The Grim Reaper issue 02 April 1992¢-----------------------------------¢¢Editor: John E. (TEBSF)¢¢¢¢Howdy all! As you can see there is an¢issue 02 of TGR, so I hope you're¢happy it is here.¢Firstly apologies to all concerning the¢printing routine for the documentation¢in the last issue, I have fixed it now¢but some copies may still be around, if¢you have a duff copy then get another¢one from me! The problem was not¢actually bad programming, but sloppy¢programming.¢This disk, unlike issue 01 is formatted¢in Medium Density and contains two¢different menu types, load with BASIC¢and you'll get the DOS menu, load¢holding OPTION then you will get the¢boot menu which has the files Bandit¢Boulderdash 4, Super Chopper X1 and¢Vroom Demo. All future issues will be¢in this format also. Maybe you have¢already chanced upon this menu?¢The Atari is still going through a¢pretty bad patch and I have no new¢cassettes to review, so I'll just have¢to do a review of an old game.¢How about you reading this submitting¢an article, letter or contact plea for¢the magazine? Articles should be¢submitted in text form, using a word¢processor like Speedscript, Page 6¢Writer or Mini Office II. Contacts and¢letters may be hand written, if you¢know me personally then you may write¢to my home address.¢An article I have lined up for the next¢issue is "What's in a name?" and I hope¢to delve into some of the weird and¢wonderful names that appear on Atari¢demos and the like. Knowing me it'll¢probably never appear, but I'll try.¢All submissions should be sent to:¢John E., 17 Litton Bank, Gamesley,¢Glossop, SK13 9HF, England.¢¢It was interesting for me to read the¢article by Mark Hutchinson in the¢latest edition of New Atari User (55),¢about him getting back into the Atari¢scene because I am trying my best to¢get out of it a bit more! I have¢decided that I use my Atari too much¢and other activities I enjoy are being¢pushed away in preference to my¢computer. So I promptly went to my¢local library, got a book and have¢spent the last week reading it. I am¢not a very fast reader and I can only¢manage about 100 pages a night, by the¢way the book was called "The Sword of¢Shannara" and is totally brilliant! I¢hope to read the sequels very soon.¢But what has all this got to do with¢"The Grim Reaper"? Well, because I have¢hardly touched my beloved 8-bit in the¢last week, TGR is a bit behind schedule¢and I was hoping to finish it by March¢23rd at least. Today is the 1st of¢April and it is still not finished!¢So think about it fellow Atarians, we¢all know the Atari 8-bit needs a lot of¢support but don't let it rule your¢life! There are other pastimes other¢than computing... find them!¢¢This magazine is FREE to all Atarians.¢¢John E. (TEBSF)¢¢P.S. Remember... or you'll forget!¢
