Preview video: Arcade game "Gemdalus"
RETREAM is about to create "Gemdalus" (video), an arcade game in which the player has to collect all the gems scattered around the labyrinths. Inspired by Snake, the player leaves behind a kind of band of light when collecting gems, which he himself is not allowed to break through. However, like a stretched rubber band, it is possible to snap back. (dr)

Managing ADF files: adflib V0.10.2 for Windows, Linux and macOS
Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format (amiga-news.de reported). The library is currently being developed under the responsibility of Tomasz Wolak. Changes in version 0.10.2:
  • unadf: fix extracting tree for read-only directories
It is also pointed out with regard to the Windows binaries that these apparently had unexpected dependencies on debug versions of the Visual Studio runtime DLLs, which are missing on normal Windows (without Visual Studio installed). The current version should be free of this problem, but could not be tested in advance. If anyone has the possibility to verify this, please report it in the corresponding issue of the GitHub repository. (dr)

Amiga Games That Weren't: screenshots for "The King's Ransom"
'The King's Ransom' was supposed to be an arcade adventure in the style of 'Wrath of the Demon', but was cancelled so that the developers could work on a console game that was considered more urgent.

MorphZone (Forum)


MorphOS: CellBasics announced (update)
MorphOS developer Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek announces his "CellBasics" program in the MorphZone with just one screenshot. The screenshot shows the entry of addresses as in a simple database, but the name and the appearance are more reminiscent of a spreadsheet. Apparently, rows and columns can already be inserted or deleted at the current stage of development, and CSV is used as the storage format.

Update: (16:55, 14.05.25, snx)
As Jacek Piszczek has since explained, the standard Excel syntax has already been implemented, but the common functions still need to be programmed. Standard mathematical operations or referencing other cells or cell ranges do already work, though. CellBasics is an almost completely self-written program, only the formula parser and the routines for loading xlsx files would be ports of open source libraries. (snx)

In memoriam: Manfred Kleimann, ASM editor-in-chief, has passed away
The German computer games industry mourns the passing of Manfred Kleimann, who died on April 13, 2025, at the age of 69. As the creative mind behind the magazine "ASM – Aktueller Software Markt", he is considered one of the pioneers of German games journalism.

Originally coming from the field of urban and landscape planning, Kleimann discovered his enthusiasm for language, media, and technology early on. In the mid-1980s, he recognized the potential of the still young medium of computer games and developed ASM, one of the first magazines aimed not only at programmers but explicitly at gamers, with its own stylistic devices, sections, and unmistakable tone.

From 1986 to 1991, he shaped the profile of the magazine published by Tronic Verlag as its editor-in-chief – and thus also the self-image of a growing gaming community. Kleimann knew how to combine technical fascination, editorial curiosity, and linguistic ease – a style that set a precedent and paved the way for later magazines such as Power Play and Amiga Joker.

He remained connected to the industry even after his time at ASM, working as a product manager at Konami, as a freelance editor, and later as a translator and proofreader.

Manfred "Manni" Kleimann was not a loud representative of the scene, but he was an influential one. His keen sense for topics, his editorial style, and his courage to think up new formats leave a lasting impression.

An online condolence book has been set up in memory of Manfred Kleimann. (nba)

iGame is a MUI-based frontend for starting WHDLoad games. George 'walkero' Sokianos has released version 2.4.5 for AmigaOS 2.04 and higher, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. The new information window provides more information about the selected game/demo, such as the year of release, the company/demo group that released it, the required chipset, etc. To be able to open links in the information with a browser, Urltext.mcc is required for MUI 3.x. It is already included in MUI 5.x. The changes in the overview:

Added
  • Added a new "Information" window that includes the "Released date", the "Released by", the "Chipset", the links to external websites and most of the fields from the properties window.
  • Added the option to use repositories based on assigns
Changed
  • The "Properties" window has only the tooltypes of the selected item available to change.
Fixed
  • Fixed a potential crash on exit, happening mostly on AmigaOS 3.1 systems

Flight simulator: Tie Fighter Simulator
"Tie Fighter Simulator" is a small flight simulator created with AMOS and is intended to be a "nostalgic and light-hearted homage to Star Wars, electronic games of the 1980s and the joy of retro programming".

The project was started in 2021 as a personal exercise to relearn AMOS on the Amiga. The idea for the mini-game (a kind of 1980s electronic LED handheld) was inspired by a scene from Star Wars: Episode IV. (dr)
