- Oh what a surprise I had while watching the kids TV show "Alive
- and Kicking" last Saturday morning on BBC1..They have this section
- during "Electronic Circus" which covers games, usually PC and console
- ones. However the last segment this time covered, guess what?,
- the AT Surfer Pack. I was dumb struck for a few moments as I tried
- to rationalise what I was seeing..AT advertising the Amiga??? Could
- this be actually happening or was I still in some form of optimistic
- dream??? :) Nope, it was happening and was extremely pleasing to
- see..
- They only featured it for a minute or so, gave
- the specs (2meg, 256 meg HD etc), but then actually showed
- MindWalker running!!! I was very very impressed as it looked very
- nice and actually seemed to be running at a fast rate. I dont
- know if it was being run on a basic A1200 but the updates were
- pretty smooth and it looked very very useable...
- Well it certainly made my morning I can tell you... :)
- I just wish that AT had added an extra 2-4 meg of fast ram..Oh it
- would have made all the difference to the pack...
- Anyway, it seems that AT are finally getting around to pushing their
- products in the media, and although the segment was only very small
- it may mark the start of a bigger campaign as they get newer
- products onto the market...
