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.

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
Additional Information about A600GS and it's components can be found on these websites:

| Only four months after its initial release, Pangomonium, the Hollywood plugin that contains a state-of-the-art text and graphics engine including full support for color emojis and exotic scripts, is now available in a brand-new version 2.0. This is a major update which now adds SVG support to the plugin. In comparison to the dedicated SVG plugin which has been available for Hollywood for over a decade, Pangomonium's SVG renderer supports more SVG features because Pangomonium's text and graphics engine is much more powerful than the one used in the other SVG plugin for Hollywood. Pangomonium 2.0 is now available for free download for various platforms from the official Hollywood portal. Note that Hollywood 10 is strictly required by Pangomonium 2.0.
