I'm pleased to announce that the new games section has now launched on the site.
This section contains an A-Z directory of Amiga games and each game page includes (where available) screenshots from the game, detailed information about the game, cheat codes and tips, any supporting media such as audio clips and videos, downloads, and soon to be added will be games manuals.
And on top of all this all members can post their own reviews for any game in the directory and the best reviews will be promoted to the editors review for that game and your score will become the official site score for that game.
The Workbench alternative Scalos has been released in the beta version 41.4 for AmigaOS/68K and MorphOS/PPC.
There are some new features
like further parameter options for menu CLI commands, an additional and
faster thumbnail plugin for JPEG pictures as well as immediate window
updates with pictogram movements.
What is Scalos?
"First of all, Scalos is NOT a replacement OS, although the name
suggests otherwise. It is a desktop replacement for the Amiga. It is used instead of Workbench or Directory Opus Magellan.
The original Workbench gets older every day and is being left behind by
other desktop systems. Scalos's original author, Stefan Sommerfeld,
decided that there had to be something new, and so Scalos was born.
Scalos's goal is to integrate a lot of additional functionality and an
enhanced look without losing any of the look-and-feel we all love about
the real Workbench. Yes, Scalos is like Directory Opus Magellan, but
comparing these two isn't really fair. Scalos provides much better
emulation of the real Workbench ("the Workbench experience"), and you
won't notice any difference at first appearance. Up to now Directory Opus Magellan just provides more functions."
