
direct translation from Golem, Eyelight's scripting language used in Tornado3D) that
creates the whole game is provided. As you can see it is rather simple, and the
scripting environment made Gamma easy to use even for people with no 3D graphics
programming experience.
Unfortunately Gamma has been canceled for the Amiga, due to the many
shakes the market suffered. If there is enough interest and at least 500 Amigans
pre-order Gamma for as low as 50.00 EURO/ US Dollars, we'll still produce it both in
68K and PPC versions.

Stockhausen as project within their studies. We will report as soon as
the Version Watch returns to functionality.
