Arcade classic: Bagman
Jean-François Fabre ported his SDL-based clone of the arcade classic Bagman to the Amiga, which required SDL libraries and thus a graphics card. Now a port is available which directly uses the chipset graphics of the Amiga.
Bagman requires 2 MB RAM, ECS and at least a 68020 processor. The source codes of the game which was written in C++ are available on Github.

No more sending Ctrl+C to the server to shut it down." (video). Until January 20th you can purchase ZitaFTP 15% off the standard price.

AmigaOS 4: MiniGL for GL4ES
Daniel Müßener's MiniGL for GL4ES ("MiniGL4GL4ES"), which is available in a first alpha version, allows also users of Polaris graphics cards to play a lot of the MiniGL games under AmigaOS 4.
MiniGL is based on Warp3D which has never been adapted for Polaris graphics cards while the OpenGL implementation GL4ES is based on OpenGLES2 - written by the same author - which uses Warp3D Novas. Thanks to Hans de Ruiter it supports Polaris graphics cards.
But currently there is an important limitation: You should not run more than one MiniGL application simultaneously. You can find notes on known errors under the title link.

MIDI sequencer: Source code of "Horny" released
The source code of the MIDI sequencer "Horny" which was developed to 2003 to 2006 now is available under a free license on GitHub. The developer Timo Kloss wrote: "This code is so bad, I had to give up working on it. It's here for nostalgic and historical reasons only." The names of variables and functions are in German.
Kloss himself is not going to develop the program further but thinks it might be possible to remove the keyfiles checks and to provide some minor bug fixes by third parties. Originally Horny was written with StormC and due to porting it to AmigaOS 4 then adapted to GCC.

Beta version: Port of Raid over Moscow
A beta version of a port of the 8-Bit classic Raid over Moscow has been released. In three different game sections you have to face Russian aggressors preventing a nuclear attack on the United States.
The Amiga port is developed by Erik 'Earok' Hogan, the graphics are provided by Adrian Cummings, the soundtrack by Simone Bernacchia. Raid over Moscow should run on each Amiga equipped with at least 1 MB RAM but has not tested on real hardware yet. All elements of the original 8-Bit game have been already implemented but the programmer expects minor bugs or NTSC incompatibilities.
A manual still has not been published, the players are supposed to use the manual of the C64 version.
