Da Dum! Da Dum! Da Da Da DAAAHH!
(20TH CENTURY MAGGIE)
Thank heavens for gravity, for if it weren't there, then surely that
hugely oversized logo would be plummeting to its, and our, doom?
Anyway, you are now reading the Atari show special edition, brought to
you at, errm, the Autumn Atari Shows.. It has been a little while since
we were away, but now, we're pleased to be back, and there have been one
or two changes since the last time we were here as well..
New Falcon Maggie shell..
Lucky readers of this issue will be able to see for themselves, the
first part of the Falcon shell upgrade is ready, and with end results
that will please the eye.. There is still more to come, including quite
a bit that wasn't finished in time..
I'm online!
It finally happened, I got the modem just in time for the last
issue, and finally got around to doing something with it.. More about
email addresses and stuff inside..
Future Publishing - Futile Publishing!
A little bit of information via Ed Cleveland and the pages of Computer
Shopper Magazine.. Long suffering veterans of the Atari scene may
recognise what is happening here?
Amiga magazines, until recently quite plentiful (in the UK) have been
going down like things that are subject to nasty infectious diseases..
Amiga Review (any relation to ST Review?) did not go quietly, and went
out with a rant directed at the mainstream glossies, claiming 'guerilla
marketing' by them was forcing the independent magazines out of
business. The list of suspects on the 'glossies' side contracts narrowly
down to.... Amiga Format, which is the sister title of the year-dead
ST Format.. A look at Amiga Format in its current state reviews and we
see, yes, a reduced page count, increased cover price, and reducing
circulation..
The more some things change, the more they stay the same?
The conclusion is that Future Publishing are seeking to squeeze the last
drops of cash out of the minority computer market, first it was our turn
now it is theirs!!
Belated thanks..
Thanks to New Beat Design for their brain blasting Falcon intro, and to
Tat for his efforts on the ST intro.. Cheers guys, you're worth it!!
Late Breaking News!!
I love late breaking news, now take this great bloke from Poland for
instance..
Hello Richard! :))
Yesterday somebody told me that Maggie #24 is available, but I can't
find it anywhere! Could you give me an URL or ftp address? I will be
very grateful...
About Amok demo - it's released in 98%. I already got it, but I can't
spread it around. Gfx maker from Confusions didn't enjoy a few little
gfx in Amok and it will be fixed soon... You must be patient! I can only
say that it's brainblasting stuff :))
Did you heard about Shadows problems? Everything seems that
it's a dead team... But don't worry Felice! I created a new ST/Falcon
demo team! yes!
Here is the unofficial member-status:
Spider - Code (Falcon)
Modred - Code (ST)
Sector - (an old Shadows gfx member!)
Grey - (WHQ, swapper)
So don't worry! In plans we have two intros: one for ST (we have some
things already done) and one for Falcon (about two effects up to now).
Okay, that's all for today....
c ya another time!

(we haven't a name yet!)
