<+> <+>¢ *ANTIC* THE CATALOG* or Gone,but not¢ forgotten!¢ by JIM CUTLER, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND¢ Member of OL' HACKERS A. U.G., Inc.¢ --------------------------¢ THE START¢¢ I bought my 800XL in the early¢ 1980's, being advanced in years, the¢ spate of Atari games left me totally¢ unmoved. Those productivity programs¢ which were available were few and¢ exorbitantly priced, due to the jolly¢ idea, still practiced by importers,¢ of taking the dollar price, and¢ calling it pounds sterling (saves¢ printing new price lists). It was at¢ that time that I discovered ANTIC,and¢ more importantly, THE ANTIC CATALOG.¢ ¢ AH, NEW IDEAS¢¢ Here there were programs,¢ remarkably different, with¢ comprehensive documentation and at a¢ reasonable price.¢¢ Games such as Colossus Chess¢ v3.00, XTAL(a Starship game),¢ KARATEKA -karate game, were also¢ included.¢¢ Graphics were catered to by ENVISION.¢ RAMBRANDT, Graphic Shop, Lister+,¢ Picture +, Graphic Master, etc.¢¢ EDUCATION programs included¢ EARTHVIEWS, STARBASE, STARWARE,¢ MAPWARE, SPEEDREADING and MEMOREASE.¢¢ PRODUCTIVITY was represented by ¢ HOMECARD ,CREATIVE PROCESS, BASICVIEW¢ (watch your prog. execute line by¢ line), INTERLISP/65, CALCMAGIC,¢ SHERLOCK 1050, DATAMANAGER XL, DEEP ¢ BLUE C, and many others.¢¢ RECOMMENDATION¢¢ I very strongly suggest that if you¢ see any of these grab them, you may¢ not see their likes again.¢¢ Submitted by Jim Cutler-19th May¢ 1993¢ >=< END >=<¢¢
