VirusZ III: Bootblock file updated
In December the Virus Help Team reported a new bootblock virus (amiga-news.de reported). A week ago a new bootblock file was released to use with VirusZ III v1.02. The team wrote: "Some of the bootblock viruses we have added to the VirusZ_III.Bootblocks, will make checksum changes with each mutation, that means that every time the virus infects, it change code. So there is absolutely no guarantee that the new viruses, we have added it will be reported as a the virus, because the virus could have mutated and changed it's code. But we will add as many mutations as we possible can."
The team also explained under the title link: "VirusZ is still the classic antivirus software for Amiga computers. Virus Help Team have made this VirusZ_III.bootblocks file, because there is nothing else we can do, no one from Virus Help Team knows anything about programming and can't make an antivirus program and Virus Help Team does not have the scource code for the xvs.library by Georg Hörmann. So that is why we think this is better than nothing, at least now VirusZ III can find bootvirus unknown to xvs.library."

Arcade classic: Amiga Space Invaders, beta 3
"Space Invaders" (video) written in Blitz Basic is supposed to be quite an authentic port of the arcade classic with the same name released in 1978. The new beta version fixes minor bugs. Additionally, the game now also runs on an A500 with full speed. A new background picture was added as well: By pressing the 'B' key you can change the background picture, the '1' and '2' keys change the colour of the overlay.

Jump'n Run: Pitfall II - Lost Caverns
'Pitfall II: Lost Caverns' is a port of the classic jump'n run game of the same name to the Amiga using the Scorpion Engine. The current version still is alpha According to the author "it still needs a lot of polish, but it is a fully working and completable port of the C64 release. Unfortunately, this first release won't run smoothly on an A500 - but it should be OK on an A1200 (future updates should be a lot more optimal)."
