Modern Vintage Gamer Reworks Ghouls ‘n Ghosts Amiga Port

Modern Vintage Gamer Reworks Ghouls 'n Ghosts Amiga Port

Modern Vintage Gamer is working on an improved version of the 1989 Amiga port of Capcom's arcade classic Ghouls 'n Ghosts. The original port, developed by Software Creations and published by U.S. Gold, was considered a decent effort at the time but was criticised for not making use of the Amiga's custom chipset, a common shortcoming among ports of that era. The new project aims to address that shortfall and bring the conversion closer to taking advantage of the Amiga's hardware capabilities. via indieretronews.com

ShareKIT Lets Amiga Share Files With PC, Mac and Linux

Ján Zahurančík, creator of the AmiKit Workbench distribution, has released a new tool called ShareKIT. It allows direct data exchange between Amiga, Windows, Mac and Linux computers over a local network, without needing a cloud service, internet connection or USB stick. A connection is set up by launching ShareKIT on one machine and entering the displayed network address in a browser on the other, after which files can be transferred by drag and drop to multiple computers at once. The tool also supports clipboard sharing for text and file transfers of up to 4GB, though folder transfers are not supported. via amiga-news.de
