The Settlers II: More Collector's Edition boxes available |
| software Classic posted by AmigaPapst on 10-Nov-2025 12:49:15 (516 reads) |
Düsseldorf, 8 November 2025
Numerous requests from the community have led Look Behind You to increase the limited Collector's Edition of The Settlers II Gold Edition for the Amiga: instead of the originally planned 100 copies, 250 wooden boxes will now be produced.
Shortly after the announcement in August, the Look Behind You team received countless emails, messages and personal conversations at trade fairs in which fans expressed their disappointment at the small number of copies. Look Behind You is thus responding to the requests of many collectors and increasing the number of copies to give more fans the chance to purchase this special edition.
The deluxe version, priced at £99.90, will be available from 1 December 2025 and includes the game on DVD plus a download option, a colour world atlas, manuals in English and German, four exclusive collectible postcards in retro design, and a high-quality metal magnet (8x5cm) with the iconic castle motif from the first part of The Settlers – all packaged in an authentic wooden box in The Settlers II design.
Orders for the Collector's Edition will be unlocked on Friday, 14 November 2025, from 6 p.m. on the Look Behind You website.
The Standard Box Edition (£49.90) and the Digital Edition (£29.90) have been available since 18 October 2025.

Boxed and Digital-Version of Phantom Leap – New Platformer Adventure from HooGam |
| News posted by AndreasM on 8-Nov-2025 13:06:25 (462 reads) |
HooGames2017 is pleased to announce the physical boxed version (and Download-Version) of Phantom Leap! The new platformer adventure for the Amiga combines classic platforming action with fast reflexes, precise jumps, and the unique Phantom Leap, which catapults players to higher platforms or over chasms in a flash.
In Phantom Leap, the player takes control of Kamin, a brave hero who battles his way through colorful interludes filled with platforms, trampolines, ladders, crates, and friendly enemies. The goal is to overcome obstacles, skillfully evade enemies, or take them down with a dive, thus mastering level after level.
Along the way, Kamin collects golden coins, puzzle pieces, and golden apples that secure progress and unlock bonus content. A clear HUD displays life, energy, collected coins, enemy kills, and points at all times – ideal for high score hunters and fans of classic Amiga action.
The physical edition of Phantom Leap comes as a collector's box with a retro-style printed manual and other lovely extras that perfectly round out the gaming experience.

Updated programs
Annotate v3.1 - (OS3,OS4,MOS,AROS) A programmer's text editor with a lot of functions such as syntax highlighting.
- Major stability improvements. (However, I got news that the OS3 version fails on RTG hi/true color screens.)

- "Show all occurences" when selecting a piece of text.
- Search all opened files, by continuing Find Next.
- Anti-alias text font rendering on OS3 on hi/true-color screens.
- Various fixes.
- Organized sources and compiled a build environment that can build Annotate on OS3.
BackUp v1.93 - (68k) Backup program that mirrors a directory structure incrementally.
- NTFS filesystem awareness, which requires UTF8.
- NFS network drive fixes to prevent re-copying everything everytime.
- FAT filesystem awareness fixes.
- Copy speed indicator.
- Some other fixes and improvements.
MPlayer-GUI v1.62 - (OS4) GUI for MPlayer for OS4.
- This was actually released last year but never announced here.
- Added peg2ide.device, p1022sata.device and p50x0sata.device as options.
- Added new extensions for the file requester since newer MPlayer recognizes more formats.
- Some internal size limit fixes to allow longer paths and correct number of video drivers.
AllKeys v2.41 - (OS4) Hotkey program supporting most multimedia-keys, mouse buttons and wheels.
- This was actually released last year but never announced here.

Amiga Future Archive DVD & USB #6 now available |
| News posted by AndreasM on 29-Oct-2025 16:12:01 (588 reads) |
The Amiga Future Archive DVD #6 has now been released to buy.
Order now: https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?products_id=473
These are professionally mastered discs, so they include a colour image printed onto the upper surface of the DVD9 disc which contains over 8 GB of data. Even though it might not be a problem in principle, please make sure that your optical drive can read DVD9 discs.
You will also require a PDF viewer that can read at least 1.5 of the PDF standard.
On this Amiga Future Archive DVD #6 you will find the following issues of the Amiga Future magazine as PDFs:
German: Amiga Future issues 11 - 170
English: Amiga Future issues 67 - 170
The issues 11 to 26 have needed to be scanned as the original articles text and image data was no longer available, which is not ideal, but was the only way to include these issues. So, unfortunately, their quality is not exactly perfect.
However, all the other issues, both German and English are actually very high quality PDFs.
Issue 11 was the first German Amiga Future issue that was published.
Issue 67 was the first English magazine of the Amiga Future.
So there are over 25 years of Amiga Future history on this DVD.
Sadly there is no way to offer an update option for purchases of earlier versions of the Amiga Future Archive DVD, which we trust you will understand.
There is now also a USB add-on for the Amiga Future Archive.
