- Official release date 18th January 1997.
-
- Blummin' heck, better keep this .readme down as I've just about
- run out of space on this issue, on the ST version, space is *very*
- tight indeed.. Still, a few things to say before I sign off for
- Maggie 22..
-
-
- A strange message from Leon to Arto..
-
- Leon (Mr Pink) in his .readme text which came with his documents,
- asked me to send exteneded to Arto for his hospitality on his
- recent visit to Paris.. I'm not sure what 'exteneded' is, but I
- assume that some sort of thanks are being transmitted to Arto, via
- this issue of Maggie, and something went horribly wrong between
- Leon's brain, and his keyboard.. I sympathise as it gets me all
- teh time.. Anyway, thanks Arto, from Leon, Tash and Tat..
-
-
- Unrealised and accidental tri-format compatibility..
-
- (A good one, this..)
-
- Yes, it is possible to get the ST Delta Force version of Maggie to
- run on something other than a bog standard TOS based ST(e).. In
- spite of our assumptions to the contrary, it seems that Maggie, or
- the old style ST based New Mode of Delta Force version at least,
- runs quite flawlessly under MagiC!!
-
- I've seen it for myself on a MagiC 5 powered Falcon, and have been
- told second hand that it works on MagiC Mac too.. A reappraisal of
- what it might do on the PC version of MagiC is in order, as we
- stupidly tried to run the single issue that we did with an intro
- in recent memory (issue 21) which killed everything in sight (see
- preview of MagiC PC in this issue for more details).. As MagiC PC
- uses 68000 emulation, Maggie running on the PC can't be ruled
- out!!
-
- In all cases, Maggie still benefits from running under ST Medium
- res (640 x 200, four colours) for you non-ST people out there..
- Don't try this one with the Falcon shell, as this has too much
- intimacy with the Falcon hardware to try to get it to cosy up to
- other platforms..
-
- Rich K. will let us know also how he gets on with running Maggie
- under 'GEMulator' on the PC, which has a serious 68k emulation
- component as well..
-
- So, Maggie for ST, Falcon, Macintosh, and possibly PC too!!
-
-
- Shows and stuff..
-
- The next lot of Atari Shows have been confirmed as the last
- weekend in April, at the same venues discussed in depth in our
- show reports.. Mike Goodman is in charge once more..
-
- Also, there will be a repeat of the popular and fun sounding
- Nordic Atari Shows, a summer event for the Scandinavian Atari
- scene..
-
- Siliconvention, see the invitation text for more details.. We
- might go, but not if Atari is poorly represented..
-
-
- Some very last minute credits..
-
- Thanks have to go to Shadows of Poland for supplying us with two
- interviews they were going to use in their own diskmag, but passed
- to us instead.. Keep up the good work on the demos!!
-
- Also to John Summerfield (and his wife) who got the rather
- spiffing Dave Encill interview..
-
- And finally, we haven't really stressed enough the lovely original
- cover picture, drawn by a 'back on the scene' Kev Dempsey (SH3),
- although I hamfistedly grab back a share of that credit for
- converting the Falcon based original to sixteen colours on the
- ST.. The lovely multichannel music on the Falcon version of the
- mag is all his too.. I couldn't convert that to the ST version, so
- those readers will have to make do with a nice if already well
- known Tao zik instead..
-
-
- I'm really out of room now, time to go!!
