GOOGLE EMULATES AMIGA COMPUTER IN
CHROME BROWSER
*************************************
News from CNET
Google's Portable Native Client technology gives a new Web-based lease on
life for an old operating system and the games it could run. The Amiga 500 lives again -- in Google's browser. Google developer Christian Stefansen
on Thursday resurrected a version of the venerable computer system from the 1980s in the form of a Web app that runs in Chrome. 40-year-olds who want
to relive their childhoods or younger people who want to see just how hard their elders had it can visit the Amiga 500 emulator for Chrome online,
boot the machine, and play some games.

PUTTY SQUAD TO BE RELEASED ON AMIGA
*************************************
www.facebook.com/System3Games
System 3 Facebook,
Dear Amiga fans of Putty Squad
Further to our previous statement about Putty Squad for the Amiga, we're pleased to bring you an update on where we are with the project.
We have provided the source code and mastering files to members of the
Amiga community who are hard at work on them.
The objective is to produce an ADF file which will be available to download from our website this side of Christmas to allow the game to be played on
the Amiga 1200 or on Amiga emulators. We intend to allow the game to be written to a floppy disk so that people who still have a traditional old
Amiga with floppy disk will also be able to enjoy the game.
We are doing everything that we can to make this happen but, as you can appreciate, it is not entirely in our control how quickly this is achieved; However, please be assured that our objective is to give the game back to
the Amiga community, for free, as soon as possible.
Sincerely
John Twiddy
System 3
