* The dig spell now has the side effect of spraying the excavated rock shards, damaging those around you.
* Create Pit spell is now 10 MP rather than 15.
* Blizzards fill the air with sleet and snow, not sleet and slow. Though the latter does describe their special effect nicely.
* New spell: Sandstorm
* If a god decides to flamestrike you, you now get a few turns warning to prepare yourself.
* Monsters properly check safety of squares before stepping on them.
* If trapped inside a wall without Phase or Breathess, you will suffocate. (Strange Child, Julian Agloro)

Mastercoder Alekmaul comes up with yet another remake: Rick Dangerous II. A first video has been released as teaser. The game code is based on Foxy‘s Rick Dangerous II disassembly from the commercial Atari ST version.

Alekmaul seems to slowly prepare for a public release of his Cannon Fodder Remake for Nintendo DS. An own subpage (in French language) has been created, holding a few more brandnew screenshots.

atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known Russian block game.

Release notes:

Hi all, apparently the score was all wacked out in two-player mode when player two got a line or more. I fixed that. Tell me if you run into any bugs in this version, especially the two player mode.
