MEGA ISSUE 1
Review by Dave...
It would seem that UFO'S and the paranormal are comming into the limelight
with a renewed interest....
Mega is a diskmagazine dedicated to just such material, based more on the
'wierd happenings' of the world in general there's allsorts inside to fulfil
even the most ardent of sceptics.
Everything from Hypnosis to 'are you a mad trekkie' can be found on the
disk...but more on that later.
THE SHELL!.
...is self running, once your through the main intro which consists of a little
animation and scroller, your taken to the main menu.
Rather than opt for a forwards/backwards menu your presented with a single
line of text which, at first I must admit I thought to be another mini-intro.
It turns out that the line of text on screen is the first article, a pres of
the space bar sends you on a voyage through all the various articles,
unfortunately it's a one way deal, if you miss the article you want you have to
'cycle' through all the others just to get to the one you want again :(.
It's not all that bad though...
THE DISPLAYER!.
Not a lot to say over this displayer, it works althought it's not fully
featured, it DOES however support piccies in Text, this'll make it interesting
above and beyond anything you've ever read...well, apart from ST+ :)))
There are few options from within the help menu however, I suspect these will
be added as time goes on.
THE ARTICLES!.
There is a veritable feast of text in there, some of which by our very own
Lee Round [TTT Editor], as I stated, there are a couple of articles all about
Hypnosis....It'll be interesting to see if what I read works....stay tuned
folks hehehehehe :))))
As for the amount of features, well, let's say if your into the 'wierd' side
of life [and the afterlife for that matter] then this is something you ought to
have put in your Xmas stocking :))
There is plenty to read, something all to rare in the first issue of a new
diskzine [ST+ included] so there's value for money-a-plenty...well, it IS
free!.
What's more, unless I saw an illusion, Mega also has adopted the pictures in
text approach, this is something I'll personally be keeping an eye on...<g>..
OVERALL!.
Mega issue one has room for improvement but I'm led to believe that a few [if
not all] of the gripes people have will be fixed for the next issue.
For a first issue it's a great read, a few 'oddments' need to be sorted but
apart from that the author need not be too worried about how it'll be recieved.
WARP ME THE NUMBERS DAVE.....
PRESENTATION : 7/10 - A nice effort!.
ARTICLE CONTENT : 8/10 - Wierd science?....yup!.
EASE OF USE : 5/10 - Hmmm, looses a lot on this one :((
V.F.M. : 10/10 - It's PD.....C'mon.
