Disk Maggie 11 by Maggie Team
Escape from the Planet Testicle Dateline 26/5/93..... This looks like the issue of Maggie that nearly got away, it still may get away from the Delta Force H.Q. But rather than let all these articles go to waste, here it is, Maggie 11, the Rebel Edition..... These are mostly articles written during the last quarter of 1992, including a lot of anguish expended on the No.1 subject,, the Atari Falcon... Why, when, what to have for dessert, who is your uncle and what is he doing with that chainmail bodystocking??? There are some new articles too, including the very latest Falcon software list, which now manages an impressive eighty-plus items.. These are OFFICIAL and in writing, and are not merely tall stories or Bulletin Board Rumours... Of these, twenty are games, the majority of the others are creative packages of the sort that fully justify a 32-bit computer with a DSP, there are rendering packages due that use the DSP for calculations, I personally cannot wait until 'Eclipse', the new game by Eclipse is ready, as this promises to use the DSP and true-colour texture-mapped graphics!!! Anyway, read on.... Bollocks on what I am doing this minute???? Trying to watch Sean Bean in a period costume drama jobbie where it is written in his contract that he strips down to waist level every seven minutes... (This original draft on the 12/5/93..) Also trying to write this as well... (Slowly) You will be pleased to find the first Falcon stuff on Maggie, with the various versions of 'Falcboot' which let you turn off bits of your Falcon that get in the way of behaving like the good ol' (Yes indeed, old!) ST that you knew.. The other program for the Falcon, a demo program which can use the DSP chip (If present) for ultra-fast fractal calculations... It takes eight seconds with the DSP, a lot longer with just an ST.. (Yes it will work on any ST, TT. or Falcon..) The stunning Pro-Tracker has now reached version 2.0, with an STE version that can play at the magic 50khz, and a STFM version which is not too bad either, loads of new options, and the chance to do some very weird things with the menu... Furthermore, MUG UK's Multi-Depacker version 2.0. (A bit old by now, but still useful..) And a very idiosyncratic debut into unusual STE codes by a good friend, of mine (Puts on Jimmy Tarbuck voice..) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Krazy Kredits Section ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These go to:- Delta Force - For their most excellent code... (Germans asleep though, this is) (Full-Metal English Maggie Team) (in charge here.....) CIH - For breathing up to and beyond the call of duty.... Felice - For confusing me with piles of Source Disks up to, and beyond the call of duty!!!!!!!! Sammy Joe - For visiting me with his Girlfriend (nice!) and little moustache (Oh dear!) during the Easter holidays... D.Brumleve - For challenging and interesting article on the role of Pirate Bulletin Boards.. Supplied by Dave, ta mate! Various Udders - Sorry no more individual names but you know who you are, and can safely recreate a warm glow of satisfaction in the comfort of your own home for all your efforts on our behalf!! Hello's go to:- Leon, (Runrig... Beaten to the tape mate, get your arse moving on HP-Source!!) Dave and Mark from the club, Dave Pixie, and Jeff (Captain Chromedome!) and all the other club people.... Colin and the other Scottish ST peeps.... Rob and Kev on the Falcon... Any other living ST people and newborn Falcon folk... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Announcements on a new Maggie Team structure to follow next issue. NOW GO AWAY AND READ............ GO ON, PISS OFF!!!! End-of-File T e d i o u s J o k e S e e n i n t o o M a n y P l a c e s B e f o r e N o w (Will this be goodbye???) Naaa! Don't think so!
