As recently there seems to be serious confusion about all the Ambient releases, we would like to take the chance to clear up a few things to make life for us and you more easy, so we compiled a small "Ambient Support" FAQ.

For more information about the Ambient project please visit the Official Site.

Version 2 of my Blue Space Ninja (short: BSN- II) Ambient Skin released.

BSN-II is an AmigaOS-Like Skin for MorphOS.

!!! DON'T COPY OVER THE OLD VERSION OF BLUE SPACE NINJA !!!

Changes:

<Quest for all Amiga fans on either the red or blue side!>

In a high stone tower on Elerion, far away from the world known to us, there have been recent events of which you shall be told. Agannazar, high archmage of the First Ones, waved his hand over the crystal ball, and the confusing veils of mystery that shrouded the view lifted. In the candle light, Agannazar suddenly understood things that had puzzled him before. Next to him stood Landon, an old sovereign from the island of Exevor, the northmost island of the old realms and look at him questioningly.

A new port is uploaded to GeekGadgets:
