Web browser: NetSurf 3.8 (SDL version)
About two weeks ago Artur Jarosik as released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port is based on SDL, only the preferences pane is based on MUI, and is not to be confused with the Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version.

Notice of the editorial: The AGA version 3.8 does not run on the Amiga 1200 equippd with Blizzard-1230 accelerator board of our editor Daniel Reimann - it crashes with Guru-Meditation (80000008). According to the developer the M68060-compiler-switch he did use is not compatible with a 68030 processor with 68881-FPU. Besides, the auto update for the AGA version is broken and therefore has to be downloaded from the title link. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Chip-RAM extension: ACE2 by Individual Computers
For a few weeks Individual Computers has been offering "ACE2". This extension adds two Megabyte Chip-Ram to most of the OCS/ECS-Amiga. Because the board contains two components which are not available any more - the 2MB ECS-Agnus-Chip and a PLCC84 adapter socket - the producer has chosen a "progressive pricing model": The lower the availability of ACE2 the more the price increases. The first price was 120 Euro meanwhile it costs about 130 Euro. The maximum price will be 170 Euro.

Hint of the editorial stuff: On the ACE2 a NTSC version of Agnus is used. This one can be switched between the PAL and NTSC mode but always starts in NTSC mode. Therefore this extension was mainly made for users with upgraded Amigas - while booting from disk under Kickstart 1.3 you cannot change the mode so easily. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Connecting old joysticks to the PC: Arananet Joystick adapter
The Spanish shop Arananet offers an adapter which connects a retro joystick to an USB port of a common PC. No additional drivers are needed because the adapter registers to the host PC as simple USB device. Autofire is supported (if your joysticks allow it). A Spanish review of the adapter you can find on "Commodore Spain". (cg) (Translation: dr)

Jump'n Run: Trap Runner
After Solid Gold, "Trap Runner" (Video) is the second game which the brothers Frank and Gerrit Wille has released. Again it is a Jump'n Run, this time based on the classic game Mario Brothers. Trap Runner offers 5 different worlds each with 4 and one bonus level, a boss at the end of the level as well as some hidden levels.


The player can jump and run but also duck and can activate special skills by collecting pills or magic potion. Besides there are many items to be collected for improving health, getting an extra life or finishing the level.

Trap Runner runs on each Amiga with at least one Megabyte RAM. The game has been developed over seven months and released last weekend at the Function party in Budapest. It is considered to release a commercial collector edition if there is sufficient interest. (cg) (Translation: dr)
