Another official digital release of Raze has been archived over at Out-of-Print Archive, courtesy of Roger Kean (the former co-founder of Newsfield Publications who granted us permission to host his back catalogue of magazines), Mort (who scanned the magazine) and triverse (who edited this release). Raze issue 4 was originally released in February 1991 when the Amiga, Atari ST and PC reigned supreme across the UK, while the 16-bit consoles were beginning to make inroads on gamers’ attitudes towards gaming. These Raze releases capture this UK transition from computers to consoles perfectly.
As usual, the magazine contents, editorial details and links to online articles taken from the issue can be found at the Raze issue 4 page at Out-of-Print Archive. There you will also find a link to the full download of the issue itself. The four accompanying online review articles chosen from this issue include Hard Drivin’ 2 (Amiga, Atari ST), Ishido (Amiga), 4-D Sports Driving (PC) and Ninja Remix (Atari ST).

There was a Die Hard game on the NES, and the arcade-style games for the Saturn/PSX. Even a game on the PC. But most of them sucked hard-style.
But wait, did you know there was a Japanese Die-Hard game released for the PC Engine? Well, now you do!
Spinner 8 managed to hack it, and I translated the script. The process took about two weeks or so.
The game itself is actually quite good. It reminds me of Metal Gear, but harder. The game starts in a park, then a swamp, but then you get to the actual Nakatomi Building. There is very little script in the game, but a bunch of random comments that McClane makes keeps the game somewhat light-hearted.
I hope you’ll take the time to enjoy it!

News via Romhacking.net
A brand new Final Fantasy VI gameplay modification has been released, complete with sweeping changes across the board:
-Much harder enemies
-New damage curves, HP curves, MP curves, and XP curves.
-Vast changes to monster AI, skills, and hero skills such as spells, espers, Lores, Swdtech, Blitzes, Dances, Tools, and Rages.
-Entirely new items, from the slightly different to the game-changing and super-powerful
-New spell animations
-Hero stats have been changed, with a focus to make each hero a competitive choice
-Lastly, the Colloseum has been completely redone, with every item yielding a viable foe and progressing to better items.
Even more surprising is the supporting documentation. A bestiary, a table of the new XP, HP, and MP curves, and even the excel file used to make the game (with way more information than anyone would care to read) is included.
If you love Final Fantasy VI, and have yearned for the challenging and complex game it should have been, be sure to give this new mod a look!

When we think about the history of the Chinese videogame industry, all too often visions of pirated NES games come to mind. If you dig a little deeper, however, you’ll find a ton of gems the English-speaking world missed out on. Among these were Dynasty International’s “Tian Di Jie” series, for Windows. Why these were never picked up by a Western publisher boggles the mind, but hey, that’s where the fan translation community comes in!
Thanks to a veritable army of source language fans – who have contributed everything from utility programming to organizational skill to touched-up equipment art – a translation project for the second game in the Tian Di Jie series has thrived over the past year. The Verve Fanworks community still needs a ton of help to push this one through, including:- Traditional Chinese-to-English text translation help. The multi-pass system has worked well for us so far, so we’re keeping an eye out both for people who have fun roughly translating tons and tons of dialogue, as well as those who only have time to provide revisions and second opinions.
- Pixel art for small elemental and equipment icons.
Join the awesome team behind this mammoth project, or just stop by and say hello, at our forum link at the bottom of this news post. We’ll leave you with some extra pics and a demo of the first three translated chapters of the game, roughly the first hour of gameplay.
Don’t hesitate to leave feedback, either here at the RH.net news thread or in the project’s “General Discussion” board at Verve Fanworks!

As the MSXDev10 game making competition edges closer to its deadline, Zombie Near makes it to the list of games ready to battle it out for the awards. Developed by Óscar Toledo Gutiérrez, Zombie Near is an action filled 1 or 2 player MSX shooter as the player(s) shoots their way out of a zombie infested laboratory.

Hi guys,
primetime is coming near!
I am preparing the launch of the "Ares mediaCENTER". This thing is inspired by the good old Amiga CDTV from commodore.
The system is driven by an open-source OS called AROS. AROS is a reimplementation of Amiga OS 3.1 for platforms like i386, x64, PPC, ARM and more. It is a lightweight multitasking OS which boots in under 7sec into a full desktop.
Whatever.. we finished the worlds first Media Center Application for AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS called AMC (Amiga/AROS/ANY media center)
To get some funding for AROS is started in 2009 with selling AROS compatible/optimized PC's called AresOne.
The Ares mediaCENTER is the sum of AresOne + AMC.
What can you expect from this?
The Ares mediaCENTER is primary aimed to audio- and videophiles and Retro gamers. Lets say people with a age about 30+
It comes with AMC as frontend which can be controlled via a Remote. The package includes one USB-Jopyad and a collectors Edition of the Competition Pro Joystick.
AMC plays AudioCD's, DVD's, VideoCD's and nearly all video formats.
AMC can also use an external "mplayer"- binary for playback.
AMC has officially granted support for the "tmdb" database to fetch movie informations.
AMC allow watching and recording of Web-TV and Radiostreams.
AMC has an open PlugIN-system. YOU the community can create own PlugINS to enhance AMC's capabilities. And AROS the open-source OS is a very nice playground for Coders! If you are interested in coding for it, please contact us or visit www.aros-exec.org (the most known AROS forum)
Until the release we will havve finished a PlugIN called "EMULA" which is an Emulator and Games launcher. Add own emulators and Games, browse through your library and enjoy your favorite blast from the past ; )
What is the intention?
Creation of an open gaming system like Pandora, but this time you can really easy build your own System based on HTPC's. See the Ares MediaCENTER as reference-system. It's all about funding and gain interest in AROS. FUN.
Visit the WIP page www.aresmediacenter.de about some details.
Visit www.aros-exec.org to join the AROS community
Visit www.aros-broadway.de for information and free download of my own distribution calles "Braodway" This can be run in virtualbox or as liveCD.
