Interface and our exciting range of
modern storage devices.
Named after the famous storage-hungry
animal, the Squirrel' SCSI 2 interface
simply plugs into your PCMCIA slot and
allows you to connect up to 7 (yes. 7!)
SCSI devices to your Amiga at the same
time. Just think of it. a triple-speed
CD-ROM. a SyQuest" removable drive.

Tape Streamer, all on-line and all
available at any time!
All this is a reality with the amazing

The Squirrel comes complete with SCSI
software drivers, a host of useful SCSI
programs (audio CD player, CD-to-HD

compatible with the CD32 so that, with
a suitable CD-ROM drive, you can run
games like Diggers. Brutal Football.
Liberation. Pinball Fantasies etc. etc.

While liquidators liquidate, bidders bid and the PC
continues to become the standard for home comput-
ers. t here is a resoundingly positive mood among
suppliers and distributors throughout t he country.
Despite the setbacks and uncertainty, the Amiga is
still a popular machine. Computer TradeWeekly, the
industry newspaper, carried out a survey among 50
computer and video game retailers asking if they
would welcome back the Amiga with open arms. 82
per cent of those polled gav e

conclusion very soon. Giles Harwood at Gordon
Harwood Computers is happy to admit that sales "are
going tar better than we ever expected.
- W h e n a s k e d about the prevailing mood of gloom in certain quarters,
he was quick t o point out: ' What good is gloom in
circumstances like this? It spreads quickly and we all
end up suffering we're all in the same boat after all."
Tony laniri, head of Power Computing, is equally
enthusiastic: "I'm still very positive. At the moment our
business is booming and when Commodore does
nally get bought out, well continue to support the for-
mat happily."
Up in t he north of England, t he mood is similarly
lifted. Eiden Cobbedey of the First Computer Centre in
Leeds is still very happy with customer awareness of
the Ami ga: ' Ther e was a great demand f or t he
machines before Christmas and even afterwards as
well. At t he end of t he day. t he Amiga is still a ne
comput er
- He continued: ' There' s a t remendous amount of
software and a massive user base out there still tho
machine isn't going to roll over and simply die.
- As t o t he future, he simply want s t he successful
buyer to push the Amiga to the front as the machine to
have. Attitudes that Commodore of old used t o have
need t o be t hrown Out and reliability problems that
have become the bane of some 1200 owners rectied
permanently.
With all these positive attitudes bouncing about the
UK isles, one only hopes that by this time next month
somet hing wi l l have nally happened. Keep your
ngers crossed.
Aglimmer of light
The Commodore saga continues. David Pleasance, co-
head of the MBO lead by CL-1.1k, told Amiga Computing
that they were signing a contract for certain come
this Friday (20/1/95). The confusion last month over
whether the money for the initial bid had actually been
given to the liquidator was claried by Pleasance. "The
money got held up in the bank process but II went
through."
During this delay, Alex Amor of CEI in the States,
another contender for Commodore's crumbled empire,
placed a bid of his own, Fortunately for Pleasance and
co,. C=Uk's money nally arrived and was higher than
the CEI bid. The liquidator apparently decided that the
highest amount would be accepted, leaving CEI out in
the cold.
Asusual. in true liquidating style, the actual signing
of a contract still hasn't been achieved. in the mean-
time, a 93-page document detailing various legal
requirements, conditions and more has been drawn up
for Amiga International to hopefully clear the legal tan-
glings that have dogged the entire process from day
one.
Quite why there's been a delay of the actual bidding
process is not entirely clear, However. Pleasance esti-
mates that the computer industry will know the out-
come in three weeks time (mid-February). Deia-vu?

After the worrying news of government intervention over certication
of games last month, some good news has surfaced recently cour-
tesy of Ultralab. The learning technology research centre based at
Anglia Polytechnic University have staled that computer and video
games can have a strong and positive impact upon the development
of children.
Professor Stephen Heppell, head of the centre, stated: ' Al Ultralab
we are concerned wit h children and t heir relat ionship wit h new
t echnology. Many of our ndings run against t he est ablished
clich of computer and video games having a derogatory effect on
children."
He believes that the way in which a child overcomes a problem or
quest in a game is frequently close to t he way they should solve
problems in the classroom.
He comment ed: -

question, hypot hesise and test. The challenge to parent s is f or
t hem t o hel p c hi l dr en s ee t hat t he appr oac h t hey us e
when pl ay i ng c omput er a n d v i deo games may b e us ed
elsewhere."
Another myth that Professor Heppell is keen t o readdress is t he
image of lonely children, sitting in their bedrooms and not socialising
With anything ot her than a screen: "Children naturally want to talk
about t he t hings t hey do and t his includes comput er and video
games. In our work at Ultralab we have been highly impressed by the
richness and qualit y of t he language of children describing t heir
gamesplaying.

youngsters in being able t o explain something t o older children is
very real."
Heppell states that it's healthy for parents to play games with their
offspring. If t he children do better than t heir adult peers in certain
areas such as games. it can improve self esteem and trigger off talk
about strategies and approaches which t he professor feels is an
invaluable part of the learning process,
The European Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA)
have greeted the for-once-positive comments with open arms. Roger
Bennett, general secretary f or t he group, stated: ' Comput er and
video games bring pleasure to many millions of people around the
world, so it is reassuring when a renowned educationalist speaks of
their merit from a learning viewpoint."
Let's hope the Home Secretary sees it that way.

The kits comes in four congurations, depending
on the screen you choose. A 9.4 inch monochrome
LCD screen support ing a 640x480 display is the
least expensive, coming in at $1349. Next up is a
10.4 inch dual-scan passive colour LCD screen,

- there's been almost no development of quality games on this side of the
Pond for many months.
However, a small rag-t ag t eam of programmers - spread across t he
United States but connected via the online networks - have joined together to create some hot new Amiga
games. Called Dark Unicorn Productions, they seem to be using t he Doom approach in promoting their
software: Release a basic edihon of the game online, and sell a much-enhanced version as commercial
software.
You may have already seen MP' s rst game, Michael Welch's Scorched Tanks,
which is now up to version 1.90. This takes the old Artillery program, pioneered on
text-only display terminals in the late 1970s, and blasts it into the mid-'90s with 64-
colour terrain, rocking music by Sidewinder (Eric Gieseke), and an amazing variety of
weapons. The registered version sells for only $12.
DUP's newest game. Tomcat, is already getting lots of discussion on the online
networks. This arcade shooter gives full-motion, third-screen video without a CD-
Tomcat l a st
and sarious
ROM. You will need a hard drive for this extremely large game, though - the demo version alone weighs in
at two megabytes!
The video looks good and the game requires fast reexes: this is one for serious arcaders only. Tomcat's
author. John Graham, assures me that the commercial version is extremely challenging, but doesn't require
the hyperkinetic reexes needed to survive t he demo. An incredible bargain at only $15. this game is
available now.
Coming soon from DUP are It's the Pits, a multi-stage arcade adventure with 3D
combat sequences: Flying Tigers, an arcade helicopter shoot-'em-up that features

crimes in the eyes of any true Amiga
fanatic but I opened my wallet willin-
gly and splashed out nearly two grand for what
is basically a machine that's impractical in
many respects, based on ancient technology
and will probably be redundant in the next ve
years. Forget all the hype that a PC will last
forever, that irs future proof - it won't and isn't,
no comput er can be. Mot herboard designs
change and become impractical t o upgrade
without ripping the whole machine apart and
starting from scratch.
The buying decision was one of forced com-
promise. the most unpleasant of any nancial
expenditure. You're not going to nd the stan-
dard of genlocking on a PC that you'd nd on
the Amiga, or even some of the 'multimedia'
capabilit ies of a 1200. Shor t of Ami ga
International committing commercial suicide
and licensing their technology t o third-party
manufacturers, the likes of Video Toaster are
pipe dreams for PC owners.
So why did I do it? Simple - I want ed a
machine t hat is guarant eed of a f ut ure f or
those ve years, that has denite and assured
support f rom a large base of sof t ware and
hardware manufacturers and from a company
that won' t suddenly tall into bankruptcy and
leave me wondering what the hell happened.
For all its bugbears and horrendous operating
inadequacies, that international support and
the PC' s sheer power are vital ticks on my
buying list.
The Amiga, as we know it, has that kind of
support but on a far smaller scale. There's a
hell of a lot of respect tor the machine - tar
more so t han t he PC. People will act ually
argue ercely and passionately about its mer-
its, whereas a PC owner will quit e happily
admit to their machine being a donkey with a
speedy Intel inside, but smile at the fact their
investment is guaranteed of a future in t he
short to mid term.
Many manufacturers throughout the Amiga's
'annus horriblus' that was '94, have by and
large stood by the machine and continued to
develop f or it. The Cyberst orm 060 card.
Lighlwave Release 4, and Photogenics are
just some of t he high calibre products that
have either arrived or are on t heir way to a
vendor near you.
But there is still concern - that base of sup-
porters is by no means large enough at the
moment to turn the mass buying public's head

away f rom the Macintoshes and PCs of this
world.
So what of the Amiga's future if Pleasance
and Co. win? Two years. Two long years in
development. It's a lengthy period of time in
technological terms, The next generation of
Amigas is a mere blip on the consciousness of
the computer world.
Talking to certain Amiga developers, one of
their main concerns is the lack of new technol-
ogy surfacing in Me next f ew months, David
Pleasance understandably seems happy t o
rely on existing hardware and third-party sup-
port - it would seem insane to cut Off existing
Amiga owners at the moment by producing a
non-downwardly compatible system. But the
fear remains that two years is simply going to
be too long for punters who want power in their
machines right now.
The question 041 every technophile's lips at
the moment is: Could Amiga International sur-
vive the next 24 months? It's my hope that
they Could. If Amiga International can return
the respect and commit ment to t hird-part y
developers that has been shown to the comc,
,
!
ny in the past, can promise that schedules '.-
be met and prices kept down and new cam
for upgrading existing machines are produce:
the future could be very optimistic. Any talte
-mg though, or delays. and we' ll be reading
about Amiga International like we were readi
about Commodore during last year
I genuinely hope that Pleasance and co
can cir) what they say they can, so that in
years time b e able to put that sacnlegio
object, the PC, into a closet and buy an Ami
whose st rengt hs should f ar out weigh t h
monopolising monolit h, and do it all f or
cheaper price.
Amiga International have the arduous t a
of ! liming their agship machines of the pro
sent and the future from an enthusiast's corn
puter into a fully edged mass consumabl
product - Gallup's latest user base list in t
UK shows the competition: Amiga: 2,215,0

Installing utilities
The procedure f or installing utilities is much
the same as installing applications, except
that you can boot f rom your hard drive or
Workbench disk, As utilities don't need to be
de-archived, you are asked t o specif y a
directory on your hard drive or Workbench
disk where you would like to install them.
If you don't want to install to the default
directory you can change it by clicking on
Change Destination. The Show Drives but-
ton will allow you to select a new device and
directory. You can create a new drawer for
your utility to go in by clicking on t he Make
New Drawer button and typing in the name.
You can also make a utilities disk by run-
ning the MakeUtilitiesDiskt 3 program locat-
ed in the W8_1.3_only drawer and installing
your utilities to here. At times you may be
asked if you want to install a utility's docu-
mentation. A tick box indicates that the docu-
mentation is selected f or inclusion, but you
can click on the box to ignore it or simply
click on the Skip This Part button.
The utility installer programs can be found

shiny new Amiga when I bought it
oh so long ago was that you de-
nit ely needed a har d dri ve t o make i t
remot el y us abl e when ddl i ng wi t h
Workbench. The second t hing was how
tedious and frustrating it was working with
all t hose tiles once I did get a hard disk.
You really need t o keep your hard drive
and it s cont ent s i n some semblance of
neatness if you are to avoid problems.
Using Work benc h t o copy t i l es and
drawers f rom one place t o anot her or t o
start of f on a round of renami ng i s not
exactly t he best way t o go about things.
Lots of menu accessing, typing and button
pushing is involved.
To make lif e easi er when usi ng your
Amiga t o copy lots of les and directories
and generally f ooling around wit h oppy
disks and hard drives, you need an easy-

It there's a specthc period of time in my life
that I would consider traumatic and excruci-
atingly tedious, it was t hat period I spent
warning how to drive a car.
The actual driving lessons were OK, after
al. here I was in a potentially lethal vehicle,
hurtling down narrow roads. Great fun. The
horrors started when I realised I had to wade
through the highway code book in prepara-
tion for the examiner's inevitable quesbons
on those obscure road signs.
I would put the interest level of reading the
highway code book on an equal footing with
having t o read a phone book f rom a mile
away using a telescope, while at the sarne
time having to turn the pages by waiting for a
bus to arrive to take you to the phone book
and then back to the telescope.
Its little wonder that your ayerage mild-
mannered individual sometimes transforms
into an ill-tempered and aggressive monster
when behind a wheel - it all stems back to
the psychological damage inicted by the
highway code book.
If only clueing up on the highway code
was a little more fun. Well, thanks to those
lolly ni c e peopl e at Ten out of Ten
Educational Systems, the learning process is
now a Rile more interesting.
We reviewed the complete package last
month, where it got a healthy overall rating of
eight. So, now's your chance to see just how
much you know about those obscure road
signs with this demo version that allows you
to play one of t he six games f rom t he full

on the button marked Signpost and you are
taken to the game menu. Click on the Play
Signpost box and your oft.
You will be presented with various ques-
tions ranging from the purely textual through
to graphic recognition of actual signs. Get a
question right and you can blast away a
square f rom the grid box at the t op of the
screen in order to reveal parts of a hidden
road sign. You can then take a stab at what
the actual hidden sign is by choosing from a
list of possible answers.
If such software was available when I was
taking my test, maybe I would have retained
a little more of my sanity.

Every so often, someone somewhere does
a really good version of a classic arcade
game that is worthy of a mention. Pucman,
f rom Augenbl i ck, i s one such version.
Featuring silky smooth animation and great
sound effects, this game brings back those
fond f un memories of yout hf ul days, and
coins, wasted at the local arcade.
There are actually two versions on offer in
Augenblick's cracker Classic Pucman and
Pucman+. The classic Pucman version
plays and sounds like the real thing, while
Pucman+ features two-player co-operative
or competitive mode.
The CoverDisk version features only the

If there is anything remotely close t o the aforementioned tedium of enduring drivi

In this demo version you can play Bomber, one of the six games from the complete pack.
The aim of the game is to match the graph gures to the correct values by either dropping

Fractal World allows you to use numer-

n the worl d of seri ous computi ng, nothi ng i n recent years has recei ved
more attention than the Net. Already connecti ng thousands of users world-
wide in on-line communication, its importance for the future seems hard to
over-estimate.
What can easily be forgotten is that none of it woul d be possi bl e if it wasn't for
he modem. Wi thout them data coul d not be transferred between computers, and
global community of on-line users woul d never have existed.
The efci ency of on-line activity for any user will have a lot to do with the speed
nd quality of the comma equi pment they are using. It's an area in whi ch the tech-
l ogy is improving at a prodi gi ous rate, and fortunately, prices are falling i ust as
uickly good news for potential beginners.
There are a l ot of modems out there to choose from. Unfortunately, Ami ga own-
rs must be particularly careful because most packages are biased towards the PC
arket. It's for thi s reason that the modems bel ow are products from distributors
ho can suppl y advice and support for the Amiga.

The Courier is housed within a slender black casing with a spine of ridged air vents designed to cool the mechanism
without allowing too much dust to get in. It should be said that it leaves quite a large footprint compared to the other
modems reviewed.
As far as speed goes it compares admirably wit h its rivals, but it is the unusual additional features that justify the
Couriers higher price. On the other hand, its plastic casing was not as tough and secure as the metallic opposition.
Robotics are claiming that this is a 'V. everything' modem, and it certainly is uniquely versatile. Because it uses
protocols from Rockwell rather than the actual Rockwell chip set, they were able to make it compatible with both
Oast and v.32terbo modems.
To overcome the problems of poor quality telephone lines, the Courier has an Adaptive Speed Levelling (ASL)
feature. This means that, as with most modems. it will slow down if the phone line quality deteriorates.
ASL does more than this, however, because incoming and outgoing channels will adjust independently to line con-
ditions. In other words, if transmission is Impaired in one direction more than in the other, the modem will set up a
split baud rate Th e major limitation on this feature is that it only works with other machines supporting ASL, but it's
a bonus all the same.
If this wasn't enough, there's also a voice/data switch which is convenien-
tly mount ed on t he front, Ouickconnect f or faster handshaking wit h ot her
modems, and automatic tax/data detection.
This is the modem for the serious on-line user who wants all the best fea-
tures. Slightly more pricey than the other modems reviewed, it's still good
value if you want the extras. BABT approved

impressions count for something, and it
s to be said that the Sporster's exterior is
doing it no favours whatsoever. I couldn't
decide whether it looked more like a stylo-
phone or Barbie Doll's Hammond organ, but
one thing's for sure: It doesn't look like its
going break speed records.
It's aimed at the user who wants to plug in
and get on-line with the minimum of fuss_ so
inst allat ion i s s uppos ed t o be easy.
However, t hough there's a quick guide to
help, I didn't nd it any more accessible than
Most
On the plus side, it worked as efciently
and swiftly as any of its competitors on lest
and if the 14.4 is anything to go by it should
be perfectly reliable. The fact that it comes
with a ve-year warranty should give buyers
some condence_
It's also the smallest modem of all which
'could make it good news for users who are
already juggling a number of peripherals
around their Amiga. Furthermore, though the
LED lights may be unsightly, they are dearer
than t he indicators on some of t he ot her
modems.
Like the Courier, the Sporster has v.42 bis
as well as MNP 5 data compression that's
good news since the former type is appar-
ently more efcient. Though it's not as exi-
ble as its mere expensive stablemate when
it comes to backwards compatibility, we had
no problems roaming around the BBS sites.
As with all the other fax modems, if you
have t he right sof t ware you can use t he
Sporster to send fax messages directly from
the computer. This method is arguably bet-
ter for quality than using the standard fax
machine.
Despite its perfectly admirable specica-
tions, however, I can't help feeling that this
modern is currently ovemnced. It looks and
feels t acky, and unf ort unat ely t his isn' t
acceptable anymore. even in the low-end of
the market If, on the other hand, the price
falls then it will be worth a look for those
buyers who want t he reassur-
ance of a big name com-
pany in the back-
ground.

For anyone who is going to spend a lot of time on-line, we recommend that you get the
fastest modem you can afford, because the quicker your modem is, t he less money
you'll have to cough up for phone bills.
If, however, your access needs are more modest and you don' t fancy spending
upwards of E200, the slower modems are now going at very reasonable prices. Up until
recently they were all considered very fast, and most of them have the same features as
their swifter brothers.

be as simple as making a phone call to one of
the UK-based service providers such as
Almac, Demon, or Pipex, ordering an account
by credit card sale, and waiting a few hours for
the account to become active. It's then a mat-
ter of just phoning your service provider's clos-

attached directly to Internet) and typing in your
password.

F E A T U R E
Outrank mail
This is potentially one of the most complex areas of the
Internet, but at its most basic level it should also be the
easiest to grasp. Using an off-line mail program such as
Elm (one will always be provided by your home site with
the installation software), you can type huge letters or doc-
uments while disconnected, tell the program who it is to be
mailed to, then log on and kick the mail into action.
The actual sending is usually automatic. So long as the
message is created and saved in the default mail spooling
directory (set up when you install your software), the mes-
sage can be posted in seconds and will be passed from
site to site until it reaches its destination. The savings over
ordinary post or phone calls are dramatic, particularly if
you send long, detailed messages.
When you log on the mailer program can also be used
to download any messages you have received since your
last session. When you do receive a message, t he
Right, that's the simple stuff out of the way.
What next?
Internet, as we already know, consists of
thousands of computers and local networks
across t he world, and each has it s own
address. I magi ne t here was someone in
Europe who had information you needed for
a research project, but you didn't know the
person's address. It would cost a fortune to
try t he various places you might nd t his
person, and that's what wandering around
Internet can be like.
Without a list of 'sites' you wi l l end up
looking at a ashing prompt , scrat ching
your head whi l e t he phone bill assumes

dimensions. Most new users start to whizz
around all over the place. browsing through
the direct ories on t hose sit es t hey have
addresses for, but t he sensible way t o do
t hings is t o st ick wi t h your own service
provider to start with.
DIRECTORIES
Every service provider such as Demon
will have a public direct ory (normally just
called ' pub' ) and t here wi l l usually be a
' docs' s ub-di rec t ory c ont ai ni ng huge
amount s of usef ul inf ormat ion_ The rst
thing to do, then, is download all the help,
FAO (f requent ly asked quest ions), and
support les you can get your hands on.
Again, t here will usually be a list of UK
sites, and there are site lists and directories
available which have been compi l ed by
helpful experienced Internet users, Get your
hands on one of these (see Yellow Pages
panel), and read everyt hing before going
on-line and st art ing t o explore. Wi t hout
such a map your exploration will be fun, but
ultimately cosily and unproductive.
Unfortunately f or UK users, t he Internet
hasn't yet seen quit e as big a boom over
here as it has in the US, and the majority of
good sites in Britain are still to be found in
universities - but t his doesn' t mean you
have t o settle f or t aking up biochemistry
Phoning a site in any other part of the world
costs no more than the price of your call to
your service provider, and that's t he real
beauty of the system. By telling your Amiga
Howmuch

cost?
you want t o t alk t o an address such as
'wiretap.spies_com', you can be connected
within seconds at a local phone call rate,
despite t he fact that this site is actually i n
America.
Your service provider's machine makes
the link and off you go. It is this connectivity
that you pay for when you subscribe to one
sender's e-mail address will be attached, and you can
reply, using your mail program, by hitting the -
r e p l y ' k e y while reading the message - so you don't even have t o
type the other persons address.
A quick note on addresses: they look complicated, but
they aren't! To take tile Amiga Computing address as an
example, it looks like this:
The rst part is the name we use while on-line, followed
by a commercial ' a' signif ying ' at' , t hen t he name of
our service provider, i n t his case t he Ci X Compulink
bulletin board, followed by 'co' to tell us it's a commercial
company, then 'uk' for the country.
Though strange-looking to the new users, these e-mail
addresses are act ually simpler t han t he usual post al
addresses, and it won't be long before most company and
personal stationary Games an e-mail address as well as
the usual street, town, and postcode.
The biggest investment in the Internet is your Amiga, a
hard drive and a modem. If you have already splashed
the cash for the hardware. all you need is a phone and
about a t enner a month. Just choose from one of t he
many companies of f ering Internet connect ion t o UK
users and start exploring.
To decide which service to go with, you need to ask
yourself what you will be doing with your account. If all
you require is e-mail and connection to the thousands
of news groups around, you won' t be spending much
time on-line, but if you' re into the Mult i User Dungeon
(MUD) scene, you'll need a lot of cheap live time_
Some services offer a straight monthly subs lee and
no on-line charges, some offer cheaper subs but start
to charge extra af t er t he rst f ew hours. I n addition,
you might nd that you can dial in from a cable phone
link if you have cable TV in your area, and there are
enough sites that ordinary BT users (most of us) can
often nd a PoP i n t hei r local area whi ch can be
accessed at local rates.
If you live outside the major cities, don't be scared of

Anontimou5FIP
File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is t he most common
method of downloading and uploading les on t he
Internet. Where a site has a public area open to any-
one, the process is known as 'anonymous FTP' and
enables the user to download les without registering
with the sysop or using a special password.
Your Internet software will usually have FTP capa-
bility, but the Amiga doesn't have as many graphical
front-end programs as the PC at the moment . The
result is that you'll have to type the commands in for
yourself.
To do this, rst connect t o your Internet service
provider, wait until you have been logged on, then FTP
to the site of your choice (Perry Rover's site list is a
good place to start). This will sometimes be the name
of the site with 'ftp.' added to the beginning, sometimes
just the site name itself, but the format is always some-
thing like:
ftp ftpafemon.muk
ftp lipm,cybercafe.org
You will see a message like 'resolving www. cyber-
cate.org' followed by 'connecting to 123.456.78_90 port
21' depending on t he site's IP address, then you will
be asked to type a user ID. This is often just the word
'anonymous' (hence the name anonymous ftp), some-
times 'ftp' or 'user' (try thorn in that order), and you will
then be asked for a password. Type your full e-mail
address as given by your service provider and you will
usually be connected directly to the 'pub' directory.
From here you can use the fairly simple FTP com-
mands, such as DIR. CD, CDUP, and GET (tot down-
loading), and each FTP server will have on-line help
for each command. You can usually type ' help' fol-
lowed by the command, or just enter a question mark
for a list of the commands available.
From here on in it's up to you to nd and download
the les of your choice, but a good tip once you nd a
directory containing les you are interested in is to
download just t he . index or ,les t ext le and go
through this at your leisure while off-line.

Sue the language!
If the English language was ever threatened by computers, the ridiculous acronyms used by Internet users are a
prime murder suspect E-mail messages packed with cryptic nonsense such as B
-
r w ( B y T h e W a y ) ,
I M H O ( I n
M y
Honest/Humble Opinion) and so on are a throwback to the very early days when there were no off-line mail programs
and users were forced to type messages while the phone bill mounted.
Obsolete for years, these acronyms are still widely used, despite the fact that e-mail is almost always created
before logging on when there's plenty of time to make use of the world's most expressive language. Thousands of
sad comms anoraks still cling t o them, however, as the language of an exclusive furry collar club, and the new
Internet user can often feel obliged to follow suit.
Please resist the temptation! There are so many acronyms nowadays that you can actually nd 'dictionaries' of this
weird new language which has been called everything from 'cyberese" to 'interese'. Receiving a message full of the
damn things conjures up a particular image of the sender: 17-years old, spotty, sad, and desperately in need of a life.
You have been warned.

The mi snamed I nternet 'newsgr oups*
are wher e most of the on-l i ne acti vi ty
takes pl ace as far as i ndi vi dual users
are concerned, and you can have a real
giggle taki ng part i n them. I f your ser-
vice provider has a Usenet or news feed,
then the masses of messages added to
these gr oups every day will be down-
loaded to your home site, and you can
choose which groups to take news from.
Be advi sed t hat even wi t h a f ast
modem, it can take al most a full day to
downl oad all the newsgroups, so you'l l
have to be very selective! Many of them
are for the sci enti sts and academi cs
who once domi nated the I nternet, but
there are hundr eds of gr oups on sub-
jects r angi ng from cannabi s to sexual
fetishes and Monty Python (the latter of
which seems to combine the rst two!).
When you subscribe to a news group
(whi ch I s free), your I nternet software
will usually start to downl oad new mes-
sages automati cal l y when you l og on,
though you can choose t o manual l y
'ki ck' the news when you want. Once
downl oaded, you can vi ew the mes-
sages off-line usi ng a news reader, and
add your own messages, comment on
others, and so on. Savi ng your i nput to
disk, your news program then upl oads it
next time you l og on and everyone else
gets to read your comments.
You can nd yourself l ocked i n argu-
ment or di scussi on wi th peopl e from
across the gl obe, or swappi ng reci pes
with Austr al i ans and Peruvi ans i n no
ti me, and thi s i s pr obabl y the most
enjoyable, i nexpensi ve use for Internet.
You wi l l have to abi de by the r ul es,
t hough, a nd I f you br eak t hem by
becomi ng offensive, insulting, or merely
irrelevant (irrelevant messages cost as
much phone ti me to downl oad as oth-
ers), you will i ncur the wrath of every-
one on the news group.
Such 'ami ng' attacks can be j uve-
nile, elitist garbage from real ol d-fash-
i oned comma anor aks who don' t l i ke
'Newbies' (as new users are sometimes
Insultingly called) butti ng in on their ter-
ritory, but i f you started mouthi ng off
and swear i ng i n the pub, you woul d
receive somethi ng a l ot more physical.
Stick t o the poi nt, try not to act i n a
ci vi l i sed fashi on and you shoul d be
alright.
The bi ggest temptati on on I nternet.
whether usi ng e-mail or a news gr oup
(whi ch i s j ust a publ i c extensi on of e-
mail), is the anonymous nature of a key-
board. You can' t hear or see t he people
you're talking to, but they are real, they
do have feelings, and you shoul d treat
them the same as if you were talking to
them i n person. Hate mail hurts, folks,
so be nice to each other.

Macintosh Emulation Module
The Macintosh emulation module is a generic Macintosh with the speed of the emulation depending on the processor your Amiga is using A n A3000 is equiva-
lent to a MAC lici A n A4000 is equivalent to a Quadra 900. Support for up to 16 colours is provided for non AGA machines A4000 owners can use a full 256
colours' Up to 24 bit (16 million+) colours is supported using third party video boards such as: Picasso II, EGS-Spectrum, Vivid-24. Rainbow II. Rainbow III,
Visiona Paint, Merlin, Retina, Retina Z3. Piccolo, EGS110/24. and OpalVision! Bui l t in multiple le transfer allows for quick, easy transfers between the Amiga
and MAC emulation, Support for AmigaDOS devices, Scanners, CD ROM. MIDI, SyOuest removable drives. Printers. Modems etc Full stereo sound is supported
too! Requires Macintosh ROMs (not supplied).
E586DXs mEmulation Module
We are now in the nal testing stage! We have added the next generation CPU instruction set! The E586DX emulation module offers a high speed 5136DX (FPU,
MMU. and new instruction set) emulation wit h complete low-level architecture support, giving you the ability t o run DOS 0S12, NT, Windows ax, and even
Chicago! Support for MDA. CGA, EGA, VGA. SVGA video modes. sound, joysticks, oppy drives, hard drives, extended memory. and more!
The possibilities with a multi-platform machine are endless Now you can take advantage of a whole host of great software previously unavailable, and use them
to compliment each other. By upgrading your Amiga (extra memory, faster processor. etc) you instantly upgrade your emulation too!
Blittersoft are the exclusive European distributors for Utilities Unlimited We provide a full technical support service, as well as software upgrades.

0 magine, along wit h Real 3D, were
the f ormer kings of Amiga 3D art.
Indeed, t he general consensus still
swings in favour of I magine when it comes
to stills. But Lightwave moved in with its all-
singing, all-dancing options, f eat ures and
staggering end results and has become the
number one for the best animation.
Since then, and certainly in this magazine
as wel l , t he likes of I magi ne t end t o be
passed over when new software and hard-
ware for users of Lightwave appears. When
the Enhancer CD l anded i n my sweat y
palms at the recent World of Amiga show,
the images on the back cover sent a revital-
ising reminder of Imagine's excellence when
crafted in the right hands.
The silver disc contains objects, moving
textures, bitmaps and 3D fonts that can be
used by anyone prepared t o cough up t he
readies. Af t er witnessing some truly disap-
pointing 3D objects on a Lightwave package
the day bef ore, t he craf t manship of t he
Enhancer c ol l ec t i on was ex c eedi ngl y
impressive.
Al t he moment the instructions provided
are in German, but anyone with experience
of usi ng t he Ami ga i n conj unct i on wi t h
imagine shouldn' t have t oo much problem
picking up what needs to be done to load the
objects int o t he program. There are eight
sect ions' t o t he di sc i n al l - Obj ect s,
At t ribut es, 3D Font s, Re ect i onmaps ,
Backdrops, Demos and a Gallery to wander
around to get a better idea of what your end
results could look like,
SELECTIONS
A small selection of the 12 3D items con-
sist of various f orms of transport - f rom a
Benetton racing car and stock car to a pick-
up truck, and even a t ime machine as seen
in the lm version of HG Wells classic novel.
The attention to detail is rst rate, with each
component movable, f or example, wheels
and doors.
The majority of objects, though, are made
up of 100 household it ems ranging f rom
lampshades and video recorders t o sofas
and cabinets. Like, the vehicles, it's possible
to manoeuvre part s of t he main object t o
your customised design. For instance on a
cabinet, doors can be taken out or opened
for that nishing touch.
Glancing t hrough a majorit y of t he 100
items, i t ' s clear t hat t he designers have
spent t ime and effort getting t he right look

It has to be sai d that the Enhancer CO
Is a cl assy pr oduct that can onl y do
Imagine good. There were a few prob-
lems runni ng the di sk on versi on 3.1
when r ender i ng a vehi cl e, and t he
computer needed to be tol d exactl y
where to nd a parti cul ar br ush vi a
the attr i butes menu. Annoyi ng but
solvable all the same.
If you have I magi ne and it's gather-
ing dust in software-cupboard obscu-
rity whi l e Li ghl wave i mpresses your
friends, colleagues and George Lucas.
Enhancer i s sure to rai se a few eye-
brows and put I magi ne back on the
map as the number one 30 stills' cre-
ator. Hi ghl y recommended but coul d
do with a price drop of C15-20.
Looking in the gallery, which has been pro-
vided to show Imagine's real power at gen-
erating still images, t hese backdrops look
very effective with photo-realistic graphics.
Finally, 50 f rames of animat ion maps
have been included to help create gleaming
or glit t ering on an object when in move-
ment. These 50 frames can be changed to
suit a particular scene's needs. A O I T

realise how you possibly coped
without a le manager before once
you've had one up and running. The likes of
Directory Opus have been setting the stan-
dard f or a whi l e now, equalling t heir PC
equivalents admirably.
Like all healt hy market places, t here' s
always the opportunity for a young upstart to
push it s way t o t he t op of a buyer' s list.
Optonica are obviously one company hoping
to do just that with InfoNexus, claiming that it
is easier to use, takes less conguring and is
more powerf ul t han t he agship Directory
Opus.
Like all le managers. the main bulk of the
screen in InfoNexus is taken up by two win-
dows, each one being able t o show any
drives contents that your machine may have.
Running along the bottom of the interface are
a series of buttons, some of which regular
users of Directory Opus will be familiar with,
Copy, move, clone. lter, rename and make
dir, among others, areinstantly accessible.
New for InfoNexus are the special pop and
roll menus. Accessed by pressing and hold-
ing the right-hand mouse button down, a strip
of menus appear wherever your mouse
pointer is on t he screen. There are six t o
choose f rom in all - Project, Preis, Files,
Media, Functions and Network. The Network
feature is highly useful and, unlike Directory
Opus, comes f ully congured f or mult iple
users. It offers direct support for Envoy net-
works which require a little conguring to get
up and running when accessing t hrough
Directory Opus - with InfoNexus. it's immedi-
ately accessible.
ACCESSING
Ot her mac hi ne har d dri ves c an be
accessed, mail can be sent back and forth,
mail direct ories creat ed and an opt ion is
available t o grab whatever is on t he ot her
machine's screen at the time.
InfoNexus's main strength though are its
graphics display and sound capabilities. The
package comes provided with its own view
program that can show many of the picture
formats I pumped through it. Again, Directory
Opus has to be congured to hunt out the rel-
evant viewer program for the likes of 24-bit
images, and then use it to display the image.
In other words, InfoNexus has a very basic
AdPro-like facility that can display Jpegs.

One of the most annoyi ng omi ssi ons
from both programs is the lack of auto-
matic detection between a DOS and an
Amiga disk. I nstead of pushi ng i n the
disk and the program detecting the dif-
ference and adj usti ng accordingly, the
user has to select the right format for
himself.
It mi ght sound like an unnecessary
and downr i ght l azy opti on but when
you're handling a large number of differ-
ently formatted disks, it woul d come i n
handy. I'm glad I got that off my chest.

HamEts, PC BMP les, 24-bit images and oth-

tralised window. I wasn't always convinced by
some of the images I got back from the pro-
gram - when comparing them in AdPro using
the same screen set-ups, InfoNexus's image
quality on a PC BMP is not of a higher stan-
dard and t here was evidence of dit hering
distortion.
There was also a problem encount ered
when a st andard HAM animat ion le was
played back - a distorted image appeared in
the centre of the screen and the animation
played on the lefthand side. Hopefully, these
problems will be rectied in future upgrades.
Optonica take note.

ability t o store previously visited directories
and l es i n a cache, so accessing any
favourite and constantly-in-use directories is
very quick.
The program's main problem though is its
speed, I nf oNexus, even runni ng on an
4000/040, is not as quick as you'd expect it to
be when compared t o the likes of Directory
Opus. Funct ions such as copying one le
across to another directory can lake an age
when compared with its nearest rival

congure unless you want to dene your own

tool for beginners, one can't help but feel the
package lacks the sheer power and versatility
of Directory Opus, which albeit does require
some reconguring.
InfoNexus is a cheaper piece of kit by
some E20 though, so if you' re a rst-time

or musician. then Optonica's user-friendly. if

robably one of the biggest ironies of
Amiga graphics is that much of its
creative pot ent ial has t radit ionally
been shrouded in a vial of complexity, which
for the magority of users left many of the best
creative opportunities just out of reach.
A classic example of this peculiar situation
is the ARexx dependency of the giants of
Amiga image processing, namely ADPro
and I mageFX. Even though both systems
offer huge potential for videographers and
animat ors alike, act ually exploit ing t heir
respective assets traditionally involved an in-
depth understanding of ARexx.
Unfortunately, artistic talent and program-
ming skill rarely go hand in hand. As result,
the potential of both systems has rarely been
in the hands of those who've needed it most.
It's t rue t hat product s like ProCont rol
and Mul t i f r ame do of f er a poi nt and
click approach t o certain batch processing
problems.
However, neither offer a complete solution
to the problem of generating the digital video
effects or DVEs that both programs are obvi-
ously c apabl e of . Fort unat el y, Pr i me

Software have now added a third piece to the
IP gigsaw wit h t he launch of Mult iLayer.
Unlike its counterparts, it doesn't simply auto-
mate t he process of f ormat conversion or
special effects, but rather concentrates on the
effortless production of DVEs.
After the ubiquitous Commodore installa-
tion, initial loading reveals a daunting inter-
face consi st i ng of an endl ess array of
requesters. However, after a quick excursion
through t he tutorial the f og soon clears to
reveal what is in fact an exceptionally well
though out and friendly interface.
COMPOSITOR
Okay, what lurks beneath this sea of con-
trols and windows? In short, the ultimate digi-
tal compositor. I n its present f orm the soft-
ware doesn't accommodat e the myriad of
operators and hooks within both I mageFX
and ADPro, a factor which obviously negates
the use of tumbling perspectives, twirls, rota-
tions and so on. For many this will mean that

MultiLayer. like its counterparts, still falls
short of the all in one DVE system they've
been dreaming of However, even with the
present limitations ML is still in a league ot its
own when it comes to automated composi-
tion and layering of animated images.
I must admit the lack of a support for the
various FX is a slight let down, but it's still
early days f or a program which already
boasts a ghosted effects option in the pull-
downs.
Obviously, the plan is to follow up this ini-
tial release with updates which will add this
naly and all important element to the equa-
tion. As a result , any woul d be invest or
should wast e no t i me i n ret urni ng t he
enclosed registration card.
It all sounds very clever, but what does it
actually do, and why? MultiLayer is the rst
IP add-on which allows point and click cre-
ation of animated multi-layered compositions
using either single frame or animated image
sequences.
In fact, the software will happily composite
as many as 99 images or image sequences
- either 24-bit or otherwise - into a single
frame, which can then be saved in any for-
mat either ImageFX or ADPro supports.
In addition to simple layered composition,
each of the 99 images' layers can be made
to glide across t he screen f rom a user-
dened A to B position - using either linear
mot ion or a combinat ion of ease-in and
ease-out.
Add to that user dened enveloped trans-
parency control and the iceberg of possibili-
ties slowly begins to rise up from the depths.

Of course it could be argued that simply ying
dozens of 24-bit rect angles around t he
screen - although impressive - does lack a
little subtlety. As a result, the designers have
also added built-in Luma, chrome. chrome
range, 0-Black keying options.
However, t he really classic touch is the
inclusion of truly spectacular alpha channel
support As mentioned earlier, each of the 99
image layers can hold either a single frame or
a sequence. The same is also true for alpha
images.
Better still, you can even mix alpha and
image formats. For example, you could have
static images with an animated alpha_ End
result - the most amazing wipes and fades
imaginable. Alternatively, you could use an
alpha to smoothly rotoscope live or rendered
footage over another image or sequence_
With the huge number of images and con-
trol opt ions, keeping everyt hing in hand
would seem a nightmare. However, that's not
the case. Alt hough t here' s a prof usion of
request ers requi red f or each layer, t he
designers have done an excellent job of sim-
plifying the controlprocess.
Every time you select a new layer all the
requesters instantly update wit h the info for
that particular layer. As a result, controlling
gigabytes of imagery is simplicity itself.
Basically, t he ent ire syst em revolves
around a timeline which sts all the frames to
be processed. Beneath each frame a small
icon denotes which layers are active in that
particular frame. In addition, a preview screen
also shows the active layers and it's f rom
here you can dene the animation - if any -
for each layer.
CONTROLS
Accompanying the preview is a small con-
trol screen which provides basic VCR con-
trols for playback and testing, plus assorted
options to help set up the animation for each
layer. Again, simply selecting a part icular
layer in the timeline activates the related rec-
tangle on the preview screen, ready for drag
and drop editing.
The actual layers also enjoy yet more edit-
ing options back in the timeline requester. As
the name suggests, layers literally e one on
top of the next. However. with the aid of the
assorted cut, paste and copy options you can
move any layer back and forth along the line
- thereby introducing it earlier or later in the
overall production.
You can also move a particular image up
or down the stack, copy or swap it to another
layer, or remove it entirely_ In short, complete
control over where, when and how any layer
will appear.
The real beaut y of t he syst em is t hat
although you may be working with massive
amounts of data, the program and its accom-
panying IP package only ever needs enough
memory to load and compose the largest sin-
gle layer you've specied - as each frame is
composed and saved one step at a time.

!Wive comppndium
For those who may be a little hazy on the ner points of the assorted
keying options, here' s a brief rundown of the affect each keying
format has on the comeosihng process.
None - Not surprisingly this option simply adds the new layer as
is, the end result being a simple rectangular static or y-by either
with or without a straightforward transparency fade.
Al pha - Basically, an alpha image is a 256 greyscale which affects
the transparency of its accompanying layer based on the relative
br i ghtness of the i mage. An enti r el y whi te ar ea woul d be
completely opaque while darker regions would become increasing
transparent.
In short the most versatile, subtly and powerful keying option on
offer. Rather than simply doing a direct replacement of a particular
colour or range, an alpha provides a exible transparency lter
which can of course can be animated to generate a super smooth
key over the image.
Better still, there's no restriction of the size or format of the
images you use for alpha channelling. If any adjustments or coil-
versions are required it's all done automatically.
Luma - Provides an easy, i f less accurate form of alpha chan-
nelling. Essentially, the software generates its own al pha image
based upon the brightness of the image i n that particular layer.
Perfectly acceptable if, for example, you wanted to key some live
footage that had been shot over a backdrop.
Chr ome - In short, the ultimate genlock. Like its analog hardware
generated counterpart, chroma simply takes the col our you've
selected and makes it totally transparent.
To assist the process a small requester is enabled to allow the
selection of the precise RGB colour you require. Obviously this
differs from traditional anal og chrome keyinglgeolocking in that
you're generating a truly digital key which provides the ultimate in
keying accuracy.
Chr ome r ange - Not surprisingly this is almost identical to the
basic chrome. the only difference bei ng that you're provided with
additional RGB selectors with which to specify a range or band of
colours, rather than an individual.
0-Bl ack - This one's been thrown i n for added convenience. It
simply keys Out colour zero from the selected layer. Guile handy if
you've rendered an image or sequence on black and need a quick
way to key the image onto a backdrop without ddling with the
RGB settings in the chroma option.
As you've probably already gathered, I'm very impressed. MultiLayer
is one of the few truly unique pieces of software on the market. And
what makes it even more unique is its ability to inspire_ Most programs
offer a solution to a particular problem, however in MultiLayer's case
the more you think about and use the package the more applications
spring to mind. Obviously the program' s existing limitations wit h
regard to IP operators and hooks which generate special effects is
mildly disappornting. However, this should be at least partially put right
with the next update_
On a practical level, my only complaint is the strictly linear approach
to layer animation. It would be nice if you could generate complex
motion paths more easily, although with a little thought, combined with
the various cut, copy and paste, you can at least simulate more com-
plex movement . Leaving t hese rat her nit -picking point s aside,
MultiLayer is nothing short of an IP masterpiece. If you've already got
a copy of Image or ADPro it's an essential investment,

seems t here' s no end t o t he
explosion of serious CDs f or the
Amiga. Although formerly the pre-
serve of t he PC, t he growi ng hoard of
Amiga-specic CDs is quite literally chang-
ing the way many enthusiasts are using the
machines.
Now t he backdrop brigade have t aken
the logical step and ventured into the world
of animat ion. At t he forefront of this new
wave was a Pyromania CD f rom VCE inc.
This product brought Hollywood-qualit y
pyrotechnics to t he desktop wit h a collec-
t ion of expl osi ons and re sequences
which lit erally t ook t he serious animat ion
world by storm_
Following in the footsteps of this revolu-
tionary release comes the Moving Textures
100. As part of t he collection you receive
22 ready-to-use texture sequences for use
in 20 or 3D productions.
Unlike the Pyromania collection, t he MT
100 series has already been rendered as
256 colour IFF images. However, this may
not be great news f or the purists who are
more at home with a true 24-bit image.
It must be said t hough t hat the overall
qual i t y of al l t he s equenc es r emai ns
impressive. Obviously this rendering down
to 256 has one major advantage, namely a
massive reduction in storage space.
As a c ons equenc e, e a c h o f t h e
sequences boast s ei t her 300, 600 or a
massive 900 f rames - easily enough f or
even the most extravagant animation - and
remember, t her e a r e n o l es s t h a n
22 sequences on t he CD, split int o t wo
categories.
Within t he Tru Maps drawer you're pro-
vided wi t h t wo versions of a t ime-lapse
Cloud ani mat i on, crackling re, smoot h
burning ames, crisp ocean wat er, bub-
bling stream and slow moving smoke_
In t he second direct ory, ent i t l ed FX
Maps. await s boiling, burst, calm, disturb,
jiggle, liquid, pour, rough, spots, swift, tide,
and nally, four water vanants.
All this sounds just a little bit too good to
be true, doesn't it. Well unfortunately it is -
at least when it comes t o t he size of t he
images on offer.
Although rendering down to 256 may be
a compromise that many videographers will

be willing to accept. I' m not sure the man-
ufacturer's choice of available resolutions
will do the product too many favours.
In what appears to be a drastic attempt
to maximise storage space, the sequences
have been scaled down dramatically, wit h
the worst examples being t he FX Maps
collection, all of which have been reduced
to a minuscule 192 x 120. Fortunately, the
Tru Maps range fairs a little better with a
standard image size of 320 x 200,
SCALING
Obviously, not all video graphic produc-
tions require full-screen image maps, but
having said that, I feel scaling down to just
192 x 120 is taking things a little too far,
Although the manual and accompanying
bumph claim that the collection is aimed at
both 2D and 3D animators, it s pretty obvi-
ous from both resolutions and subject mat-
ter that the target audience is primarily the
modelling community.
Although t he resolutions make t he col-
lection less useful f or 2D and mult imedia
work, it's not quite as big a problem for 3D
applications.
Fortunately, most 3D packages of f er
some form of anti-aliasing and a means of
minimising pixelisation either as standard
or as an opt ion. Add t o t hat t he abilit y
to t i l e i mages and y ou hav e a great
deal more exibilit y t han t radit ional 2D
animation.
This leaning t owards 3D is made even
more pronounced by t he inclusion of a
small print ed sheet which det ails how t o
employ t he t ext ures wi t hi n Li ghl wave,
Imagine3.0, Aladdin4D and Real 3D.

The i mage qual i ty of al l t he textur es on offer
is very impressive. I n fact even when the i mages
are doubl ed i n si ze the qual i ty r emai ns qui te
acceptable,
However, 1'm sure the questi on of resolution will
put many a pro animator off a CD whi ch i n every
other respect i s a useful weapon i n the growi ng
armoury of 3D add-ons.
Personally I'd much rather the collection offered
fewer i mage sequences i n better resol uti ons, or
better still, the same number of sequences wi th
fewer frames per sequence.
Remember, the smallest sequence in the collec-
tion offers MHO frames of animation, whi ch If used
in its entirety woul d generate a full 12 seconds of
animation.
In my exper i ence thi s woul d be mor e t han
enough for most effects. After al l how often have
you rendered a 24 or 36 second - 600 or 900 frame
- ani mati on whi ch uses a si ngl e camera angl e
thr oughout Why not make all the sequences 300
or 400 frames l ong wi th a mi ni mum resol uti on of
320 x 200?
Movi ng Textures 100 i sn't wi thout its faults, but
it must be sai d the images themselves aren't one
of them. As a result I'll leave the buying decision in
your safe hands. All i n al l a good product which,
with a little more thought, coul d have been groat.

I own an 4500 runni ng Workbench 1. 2 and wi t h 3Mb of RAM. Your
CoverDisks are gradually cont aining less and less sof t ware t hat I can
use. I n t he last six mont hs, t he only programs of any use t o me were
CanDo2 and DMSWorkBench.
A few others work but are of no use to me, and some will work alt er I
have made a few alterations (using ReSource and DevPac3). If, as you
claim, your lack of support f or out-of-date machines is due t o a lack of available soft-
ware, then how come Amiga Shopper can give me a CoverDisk each mont h packed full
of PD/Shareware, almost all of which works?
Admittedly, I do not get any commercial software f rom them, but, in my experience,
PD/ Shareware utilities are often much more useful t han commercial products anyway
because once you have a decent set of programming tools (e.g. DevPac, Resource), a
spreadsheet, a word-processor, a dat abase and an art package, t here is very lit t le
commercial software of any use to you.
The new design of your magazine is a disaster, Far from the praise Denny Atkin gives
your art editor (ESP, Jan '95), I would be very much inclined to sack him.
Surely the aim of any font is to be read easily, and the font you now use for headings
is not easy to read. Neither does it look good. The word Amiga on the front of the maga-
zine used to be the same on every Amiga magazine in the shops.
You're the only magazine to have changed it to an out-of-date one, and I don't know
why you did it. The logo on all the ot her magazines and your old one is an almost exact
copy of the word on my computer.
Your new logo certainly makes your magazine stand out from the rest - but not in the
way it should, I say it should because t he cont ent of t he magazine it self is act ually
better than any ot her magazine_
If you want to be sure of getting my subscription renewed next t ime it runs out. I sug-
gest you scrap the new layout, have more on programming and less on graphics, and
put more useful utilities on the CoverDisk.
If you do t his t hen your magazine wi l l be perfect, and my subscript ion t o Ami ga
Shopper will not be renewed.
Having said that. CanDo2 has already proved to be useful as have your articles about
Amiga repairs - I had two damaged mice, and after about 30 minutes and 2 later, they
now both work.

OK. you've got a poi nt concerni ng the 1. 2 compati bi l i ty, but as you've al ready

The real issue is not t he lack of 1.2 compat i bl e sof t ware on our CoverDisks, but

As for your comments concerni ng commerci al software, I admi t you may be
right on occasion. Cert ai n shareware and PD releases are j ust as good, i f not
better, t han t heir commercial count erpart s.
However, t hanks t o t he ckle at t it ude of t he buyi ng publ i c a ' wort h 100' ash

Alas, s uperi or edi t ori al does not ensure superi or sales. I f you don' t pl ay t he

regardless of editorial content.
I get a feel i ng you're not particularly keen on the new l ook of the mag. Well, as
you qui t e ri ght l y poi nt ed out , it does make t he mag st and out f rom t he crowd -
which in our opi ni on isn' t exactly a bad t hing.

t hink t he exist ing mi x is f airly good, we already have mont hl y support f or Amos.

I rec ent l y i nv es t ed i n a copy of t he
Christ mas issue of Ami ga Comput i ng
which carried the Easy Amos CoverDisk.
Finding t he CoverDisks t o be of great
int erest I t hen read t he advert isement
inside t he magazine f or t he Easy Amos
Manual, but coul d nd no address t o
send an order.
Yesterday I phoned I DG to ask for the
address f rom which t o order a copy, but
was t old that, due t o heavy demand, it
was s ol d out and t hat t here wer e no
plans for a re-print,
If there is to be no re-print of this man-
ual, could you please t ell me if t here is
any ot her source, so that one may make
full use of the Easy Amos programming
language.

Alas I 'm afrai d the answer i s no. As
st at ed by t he di s embodi ed v oi c e at
IDG, t he demand has been huge and
as a result we've sold out.
Unf or t unat el y, i t ' s a l s o hi ghl y
unl i kel y Eur opr ess Softwar e - t he
authors of Easy Amos - will have any
in stock, as we made a bul k buy of
thei r r emai ni ng st ock pr i or t o t he

Worst still, i t's very unl i kel y there

I noticed that in your January issue you published a
letter f rom someone complaining about CoverDisk
incompatibility with Workbench 1.3.
I have the same problem, so when I recently bought
your sister mag, Amiga Action, specically to get hold
of a give-away cheat disk, I was not pleased to disco-
ver that it didn't work on Workbench 1.3 after reporting
to be compatible with all Amigas.
I was about t o writ e t hem a stroppy let t er when I
noticed among the Amiga Computing adverts one from

Due to the pressure to run commercial
software on the CoverDisk, it has been

Al though far from ideal, we're afraid

article on Cybersex As a woman. I frequently nd
myself reading this or that article - in almost every
woman's magazine - promoting sexual exploration
and particularly masturbation as a means to gain-
ing condence in the bedroom.
To me, Cybersex would be a great technological
advancement t o t his idea, provi di ng men and
women wit h both an exciting and highly pleasur-
able way of discovering their sexual needs.
The art icle does t ouch upon t he danger of
Cybersex in creating an Increasingly isolated atti-
tude t owards sex, i n t hat people wi l l enjoy t he
computerised version more than the real thing.
On t he contrary. I believe t hat t he emot ional
involvement of a serious sexual relat ionship will
always intensify the sexual experience to a degree
far out weighing t echnological capabilit ies. The
exciting prospect of Cybersex is that it will liberate
people's condence and sense of advent ure i n
their relationships; wit h any luck men and women
will f eel t hat t hey can ask f or exactly what t hey
want from their partner.
I only hope f or one thing; t hat such ideas as
Cybersex won' t be crushed under the ridiculous
arguments churned Out by those who essentially
fear anything to do with sexual adventure. Women,
in particular, have been sexually repressed for far
too long.
Even today, we nd that it is women who try to
hide the fact that they masturbate because we feel
strangely ashamed of t he fact. Pl ease, please,
lets keep the clocks moving forwards and accept
such great innovations as cybersex.
Only t hen might we see people nally t earing
themselves away f rom the vast sexual inhibitions
that plague every one of us.

I t E r , f rom this question, you will quickly ascer-
fain I'm very new to this Amiga computer busi-
ness, in fact. I'm new to computers penod. Just
what is kickstart?
D. Erikson, Wolverhampton
Hi ke 'em si mpl e (the questi ons that is).
Ki ckstart is simply that part of the Amiga's
operati ng system (OS) whi ch i s hel d i n
ROMs ( Read Onl y Memor y). i nsi de your
Ami ga. The r est i s contai ned on the good ' ol
Workbench disks.
Thi s makes i t much si mpl er and easi er t o
upgrade and x problems t o t he operat ing system
than it would be if the OS was cont ained complet -
ely in ROMs. Such a hardware and disk-based sys-
tem is essential f or powerf ul mult it asking systems
which the Amiga provides.
I've used PCs f or some time now and believe me,
even mult it asking operat ing syst ems available f or
the PC don' t come close t o t he reliabilit y and ease
of use of the Amiga OS.
There are various Kickstart versions around, wit h
A500s having eit her 1.3 or 2.04, Ami ga 600s have
2.04 or 2.05 and Al 200s and A4000s have 3.0. The

I have recently bought an Al 200 after seeing
my friend playing ight simulator games, such
as A10 Tank Killer and Tornado.
However, A10 i s sl ower on my machi ne and
Tornado is almost unplayable. My friend has an A4000
so I expect the games to run faster on that, but I wasn't
expecting such a drast ic loss in speed on a 68020
Al 200. What is t he best course of act ion t o speed
things up
M, Strickland
I woul d guess that you have an unex-
panded Al 200. Simply addi ng extra mem-
ory via the trapdoor (not PCMCI A memory
cards) will al most doubl e the speed of your
machine.
Also, many of today's memory upgrade boards
come wi th maths coprocessor sl ots for 68881 or
68882 chips. These will also add extra speed to the
maths routines which many ight sims use.
For ul ti mate power , a 68030 accel er ator wi l l
really make everything y (pun absolutely intended).
Of course. these are much more expensi ve than
simple memory upgrades, but are worth it.
Check out the many adverts in thi s issue for the
best prices on memory upgrades and accelerators.

I am a newcomer to the Ami ga
scene and have had my Al200 for
- about four weeks now. I am one of
those people who like t o leave the
manual in the box and start experimenting in
order to learn. After much experimentation
with the various Workbench utilities which
are on my hard drive, I now nd that my
Al 200 seems to be operating much more
slowly.
Whenever I open a drawer, t he icons
seem t o take much longer to appear than
they did when I rst installed Workbench.
Also, simply moving windows around t he
screen seems slower. Why is this happening
and how can I x it?

your screen to 256 col ours. I n
the Prefs drawer, double-click on
the ScreenMode icon and you will see a
slider control for the number of col ours
(or colors as our American friends spell
it).
Set this to a lower number (not two as
your Wor kbench wi l l l ook awful ) and
click on the Save button. You will nd
things are much nippier now.
If y ou r eal l y want a 256 col our

1 1 ) ollowing the success of Animation
4 W o r k s h o p , t he creat ors of such
highly regarded graphic utilities as
Pixel Pro have developed the new version,
Ani m2. A c o- or di nal i ng pac k age t hat
removes t he need f or using mult iple pro-
grams, this new version promises to bring
creative plans to life.
Axiom's main aim was to create a power-
ful software package which could be used
with the minimum of technical difculty. For
that reason a lot of ef f ort has gone int o
making t he program' s f unct ions easi l y
accessible.
The rst noticeable difference is that t he
interface has been redesigned. On booting
Anim2 the user is presented with a similarly
functional control screen, but it has been
rened to display the new version's greater
range of features in Hi-res.
Organised int o six work sections, Anim2
can be mouse or keyboard driven. Because
all t he opt ions are on-screen t here' s no
need t o go searching t hrough pul l -down
menus, and t his alone makes f or great er
simplicity of use.
The key worki ng area i s t he l e list .
because it ' s here t hat individual i mages
or animat ion sequences can be swapped
and c ombi ned t o c r eat e y our ov eral l
presentation.
ALTERED ANIMS
Any completed animation can be edited,
with the program allowing the user to insert
and delete sequences to order. It's all easily
done, wit h delet ion accomplished by t ag-
ging each individual frame; however, a way
of tagging a string of frames at once would
have been welcome.
Anim2's value is f ounded largely on t he
fact that the software features good support
for ARexx, t he Amiga' s powerf ul program-
ming language Thi s means that t he pack-
age can be used wit h ot her products sup-
porting ARexx, or with programs that users
write themselves.
Its important to emphasise that Anim2 is
not a stand-alone program. However, unlike
its predecessor, t hi s versi on support s
I mageFX as wel l as ADPr o. and t he
process for communicating with these pack-
ages is totally automated.
Once an animation is created, it's possi-
ble t o convert it int o ot her resolut ions or
colours, reverse, ip, or scale it. On t op of
I ncluded on the data disk is ATF Agility, an
wilinated short from Erik Schwartz giving
you an idea of what can be achieved
Tutorial. h PVC been
included in the
package I n which

introduction to a
show star r i ng Di na
Rnntra dimen5ion
Music and sound effects are indispensible f or many animations,
and the facilities for adding audio are one of Anim2's advantages.
Accessing the current frame information requester allows the user
to add, edit or delete all the animation's sound cues.
Anim2 allows you to choose from the Amiga's four sound chan-
nels and set priorities f or each one. Setting a channel f or fore-
ground sound works well for spot audio effects, while background
sounds repeat and are good f or looping music throughout t he
animation.
It's also possible t o modif y t he foreground and background
options so that they interrupt or give priority to a sound begun in a
previous frame. Add to this the volume control and the fact that
Anim2 now supports .Audio les for working with older style anima-
tion players, and the sound facilities begin t o look very useful
despite their simplicity.
The animation is accompanied by cartoon
sound effects, a ll of which can be easily
applied to the right frames using Anim2
Ami ga Co mp u t i n g

that, any ADProilmageFX operator can he
applied such as ADPro' s Antique. Blur or
Line Art processes.
When viewing t he animat ion, a cont rol
panel can be called up at the bottom of the
screen. As well as the basic play and pause
functions, it's here that f rames are t agged
so that effects can be added. This means,
for exampl e, t hat t he user can choose
exactly the right point to add a sound effect.
For those interested in comput er model
animations, Anim2 can be used to creat e
an animation 'on the y' while a 3D program
like Li ght wav e r ender s eac h i mage.
However, t he problem is that Anim2 takes
up a f air amount of memory and t his will
slow the rendering process down.
Speed of playback is alt ered using the
function keys, each one representing a dif-
f erent f rame per second (FPS) rat e. I t
should be noted that because some anima-
tions have large changes in t he images
from f rame t o frame, you may not always
get an anim to play back at the f rame rate
you set, but at least t he control panel will
let you know if you're getting the speed you
desire.
PARAMETERS
Back on t he mai n int erf ace. t here' s a
panel allowing you to add text to the anima-
tion. However, this is only really useful for
adding i nf ormat i on about t he aut hor' s
name, notes or a copynght.
A st rong point f or t he package is t he
number of tools available. Important for the
videographer, f or example. is t he range of
parameters t hat can be set up using t he
convert and batch convert tools.
Using a simple requester, you can alter
the number of colours used, the resolution.
overseen (horizontal/vertical, or both) and
the size of the viewport used for the anima-
tion. There are also variable settings f or
monitor types and for dithering.
File management tools are more exible
The control panel can be called
up at anytime simply by pressing

Move les as they are used', a tool which
can move selected les to a specied direc-
tory and rename it in the process.
Overlay is a new tool which will take the
current loaded animat ion and composite it
on top of the les in the le list on a frame
by frame basis Thi s is a big boost for cre-
ativity, because animated text for titles can
be overlaid on top of a background moving
sequence.
This feature is again controlled by its own
requester, giving t he user t he opt ion t o
select t ransparency f or cert ain overlaid
colours, or to centre the foreground anima-
tion over the background animation.
Anot her new f eat ure I s Ti me, whi c h
allows you to stretch or squeeze an anima-
tion by displaying t he current f rame count
and asking for a desired frame count. This
procedure alters the animation so that it ts
into the new frame count.
The Histogram tool can be used to deter-
mine whet her or not you can convert an
animat ion int o f ewer colours i n order t o
make it smal l er and f ast er playing. For
example, if there's an animation that loads
as a 32 colour animation, t he histogram will
analyse it to see how many unique colours
are used; if it's 16 or less a faster anim can

What's new ?
Those of you who have the Anim Workshop coverdisk (Feb ' 95
issue 83) may want to know what you get with the upgrade, so here's
the comprehensive list:
Full AGA support for Al200 and A4000 machines.
Anirn7 and Anim8 animation formats. These new Anim formats use
32-bit encoding to play back at top speed.
FixAnim utility to x old animations created using old op-5 animation
programs such as VideoScape 2.0.
New Hi-res interface wit h pop-up menus f or easy selection of
multiple choice options.
Support f or I mageFX in addit ion t o ADPro image processing
features.
Improved le list management. It is now possible to load a list of
les using multiple astehsk vvildcard characters. For instance, *st ars*
is able to load a list of images containing the string 'stars somewhere
in the name.
Improved ARexx support.
Included ARexx programs for processing images/animations.
Author text information can be embedded into the animation le.
This allows copyright and author information to be encoded directly
into the animation le.
New Offset. Overlay and Time tools.
Supports .Audio les for working with older style animation players
that support this feature.

will divide a presentation into smaller ani-
mation segments.
I do have one gripe. Al E80 a buyer
should expect high quality supporting doc-
umentation of the standard you get from a
company like Digita International.
Unf ort unat ely. what you act ually get
from Axi om is a very shabby effort. The
manual's act ual cont ent s are all reason-
ably helpf ul, but t he f act t hat it is hel d
t oget her by t hree key ri ngs l eaves me
wondering how long it will be before impor-
tant pages fall Out and go missing.
Fi nal l y, a wor d of war ni ng when i t
comes t o installation. There is a registra-
tion procedure that seems to be exception-
ally vulnerable to mistakes. You only get
one chance t o get it right, so any buyer
had bet t er read t he accompanying . read
me le very carefully.
A processing package aimed at Ami ya
animation was always goi ng to have an
appeal, and fortunately there has been a
considerable increase in the software's
power and exi bi l i ty i n thi s l atest
version.
The new Hi -res i nter face had too
many functi ons crowded on-screen to
be instantly appealing, but the fact that
the user gets instant access to all com-
monly-used features more than makes
up for this problem in the long run.
This is not to say that the package is
not wi thout pr obl ems. Ther e' s that
I nsul t of a manual for one, and our
review copy di dn't seem entirely stable
when we got it up and running.
However, these are not the sort of
compl ai nts to take too seriously. The
price may put the package out of most
fun users' league, but anyone with more
ser i ous cr eati ve pl ans shoul d nd
Anim2 highly appealing.

ince its launch a couple of years
ago, Wordwol h has been the lead-
ing UK-coded Amiga ofce pack-
age, and the look and feel developed for its
impressive modern i nt erf ace has been
echoed in other Digita products or copied by
competitors. Now, Digit a have t aken t he
con-driven. point-and-click style and applied
it to their latest package, Datastore.
The database market hasn't seen much in
the way of new entries for a while ri9VV, and
it's refreshing t o see a UK software house
prepared t o launch a home ofce program
into a market whi ch has seen so much
uncertainty since last summer's Commodore
crash, Sharing t he same general approach
as Wordwort h 2, Dat ast ore has t o be t he
most modern-looking Ami ga dat abase, if
nothing else.
As a bonus, t he program is much more
accessible than its heavyweight Wordsmit h
twin. Coming on just one disk and designed
to work wit h both oppies and hard drives
(unlike Wordwort h 2). Dat ast ore is a pro-
gram for almost any Amiga. It will run happ-
ily on a standard Al200, and even users of
1Mb A500s (remember t hem?) shouldn' t
feel left Out in the cold so long as they have
Kickstart 2.04.
FRONT-ENO
Installation is quick and simple, and it isn't
long before the program's neat custom front-
end pops up on screen. At this point, t he
new user will not ice t he by now st andard
Digita icon bar down t he left-hand side of
the screen which offers common commands
you'd normally have t o access a menu t o
, reach. The main screen is a simple design
grid sport ing a oat ing t ool box wit h f our
cons dedicated t o creating the user' s own
record layout.
For the lazy ones among us, Digita have
included a number of pre-dened database
styles on disk, and as these cover the ubiq-
uit ous CD list , address book, and cl ub

membership styles, there should be a tem-
plat e f or most common uses. I f not , or
you're one of those people who insists on
getting their hands dirty, the design process
is about as easy as Digita could have made
it.
The usual eld creation tool is available
for simply slapping down a number of bor-
ing old data elds and getting on with it, but
if you want to be artistic you can make use
of the box, caption, and picture frame tools.
Boxes can be drawn in any size and colour
available f rom t he current palette, and are
used to brighten up the layout or create a
backdrop for text.

give Datastore records a very snazzy look,
but I f ound that when t oo many are used
the whol e program st art s t o sl ow down
rather like its older brother. Wordworth.
Digita's biggest remaining problem wit h
their interface design is that it can be very
slow at times, especially when fast RAM
isn't available or you are using a vanilla
68000 processor. and Dat ast ore is no
exception t o this. The program can work
quickly at an acceptable speed, but if you
decide t o get t oo art ist ic you should be
prepared for the consequences.
VARIETY ON TAP
When you do spl ash a bi t of col our
around. Datastore produces very satisfac-
tory result s, and hard dri ve users wi t h
access to long lists of outline fonts will be
pleased to know that any of these can be
used t o bri ng vari et y and ext ra vi sual
appeal t o cust om record designs. Those
who use Al200s will also be pleasantly sur-
prised t o nd support f or Workbench 3. 0
datatypes. which means you can use just
about any image format in your records if
you have the correct plug-in clatatype.
Actually designing a t emplat e is very
simple and a matter of just positioning the
various boxes, elds, and pict ures any-
where on screen bef ore saving t he whole
thing to disk_ To keep things neat and tidy.
there's a layout grid, and users can select
the snap-t o-grid opt ion t o keep all t hose
elements nicely lined up.
Once a t emplat e is designed and t he
user gets down to using a database prope-
rly, t he program' s solid l i st of f eat ures
makes nding and organising inf ormat ion
just as easy as creating the layout. Easily
the best of these is the query function, and
it works as well as on much more high-level

Fields - Any area into which text,
numbers, or other data is entered
Records - ' Pages' of inf ormat ion
composed of several elds
Database - A 'book' of pages, t he
pages being individual records
Query - A way of interrogating the
dat abase t o nd out how many
records contain dat a mat ching t he
packages. Organising your inf ormat ion is
easily as important as nding a particular
record (Datastore also has a fast and sim-
ple nd function t o search f or a particular
word), and the query feature does just t hat
Boolean operations are used along wit h
the usual 'starts wit h. ' , and 'contains...'
conditions, so it is possible t o look f or all
video cassettes whose Mies start with 'foot-
ball' and whose recording dates are before,
say, December 31st 1994.
This is made possible by query's ability
to examine any t wo elds i n t he current
t emplat e rat her t han just a single query
condition, making it much easier to narrow
the search down t o a specic collection of
records. Once these have been isolated by
the search, users can give t hem a subset

Uses such as this are some of the mos

surprising that Digita could have includeo
so many good design and query feature

tat Report printing is one area which tho
company should take a close look at to

the mail merge feature makes up in pai

lessly hyped TV launch, t here have been a

Winner, which inexplicably seems to be an
AGA release, is among the best I've seen.

way to their favourite TV series. As a con-

extremely popular despite the fact that it is

One of the inescapable realities of computer life is that
rarely used programs get stuck on oppy disks i n a
, drawer or box somewhere, and as a result you are
never able to nd a particular program when you need
It. Fortunately, the answer could be here in the form of
TurboCat which is designed to be a fast and effective
way to build up an index of exactly which programs are
on which disks in your collection.
Adding a disk to the database is as simple as insert-
ing it int o the drive. TurboCat scans it s contents and
adds it to its records_ Once the database is in place you
can perform searches by entering the name of the disk
you think the desired program is on. You can then view
the disk contents on screen. Unfortunately, it does not
appear possible to ent er the name of t he actual pro-
gram you desire. so t he process is not as quick as it
might be
TurboCat runs on machines with WB 2 or later, and
goes some way towards employing the standard
Ilion interface. Aspects of the int erlace seem a little
peculiar, however it's possible to click on areas of the
window and change t he writing in text gadgets but tpe

Commando i n t his unashamed Al i en Breed clone.
The enormous success of that classic is testament to
the popularit y of t he simple but enjoyable gameplay
and the frenetic blasting action on offer here.
As the eponymous Capt ain you must explore three
vast scrolling levels, blasting anything that moves and
collecting numerous bonuses along t he way. There

are on offer, some of which are as exciting
as ' loop' whereby one t heme somewhat
predictably loops endlessly, and 'loop both'
inwhich one theme tune follows directly on
from t he other, and continues, erm, end-
lessly.
The int erf ace is reasonably at t ract ive
and what STI does, i t does well. Whi l e
are comput er terminals (running WB 9.xl) which can
be accessed. enabling you t o purchase accessories
arid improved weaponry. The dangerous aliens are
everywhere, so collecting plenty of money to spend
at these terminals is vital.
Your ult imat e objective is t o rise f rom t he rank of
Captain to Star Marshall, but this isn't something that
you'll achieve too quickly because the game really is
large. Certain parts of the levels can only be reached
by using keys to open doors, so once more the termi-
nals become critical points to call in at.
There' s pl ent y her e f or shoot -' em-up f ans of
all abilities. What Captain Carnage lacks in originality
is mor e t han made up f or i n t erms of it ' s sheer
playability.

This is still a potentially useful program and while at

behind ot her platforms in t erms of
business software, then think again.
The Microsolt s and Lot uses of t his world
may have ignored the Amiga to concentrate
on the Mac and PC, but that's their loss, not
ours. If you've ever used the pernickity and
grouchy Microsof t Word on a PC, you' l l
know what I mean.
Fax sof t ware is one area in which t he
Amiga is very well served, and though there
are only a f ew commercial packages avail-
able, those that are on the shelves are good
enough to hold their own against any com-
petition. GI:Tax, one of the best of its kind
on t he Amiga, is easily as good as pack-
ages on t he PC such as ExpressFax and
Delrinas Wi nFax Pro when it comes t o
smooth, easy, and efcient use even if not
in terms of the number of daft extra features
it boasts.
The latest version 2. 347 of the package
(whatever happened t o good old 2. 346?)
looks pret t y much t he same as previous
incarnat ions, but a number of import ant
omissions have been made good and a few
annoying bugs sorted out. With its neat, tidy
cont rol screen and i ncredi bl y i nt ui t i ve
approach to the job, GPFax is one of those
rare programs (rare on ot her platforms at
least) whi c h can be used wi t h hardl y a
glance at the comprehensive manual.
The rst major improvement is that Class
1and Class 2 software can now be installed
f rom t he s ame archi ve usi ng a si mpl e
installer program rat her t han t he separate
versions available before now. This is good
news for all those owners of Supra Class 2
faxmodems, such as the Supra Plus range.
Setting t he exact modem type, if you don' t
want t o use generic settings, i s a simple
matter of changing the program' s icon t ool
type to one of the directly supported makes.
Ease of use 10
I mpl ementati on

Ed511life
For those of you who haven't seen previ-
ous reviews of GPFax, it is a program
which uses a simple front-end to make the
creation and sending of faxes as easy as
possible. Scheduling (automatically send-
ing faxes to a list of numbers at specied
times) is very easy, and the user can cre-
ate custom IFF fax headers for inclusion in
the document.

Penpherals.
A number of t iddly, but irrit at ing bugs
have also been ironed out on the Class 2
side of things, including t he error which
caused pages to nish before their time on
a re-dial attempt. None of t he bugs were
particularly severe, but clearing t hem up
makes f or a smoother, more reliable pro-
gram which shouldn't have difculties with
most fax machines.
IMPROVEMENT
The dat a modem side has seen one
annoying glitch removed in that the older
versions somet imes f ailed t o report t he
connection baud rat e speed when dialling
a BBS. This can be a real problem it you
think you're connected at 14,400 baud, but
the modem has sneakily connect ed at
9600 without telling you. No more of that
malarkey, my lad!
A new ARexx command takes care of
the problem, illustrating once again what a
wonderf ul l y powerf ul and exi bl e t ool
ARexx really is. Pity they haven't got it on
the PC or Mac, isn't it?
The only complaint I still have concern-
ing the program is that the fax printer dri-
ver, which can t rap t he output f rom most
DI P or word processor packages and
automatically convert it t o a fax, will only
work whi l e t he mai n GPFax program is

serious fault.

Thela tP5t upda ill of Helm, the
multimedia authoring package that
put5 you in charge of your miga
For s ome reason, Eagl e Tree Sof t ware
decided t o call t heir mult imedia aut horing
package ' Helm' and use the motif of a yacht
to promot e t he product, t hough what t his
program has to do wit h boats and rudders
is beyond me. Still, you shouldn't argue with
a company based in Virginia in case they
send Doug McClure to sort you out (hands
up all the old fogies who got that one).
Sit t ing ni c el y bet ween Ca n Do and
Hyperbook. Helm offers an interface super-
ior to Hyperbook' s old-f ashioned attempt,
and power to mat ch anything CanDo can
t hrow at i t wi t hout t he need t o scat t er
resource les all over your hard drive. In its
ori gi nal st at e, whi c h y ou mi ght hav e
savoured on our Jul y 1994 (i ssue 75)
CoverDisk, Helm was a good choice for the
non-programmer looking to make use of the
Amiga's operating system wit hout learning
C, and wit h a f ew tweaks and bit of bug-
bashing it's looking better all the time.
As wit h t he ot her aut horing packages.
Helm has a distinctive graphical front-end
which mult it asks wi t h Workbench, and
organises its projects in books and pages.
Each page can be constructed exactly as
the user wishes to include text. images, but-
tons, effect areas, and so on. Objects can
Domore ha55Ie5

Gradually bedded in and updated over the past 18 months, Helm is

now a much more stable and usable package than it was when it rst
appeared. If you have tried Hyperbook or our Helm Lite CoverDisk
and liked the way that a little bit of effort could be made to stretch a
long way, this latest version of the package should meet with your
approval.
There are still plenty of things you can't do with Helm, and I would
have liked the opportunity to use more Workbench-standard gadgets.
but for programming without the coding hassles, you can't do much
better. CanDo is probably still a better bet for general use particu-
larly if you want to create a utility which runs on Workbench over an
ARexx engine, but Helm should stand pretty well on its own.

This means that users can quickly set up

CHANGES
In t his lat est version (1. 65) t here are
quite a few changes, though most of t hem
address short comings in earlier releases.
One import ant change is t hat on-screen
text, particularly in hi-res interlace mode, is
smoother and faster where bef ore it was
annoyingly slow to update. but this is just
one of several updates.
Creat ing compl ex pages wi t h lot s of
brushes and objects was made more of a
hassle by t he program' s insist ence on
refreshing t he complet e screen when an
object was pasted into place. That has now
been xed, and i n addi t i on t he past ed
object remains highlight ed t o make rapid
placement of several similar objects much
easier.
Printing, not one of Helm' s more devel-
oped skills, is improved by the removal of
the t ool wi ndow f rom print ed output, and
colour fonts can at last be used without the
glit ches whi c h s l opped t hem bei ng

ack in t he days bef ore AGA, t he
only way t o see more t han 4096
colour images on your Amiga meant
a massive investment in a dedicated
24-bit graphics card. Even if you could afford
the investment you still needed a machine
capable of accommodating a zorro card. In
other words an A1500, 2000 or 3000-only
club.
Finally a solution arrived in the form of the
DCTV. Now, anyone with the will could play a
part in the 24-bit revolution. Unfortunately, to
do so meant handing over around 0 5 0 - a
gure which has diminished little over the
years.
OK, t here you have it, a well supported
and well implement ed 24-bit solution - but
perhaps st i l l a l i t t l e pri cey f or s ome.
Fortunately. there's now an affordable alter-
native in the form of the Video DAC 18.

does offer some very appealing assets, not
least of which is a bargain basement price.
Although the kit on test lacks English docu-
mentation, basic setup is extremely straight-
forward. Like its predecessor, the actual card
simply plugs in the RGB port - no other con-
nections required.
Once installed you simply reconnect your
monitor t o t he provided t hrough port and
you're in business. The next step is to run the
accompanying software either direct from the
oppy or via the hard drive.
To start you off, a small selection of demo
images have been provided to ne tune the
system. Again, t he DAC 18 f ollows in t he
DCTV tradition with two small adjusters built
directly onto the unit. Alt hough t he card is
pre-calibrated, some machines may require a
little added tweaking.
The word calibration may sound a little
ominous but t he process simply involves
loading up a demo image, f ollowed by a
quick t widdle wit h a screw driver until the

perfect image pops on screen. Once you're'
happy the little black box can be left alone,
soon to be forgotten. In fact the entire system
becomes complet ely invisible when you' re
using normal Amiga displays.
TRANSPARENT
Only when you display a DAC image will
the card leap into life, the only limitation being
that DAC images must be either 320 x 256,
320 x 512 of 384 x 576,
In other words, Lo-res with or without inter-
lace and overscan. In fact the card is so trans-
parent you can even use digitisers or genlocks
as before, the only difference being that now
you have a quarter of a million colours to play
with.
As you've probably already gathered, the
DAC 18 employs its own proprietary le format
and again, like the DCTV, this offers a size-
able saving in storage space.
On average, an identical DAC image will
occupy roughly one third of the space required
by a 24-bit !FF. Although this doesn't match
the massive saving offered by a similar DCTV

le it's still fairly signicant. As ment ioned
earlier, t he DAC system ships wit h a small
selection of support software. Aside from a
small toggle program to actually activate the
DAC hardware, you're also provided with a
workbench display tool which will load and dis-
play any existing DAC image,
However, the key to the system lurks within
the Video_DAC_18 conversion software. I t s
from here that all the DAC images start their
colourful ves. At its most basic level the soft-
ware allows you to load any 24-bit IFF image
- of t he correct resolution - after which it's
automatically converted into a DAC le and
displayed on screen using up t o 262, 144
colours_
In addition to simply loading 24-bit images
and saving DAC les, the software also pro-
vides batch conversion of both individual les
and entire animations.
Unfortunately, this side of the software does
need a little more attention, However, in princi-

enition of multimedia?.. err. A pack-
age that denes the term?... umm.
Never mind. Judging f rom some
companies* and magazines' exclama-
bons of this, the next generation in informa-
tion technology, no one, it would appear,
would really know what t he t erm exactly
means.
It's a great tag line to sell computers t o
unsuspecting families and businesses but the
end result is st ill by no means de ned.
Perhaps it should be called multiple media at
the moment, and it there's one machine that
can carve Out a t rue denition t hrough its
excellent audio, video and graphic capabili-
ties, it's the Amiga.
While there may be no bold claims ot multi-
media on the Communicator ill's packaging,
some would see it as a piece of hardware
and software designed to aid in 'multimedia*
presentations. For all the hooked readers out
there, the rst stumbling block to owning the
Communicator III is the necessity to have a
CD32 and an Amiga, as well as a minimum
of 1Mb Chipram and one megabyte of RAM.
The hardware it self is as aest het ically
pleasing t o l ook at as Aunt i e NeIly i n
Eastenders, with its cumbersome design and
freakish angles normally associated wit h a
ship out of Bl ake' s Seven. The uni t i s
plugged into the side of the CD32 via the ser-
ial port. The actual connector is a rather im-
sy number, so make sure you don't happen
to nudge it by accident.
ATTACHMENTS
A lead provided with the package allows
the CO32 to then be attached to the Amiga.
Following this, it's a simple case of installing
the sof t ware whi ch i s made up of t he
Commbook and a selection of PO programs.
Included in t he pack are two CDs for the
discerning user - one contains t he CO32
main program and the second, PhotateH-. By
booting t he t wo machines up and running
them on the same baud rate - a very simple
task - the user has a variety of options avail-
able to him.
Through t he Amiga-based int erlace it's
possible to control the CD32. The main set of
icons running along the bottom of the screen
operate the presentation program, the audio
and FlvIV control page. a le transfer option,
and a le transfer option to upload GIF or IFF

program provided is really rather poor with a
limited array of wipes, dissolves and other
jerky special effects. Fonts are limited and
while FMV Of you actually have the unavail-
able card) and CD audio can be played from
the CD32, t he cont rols f or setting up t he
beginning and end points again aren't entirely
assured.
Anot her annoying oversight is t he CD
counter To set the point for when you want
the track to end is a bit of a pain. The counter
is preset al 99 tracks, 69 minutes and 69 sec-
onds. Instead of simply clicking on forwards
and looping back to zero, t he user has to
plough al l t he way back to t he beginning
using the track and minute counters. It's not a
major problem but frustrating all the same.
In all honest y, ot her t han f or perhaps
schoolwork, if you want your work to shine
professionally, Scala really is an absolute
must to realise the full potential of this sys-
tem - as it stands, the Commbook program
present at ion f acilit ies just aren' t up t o
scratch. If you already have a copy of Scala
installed t hen you' ll st ill have t o buy t he
appropriat e driver f rom Scala t o run t he
CO32 via the package.
The Files opt ion is ne up t o a point .
Reading t he instructions gives a denit e
impression that one is able to download les
from the CD32, such as picture les (that
much is true), put t hem in the directory ol
choice via the Settings screen and/or select
to view them on the CD32' s screen. As for
viewing, t here was no such luck because

There's great potential in this package and, as tar as I can see, it s not being exploited to
the full with its dodgy operating system. I have been informed by Eureka that any problems
are being sorted out for the ofcial release, so the scores listed below would each gain an
additional mark once these improvements have been made.
When Eureka get the formula right, they'll be onto a winner. At the moment this comes in
at second place.
Next. the View option is used to transfer pic-
ture and ot her les to the CD32 f or display
purposes - very useful for non-AGA Amiga
owners who want to see the best in graphics
quality.
Finally, there is the Settings screen where
baud rates can be altered and the connection
between the two machines can be tested. On
a basic A500 or A2000 you can expect a
baud rate around 9600. on an Al200, 3000
and 4000, higher speeds are possible.

the Communicator and enables Photo CDs to

BOOT-UP
One of the features that Eureka are most
proud of is t he Virt ual CD opt ion. When
selected on a particular program f rom t he
CD32's list of programs, instead of booting up
with the main interface screen each time, the
virtual CDed prog is booted up automatically
- handy and time saving for setting the CD32
up as a normal CD-ROM for the Amiga.
As a basic idea, t he Communi cat or is
excellent i n theory, al l owi ng what woul d
appear to be a healthy amount of tricks and
tactics for getting the most out of the Amiga
and the CD32. Unfortunately, there are too

Also provided with the Communicator III are a set of PD/Shareware
programs to aid the system. What follows is the briefest of rundowns
on a few of the included titles.
Twin Express - This shareware utility is a le transfer program that
allows the user to quickly exchange les between two computers. In
this case. the Amiga and CD32 via the serial ports of the respective
machines.
With the emphasis being on speed, the package is six-seven times
quicker t han t he serial handler used by AmigaDOS_ Also, it you
should happen t o have a PC lying round t he house t hen Twi n
Express can move les bet ween the Amiga and itself, as well as
translating any differences found between the differing formats.
Sernet - This highly useful piece of sof t ware turns that games
machine lying next to the family television into a CD-ROM drive with
full icon and Workbench support The only real problem is the baud
rate which is limited because the CD32 is connected via the s
port. For the pure faster transfers, it's best to use Twin Express.
Viowlek - A highly useful little program that boasts a large array.
differing picture and animation formats to view your own and
people' s work wit h. An A2000, 3000 or 4000 keyboard can be
plugged into the Communicator to make life easier. I'd also recort
mend another mouse which makes life quicker and easier for s
ing any items or programs in the CD32's Workbench.

many hiccups in the software side of things,
with programs inexplicably crashing f rom
time t o t ime. I t hink some probl ems are
down t o the rat her inadequate instructions
provided with the machine as well.
Also, everything is just so slow and ddley
at times on the Al200. I also found that the
system would sometimes crash, there were
long waits as the CD loaded in a program,
and options were selected from one machine
and shown on the other.
These kind of delays should be expected
but at the end of the clay, when you're not
sure you're going to get t he desired result
anyway, it's all just a lad frustrating to say the
least.
Finally, you'll have to spend more money
honing the Communicator III into the desired
product you want in terms of what it's capa-
ble of. That may mean paying out for a copy
of Scala or buying an FMV cartridge when
they become available, Only then do I think
that t he real power of t his syst em wi l l
become apparent. E f f

ow things can be more daunting than
the prospect of having t o work out
home accounts. If you're anything like
me, gathering the bills and bank statements
together only serves to conrm your worst
fears about last month's expenditure. A pro-
gram t hat just ashed t he words ' St oney
Broke' would be as accurate as anything else.
Still, those of you who have eit her more
resources or more nancial restraint than I
may be interested in t he latest version of
Money Matters_ The makers, best known f or
their exemplary Wordwort h WP package,
claim it's the ideal money manager for the
home or small business.
Money Matters differs f rom other Amiga
nance programs in that it is not a spread-
sheet analyser. It's clearly aimed at users
who want simplicity and clarity above any-
thing else, so things rarely get more complex
than the average bank statement.
Considering its target audience it has many
strengths. Current , credit card and saving
accounts are kept track of simult aneously
within the program, and transfers and trans-
actions are easily undertaken.
When you ent er a new accounts details
there is an opt ion to activate minimum and
maximum cash margins. This means that the
program can automatically warn you if you
exceed an overdraft limit or tell you when you
should transfer money to a savings account.
A time-saving feature lies in the fact that
regular transactions can be processed auto-
matically. Direct debits are therefore calcula-
ted at the appropriate times of the year with-
out the user having to do anything further.
Each outgoing and incoming for an account
is easily identiable because you can give it a
type' code. Every time money is paid for car
insurance, f or example, it will be clearly

The Amiga is rst and foremost a home computer, and Money Matters is much more
appropriate for the average user than the hi gh-powered spreadsheet analysers they
might otherwise choose. It may not have the professionalism of TurboCalc, for exam-
ple, but it caters better for what most people really need.
However, with an RRP of 50. I can't help feeling it's rather pricey considering how
competitive the market is. After all, you can buy Mini Ofce which i ncl udes a spread-
sheet program with ve other utilities for E10 less. By their own standards, it doesn't
have the consistently attractive interlace that is the crowni ng point of Digita's budget
wordprocessor. Overall, then, it's not the top-notch effort we mi ght have hoped for,
but it will prove itself very useful to its buyers nonetheless.

Users can give t heir nances a visual
breakdown using t he ext ensive chart ing
options. Colour pie charts or bar tables can
give you a more concrete idea of where your
money is going than rows of gures set in
black and white.
Digita have a good reputation for providing
their customers with quality explanatory mate-
rial, and Money Matters maintains the high
standard. There' s a comprehensive manual
with step-by-step tutorials padded out wit h
some general advice on how t o avoid debt
and obtain credit,
HELPING HAND
The online help is in some respects better
than that available on Wordworth, tor the sim-
ple reason that topics have been arranged
alphabetically. There' s also an alt ernat ive
method through which each menu command
can be quened with a click of the mouse. On
the downside, however, some of the explana-
tions could be fuller.
Users can make nancial projections into
the future using the 'What If' command, a fea-
ture more usually f ound i n high-powered
spreadsheet packages. This is very handy if
you want to assess the impact of venous deci-
sions on your cashow.
For the small business concern, there are
reports wit h a semi-professional style and
VAT calculations. Transactions of particular
signicance can be given explanations using

njoyable it may be, but coming to
terms with the Amiga's multi-task-
ing system is still no small task. In
any language, let alone assembler. In fact
for a lot of coders. learning 6E30x0 assem-
bly language is the least of their troubles -
the main difculty is the Amiga itself. Why?
Because the environment is. of necessity,
quite complex.
There are in fact more than a few profes-
sional Amiga coders who readily admit that
they were only just coming t o t erms wit h
t he 1. 3 0/ S (operat i ng syst em) when
Release 2 arrived. Now Workeench3 and
3.1 hav e appeared on t he scene and
beneath them lie further enhancements. So
where does t hat leave t he programmers
who are want ing t o make t he t ransit ion
From, say, 1. 3 t o l at er rel eases of t he
Amiga's operating system. Luckily, some of
the most import ant f undament al changes
since 1.3 came with Release 2.04 - which
provides the version 37 run time libraries,
By t his t i me you had t hings l i ke t he
Gadtools and ASL request er libraries in
place. While no one denies that these extra
facilities brought benets, it is pretty obvi-
ous that a lot of coders, especially those
who have most of their experience on 1.3-
based Amigas, f elt as t hough t hey were
just making progress when Commodore
moved the nishing line and sent t hem all
back to the start again.
To be honest, things are not really t hat

coder, rat her than harder. But t here are,
nevertheless, changes to contend with and
unfortunately some of the most visible ones
affect even the most elementary operations
that an ent husiast ic coder might experi-
ment with.
New met hods f or openingscreens and

because these operations, like many oth-

I used t ag list -based f unct ions i n our
recent t ext l e di spl ay exampl e and it
appears that quite a few of you would like a
little more help in this area - particularly in
regards t o why Commodore felt it neces-
sary to change things in the rst place (and
why there now seems to be all sorts of dif-
ferent ways of doing the same operations).
To get t he answer t o t his we need t o
look at the types of problems Commodore
have had to contend with as they upgraded
the Amiga environment.
First and f oremost came t he need f or

NewWindow structure, ll in the appropnate
details and t hen call t he Intuition library's
OpenWindow() function.
In order to provide the Release 2 system
enhancements, however, some established
operations, like window opening, required
additional paramet ers t o be specied and
Commodore's problem was to nd a way to
do this that would minimise any compatibi-
lity upsets.
In f act , what t hey want ed t o do was
come up wit h a solution that would elimi-
nate t he need t o ext end existing system
structures in future 0/ S releases altogether.
The approach adopt ed is based on t he
use of arrays, or lists of arrays, that contain
self-identifying paramet er values - each
parameter item consists of an identier and
a corresponding 'real' value.
Since t hese lists can provide a way of
tagging additional parameters onto existing
0/ S st ruct ures, t hey ' v e been c al l ed
tag l i s t s . Wher e appr opr i at e, newl y
devised l i brary f unct i on cal l s l ook f or
such items and use t hem - either in addi-
tion to, or as a replacement for, any exist-
ing structures they might have used in t he
past.
Tag lists solve t he problem of providing
additional parameters but Commodore also
had to cope with the backward compatibility
issues. As an example of what has been
done in t his area, let ' s take a look at the
NewWi ndow st ruct ure. This, as al l 1. 3
coders know, is merely a convenient, xed
size, dat a i t em' package used t o pass
parameters to the OpenWindow() function,
and in its modern types,i form looks some-

One of the things that Commodore did from
Release 2 was t o creat e t his ext ended
NewWindow denition:

LAMELenw_SUEOF
Right at the end of this new structure is an
additional eld called enw_Extension and,
if t he NewWi ndow nw_Type ag val ue
WFLG_NW_EXTENDED is set, t hen t his
eld is assumed t o point t o a t ag list -
when running under 1.3 this extension eld
is obviously ignored.
By usi ng t hese t ypes of t ransparent
extensions, coupled wit h conditional code
that looks for Release 2 libranes - or later
- and takes appropriate 1.3-based detours
if these are not found, programmers can
therefore write code that can take advan-
tage of new syst em f unct ions whi l e st ill
being runable on older machines.
All a tag item consists of is a pair of lour
byte values - t he rst provides a 32-bit
identity eld, the second an associated 32-
bit dat a value. A f ew general t ag i t em
values, e.g. t he TAG_END end-of-tag-list
marker, have been de ned, al ong wit h

Some t ag dat a elds, however, f or

1.11.1.1. Tag 115t

So far I've been trying to paint a general picture about
how and why tag lists came into existence, but to n-
ish this month's instalment let's look at one illustration
of their use.
I've chosen wi ndow openi ng because, si nce
Release 2, there have been ve different ways of writ-
ing window opening code and by using this topic I'll be
able to explain the different methods available_
To st art wi t h t he pr ogr ammer can set up an
ExtNewScreen structure containing a pointer to a tag
list, and in this case the OpenWindow() function call
can be made in t he usual fashion. Alternatively, t he
f ollowing OpenWi ndowTagLi st () f unct ion can be
used:
WindomOpendindrofogListtliedindon, T a g I t e s s i ;
40 a t m l
OpenWindowTagListo can actually be used in two dif-
ferent ways: Firstly, the originally required parameters
can be specied, Oa 1.3, in a NewWindow structure
with additional (Release 2 onward) arguments being
provided in a separate tag list.
Secondly, a NULL NewWindow pointer can be used
coupled with a tag list that contains all window open-
ing parameters - only the non-default value tags need
be supplied_
That covers t hree of t he approaches available f or
making a window opening call. Unfortunately, or fortu-
nately depending on your viewpoint, t wo more varia-
t ions ex i s t bas ed on t he us e of t he r el at ed
OpenWindowTags() amiga.lib function.
Rather than passing a single t ag list pointer, t his
function expects t o get its t ag paramet ers f rom t he
stack - along with a NewWindow pointer. Needless to
say. these methods are provided for t he benet of C
coders rather than assembly language programmers.
so s a y no more about them
Once a coder has created a tag list for a function.
the paramet ers f or t hat f unct ion are effectively i n
place. This means that the actual calling schemes for
tag-based functions are ext remely simple. Wit h t he
OpenWindowTagList() call, for example. we clear reg-
ister a0 - because we aren' t using a NewWi ndow
structure - and load register al wit h t he start of the
tag list like this:
SOMA I muLL, a0
Leo mi ndom_t ags, 81
Havi ng d o n e t h a t we t h e n j u s t ma k e t h e
OpenWindowTagList() library call:
CALLSYSOpentindomitgList,_Intwitionesse
Easy isn't it - and all tag list-based functions are just
as easy to use. In fact, having now dealt in detail with
what t ag lists are, it is t ime to start get t ing practice
with functions that use them.
That, incidentally is what we'll be doing next month
and I have anot her little mini-project, complet e wit h
runable cover-disk code, to drive home the ideas I've
discussed in the last two issues!

The highly acclaimed The Chaos Engine is back in
t own. The Bit map Brothers, not ed f or t hei r
ot her success st ories Speedball and Xenon,
are working on a sequel t o t heir much loved
strategy shoot-'em-up. Called The Chaos Engine
2, originally enough, it plans to have many new
features while keeping the same successful game-
play.
One difference is the set which means you can
now interact more wi t h t he environment. For
example, you can walk under things, hide behind
walls and so on and you can also ambush charac-
ters, which all adds new angles to the gameplay.

Disney's classic adventure, The Jungle Book, is to appear on the Amiga. Already a

You play Mowgli, t he man cub, who wishes t o ret urn t o t he Man Village.
Twelve levels await and can boast to have all the characters from the lm. These

Those who played the original Elite will

All manner of wei rd and wonderful staregy games hi t the shelves and
extremely popular they are too, especuially wi th the more cerebral game-
player. War games are a particular breed of these and have sold in abun-
dance. But surely there is a limit to just what else can be done wi th them?
No, j ust leave i t i n the capable hands of the strategy gurus, Impressions,
who are promising somethi ng a little bi t extra and are worki ng on their
offeri ng i n the form of Front Lines, a war game simulation. This game is
set i n the futur e, occurri ng dur i ng the centenary anni versary of the
bombi ng of Peal Harbour.
The hundred years of peace that have fol l owed the Second Worl d War
have been broken and the nations are at war wi th each other once again.
Front Li nes ai ms t o be as realistic as i t can, wi th features such as
graphical reports to provide situational awareness, air support, leadership
qualities and morale included, supply lines, fog of war and weather.
Also featured i n the game are fully ani mated movement and detai l ed
graphics which should bring a new di mensi on to this game genre
This game should go down well wi th serious strategy buffs everywhere.

blowpipe. Virgin claim the game will have an innovative Dual Contour Map which
enables the character to interact with the foreground and background and so will
double the actual play area
Also from Virgin this month is Lost Eden, a fantasy adventure for the CD32. Set
in an environment where dinosaurs and humans live side by side, there are con-
tinual wars between the herbivores and the carnivores. You play Adam, a guy in
search of a solution to all the battles. The answer is to build citadels to stop the
carnivores attacking, but rst he has to discover the knowledge behind them.
Rendered 3D graphics will provide the prehistoric scenery complete wit h many
dinosaur species, including some ct it ious ones t oo. Speech wi l l be used
throughout.
The development is by Cryo, whose previous successes have been KGB and the

What, a platformer from Microprose? Yes, it's true.
Having established t heir reput at ion f or qualit y
strategy games they are now trying their hand at
platformers.
It's about a ghost, a ghost called Boo who lives
with Stupendo the Fabtastic, a stage magician. The
plot thickens when King Bully - the cow - steels his
wand and Boo has to get it back.
The action will take place over ve levels - The
Hall, Kitchen, Garden, Freezer and Bathroom - and
can be completed by nding, and using objects in
various ways.
Boo can also take the form of other monsters
and use t heir different skills t o help him, such as
Bratula who can y or FranKid-Stein who can
electrocute.
Keith Scoble, renowned f or his Danger Mouse
animations and Jamie and his Magic Torch, will be
working on the project so we can expect something
special on the visuals side.

Gametek have a new advent ur e on of f er cal l ed
Bloodnet. It's a poi nt 'n' click adventure but looks that
bit di fferent from the norm. It's an unusual mixture of
gothic horror meets Cyberpunk and takes place i n the
future. Blood-sucking vampires are a constant threat to
the popul ati on and i t's down t o one chap, Ransom
Stark, t o raise a band of vampi re slayers to save the
day.
Graphically. Bl oodnet l ooks to be superb, creati ng

been busy on its successor, Tactical Manager 2, Talking Birds have acted upon what
you, the players think, and have added millions of new features and improvements.

computer sides will try such devious tactics as time wasting wit h ve minutes to go,
and they wi l l also tend t o choose bet t er formations. Match highlight s can be
printed out and include all the facts and gures such as the man of the match and
the attendance. The European rules have been included too, therefore in European
matches Only t hree foreigners can play and so on. There are many more new

This is one of t he best plat f ormers I've played in
ages Wunderkind have done an amazing j ob and
seems to have got every single element of the game
just right . The graphics are superb, t he sound is
good, t he gamepl ay is amazi ng and i t has an
uncanny level of addiction that'll keep you playing it
again and again. Ruff 'n' Tumble is, quite simply, the
cutesy platformer of the year.
A sore thumb and a foul temper were sure signs that
the game had me gripped. It may not look much, but
it has all the elements that a thoroughbred arcade
game should have. The developer deserves full credit
for balancing so many appealing features in one
game. Roadkill is yet another triumph for a software
house t hat can take a simple game and make it
shine.
Se n s i b l e Wo r l d o f So c c e r
The interaction between t he tactics and the
transfers is just brilliant and in my mind 5W05
is t he world' s rst f oot ball game t hat has
managed to get a perfect balance between a
pure arcade game and a management simula-
tion. I had my reservations about yet another
episode of Sensible Soccer, but I've had those
rmly destroyed because SWOS is the best
Amiga game that money can buy.
S h a d o w F i g h t e r
As f ar as beat-'em-ups go on t he Amiga. I've
been mor e t han pleasant ly surprised by
Shadow Fighter. It could go f rom strength t o
strength after the release of the AGA version
and nally take the beat-'em-up crown away
f rom games l i ke Body Blows and Mort al
Kombat. Shadow Fight er is, qui t e simply,
thumping good fun.
Stuck for what to spend your
hard earned cash on? Take a
lookat some of the best
gameswe've seen over the
past few months.
R o a d k i l l
J u n g l e S t r i k e
Amiga owners have waited a long
time f or Jungle Strike t o be con-
verted, but their patience has been
rewarded wi t h a game t hat wi l l
test their arcade and tactical skills
to t he limits. Wi t h its impressive
graphics and the superbly designed
game system, it could well be t he
best chopper title to date.

A guide to how our revolutionary
scoring system works...
wer e sure many of you are now familiar wi th our
new scoring system, but for those readi ng Ami ga
Computi ng for the rst ti me and those who mi ght
have for gotten exactl y how i t worts, her e is Our
guide to the System scoring, err system.
In our opinion. review scores have lost their con-
text as a percentage; some products receiving scores
which were onl y a few percentage short of being the
"per fect' game, when i n t r ut h t hey wer e onl y
marginally above average.
OK, so the scores mi ght seem unnaturally l ow at
rst, but that's onl y because other scoring systems
tend to be on the hi gh side and perhaps not as com-
prehensive or honest as they could be.
In the l ong run you'll receive a more concise and
reader-orientated review that's geared towards the
consumer.
0-20 This is given to the lowest of the low
21-30 An all-round poor game that
may have a single saving grace
31-40 Just below the average, perhaps
let down by a few indiscreticms.
41-55 Games of this score are roughly average
wi th 50 being a perfectly average score.

Make sure you wat ch t he animat ed

only way of knowing what your rst
objective is. You start off the adventure
in your girlfriend Eden's bedroom and
there are a number of objects you must

that need t o be collected aren't that
obvious.
The rst object is the wallet which is

room you should pick up your cigarettes
and zippo lighter. Open the right-hand
drawer and take the pound coin. Talk to
Eden and she'll tell you to go to work at
Sparky's bar.
Make your way int o t he kit chen,
open the drawers and take out a table
knife. Now open up the microwave and
take the key that's been placed inside rt.
On t he t able there's Eden's net work
card - pick it up because it's needed

0 ' m confused. A game arrived i n the ofce
and i t's by Del phi ne - so i t s got to be a
qual i ty adventur e game, r i ght? Wr ong.
Okay, so it contains basketball star, Shaquille
O'Neill, so it must therefore be a basketball
sim? No, wrong again. It's a beat'em-up.
Am I missing something or would someone please
tell me what on earth a basketball star is doing in a
beat'-em-up? I mean, have all the norms of licensed
games gone completely out of the wi ndow? It woul d
seem so. Even from the box cover things are already
looking pretty cheesy. Said basketballer is in 'menac-
ing' pose and the slogan underneath reads 'Enforcer
of Justi ce'. Cheesy? Most deni tel y! However ,
putti ng all Initial doubts aside, I decided rst impres-
sions aren't always right and decided to take a closer
look.
Shag
Long ago in a far-off place called
The Second World, there ruled an
evil sorcerer, Sett Ra. And like all
bad guys. he's gone power-crazy
and intends to take over the First
World, Earth. He creates an assas-
sin called Beast and t oget her
they intend to kill the Pharaoh of
Egypt and take his throne.
They succeed and t he dis-
guised Sett Ra takes over as king.
But the Pharaoh's son, Ahmet, is
not s o easi l y decei ved and
t oget her wi t h his grandf at her
and a coven of wizards, they send
Sett Ra back t o t he Second
World, bandaged mummy-style
and i mpr i s oned i n a r une-
encrusted pyramid.
Beast frees his master and they
set out f or revenge. But t o end
his exile from the First World he
must perf orm a ri t ual on t he
descendant of Ahmet. Beast nds
the child and all is set f or t he
nal battle. Only the Chosen One
can stop him now.
It still doesn't explain what a
basketball player is doing i n a
beat-'em-up though! Well, appar-
ently it does because Shag' hap.
pens to be ' t he chosen one', the
one who possesses st rengt h,
courage, agility, spirituality, intel
ligence, martial arts skills, etc, etc.
And luckily for mankind, Shag just
happens to be on his basketball
tour in Tokyo which just happens
to be the right place at the right
time...Contrived? A little!

SOUND
Sound is limited to an uninspiring, and rather grating, introduc-
tion tune which does little to generate atmosphere, and the in-
game effects are not hing more t han t he occasional weapon
clash or yelp of pain. The punching noises are pretty feeble too.
Mortal Kombat 2 has a good range of samples, as does Body
Blows Galactic, and it's a shame that something wit h a lit t le
more depth could not have been used here.

The graphics are nei-

'fence-sitting' but
it's true. The back-

They do t hei r j ob
and are unobtrusive,
which means you can
concent rat e on game-
play, but they don' t really
provide much atmosphere either.
The animation of the sprites does work quite nicely
though. Their moves are uid and look convincing as
they bound around the screens. The sprites are smaller
than usual which means a l ot of det ail has been
sacriced and it takes some getting used to.
Also, t he characters themselves don' t really come
across as menacing - they don' t look as if they could

As every gamesplayer knows, playability is the all important factor in any game
and if there are no distractions such as fancy graphics or sound then when playa-
bility is not up t o scratch it sticks Out like a sore t humb. This is the case in
Shaci-Fu.
Control of the ghters is more frustrating than it should be. The controls are
not intuitive and the moves are ddly to operate. Some of the ghters can per-
form magic - if that is what all this pointless whit e screen ashing is all
about - but this prevents you actually seeing what's going on f or a few
seconds, and all you can do is wait for your opponent to come over
and punch the crap out of you.
Adding to the 'cringe factor' are the awful cliche sayings of the
ghters such as threats to "slap you silly" or "I am t oo smart f or
your foolish style.' I t doesn't add anything t o the game and it
certainly doesn't provoke you in to a violent frenzy.
Another t ot al waste of t ime is the ridiculous amount of disk
swapping involved. There are six disks and before each ght you
are subjected t o a lengt hy and most annoying process of
changing disks several times. And it's not hard disk installable
either, which is pretty unforgivable when the loading time is
equal to the amount of playing time you get.
Unfortunately, there just isn't anything new or original
here t o get excited about. Two-player mode is boring, at
best, and t he t ournament varies bet ween f ar t oo easy -
because some characters need just one move to defeat them
- and f ar t oo hard - f or example, t he characters t hat use
magic result in yow not being able t o get near to defeat them.
There i$ no middle ground and little opportunity for skilful hand-
to-hand combat.
It does have some good points - the characters move brilliantly, there
are plenty of different modes to play the game in and there are many charac-
ters - but unfortunately the bad points outweigh the good. Nowhere near up to
the same standards of other quality beat-'em-ups available f or the Amiga. Not
even close.

FLASHBACK
Over the past few months we've
seen many beat-'em-ups arrive
on the Amiga, varying f rom the
good, t he bad and t he down-
right atrocious, Mortal Kombat 2
is now one of the best beat'em-
ups we' ve seen on t he Amiga
so f ar , wi t h i t s excel l ent ,
gory graphics and t onnes of
playability.
Then t her e was Gr eml i ns
Shadow Fighter, again a highly
addictive addition t o the genre.
And how could we forget Rise of
the Robots, which showed what
could be done graphics-wise,
as l ong as pl ayabi l i t y isn' t a
priority!
Shag Fu sits somewhere horri-
bly in t he middle. It's not t he
worst beatiem-up on the planet,
but compared t o MK2/Shadow
Fighter/Body Blows? Well, it ' s

Great graphics, sensational sound and a better than average storyline t hrown
into the bundle - add it up and surely you get a winning title. But of course,
you'll realise f rom t hat line alone t hat this isn't t he case; t he t rimmings in
Death Mask are good, but at heart it's just a turkey.
The irrit at ing thing is that it was almost a very good effort. Not long ago.
I'd have said a game like Doom couldn't be done on t he Amiga but now I'm
not so sure.
Admittedly they've used small windows t o display the action, but it's all
very pacey considering the level of detail. It's not limitations on t he Amiga
that cause the problems, but rather a combination of frustrating misjudge-
ment in design.
To start with, t he whole point of the game is that it's a shoot-'em-up. It's
rather disastrous, therefore, t hat the collision detection is hopelessly inaccu-
rate, allowing you to blow cobs of esh off monsters nowhere near your gun
sights.
Players should be encouraged t o ght intelligently, but in Death Mask
there's not much point in trying. Battles occur in narrow corridors which
leave you t rapped in face-to-face shoot outs, pummelling t he re but t on
wit h a mindless lack of interest.
Each level may have a different look, but the init ial interest this provokes
soon fades. Up t o now I've f ound f ew t hings t o arouse my curiosity, f or
whereas Doom is f ull of surprises, Deat h Mask feels like you' re playing a
paint ball game in a dressed-up warehouse.
So f ar, f or example, I haven' t come across any stairways, lif t s, secret
switches or puzzles. Some of these features may well exist later on, but hav-
ing played it for as long as I did wit hout having my appetite whetted, it's not
surprising if I gave up hope.
It's good that a two-player option has been included, and even better that
ten arenas have been developed so that players can go head to head against
each other.
Unfortunately, even the pleasure of strang friends with cannon re failed
to compensate f or aws in the game engine. The directions you can move in
are so restricted t hat conicts were t oo often resolved on t he basis of luck
rather than skill.

MI ME
Death Mask is set in a future in which mankind has
recklessly exploited the possibilities of genetic engi-
neering in an attempt to design desirable and use-
ful living beings. Naturally, during experimentation
many lifeforms are created that are abhorrent to
their creators.
Exhibiting a typically human sense of responsibil-
ity, these 'aliens' are packed off to stay safely out
More than in any other game genre.
it's important that players lose them-
selves in t he experience, and Doom
proved how import ant audio is in
allowing them to do this. Fortunately,
sound on the Amiga is impressive by
any st andards, and Al t er nat i v e
Software have done a lot to exploit its
capabilities in Death Mask.
Everything sounds like it ' s been
sampled f or realism. Convincing gun-
re, pump-action loading, groaning
mechanical doors and cries of pain
add another dimension t o your sub-
terranean struggle. Even in quiet er
moments, the player's footsteps echo
as they rush through silent halls.
The music is also except ionally
good for the style of game, with a sin-
ister t heme preparing you f or t he
conict before you start.

knowledge that only they could experience the excitement
of Doom. Now Amiga owners have nally got their own 30

Player one prepares

There's a great deal t o admire about the look of this
game and in some respects it's good enough t o surprise
even t he most devot ed Amiga fan. On an Al 200 t he
movement is swift, even in two-player mode wit h t he
detail turned on high.
The backgrounds are impressive and good enough in
places to give Doom a run for its money. Unfortunately, it
doesn't have enough atmospheric detail, such as icker-
ing lights and gloomy depths, to maximise the suspense.
Each level has a different appearance ranging from sci-
ence labs to bio-mechanical wall textures. Mission targets
like nuclear reactors or encased embryos are equally
impressive.
So far so good, but there are some problems. In Doom,
the monsters look like they'd tear your head off as soon
as you blink. In Death Mask, t he enemy charges at you
like it's got the contents of its bowels dangling in its
pants; in short, they can be ludicrous rather than frighten-
ing. The 31) view is not always perfect either. This is most
noticeable when you turn round, because what you see
doesn't reect t he t rue design of the room
you're in
OPINION
55%
Nobody would have been happier than me if this game had
turned Out to be as good as it looked. I ' ve always got time
f or simple, break-neck paced action accompanied by t he
sound of heavy artillery as players blaze their way to success.
Unfortunately, t he excitement that Death Mask super-
cially promises is rarely delivered. This is a great shame,
because you get the feeling t hat it was much more than a
slap dash effort on the developer's part.
Getting 3D graphics of this qualit y moving swiftly and
smoothly must have been a challenge, and the outstanding
sound lends the game impressive gravity. Ultimately, how-
ever, the gameplay was not rewarding enough to keep me
coming back.
It's of lit t le consolation t o Alt ernat ive Software, but
what Death Mask shows is that the Amiga has the potential
to support a good game in t he Doom genre. Team 17 are
currently working on a variant of their own, so let's pctpe.
they meet with greater success.

Unlike most of these sword and sorcery adventures, this doesn't have a long background tale to go
with it. So far, all you know is that your spirit has been cast down from some unspecied location for
no particular reason and as yet your mission is unknown. How's that for motivation?
Oh well, story or not, it all results in much the same thing: Wandering around in some 'time past'
scenario, killing dub-wielding Orcs and solving the puzzles. But as the game progresses the story is
revealed.
First of all you nd yourself in a forest and it soon becomes apparent t hat monsters must be
slayed, characters talked to and strange objects collected in order to keep them happy. Then it's off
to face the real bad guys and to nd out how your soul has got in this terrible mess.
FLASHBACK
I
.
Dragonstone has more than a passing resem-
blance to Darkmere. This is Core Design's pre-
vious RPG. a 3D isometric adventure which
employs a similar graphical style. However,
Darkmere is far more detailed, less dated in
appearance and has a great deal more t o it
than Dragonstone.
Gremlin's Legacy of Sorasil is another title
in this genre but again it seems t o of f er a
good deal more bot h in terms of graphics
and playabilit y. I t also had at mosphere -
something Dragonstone lacks.
There just doesn' t seem t o be a l ot of
depth t o Dragonstone compared t o ot her
games of a similar nature. Gameplay needs to
be a lot more varied to hold lasting appeal.
Compared to some of the other traditional
adventure titles we've seen recently this looks
very quaint and the puzzlers are just too few
and far between.

Viewed f r om a

Dr agons t one
does looks rather
dated Some of the
scenes ar e qui t e
pretty but you get the
feeling t hat you've seen
the settings before - many times before - in fact, ten
years before!
Also, the game view means it is f ar f rom practical in
some places. Say, f or instance, you're walking along close t o a
hedgerow and an enemy attacks. You are t hen cornered
and you can't see the baddy t o strike him back! It's not
stone
Mysticism, magic and the mighty forces of darkness.
Arealm of enchantment or clichs? System sorcerer
takes a look at Core Design's latest RPG.
In the main, the sound is quite reasonable. A moody, dark tune works well as an introduction to the game
and sets up an eerie theme. Background atmospheric sounds such as the peaceful forest are created by the
use of bird song, or the howling wind and rippling water used in the Temple of Water.
However, the main character sounds rather unconvincing to say the least. He/she yelps and wails patheti-
cally at every opportunity, all in a rather feeble, 70-a-day sounding grumble. This becomes irritating and
you end up turning the volume down which is a shame because you then lose some of the good atmo-
spheric effects.
Sword swipes, monster yelps and pitiful dying noises didn't do a great deal to help matters either. Yes,
there was a good background atmosphere present but I've heard a lot more stronger and
covincing attempts.

Traditional RPG adventures aren't everyone's cup-o -
tea, but a good one can sell in abundance, bringing in
an audience that would normally be disinterested in
the genre. Dragonstone, however, just doesn't have
the elusive qualities to make it stand out.
Graphically it's pleasant enough, as is the sound,
but unf ort unat ely t he game lacks any real dept h
because the gameplay mainly revolves around enemy-
slaying and avoiding obstacles. The ght sequences
become so unbelievably tedious and turn it into more
of a hack-'n'-slash game than a brain-teasing puzzler.

GRAPHICS
The storyhne is
revealed as you
go along
3P/11
continually wit h monster after monster and wit hout
any warning they seem to corner you from all angles
until, inevitably, you die. More puzzles and less of
the hit-and-miss battles would have improved things
greatly.
In it s f avour t hough, t he game does have a
Password System - although t he words are just so
ridiculously long they defy belief - and it does have a
user-friendly interface, making t he actions easy t o
carry out.
I suspect this game would be more suited to those
new t o adventures, It doesn't have the usual thick
accompanying manual (a mere three pages, in fact),
there are no taxing magic spells to work out and the
entirely bad though. Some of the graphics portray the scenes
well, the forest, for example, or the dwellings of the mysterious
characters. Small touches like roaring res or even the ickering
of t o r c h e s w o r k n i c e l y i n e v o k i n g a r i c h
atmosphere.
However, some of the other scenes are just far t oo cliched.
For instance, t he burning pits of lava scene, shown as a bub-
bling red pool with white splodges. Convincing? Hardly!
And as for the monsters - they're quite laughable. The white
mud-monsters squelch at you, looking like extras from a Scooby
Doo cartoon, re-spitting plants extend their 'menacing' tenta-
cles out of the water, and missile-launching gargoyles add t o
this motley collection of ridiculous looking baddies_

The dragon boss requires timing rather than actual skill
puzzles are fairly logical. If you take the game at face
value you can derive some fun f rom it. It was quite
addictive for a while but memories of all the tedious
monsters put me of f returning f or another go - the
reappearing enemies would drive even those wit h
saintly patience up the wall.
Those that class themselves as die-hard adventure
fans might want t o give this a try, especially if it's a
slightly old-fashioned, straightforward RPG adven
ture they want
However, I don' t see t hat this will attract much
more t han a casual glance f rom a generat ion of
gamesplayers t hat have come t o expect high-tech
graphics and up-to-the-minute playability.

emmings. Bloody Lemmings! Can't
people just let go. Isn't i t time we
put them to sleep forever, time
they jumped off that big cliff in the
sky, time for Psygnosis to stop pro-
ducing games featuring those pesky
rodents who are extremely procient
at committing suicide?
The answer to all the above questions is a
resounding "Nor Why this reply? Well, due
to public demand and the fact that the
Lemmings series of games have sold like
proverbial hot takes, Psygnosis have decided
to release yet another puzzle extravaganza.
Don't get me wrong. I 'm not whinging
about it, in fact I'm quite happy that another
Lemmings game has appeared, but my mind
unfortunately wanders back to Lemmings 2:
The Tribes. This follow up was a huge
disappointment to me. I felt the creators had
tried too hard and unknowingly changed
the original winning formula beyond repair -
and perhaps their ideas were just a tad too
ambitious.
Despite this criticism from myself, the
game did damn well in the software charts
and punters everywhere were rushing to see
their doctors due to a serious second dose of
Lemmings fever.
Courtesy of those nice people at Psygnosis,
a third instalment is now here. Will this new
set of suicidal adventures reclaim some of the
Lemmings glory from years gone by, or will it
suffer like the sequel and end up jumping off
the nearest cliff?
Not everything .

INTRODUCTION
The mere sight
of a gorgeous
lady Lemming
it enough to
send these
boys int o
raptures onl y
for them to
end wit h their
brains spread
all over the
place
ADDITIONAL INFO
The All New World of Lemmings contaihs a set of
new characters who aren't actually Lemmings. This
gang of f our inhabit the various islands and thus
make the levels a lot harder to complete..
The Potato Beast attacks the suicidal heroes of
the game and should be avoided at all costs. The
Psycho Buzzard plucks the heads of f its helpless
green-haired victims whenever they walk past.
Lemme Fatale is a mimic who appears as a vision of
great beaut y t o al l t he l i t t l e Lemmings - she
attracts them one at a t ime and watches as they
commit suicide by blowing their brains out. These
sequences are f airly graphical, but you' ll nd
yourself laughing as they t end t o appear quit e
unexpectedly.
Last, but by no means least is t he Mol e.
Although this bespectacled f ellow isn't pure evil,
he does tend t o cause you a lot of problems. He
doesn't harm t he Lemmings, but instead digs all
over the place ruining some of your best laid plans.
The mole can be useful t o you t hough. Build
bricks in f ront of him and you can make him dig
where you want him to. The inclusion of these new
stars is a nice touch and it shows that the creators
haven't become t oo over ambit ious t his t i me
around.
All Na
World
Although it's by no means a musical spectacular, the sounds
)
contained wi t hi n Lemmings 3 are considerably improved
upon what your ears heard in the previous titles.
The menu music is suitably 'menu-like' and comes across as
some kind of t ribal t heme - appropriat e as you cont rol t hree
Lemming tribes in the game.
Each tribe has their own set of themed musical compositions. The Shadow
Lemmings have a set of spooky, atmospheric and mood-lled tunes which perfectl)
match their sneaky behaviour. As a nod and a wink back t o the past, the Classic Lemming!
wander around to the jingles from the original game, although this time around they've beer
improved and have become much more up-beat,
The Egyptian tribe music is, ahem, not very Egyptian like, but sounds very similgr t o thi
menu theme. This is not a huge problem and I could be accused of being petty, but it woula
have been nice if the music had been kept at the same standard.
Sound effects wit hin the puzzle-lled adventure are f ew and f ar between. Whenever
Lemming makes it to the level exit, he/she joyfully shouts "yippee", and before you decide t,
nuke them all they shout the now infamous "Oh No!". There is the odd smattering of speech her
and there, but apart from that there isn't too much to brag about in the noises
department. The music is quite good, although it's far too cheesy for my liking.

ark incidentally) lets you load save games,
practice, and select one of the three tribes

The rst thing you'll notice as soon as you start t o
play are the sprites and backdrops contained wit hin
the game I t looks very much like the graphics from
the rst foray into Lemmingsville, but somehow it's
altogether different.
Wit h ruler in hand and a quick measurement
later, my theory was conrmed, The various pixels in
this new piece of software are larger than the ones
seen in previous instalments. Coo!
A second look at the screen and not only are the

astounding accompanying soundtrack, but

Lemmings themselves bigger, but they've been ani-
mated f ar better. It's probably due t o the new size
of the graphics which enables the artists to include a
lot more small, but important details.
There are three tribes to play around with; Classic.
Egyptian and Shadow. Each t ribe is stylised and
although all t he Lemmings t end t o do t he same
things (i.e. build bridges, dig, etc.), there is a distinct
difference between the three tribes.
The classics have still got that infamous 'bouncy'
walk, but the Egyptians perform a traditional 'sand
dance' while t he Shadow (ninjas t o you and me)

Not only have the sprites been given a new lick of

Only have to take a quick glance at the screenshots
to see how well they've improved over the previous
Lemmings incarnations.
Overall you'd have t o say t hat this new version
beats the others hands down when it comes to the
graphic side of things_ The whole look of the game
hasn't changed t hat drastically f rom t he original
concept. Instead it's been given a good spring clean
and everything you see is bigger and bet-
ter than anything that's gone before.

OPINION
It's been quite a few years since I last played Lemmings and after playing the All
New World of Lemmings for the last couple of weeks I didn't realise until now
just how much I had missed those pesky rodents and their infuriating puzzles.
There are still some annoyances though. When you 'nuke' your tribe, there
are (not very good) explosions all over the place, but then disaster strikes as the
screen fades to black far t oo quickly. What happened t o the mass pixelated
destruction which appeared in the original game?
The control system is still very similar to the original one, but there is a big
difference. Instead of having dig, swim, build and oat icons, the game substi-
tutes all those activities for just one action icon. If a Lemming picks up an item,
he keeps it unt il he dies or nds the exit. This might've caused a problem
because all the Lemmings look identical, but luckily this fear of mine was
suppressed.
With a quick stab of the right -but t on on the mouse, t he garb t hat the
Lemming is wearing changes colour, making it much easier to see him among
his identical chums. This new control system takes a bit of getting used to, but
thanks to its simplicity you'll soon be back on a Lemmings rescue mission.
If, by the way, you detest Lemmings in every possible form and dislike the
idea of having t o aCtually make your brain solve a puzzle, then this particular
piece of software is not for you, in fact put this magazine ,
down right now and go away.
Anyone who played the original game and liked it
will love to get their hands on a copy of Psygnosis' lat-
est offering. It's what you might call a conglomeration o L D of old and new. The old being the original and incredi-
bly addictive gaming concept, t he new being t he t A W A R D '
advances in graphics and sound. These t wo elements
combined make f or a rip-roaring action-packed 90-level
Olm.
' AMIGA'.
puzzler that just gets better and better the more you play.

The All New World of Lemmings will make you cry when you
lose a Lemming, it'll make you smile when you complete a level and it will even
make you shout in anger when you mess up a level due to your lack of dexterity
with t he mouse. Quite simply, Psygnosis have come up wit h an emotion-lled
puzzler that will delight any Amiga gamer wit h a fondness f or those suicidal,
green-haired Lemmings who just don't seem to go away.
On that subject, you'll notice that this game only contains three tribes, Well,
don't, or maybe do fret because they'll be corning your way soon in the shape of
three cash-sapping Lemming adventures featuring all t he other tribes. It does
seem that with these releases the Lemming phenomena will carry on going from
strength to strength.

FLASHBACK
Platformers always raise cyni-
cism whenever they are men-
tioned. However, what Virgin
and Disney have achieved
wit h their latest releases has
to be seen to be believed and
has contributed a great deal
in showing t hat platformers
can be a respectable thing t o
play once again - even if you
are over 151
However, Flink probably
doesn't have the wide appeal
t hat woul d reach an adult
audience. It is perhaps a little
' t wee' f or a more cerebral
gamesplayer's taste, but f or
a younger player I couldn' t
recommend t h i s hi ghl y
enough.
It maybe doesn't have the
charm of some of t he latest
releases or the huge amounts
of wit that some have, but it
more than compensates with
invent ive gamepl ay t hat
would be ideal f or introduc-
ing a child t o the rudiments
of computing.
STORYLINE
SOUND
lmagica Island - a place lled wit h sunshine and
peaceloving f olk who like not hing more i n lif e
than to cast helpful spells. Life is all very pleasant
until Wicked Wainwright , t he evil wizard, gets a
bit nasty, captures the f our wise rulers and takes
over the Island. Unfortunately f or the wizards he
also takes t heir spirits, bundles t hem int o f our
crystals and scatters them throughout the island.
Wainwright also causes a f ew pollut ion prob-
lems wit h his volcanic HQ which gives of f black
smoke. All is lost, unt il: Enter superhero (fanfare
please) Flink. Granted he doesn't look much like a
hero but he's an apprent ice wizard - so it ' s a
start.
It's down t o him t o clear t he clouds, nd t he
magical ingredients to cast spells and recover the
crystals. He can then face Wicked Wainwright and
recapture the Island for the forces of good.
Again the rather cheerful standard platform tunes are used.
They're not all that original but work well wit h the game-
play and surprisingly, they don't grate on the nerves. There
are 16 tunes in all, and each varies from t he more dramatic
'beat-the-dock' types to the light and jovial.
Actual effects are varied and for nearly every action there
is an appropriate sound_ Forty six different effects are used
from splashes of water to springs, and there are
also the usual 'boings' and 'twangs'
70i
There's a good range of baddies that all require different skills to defeat
GRAPHICS
Graphically, Flink really holds some nice surprises
Alt hough i t is not perhaps t he most original of
games, especially wit h t he design of the sprite or
some of the enemies, it came across as a particularly
polished effort. Consoles have pretty much ruled the
roost as far as good-looking games go, and it's nice
to see that the CD32 is getting a look in.
Animation, f rom the smallest enemy t o the main
sprite, is smooth and goes a long way in bringing
humour. For instance, when Flink creates the wrong
spell the cauldron picks him up and knocks his head
from side t o side in a typical show of cartoon vio-
lence -complete with stars around the headl
The backdrops, t hough, are by f ar t he most
impressive feature. Beautifully illustrated scenes have
been cleverly constructed to create the make-believe
island of Imagica. Foreground detail shows pretty
much what you' d expect and cont ains all t he

fades int o t he distance and uses many layers t o

So rather than having just background and fore

OPINION
At rst glance i t is easy t o dismiss Rink as yet another
cutesy platformer. To some extent this is true but it has
been created wit h such ne at t ent ion t o det ail t hat it
really stands Out among other games of this type. To see a
platformer of this quality for the CD32 is a good sign and
will be a great step forward in bringing the machine to a
younger audience. Even f or the older platform fan, this
offering is of good enough quality to think about buying.
Considering the game is available for a mere E14.99 and
there are a massive 52 levels to get through, this has got
to be value f or money. The game has a good learning
curve and, whi l e bei

PLAYABILITY
The different elements all combine
to make a t horoughl y enjoyable
game. The plat f orm sections have
been designed well to test both joy-
stick dexterity and careful co-ordina-
tion. Puzzles are introduced in t he
f orm of magic spells - you collect
various ingredients and as you nd
the scrolls they inf orm you of how
to create certain spells, This works
well and will ensure longevity.
A map system means you can re-
visit levels t o collect extra magic
energy and spell ingredients. Certain
spells allow access t o other parts of
the world, such as a Spirit worl d
spell which allows Fink t o visit a
metaphysical world, or a Shrink spell
The methods of getting to other
levels change, such as
teleportation, and add variety
that can make him small enough to
get int o a secret zone - therefore,
the game can be played i n many
different ways.
As every platform fan will know,
'collectibles' are an integral part of
the gameplay. This game uses trea-
sure chests t hat can be f ound and
broken into, and will contain a col-
lectable like a Scroll - some of these
contain information, others will tell
you how t o perform spells. This is a
much bet t er idea t han having t o
keep referring back to a manual,
The magic objects need to be col-
lected f rom t he thieves, but they
have to be caught rst which makes
anice change from having to simply
collect them. Other enemies need to
be disposed of t oo either by being
jumped on or by t hrowing objects
found in the scene, such as rocks or
treasure chests.

SOUND
The map system would have been a
helpful feature if it was clearer
The main feature of this game is the speech. Fortunately, being a
different character, t he voice has been changed so that it is deep
and slow, so it's slightly less irritating - but not much. Call me awk-
ward but I really don't nd repetitive whinging at all endearing. I'm
afraid this grated on my nerves just as much as the original_
Yes, it's all a very clever concept and it does make a nice change
to a textual adventure, but it is still annoying. Ney, it is not hing
short of rude, i n fact. Who needs verbal abuse f rom comput er
sprites? In parts he tells you ' Don' t be stupid." The rest of the time
he grumbles and moans, such as "I hate this castle" or "My arm
hurts". It's not amusing, it doesn't enhance the game and it bored
me no end.
Thankfully, you can l i mi t t he sound t o merely t he essential
phrases but then why buy a speech adventure in t he rst place?
There is an impressive amount of speech involved - 4,250Ks wort h
and over 1000 words - but in some places you have to replay them
again and again before you can make out the meaning. Then the
character has the nerve to turn around and say "You know what this
is" or "I've seen this before." Yes, I know. But if he could speak with
some clarity for a change it would make a difference.
The background sounds are good, though, and add to the atmo-
sphere of the game. Dramatic footsteps pound the corridors, wat er
ripples, and birds tweet in the background. It's all the usual stuff but
brings a nice touch to the proceedings.

When Valhalla was released it created a new game type - it
wasn't the usual type of adventure, or a puzzler or a plat
former. Despite its faults, it brought forward a new style of
gaming and it was original at least! So how do the t wo
compare?
Well, t o be honest, in design they don't differ a great
deal at all. Graphical style is very similar, the icon system
identical and the basic principles the same. The main differ
ence is the speech. Whereas the rst had something closely
resembling Porky Pig on acid, we now have the opposite.
More the Incredible Hulk on hash.
Now though, if you don't like the speech at least you can
limit it to only the essential phrases, but this is pointless as it
is meant to be a speech adventure - the game's main selling
point! You can actually skip all the storyscreens and credits
this time which is a welcome addition once you've seen it a
couple of times.
Compared to other adventures like Simon the Sorcerer or
Monkey Island that have wit, humour and charming graph.
ics, I'm afraid I would quite happily sacrice the speech for
one of those games. It tries to be funny....but fails.
adaptable t o dif f erent scenarios. The characters
aren't that great though. They do speak in time due
to Vulcan's Lip-Sync engine, which is something, but
they don't really have any character or charm.
The t op-down perspective has been used again
and gives a good 3D look, but it's not without its fair
share of problems. For example, sometimes it's hard
to see what an object is, or whet her an object is
collectable or part of the set.

I must admit i'm very cynical. The idea was ne as far

as it went...last time. There are people who loved the
original and who will love more of t he same. But f or
the average gamesplayer that's looking f or a new
adventure title, 35 f or f our levels is hardly the bar-
gain of t he year, especially as this isn' t really t he
proper sequel - only something to keep you happy in
between!
I don' t know whether they expect fans to fork out
this amount of money now and then fork out another
lot in a couple of months for the sequel or what, but it

, ginal you'll like this - it's more of the same thing.
To it's credit, all the levels are cleverly contained on
separate disks so there's no swapping between levels_
It's also hard disk installable and the puzzles did work
quite nicely. But f or me - and a lot of people in the
ofce who kept telling me to turn the volume down -
it just became too irritating.
It does leave me wit h the slight problem of how to
mark this. I gave Valhalla and the Lord of Innity 93
per cent and this does have some improvements.
However, t he price and t he f act it ' s only an i n-
between edition makes me inclined to lower the mark
signicantly_ And inevitably it loses Its novelty value.
For true Valhalla fans - who just happen to have 35
begging - only I think.

PLAYABILITY
The game is based around the idea of puz-
zle solving. You nd objects, interact wit h
other characters and make the various con-
nections wit h the clues. This is one of the
elements t hat worked wel l i n Valhalla,
Before the War. They are all f airly logical
and take more working out than the origi-
nal, so it will provide longevity.
The icon system works well, especially as
it is joystick controlled However, I would
have liked to have been able to pick up an
object and be t old what it is rather than
have t o pick it up, click on t he object and
then click on the look icon, It's a small point
but it makes a difference.

kryogenics plant on t he outskirts of
Monstro City, strange goings on start
to get even stranger.
Kryogenic mutations, known as
Psykogenix, appear on t he streets,
f orcing t he populace f rom t hei r
homes until the entire city is overrun
by the DEAD Inc. monstrosities. News
of this out rage reaches the head-
quart ers o f M A D ( Mi l i t a r y
Assertainment Department) and spe-
cial operat ives are dispatched t o
Monstro City. Only one returns and
the survivor, i n his dying breat h,
speaks of a t errible Psyko Machine
being created in Moribund Kadaver's
mobile laboratory- Dead 1.
In desperation, MAD call upon the
services of a team of morbid merce-
naries known as the Skeleton Krew.

SOUND
For what seems like years now, I've been whinging about
the current state of computer game music and just how bad
it is t he majorit y of t he time. The company which has
impressed me the most over the last couple of years is Core
Design. Their sound department seems
.
t o g e t b e t t e r
a n d
better and f or Skeleton Krew, t he boys have made an
important step forward.
Instead of your bog-standard computer music, they've
lovingly embraced the thumping beats that go together to
make a hip-hop/rap track. Skeleton Krew opens with some
atmospherics, a quick voice sample and then the loudest,
meanest, biggest baddest drum loop thumps in and threat-
ens t o destroy your sound speakers. Listen to the t une
Joint wanders
around one of
the ooded
rooms. Behind
there are a pair
of mysterious
eyes. What
happens if we
get a bit closer?
Crikey! Now!
didn't expect
that to happen,
although
perhaps!
should've know
better than to
trust a pair of
mysterious eyes
The rst level completed and Joint makes his
way down the lif t shaft. On the wa y he bumps
into some rather nasty aliens who can be
disposed of wit h a f e w well-timed shots
GRAPHICS
I've al ready made comparisons
between Skeleton Krew and the big
screen and i t ' s al l t hanks t o t he
game's wonderf ul l y chunky and
highly stylistic graphics. The charac-
ters and backdrops have been drawn
so that they reect the dark, moody
and f ut urist ic at mosphere of t he
product.
As you might have guessed f rom
the screenshots, Skeleton Krew is a
3D isomet ric ei ght -way scrolling
shoot-'em-up, but this could have
caused unt ol d probl ems f or t he
enough times and it's quite easy to imagine someone like
Cypress Hill rapping over the top of it!
This is my rst musical highlight of 1995 and it's all
thanks to Core Design who have obviously got the intelli-
gence t o use someone who is skilled at creating original
pieces of high-quality music that belong in the '90s and not
the '80s.
Other musical moments worth a mention are the huge
pounding set of drums which play in between levels, and to
get the best out of them they must be turned up as loud as
possible. The actual in-game music is slight, but luckily
atmospheric enough to keep you happy. The sound effects
are also very impressive and compliment the hot shoot-'em-
up action perfectly.
The character selection screen where you
can choose between Joint Rib and Spine.
Fach one has their own distinct
advantages. but the choice is yours
90%
developers as al most
every angle has had t o
be catered for.
The three main char-
acters (Rib, Joint and
Spine) have t hei r own
attributes and are capable
of t ur ni ng a whol e 360
degrees. At the end of the day, I
don't suppose it matters which one of
the 'krew' you choose, but at least you
can make that choice.
The ani mat i ons are qui t e good,
especially when some of your enemies
die, and it's more than likely that you'll
be impressed by the huge end-of-level
guardian. The levels vary quit e a bit
and there are enormous
colour changes as you
progress int o the later
stages of t he game.
The graphics are very
impressive and it's obvi-
ous that they've been cre-
ated by someone wi t h a
love f or science ct ion lms
and comic books.
Skeleton Krew looks pretty damn
good and although I would have liked
to have seen enemies t hat vary a bit
more, I can still doff my cap to Core's
graphic designers.

A skeleton is the rigid or semi rigid framework that
supports an animal's body, protects its internal
organs, and provides anchorage points for its mus-
cles. The skeleton may be composed of bone and
cartilage (vertebrates), chitin (arthropods), calcium
carbonate (molluscs and ot her invertebrates). I t
may be internal, formi ng an endoskeleton, or
external, forming an exoskeleton.
The skeleton is constructed f rom bones, Bone is
hard connective tissue. It consists of a network of
collagen bres, impregnated wit h inorganics, espe-
cially calcium phosphate. Enclosed wit hin this solid
matrix are bone cells, blood vessels and nerves.
In strength, t he toughest bone is comparable
wit h reinforced concrete. Humans have about 206
distinct bones in the skeleton. The interior of long
bones consists of a spongy matrix lled wit h a soft
marrow that produces blood cells. Here endeth the
science lesson.

shoot-'em-up and although Skeleton Krew didn't manage to corn-
pletely satisfy my hunger, it certainly left me starving for some more.
I do like the game, but I've got a fondness for shoot-'em-ups anyway,
so the casual gamer might want to have a look elsewhere. For people who
are interested in stabbing that re button as fast as possible, Skeleton Krew could well be
your cup of tea.
It's got a higher body count than your average Quentin Tarrantino movie and it looks the
part in the dark and moody graphics department. Core's blaster has also got the added bonus
of a truly excellent soundtrack and in places it can get quite addictive, but it's unfortunately
let down by a high boredom factor.
Not all of the six levels has got an end-of-level guardian which is a real shame as the one in
the rst level is very impressive. The simple fact of the matter is that Skeleton Krew, despite its
appearances, just isn't different enough f rom its competitors t o warrant a really high score,
although shoot-'em-up fanatics will no doubt love it to bits.
Core's game is certainly tough enough to keep you going for quite some time and because
of the sheer quality of the comic book-style graphics and the thumping hip-hop soundtrack,
I'm happy enough t o increase the percentage, but casual admirers of the genre might feel
that -

xcuse me, but can I just ask you garners Out
there a question? Was I the only person who
liked Diggers? It certainly appeared so con-
sidering t he percentage scores in the ot her
Amiga magazines.
I t hought Diggers was a piece of gaming
genius_ Toby Simpson, Millennium game designer and
programmer had come up wi t h a wonderf ul and
highly original idea that should've sold by the bucket
load.
Just because it wasn't a TV/lm license, cutesy plat-
former or a dull mind-numbing shoot'emup. people
seemed t o reject the whole concept. The idea of dig-
ging mi ght not sound like t he world' s best gaming
idea, but you only had to spend a few hours tinkering
around wi t h Diggers bef ore you became t ot al l y
addicted.
What people have also f orgot t en is t hat Diggers
was the world's rst CO32-specic title. The hype sur-
rounding Commodore's console was approaching dan-
gerous levels and eventually, expectations and set
opinions grew inside gamer's minds and that's where
the damage was done.
The comparisons t o Lemmings were terribly unjust
and after exploding wit h the might of new CD tech-
nology support ing it , Diggers just seemed t o f ade

The game is now called Extractors and although it's
a title that prompts a couple of obvious gags, it should
become a name that will be seen and heard all over
the place by the time it's released in early March.

evolved f or t he job of digging appeared f rom some
far away dist ant planet . The Zargoni an Mi neral
Trading Authority saw this rich opportunity arise and
immediately employed them to extract jewels and fuel
from the planet.
The newly employed aliens worked so well that the
mines soon became exhausted and it began t o cost
the ZMI A more money than they had bargained for.
There were, luckily, a few more places where the land
was rich in jewels and fuel called the Floating Lands.
DEFENCES
These huge masses are inhabited by t he Flinarj, a
peaceful race who built machines to allow t heir land

by t he Quarriors. ZMI A t ried t o t ake t he lands by
force, but they're protected by an enormous shield_
The shield is powered by 24 generators, all of which
have t o be destroyed t o enable the ZMTA access t o
the lands. At this moment in time a question of morals
comes int o play. Does your race leave the Flinarjians
alone or do you join the ZMTA for loads of money and
take out the shield generators? If you're about to play

One of the many worlds to be expiored and
excavated. Millennium's dig-'em-up is coming
your way in March 1995 - don't miss it i
or want t o play Extractors, then your answer has t o
be the latter.
You must t ravel f rom oat ing worl d t o world,
nding and destroying the shield generators while,
at the same time, successfully mining enough fuel to
get to the next land. You won' t get very far wit hout
any equipment , so, as in Diggers, you' ll have t o
extract the jewels out of the ground f or that essen-
tial bit of cash.
I suppose if you had t o knock Diggers, and quite
frankly I don't feel the need to, then you could com-
ment that the levels were a bit too open-ended and
thus lef t you wandering about f or ages. Thanks t o
Extractors and the fact that you've got specic tasks
to achieve, t he whol e game becomes f ar more
focused and more enjoyable to play.
Extractors will appear on the CD32 only because it
would be impractical t o try and make it work on the
lower-end machines, due t o t he sheer amount of
processing t hat goes int o this dig-' em-up. Luckily,
Al200 and A4000 owners wit h a compatible CD-ROM
drive will be able to experience the wonderful world
of Extractors.
What has Extractors got that Diggers didn't have?
Well, f or starters, practically everything wit hin t he

game has been improved or enhanced in some way
or another. Extractors uses 256 colours t hroughout
and features six totally different terrain types, each
wit h its own set of animations, colour cycling effects
and parallaxed backgrounds.
The game includes 3D-Studio rendered sequences,
both in-game and end sections_ CO32 owners wi l l
need the Full Mot ion Video cartridge to get the best
out of these animations, but having said that, they
do look quite good without the need for the add-on.
SOUNDEFFECTS
Audio is still just as good, but this time t he sound
effects are far more extensive and each terrain type
has its own CD audio backing track. For those people
who accused Diggers of being 'dull', there are now
timed bonus levels set on the asteroid levels, which
are primed t o explode as soon as t he player has
entered them.
One t hing t hat impressed me about Diggers was
just how much time I spent playing the damn thing.
One single game could take up t o an hour t o com-
plete and luckily, Extractors is not t oo dif f erent in
that respect. Even f or t he player t hat does every-

thing right there are, at least, SO hours of solid play-
ing time. Thankfully, there is the ability to save your
game between levels, allowing you t o rest your joy-
pad and your eyes.
Well, that's about all there is to know and all you
need k now about Extractors because no doubt
you're salivating at t he prospect of playing it. I've
had my pre-production copy in for a while now and I
still yet to tire of it. It looks, sounds and more impor-
tantly, plays even better than before.
This is now your last warning. I t old you Diggers
was good, but f or some strange reason you ignored
me, so this time I'm going to keep quiet. If you snub
the wonderf ul world of Extractors when it hits the
shop shelves in March, that's nobody's loss but your
own.

trategy games. Just what is t heir appeal? I
mean the basis for them usually involves tak-
ing on a job that you wouldn' t normally do,
from playing mayor of a city t o a railroad
entrepreneur. But the software houses seem
to be able to take what is usually a mundane
task and t urn it int o a whole host of possibilities f or
an interesting game.
Microprose, t he strategy-meisters themselves, have
really taken the biscuit this time, well rather the pizza
base, wi t h t heir latest of f ering t hat puts you in t he

have gone and turned t he norms of sim games com-

style and added a completely fresh approach t o what
is sometimes perceived as being a dull genre.
To win you don't play by the rules! It's not going to
be t he easy, relaxing game it sounds! The world of
making it big in the pizza trade isn't what it used t o
be and needs someone who doesn't get going when
the going gets tough. And if you can't stand the heat,

Rome, Moscow, Zurich, Vienna, Stockholm or Berlin.
Decide on one of t he many locations and t hen it' s
down to some serious business.
Apart f rom the obvious making of the pizzas, you
have t o furnish your restaurant - it's no good making
your caviar and lobster pizzas if your restaurant looks
like Grubby Graham's transport cat'. Choice of decor is
t ied i nt o how much money you have available, so
you' ll have t o take this in t o consideration bef ore
rushing out and spending tonnes of cash on a designer
carpet - especially if your nances are in a mess.
Talking of nances, you can raise dough (sorry)
from banks. On t he ot her hand, a bit of corruption
woul dn' t go a miss at t his point because you can
always resort t o t he Maa! There's many an under-
hand task available f or those that are willing, or just
those in dire nancial straits. Don' t get on the wrong
a
side of the mob though, especially by not repaying
loans, else you could nd yourself back on t he
streets.
The choice of your staff is also an important factor
in your restaurant. You can hire and re employees
at your discretion. The personnel screens provide you
wit h all t he inf ormat ion you need including t heir
salaries, intelligence, mot ivat ion and t hat kind of
All aspects of restaurant business are down to yoo

on the supplier you use, the quality of the products
will differ. The game does mark your pizzas quit e
closely. There's a recipe book provided, so of you get
your culinary masterpieces close t o theirs you' ll be
rewarded accordingly.
For t he prosperous entrepreneur, there's a move
into the big time. The overall aim is to become mar-
ket leader and eventually have world dominat ion in
the pizza stakes. Competition is erce and it's going
to be one tough cookie to crack.
With what we've seen so far, things are already
looking pret t y impressive. It's a new and original
concept and I can' t wai t t o see t he nal version.
Pizza Tycoon wi l l be coming t o an A500 near you
very soon and will be priced at 29.99.

Ami ga i s g o i n g t o
oncentrate mai nl y on bootabl e

our own. This process is somewhat
omplicated by what version of the
perati ng System you own, and
hat your target market is goi ng
o be for the disk.
Users of Workbench 1. 3 ' what
tiliTli won't be abl e to use disks
that have been formatted using the
East File System fEESI or Directory
Caching File System (DCES) whi ch
are available wi th Release 2 and 3
of Workbench respectively. Nor will
an Ami ga equi pped wi th versi on
1.3 be able to use most C: directory
commands from l ater versions of
Workbench.
So, unfor tunatel y, unl ess you
del i ber atel y wa nt t o excl ude
Workbench 1. 3 users from usi ng
your di sk, ei ther for matters of
taste and common sense, or for
softwar e r easons. Le . you' ve

W h a

are Appwi ndowsr, say the last of
the 1. 3 users - you wi l l need to
Format your di sk as OFS (l osi ng
about 42K i n t he process'. and
make sure you only include Release
1.3 libraries, C commands, devices,
etc.
(OMMFM05
Unless ther e i s a real l y good
reason to. I woul d suggest you
make use of FES and Rel ease 2
commands on your di sk t o gi ve
Workbench 1. 3 users yet another
reason to upgrade their machines.
After all, 42K is goi ng to be about
a pi ctur e' s wor t h, or anot her
sample. I t mi ght even mean t he
di fference between putti ng your
program or animation on oppy or
not.
Not wi t hst andi ng t hese con-
siderations, there are two methods
to making a bootable oppy. There
Is the subtracti on method, whi ch
relies on you knowi ng what you
can a nd c a nt del et e fr ont an
already exi sti ng bootabl e nappy.
and the addition method, for which
you will need to know what les to
add to an empty, formatted disk i n
order for it to work.
The former method works better
for disks that are going to need full
Workbench compatibility and onl y
a smal l amount of space f or
whatever it is you are goi ng to put
on i t. The addi ti on method works
best if you want to put lots of you
own stuff onto a bootable disk an
don't necessarily need Workbench,
for example a slide show.

The subt ract i on met hod
Here's the recipe. First take a standard
bootable disk - the best example for this
would be Workbench - and make a copy of
it. Rename the disk to whatever it is you wish
to call it and make sure this disk is in your
boot drive idf0:1.
Next, reboot your machine to check that
everything is working If you are getting a
Workbench as expected we can proceed
onto the next step. However, rst we need to
ask ourselves a question: 'How much room
do I need to free up to t my stuff onto this
disk?'
If the answer to this question is over 800K
you are going to need to rethink your
strategy. But let's assume you are only going
to need a couple of hundred kilobytes of
space - check the boxout on these pages to
seehow much space you can reclaim on
Maki ng space
The following is a list of les you can delete from the various
workbench versions to give space on your bootable oppy for your
programs
Workbench 1.2/1.3
In the C: directory you can get rid of vanous les which won't get
used much, or if you want to go the whole hog you can just leave
the les in the second list.
Deleting some: ChangeTaskPri, DiskChange, DiskDoctor, Ed Edit
Lock Search - that will tree up about 54K. If you want just the
absolutely necessary les in your C; directory, the following are the
ones you should leave: Addlluffers. Assign, indDrivers. Break. CD,
Copy, Echo. Endal. Execute. FF, List LoadWB, MakeDir, Mount Path,
Resident, Run, Setpatch and Wait - this should free up about 138K.
You could free up even more if you wanted to mess with the Startup-
Sequence and Startuoll
You can delete the fonts in the fonts drawer, leaving oniy Topaz,
which gives you about 3.5K back, and delete the Translator, library,
SpeakHandler and Narratordevice in Ubs:, L: and Devs: respectively
if your application isn't going to need speech. This will gain you
about 37K.
If you don't want people to change the way you have set up Frets
on this boot disk, you can delete the whole Prefs drawer which will
save you roughly 60K. Beware though. as this means that they
won't be at * to change the printer driver or serial port settings.
If you're realty desperate for a bit of space, you can get rid of the
CLI-Startup, DRAT, PCD. Shell-Startup, SPATand Startup-sequence. HD
les in your S: directory for a massive saving of nearly 4K.
In the systemdrawer. if you really wanted, you could get rid of

everything except SetMap, but this would mean that your user
wouldn't be able to format or copy a disk - or open a CU window. It
would, however, save you up to 43K depending on which bits you
actually got rid of.
Finally, you can dump the entire Utilities drawer, with the possible
exception of More, for a saving of a further 120K.
Workbench 2.04,2.05
C: Directory savings can be made as follows
- A v a i l ,
C h a n g e T a s k P r i ,
CPU, DiskChange, DiskDoctor, Ed Edit, Lock, MakeLink, Protect,
Search and Type, for a saving of 59K.
The bate knuckle C: directory should look like this: AddBuffers,
Assign, BinclDrivers, ConClip. Copy, Delete, Execute, IPrets, Join,
LoadW13. MakeDir, Mount, SetPatch, and Version - this will save
around 88K. Again, more could be saved if you were willing to edit
the Startup-sequence.
In Devs: all the kernaps but the one from your country can be
happily deleted, returning about 17K to you.
If you don't want to provide ARexx support for your slide show
you can delete the following. I n Libs: rexxsupportlibrary and
rexxsysliblittrary for 36K, the Row directory for 4.5K and Reuchilast
in the systemdrawer for 2K giving a grand total of 52.5K.
You could delete all the programs in the Prefs drawer for a further
saving of nearly 1601( but it will mean that no-one will be able to
alter your Workbench setup. Try not to delete the drawer inside Refs
called Env-Aichive, as it will cause problems with your Startup-
sequence
Once more, you can delete the whole Utilities drawer with the
possible exception of the program More for a 50K saving.

The addi t i on met hod
This method isn't quite aseasy to create a
bootable Workbenchdisk and it takes longer. ri
you just want a booting disk that isn't going to
have anything to do with Workbenchthough, a
slideshow or demodisk for instance, then this is
the easiest way.
Rememberingwhat I saidearlier about the
different revisions of Workbench, format your
disk. Formatting asFast File Systemwill give you
about 42Kextra, but will stopWorkbench12
usersfrom usingyour disk
Next youwill have to create a bootblock for
tne disk to enabie it to autoboot This isdone by
opening a Shell window and typing Install Drive
00 Be Carefui though! If youonly have one
oppy drive, make sure your workbenchckskIS
write-protectedsothat youdon't install that by
mistake.
Once you have successfully installedyour
bootdrsk youcanstart bunging les onto it. If
youare usingWorkbenchI 3 It isa good idea
to put an1_,directory on the disk containingthe

Chunkier savings coming up. Remember, these are the only les that
should stay in your C: directory. not the ones you should delete:
Addeuffers, Assign, BindDrivers, ConClip, Copy, Delete, Execute, IPrefs,
List, LoadW13, MakeDir. Mount, SetPatch. and Version This restores
about 79k to your oppy disk
InDevs: we can get ridof postscript_initps for a 5K bonus and in L
we candump CossDOSFileSystem and the FileSystem_Trans drawer fora
further 26K. In Libs: we can ditch the Rem Wanes if we don't need
them, along with the Rexxc directory and RexxMast in the system
drawer for a gain of 4 IK. The Prefs drawer in 2.1 is empty, so no
savings canbe made there, apart from the odd halt a kilobyte gained by
dumping an icon or two. As with other Workbench versions you can
ditchall the scripts inthe S. directory, apart from the Startup-sequence. if
youneed to get that 2K back, arid you are welcome to get rid of the
Clock and Display programs from Utibes for a nal 39K.
Workbench 3.0
The savings in the C: directory just keepcoming. Although for the most
part Commodore keep rewritingthe commands to make them smaller
and neater, they just keep on coming up with new ones that we can
delete: Avail, ChangeTaskPri. CPU, DiskChange, Ed, Edit, Lock,
MagTape. Maketinic. Protect RequesteChoice, RequestFile. Searchand

But for real savings labout B7KI, just leave these commands in your

them all for a grand total of 90Ksaved, but I wouldn't delete the les
inClasses/Gadgets because they are used by the system for Prefs,
among other things
If youhave deleted the datatypes in Classes/Datatypes, you can also
delete the datatypes in Devs:datatypes because they will serve no
function. These don't add up to a big savingthough. only about 2K.
While we're onDevs: you can get ridof the Postscriptinitps le as
well for anextra SK.
Going on t o L.. del eti ng CrossDOSFileSystem and the
FileSystem_Transdrawer will give you back 26K. Following the details
givenin Workbench 2 and 2.1 will get ridof the AReyor capabilnes of
your Amiga for 4IK, and dumping all textles in 5 apart from the
Startup-Sequence will add 2K to the total. Finally, getting nd of the
Clock and Multiview programs from your utilities drawer will give you
36Kback.
Workbench 3.1
This is pretty much the same as Workbench 3.0 but you can also
delete the nonvolatilekbrary and realtime.library from Fibs: to get
about 7Kback.
MLIIIMEWis even bigger now, so deleting that and the clock will
give back 44K, rather than 411( and in C: there is a le called
LoadResource that canhappily be dumped for anadditional 4K.
These aren't all the savings that can be made, but they are a good
startingpoint and should be pretty safe. It you are onneed of further
room, try editing the Startup-sequence to get rid of commands like
Conclipwhich takes up a lot of space trelauvelyi, or dumping further
kbranes like the maths ones.
When you delete stuff keep rebooting your machine to check that
it still works sothat you don't end up getting ridstuff and not being

O e t o i n i
efore spotlighting the bi g names i n Amiga 30 on a individual
basis, it's well worth runni ng over a few basic rules of thumb
which invariably save massive amounts of time and frustration
for any 30 enthusiast.
Desi gn essent i al s
Before even putting mouse to mat it's
essential that any designer has a rm plan
of action, especially if the project is to be
animated.
Its all too easy to charge head-long into
a design session, only to discover tour
hours later that your pride and joy is
totally unsuitable, or worse still. incapable
of performing as required within the arm.
As a consequence, fairly detailed
planning of both the objects and the
animation as a whole is essential. In
general. object design is the rst and
easiest part of the prxess Can the object
interact wit h other elements on the
animation as planned? Will the basic
design allow for the desired movement
and so on?
Secondly, but equally important, is
storyboarding. Although roughly
sketching out your models is essential,
actually putting them in context is all
important.
For example, ri you re designing an
architectural y-through you could save
yourself hours of work by simply knowing
in advance what will and won't be seen
during the animation
If you have a story-board at hand you'll
know exactly what will be required for
each shot, and better still you'll also have
an approximation of the angle from which
it will be viewed. This immediately offers
two huge time-saving advantages over a
simple list of elements.
IIME-51111111
Firstly, there's the reduction in design
and rendering time, plus the all-important
memory requirements For example, your
rooms will all need doors, which may - on
occasion - require fairly extensive design
touches such as panelling, bevelling,
handles, key holes and so on.
Modelling from a simple list would
usually mean one fully-detailed door being
copied and pasted around the entire
building, when in reality only one or two
Mot i on cont r ol
Obviously, mot ion control of both t he camera and objects wit hin a scene is all
important, and often causes more heartache than almost any ot her aspect of
animation.
The key - excuse the pun - is to keep things as simple as possible. at least during the
initial design stages. The trick to effective motion of both actors arid the camera is to
use as few key frames as possible.
To start with, just add a key at the First and last frames for the shot you require. For
ying logos and so on this is often the rst and last frame in the entire ann. However,
for more complex production which may require camera cuts, the process does need to
be segmented into individual shots. Again your story-board comes into its own.
If you've done your homework you should already know the shots you want and the
duration between them. Having said that, I strongly advise making camera motion to
last.
Like a real-world studio, rehearsal for the actors is all important. Are the actors where
they should be, is the ghting correct, are there any unwanted collisions and so on?
All very easy to spot from a suitable static vantage point but if the camera Is cutting
from shot to shot or panning wildly rt's almost impossible to direct the action amidst the
growing confusion of camera angles and animated objects.
This particular rule of thumb even applies to packages such as Lightwave, which can
generate wireframe previews from a number of view points The reason is that mixing
direction with camera work almost always ends up with a compromise of one kind or
another. Obviously, the temptation is to pull all the elements together as quickly as
possible, but try to keep the traditional theatrical process in mind - it will pay dividends
in the long term.
A nal tip when it comes to object motion. Wherever possible, don't forget to make
full use of the easean and ease-out options on your particular package. All modern
packages have some form of control over the acceleration of individual actors. This is
especially useful for ying logo productions as it often adds that all-important touch of
class to the production.
There's nothing that looks more amateurish than logos which slam into place or
elements which move at a totally at speed across the screen. Remember, corporate
productions need all the impact and panache they can muster, so it's essential you
don't overlook the nishing touches - they often make all the difference.

may require high detail or more
Importantly be seen from both sides.
Obviously, a detailed storyboard would
mean you'd know in advance where
unnecessary detail could be eliminated,
thereby minimising wastage on all manner
of elements within the animation.
Whenever possible, it is always
advisable to build to scale. At rst this may
not seem very important. however after
you've been modelling for some time
you'll soon develop an extensive library of
objects which often become an invaluable
resource.
However, if you've already got into the
unsavoury habit of designing to no
particular scale. I guarantee you'll regret it
later.

the default tight source. Renders quick and looks good, what more could souses* for?
Camera wor k
Aside from improving your modelling, another huge advantage of story.
boardi ng is the affect i t has upon the structure of your ani mati on.
Because you know the shots you want before you begin to animate, story.
boarding can often inject some much needed structure i nto your camera
movement.
One of the bi ggest complaints often levelled at 30 animation is the
often outl andi sh, and of t en compl etel y unnecessary camera wor k.
Al though most real-world cameramen/women woul d give their ri ght arm
for the variety and freedom that 30 can provide, simply ying the camera
wildly around the scene can often destroy the impact of the overall antes.
The real key to classic ani mati on often rests on the combi nati on of
effective camera work combined with appropriate lighting.
The story-board once agai n comes i nto its own. No l m maker ever
walks on to a set wi thout a script and story-board and if your 30 work is
to be as much aft as animation, classic cinematic must be embraced and
beginning
A oi r opto gur e a ga i ns t a Wa i n wh i t e wa l l . A dd a c oupl e o f l i ght s our c e s a nd a omdthi ng
to s hi ne thr ough a nd the i ma ge t a k e s on a muc h mot e i nte r e s ti ng l ook
On the face of it the simple answer is to
simply scale up or down as the need anses.
Unfortunately. although this may appear
easy in theory it can become something of a
nightmare in reality- For example. lets
assume you're modelling a coffee table
which is already at the appropriate scale.
Then you remember an ashtray from a
previous project that would be an ideal
accompaniment. Load it up, and guess
then expanded upon.
For example. imagine Hitchcock's classic shower scene II It were shot as a
single y-by camera sequence. Animation must be pl umed Oft. shot-by-shot
basis.
Remember. you're making movies not just animations. Why not steal some
classic l m-maki ng techni ques, combi ne these wi th tradi ti onal camera
angles and then add the power that only a 3D camera can provide.
Use cuts rather than constant tracki ng shots or super smooth camera
pans. Try not to track the camera to a particular object. There's nothi ng
more computeresque than the main actor in a scene being slap bang in the
middle of the frame.
Experiment wi th tracking to nul l objects, use l oom to add emphasis or
tension to a shot. I f your software supports ckpth of Held, motion blur and
other real-worM emulations, try to include them They all add to the realism
and intensity of the animation.
what... You're nice little ashtray is in fact
1.576 Km across. Now all you've got to
gure out is the reduction percentage
needed to get the monster down to 20cm.
Of course, you could spend the next
quarter of an hour scaling down
the mouse - all in ail not an id
situation.

Li ght i ng
Lighting is another area whi rr ,
s o f t e n overlooked in the race to complete a project.
In my opinion the art of lighting often makes
the difference between a 3D artist and a 3D
!enthusiast
It you t alk t o any self respecting
photographer about the importance of
lighting, you'll soon realise just how vital
close attention to lighting can be.
1T h e most common mistake made is to
over light the subject. the end result being a
at linage which lacks both detail and any
semblance of subtlety.
Its important that you have a rough
lighting setup from the offset. Obviously,
texturing objects is important if you're
attempting to inject a degree of realism
within a screen. As a result, there's no point
in designing texture arid procedural maps in
awhiter than white world if the end result is
meant to imitate a gloomy underworld
Secondly. try to minimise the amount of
ambient light. On most ray tracing and
modelling systems the default ambient light
setting is way too high.
A much better approach is to use a ll
light in the scene. This has t wo main
advaniBges. Firstly it's intensity and position
can be controlled, but perhaps most
important of all it will cast shadows and
soften the shadows of other lights in the
scene,
As you're probably well aware, adding
additional lights t o a scene will slow
rendenng. However, its often a sacrice well
worth making and f or those running
software which supports shadow mapping.
the only real overhead will be available RAM
as shadow-mapped lights add comparatively
little to rendering times
In addition to adding one or two extra
light sources. it's also worth remembering
that the lights themselves can be animated
and if applied with some thought this alone
ran transform a fairly bland study in a
moody masterpiece, with the shadows of
the actors playing just as trig a part in the
overall affect as the actors themselves.
Well. that's about it for the inaugural
ight of the latest addition to the Amiga
Guide. Next month I'll be looking at time
saving techniques, tricks of the trade. host.

his month well be looking at how to create a
whole game program with Easy AMOS It'll be a
simple shoot-enri-up with graphics and sound. and
joystick control too. It looks so much harder to code than it
is. but thars the beauty of Easy AMOS.
The principles we will learn here are manifold: How to
structure a game program without using PROCs. how to
read a joystick, how to use collision detection, how to
sequence the events in a game to make things ow in the
right order, and many other things.
To illustrate how a game program works in Easy AMOS,
I've put together this short example. Of course as a game it's
not much, but it does show you how a game program goes
together. and what sort of things you can put together with
minimal code
The graphics for the game are created by the game code,
soyou don't have to acid any drawn graphics of your own.
Of course you can do this later if you like as it's not essential
right now. Let's break (town the listing and see how it works:
a
tea R* siapte gale design R'
Reaq. 1c)19,4 Phil South osv
Rem
This REMstatement at the beginning Isn't actually actecton,
it merely serves to sit there in the listing to be read by coders.
It indicates the title of the program and who wrote it,
The rst thing we must do is create the game graphics by
drawing simple graphics on the screen and grabbing them
as bobs:
Cts 0
Ink 11 : Bar 5,0 To 35,10 : Circle 5,5,5 : Ink 5 : Paint
4,5 : Ink 0 : Circle 3$,5,5 : Paint 31,5 : Get lob 1,0,0 To
36,11
This draws a bar on the screen, then draws a circle at either
end of it, and lls the rst circle with a light colour and the
second with black This gives you some idea of which
direction your ship is pointing.
Cts 0
Ink 3 : Circle 5,5,2 : Paint 5,5 : i et Bob 2,0,0 To 11,01
This draws a simple ball, and grabs this as the missile
Cts 0
Ink 6 t Bar 1,1 To 11,11 : Ink 14 : Circle 6,6,6 : Circle
6,6,2 : Set Bob 3,0,0 To 13,13
Us 0 OEM'
These three lines draw the UFO bob, and then grabs that as
the alien snip for the attack wave. The nal CLS0 clears the
screen ready to play the game. Next we hide the pointer and
Came an
turn the text curSb( off:
and then we can dimension the array for the alien ships:
iso
There are going to be six aliens, so the array is six units
wide.
Now we can open the game screen. which will be
320)(256 and lb colours in low resolution:
ScreenGm 1,3211,256,32,Loares : Double Buffer
The DOUBLE BUFFERcommand smoothes animation by
using a virtual screen. The variable _POINTS needs to be
reset to zero before we can rack up a score:
_POIRTS.0
This is the end of the basic pre-game set-up.
The new game loop starts at the label _NEW, and this is
where that part of the program starts:
_REM:
_LIFE.3 : _BaORIES.6 : .SittP1.2511 : _MFT.100 : _BAB-
DEEM : _B1.IBIBY.40 _RI5SILEFiei.0 :
_BADOWL46.0
CursOfq : Cts
We initialise all the variables for lives, alien ships. the
starting co-ordinates for the aliens and our Own ship, and
then some ags. Flags are set to enable you to detect and
hold a feature, like the pressing of a button, so that the
event isn't detected over and over too quickly.
Next we display the score and level

Pen3 : Print 'lour Score: %JOINTS
locite 10,21 : _LESEL=_Lieliel : Print "Level";_LEVEi
Reqf 100 : Cis 0
4
The screen waits like that for 100 clicks and then clears,
We can then set up the background for the game, which
in this case is a random starlield of tiny circles one pixel in
diameter
The loop goes around SOtimes to make 50 stars, and each
is placed randomly around the screen.
Following this we set all the alien sprites to zero:

And then we nd ourselves at the main REPEAT/UNTIL loop.

screen

As a part of this loop we see that if the ship ag has been
set to I. and if the ship has been hit then the bob for the
ship is turned off.
If _SNIPFLAl.1 Then Bob Off 1 : _SNIPI.250 :
WattOIL
Next tne attack wave is drawn. This attack wave is a very
simple row of ships advancing towards the player from left
to right, and it's not very taxing, but more complicated
attack waves can be made.
You could, for exampie, write a rogram which stores
joystick movements as a table of gures, and then store

When the baddies get to the nght of the screen,
we turn them off and put them back to the left-
hand side to come on as the next wave. You only
get one crack at each wave as they go by, and if
you try to shoot any more than one on each
wave, they'll probably crash into you.
Here's where we check the position of the
aliens:

The missile burns out if it gets more than 190

out, the ag is set back to zero so another missile
can be red.
Next we check to see if there has been a
collision, either between the ship and one of the
aliens, or the missile and one of the aliens.

The thrng that makes Easy AMOS, indeed any avour &Amos, such a treat to we is that it allows you
to embed graphics and sounds into the programs using the memory banks.
The graphics and sounds are created separately and added to the program - so the code you see
here does not create the game graphics. These have to be drawn by you using a graphics program,
the built-in bob editor, and added to the program You do this by loading them into a program bank...
To make things easier I have created some simple bobs for you to add to Me game, and these can
be found on the cover disk, stored as an 'abk' le. To load this le simply go to direct mode and ty

You can use this program as a basis to create your
own games, as the processes used are pretty much
the same for any game program that uses a

ast month I promised to show you a
novel use of ARexx s compound
variables. and the starting point for
these discussions is the 'tat part of
the variable. i.e. the part which comes after the
rst period of the compound vanables name
The important point here is that ARexx tail name
specications can be formed using the contents
of other variables.
Though this may not sound particularly
signicant, it leads to these variables having
very interesting characteristics In fact, when
this technique is used with non-numenc tails it
becomes possible to build programs that appear
to use 'associative', or content addressable
memory access.
In other words, programs can store and
retrieve things based solely on the
characteristics of the objea being stored, rather
than having to know exactly where that data
has been placed.
Listing I shows an example script, admittedly
tongue-in<heek, where the program user
species a job descnpbon and the program tries
to say something about the jot) cr. question.

Although there are only a few job entries in
this example, notice that, because of the way
the stern has been initialised, the program does
at least always say something relatively sensible
- even jilt is that it doesn't know anything
about the Job you have specied.
In the rst example, hard coded tail values -
author, editor, accountant and so on - were
being used supposing, howeve , that we

eliminate these pre-mmalised tails and instead
let the program user build their own database
of job descriptions using an arrangement based
on this sort of pseudo-code:

What happens? Well, the program gets

enthusiastic and wants to learn about the jobs it
encounters as it goes along. In fact. If you run
the example shown in sting 2 you'll nd you
can teach the program simple things about
particular jobs, with a typical dialogue perhaps
going something like this:
program: Whet sort of job do you wish to
knowabout?
user: D o c t o r
proorso: 1 do not know anything about these I
program: came give mesome details about
the DOCTORjob
'
user: d o c t o r s help sich cm-

program: Thank you for that information

toSnow about?
user:
user: D o c t o r

program: I do not boo. anything about these
jobs
program: please give nt sot Watts ebout
the ARCHITECTjob etc., etc. . .
This sort of behaviour provides a good
illustration of how ARexx differs from what you
might call 'conventional' computer languages.
Of course, there is nothing to stop you using
these sort of arrangements in conjunction with
ARexx's conventional le handling facilities to
produce a database systemthat is effectively
based on content addressable memory.
The implications of that, which you will
doubtless appreciate if you experiment with the
examples, are needless to say, enCIFM0(151

The Tous Botiml t he blesopeu
111111101i,
uring my years of using Amigas in video
and multimedia applications, rye seen
how the standard of background images
for titling, 3D, special effects and presentations
have changed Many of these changes have come
about because of the latest AGA Amfgas which can
display so many more colours than their
predecessors, and because of the advent of
CD-ROMs
Of course the colour restrictions of the earlier
Arnigas can have a knock-on effect on the images
to be used as backgrounds, especially when titles
or animated graphics have to be Overlaid Onto
them
All too often, the only way to get a set of
reasonable-looking words or aremated images onto
a background is to restrict the background to just
eight colours, independent of those being used by
the foreground text or graphics, and to use the
remaining eight colours to generate the text or
graphics.
Asyou canimagine. eight coOurs isn't exactly
going to produce stunning results, so crude
graduated backgrounds_ grids and other geometric
designs were often the or o f the day on older
Arnigas, especially when Amiga videographers
weren't prepared - of (Writ UrtZieritandhow - to
put in the extra effort to spKe up their productions
by designing with palette and memory constraints
in mind.
Colour restrictions become Natal i ty Whorl*
when ColorFonts We the chosentont types. But
surety the Amiga's HAM mode couldsurmount
such problems? Well, yes and no. because
although HAM has a 4096 cobs palette it
available only in Lo-res, so waele ilowat has more
colours available there is an cheywheiming
tendency for graphics and leirt to tot raMer
chunky around the edges. as well as for digitised
images to exhibit a degree of smearness

design, anG I msure thoi the release of Scala helped
to inject new le into the Amiga as a DTV machine
because it practised what it preached - quality. As
Scala became more popular so its production values
rubbed off and henceforth. Amiga presentations
seemed to have more class.
When affordable - at least to professional users -
graphics cards began to appear smeary. HAM grabs
or colour-starved Fli-res images were on their way
out as the full panoply of lb million colour artwork
became available to the Amiga videograprier.
At last it was pOSSinte to torn Amiga images into
quality video images and backgrounds, even if they
remained mostly static. For those without 24-bit
access, programs such as An Department and
Deluxe Paint added improved dithering and palette-
locking routines to squeeze more image out of less
colours and, like many other dedicated Amiga users,

means more,

The biggest leap in image quality for Amiga users
happened when the Al200 and A4000 Arnigas
were released. With their huge colour palettes and
AM8 and 256 colour modes providing near 24-bit
quality output plus expanded chip RAMand faster
processors, Amigas suddenly had a new lease of life,
especially since the Al200's output could be
recorded direct to video.
To capitalise on this, various companies started
releasingmore collections of images for use as
backgrounds textures and so on, and particularly
for use anDIV work.
Which bnngs me to the reason I started this piece
in the rst place - the new NexusPto CD-ROM,
When VideoWorld contacted me to see if I'd be
interestedinreviewingit I had to turn them down
because I didn't have a CD-ROMdrivel
Now Ida - if only on loan - and after just a wee*
frn senously thinking about buying one of my own

not just for access to the background images on the

VideoWorid disc, but because they seemlike
seriously useful things arid I wonder why - apart
from having to fork out the cash- I've not got one
earlier.
With over 450 high-class background images, all
in GIF, 24-bit Jpeg and 256 COW' versions. plus
over 300 CG fonts and a bunch of sound les and
Pit) utilities all available direct from CD, it might be
some time before I ever have to make a background
again.
Evenbetter. the NexusProCD isjust one of an
increasingnumber of quaky graphics CD-ROMs
Mat are becomingavailable for the Amiga at value-
for-money prices.

ell those of you litio didn't make it to the
Commodore World of Amiga' show in
December will be pleased about one
thing. As far as the musical side of things went, you
didn't miss much! That's not to say there weren't
some great new products around because there
were - Almattiera's Photogerics package for
example
On the music scene though, the only new
product creating much sales interest was HiSofts
12-loit Aura sampler There were no new or even
updated. Amiga sequencer packages around and
not a running Amiga Midi sequencer package in
sight It must be said that at times, on the music
front at least things looked pretty sad
There were, however, plenty of music bargatris to
be had. For Instance, a stock el the Music-X version
I.1packages were being sold for ten pounds each.
soif you were in the market for a cheap mid
sequencer then that was ten quid well spent -
especially as you can upgrade from version I I to
the latest Music-X2/Not3tor-X version for a quite
reasonable upgrade fee Similarty. there were good
deals co 8-bit samplers, sarnple editors, tracker
programs and so on.
Being both a musician and a keen fan of the
Amiga, you can imagine that I left tre show feeling
a little less than elated. WekMI Odra realise.
however, was that the best pot ci tee day was yet
to come
passed this guy sitting just ci.eside the Wembley
conference centre playing his guitar aid was about
to throw him a few bob when I mixed he had a
World of Amiga bag with nth t turned out he was
just waiting for his girlfriend. so I rat my money
away and instead asked hen what he had thought
of the exhibition, and torn there we got talking
about Amigas and music_
Needless to say he had an Maga but Nippily
admittedto usingan ATMSTIcrat rassequmdng
work. During our conversabon he made tre pont

suppose. Is a fair enough comment.

could have done with something like the Steinberg
Pro 24 in the early days. This, you may remember,
was the defacto standard sequencer on the STfor a
number of years before its successor. Steinberg's
Cubase sequencer, came along.
The fact is, however, that the Amiga did get
Steinberg 's Pro 24 sequencer - about four or ve
years ago - but it surfaced and disappeared from the
glare of publicity soquickly that few people ever got
the chance to see it.
Many assumed at the time that like Passport
Design's Master Tracks Pro sequencer which was also
ported to the Amiga, the Pro 24 Amiga package had
been withdrawn.
Nevertheless, the mention of Steinberg Pro 24 got
me thrriung and when I got back home I telephoned
the 'powers that De' just to nd out whether they
realised that the Amiga was still in existence -
retrospect this might not have been ideal timing on
my part given Commodore's current problems.
You could have knocked me down with a pint of
Beamish, because apparently Pro 24 for the Amiga is
still alive arid kicking. Actually, the reply I got was:
*The Pro 24 Amiga package is still available - but to
be honest I'm afraid we don't sell that many.'
Now, I'm as good at missing things as the next
person but, credit where credit is clue, I am usually
on-the-ball as far as Amiga Midi sequencing is
concerned, Fri thought Pro 24 Amiga was as good
as dead, you can bet your life a lot of other people
do tool
Beingcurious I mentioned that I hadn't seen any
press releases or adds for Pro 24 Amiga for a long,
long time. "No, you wouldn't because we don't
really advertise it as such' came back the reply.
Mat'. I said, 'might just be why you don't sell
many' - I was now beginning to think that perhaps I
could have gone into advertising after all

AMIGA ADVERTISERS INDEX



rofessional desktop publishers have
difculty in taking the Amiga seriously.
Well, its not the computer so much as
the fact that there has never been any truly
professional quality desktop publishing software
for the Amiga.
Sure. with enough effort and the will to win,
professionals can use what Arriga software there
is to produce professional results, but it has always
been more difcult than it needs to be, and there
have always been high-end things that the
available software simply could not do.
Two recent software releases could change all
that, Neither is yet perfect - in fact both are a long
way from perfect - but the developers of both
programs are working hard to bring them up to
spec. Indeed, both companies have plans that, if
they are realized, could mean the Amiga has the
best desktop putlishing software on any platform.
If you've not already guessed. I'm talking about
Soft-Logiks PageStream3 and Almathera's
Photogenics. You will have read the poor reviews
of PageStream3 and you may already own it and
be tearing your hair out over the bugs and
missing or unnished features.
But lets assume that Soft-Logik does nish it,
xes all the bugs and makes it faster - they do
have a good track record on this score. In which
case. all that they claimed in the run-up to its
release - essentially that it will be better than
Quark Xpress and Pagemaker - will be pretty close
to the mark.
The funny thing is that 90 per cent of the high-
end features Soft-Logik is building into PageStream
3 are going to be used by perhaps only ve per
cent of its users Most PageStreamusers are not
professional desktop publishers
Quite a few might be semi-professional lishl,
but there are very few desktop publishing
businesses whose work revoNes around
t Page Stream. nor around any other Amiga desktop
publishing software come to that. Why do I rase
this point? Because professional features always
require greater resources. Huh? Resources? OK
memory and storage space to you and me. and
that means that even Amiga owners who consider
themselves to have pretty big systems may be
brought clown to earth with a bump.
PageSueam3 requires 3Mb of RAMand a hard
drive. Than what it says on the box. Peanuts, eh?
But to be able to use it to do anything other than
snipe leaets and few-page text-only documents
you'll need 8Mb, 10Mb, 1 6Mb.,.. or more.
Why? Because the kind of 256-colour or 24-bit
graphics you'll want to incorporate in your
documents all take up memory, and because
the big 1151i
So you see we can't have it both ways. We
cant have top quality DTP software that will
run on under-specied machines Soft-Logik
and Almathera are two companies who have
decided to riSk launching software that, to
use productively, requires more resources
than the average Arniga owner has.
They have gambled heavily. And the world
is watching to see whether you will go out
and buy more RAM and bigger hard drives
Just so you can get the best from these
programs. The future, as always, is in your
hands.

be t he best DTP software the world has
sitter seem never mind what has been writ t e n
by short-sighted re vie we rs
many of the terric new features in PageStream3
eat memory like crazy - not because they are
badly written, simply because the kinds of things it
is doing lequire memory Like rkwing several
different views of the same document open at the
same time a really useful feature for working on
things in high magnication while at the same
time retaining the overall view of a page
But it uses memory. Like having several different
documents open. like hotliniung between
PageStreamitself and the text and graphics
editors. Without enough memory, many of
PageStreamrs advanced features will ether not be
available to you or will result in the hated not
enough memory* message.
Its the same story with hard drive space.
PageSueam3 has eaten I 4Mb of my hard drtve,
and that's without installing any extra fonts, and
without taking storage space for graphics into
consideration. Photogenics, too, may require more
resources than you realise. It can only perform its
deeply wonderful tricks by invisibly storing picture
data in several buffers. The memory eaten by the
picture you are looking at on the screen is Just the
start of the story. And that data is all stored in 24--
bit colour delity.
A single screen sized picture, which is tiny in
desktop publishing terms, may need 4-6Mb of
memory and 1Mb or more disk space. Even the
rst release of Photogenics, aimed at the low-end
Al 200 user, requires just about every bit of
memory and storage space available to the
average upgraded user. Imagine what the
promised Professional version will require.
I'm not criticising these programs. No, no, no.
I'mattempting to illustrate why Amiga desktop
publishing software has always been behind the
pace. Produce software which requires more
memory and a bigger hard drive than the average
user owns, and you are producing software which
very few people will buy. Hello bankruptcy.

These are the blunt facts. Frankly. I am fed up with
reading articles in Amiga magazines complaining
that a program requires a lot of memory or a very
large hard disk. You read it and then you too walk
around moaning that such-and-such a program is
rubbish because it needs more memory than you
Can afford.
Then at the same time you land theyl moan that
there isnt the software for the Amiga to do what
you need to do. Tell you what everyone needs.
Everyone needs to get real. Look inside a
professional desktop publisher's workstation and
the chances are you'll nd 64Mb of memory.
Why? Because virtual memory is not the answer.
It's slow. It is always liable to crash the machine_ In
the long term it costs professional desktop
publishers more money than buying 64Mb of real
memory.
You cannot have the power without paying the
price, and the price is memory and storage space.
Storage space is getting cheaper - Gigabyte drives
for under E400. 270Mb SyQuest cartridges for
about E60. The odds are, the price of storage
space will continue to fall. But memory prices have
bottomed out As expensive as memory is right
now, it is unlikely to get cheaper - it will probably
get more expensive.
It doesn't matter whether you have an Amiga, a
Mac or a PC, without enough memory and hard
dig space you cannot be a professional desktop
publisher. And it has nothing to do with running
big programs. the memory and storage space is
required to store and work with the massive
amounts of data required in the professional world.
