Site-News:       Onsite and offsite links! As you can see we have redesigned the News page to give you a better overview of the increasing amount of services we offer. We hope you like it! As always we have collected a bunch of new links in our Webdir for you. Besides these we are proud to announce a new hosted site for you: EAGER (Every Amiga Game Ever Released), a comprehensive database of Amiga games created and maintained by our new team member John Burns. In future EAGER, now located at eager.back2roots.org, and BTTR will share infos and files, which both projects surely will benefit from. Thanks John! In cooperation with Janis Kracht from the IFDC FileGate Project we now have a partial (Amiga only) mirror of the FileGate archive online on our FTP. Filegate collects all files via Fidonet, so we are now connected to the Amiga binary output of FidoNet as well. Currently we mirror the Amiga File Distribution Network (ADS) and the Amiga section of GamesNet International as well as the FileGate info section. Thanks Janis! Webdir   - 78 new links Hosting-News   - 1 new site FTP-News   - 1 new mirror

The former CEO of Extase, Boris Mechow, enabled us to put their Amiga games online. Karawane der 7. Dynastie (German RPG on 4 disks) is even an Internet premiere! Projekt Prometheus is a tricky adventure with a text interface and expressive graphics.

Tool-News:       Show that you're productive! The first Tools license for this update comes from Datel Electronics, their most famous Amiga product was the Action Replay freezer cartridges. We can now legally offer you the ROM images of the Action Replay MKI - MKIII cartridges which you may use in a recent WinUAE, as well as Burstnibbler, the disk version of the famous copy software normally stored in the ROM. Sample Studio is the software which came with one of Datel's audio sampler hardware. Full usage is only possible with the actual hardware, but some functions work without it. Our second license was granted by Emile Tobenfeld (aka. Dr. T) who ran Dr. T's Music Software. We can present MIDI Recording Studio which should be used in conjunction with a MIDI device, such as a keyboard. Boom Box is one of these musical programs for folks who cannot read notes. You can easily mix your own tracks and can later listen to them with a bombastic looking stereo.

Two further channels in the Misc section cover the Da Capo mod collection by Danny Amor and the Monstro mod compilation freeCD by Eduardo Motta Buhrnheim.
