- I used to play a game on the Spectrum
- very often called ViKing Raiders! Its
- a very quality game origionally relea
- sed by FireBird. Now it has been put
- on the internet for ALL to download!!!
- I decided I would remake it so it wou
- ld be alot faster and maybe have some
- extras. However All I managed to do w
- as convert it into Arexx and make it
- run about 3 times faster. This I thou
- ght was good enough. So I decided to
- re-release it [seeing as it is now fre
- ely distributable] on a self booting
- Amiga floppy Disk. To do this I used t
- he skeleton of Amiga Workbench 3.1 and
- basically adjusted the Startup-Sequenc
- e so that it automatically loaded Viki
- ng Raiders. This meant I had a faster,
- newer version of it which was compatib
- le with all AGA Amiga's. Then I decide
- d to add a title screen to show everyo
- ne who actually converted and re-relea
- sed this excell ent War Sim! The title
- page you see before you is the title p
- age I created. I created using the grab
- screen function on PPaint. Then I added
- some cool effects and characters to mak
- e it a bit more 'Me' and also newer and
- funkier! So basically this is the title
- page to my new Game! I would have sent
- in the DMS file of the game but im sure
- that magazines cant be bothered with
- DMS files which are hard to extract and
- only run from a reboot. However if you
- want the new Viking Raiders, now called
- Viking Raiders SE [Special Edition] jus
- t email me on ginkmobile@geocities.com
- and Ill send it to you. Or of course if
- this cool Mag will allow it on their CD
- ill send it in and hopefully it'll get
- published! I have also created an ULTRA
- FAST version for 68030+ so ask for that
- too! Ok..I said it would be Brief and I
- t was! And now youre wondering "Why the
- heck has he made this text in a weird o
- blongy shape?" Well the answer to that
- is "Felt like it, HA! :)". Yes I though
- t "Mmmm how can I make this Doc differe
- nt, since I do docs with Ascii art all
- the time!".
- Oh Well thats about it Execept enjoy th
- e pic and send for the game! Youll love
- it, its a four player War sim in which
- the CPU can control the enemies! hehehe
