- | AMIRAGE - To boldly go where no Amiga has gone
- before!!!

-
- Kryten (Ian Goffe) at the keys... _| I thought
- I had better begin writing this scroll text, as the
- official release date for ADM was 11th March, 1992, and today
- is Monday, 16th
- March 1992! Shall I just say that 11th March was the end-of-
- coding day! A momentous occasion, if there ever was one!
- What can I say about this utility? _
- Well, this is my
- first major attempt at coding on the Amiga, as just over a
- year ago, I was pottering around on the C64, but decided
- to leave the 6502 behind, & delve into
- 68000!
- Today, ADM was tested under Kickstart 2, as this is now to be the
- standard of the A500 Plus, it was wise to check the
- compatibility! - Thankfully, no problems occured, and the
- extra chip-memory was acknowledged, in order to handle much
- larger music modules, than my (current) configuration of 1 Meg
- shared chip/fast RAM could hope to handle - (Phew!).
-
- Ok, Amirage are a --> NEW GROUP <--, and as such we are
- looking for contacts, of the coding variety. Also we are in
- need of the services of a music-person. (If the original contents of this disk
- is left intact, then the music you are listening to is by WALKMAN, and
- is taken from the CRYPTOBURNERS MEGADEMO II!)
-
- So, if you wish to contact us for any reason, or send a sample (no
- pun intended) of your music, with a view to joining Amirage,
- then write to one of these addresses.

- Some of this information may be re-iterated in the Amirage
- Intro, as coded by Xylyon, but who cares????
-
- YO - Here comes the greetings list... _
- As we have no contacts to speak of as yet, I will send out
- some greets to those groups, whose work I have appreciated...
-
- AMIGA FREELANCERS, ANARCHY, BUDBRAIN, CRUSADERS, CRYPTOBURNERS, DARKSTAR,
- DEXION, DMOB, FAIRLIGHT, KAKTUS & MAHONEY, KEFRENS,
- PENDLE EUROPA, PHENOMENA, RED SECTOR INC., REBELS, SCOOPEX,
- SILENTS..... And all those I fail to remember!
-
- And not forgetting (non-coding types).... Belinda (get
- 'em out for the lads - but I've got a few wrinkles) Carlisle, Phil Collins, Depeche
- Mode, Erasure (my fave!), Genesis, Petshop Boys.
-
- It's nearly time to hand over to Xylyon, who will more than likely come
- out with some jibberish involving Poison, Iron Maiden, and
- the Motley Crue - get the jist? Oh, and by the way, if
- Xylyons' scroll-texts have a slant towards the piss taking
- side, then don't feel too hurt, as he is of the breed
- "Man united-supporterous", so it's not too difficult to give the
- 'Piss' back,
- is it? - Now half of Manchester isn't going to like ME! -
- I'll stay neutral - honest!!! I personally only issue
- some crap out to groupies such as ATARI (S)hi(T) owners, who
- will one day believe what their conscience is telling them, ie. their
- machine is bollocks, and the Amiga rules... It's an attitude
- problem, they just don't like to admit that they are wrong!!
- Oh yes, XYLYON'S part of this scroll text was given to me
- all in CAPITALS - I had to re-edit it all, aren't I so kind...?
- Time to fly....KRYTEN

-
- |Yes! Believe it or not, It's the amazing, the one and
- only
- (Thank God) XYLYON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I hate
- exclaimation marks, don't you?!!!!! YUECK! AMIRAGE
- Truly one of today's modern wonders. Created by
- GODS own hand.
- We're here, with our first ever
- release and
- already we are setting a blistering pace!
- HOORAY I am going to watch a BLAKE 7 Video
- tonight.
- This one is VID #5 from the BBC.
- It's most excellent title is \ PROJECT AVALON
- Here is the complete description EPISODE ONE
- PROJECT AVALON. TRAVIS ENGINEERS ANOTHER DEADLY PLAN TO
- DESTROY BLAKE AND CAPTURE THE LIBERATOR. EVEN SERVALAN BELIEVES IT CANNOT FAIL
- AND WHEN BLAKE CARRIES OUT A RESCUE HE WONDERS WHY ITS BEEN ALLOWED TO
- SUCCEED.
- EPISODE 2 BREAKDOWN. THE IMPLANT
- IN GANS BRAIN WAS DESIGNED TO LIMIT AGGRESSIVE IMPULSES, BUT WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS
- HE IS IN URGENT NEED OF NEURO SURGERY. BUT WILL THE DOCTORS AT SPACE RESEARCH STATION
- XK72 AID A WANTED CRIMINAL?
- |That's orgasmic what!
- It is my favourite
- programme of all time
- Even beating the amazing RED DRAWF.
- RED DRAWF is good, but they could have made
- the series longer.
- At the moment, it is RED DRAWF V
- but there are only 6 this series, so it will soon end.
- Another good programme at the
- moment is
- QUANTUM LEAP (Yes a fave of mine too - KRYTEN - sorry, back to XYLYON),
- which has been going for a long time, and I have seen 'em all!
-
- Has anyone seen the recemt
- issues of CRASH? It used to be the
- premiere mag for
- SPECTRUM owners, and was chock full of good stuff.
- The latest issues are not really magazines! They are tapes
- with a free comic!
- Why do suits think that
- the PC is God's gift to the computing world?
- The design is prehistoric, it precedes the Spectrum!
- Every so often, someone dreams up a new
- graphics card,
- INTEL come up with the latest 80X86. to improve things a
- little.
- While PC owners pay extra for a SVGA to
- bring the graphics
- a little better than the Amigas, we will buy something like a
- HAM E for
- 24 bit graphics. We're always one step ahead.
- PC sound is a joke _ BEEP
- BEEP BEEP CRAPPY BEEP BEEP.
- Again add on cards improve this.
- To get a PC to the same power
- as an Amiga will increase the price of an already overpriced
- machine.
- I do not like
- the Amigas image in this country, it is seen primarily as a
- games machine, as opposed to the U.S. where it is a Video-
- tool
- Unfortunately at
- Polytechnic (Should be a University Soon - KRYTEN - got to put
- us in a good light!) - we have to use these PC's (Programmable
- Calculators!) for our courses. The ST is
- dying, so there is no need bashing it anymore, we have to
- start the nastiness towards those PC owners.
