  5. ARC4NERD Update 1.1 released

    APC&TCP

     

    To be precise, the update has actually been online since May 23rd, and all copies we have shipped already include this update.

    Changes:

    – Fixed a bug where the ball would disappear if it went out of bounds and was shot at the exact same moment.
    – Fixed a bug that previously limited players to entering their name into the high score list only once.
    – Fixed a bug that prevented high score entries after defeating the final boss—entries are now working again.
    – The final boss can now be fought any number of times, rather than just once.
    – After the game ends, the interface now indicates whether a high score entry is possible. Previously, players were taken directly back to the start menu. The game now distinguishes between cases where too few points were earned and cases where the difficulty level was changed. High scores remain possible only in «Machine Mode.»
    – Fixed a bug affecting the Double Bonus in certain levels.
    – On the start screen, the selected game mode is now correctly reset following a restart.
    – Fixed minor typos.
    – Slightly adjusted ball behavior.

    How do I get the update?

    – If you purchased ARC4NERD directly from APC&TCP: Log in at https://www.amigashop.org and simply re-download the game archive.
    – If you purchased ARC4NERD from a retailer: Send us a photo of your copy along with your account username for https://www.amigashop.org, and we will unlock the update for you in the shop.

    This also applies, of course, to the Special Edition that was available exclusively via the ARC.

  6. APC&TCP: Boxed and Digital Versions of ARC4NERD Released

    APC&TCP

    ARC4NERD – an arcade classic with «Ruhrpott»-charm from HooGames2017 – has been released by APC&TCP, following in the footsteps of Dr. Dangerous and Phantom Leap, as a boxed edition and digital download.

    Please do not confuse this with the special edition of ARC4NERD. This Special-Edition was limited and only available at the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention, and is now sold out.

    To coincide with the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention 4, HooGames2017 is releasing the game: a classic arcade game in the Arkanoid style with a healthy dose of Ruhr area charm and humor.

    In an industrial setting typical of the Ruhr area, the player’s task, using either a mouse or joystick, is to shoot down all the tiles installed in the level with the help of the boing ball and a movable reflector. Obstacles and drone-copters complicate matters, but luckily, randomly falling 3.5″ floppy disks are available. These can be collected and grant the player special abilities – such as a gun or a triple-boing ball. Bumpers installed in the levels, similar to a pinball machine, provide additional high scores. Each of the 55+ levels is dedicated to a supporter of the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention, promising hours of fun. And at the end, you even have to face the final boss – something you shouldn’t miss at any ARC! 😉
    The physical edition of ARC4NERD comes in a high-quality collector’s box with great extras. In addition to the game on floppy disk, it includes a rulebook, a sticker sheet with in-game artwork, and a pixel-art poster and postcard of the ARC venue.

    Minimum system requirements:

    • Commodore Amiga 500 or higher
    • Kickstart 1.3 or higher
    • 1 MB RAM
    • 3.5″ Floppy Drive

    About HooGames2017 and Tino Menzner

    Gerd Surey (HooGames2017) and Tino Menzer (Amiga Ruhrpott Convention) are typical Ruhr area natives – both «born on coal.» Chance brought them together: Tino actually wanted to write an article about the game Dr. Dangerous, which Gerd had just released for the Amiga, and contacted him about it.

    They hit it off immediately and exchanged ideas extensively. What started as an interview project initially led to a collaboration on Phantom Leap. Since creative collaboration often bears fruit, the idea eventually arose to develop their own game for the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention – the birth of ARC4NERD.

    About APC&TCP

    APC&TCP has been active as a publisher on the Amiga for over 34 years.

  11. APC&TCP & Amiga Future: Birthday Holiday

    APC&TCP

    We are on holiday from 6th May to 23th May inclusive.

    Of course, we cannot process any orders during this time. This also applies in part to downloads.

    As soon as we are back, we will of course do our best to ship all orders as soon as possible. But it will certainly take a few days until we have processed the waiting list.

    Also because we have the ARC4NERD release in the middle of our vacation while we’re away.

    Also the Amiga Future webpage, news, Facebook & Co will not be updated during this time.

    Of course, we cannot be reached by phone, email, messenger etc. during this time either. In urgent cases we can only be reached via Whatsapp.

    And today – May 1st, 2026 – APC&TCP turns 34 years old. 🙂
