THE FINAL FRONTIER
THE FINAL FRONTIER is a disk mag that's available on the Amiga, catering for
all fans of STAR TREK and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. The mag is packed
with articles, interviews, reviews, episode guides, art, music, animations,
and lots more!!
The advantages of a mag on disk are obvious. Imagine a STAR TREK mag with
Tobias Richter style animations! A magazine with enough space for the
equivalent of 5 novels worth of text! A magazine for the true TREKKER!
The Final Frontier is produced by the newly formed fan-publishing team called
INFINITE FRONTIERS, a group devoted to creating the best possible magazines,
either on disk, paper or on whatever medium we decide to work on. So far, our
group consists mainly of Star Trek fans and experts working on TFF and
although we don't claim to have the same presentation as "normal" disk mags,
if you're a Trek fan you won't find better Trek material on the Amiga.
Currently our team consists of the following guys:
Simon Plumbe ............ Editor, Producer, Writer, Photographer
Colin Gunn ......................... Co-Editor, Producer, Writer
Edwin Yau ..................................... Producer, Writer
Tobias Richter .................................. Artist, Writer
Gary Moffat ..................................... Artist, Writer
Alex Kerr ........................... Writer, Artist, Programmer
John Kitts ................................ Writer, Photographer
Vince Hirst ............................... Artist, Photographer
Jason Brown ............................................. Artist
Yes, that is THE Tobias Richter on our member list, so as you can imagine, we
have quite a strong team! As well as our regular team, we also have
"freelance" contributions from top talents including Bjørn Lynne.
However, no mag can be produced without contributors so I need your help! If
you want to send any articles, original TREK-related software, art or
anything else then write to me at the address at the end of this file for
full details. Don't send any contributions in yet though, as you will be
better off if you know the conditions for contributing first.
The disk is released as Freeware, freely distributable but only PD libraries
that do not overcharge will be allowed to spread it. All new material will
remain the copyright of THE FINAL FRONTIER (more details about this when you
write in).
Everyone who sends in articles etc. will receive a free copy of the issue
that their work appears in. Issue 1 is on two disks, Issue 2 occupies 3
disks and Issue 3 onwards uses 4 disks!!
You don't need to enclose an SAE when you write, but it would help!! However,
I will reply to EVERYONE who writes to me for details on how to contribute.
You can also order your own copy of the magazine direct from me. The prices
are:
Issue 1 (2 disks) - £3.00 - out now
Issue 2 (3 disks) - £4.00 - out now
Issue 3 (4 disks) - £5.00 - out now
Issue 4 will hopefully be available in December '92 on 4 disks for £5.00. If
you order it now, your copy will be sent as soon as it is released.
Please make sure that payment is in UK currency. All UK or BFPO orders
include postage etc. Outside the UK, please add £0.50 for each issue towards
postage and make all cheques etc. payable to "Simon Plumbe". (Cash preferred
for orders outside UK.)
As a special offer, you can buy the first three issues for just £10. For
orders from outside the UK, there is NO extra cost for postage on this offer.
To take advantage of this, you must mention AM/FM when you reply.
No profit is made on the sale of the magazine. All of the profit is put back
into the magazine to cover costs such as providing free issues for
contributors, prizes for competitions, adverts etc. Also, if enough money is
made, we will hire top artists/musicians to do exclusive work for the
magazine. However, feel free to copy it for your friends as it IS freeware.
