It's in there.  Listed as CD-TV.  Only thing I can see they forgot is the 1500, although we never got them in the states.

Since 1995 a group of valiant programmers started AROS Project, which aimed at creating a multiplatform OS with certain charateristics.
Hey bloodline, seems you did a great job lobbying by them! :-)

And guess what's the kid playing? TURRICAN!
A wise choice  :-D

But wasn't Turrican made in 1990? How could the photo shoot be made in 1988?  :-?

And the best thing: if you spot something lacking or faulty, just edit it yourself!

No, Turrican was released in 1990, so that photo caption is incorrect. Check it here, a screenshot from the game menu:

And don't forget that there's an Amiga Wiki here (http://yourdreamnet.co.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl), and I think there's a MorphOS Wiki somewhere :-D
