12.11.2021 - 'Tetris 2K21' - an improved version of Tetris for C16/Plus/4 available
'Tetris 2K21' a game with NES Tetris rules is an improved version of a previous 'Tetris' conversion for C16/Plus/4 from 1990. In the original the in-game music never turns the TED channels off, which causes the lead to get stuck, and play a very long, very high, frankly ear-hurting note during the "digi only" part of the music. Once that got fixed, even more fixes got applied... and this project just "ran away" and in the end nearly the whole game code was renewed.

12.11.2021 - Video shows proof of concept for 'Double Dragon' ond Amiga using Scorpion Engine
After seeing many videos online, especially a recent Street Fighter 2 demo by Neeso Games (who are also working on a version of Jackal), it got developer Mark Day thinking that maybe he could speed up his development of 'Double Dragon' by bringing the existing assets into the Scorpion Engine and do some tests.
