We reviewed the premiere issue of Atari User here and, while we found the magazine interesting, there were many design issues which, we felt, could do with improving. Those criticisms still stand and, really, it doesn’t take much effort to get an average looking ezine into a great looking ezine. With issue 2, the Atari User team looks at the Atari Coldfire Project, JAGFEST UK, ‘Joust Head to Head’, Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary, news, reviews and much more. The ezine can be downloaded in PDF format for a small fee and there is also an option to subscribe to 12 months.

Hi All,
OpenTyrian is a port of the DOS shoot-em-up Tyrian. Jason Emery generously
gave the OpenTyrian developers a copy of the Tyrian 2.1 source code,
which has since been ported from Turbo Pascal to C. The port uses SDL,
making it easily cross-platform.
See http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/ for details.
Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter.
Here is port on Caanoo of the previous Wiz version :
it's on my blog ...
Enjoy,
Zx.

Inks deal with local firm for wireless gaming device.
US connected console startup Zeebo has announced a deal with China Digital TV, which could see its technology sold in China.
Zeebo started life as a Qualcomm spin-off, making a console that would download games over 3G, and be sold in emerging markets.
So far, it has launched in Brazil and Mexico, but CEO John Rizzo tells VentureBeat that it has been working on a China deal for nearly a year.
"China is one of our largest opportunities and also the most complex because of regulations," says Rizzo.
Zeebo is apparently working with local Chinese developers to create games for the device, including Nebula Soft.
Zeebo isn't a mobile device, but it is relevant to Mobile Entertainment readers. Its 3G downloads and hardware features make it appealing for mobile games developers looking for new revenue streams in emerging markets - places where consoles like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (and their digital stores) have low penetration.
When Zeebo launched in Brazil, a number of mobile games publishers were on board.

That’s it… the controller and the video game system all in one. This is the standalone version of [Rossum's] RBox. We looked in on the prototype in June but that was using a bulky development board. You can see the CR1632 button battery, which powers the device for about four hours, sandwiched in between the joystick and the mainboard. Exiting the image on the right are cables used to connect mono-audio and video to a TV via RCA connectors. There’s no port for interchangeable cartridges which means that all game data must be programmed into the ARM Cortex M0 processors.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...y-land-remake/
The classic Hudson Soft puzzle game Binary Land, which was originally released on a handful of various formats in the mid 1980s (including the Famicom), has been remade for Windows. Developed by Sokurah, with graphics by Lobo and music by Spacefractal, the game tasks the player with reuniting two penguins, Gurin and Malon, at the end of each level. It won’t be that simple, though, because both penguins mirror each other’s movement, meaning the player is essentially controlling both penguins simultaneously. Also, there are spiders, birds and other creatures ready to make our penguins’ path more perilous. The game can be downloaded for free from the Tardis remakes website.

Sometimes a mod is more than just a mod: it's a manifesto. When Phawx over at BrainLazy decided to take an X-Acto knife to his Epic 4G's keypad, he knew what he was doing: both challenging Apple's place in the world of cellphone-based gaming and encouraging other manufacturers to step up to the plate. Although early on in the design process he mocked up some plastic controller pieces to replace the factory keypad altogether, by the time it came to try the thing out he realized that by simply pulling out the unused keys and making a few minor (very minor) cosmetic adjustments he could give his touchscreen handset a gamepad slider more eminently more playable than your Droid's Game Gripper -- and eminently less mythical than your PSP Phone.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...n-amstrad-cpc/
The Mojon Twins continue their Amstrad CPC conversion marathon with Sir Ababol, originally released on the ZX Spectrum back in July 2010. The player takes control of Sir Ababol, a young crusader from the 11th Century on a mission to track down the mysteries of wild ababol flowers. What are those red flowers, which, coincidentally, share the same name as Ababol? “Did it have to do with destiny? Since when the Alcoraz River flows into the Monegros’ Desert? Why St. Marta has a train station but not a tram line? How do I get to Jerusalem?” All those questions and more await the player in this typical wonderful and wacky Mojon Twins platform game.

TLWiki has released a full translation patch for the PC version of Remember11 -the age of infinity-, a visual novel developed by KID as part of the Infinity series. Remember11 is a science fiction and mystery thriller set in the near future.
The all-ages story of Remember11 has both a male and a female protagonist, and in contrast to the other Infinity games (Never7 and Ever17) it does not play out like a dating sim. Instead of several heroine routes, the game offers two perspectives on the same events.
Third-year psychology major Fuyukawa Kokoro, along with three others, is forced to take refuge in a mountain cabin after surviving a catastrophic plane crash in the middle of a snowstorm. In the cabin the group discovers a newspaper detailing the death of all passengers save one – with the newspaper dated six months in the future.
In a seemingly separated situation, quantum physics grad student Yukidoh Satoru is equally isolated by a snowstorm and experiences a life-threatening situation of his own. Someone, possibly even one of his three companions, is trying to have him killed. He and Kokoro find out that their consciousnesses have somehow become linked together, essentially causing control over their bodies to be swapped back and forth between them.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...-october-1990/
‘Back in Time’ is my monthly feature at Out-of-Print Archive where I look back at the classic video gaming magazines twenty years ago this month. This month it’s October 1990 when three brand new magazines were launched (Raze, Mean Machines and Commodore Format), the Commodore C64GS launched, Ivan ‘Iron Man’ Stewart’s Super Off Road raced all over the major gaming formats, Wonderland proved a wonderful hit… and much more.
As usual, to accompany the main feature, four articles have been chosen from four of the magazines covered. This includes Commodore Format’s feature on the C64GS, Amstrad Computer User’s feature on the new range of Amstrad Plus machines, CU Amiga’s review of Wonderland on the Amiga and The One’s review of Powermonger on the Amiga.

The Mojon Twins seem to be going through an Amstrad CPC conversion phase, what with the recent Speccy game Cheril of the Bosque being converted, and now CPC gamers have Lala Prologue in Mode 1 colour glory. The game has the player taking control of Lala with the task of retrieving all the Great Witch Academy’s magical filters and chemicals, which have been randomly scattered across the surroundings of the academy. So it’s a platform game in the classic sense: search the screens, progress by gaining access to new screens and, of course, avoid the nasties. The game disk and tape images can be downloaded for free from the Mojon Twins’ webpage.
