¢OASIS DESIGN¢¢An overview by Daniel Baverstock and Trevor Howson.¢¢¢ Sounds like a cheap clothing label, doesn't it? Well, it isn't. Oasis Design is in fact a very, very small company with, in fact, only two members: Me, Daniel Baverstock (a music fanatic and Atari 8 and 16-Bit worshipper), and Trevor Howson (a Brighton Seagulls supporter and Amiga owner (!)), both aged 17.¢¢ Oasis Design was founded around three months ago when I purchased 'Operation Blood' from Derek Fern's Micro Discount (how's that for a plug!). The idea had formed after the recent news of over 30 new software titles from European companies. We thought it was about time Atari owners gained some input into future programming projects.¢¢ The goal of Oasis Design is to invent original software concepts (mostly games) and eventually assist in their development and design. We will send our ideas to 8-Bit programmers and software companies. Most of our game concepts will have musical treats in store.¢¢ Be on the look out for any of our game concepts in the future. If all goes well, you may just see one or two of them come to fruition. So, keep supporting the Atari 8-Bit - it's worth it!¢¢¢Oasis Design - D.Baverstock¢ T.Howson¢¢¢¢ --------------------------¢¢¢(Ed: Cheers lads for taking the time to write a quick overview about your idea. Oasis Design is a very original and ingenious concept. If the computer and software companies spent more time listening to the user they might stop simply concentrating on increasing their profits. The best software titles are those that are loved by a wide user base. Who better to design the software than the user? Go for it lads and remember to let me know if you are successful with any of your software concepts (and don't forget to advise the company to release an Atari 8-Bit version). Good luck from all at NOSAUG!¢
