New German Issue 9/25 of the cult magazine ASM "Aktueller Software Markt" Now Available

The legendary German computer and games magazine ASM - Aktueller Software Markt is back with a new issue. What made history in the 1980s and 1990s as the first German-language multi-format games magazine lives on today – with a mix of retro topics, current game reviews, and exclusive interviews.

The new issue once again spans the spectrum from "re-testing" classics to current titles for all popular and exotic systems of the time. Returning are the familiar sections such as "Action Games" and "Adventure Corner," as well as new sections such as "Book Corner" and "In Focus," which offer previews of upcoming hits. It also features interviews with contemporary witnesses such as Stefan Piasecki, programmers such as Andreas Mettler, and cult figures such as Zak McKracken. This time, the hardware retro section focuses on the Game Boy, while in the chess section, Psion Chess ST competes against the legendary Amiga chess game Battle Chess, and in the horror cabinet, a Stone Age creation lurks.

The new issue, featuring 100 pages, includes 70 game reviews in the original, chaotic ASM layout. Anyone looking for a truly retro experience can order the magazine for the usual price of €8 from:

Thanks!!  All that I needed was to update the locale.No need to update clock when it pulls from the web.

I used a Microway FlickerFixer AGA 2000.  The “AGA” designation had nothing to do with AGA graphics that appeared in later Amiga machines.  This flicker fixer card allowed me use a VGA monitor as my main screen.

I need some help with the joystick setup. When using an USB-mouse (for mouse) and two joysticks in the D9-ports of the A1200NG, how does the config look like? My joysticks (Comp Pro) are sometimes not responding etc. so I guess my config isn't correct. Screenshot would help me out. Thanks in advance.

Fan-Made Prequel to Turrican II – Set Entirely Inside the Intro Ship




Hi everyone!
I’m working on a personal project: a fan-made game that serves as a direct prequel to Turrican II.

The core idea is to show what actually happens during the intro of the original Amiga game—the attack on the Freedom Forces’ ship and the fall of the crew. My game will end exactly where Turrican II begins, so players will realize in the final scene that the first level of the classic game starts right after the events they just experienced.

The entire adventure takes place inside the large spaceship seen in the intro. I’m imagining it as a massive structure with multiple decks and sectors, giving me plenty of room to design varied and coherent levels.
Each area will have its own atmosphere, hazards, and narrative beats, gradually building up to the ship’s total collapse.

Project Goal
The goal is to show the fall of the ship from the inside, following the protagonist as he fights through the invasion and tries to survive. The ending will connect directly to the opening of Turrican II, creating a narrative bridge that the original game never showed.
