If you wish for this mag to continue, and get bigger and better, then make sure you send in your comments and suggestions, because thats the only way we have of knowing there`s people who are interested. Anyway, next month, we hope to have 1 disk full of your pictures, and 2 disks full of your octamed tunes, and hopefully 10 pd software utilities and games for you, and also some top games reviewed.(maybe even a demo!) Also there will be tips and cheats for about 80 to 90 games by the way of "game tamer" and your contributions. Please note, that if you have bought this full magazine from a PD library, then we will not have recieved any money for this, and therefore will not be able to release another mag. Please only buy it from us direct and inform us if you have purchased it anywhere else. Note3 Next month cont..(click) Page8 Note1 We will hopefully review some mice and disk-drives for you as well as some more workbench tips. In the near future we would like to do a programming section for all you people stuck on Amos. We will also have a Dpaint section for aiding all you budding artists and animators. So, all you have to do is...... 1. SEND US YOUR PICTURES! 2. SEND US YOUR SONGS! 3. SEND US YOUR TIPS! 4. SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS ON WORKBENCH! 5. SEND US YOUR COMMENTS! 6. WATCH THE PD SECTIONS OF THE PAPER STYLE MAGAZINES FOR THE NEXT RELEASE OF HELP! 7. SEND US A NAME FOR YOUR MAG. Thats it really. See you next month. Neil & Dave. P.S We will also be making the pages more glamorous and colourfull. Note2 Main menu Page9 Note2 You could instead, send in a disk with your pictures or song or a pd product you did, and still recieve the mag for 3.50. For the amount of software you get this is a good price, and we hope to manitain this fantastic deal for a very long time. Note3 click Note3 IMPORTANT NOTICE ---------------- Unfortunately, due to us only having a workbench 2 machine, we dont know if there`s any bugs if you are using any other machine. We do know that the pieces of music on the full version will not work on the 1200, but if you disable the bits and bobs on startup, hopefully you shoudn`t have any problem. Let us know. On the complete issue you will recieve:- 3 disks packed with lots of stuff. And this only costs 3.50 if you send in this disk (or see below.). If you have a 1.3 and want the kick up disk just write it somewhere and we will send it with your first issue. Thanks. Page10 Note1 Good Points. Great graphics. Good sound. Very Addictive. Very well thought out. Bad Points. Inertia could have been a bit lighter. The fly level was a complete waste of time and it`s too hard and too small. Loading time is a bit long. Overall: This game will make an exellant addition to your collection. GET IT! Note2 Lemming 2 review Page11 Note1 LEMMINGS II Okee dokee, lets go with this one. Right, if you havent heard of the lemmings, then send us your adress and we will personally come round and laugh at you. These little critters have sparked off a bucket load of weird and wacky things in the computer industry. Ranging from lemming asteroids to operation lemmings to lemming olympics. Well now the original creators have come up with the latest in this era. Set sometime after we rescued them,(I didnt, I was crap at it) they settled down to a well earned rest and built themselves a city to live in. Now this city is under threat from some kind of meteor or something and we have been called to rescue them once more. Well to tell you the truth, this game is just the same as the rest of em but thats not to say that it no good, because it is. God knows what this game has over people but it has and I like it! This time though the screen moves up and down as well so the levels are big and better. One downer in my point is that after all these PD releases, and cartoons and lemmingoids stuff, The lemmings had this cartoony look to them (you have seen them in the mags) and unfortunately in the game the programmers made them too real, so they dont look like our lemmings at all. Note2 Click for lowdown Page12 Note1 Lemmings II Producer Psygnosis no. of disks 3 accept second drive? yes genre Puzzle price 25.99 Good Points great graphics (as usual) Exellent learning curve Quick loading Fantastic Practise mode Great fun to play Bad Points If you played the first 2 then this could be oh no even more lemmings (But thats not really a bad point) Page13 Note1 Yes we will be doing game reviews as well, BUT! not in the usual way. We tell you the plot. We tell you roughly how it plays. We tell you if it takes 2 drives. We tell you how long it takes to load. In other words, we give you the hard facts! Sorted. Note2 click here for the main menu. Page14 Note1 There are plenty of pictures in the full edition of Amiga Help, but not enough. We need even more than the thousands that we have already got. The aim of this magazine is to give you people a decent, no fuss, easy to use system disk magazine that will appeal to all people. If we have enough support then we might get up to 6 or 7 disks big, and this will only cost you 5 or 6 pounds. but at the moment the full issue is on 3 disks available to you for 3.50 if you send in this disk. ( Not bad for 2 megabytes of samples and 5 PD games or utilities that are actually useful and 7 pictures and 7 songs and lots of cheats and help) As you can see, Its very worth your while getting it. Note2 If you want to, you could send in your pictures or song and still get the full issue for only 3.50. That way issue 2 will be well under way . Note3 Click here for the main menu. Page15 Note1 Public Domain Eh? Where would we be without it? When you send off your disk, you wil get around 5 PD games or utilities and all with complete instructions on how to use them. If you bring this magazine up to a very high standard, which is only capable if you send in your songs an pictures, then we should have loads more of them and you will save even more money on them. Lets think about it. 5 pd utilities or games cost on avarage 1.50 per disk. Now the complete issue costs only 3.50 and you get a whole lot more besides. Well what are you waiting for, lets not let the amiga die! Note2 click here for the main menu Page16 Note1 Wouldnt it be nice if we could all understand workbench? Yes? Well nows your chance because we have created a workbench section done for the beginner and this is done by a beginner so if he does not understand it then he will persevere untill he does and give it to you in PLAIN ENGLISH. Not like the manuals in complete jargon. Everything from drawers to cli and shell are explained in easy language and if that doesnt help then issue 2 should have you lot answering questions for other readers, therefore making a very interactive column. Note2 click here for the main Page17 Note1 These songs were produced on an amiga 500+ with 2 megabytes of memory using Octamed pro Even you could write songs, so send in for your complete magazine and get loads of samples off the disk and listen to these other songs as well. If you think about it, 3.50 for 3 jam packed disks ( And I mean jam Packed, I had trouble squeezing issue 1 on them) is not bad so if you send us your songs instead, then it will be ok.
