DISK MAGGIE #1 (ASCIIART by Orm of DIGITALLIS)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**** FRIED BITS CONVENTION NEWSFLASH!!!! 11th APRIL 1993, Bremen ****
POWA WAS RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AFTER A PERIOD OF ILL HEALTH!!!
I send MANY THANKS to Alexander de Vries of D.B.A. for taking much of
his time to get me to the hospital. Also thanks to all those who were
concerned for my health once I returned to the convention. I can tell
you all now that I'm fine. (Gimme' a FALCON anyday!)
Also very special thanks to LAZER and CHANNEL 38 (The Energizer & Smart)
for getting DAN (Redlite) and I to the convention. It's just a shame
that the crews who said they were coming didn't turn up! Apologies to
all those crews who couldn't give me a DOC because of such short notice.
Give me a guestscreen for Teknofear instead!!! Say "farewell" to the
ST/STE in style with The Mega 4, as it is our last ST demo.
(There were SO MANY FALCONS at this party!)
= POWA =
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well well well what do we have here then? THE MEGA 4 and Co.???? A disk
maggie??? I never would have guessed it!!!! Never 'eard of 'em!!!
WELL YOU HAVE NOW!!!!
Yep!!! At the moment this is a "one off" disk based magazine that we have
all managed to concoct in our spare amounts of time! This is a disk maggie
full of...... stuff!!! Just read up and find out. If you like this disk
maggie then maybe we'll do some more in the future. Check out the DOC
viewer that you're using and if you find any bugs let me know. I still
think that there are the odd one or two. I dare you to try clicking around
here and there... you just might find the odd poorly hidden something
(maybe even a bugor two!!). Before I rattle on I would very much like to
give "special" thanks to all those crews who took time out to contribute
articles and ideas to this magazine who are:
DIGI TALLIS
CHAOS
LAZER
REDLITE
And also all those others who may have given a contribution.
Compiling this magazine was a little easier than compiling TEKNOFEAR, which
we hoped to be releasing about now. But then there was this, that and the
other and more work from university causing a new deadline for the
guestscreens, which is now July 1993. Thanks to all those crews who
replied but can't join us in our MEGA-VENTURE owing to a lack of time on
their behalf. But to all those crews who got the TEKNODOC dentro direct
from The Mega 4, what's up??? You know who you are!!! Either you must get
a lot of mail or......... I'll leave you to come up with your own reasons!!
We are doing Teknofear for the fun of it, and also because "The Prelude
Demo" is the only (mega?) demo we've released plus the odd screen and code
used here and there (Animal Mine GSC #39 take note!) we promised to release
a better demo later on in the future... and WE WILL!!! After coding with
DIGI TALLIS at the G.B.I.S.T. party held by Ripped Off in September '92
DIGI TALLIS have become our co-hosts for Teknofear. These guys are
becoming famous for their game PLOP which managed to get on to a cover disk
of Atari ST Review... the success story continues. It's a tricky
experiment trying to create a megademo solely using inland and air-mail but
although progression is slow we hope to be successful. So far one crew
(LAZER) has managed to give us their guestscreens for our megademo. Once
again thanks guys! In the meantime tiny exclusive no spread previews have
been circulating between us here in England.
If there are ANY ST crews who can code using 68000 and would like to
contribute a guestscreen please write to us, there's still time. Also send
us some stamps or international reply coupons so that we can send you the
specification for a guestscreen (old dentro coding by TM4!). We are not
too fussy about what you send us... in fact we hope to use EVERY screen in
Teknofear that is sent to us. If Teknofear has to fit on 8 disks... THEN
SO BE IT!!! What matters about your guestscreen is:
(a) That IT WORKS!!!
(b) It's entirely up to you how good you want it to be.
In our megademo your screen presents your crew!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other news... and as for The Mega 4 member status there have been some
changes. POWA, FRACTA and ACE are still here keeping the dream alive, but
MONTY is a VERY VERY PASSIVE member!! (That's life huh?).
However we are VERY pleased to say that we have 2 new members
joining us to be Gfx men. They are from Sweden, and were once in the group
called the NO CREW who did a screen in the SO WATT demo. They are none
other than AMON and GUZ!! They very kindly sent some graphics to us and we
just had to use them in the intro to this disk maggie.
Finally if you want to contact The Mega 4 then write to the following
address:
Ben Uwalaka
21 Mackay House
White City Estate
London W12 7PB
ENGLAND.
DO NOT SEND US ANYTHING ILLEGAL!!
WE ARE COMPLETELY CODERS, NOT COMPLETELY CRACKERS!!!
OK!! NOW READ UP, TAKE IN, PEACE OUT............
