- CREATIVE PPL NEED YOUR HELP
- GIVE A HAND BEFORE IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
- by.. Grey / Mystic Bytes
- --------------------------------------------------- -- ------ ---- ---- -- ----
-
- As promised in the previous issue, this article is gonna be the steady element
- of each release. The general idea is to support Atarians who keep our scene
- alive e.g. demo-coders, game-creators, disk-mag editors etc.

- GROWLING STUDIO
- project by Sqward / Mystic Bytes
- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
-
- Sqward is going to code the new outstanding tracker for Atari systems! It could
- be something like "FastTracker" for Atari machines. Features? Working as a GEM
- application, including the possibility to write your own plugins (e.g. drivers
- for Atari computers with various sound-cards), 32chn or more (depends if you
- own any turbo-cards), finally GOOD *.XM replayer (twice as good as the Graoumf
- one) which doesn't exist atm. If Sqward decides to make this a reality it's
- gonna be a SHAREWARE product. I think it could be REALLY worth it to register!
- Sqward says it could easily beat Fastracker on the PC! More features, superb
- interface, correct XM replayer, possibility to create *.XM tracks on Atari etc.
-
- Don't waste this chance to make it a reality and impress your PC friends! All
- that Sqward needs is FEEDBACK. Don't ignore this word. He needs more than one
- person who would like to see this as a product. If there isn't be any interest
- - Sqward will simply skip this project!

- SIKOR SOFT'S BACK!
- XL/XE software publisher
- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
-
- Atari XL/XE was a VERY popular machine in Poland for many years. So there was
- no surprise that most of the new software has been released in this country.
- When 8-bit Atari was dying in most of the European countries back in the 90's,
- in Poland it was gaining power. More and more software publishers appeared just
- like: LK Avalon, ASF, Sonix, Spectra, StanBit, Mirage, Krysal or Sikor soft. We
- witnessed Atari's back in most computer shops, which offered more and more new
- games for this machine! Many mags dedicated to gamers have started to write
- again about the "new wave of Atari games" in the middle of 90's! Games were
- selling quite well even if piracy at the time was legal in Poland. But suddenly
- the amount of new games for this machine stated to slow and only the strongest
- one publishers survived: LK Avalon and Mirage. The single new games came up and
- that was the death-kiss of commercial games for Atari. Strangely enough some of
- these publishers tried their luck in releasing games for other systems,like the
- C-64 for example and... failed.
-
- Now we have 2001 year and... guess what? One of these publishers thinks about
- trying to get back in the XL/XE market with new games! It's SIKOR SOFT from
- Warsaw/POLAND known for a couple of commercial titles for XL/XE series, e.g.
- 5x5, Sexy Six, Neuroid, ABC etc.. Piot Sikorski, the chief of this firm said:
-
- "Currently SIKOR SOFT activity is hanged. Anyway we still have all the
- software which was published for Atari XL/XE by ourselves. We do plan
- to back on the XL/XE market, however the interest of Atarist is simply
- too low at the moment".
-
- What can I say? If you have an 8-bit Atari and you would like to see some new
- games for your machine, don't wait but write a mail to Sikor Soft to show your
- interest!
