- WELCOME, WELCOME! -
And yet another staggeringly enthusiastic "HELLO" to the latest contributions
of the "ST NEWS" editorial staff to the world of Public Domain! Of course, we
are here referring to the very thing that accompanies this "READ_ME" file on
the disk, i.e. "ST NEWS" Volume 7 Issue 2. We need not go through extensive
lenghts to explain to you that, once again, several things happened during its
finishing: 1) We had fun, 2) We got drunk, 3) We listened to lotsa music, 4)
We watched TV, 5) We played some games and 6) We ate and slept. I think we
even breathed a bit in between.
It was finished on May 9th 1992, which is not exactly but reasonable not too
far away from the sixth birthday of this little disk mag of ours. But let this
not be of any hindrance to you whatsoever!
Let's get down to the bits you are invited to include in your catalogue in
case you're running a Public Domain library...
- WHAT'S IN IT, THEN?! -
A REFRESHING LOAD OF ADVENTURE SOLUTIONS!
(INCLUDING "LOOM", "ICEMAN" AND THOSE BIG...ER..."ELVIRA"!)
THE PENULTIMATE ST DISK MAGAZINE ROUNDUP!
(WITH OVER *FORTYTWO* DISK MAGAZINE ENTRIES AND THEIR FULL SPECIFICATIONS!)
HANDS-ON REVIEW OF THE ST BOOK, ATARI'S HOTTEST NEW NOTEBOOK ST!
(AS WELL AS SOME NEWS ON THE ATARI FALCON 030 AND *EVEN MORE*!)
AN EXCITING REPORT ON THE SWEDISH *MEGA LEIF CONVENTION* HELD RECENTLY!
(NOT TO MENTION THE HARDSHIPS OF GETTING THERE INVOLVING CRUEL CULPRIT CUSTOMS
AND ATROCIOUSLY AMASSED AVALANCHES!)
THE ULTIMATE GAME CHEATS ENCYCLOPAEDIA!
(FEATURING CHEATS TO NEARLY *300* ST GAMES! IF NOT INCLUDED HERE, CHEATS
PROBABLY *DO NOT EXIST*!)
LLAMASOFT'S *FULL SHAREWARE GAME* "REVENGE OF THE MUTANT CAMELS"!
(WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE QUITE BRILLIANT AND GRABWORTHY!)
RECENT REVIEWS: "PROTEXT", "PROFLIGHT", "MORTIMER PLUS" AND "AMBERSTAR"!
(AND SOME MORE, ACTUALLY!)
A DEPACKER TO DECOMPRESS PACKED FILES!
(MIKE MEE'S "MULTI DEPACKER"!)
EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT METALLICA BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK!
(INCLUDING *THE MOST COMPLETE METALLICA DISCOGRAPHY EVER*!)
AN EXCITINGLY ENCHANTING CONTINUATION OF "OH YEAH"!
(CALLED, REMARKABLY, "OH YEAH II"!)
AN EXTREMELY AND UTTERLY TOTALLY IMPORTANT MESSAGE!
THE USUAL TIDBITS IN BETWEEN AND MINGLED THROUGH THE WHOLE LOT!
(MUSIC: FEAR OF GOD, METALLICA, PARADISE LOST AND PAUL GILBERT AMONG OTHERS!)
- HOW SHOULD THE DARNED THING BE COPIED? -
It's all awfully simply really. All you need to do is make use of a decent
copier - what about "FCopy" for a change? That'll do the job.
Of course, "ST NEWS" is very much Public Domain and you should spread the
disk - not just the word!
- LETTERS FROM THE EDGE RETURNED! -
Some of you may recall me being rather desperate in the previous issue of "ST
NEWS" with regard to stuff I expected one day to receive from the Software
Saint, Jeff Minter.
Well, he has written back, showing that I was seriously wrong with my
statement about him not taking corresponding seriously! He wrote an elaborate
letter and was generally being a very nice person.
Thanks, man! I hope my hassles and threats of joining the Sheep-and-Llama
Obliteration Front weren't taken personally (nor too seriously)!
So far this.
- WRITE TO US! -
This entire "READ_ME" file was trash. It was written in a completely stupid
style that is normally employed by rap song writers or other lowlife persons
roaming the earth. All of this has a cause, however: To provoke you into
writing for "ST NEWS". Never before has an issue of "ST NEWS" been finished
with such a high percentage of third-party material in it (partly taken from
other disk mags with whom we have an agreement, and partly original). We
believe this is a good thing, as it keeps the mag versatile and very much
alive! Different writing styles are more appealing, and you can rest assure
that we will try to continue this trend. Especially with the disk magazine
market having become more competitive ("STEN", "Maggie" and "The Untouchables
Disk Mag" to mention but a few), we constantly need to be on the cutting edge
of things (ALL things!).
We are therefore seeking people who wouldn't mind seeing their writings
published in our mag. Quality is highly sought after, of course, so please
write something you'd be proud of yourself - so that we all together can be
proud of yet another new issue of "ST NEWS". The good thing of getting an
article published in "ST NEWS" of course, apart from global fame, will be that
you get the issue in question mailed to your home WITHIN A WEEK after it's
finished! Is there a better way of non-monetary gratitude?
No?
Thought so.
Well, we will really quit with this now. So bye then.
AFTER WORDS......SILENCE...
AFTER FIRE.......ICE...
AFTER TIME.......PEACE...
AFTER DARK.......ST NEWS...
