Platform game: Level 2 of the demo version of "Silhouette Threat" for AGA-Amigas
At the end of January, we introduced the platform game project "Silhouette Threat" for AGA-Amigas in detail. A few weeks later, a demo version with the first level was released (YouTube video). Now the developer 'lionagony', supported by his daughter who contributed graphics, has released the second level which, unlike the first, scrolls automatically (YouTube video). It also offers simulated parallax scrolling on 6 layers. The author is looking forward to constructive criticism in the comments. (dr)

TankX: Tank game returns after 30 years with new single-player mode
About 30 years ago, the tank game Tankkk was released, in which each k in the name stood for the number of tanks in the game. Until now, Tankkk could only be played with up to six players on one computer. Now, after almost three decades, developer K-P Koljonen has re-released the game, which has been renamed TankX. In the new version 1.1, computer-controlled tanks have been added so that TankX can now also be played solo against the Amiga.

The player can use processor-controlled tanks in battle, include a CPU teammate, play a human vs CPU team death match or have all tanks controlled by the CPU. There are three different CPU tank drivers to choose from:
  • Scary: medium range radar, comes towards the opponent and shoots
  • Wary: medium range radar, shoots once and then flees
  • Lazy: long range radar, doesn't move, but shoots from a distance
In addition to the single-player mode, the new version also includes revisions to the menu, a pause mode, newly created and revised battlefields and new music tracks.

TankX runs on any Amiga with at least Kickstart 1.2, OCS, 68000 and 1 MB RAM. The LhA archive includes the 68k version and an ADF version for emulators and AmigaOS 3.2.

Download: TankX (1.5 MB) (nba)

Demo: "V4driver" 1.06 for Apollo Vampire V4
In mid-January, Sami Vehmaa released "V4driver", his second demo after 30 years, which he wrote exclusively for the Apollo Vampire V4 (amiga-news.de reported). With this update to version 1.06, he has made some fine adjustments such as the parallax timing. The demo should now also run at 50 FPS (hold down the space bar to display FPS). (dr)
