| "Back to the Roots", 5th Anniversary update - yeah!
Ladies and gentlemen, it's nice that you visited us to celebrate our 5th birthday together with us. On June 30th this project was born.
At first, BTTR consisted of only one html page, about 10 games which rotated weekly and a couple of demos and pictures. That was the beginning. A lot has changed in the meantine. BTTR grew bigger and bigger. Today nearly 100 software companies and individual programmers are supporting us to bring you more legal stuff and the team grew to an impressive collection of enthusiasts. Sections were added or expanded, and together with the mirrors we store we can now offer you more than 100GB of data in >300.000 files, a database with more than 26.000 entries and an uncountable amount of html pages :)
Here more goodies for this update:
ADF+HD-Games:
Paul Lombardi, former CEO of Innerprise Software and Discovery Software gave us permission for his Amiga games. Blast the evil away in Battle Squadron and Hybris! Both games are available in ADF and HD format! Also the jump and shoot game The Plague and the legendary Breakout game Arkanoid can now be downloaded.
Mega Typhoon is another excellent shoot'em up. Released in 1996, it came out at a time, when the Amiga lost much of its fame. It didn't get much attention, which is a shame for such an excellent game.
Also, this update is filled up with great games like Anstoss (soccer manager), Over the Net (beach volleyball), Marvin's Marvellous Adventures (jump'n run), Eliminator (action), a puzzle game called Think Cross which comes from the developers of Anno 1503!
We're also proud to present you two small games from the author of Taran im Abenteuerland. Plix and Symbolrechnen are fascinating games for your brain and are released here on "Back to the Roots" for the first time! Tearaway Thomas, the missing game from our last update, is online now, too.
CD-Games:
Finally we have added 12 new CD32-games. Whale's Voyage, Sub War 2050, Oldtimer, Emerald Mines, Disposable Hero and many more are waiting for your enjoyment!
Demos:
In our PC Demos section, we present you some of the greatest releases of the last year. Probably the most stunning release is Raw Confessions, a demo full of horrible creatures, which runs only on Geforce 3 or better gfx cards. Also the second part of Haujobb's great demonstration Liquid...Wen? is made for such modern 3D-cards, only. Overall, you can download 30 entries and lots of more in the other demo sections.
Cover-Scans:
225 new cover scans of Amiga game boxes have been added. If you want to know how the front and back side of games like After Burner, Chaos Engine or Apidya looked like, go ahead to this section.
Scene-Pics:
Besides these we updated our Scene-Pics section with 51 new pictures from our finally connected partner site and team member stalkingwolf.de.
Modules:
The music section was filled with tunes from Battle Squadron, Hybris, Winter Olympiad 88, Zone Warrior and many others. Very interesting could also be a new Audio-CD called Immortal 2. This album is filled with completely new arranged version of famous Amiga game music. Chris Hülsbeck, Barry Leitch, Allister Brimble, Tim Wright and many other famous musicians have worked on that CD. Read our detailed Immortal 2 review!
Of course we haven't forgot the people, who love music from the demoscene. 60 new titles plus 20 new chip-songs have been uploaded. Many of them were used in great demos. Big thanks to "Independent" for supporting us with many files.
More:
Except from three new reviews we also included the Syntex Animator for you.
Don't forget to browse through our massive lists. Hundreds of new entries were added in each section and lots of updated information awaits you!
That's it for this update. We wish the best to all of you and please enjoy everything!
