          Mostly NTSC files that will load into most
          popular art packages ie Dpaint series by
          Electronic Arts.

Disc   2: The 2nd Slideshow consisting of 29 IFF files
          in sequence to some music. Files are again IFF

Disc   3: This slideshow is a rolling show of stills from
          the Cinemaware game `Rocket Ranger' released in
          1988.The sequence is accompanied by some suberb
          digitised music and the game itself in now way
          looks as old as it now is, try this demo if you
          are interested in the game.

Disc   4: Another 24 pictures getting the slideshow
          treatment, most of these are pictures converted
          from HAM (4096 colour) format down to standard
          32 colour mode.The results of converting 4096
          colour files to 32 colour files are not as bad
          as you would first think, as these very good
          examples show. Files: Bidonhorse,Brick,Butterfly
          Checker,Coffecup,Excalibur,Earth,F-15,Floral,
          Glass,Helen,Lady,Lambo,Liberty,Lion,Litgirl,

          Once again these will load into any standard art
          package.

          colour piccies suitable for grabbing as clip art
          etc from any paint package. Files: Alien,

          excellent art by Sachs who was responsible for
          the graphics in Defender of the Crown and the
          vastly under-rated Ports Of Call.

Disc   8: Not really a slideshow but a collection of
          stills taken from a Holsten Pils Tv advert
          (a western) featuring Griff Rhys-Jones.
          Accompanied by a digitised soundtrack also

Disc  13: This slideshow consists of 12 great HAM (4096

          graphics digitiser. Various files include a
          superb space ship and a brilliant picture of
          an old man. Files are in the old digiview format
          and have to be converted with Pixmate or similar
          before it will load into Photon Paint etc.

Disc  26: This slideshow consists of 18 files of which all
          are of a classical nature, ie digitised oil
          paintings etc. Not my cup of tea but the artists
          among you may appreciate this one. Again a
          bootable disc with files that can be loaded into
          other programs.

Disc  27: Roger Dean hits the Amiga in the form of this
          HAM slideshow. 15 of Rogers classic paintings
          are captured in the Amigas 4096 colour mode,
          again digitised with DigiView. People unfamiliar
          with Roger Deans work may be interested to learn
          that he is the artist responsible for much of
          PSYGNOSIS`s artwork. (Inc Barbarian,Terrorpods).

Disc  32: This disc contains possibly the highest quality
          digitised graphics yet, all digitised with
          Digiview by NEWTEK (the manufacturers)
          themselves. All load into any standard HAM
          package and are unbelievable when first seen.
          Includes a brilliant table of food (?!) and a
          couple of interlaced pictures so crisp and clear
          that lead you to think its not an Amiga you're
          using! True photographic quality - plus some
          music.

Disc  40: A special full screen slideshow (ALL of the

Disc  59: Sam Fox Slideshow. Fox fans get a treat as Sam

          very scantily clad ladies in uncompromising

          Stay clear if easily offended,not one for
          your granny or your kids.

Disc 170: Contains examples of the type of quality you

          Legend (brilliant),Garfield,Guru,Woman and
          Morris - and of course a suitably silly piece
          of music - this time In The Mood!

Disc 199: BFPO Disc 2, same concoction as before, more
          ladies in revealing poses. All Ham 4096 colour
          graphics but watch out for big momma...and of

Disc 200: BFPO Disc 3, the last of the BFPO discs! Yet

Disc 212: The Madonna slideshow, a black and white slideshow
          of Mrs Music in her usual poses. Great for fans
          but not so great for others (like me).

Disc 225: A nice demo with a remix of MIAMI (by Alvin Starr)
          features 10 very nicely drawn game-adverts...

Disc 233: A novel idea this one, a comic on a disc! Files

          loaded on most of the major machines using the
          GIF program. About 50 screens of story about
          vampires amongst other things. Nicely done. Taken
          from Compuserve in the states. The story is
          called Jack Frost.

Disc 264: Slideshow 23 consists of some superb artwork by
          Ian Harling Tudor Cottage, Biplane, glass and 4
          screens from `The Long Patrol` which is a game
          based around Vietnam and the graphics are really
          nice, atmospheric and lets hope the game lives
          up to the graphics. Ian is also available for
          commercial work. Also on the slideshow apart from
          a very nice sample are some hi-quality interlaced

          the shuttle etc.

Disc 291: Utopia 1 (Cert X) First X-Rated show from a

          Miller.

Disc 313: 7 Superbly digitised Boris Vallejo pictures,
          all interlaced HAM mode, some of the best we
          have ever seen. The quality is absolutely superb,
          and so is the artwork. If you like this sort of
          thing, go out and buy a Boris Vallejo book
          because they are superb! Art:Boris B, Bride,
          Jade, Spider,Touch, Wonder, Jungle. Some of the
          artwork is a bit risque as it is Fantasy art.

          Masquerade. Brilliant quality pictures, difficult

          Anyone interested in Tobias can read an interview
          conducted with him on Newsflash Issue 4.

          artwork.. Henk Van Der Graaf is a Dutchman living
          in Australia who spends up to 5weeks at a time

          Graaf pictures on this disc, the Joker from Rico
          Holmes and the incredible cover to this Newsflash.

          moment.

Disc 530: Cinemaware Basketball Slideshow. 8 Pictures from
          Cinemawares forthcoming simulation. More great
          graphics from one of the leading Amiga Developers
          The game will be coming out sometime in 1990 via
          Mirrorsoft, and if this demo is anything to go by
          , it should be pretty amazing! Just to prove 17Bit
          are THE leading PD suppliers we actually received
          this demo BEFORE Mirrorsoft even knew one existed!
          How`s that for speed??!!

          decent tunes and a scrolltext (which you can turn
          off if it gets in your way!)

          digitised a few hand drawn. Includes 8 pictures
