Interview with Steven Flowers, Alive Mediasoft

Yep, here's yet another interview for this jam packed issue :-)

WOA: What was the first Amiga you owned

ALIVE: Amiga 500 with half a meg - the Batman pack to be exact! =

WOA: What first attracted you to the Amiga

ALIVE: My best mates brother had an Amiga and I had a Commodore 64. This chap was running stuff like Defender of the Crown, Great Gianna Sisters and Speedball 1, oh and Xenon.... there was nothing like this on any other machine so I plucked up the courage to ask my dad for the =A3500 for the Batman pack - and I got it! lucky me...

WOA: How long have you been using the Amiga?

ALIVE: Since being about 13 or 14, so about 1987 ish... And 6 months later I bought my whopping great 1 MEG UPGRADE! Wow! and I got Dragons Lair free...

WOA: What do you think should happen to the Amiga?

ALIVE: Amiga Inc are going the right way I believe with OS 3.5 and a new stand alone Amiga for around £600-700. This is what every Amiga owner = has been waiting for - lets just hope they do it this time.

WOA: Any further thoughts

ALIVE: I have put my time, my life and every penny I possess into supporting the Amiga, first as a user and then through Alive mediasoft. But for the Amiga to survive, we need every one's support. This means every one buying the utilities and games they use - not pirating. Piracy is killing the market we all love. It IS worth saving and we can turn it around, we just all need to stick with it and hold out for the new Amiga and have faith that Amiga Inc know what they are doing.
