Miscellaneous News   Help Make Amiga Great Again...
  Miscellaneous News posted by Hans on 22-Aug-2024 0:59:40 (1058 reads)
I made a huge mistake when launching the Kea Campus: I was so focused on the "learn to code" side, that I forgot to explain why the Kea Campus' Amiga Corner exists.

No, it's NOT just an add-on, or some kind of mere token. It's there for a specific mission. A mission that I hope you'll support, because help is needed to make it a success. More support means that more is possible.

Amigaworld.net News   Super Skidmarks Installed on the A600GS
  Amigaworld.net News posted by amigakit on 13-Aug-2024 11:53:05 (1363 reads)
SUPER SKIDMARKS RACING GAME BUNDLED ON THE A600GS
Cardiff, 13 August 2024

Amiga Indie Games developer, Chris Blackbourn has given approval for his
classic Amiga game, Super Skidmarks to be pre-installed on the new A600GS.


Super Skidmarks is now installed ready to play on the A600GS. Existing A600GS users can download a free update directly from Amisphere.com to install the games to the games menu.

Skidmarks was a multiplayer top down racing game created by New Zealand programmer, Chris Blackbourn. It was released for the Amiga in 1993 to much acclaim from users and magazines. The game featured 3D cars that could race around a selections of track. The graphics pushed the Amiga's capabilities at that time. The gameplay was enjoyable especially when playing in multiplayer mode with up to four friends. Super Skidmarks followed as an update in 1995 with more tracks and vehicle types. Players could add caravans hitched to their cars or even race cows on wheels!

Chris is reviving the Skidmarks game by developing a new internet multiplayer version named Epic Skidmarks. Matthew Leaman, MD of AmigaKit Ltd commented on the collaboration: “We are grateful to Chris that he has given his approval to include his much loved racing game with the A600GS. I know many of our users will be so pleased to relive this classic racing game. Chris new project, Epic Skidmarks looks great!"

Chris Blackbourn remarked: "It's fantastic to see the Amiga community enjoying these classic games, and sharing them with a new generation of gamers. Thanks AmigaKit Ltd for supporting the community!"

The A600GS computer system is available now from AmigaKit.com and AmigaKit.fr

software Classic   Heretic II 2024 for AmigaOS 3.x (68K)
  software Classic posted by AmigaPapst on 12-Aug-2024 8:51:00 (889 reads)
Hyperion is excited to unveil a brand-new port of Heretic II (2024) developed by Steffen Häuser, tailored specifically for high-performance 68K Amiga systems.


About Heretic II


Heretic II is the highly acclaimed conceptual sequel to the Hexen and Heretic series by Raven Software ®. Heretic II relies on a modified version of the Quake IITM engine by Id Software and plays from a behind-the-back third-person perspective as in the Tomb Raider series but still controls a lot like a first-person shooter.


Features

  • Quake II TM 3D Engine from Id Software ®

  • Software renderer and MiniGL renderer (MiniGL renderer can only be used when 3D HW drivers are available for PiStorm). The software renderer runs 25 fps on 640x480 on Pi CM4, 21 fps on Pi4, 19 fps lowres on Pi3. For Pi3 there are also 480x270 and 640x360 resolutions.

  • Atmospheric game music via Ogg Vorbis Replay

  • Localization (both text and audio output) in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish

  • Improved quality of the video intro/extro

  • Multiplayer support (Internet or LAN for up to 32 players)

  • Impressive enemy AI

  • Excellent player control (mouse, keyboard, joystick), optional PSXPort support

  • Expandable with new mission packs such as Quake


Technical requirements

  • AmigaOS ® 3.x PiStorm (Pi3, Pi4 or CM4) or via emulation such as UAE

  • 64 MB RAM minimum, more recommended

  • Picasso96 with chunky 16 bit modes (no AGA)

  • AHI 4.18

  • mpega.library (game installer can install it)

  • 400 MB free hard disc space


This new version of Heretic II is available at the distributor Alinea Computer and other Amiga dealers.

Amigaworld.net News   AmiModRadio v1.0β
  Amigaworld.net News posted by tygre on 9-Aug-2024 16:42:18 (307 reads)
Hi all!

I'm happy to release AmiModRadio, v1.0β! It fixes #7, #8, #82, #111, #136, #137, #138, #139. More importantly, I revised the design of FTP and HTTP(s) clients so that tasks have their own SocketBase and other data. This revision should prevent bugs if, for example, the rater finishes while the fetcher is still fetching data, let's cross fingers . Most importantly, I provide now five different versions: all-in-one or with only the CLI, ClassAct, MUI, or ReAction user interfaces. More choices, fewer resources! (It uses but doesn't require AmiSSL v5.16.)

As usual, it can be downloaded, along with its source code:

- Via HTTP, on my Amiga Web server ;
- Via HTTPs on Aminet of course ;
- Via HTTPs on BitBucket;
- Via HTTPs on SourceForge.

Please contribute by asking for features, reporting bugs, or offering translations!

Cheers!

Amigaworld.net News   Heretic 2 for 68k Release on 9th August 2024
  Amigaworld.net News posted by MagicSN on 7-Aug-2024 10:16:03 (619 reads)
Starting Friday 9th August Heretic 2 68k will be available at Alinea Shop (and possibly soon other resellers as well).

Minimum requirements are a PiStorm based Amiga or a strong emulation system (UAE etc also supported).

Speed Data:

Pi Cm4 2.2 GHz: 25 fps in 640x480, 19 fps in 800x600
Pi4 1.8 GHz: 21 fps in 640x480
Pi3 1.5 GHz: 19 fps in 320x240, 12 fps in 640x360

This is timedemo data, timerefresh values are higher.

Different to the old WarpOS Version the fps-rate is extremely stable, no fps-drop on heavy action scenes.

The game is prepared for MiniGL (above values are software rendering), so if a 3D HW Driver appears for PiStorm (or other 68k hardware) it should work on it (assuming it supports MiniGL).

Background music is played in Ogg Vorbis instead of CD Audio. So no CD Drive needed.

I assume Warp3D should be possible with UAE with Voodoo-Emulation though this has not been explicitely tested.

Amigaworld.net News   Virtual GP and Thunderhell Games Bundle on the A600GS
  Amigaworld.net News posted by amigakit on 4-Aug-2024 12:22:24 (609 reads)
VIRTUAL GRAND PRIX AND THUNDERHELL GAMES BUNDLED ON THE A600GS
Cardiff, 4 August 2024

Famous Amiga games developer, Paolo Cattani has provided his classic Amiga games to be pre-installed on the new A600GS computer.

Virtual GP and Thunderhell are installed ready to play on the A600GS. Existing A600GS users can download a free update directly from Amisphere.com to install the games to the games menu.

Virtual GP was sadly Paolo's last production for the Amiga range of computers shortly after Commodore's bankruptcy. He wanted to to contribute to the Amiga games scene so started the development of Virtual GP (codename AlienF1). VGP would have to accomplish two missions: on the one hand, it would implement a fast 3D engine aimed at hi-specification Amigas (AGA and 68030 required) featuring gouraud shading, texture mapping, billboarding, curved surfaces and all the things that were “hot” at those times; on the other hand, it had to be the most realistic simulation of a Formula One car available on the Amiga.

Thunderhell is a classic shoot-em-up game. The game is an horizontal scrolling (with three levels of parallax), fast paced shoot’em up full of enemies, bullets, explosions and all the bells and whistles that one could expect from a game of that genre.

Matthew Leaman, MD of AmigaKit Ltd commented on the collaboration: “We are thrilled that Paolo has agreed to include his great games with the A600GS. We are grateful for his support of our project.”

Paolo Cattani added: “As a pioneer in the development of video games for the Amiga range of computers I'm very glad and honoured to give my contribution to an amazing project which keeps alive the memory of a machine that was such a glorious milestone of the IT history.”

The A600GS computer system is available now from AmigaKit.com and AmigaKit.fr
