PRODUCT INFORMATION
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Floppyshop are pleased to announce the release of their fourth CD-ROM title
for Atari computers. It is an anglicised version of an excellent release
entitled Falcon 030 Version 1.00, which was compiled by Michel Goux and
Thierry Benet who run the popular Azimut RTC bulletin board in France. The
CD-ROM remains essentially their compilation, but we have modified it by
altering the folder structure to English names and replacing some of the
included software packages with newer updated versions. In addition, we have
squeezed quite a lot of interesting extras onto the CD which were not
present on the original release. The Floppyshop variant is called SELECT CD,
so as to avoid confusion with the French version.
As the name suggests, this collection is exclusively dedicated to the Atari
(or CLAB) Falcon 030. There's no antiquated ST software padding out this
collection, it's all top quality PD, Shareware and Freeware for Falcon
computers. Many of the titles coincidentally happen to run exceptionally
well on the Hades, Medusa and other high end clones, but others use the DSP
and are therefore only comfortable with the real McCoy.
SELECT CD includes all the top demos from Europe's favourite demo crews,
lots of audio programs, masses of games, graphic programs, file viewers,
lots of source code (in Assembler, C, DSP, GFA and other languages), several
multimedia packages, a number of STe emulators, some direct to disk
recording software, lots of disk magazines, masses of small utilities,
technical info, DIY electronics projects and an easy to install Unix
environment for your Falcon.
With very few exceptions, almost everything on the CD-ROM is uncompressed
and ready to run. In fact most software will run directly from the CD, thus
avoiding the necessity to purchase a larger hard drive. Falcon exclusive
collections are very few and far between, with most Falcon owners having to
be content with a token "corner" on an ST based title. SELECT CD offers a
unique opportunity to own all those classic Falcon demos together with the
very latest versions of all today's popular PD, Shareware and Freeware
titles from the world's top Falcon programmers. What more could you possibly
want, apart from a Phenix or a Milan?
