(Or,  if  we  leave the building quietly,  perhaps they won't suss 
it's us that did this!?) 

Another  issue  collapses  towards some  sort  of  conclusion,  as 
several  new stories have broken,  or are on the point of breaking 
very  soon,  here are just some tales of a naked sunset,  or other 
such gunk..

Repeated mispellings of the word 'teh'..

Sadly,  this  has  not  got better with time,  and may  indeed  be 
showing signs of deteriorating..  Approximately 10,944 occurrences 
of this lapse happened in this issue alone..

Commodore Buy Out final news..

It's all over, the successful bidder, Escom have now inherited the 
remains  of  Commodore  International..  Their final  bid  of  $10 
million  secured  the purchase,  it seems that the main rival  bid 
from  the  Commodore UK management buy out team  collapsed.  Escom 
will be producing new Amigas before too long..
 
New stuff, loads of new stuff..

On my hard drive this week, a stunning  preview of a  Falcon  only 
Joust-em-up  'Killing  Impact' with luscious  truecolour  graphics 
lots of French language,  and much more..  Also,  'Arena', another 
French  production this time,  a Mortal Kombat clone for the STE.. 
It  loses very little in translation,  a few colours,  but none of 
the large-sprite ass-kickingness of the original.. We have started 
to  see  the  first signs of the Fried Bits  demos,  with  several 
superb 96k intros, one of which runs and runs for all the world as 
if it is a full megademo!  Another thinks it is a 'Doom' clone set 
in a railway station..

You  will find on this disk,  the *FULL* version of Tautology  II, 
no,  not  just  a playable but limited demo,  but the full version 
with *FIVE* different tile sets..  That is two new ones since this 
game  was  first seen at the Fried Bits..  If you like it,  please 
register,  only  a  measly  three pounds sterling,  or  ten  blank 
disks..

Go on, you know you ought to!!

Lovely  demo  called 'Relics' as well,  a nice  new  multi-channel 
Falcon  tracker that actually plays Screamtracker  MODs  something 
like correctly?? Too good to be true!

C-Lab Budget machine..

Rumours  of  a budget Falcon are growing stronger,  the  favourite 
story  suggests  that a substantial price cut may be  achieved  by 
leaving the DSP chip off the main circuit board, although allowing 
provision  for  a DSP upgrade at a later stage..  Such  a  machine 
could be very cheap?? 

Belated greets..

Hi  there  Skynet,  thanks  for writing to me,  when is your  next 
diskmag coming out???

Thanks  to Ed Cleveland for writing to me and sending  the  little 
.ACCs, contact me again soon..

Tronic, where were those articles??

Belated goodbye..

Goodbye!!  We  have  to  go and copy this thing before it  is  too 
late..

 CIh.. A reasonable time for once, April 29th 1995..
