- Last summer, a challenge was issued to the Apple IIGS community. That
- challenge was in the form of a contest. With the backing and support of
- Olivier Goguel of the FTA, we at inCider/A+ urged the IIGS community to
- seek greater heights, to have fun and to go where no one had gone before.
-
- Some answered the challenge and some rose to the ocassion. I personally
- came online and said "blow my mind and make my day". And, guess what?
-
- Yes, indeed, the first Bouncin'Ferno entries are starting to arrive in
- SillyKohn Valley.
-
- I have seen the future. I have tasted greatness. I have feasted on the
- next generation of IIGS superstardom. I have climbed to new peaks. I have
- played new Bouncin'Ferno levels. I have gotten blisters on my fingers. I
- have smiled at the little bouncin fernos, and I have cursed at
- frustratingly insane new Ferno games.
-
- You rose to the challenge and you have succeeded. You did make my day. And
- my night, as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-
- Over the next several weeks, I'll be sorting through the contest entries,
- and choosing the winners. And, prizes will be announced. And, of course,
- the best of the entries will be shared with the IIGS community.
-
- But, will that be it? Is Bouncin'Ferno really the last of its kind? Have
- we seen the last works of The FTA? Is the fun and excitement that the FTA
- generated for us over? Are memories of the FTA all that remain?
-
- I think not!
-
- Coming soon to Shareware Solutions: The Lost Works of the FTA!
-
- You ain't seen nothing yet!
