Miloslav Martinka ported Tetris-gtk 0.6.2 to Aros and uploaded his work to the archives for us to download.
Tetris-gtk is a tetris clone which was originally written for Linux with a GTK+ interface. In that regards it is a very simple re-implementation of the game. And it is even a poorly port, as the falling blocks can only be controlled by clicking on its respective buttons.
However, what is most interresting is the fact that this port is a very good testcase for the GTK-MUI-library that help developers port a GTK-interface to a native MUI/Zune interface. And as such the GTK-MUI-library shows that it is already doing a very good job. (except for the fact that keystrokes cannot be read properly yet, therefore Miloslav added additional buttons).

The Last Mission is a side-view arcade game without scrolling with a big dimension map e.g. the viewpoint moves from screen to screen. The remake of the game was done by Dmitry Smagin while the original was made by a company named Opera Soft.
In the game you control a tank-like robot which can be divided in two: you rotate a caterpillar and head-canyon, and the head part can fly off on its own. However, the head can only survive separately for a short amount of time, and your restart position is dictated by the location of the body, even if the head has moved forward through further screens.
