-
- In various and sundry articles, several gazillion people write:
- >[OS/2 is God, OS/2 bites, OS/2 is, OS/2 isn't, OS/2 late, etc...]
-
- First, I'd like to thank everyone folks for a beautifully reasoned,
- polite, and fact-filled foray into the world of OS/2. I know I certainly
- learned a lot. Like how to spell it.
-
- Anyway, I am writing with some GOOD NEWS!! Thanks to you, we folks
- at BLAZEMONGER INC. have decided to port BLAZEMONGER to the OS/2 platform!
- Yes! This should satisfy all you folks who were planning on upgrading your
- Amigas to run this fine operating system, but didn't want to lose your
- GOD-GIVEN RIGHT to BLAST SLIME-BREATHING ALIENS into TINY PIECES OF LUNCH
- MEAT!! And I don't blame you.
-
- But the good news doesn't stop there! Not only are we *porting*
- BLAZEMONGER... we are actually INTEGRATING BLAZEMONGER with OS/2, to form a
- NEW, more POWERFUL, and [yes!] more VIOLENT operating system!!!
- Introducing...
-
- B S / 2
-
- Yes, BLAZEMONGER SYSTEM/2 is the FASTEST OPERATING SYSTEM in the KNOWN
- UNIVERSE!! NOTHING will be able to compete with it!! UNIX, VMS, DOS, Mac
- OS, Emacs... *all* of these operating systems will SHRIVEL AND DIE in the
- wake of the MIGHTY BS/2. Get a load of these AWESOME features:
-
- o TRUE MULTITASKING! Hundreds or even THOUSANDS of processes
- all running simultaneously in a BATTLE TO THE DEATH!!
-
- o Over 500,000 LEVELS of FILESYSTEM for you to explore!!
-
- o Total MEMORY PROTECTION! Any program that attempts
- to fiddle with another program's memory is BLASTED
- INTO A MILLION PIECES!!
-
- o RESOURCE TRACKING! Thanks to an innovative AUTO-MAPPING
- facility, you will know EXACTLY where each resource is
- HIDING!!
-
- o An unbelievable, multi-dimensional GUI!! Windows with
- cracked glass, dripping blood, and UGLY HAGS peering out at
- you! A mouse pointer shaped like a LASER DEATH RAY!
- Magic SCROLL BARS covered with RUNES! And every file
- has TEN ICONS... but nine of them are DEADLY TRAPS!!
-
- o Background daemons that are *REALLY* DAEMONS!! When a file
- is sent to the printer, Yeenoghu Himself will hand you the
- hardcopy!
-
- o Multi-threaded processes, constructed from the very webs
- of GIANT BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS!!
-
-
- ** PLUS: a unique PROGRAMMER'S INTERFACE... with *TWO* fire buttons!!
-
-
- Yes, it's BS/2! Coming soon to finer retailers all over the
- MATERIAL PLANE! Hurry and get your copy before IT gets YOU!!

-
- ps: I probably should respond to a few questions about BLAZEMONGER that
- I have been receiving by e-mail. It would appear we have a few
- newcomers on the Net.
-
- (?) "What is BLAZEMONGER?"
-
- BLAZEMONGER is the FASTEST GAME EVER WRITTEN!! It was coded
- for MAXIMUM SPEED by DIRECTLY rearranging the magnetic
- particles on the disk -- no WIMPY programming languages for
- US!! The game WHIZZES past your scorched eyeballs even
- before you can TEAR OFF THE SHRINK-WRAP!!!
-
- (?) "Where can I get it?"
-
- REAL game-players KNOW where to get it.
-
- (?) "Gosh, the above sounds suspiciously like a commercial. I
- suppose you were involved in the creation and/or marketing
- of the thing? If so, then the message is inappropriate for
- Usenet, unless of course you'd like to pay us all for
- distributing it for you." [YES! This is an ACTUAL QUOTE!!]
-
- THANK YOU for your insightful remarks. We will try to
- work your suggestion into a future version of the game.
- [Snort!]
