Dear Sir or Madam, dear friends of the intensive and ludicrous role-play game,

Once again, our Amgia-version of received a new update. Basically we added the following new features:

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Widescreen support for the Amiga</span>

If you are the lucky owner of an Amiga-Widescreen you are now able to build your screen mode by yourself and utilise it in ToT. You can find a list of screenshots including wide screen support here:

Tuandria, the desert of Elerion
Furthermore we implemented a whole new landscape by adding 40 new map elements. The Desert of Tuandria will complete the game which will remain interesting.

Fixed and new module player, thanks to Chris Hodges

Chris Hodges kindly redid the module player for us and added the support for MOS- and OS4 systems. There always have been playing problems. Thank you very much.

To celebrate the 1000th article of the magazine Obligement, Carl Sassenrath returns through this long interview on its origins at Amiga Inc. in the 1980's (Manager of AmigaOS and Amiga CDTV system development, among others), the bankruptcy of Commodore, its passages at Apple Computer and Viscorp, Amiga NG, or on its new revolutionary language REBOL. A classic name in the Silicon Valley!

Note : The version in French is here.

The OpenTTD Team released an update for OpenTTD 0.5 branch which fixes many known bugs and adds a few new features. You can download it with BitTorrent directly from http://torrent.openttd.org/ (very fast).

Futher we resolved the problems we had with current 0.6 branch, so if no new problems will appear then the future of OpenTTD on MorphOS is secured for now. Thanks to all OpenTTD users who commented in the last thread here on morphzone.org (http://www.morphzone.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1348).

Read the full story directly on http://www.openttd.org/ (you also find slower HTTP sourceforge.net download of the 0.5.1 release there... in case you have trouble with the BitTorrent download).

Recently a new patch for Desert Racing has been put online.

The game should run faster now and we hope that different problems could be eliminated.

The 3rd patch for the demo of Desert Racing can be downloaded directly from the support page.

The patch for the full version is only available directly via email (because of personalization) from Andreas@apc-tcp.de .

The number one alternative computer event in west of Sweden - PUSH - will be held this year in June. The doors will open Friday 15th June at 20:00 (8 PM) and we go on until Sunday 17th at 15:00 (3 PM). The party is open to everyone running alternative operating systems. The PUSH building is a Windows Free Zone. The news for this year is that we lower the entrance fee, instead of going with the inflation. The new fee is 140 SEK for pre-registered attendees and 240 SEK if you show up unregistered. We will be at the same place as previous years - at Wartag?rden in Gothenburg. More information and driving directions are available on the PUSH website.

If you are interested in visiting PUSH we would like you to pre-register at the PUSH website. The registration is not binding at all. If you don't come we won't charge you a single ?re. It is just to make it a little easier for us to know how many visitors we must prepare for.

More information will follow closer to the event, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the forum or drop us a mail/PM.

See you there!

Some time ago we rereleased the German Amiga Guru Book. We have promised to care for a reprint of the English Amiga Guru Book aswell.

Recently we've been fully occupied with various other projects (amongst others the English version of the Amiga Future) and couldn't take care of the Guru Book.

Now we have more time and want to work more intensely on this project.

Because of that we ask all users who are interested in a reprint of the Amiga Guru Book to drop an email to andreas@apc-tcp.de using the subject "Guru Book".

This is not a preorder! We only want to check if there are enough interested people for a reprint!
We are not able to tell a price nor release date!

The German magazine Amiga Future is taking over the famous English magazine Total Amiga from issue 27.

In a very close cooperation with Robert Williams, and the Total Amiga Team, we have realized a concept to guarantee the future of an English magazine for a very long time.
