"Crossfire II (http://www.dreamworlds.de/indexE.html) is finished and will start selling at the ARC 2002. It should also be available via any Amiga dealer soon. A demo version will be available in a few days, but maybe not before the exposition.

Crossfire II is a 2D shooter. It features both a atmospheric single player campaign as well as freestyle multiplayer action. It works on classic Amigas (030, 16MB Ram, AGA), AmigaPPC (WarpOS) and Amithlon. MorphOS support is worked on ATM. CFII supports gfx boards (a special HiColor version), sound boards (via AHI), 4 player adapters and much more.
For more information, visit www.dreamworlds.de (http://www.dreamworlds.de/indexE.html) But beware, the site is outdated. We're working on a new site ATM."

This is very good news! Time to dig out old CrossFire(I)
to get back into shape. I have a pal right across the block
with whom I have played many (many, many) CrossFire
matches. Got to make sure I can still kick his butt.
CrossFire made people come visit me from all over to play
tournaments and deathmatches on my Amiga ( - and that
was not in my youth, mind you, but since the last several
years!) . And they all have pretty beefy PC:s at home.
The ability to play four people on one screen is a killer.
The controls were great and the gameplay of CF was
immense (even though there is only a multiplayer mode).
Only the graphics were kinda... weak.
(get it on Aminet by the way, I recommend it if you
hadn't noticed ;-) )
Now lets hope that CFII is even better. Sure looks it.
Looking forward to some features on their website.

This is the type of game that could sell like hot cakes on a PDA or as a portable game!!!
This along side PayBack will written for the DE would be the Amiga back in front on games (well, for portable devices anyway :))
People who write Amiga games, must really look at the DE now because PDA's are at the stage where they can play similar stuff to a GBA or something...

This is a good point, Rodney.

@Rodney
>...DE... games.....Amiga....
Have you seen the new Cellphone/PDA/GameBoy Nokia wants to make with SEGA ?
It has all it needs:
Big names that have real value (Nokia on phones SEGA on games).
It has the right target audience (teenagers instead of managers
who mostly buy CE-based PDAs).
It has companies who have a track-record of delievering.
It will have games that are superior to the GBS, something that can
hardly be said about any DE-game sofar.
