Worms: 30th Anniversary

Three decades. That’s how long it’s been since the world first heard the explosive “Incoming!” and witnessed the mayhem of our beloved Worms. But time hasn’t dulled the legend - it’s only made it hungrier for a new battle. To mark this epic milestone, none other than the legendary Andy Davidson is back, ready to unleash Worms Directors Cut onto the Amiga once more. But this time, he’s not doing it alone.

Version 1.5 of Malibu, the Hollywood plugin which can be used to show Scala scripts, has just been released. Version 1.5 contains several bug fixes so that it's now possible to run the Scala games Beyond a Steel Sky and Adventure 2 by Quantum Code Monk with it. This makes it possible to play those games on your Nextgen Amiga, on Windows, macOS, or on Linux. Furthermore, starting with version 1.5 Malibu is now also available in a version for macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon). Malibu 1.5 is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with version 2.0 of the SID plugin for Hollywood. Once this plugin is installed, Hollywood will "automagically" be able to play SID files just like any other audio file. Version 2.0 is a major update which now uses completely different SID core. Version 1.x of the SID plugin was based on the rather outdated TinySID core whereas version 2 now uses the state-of-the-art cRSID replayer written by Hermit (Mihaly Horvath) which features a much more accurate SID emulation that also supports the RSID format (Real SID). Additionally, version 2.0 comes with several other new features like the possibility to set the SID model to emulate (6581 or 8580) and several convenience enhancements for users of Hollywood 10.

On 9/9/99 the Amiga Future Webpage went online for the first time. That was exactly 25 years ago.

Initially intended as an information source for the print magazine, the homepage has grown to a huge size over the years.

The English and German issue 170 (September/October 2024) of our print magazine Amiga Future has been distributed today, and can also be ordered directly from our editorial office at Amiga Future, and from other Amiga dealers that stock it.
