- Still <link=g32.scr>Alive!</l>
- (review of the latest issue of Alive! mag)
- written by Mr Byte / T.F.T.E.

- What is this? 642 kilobytes of text plus 736 kB of pictures and 260 kB of
- music? It's a computer program and it's alive! We were waiting for a while for
- the third issue of Alive! magazine but it was worth it. Since there is not too
- many :) zines for the good, old ST, every new issue is a blessing. Atari
- sceners around the world wait impatiently for hot news from their scene. One
- could say: "Hey, we have the Internet, net of the nets, so we have access to
- billions of articles!". Yes, we have the Internet, but we still need someone to
- "sift" this unimaginable amount of information. Take the "Inside the Scene" for
- example, where you can read that Escape are going to release a new demo next
- year. You won't find this news on the Net, I promise. It's just the matter of
- these... you know... connections ;)
-
- Shell coded mainly by earx/fun works smoothly and runs even under STeem (try to
- rename "shell.bin" to "shell.prg", doublelick on it, done!). Music by Tao and
- DmaSc won't hurt your ears, in fact they are pretty cool and Tao's piece is my
- favourite :) I have seen some PC mags and - believe me - engine that drives
- Alive! may be easily compared with them. Good work guys, it's hard to believe
- that this code derives from the antique DBA Magazine...
-
- The essence of every diskmag are of course the articles. Text that may be found
- in Alive! 3 are - as usual - high quality products. I believe that so called
- "atypical platforms" have much more highly devoted users and they're..... older
- than pc-sceners :) Just kidding. I was trying to say that Atarists are more
- experienced users, so they have much more interesting and inspiring things to
- say. Or something like that :)
-
- Anyway, I really enjoyed reading the third issue, enjoyed feeling that the
- Atari scene is still alive. And kicking.
