- Howdy, graphics fans. Are you having trouble deciding which of the
- many 24-bit boards to purchase? Well, BLAZEMONGER INCORPORATED would like
- to make a brief, honest, and polite comment on the recent debates in
- c.s.a.graphics.
-
- **** GET REAL, YOU LOSERS!!!! ****
- **** THERE'S A NEW BOARD IN TOWN!! ****
-
- Yes, it's time to wave "goodbye" to OPIUM-VISION, PICASS-HOLE,
- CRETIN-A, PICKLE-O, HURLIN', and EGGHEAD-28! Get lost, VIDEO TOAST-BURNER!
- It's time to move over to the NEWEST and MOST EXCITING board around!! It's
- got the FEATURES! It's got the SPEED!! It's got FOUR THOUSAND BLITTERS!!!
- And it's got one HELL of an ATTITUDE!!!!!!! Please welcome the latest
- addition to our ViolentWare series:
-
- ** BLAZE-24 **
-
- the LIGHTNING-FASTEST, HIGHEST RESOLUTION, MOST COLOR-RIDDEN graphics
- enhancer available for ANY COMPUTER PLATFORM or plumbing fixture.
-
- Are you fed up with RIDICULOUS RESOLUTION RESTRICTIONS like 800x600
- or 2048x1600? Then let BLAZE-24 satisfy your INNERMOST FANTASIES with its
- UNLIMITED, TOTALLY PROGRAMMABLE resolutions and depths! Don't be FOOLED by
- the name: BLAZE-24 is NOT limited to 24 bits. (The "24" refers to the
- number of CENTURIES it would take for any other WIMPY company to come out
- with a board this GREAT.) Would you like a few billion bitplanes? How
- about a 1048576 x 3 screen for rendering poisonous snakes or FRACTAL GARDEN
- HOSES?? NO PROBLEM! BLAZE-24 DOES IT ALL!!!
-
- So, is BLAZE-24 flicker-free? YOU BET! Not only does it completely
- eliminate flicker in all graphics modes on ANY display device, but its
- POWERFUL ANTI-FLICKER RAYS radiate outward in ALL DIRECTIONS and DESTROY
- FLICKER on ALL Amigas in a 100-kilometer radius!!! Watch in amazement as
- your LOVING NEIGHBORS show up at your home with LOVING CROWBARS because you
- have unwittingly deinterlaced their television during the last ten seconds
- of the Super Bowl!! WHAT FUN!!!
-
- Those other USELESS boards may have you wondering: "Zorro II or
- Zorro III?" Well, WONDER NO MORE. BLAZE-24 bypasses the whole issue by
- installing DIRECTLY INSIDE YOUR MONITOR for the ultimate in SPEED! Never
- more must you wait for slowpoke signals to LIMP and STAGGER from the Amiga
- bus all the way up to the screen... BLAZE-24 IS RIGHT THERE WHERE IT COUNTS!!
-
- "But does it have a monitor pass-thru switch for compatibility?" you
- snivel. GET A LIFE!!! REAL graphics boards don't NEED such WIMP-OUT
- COMPROMISES. That's why BLAZE-24 comes complete with a pass-thru for the
- ENTIRE AMIGA MOTHERBOARD!! Using our patented SNAGMONGER (TM) cabling
- system, BLAZE-24 becomes such an "integrated" part of your computer that
- you'll NEVER remove it, even if you WANTED TO!!
-
- So much for hardware... what about software?? Our Workbench
- emulator, WEIRDBENCH, is 100% compatible with all software under all
- versions of AmigaDOS. Even copy-protected, hardware-banging games will run
- on the board with NO PROBLEMS. And trust me, you have NEVER experienced
- ANYTHING IN LIFE that compares to seeing "BLAZEMONGER" itself running on the
- BLAZE-24. If you thought it was fast BEFORE, you are in for a BIIIIIIG
- surprise. BLAZEMONGER and BLAZE-24 are such a perfect combination that
- you'd be an IDIOT not to buy BOTH! In fact, even if you DO buy them, you're
- probably STILL an idiot. Hey, it's not OUR problem.
-
- BLAZE-24 has been EXTENSIVELY tested and shown to work on:
-
- o All Amiga models
- o Pocket calculators
- o Etch-A-Sketch (TM)
- o Most brands of contact lenses
- o The Sun
-
- By now, you should be COMPLETELY CONVINCED that BLAZE-24 is the
- ULTIMATE graphics board on the market today, far beyond those other HARDWARE
- JOKES being discussed in this newsgroup. If you don't believe me, try
- BLAZEMONGER INCORPORATED's new "try before you buy" plan. Put a BLAZE-24
- and any of our competitors' boards into your machine simultaneously and run
- a few programs. If the other graphics board isn't reduced to a PILE of
- ASHES within MINUTES, then return your BLAZE-24 (assuming you can uninstall
- it :-)) to our "Customer Service" department for a full refund. And for
- your benefit, be sure to include a detailed note explaining why "Customer
- Service" should not try to "convince" you to reconsider your decision.
-
- So try BLAZE-24 today! It costs only $24.95 for the board, plus a
- mere $89,999.99 for cabling. We GUARANTEE that you will enjoy your new
- BLAZE-24... or else!!
