Send all adverts to the editor at the usual address. Please do NOT send
them to the p.d. library you got STOSSER from. Also, to keep up to date,
please can you inform me in writing if you no longer require your advert
to be displayed in this column. Incidentally, i will be carrying out a
purge over the next issue or two. So if you've got an ad here and haven't
written to us for a long while, we will more than likely assume that you
no longer want it in the 'zine and we'll delete it. We need the
diskspace. So if you haven't written for a while get in touch and tell us
that you want your advert to stay. Whilst you're at it, how about a bit
of reading material eh?. You can advertise anything you like within
reason, especially programs which have recently been written by yourself.
No adverts for pornographic or pirated software will be accepted, and no
responsibility will be taken for any problems arising from the use of this
ad page by any of the STOSSER crew.

THE LEARNER'S GUIDE TO BETTER GAMESPLAY
Are you the type to get stuck on every level of a game,due you suffer from
chronic wind due to sitting in the same position for hours trying to defeat
the Baddies or are you just plain hopeless at even the simplest of games
like Ludo and Snakes & Ladders.
We of the Gosport Fun Factory ™ have understood and can sympathise with
all of you that fail at even the slightest hurdle like seeing the next
screen,so arming ourselves with STOS,a note pad and 1st Word plus we have
created the ultimate ST Cheats Database that money can buy,due to the
quality and quantity (over 4000+ hints,cheats and tips) for which Menzies
or Smiths would normally charge #10 for the hardback,full colour version
we will supply you exactly the same on disk for Free,that's right folks
....Free,Ziltch,now't to pay,no HP V.A.T. or Mortgage.
To take up this special STOSSER promotion all you have to do is to send
me a disk (preferably with a few bits on) enclosing your name and address
on either the disk label or Bronco Toilet roll for those old enough to
remember and in return I will send you our current ST Cheats program (that's
regularly updated every 6 months) along with some other useless products
that have been produced at the factory.
My address is on the er Address screen but should you be in the same category
as the "No Hopers" and not find it I have printed it below for you.

Please be aware that a new public domain library has opened under
the name of JBPD and is ran by a very nice chap named Jamie
Blakeney.
Jamie offers the following service:
You send a number of discs (however many you want filled) and
Jamie will send you the program/s that you want. He charges #1 to
cover post and packing. This is only so if the disc you send
contains PD which Jamie has not got in his catalogue and which he
can use to expand his library. If you send a blank disc send an
extra 50p.
Make cheques payable to J.Blakeney but I suggest you contact him
in the first instance to find out what exactly he has in his
library.
Using this method of exchange Jamie's library should expand very
quickly. As more people use it correctly, more software will
become aviable. This beneifts everyone!

Wanted: Really Stupid software:
I've decided to collect daft programs, 'cos I'm sad I suppose.
Everyone has - or has seen - state of the art programming techniques,
well I want the complete opposite. It's difficult to explain what I'm
looking for so I'll describe one of the programs - actually this is
the only program I have at the moment so I really need assistance.
It's a program by SyD, it moves an odd coloured ball onto the screen
at irregular intervals and moves it in a straight line. Very strange.
When you press the space bar (or any of a number of keys) a silly
message is displayed. Even stranger.
This program has no use, it's not entertaining (well not much), it is
in a nutshell stupid and pointless. And I want *More* of the same. So
please - send me your idioticlly strange, bizarre, totally wierd
programs to me. Any size, any language. I'm hoping to compile a disk
full of these programs - so please help.

S I L L Y S O F T W A R E
TOP QUALITY SOFTWARE FOR THE ATARI ST AND STE
We are a popular Licenceware company who deals in all kinds of
software, mainly games. We have plans to release a number of
different titles in the future including shoot em ups, smack em ups,
text and graphic adventures, scrolling and normal platform games,
puzzle games, simulation games, 3D games, and role playing games.
We spend a lot of time writing the code and the graphics for our
software to give you the best value for money. Sadly some companies
are abandoning the ST therefore we at Silly Software are doing our
part to keep the ST going. Our prices are very cheap and for it you
get a semi commercial quality title. We can only keep supporting the
ST with your support.
Most of our titles are availible from PD librarys such as Floppyshop,
Jewel PD, LAPD, and Merlin PD selling at around #3.00 a title but as
we don't have their overheads we can sell the titles for a bit less.
WHY ARE WE CALLED SILLY SOFTWARE
The reason we have such a name is because we believe it stands out
from the rest of the other money grab....errm, companies. Also all
our titles have a comical intro and we incorperate some humour into
our games to make them more interesting.
WANNA MAKE A BIT OF CASH BUDDY
We here at Silly Software are always looking for new titles to add to
our list. Maybe you have written something and you'd like to make
some money out of it. You could release it as licenceware under your
own name but a company name like ours sticks out and therefore we
could get more royalties. If we accept your title then we will offer
you one of our titles free to replace your disk and we will add it to
our list and send it to the librarys. We would prefer the game to be
on one disk with about 80,000 bytes free so we can stick an intro on
it. We will then discuss payments with you. All we take is 20p of the
sales of each disk and title and you get the full payment as we don't
think its fair for us to make a profit out of your hard work. The 20p
a disk charge is used to pay our costs such as duplication costs.
The titles must be of high quality and with quality graphics and
gameplay. It is important that we stock such titles in order to keep
a good name. Anyway titles found to be hacked from other sources will
be removed from the list and you will lose all royalties on it. So if
you have a title you would like to release through us then please
send it in so we can have a look and get back to you.
WE DO NOT EXCEPT DEMOS
Here is a list of titles on sale at present. All titles are priced at
just #2.50 else otherwise stated. All disks virus free.
SILLY 1: Mobsters City (1 MEG) (NOT TOS 2.06)
An excellent point and click graphic adventure. You are Detective
Sargent Silly and have been sent to Mobsters City to destroy the
gangsters and get the twelve pieces of map leading the way to the Big
Bosses Hideout. Seek the gangster and challenge him to a shootout
behind the pub then shoot him or blow him up with grenades. Play
pontoon and talk to the characters or just chat up the barmaid and
get drunk. This is a popular game and its very funny with excellent
graphics and gameplay. The game is very random so its different each
time you play. A good laugh and enjoyable.
POWER DISKZENE RATING......91% (Power Plus Award)
SILLY 2: STOS Graphic Adventure Creator (version 2.01)
A powerful easy to use package which allows STOS users to create
their own mouse controlled graphic adventure games. Two programs do
all the hard work leaving you to concerntate on the interesting bits.
A large on disk manual takes you step by step through creating a game
which is set out in such a way it can be used by beginners and
expert programmers. Some programming is involved but the manual
explains exactly what to do. Create your own top quality games in a
short time quickly and easily. The package shows you how to create on
screen zones and other interesting features. Now completely updated
and rewritten. A sample demo game called Grannies Garden is included.
SILLY 3: Silly Software Samples Pack (Special price #5.00)
A five disk collection of SPL samples put together by James L
Mathews for Silly Software. There are over 450 samples in this pack
for use with Noisetracker, Protracker....etc, including bass, string,
and even silly samples for you to use in your own mods. This has an
intro but its not silly. All samples may be used in your mods without
anything payable to us. These disks would normally cost you more from
a PD library so it really is a bargain.
SILLY 4: Silly Games Compliation (Availible from July 1994)
Three games on one disk. Murder on the Diary Express, a STAC text
only adventure. You play Detective Sargent Silly and your mission is
to discover and arrest the man who's been murdering the milkmen. A
very funny game with lots of puzzles. Grannies Garden, the full
version of the SGAC game. Grannies grandchilden have been captured by
the wicked witch at teatime. Can you solve the puzzles, destroy the
witch, and rescue the children in this mouse controlled graphic
adventure. Very funny with brilliant graphics. Silly Reels, a fruit
machine game, make money or lose it all. An interesting game with nice
graphics and sound.
