News is…

…as news does. Its a fact, and you knows it.
So, whilst you’re all still looking at me with a slight squint in your left eye - may I present some news of remakesness.
If you’re feeling a little touchy, then you may like to check out Sensitive for the phones of mobileness. Its a free download of the oft remade little trundle across the tiles fest, and you could do a whole lot worse for your phone.
Codex and NZO have been busy gnawing at the interweb to come up with a fetching new look for NZO’s spankingly fine Amiga Demo Site. It was a pretty nifty piece of webwork in the first place, now given that even sexier feel to it. Unfortunately, as with all lovely things - it comes with a health warning. Ok, not a health warning - a browser warning. Firefox is not its friend, so dive in with IE for some Amiga Demo goodness at its best.
This next one isn’t quite what you’d call Retro, unless you have the memory of a goldfish - but its fine enough to warrant a mention all the same. Its a canny remake of Lumines for all those ladies and gentlemen gagging to get their hands on experience of block wigging without suffering at the hands of Sony’s current level of idiocy. Yes, this is one download you can grab from Japan without fear of your order being blocked ;)
One for our errant ex newsposter Dev next, yes - its no less than Space Invaders 97, of which the author has this to say…”It’s a DOS game I made originally in 1997. It never worked well under windows due to timing code that Windows couldn’t run properly. I just recently modified the program to ignore the timing. So, it assumes your computer is fast enough (any computer today should be) by synchronizing the animation with the monitor’s refresh rate. It runs fine now; playing it makes me want to create a new version. Since it only supports a GUS for sound, it is unlikely anyone today will ever hear it. It includes a pre-made .PIF file that should be appropriate for Windows XP, and likely other versions of Windows, as well, but this has not been tested.”. Have funnage.
I’ve still got some mail tucked underneath my cat and some cracking news from the forum for those who don’t flick our orange buttons often. So, bare with me and I’ll throw some more out soon.
In the meantime, thanks for reading and don’t have nightmares.
