Remember Mangamania 2004 published some weeks ago? The Byte of BSW and TCE strikes back, so here comes the 2005 issue!
The demo features a slideshow with 43 pictures on it and a protracker tune is played while they are displayed. Paradize coded the coldfading and the linkfiler was written by our own member Mug UK (yeah!). Like the previous issue, that is worthwhile to grab!

Download directly Mangamania 2005 or feel free to visit TCE webpage.

With the help of some friends, we managed to find most of the games released by Harald Breitmaier and Heinz Munter between 1987 and 1992. We obtained then the rights to upload on the site all the games that they created under the labels of Motelsoft and Softwave. Both editors released sharewares and freewares mainly in german language. One of the games was translated in english by Grazey of PHF himself. Fans of RPG will probably appreciate most of the titles, but the duet also made some mind games.

Also please note we haven't uploaded Dark Stone Ritual since it contains damaged graphics. We are working on a fixed version at the moment. Of course, whenever you'd own a missing title, feel free to get in touch with [email=pacidemo@planet-d.net]us[/email] (every contributor is credited in the box of download).
Thanks to everyone who helped us: Purpleeagle01, Shredder, Marcer, Heinz Munter, Thothy and Lotek Style. Greetings to you, guys!

Ten years after the first release he coded, Leonard of Oxygene is just coming to publish the source code of the famous ST-Sound. ST Sound is a sound emulator for Windows, MS-Dos, Linux and Be-OS. The program can also emulate Amiga FC musics, CPC tunes, etc.
After a clean up, a full package is so available on Leonard website. It contains all descriptions and also the full code to play .YM files on the PC. So everyone can now use it in his own application/demo/game
Looks like ST-Sound won't be updated by Leonard anymore, unless someone else brings the the project back (we recommend actually to use WinJam to replay ST musics in high quality).

Feel free to grab the ST-Sound on the Leonard website.

According to Tas (ex-member of FOFT), a CD full of remixed tracks is still on the run. A new sample coming from the famous Goldrunner 2 game is also available. It sounds better than the previous track Odyssey remix (sorry dudes, but the slap bass guitar would roughcast Marcus Miller's hair). The estimated release date may be on March, 15th 2005.
The CD will feature following remixed musics:

1] Exolon (Dave Rogers)
2] Zombie (David Whittaker)
3] Enchanted Lands (Jochen hippel)
4] Lethal Excess (jochen hippel)
5] LED Storm (Tim Follin)
6] Jupiter Probe (Rob Hubbard)
7] Custodian (David Whittaker)
8] DBA6 (Scavenger)
9] Odyssey (Scavenger)
10] Period in 3D (Scavenger)
11] Goldrunner 2 (David Whittaker)
12] Dragon flight city 1 (Jochen Hippel)
13] Foundations waste (Wally Beben)
14] Quick and Silva (Chris Huelsbeck)
15] - Bonus Track - Maniax

Interesting list, indeed! For more information about the project and some samples, please visit the [url="http://www.mbdrecords.com/index.php?page_nr_83"]MBD Records site[/url].

The crew Paradize has released today a new game named Penta. It's a kind of puzzle game and requires a logical brain. It may look a bit difficult, but it's very funny to play.
Simmon Sunnyboy made all the code, while STSurvivor worked on the graphics and 505 composed the different tunes. The results is brilliant: efficient gameplay, good designs and involving music.
The game is STE enhanced, but also works on any STFM or Falcon computer. Also a joystick or a jagpad can be used, instead of the keyboard.

Enough to write! Time to visit the Paradize website to get the filed version. Or go on the Penta page of the site to download the MSA version.
