EC threat to budget
software prices
BUDGET software may cost more rf a
European Commission move to slap a levy
of up to 30 per cent on imported disks goes
ahead.
The directive follows an appeal to the £C
by Diskmaj. a body representing European
disk manufacturers, who are concerned by
the number of Cheap far Eastern imports.
According to trade newspaper C7W, the
Commission has already reviewed the situa-
tion twice, but the directive's implementa-
tion requires the support of each member
country,
Some sections of the industry are now
campaigning to split the support, and
communication has begun with the UK r s representative, Sir Leon
Brittan. One industry figure told Amiga Computing that the question
of retail price rises depends entirely on how much is added to disk
costs,
if it was only a small increase most companies could probably
absorb it, A high levy would make if necessary to pass rises on to
the public, Meanwhile folio wing the report
in March's Amigo Computing which
revealed how buyers could save up to £500
on the price of an Amiga by buying abroad,
Commodore boss Kelly Sumner says there
are good business reasons for the massive
price differences between Amigas sold in
Britain and other parts of Europe.
Britons pay more, he said, because of
higher retailers' margins - understandable
bearing in mind that many have been hit
by high interest rates.
Other reasons include higher UK tax and
better support, with a year's on-site war-
ranty for faulty machines. Britain, how-
ever, now has one of the lowest interest rates in Europe, and
Germany's slightly lower tax makes a difference of about £10 on
the price of an A 1200.
And the fact remains that if you are looking for a new Amiga,
and are not too worried about the level of support you receive,
you'll save cash by nipping over the Channel.

Olympic visits,
Mike Dytole ; international marketing
director of Manchester 2000, stressed Lhe
importance of quality presentation to the
bid. "We belceve Manchester's arguments
for hosting the games are very, very
strong, So it's crucial Lo present them in
the slickest way," he said,
"The Amiga 4000 proved the perfect
choice, We can use it on the Barco sys-
tem in the presentation suite or ship it off

THE computer games industry has hit back against new national media claims about the £5j
effects some leisure software has on its players. A World in Action documentary - /i*^ 1
Welcome to the Danger Zone - claimed that video games could cause children to
develop anti-social or violent tendencies. S&rL*
The claims were picked up by several newspapers, and strengthened by criticism of
video games Irom teachers, unions and parent groups. But computer trade body
ELSPA took an exceptionally dim view erf an article published in The Daffy Star, react-
Ing with a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission,
Headlined breeding a nation of monsters 1 ', the story linked a violent society with the
popularity of video games and ran alongside a picture of a murdered toddler's grieving rela-
tives.
ELSPA described the report as "utterly unacceptable journalism*. They are now plan-
ning a campaign to help local education authorities and teachers understand the issue,

Looking for & way to get your favourite pictures into your
Amiga? Your bet for easy scanning is a 24-bit flatbed
scanner such as the Epson E580Q, hut that r s an expensive
solution.
If you J re looking for something more reasonably priced,
check out Migraph's new C5-6000 colour hand scanner.
This 1549 (£381) hardware and software combination
will scan up to 26 2,1 44 colours at up to 400 dpi.
It has a four-inch wide scanning window, so you'll need
to run it aver a standard-sized sheet twice to scan in the
entire page, Migraph sells a scanning tray which makes
lining up the two scans fairly simple.
The scanner, which attaches to the parallel port of any
Amiga, has five scan modes - super colour (262,144
Colours), colour (4,096 colours), greyscale, mono halftone,
and mono line-art. According to Mi graph, it r s the only
hand scanner for the Amiga that supports true greyscale
scanning. Six scanning resolutions, from 50 to 400dpi, are
supported.
The scanning software works with Workbench 1.3, 2
and 3.0, and lully supports the AG A chipset. It requires
1 Mb ot RAM, but 2 Mb are recommended,
If you're tired of re-typing text from paper into you
computer, the C5-6QQC 1 scanner can be used with
Migraph's OCR software to convert text in scanned graph-
ics to .Ascii data, which can then be cleaned up in your
favourite wordprocessor or DTP program.
For further information on M (graph and its products,
call (206) 838-4677 or fax (206) 838-4702,
Cache in your chips
Looking for a way to speed up that
sluggish old hard drive? Do you yell
fl tea-time! ri every time you try to
load a large program oFf your floppy
drive?
If you've got a little RAM to spare,
5ilicon Prarie Software has the
solution for you, HyperCache
Professional is a smart disk-cacheing
program, similar lo ASDG's old Face
II. Unlike that program, though,
HyperCache Professional supports
hard drives, CD-ROM drives, and just
about any other device you can
attach to your Amiga.
HyperCache speeds disk accesses
by storing recently read data in RAM.
When you've read information once,
it's stored in memory so it can be
retrieved from speedy RAM If your
Amiga looks for it again, rather than
a slower disk drive.
HyperCache uses an "N-way asso-
ciative lookahead cache systems In
plain English, this means that it not
only keeps recent information in
memory, but it also actually seeks
ahead on the disk, so that it can
actually read new information belore
you need il.
This mean that not only do opera’
tions like compilations and database
searches speed up considerably, but
so do first-time read procedures such
as opening Workbench window or
gelling directories of new disks. The
speedup is considerable. On my
Amiga 1200, rescanning a directory
that took seven seconds to scan the
first time takes less than one second
with HyperCache running. Speedup*
with disk-intensive operations such
as compiling a program in C are
even more dramatic.
If you use a disk drive with your
Amiga (and who doesn't?) you owe
it to yourself to get HyperCache
Professional It works on all Amigas
with Klckstart 1 .2 or greater. You can
even create a small cache on 512k
machines, but you need 1Mb or
more of 8AM to make the program
really useful.
HyperCache Professional retails for

MotorollirT
The veil has been lifted from Motorola''! next-genera
tlon chip, the 6B060. This powerhouse wilt be con-
structed from over two million transistors.
Unlike the 6K040, the 68060 will be manufactured
using CMOS processes and optimised for 3.3 volt
operation; this means it should avoid the heat prob-
lems associated with the 040, and will even be viable
for use In laptop computers,
Since the 060 is slated to around the beginning of
1994, ahout the same time the next-generation
CMOS Amiga graphics chips are to be unveiled,
Commodore will have all the parts necessary for a
killer Amiga laptop,
The chip has a super- sc alar architecture, and uses
a dual-pipelined Instruction scheme so that two
Instructions can execute simultaneously. If the pro-
gram also uses the floating-point unit (TPU) for
math 5 work, three instructions can be started in a
single processor cycle-
The initial 66MH* version should run at about 100
million instructions per second (MIPS); a 100MHz
version is expected later.
Progressive price
reductions
Jealous of the speed of the perky new AS20Os7 How
would you like to leave the rapid new machine in the
dust?
Progressive Peripherals are blowing out their 68040
accelerator beards for the A50Q, A1SGO/20OO, and A30G0
at incredibly low prices.
Some US mail-order dealers ate selling the boards (sans
RAM) for only S550 (£382). So H you're looking tor a bar-
gain method for speeding up your classic Amiga, check
with your local Progressive Peripherals purveyor.

THAT BIT BETTER THAN THE REST
Cover Disk A
A mong video digitisers, Rom bo's
Vidi-Amiga 12 currently stands
head and shoulders above com-
petitors ' products which cost twice or
even three times as much,
It's fast, smooth and produces out-
standing picture quality with ease. And
now it's become a whole lot more power-
ful because of this special edition of the
Vidi-Amiga 12 software brought to you
exclusively by Am/go Crwrrpuf/flg,
We asked Rombo to make a lew
changes on your be hail and they came up
trumps for us, improving an already excel-
lent product just for your benefit.
But if you don't already have a Vidi-
Amiga 12 them's no need to worry, as the
program on the CoverDisk is a special ver-
sion that lets you access all of Vidi-Amiga J s
powerful features except for the grabbing

demo.
New features
So what's new in v2? For a start there is
now support for almost every available
Amiga graphics format, from two-colour

mat to virtually any Other, including aii
AG A graphics modes.
Palette selection and error diffusion
have also been improved to once more
increase the quality of Vidi-Amiga 12's
grabbing and image conversions, More
functions and image processes have been
added to the Edit menu and sections of an
image can now be Cut and pasted,
Because of overwhelming user

added and the user interface and load

But a click on the Carousel button will
prove this to be wrong, as a new screen

the top left corner.

Then there is the considerably
improved Carousel. Both grabbed

and displayed (torn here - and the speed,
direction and extent of playback can be
easily determined.
Conversion from one format to another
is a brand new feature provided by the
Mix function and the software re now able

improved. Now you know what's new,
let's get going with the demo-.
If you are running from a floppy disk
just insert the CoverDisk into your drive

In a twinkle the program will be up and

If you have a hard drive you can rake

window should now become fully visible.
Click on the box labelled Grab and
nothing happens. That's because the grab
function is disabled. But no matter, there's
plenty mure to see.,..
However, before we can look any fur-
ther the first thing we must do is load an

this out,
Picture album
Although this doesn't look very impres-
sive the Carousel is actually a very useful
pan of the software, as we shall see later. It
is like a picture album, but showing only a
representation of each image which is cur-
rently loaded into memory.
Click on the image and the red border
will disappear. You have just deselected
the image. Click again and its red border
will reappear and the image is once more

Klondike
Pete Wiseman
People who love playing card games are going to love Klondike as it is an extremely
good version of patience, Klondike has been on the CoverOisk beFore but this new
version has been improved so much we had to put it on again.
Patience, for people who don't know, is a card game played by one player. The
object is to end up with four piles of cards at the top of the screen running from Ace
to King, in the same suit.
This version of Klondike allows you to create your own custom card laces and
backs, using any kind of paint package. To do Hi is, simply load one of the card backs
which are on this disk into say DPaint, where you can customise the card backs into
your own design.

Ameko
C A Revel I
Ameko is a sort of screen saver but with a
difference. When you call it up r a window
will open with a small cat in it and you
will be greeted with a meaow, If you then
move yoyr mouse around the box, the
cal will run after your mouse pointer.
When you move the mouse pointer
outside the window, the cal will scratch
at Ihe edges to try to get to your mouse
pointer. If you don't move the mouse
pointer for some time the cat will then
clean itself and go to sleep. To awaken it
simply move your mouse.
We have Included two versions an the
CowDisk, Ameko_Lo which is the Ickes
version and also Ameko which is the hi-
res version. It's best to try both to see
which looks the best on your particular
monitor.
You can alter certain parts by clicking
once on Ameko's icon and then selecting
information from your Workbench pull-
down menus. From hern you can alter
how large a window Ameko opens up
into and also how long it takes for the cat
to go Id sleep.

now seen how to load an image and Mix
it to a new format. But what about
animations?
Obviously, since sve can'L grab an ani-
mation sequence directly with this demo
vercJan r we'll have Lo supply our own for
now.
Load a Deluxe Paint animation ol your
choice. You should soon see a senes of
small images in the Carousel - one for
each of the animation frames.. Make sure
they are all outlined In red (ie selected)
and then press Play.
The animation will play back. You can
speed it up with the small vertical slider
and change its direction with
Forward/Reverse/Bounce. If there are
more frames than will fit on one page they
can be accessed by clicking on the red
and grey triangles located on either side
oi the viewing area.
Incidentally, if you'd grabbed a
sequence of images they would all appear
in the Carousel * fusL like this animation
does. Deselect a few frames of the anima-
tion and press Play again. You'll see that
playback is now jumpy because the dese-
lected frames are no longer shown..

Fun School's Wordsearch
Euro press Software
This is our third and final module from the Fun School range of educational soft
ware. Wordsearch Is nol only fun to play but is also educational.
To load It, double dick on I he Fun School icon. Once loaded the computer ran-
domly selects a group of words From a particular subject, ie months of the year,
The computer will then jumble up these words and display them in the box on
the right of the screen.
The Idea Is to get your child to try and find all of the words which are hidden
in the box, from the list on the left of the screen.
If your child thinks he or she has found a word listed art Ihe box, all ihey have
to do is click with the left mouse button on the first letter of the word, and drag
the line lo Ihe Iasi letter of the word they have found.
They then have lo select from the list on the left the word they think ihey
have found in the box.
If ihe child has chosen correctly, the word will be removed from the list. The
game ends when your child has found all of the words he or she will then be
asked if they want lo play again.
If Ir yes" Is selected Iberi the computer will ioad a new sel of words and restart
Ihe game.

Should have an image captured in your
Amiga, ready for use as you wish, vidi-
Amiga 12 doesn't limit you to jusl single
imaqei - you can also grab sequences.
To ensure that they are grabbed as
quickly as possible (to keep the motion as
fluid as possible) sequences are only
grabbed in mono, even if the source is
colour.
Even so, the images make a good basis
tor redrawing into your own, animations
[a process known as ftotoscoping}. If you
like to draw your original artwork on
paper you could also use Vidi'Amigal 2 as
a line tester, allowing you to get fast
feedback on whether the character
motion is the way you want it to bE.
And now that time-lapse grabbing has
been added it is possible to teil Vidfi-Amiga
\2 how tong to wait between grabs - any-
thing from a second to 30 minutes - so
you can make your own animations of
(lowers opening, snails racing and so oft,
frames, regardless Df their selection status.
I'll leave you to explore the few remaining
aspects of the Carousel yourself .
MLet's now examine the Mix functions
in a little more detail. Make sure you have
the original Stoat image loaded and select
Mix. Now try out a few combinations o!
buttons - hi-res, lo-res, HAM, 256-colour
- whatever you feel like,
If your Amiga can't display the results
you'll be informed about it. Note the
startling difference that using Error
Diffusion makes to the quality of a con-
verted image, especially when you are
reducing the number of colours it
contains.
Remember too that you'll be able to
keep converting to your heart's content, so
long as you don't Store the new image, as
the original is held in memory until it is
replaced by issuing the Store com i na nd.
OK, we all know by now that the Grab
function is disabled on this special version,
but aren't you just a tiny bit cunous about
what it does? Good! Til tell you then. This
is really the main reason for owning a
Vidi -Amiga 12, because when you con-
ned a video camera or deck to the Vidh
Amiga 12 hardware it's possible to create
great looking images yourseif.

With this program being so small, you can toad it every

If you hold down the right mouse button you will see a

[The Amiga Computing CoverDisk is
■tsigned to be as simple to use as
possible. Follow these instructions
land you'll be up and running in no
i readers may have difficulties
r*q our CaverDitk, so we have
- ud*rd this page to help you out.
‘ - ow we explain how to copy
■e* from one disk to another, how
in copy the entire CoverDisk and
I w to de archive programs, none
of the first things you must do
when get your CoverDisk is make a
backup copy, then put the original
CoverDisk away for safe keeping.
As a rule you should also do this
with the majority of your software
collection.
How to make a backup
To copy the entire CoverDisk, load up your Workbench
t •. either dick once on ihe CoverDisk icon and
- ■ Duplicate, or select Copy Irom the Workbench
men u or open CLI/Shell and type:
DCSKCDfT FRDF bfO: TO &FG ;
iVhen prompted, pot your CoverDisk (the source disk) in
c d be ready to replace it with your blank disk [the
■ align disk), Follow the Amiga's on-screen prompts
tfitrl ihe disk copy is completed. Now put the original
in a sate place and use your backup.
m
Copying individual files
* , night at some point want to copy a single program
from a CoverDisk to your compilation, Workbench disk or
I r*en your hard drive.
To do this you'll need the COPY ■command. As most
( : - f rOisk programs an? stashed away in their awn direc-
tor«, the quickest way to copy a program is to copy the
I e directory at once. Use the command:
COPT {di re story} TO {ntudisD ILL
ere \ directory} is the foil pathname of the directory
* u wish to copy r and (newdisk} ls the name of the disk
and directory into which it will be copied,
for example, if you wanted to copy a utility called
FRED from CoverDisk 27 f s Utilities drawer to a directory
j ed FRED on your Workbench disk, you'd type:
’ ECU EtDISlZ? i U T ILITI E Ki FIE D Tfl HDHKBEHiHl .3/IHtD ML
So if you have copied a program from the CoverDisk
to your Work disk or hard dnve make sure you also copy
any other fries the program requires, re fonts, libraries,
device drivers and Commands.
De-archiving
Occasionally we have so many programs to fit onto the
CoverDisk that we have lu archive them. Archiving is
where we take the entire contents of a disk and com-
press them into one life which is much smaller, giving
us space to fit mare programs onto the disk.
Dearchiving programs which are on the CoverDisk
is a very simple task, if a program has been archived
then you will need a blank disk to dearchrve it onto.
Say we have archived a program called FRED. You
simply double t ick on FRED'S icon, and will be asked if
you have a blank disk ready to dearchive to, Type
or “n" accordingly.
Your computer will then copy the archived file Into
its memory and ask you to insert your blank disk. It will
proceed to format the disk, and will then de-crunch
the archived file onto your blank disk.
Once this has been done you can simply reboot
your machine with the disk which contains the
dearchived program on tt and then use the program as
instructed in the CoverDisk pages.
Note that if you have a Workbench 2 or upward
machine you must boot with the CoverDisk write-
enabled to perform the dearchiving process.
L
Alternatively, you can click once on the FRED directory
i n and drag it across to the new disk's window. This
has the advantage of creating a new directory for you
and copying the icon as well.
Once you have moved a particular program to where
u require it you could experience some problems run-
ng the program. This is sometimes caused by the pro-
gram not being able to find files which it needs to run.
A good example is the text files on the CoverDisk,
These have been crunched using Po we if acker, so when
:i u try to copy them to another disk and then try to read
them you can't unless you have also copied the
P werpacker library Into your UBS drawer.
Workbench 3
If you have a Workbench 3 machine., don't
worry - most if not all of Ihe programs on the
CoverDisk will work on your machines.
If the program is specifically designed to
work with Workbench 3 then you may have to
copy the program to- your hard drive or
Workbench disk using the process described
earlier on this page.

I t fs one of those ironies of life that, after years of
printing articles on Che possible social effects of
games software, the computer press should see the
embryonic spark of mainstream interest in the subject turn
into a bush fire of hypocritical hysteria and tabloid
hyperbole.
Though offset by some well balanced television cover-
age, the main impact of press interest has come through
the tabloids, an impact which has seen distortion of the
truth and the instant creation of myth and superstition.
So fast has the video game's image been transformed
from one of a harmless form of entertainment an to one of
a social plague that parents and Lhose who make their liv-
ing from the industry have been left con teed and
bewildered.
Now, with the danger of every sort of regulation from
certification to censorship looming on the horizon, there
has never been a better time to examine the issues
involved and attempt to discern whatever grains of truth
there may be in the mountain of media mendacity.
Time-consuming
Computer games have been a growing part of our
leisure culture for almost 15 years and, from the appear-
ance of the first Space Invaders machines in high street
arcades to the blest Amiga or Sega chart topper, they
have gradually become one of the most popular and time-
consuming childrens 1 hobbies of all. Children,, however,
aren't the only section of society to have embraced com-
puter game technology.
Since the advancement, of graphics, sound, and afford-
able processing power made semi-realistic simulations
possible, organisations across the globe have used com-
puters to train everyone from bus drivers to airline pilots
using what are really just highly developed versions of the
flight sims and other games we find on our home micros.
"Games" of this kind, though hardly comparable lo
those which are presently causing concern, save millions
As tabloid hysteria
threatens to turn the video
games industry into a
parental bogeyman,
Stevie Kennedy goes
behind the hype in search
of the truth about our
childrens' fastest growing
pastime
of pounds in training costs every year.
In many other ways, we have become a computer and
games-oriented society. School children learn otherwise
boring subjects using a growing array of computer pro-
grams and associated tods, town planning students play
games oF Sim City, and even the police now benefit from
CD-ROM: technology to train officers in not and crowd
control procedures.
In addition, role-playing and games outside the com-
puter sphere have for long been a valuable tool in am s
such as psychoanalysis and personnel training, areas in
which no-one would suggest that games were necessarily
a bad thing.
Remember the scare in the early 80s over paper and
pencil RPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons?
Scaremongers then were ready to print articles which vir-
tually labelled D & D players as Devil worshippers, and
portrayed the RPG craze as a sinister underworld of fan-
What the law says
Though many would have us believe that computer
games are entirely outside the law, they are in fact
governed by several Acts ot Parliament, most notable
among which are the Video Recordings Act, the
Telecommunications Act (both 1984) and the
Obscene Publications Act of 1986,
Between them, these statutes cover just about every
aspect of the leisure software field, including games,
PD and shareware, and bulletin boards.
However, this does not mean that loopholes don't
exist. Under the terms of the Video Recordings Act, all
video games are exempt from classification (the sys-
tem of tagging them as PG, 15, 18 and so on) unless
they contain acts of gross sex or violence such as the
mutilation of humans or animats, rapt, and other
offensive material found in the sort of video nasties the
Act was introduced to legislate against,.
This content is way beyond that of any legitimate
commercial computer game ever released, and so classi-
fication has never occurred except in circumstances
where the publishers voluntarily waived their exemption
as a marketing ploy.
Games released a few years ago based on Jack the
Ripper and other gory characters are to this day the only
18 certificate computer titles in Britain.
A worrying point to note concerning these games,
however, is that though given 18 certificates at the time
they would look positively Lame compared to some of
today's chart toppers. Does this mean we might soon see
a rash of adult-only computer games? 1 asked fames

work for idle hands. A certain amount of antagonism
toward video garner has therefore always existed.
Over the past five years, this situation has changed
somewhat due to the phenomenal sales of computers
such as the Amiga, and latterly the runaway success of
Sc-qa and Nintendo n captivating younger games players.
Computers ark! computer games have become a con-
sumer commodity rarher than a minority technically-ori-
ented hobby, and <is such haye seen their way into
millions more homes to the extent that the latest census
showed that a hom* without a computer of some soft was
the exception rather than the rule.
For many beleaguered parents, the presence of a
device which would keep little Johnny happily blasting

his own bedroom rather than getting up to God knows

what down the focal arcade or shopping precinct was a
blessing rather lhan a curse, but it now appears that the
sheer success of the console games boom is likely to see
the industry hoisted by its own petard.
Increasingly, sophisticated and successful hard selling
advertisements coupled with the growing popularity of
the games have dragged Sonic and company into the
limelight where all the snipers can readily draw a bead,
Media interest started last year with the first national
press coverage of the dangers of pornographic software,
an issue which you might remember covered by Am/go
Computing a year earlier, and continued with the hype
over the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. What really
started the ball rolling, however, and gave us our first
taste of tabloid coverage, was the epilepsy scare.
Premature fink
Taking the singular tragedy of a young boy who had
di?ed as a result of having a fit while playing a console
game, and the understandable concern such an incident
provokes, Fleet Street decided that, despite the evidence,
computer games were killers.
It subsequently became clear that games cannot cause
epilepsy, though when played on TVs they can in rare cir-
cumstances bring on a fit in enisling epilepsy sufferers. This
effect, however, rs identical to that of glittering sunlight,
ordinary TV, disco lights, and quickly passing road mark-
ings, and is in no way exclusive to computers.
The quite unnecessary sense of danger which initial
reports must have caused parents to feel should have been
a warning to anyone who wished to draw a premature link
between video games and other social
but on February 16 this year a breath-
lessly tasteless and insensitive article by
The Sfor left open the blatant infer-
ence that games are "creating vio-
lent kids* and that there was a link
between violent games and child
rapists.
Interwoven between two short
reports on children who had com-
mitted sexual offences and over-
shadowed by photographs from
the story of murdered tootle tod-
dler famie Bulger, The Star's Michael
Hellicar covered a story first broken
toy a World In Action documentary the
previous evening.
This programme carried out a very lim-
ited pilot research of its own into the possi-
ble links between violent games and
aggression in children and concluded that there
was enough cause for concern to make further
research necessary.
Only 148 children were involved in the pilot tests and
the program's makers made no attempt to offer their Find-
ings as conclusive proof of anything, but this was enough
for The Star to make the link and to print the story along-
side two disturbing reports about juvenile sr-xuai offences
which had no connection to computers whatsoever,
The implication was obviously that video games were in
some way to blame, a suggestion which prompted the
European Leisure Software Publishers' Association (ELSPA)
/ It subsquently
became clear
that games cannot
cause epilepsy y
to register a complaint with the Press Complaints
Commission,
When consulted by Amiga Computing the psychologist
quoted by the article. Professor Cary Cooper, confirmed
that the test results - which seemed to show that a higher
proportion of the children who regularly played video
games were aggressive - were conclusive only of the need
for further research into an area which has so far remained
unexplored.
When asked about the possible interpretations, Dr
Cooper said: "This could just show that the kids who are
aggressive in the first place are more likely to pfay violent

Such ambiguity in combination with press inaccurac J
carries the danger that the industry will retreat into t*
faager, thus inviting the legislators to force a more flexi
response. I asked ELPSA's Roger Bennett what the gair-;
industry intended to do about the scare.
"We treat this matter very seriously and ate taking siea
towards voluntary selhregutation", he toPd me. These site
include the drafting of a code of practice for all EL 5 P
members (the organisation does not represent every ga
company) similar to that used by the Video Standar
Council, and the distribution to schools, retailers and El
press of a Video Games Users" Charter setting out sensit
steps to avoid eye damage, over-playing of games, and
on.
"We are totally
opposed to compul-
sory bans and cen-

dards of decency or

to be putting our house in order and the Home Office Lei I
me they would welcome our code of practice." said Roger,
Putting one's house in order, however, is an activity in
which some areas of the industry seem very reluctant to
indulge.
Despite the fact that press and police interest in porno-
graphic software either sold by PD libraries or distributed
on bulletin boards intensified throughout 1 992, the indus-
try failed to ad. until the first convictions were won by
Manchester's Obscene Publications Squad,
Since then, bulletin boards and PD libraries up and
down the country have become remarkably "clean'' 11 , and
the ready availability of everything From soft porn to be*-
tiainy and worse has become a thing of the past
Self regulation
The problem was, of course, restricted in the first place
to PD libraries and some bulletin hoards, but the hurried
burst of self regulation we've seen since last summer serves
to highlight how well a voluntary code would work if only
those who paid it lip service were endowed with a suffi-
ciently urgent sense of the danger of outside interference.
Interest on the part of the tabloids may, ironically, turn
out to be for the good if by putting the fear ol God (and
Parliament) into the games industry it forces the Focus
away from pure profit, long enough for concerted action to
take place.
A code of practice would be a first step, but the code
presently being formulated by ELS PA is based directly on
that used by the video industry, an industry more tightly
governed by laws and not cushioned by exemption from
classification
For the games companies to be able to show a clean
pair of hards to the legislators they must set out a code to
regulate the content of new games so that the Charter
ELSPA claims to be working on
the benefit of parent
can make solid
promises about
what little |ohnny
will be filling his
spare time with.
If the most
important peo-
ple in all this, the
parents who
spend their hard-
earned cash to
assuage the materialistic
little beasts who are today's
children, find their fears are not
calmed by industry action, they
may well turn to their MPs
instead.
Its image tarnished by scan-
dals, beset by those who think
new laws are the answer to every
problem, and sitting on whal is a
real problem despite the hype,
the video games industry must
show that it can take a positive,
collective, and responsible atti-
tude to its products, an attitude
which goes beyond the normal
profit motive.
After all, can soul searching
really be such a painful exercise if P
as most would claim, the industry
has nothing to fee! guilty about?
Possibly the greatest threat, in
terms of its ability to bring about
government action, comes From
the concern being demonstrated
by teachers. This group of professionals work closely with
children day after day and, subsequently, their views nor-
mally carry weight in Westminster.
More specifically, the 4 0,0-00 strong Professional
Association of Teachers^ which worked with Granada
Television in the making of the oiiginal World in Action
What the
politicians say
"Video games are already covered by
the law and we don't see the need at
this point for further legislation. We
are, however, willing to review the sit-
uation if necessary/

"We would be happy to see the for-
mation of a watchdog body and

information ate a good thing, but to attempt to "make
ents aware of the pot-entral danger" as PAT puts it P is to
forward a point of view rather than open up the debate.
However, as PAT's Deputy General Secretary Jackie Mil
told me: "As a professional body with a responsibility
children, we have a duly to act, even if there is a d i
that the press will sensationalise the issue "
When asked if she thought computer games were
only culprits., she said: "This is not the only cause for o
tern, There are many desensitising influences on child!
and a great deal of advertising pressure on them and tl
parent/.
So isn't there a danger that video games are being mi
into a fall guy by media coverage?
"How the media covers such an important an
shouldn't have a bearing on how we look at the probk
and I've been surprised when talking to teachers and
enls till over the country thaL no-one denies there ts
problem/
What, then, is PAT's solution to the problem?
"We see classification as the answer. You can't exj
people to be their own watchdogs. We will be pressing
action at the highest level in the Home Office, and nt
that we've decided to act we intend to carry on until
see a result."
Pornography
documentary, has nailed its colours to the mast and
demanded that a senes oF radical steps be taken.
Wonyingly for the software Industry, PAT has a reputa-
lion as a vociferous and effective lobbying organisation, so
would they be happy with ELSPA's proposed moves?
PAT'S original statement called For four initiatives,
demanding that the government tarry out research into
the effects of video games or children, set up an indepen-
dent body to monitor the content of the games, "curb and
monitor" advertising, and mount a publicity campaign to
warn parents of the dangers.
Now, some might think it strange that r although the
first demand accepts that a lack of research makes conclu-
sions difficult, the following Lhree call for strict and definite
action.
Surely the "curbing" or otherwise of advertising is
already a matter for the Advertising Standards Authority?
And isn't the BftFC in a position to monitor game content?
Publicity campaigns to supply the public with relevant
Since Amiga Campufmg last covered the subject
pornographic software, a combination of press interest ar
police action have served !o clean up what was threatens
to become a blot on the whole industry.
this time last year, hard core pornography was readi
available from a number of PD libraries, and disks con tar
ing the most explicit digitised snuff video animations ar
one in this office had ever seen were on sate to adults ai
children alike.
However, despite the vagueness of the obscenity la>
and the difficulty often encountered by the police ol cat
vincing a jury that material rs obscene, arrests were
stocks confiscated and convictions obtained.
The result is that a problem, the seriousness of whk
most industry Figures had failed to appreciate, was nip|
in the bud and Lite pom merchants either forced out of
computer business or underground.
If, using existing. Saws and a responsible response fi
the industry, such a positive result can be reached, there
no reason to believe LFial the same cannot be achieve
today.

O ver the last few years
Amigas have been used
increasingly in DTP work,

m for equipment to import pic-

©rtf. a couple- of years ago it was
- m possible to get hold of any

■ 3 black and white models right up
■ t ; son's colou r flatbed equipment.

Power Scan Colour
AlfaScan Plus
Caste in er r s ottering is capable of scanning at 400dpi and up lo 256 greyscales which
makes for much more detailed and clearer images. AlphaSca-n plugs into the parallel port
so it can be used on any Amiga, It also has a parallel pass-through enabling both scanner
and printer to be used at the same time B
Because older Amigas can only display 16 greyscales, the AlphaS can Plus uses dithering
to produce the effect of more colours on screen than there really are. However, an AC A
chipset machine will display the lull 256
greyscales with ease.
The excellent software allows afl
the usual editing features, and also allows
you to import and export different
graphic formats so that an image can be
scanned in and then exported to a PC or
Apple Mac.
One thing that really impressed
me was the accompanying Merged soft-
ware which facilitates scanning an A4 or
larger piece of paper in two sections and
then splicing them together, This is
exceedingly hard to do if you don't have
the proper software.
The greyscale images produced
are some of the best I have seen out of a
budget priced model. Coupled with good
software and a well built unit this has to
be one of the best quality greyscale pack-
ages around.
Alpha Scan prices start bom £99
This hand scanner can be used on all
machines in the Amiga range excepL l he
A6QG and the A12GG. 51 is capable of
2D0dpi resolution in 4,096 colours in 1 2-
bit colour. With it comes quite compre^
hensive software giving total control over
the manipulation of images.
When you remove the Power £ofour
scanner frgm the box the first thing you
notice is how well made it feels, an
impression backed up by the excellent
software and manual.
We reviewed the A500 model which
plugs into a small interface which goes
into the expansion port on the left side of
the computer, Different interfaces are
supplied by Power for the same price.
Scanning an image is quite easy
although it can be quite slow on the
A5G0, and the software keeps you
informed at all times as to what is hap-
penmg. The first operation is to set how
large a scan is required is by typing in
figures in millimetres.
The software then indicates
how much memory is required and
for unit plus scan and save software to £1 1 9.95 for the scanner and Touchup and Merge-
software - the package used lo produce the images illustrating this article.
Optical Character Recognition software available for this scanner can recognise text, si
a page of text can be converted to Ascii format and loaded into any wordprotessor.
1 his scanner performed well and produced some really good results, although the sol
ware tended to crash when we tried to touch up pictures scanned on a 1 Mb machine.
Scanners
gfi n available. The scan; size set l^l
an scan and away you go. A red
on the unit helps you keep going
aor^r- the image aL the correct speed, as
if you move too fast the light begins
to blink.
The scanning speed was not too criti-
cal, although this cannot be said about
the greyscale version, which calls lor
much slower operation, The image
scanned in,, you wait a couple of minutes
or so while the Amiga renders the image
into HAM and displays it on screen.
That done, you can make any changes
Lo the image you want. The software
allows you to scale, crop, flip and adjust
the palette of your image via easy-to-use
pull-down menus. This can call for latge
amounts of memory - we worked on an
A5QO Plus with 2Mb chip and 2Mb fast
RAM and still had some memory
problems.
£239 gets you probably the best bud-
get colour scanner currently available
with friendly software and a well buili
scanner unit.
/ To scan a full-colour A4
® image at 200 percent
zoom you would need well
over 500Mb of RAM!
Sharp's 200dpi 18-bit model differs
from most as it looks like a square bo*
with no buttons, rollers or anything
else apart from a cable leading from it.
in operation you place the picture
to be scanned do a flat surface and
position the fX over it, looking
through a glass panel to position it
correctly.
The scanner has to make three
passes over the picture to produce the
final colour picture, although you can
mate a greyscale preview - displayed
in the top left-hand comer of the
screen - in order to make any neces-
sary adjustments,
This is the only scanner apart from
the Epson GT to give such a preview
option, and it certainly comes in handy
as you can waste quite a lot of lime
scanning things in only to find out you
have missed out part of the image.
Images can be rendered in any reso-
lution required and the usual rotate, flip
and other features are available.
The ]X1 00 gives really good images,
far better than any hand scanner, but
there again is nearly twice the price. If
you want professional results the JXlOO
is certainly worth serious consideration.
One other extremely good point
about the JX10Q is the fact that there
are no external moving parts Nte rollers
or flaps, which means it is quite robust.
The machine and software cost £399
from Silica Systems.

Hints and tips
scan someone's face from a picture but
This flatbed scanner is capable of operat-
ing at an impressive 600dpi with foil 24-
bit colour capability (16.7 million colours).
It is operated much like a photocopier, as
you have to lift up the ffap on the top of
the machine to place your picture on the
scanner glass.
Owning a GTS 500 will prove expen .
sive. We are talking mega bucks here, and
not only because of the unit's price, for
you will also need a driver and Pots and
lots of memory for your Amiga.
We used the GT on an A400Q with a
total of 6Mb of RAM and still managed to
run out of memory just dealing with the
Epian'f t¥ A m±pan'ncy iianntr ftt at linn
F40 in the example picture. If you tried
scanning a fufl colour M image at 600dpi
with 2GQ per cent zoom you would need
well over 500Mb of RAM! The F4Q was
scanned at 320 dpi and still managed to
gobble up 7.5 Mb of memory.
OnJy two software packages are avail-
able. One is the Epson driver, a stand-
alone program. The other is a loader
specifically designed to be used from
within AO Pro 2 fr&m A5DC. This add^oo
aliows much better control. You can also
fake advantage of the many features
ADPro has to offer.
The cost of af! this truly professional
equipment, whh scanner,, software and
extra memory thrown in is well o^er the
£1,000 mark. The GT also has a big
brother, the GTS0OQ, which can scan at
up to SGOdpi.
The major advantage the Epson GT
range enjoys over all other scanners fs its
ability - through a hardware add-on - to
scan transparencies. To add this feature
wii'l set you back £565 on top of the cost
of the scanner which is £799,
Software to use the CT from ADPro
costs £1 1 0 f while the Epson software costs
£129. We used 1 the ADPro software for this
review and found it easy to use and giving
excellent results,
5o if you want the best, and have a
bank balance to match, contact HB
Marketing.
Whenever scanning pictures or text, try
to make sure that the paper you are
scanning from is as flat and crease-free
as possible, If the picture is on £ not flat
then when you try to scan the image
you will see small lines where the light
from the scanner is deflected incorrectly.
Also when using hand scanners try
not to let the scanner suddenly ferk, as
again you will see little lines appear run-
ning across your final image,
If you try scanning a small photo-
graphic picture the scanner can catch an
the edges of the picture so It's worth
using La pc to sti ck the picture Lo the sur*
face of you desk or table.
ff you want to scan say an A4 piece of
paper and your scanner is only half the
width of the paper, you can scan on?-
hail of the paper first and s^ve it then
scan the second half, but scan sILghtfy
over the haff you have already scanned
and then save the scan again. You can
then load the two images into an art
package like DPaint and splice both the
halves together again. If you want to
you don't have a lot of memory avail-
able then try to only scan the minimum
amount of the picture you require, as
this can save a considerable amount of
memory,
No matter what krnd of scanner you
use make sure the scanning head or
glass is always kept dean as even the
smallest speak of din can show up
when scanning at hrgh resolutions.
If you do have to dean the scanning
sudacc then use a soft cloth with no
■cleaning agents, as these can damage
your scanning head beyond repair quitf
easily,
AJways experiment with the software
you get with your scanner as making
small adjustments to settings can make
a big difference in the quality of your
final images,
ft's also a good idea to see if the soft-
ware included with the scanner can
save out in any other format other than
IFF, as then you can export files to other
machines.

The verdict
If I had to pick the scanner I was most
impressed wfth then it would obviously
be the Epson, but rot everybody can
flttofd that kind of money (me included).
The Power unit is probably the best
colour scanner for the home user to con-
sider as it's (airly cheap and gives good
results without too much effort.
in the greyscale department the
AlphaSean 256 gave good results and the
software was well laid out and easy to use .
The fX1(K> was also good if you want it
for semi serious use, but I consider it pos-
sibly a brt too highly priced for most
home users.

’ -ese tasks, all related to the updating of a

sound statement and a beep none can be
made just by using the command.

Similarly, updating the seconds variable
would just mean adding one to it like this.

How do we relate the number of elapsed
•seconds to the position of the second hand?
If time intervals equal to, or longer than,
one minute are going to he allowed then it
is necessary to remember that atter 60 sec-
onds have elapsed the position ot the sec-
ond hand will be the same as the starting
point (1 2 o'clock).
Sasic's Mod function can be used to get
the position of the second hand after any
number of seconds.

Subprograms
Hisoft Basic also provides a new style ol
subroutine, called a sub-program, that
allows parameters (arguments) to be
passed to a routine.
Hisoft Basic variable parameters are, by
default, passed by reference, but by plat-
ing Var in front of any variable name the
calling mechanism changes and the sub-
prog ram works with a true copy of the
parameter and the original variable cannot
be changed from within the sub-program.
Let's suppose our stopwatch program
will use a circular clockface whose centre is
the point (X. ORIGIN, Y_ORlGIN) and
This display hand task is a good candidate
for writing as a sub-program. In fact things
actually work out quite well because by
choosing a complement drawing mode we
can both draw and undraw the second

control passes- to the speeded routine al
the appropriate time (eg if an error is
detected or if the user selects a menu
item). Timer events use a slightly different
syntax in that the time between events can
be specified - see this month's code tor an
example.
When a variable name is used Bask calls
the X F th value in a list and so the

Variables within a sub-program may
be declared as being one of three
types:
SHARED - this allows a sub-program to
access a value from the main program
without having it passed as a parameter.
program calls.
LOCAL - local variables which are ini-
tialised to zero each time the sub-pro-
gFam is executed.
Sub-program variable parameters can,
and in most cases should, be passed by
value to protect the original variable
from being inadvertently altered.
This can be done using the VAL key- 1
word as illustrated In this month's
example program.

A s the title suggests, this pro-
gram h firmly aimed at the pro
user/ enthusiast who requires
broadcast-quality results and isn't put off
by the prospect of having to invest heavily
in the software and power hardware to
attain it.
As you've probably spotted from the
examples, Pixel Pro Isn't simply an extru-
sion tool, - although admittedly this Is a
large part of the package. In addition to
this particular function, format conversion
is where the program really starts to earn
its keep.
Before the inevitable stroll: through the
software, a brief pause on the^rogran\'s
conversion options is a must. In totol ?he
package will handle 14 different ID model
formats.
The beauty of this multi -form at design
is that as well as loading, the package will
also save in any one of the 14 formats.
This means that a mountain of objects are
ready and waiting to be either down-
loaded or bought from the huge pool
already out there.,
Thanks to some smart programming
the software will auto-sense the format of
the file to be loaded - In this particular
article the majority of the models are for-
mer Sculpt creations mixed in with the
occasional example from Lightwave.
Original colours
Courtesy of the program's Config
options it's possible to retain not only the
structure of the original but also its colour
information - of course this has to be part
of the model structure rather than a brush
map.
A good example is the RoboCop II
model which clearly shows the original
colours defined within sculpt.
Although extremely smart when it
comes to loading models it must be said
that glitches can occur when saving out
into another formal. In this particular
example all the images used in the piece
have been re-rendered in imagine.
In the case of Imagine the success rate
for objects was around 65 to 70 per cent.
Although this doesn't sound too good it
must be Stressed that the program never
fails to convert the object.
However it does make mistakes which
results in holes where they shouldn't be
and more often solid areas where holes
are meant to occur...
As a result the job of conversion is often
Dimensional
doodles
3D or not 3D? That is the question.
Paul Austin takes a close look at the
Amiga's ultimate modelling utility,
Pixel 3D Professional
Turn sCitTpr CPHJflans in futJ flight within
only hglf-way done when the process is
complete as editing is necessary to clean
up the object in the ray tracer or modeller
of your choice.
However even with this additional edit-
ing, Pixel Pro is the only effective, if rather
hit-and-miss, method of converting
between formats.
In order to simplify the process of pro-
ducing models, several filtering options
allow you to reduce the number of poly-
gons and faces used to create the model.
This can occur prior to saving via the
polygon reduction option or alternatively
as the object is saved - thankfully this is
optional. Although polygon reduction has
its uses it also has its risks - usually in the
form of missing polygons on the saved
model which may need to be replaced.
OK 1 think that covens the loading, sav-
ing and conversion of models, now it's
time to look at the generation of originals
from bitmapped beginnings.
Importation can take several forms, the
most basic being a mono import which
loads any bitmap ignoring its colour infor-
mation. As a result Pixel Pro will simply
show the outline of the 2D graphic as if
treated as a simple black and white
image.
The next and most often used variant
is to import the bitmap complete with its
colour information. The only restriction
on importation is that they are neither 24-
bit or HAM images.
Once loaded in you can simply extrude
the object to a desired depth or specify
that the colours be extruded according to
their relative brightness. This relative
brightness option is worked out from the
brightest colour in the range. If for exam-
ple you specify a figure of 1 00 units, that
will become the measure of the brightest
colour which all the others are judge
against.
It however you require more accuracy
than a relative extrusion can provide the
package also offers the option to specify
each colour in the bitmap individually - a
rather painstaking process, hut if you
need real accuracy it's just about worth
the effort
The final choice is to use the grid fea-
ture which operates in a similar manner to
the colour option,, but rather than you
setting the scale the software does the job
for you by analysing the incoming image
as it is loaded and then automatically
extruding it for you.
This "sit back and let the software do
the work" approach can be taken to the
ultimate with the assistance of the pro-
gram's excellent config option which
allows you to specify all the techniques
you wish to apply to a bitmap prior to its
importation.
For example, the extrusion depth can
be set, the level of smoothing, the bevel
to be applied and whether or not the
object is to be spun in the process.
Specifying effects
Although it’s easy to apply all of the
above after the image is brought in, I
often found that specifying the effects in
the config prior to the great event often
produced better results than applying
exactly the same effects latter on.
Tor example if you try to smooth the
edges of a resident model after it has
been extruded the end result is invariably
disastrous. As a result, smoothing is
always best applied on the flat import
prior to any other effect being applied.
Although a methodical approach will
mean generally equal results, it's often all
too easy to get three nr four steps down
the line and then make the fatal mistake.
It's true that the package does olfer a
very effective undo, but nevertheless
errors can creep in and then lt J s back to
square one.
However, with the config approach
you can apply all your guesswork in one
go and see the results instantly. IF things
aren't perfect a slight tinker with the con-
fig presets and you can reload the hicmap
for another attempt.
In the above passage a few new ele-
ments have sneaked in to the equation,
such as bevel r smooth and spin. Take a

Into 4 imoafh ID model
Smoothing
Once a bitmap is loaded, the [aggies inherent are all to apparent, and as a result,,
smoothing is often essential. This is particularly the case with when using the program's
option to impart text direct from a ftandard Amiga font.
Even when you take the advice of the manual and import text at 1 00 points plus, the
liggies are often still too much to bear. As a consequence, smoothing is the only option
and if applied carefully, the improvement can be dramatic.
Like all the effect requesters, the smoothing option is fit to burst wrLh special user
definable options guaranteed to keep the average anorak happy for months while the
basic controls are often more than enough to get the fob done.
These consist of preset small, medium and! large degrees of effect which can be
adjusted for better accuracy by percentage and then applied to the object either as a
whole or alternatively to just to a selected pert of the object.
Extruding
Unlike smoothing, extrusion is pretty basic with just three simple options including
regular, colour and list. The first allows a default extrusion to a set depth for the entire
object while the second follows the relative deptFvto-coloui ratio mentioned earlier.
Finally comes the rather curiously titled List option which conceals another element
mentioned above, namely the option to set the extrusion depth for each colour individ-
ual ly,
look at the box out for a further explana-
tion of Pixel Pro's additional power
features.
As you may have spotted, the software
not only offers a perspective mode but
also full 2D viewing from either the front,
side or top of the object.
2D viewing
This option only really comes into its
own when point-editing imported
bitmaps prior to extrusion. A series of
options allow all the usual cutting, inser-
tion and movement ol points on a singu-
lar or group basis allowing even smoother
end results when finally extruded and like
all the program's environment controls
the mouse is all you'll need.
To help visualise the object, a whole
series of preview modes await including,
solid, shaded, wireframe and colour each
of which can be combined with one or
more of the others to provide the best
results.
The package also offers extensive
mouse or Icon-con trolled movement and
zoom in both 2D and 3D with various
icons allowing you to lock axes as
required.
Finally, a default button allows you to
define and save as many corifigi. rations as
you require ready to be imported for simi-
lar tasks in future, while the final icon sup-
plies basic on-line help when required.
After my first few adventures into the
package I was slowly becoming convinced
that it hated me and to be honest the
feeling was mutual, However like Imagine,
Pixel Pro suffers a classic case of crap man-
ual syndrome.
Behind the facade of badly explained
techno-jargon and a total omission of
tutorial lurks a package that gets better
and better the more you experiment,
If you're serious and don't mind taking
time to experiment. Pixel 3D Professional
is the only viable answer to several thorny
3D problems. If you're working commer-
A famous Ift ■tpBc fare from fioboOsp II
rourte if of fommt nomm/ani
dally with the Amiga it's the kind of pack-
age you shouldn't be without even
though it can be unbelievably slow, eats
RAM like mad and needs at least an 020
to operate effectively. ,,
In addition to the big three, X/V offsets allow you to extrude at a specified angle
while yet another option allows you to specify the colour for the front, back and sides
faces of the object when stretched into 3D.
Arid just like its predecessor, options await to apply the effect to the entire image or
simply a part.
Ot all Uie available effects, bevel has to be the most impressive, as it allows you to
soften the edge of an extruded object either by a specified degree or alternative by
using what the software calls a router bit to add a predefined curve to the front and/or
rear of the object.
Ihe aforementioned router bit, although sounding complex, is really just a basic
curve simulating a cross-section of the edge to be created. These routers can be gener-
ated and saved to disk as required.
If a router bit isn't required, a regular bevel can be employed to produce a softened
edge, Although much more basic it can nevertheless be very effective taking the form
of a straight chamfer of the reading and trailing edge of the object. As usual both router
and regular bev^s can be applied either to a part or the whole image.
Spin
Due to the rather self explanatory title I doubt this option needs much introduction but
although it sounds simple in fact Spin holds a few surprises by ottering the kind of
extrusion options only usuaFly available within packages which employ spline paths as a
modelling tool,
As you'd expect, the requester boasts variable degree settings,, offsets, destination
lengths and colour options in a similar vein to the extrusion requester, and yes you've
guessed it r the effect can be applied to just part or the whole.

Why then do you actively promote piracy
by allowing pirates (thieves) to advertise
for free irsyour magazine?
These adverts are blatant in stating
that they wish to swap ''cracked 1 ' soft-
ware. I wrote off to a couple of the peo-
ple who wanted contacts and on both
occasions l was asked to send my list of
latest "stuff" to them so that they could
see if there was anything I wanted off
them.
if t had supplied enough blank disks 1
couid have had hundred* of pounds
worth of software! What I want to know
is, are you going to stop these advertise-
ments or are you going to aJi&w these
thieves to pass on their stolen data?
A Concerned Amiga user
Out Omitted advertisements, to which you
refer, are netted every month and my ille-
gal advertisements are removed. We also
remove commercial gtfs posing os free
reader ads and any which might cause
offence. The problem is in deciding which
are illegal and which are genuine pleas for
dated as a reader ser wee from which we
make only enough money Jo cover our
casts, and fo withdraw [he service or
severely hamper it because of a few poten-
tially bad apples would be to allow pirates
to attack every reader who sends us an ad.
Having said this , your concerns are per-
fectly valid, and we will be happy to check
up on any dodgy entries you come across.
Remember that we have the names and
addresses of all who send aoWjtriemenfs
us f so if a reader is offered pirated software,
they should try fo get if in writing -perhaps
in the form o f a list - and we can then pass
this on to PAST for immediate prosecution.

Networking the Amigo is not as simple a
job os it would be if you were using,, s ay. □
PC or o Mac. There are few Amigo network-
ing systems around at the moment, but you
could try talking fo Graham Heggie at
Hydra Systems (0203 4?W J), suppliers of
the only UK Amiga networking system I
know of.
Word swap
I purchased my first Amiga a couple of
months ago for purely leisure use, Since
then I have become impressed with the
speed With which my AT 200 handles
I bought my AT 200 back in November and apart from the usual
teething troubles when some games software failed to work I
am very pleased with my machine. It is a definitely 3 step up
from my old A5Q0, which is becoming dated.
With the increasing popularity of the A600 and [tie growing
market for peripherals I thought it was a necessity to move onto
newer and better things. **
I could not have made a better move. All my important busi-
ness packages such as Wordworth, DPaint IV, and Amos still
wort, and they work much better.
By this I mean I don't spend my time waiting for programs to
take ages on basic functions and I can continue to wardprocess
without being interrupted. My art work is faster and I can't wait
to get my hands on the new DPaint IV ACA.
In a recent letters page you said you wanted to see some
support for an additional pass-through slot on the A67Q for fur-
ther expansion. I would fike to give my support for such a slot.
A Ceiman PCMCIA card expansion is already available for the
PC machines, but it does have a huge price tag, I already have a
2 Mb ftAM card in my PCMCIA slot
and if I plug in a CO-ROM drive I
wiil most probably lose the use of the 2Mb. Please Commodore,
will you bring out an A67Q with a PCMCIA pass-through slot?
Chris Handley, Truro
Vdur inter must surely represent the tip of the icebefg os for os
PCMCIA womtes ga Haw many A60O and A 1 200 users out there
are warned about the possibility that their ftAM expansion! will be
redundant when other Commodore devices ore released?
Such doubts con only damage sole s of PCMCIA cards os users
hold off from investing £100 or more in a star which might become
redundant or which might be incapable af accessing more than one
cord or device. Commodore have lolled so fat to make much of
PCMCIA other lhan hot air, so let's hope they can improve some-
what an their track record.
At the moment they're not say mg much about the A670, never
mind releasing tech specs, jo we ll just have to wait and see - os

graphics compared to the computers I
use at work (PCs by any chance? - Ed)
and I would like to use my Amiga for seri-
ous uses.
In particular I would like to work on
scientific documents at home that I have
been writing using Word 5 on Apple
Macs.
Could you please tell me if there is a
document processor for the Amiga which
tan import such documents or, failing
that, if there is a Mac emulator Salable.
If compatible document formats do
not exist across different formats, I think
it would be a good idea since it would
make life a lot easier and remove the
need for having various computers each
with expensive monitors and hard drives.
R j Levett, Cambridge
The inlernational document format you
refer to exists to a certain extent in the
shape of Ascii text To gel this son of text
out of Word 5, just iije Save As and choose
the Text Only format.
Ascit is fine for unformatted documents
but as jf doesn't carry ony format informa-
ban regarding bold text , underline, and jo
on, It j's less than ideal If you wish to trans-
fer a more or less finished document.
Luckily, Wordworth v2 tor the Amigo witf
load a wide variety of documents , including
Microsoft Word (though onty the MS-DOS
version) and Rich Text format (RTF), which
Word 5 refers to os interchange Format ,
Using the latter, it is possible to transfer
o document from Word $ to Wordworth v2
white retaining all character formatting
commands.
To do so r users of the A 1200 will have
to take advantage of the CrosiDos utility
huiit into Workbench 3,0. Use this to for-
mat o PC disk for [he Merc to read jq
read K disks formatted on the Mac, as this
is the only way sfro/j of buyfog the ram-
meraol Mac- 2 -Do s package to make an
Amiga and Mac speak fo each other.
Wish list
J have a mixed bag for you, but first
something for the powers that be at
Commodore. Who in this day and age in
their right mind refeases a computer
>
without a hard drive option? \'m talking
about the A1200 of course.
It r s a joke! Surely it's not difficult to
source the hard drives, and though you
might want to keep costs down on a
machine like this, don't you realise that
people want a hard drive and will pay for
one? Why doesn't AC print a question-
naire for Amiga fans to fill in giving their
views on the specs for a decent Amiga?
The Amiga is an established computer
that can only get better, but when are
Commodore going to become customer-
friendly by accepting some feed back from
users? Like, tor instance, I would like a
through-port on my A670 when it
appears.
Now it's ACs turn, I think you turn out
a good varied interest magazine, but how
about in the comm* column a couple of
months devoted to things like robotic
control reading sensors, communication
by short wave radio, receiving weather
satellite signals and so on? There are
other things to communicate with other
than BBSs, you know!
Jon Sf-ewart, 5*ft«rtand
If Commodore are reading this page, i hope
they realise just how barking mod their
orrrissroa of an AI2QQHQ was /rom the
launch last yeor end how baffled the baying
public are by E he derisJort.
As for a questionnaire? we receive
eitough feedback from reader* nol to have
to 05* them precise questions about their
favourite Amiga, However, if you'd oil like to
send your wish Ssfs to me, Vd be glad to
keep track of the ESP perfect machine.
We haven't printed any hardware pro-
ject* for a while become we've found that
they are fairly unpopular? but if a hidden
ca&e of the soldering iron brigade makes
itself Jfoown among our readership we moy
bring them back . Thu, t might add r rs highly
unlikely? but it's a pcsjiiwfify.
Kickstart cure
Could you please tell me rf there is a pro-
gram that will make the old A50Q games
work on the AS 00 Plus and AG007 1 have
already got the Degrader program but
that Just takes the memory down to 51 2k.
1 5 there a program that will change the
Kickstart to 1.3 from 2.04?
1 read in your issue SB news section
that there was such a prog ram. Could you
tell me where to get hold of it?

few drawbockSr
First of all A120Q compatibility problems
are more offer? frhan not caused by the

Kickstart chip portkuiarfy where fames are
concerned , and the options available
through [he boot menu are [he best cure
for these problems.
Secondly, RetoKick, like all software
Kickstart switchers, requires that the user
already has a copy of the tfri^stPri ROM on
disk. This software is Commodore's copy-
right and has only ever been released on
disk to developers and the original AJ000
owners.
Some companies are distributing this
and other Kickstart switchers with oil new
A? 200s, and rumours are that some are

accepting what might be Miaf software,
Hard cash
I'm writing in response to the article in
your March issue where the A! 200 is
compared to 1BM-PC clones. The article
made interesting reading, especially
your views about Ami gas not having a
hard drive as standard.
The question I would ask is why are
hard drives for the A500 Plus so expen-
sive? The average price of a 42Mb drive
with 2Mb RAM is £350 to £400, yet last
year Commodore cut the price of the
A600 by £10 Oj which priced them at
£399 with 40Mb hard drive.
Naw they've brought out the AJ2Q0
which sells for about £550 with 40Mb
hard drive. The point I am making is that
I would like to buy a hard drive for my
A 500, but when you consider the price
and the advantages of Ihe A! 200 it
makes yau wonder which items are
priced correctly,
P Cole? Braintree
Mast of the products to which you refer
are hampered in any price war fay the fact
that they are external devices and because
the A500 Plus, unlike the A600 and
Al 200 , doesn t have a hand drive interface
built in*
The presence of the IDE interface on
Right to reply
On reading Ihe letter entitled "Air crash" in our March issue,
Thcilion Software's UK representative, Tony King, has exercised his
right to reply with the fallowing;
1 was very concerned to hear of a customer who had returned his
product to Thalton Germany and who had not yet received a
reply. While you wen? quite correct in printing the UK contact
number and my name, 1 felt the tone ol your reply left something
to be desired. Thalion, being i German company, operates a quite
adequate customer services depart ment based in Germany.
It should be remembered that Airbus A 320 is essentially an
imported product and has been on release for ewer a year. With a
new agreement in place, all future releases of Airbus will have UK
registration cards and points of contact.
Finally, remember the following important fact, As of February
1 , 1 993., A32Q Airbus on all formats across Europe had sold in
excess of 147,000 units, and while I am not offering excuses for
what happened to Mr Cooper or Mr Rose, that is an awful fat of
registration cards.
There are updates and mailshots in preparation, including new
products and so on, and as these become available, customers
who have returned their registration cards will be informed.
Tony King, Thollon
On a final note, Ezra Surf would like to apologise to Thalron for
the unnecessarily sarcastic tone of the reply to the letter in our .
March issue.
I'd also like to point out that this shows how concern from
customers, if voiced rather than bottled up, can prompt the
responsible software companies to act.

issue ol Amiga Comparing, I noticed

Gently does it
Am \ the only Amiga owner who
doesn't (urn into a raving lunatic every
time an opinion is expressed on the
future of the Amiga or the PC threat?
I read with interest your comments in
the Title Fight article about how most of
us Indulge in "My computer Is better
than your computer* arguments, and 1
agree whole heartedly.
I regularly go down to a local com-
puter cSub {no - we don't pirate games}
where all sorts of users can be found,,
some of whom have Ami gas, some have
PCs, some even have Archimedes.
They are mostly older,, mature peo-
ple, but as soon as someone hints that
the Amiga might be better than the PC
or the Archimedes, a ridiculous argu-
ment breaks out which is made all the
worse if it carries on in the pub after our
dub meet.
Grown men squabbling like children
over the relative merits of the Amiga's
custom chips or the fabled Falcon's DSP
make for a fairly sad backdrop to any
evening, especially in a room where the
television in the corner is showing pic-
tures of bombed-out Sarajevo, images
of profound concern which rank below
the difference between SCSI and IDE in
importance to these poor people, Can't
they just get a life or something?

G ra p hie s
W ith the advent of the ACA
chip sel, most of us won-
dered what would become
of the Amiga's third-party 24 -bit market.
The high resolution and 262 r ftQ 0 colour*
of HamE seemed good enough for many
of the static images previously only possi^
hie using hill-blown 24-bit cards ranging
in price from £600 to over £2 r 000 r Why
then should the Amiga enthusiast or low
end video producer spend more than the
£199 price of an A 1200?
Only budget 24 -bit boards can hope to
continue to appeal to the mass market,
but the quandary here is that most of
these boards are so stripped dawn as to
be useless for video work, leaving them as
high qua illy but decidedly non-standard
display devices. Peripherals of this kind will
still appeal to those who want or need a
24-bit display tor artwork only, but most
users Will take one look at the problems of
software supply and give such devices a
body swerve.
Any new 24-bit board therefore has a
hurdle to climb, For it to he viable, it must
offer either professional capabilities or
enough low cost power and compatibility
to entice users into buying it in preference
to the AG A upgrade path. Retina, from
VI ah manufacturers Mac roSy stem, takes
Ihe latter approach Id bring Amiga users a
true 24-bit board from as little as £350.
Flicker fixer
Remarkably, and without stretching
reality too far, the board can also claim io
be a flicker fixer and graphics accelerator
Into the bargain. This is in no small way
due to some very clever programming
and a suite of Workbench utilities supplied
with the hardware.
The Mina fits internally in any A2Q0O,
3000, or 4000 Zo rro slot and is a fairly
basic looking piece of kit, comprising of a
couple of custom chips and a bank of
VRAM in the shape of 70ns ZIP chips. For
output it depends solely on a VCA-style
15 -pin D-plug of the type used by Innu-
merable monitors, but which offers only
RGB signals. For use with most video
equipment, the board's output will there-
fore have to be passed through an
encoder costing a further £1 50 or so.
Restrictions in this area
are the most Common
problem with cheaper
boards, and Retina is no
exception, Serious video
enthusiasts would therefore
be advised either to look
elsewhere or include the
costs of a PAL or y/C
encoder in their calcula-
tion s, especially as Rerina
has no on-board genlock or
frameg rabbet

Hitting the target
Rrtmj is ihe first budget board to make use of a technique known as retargetable graph-
ics, a buzzword which will eventually see a revolution m Amiga displays, Pul simply, at
means that instead of having to go straight to the Amiga's graphics chips, any display
device will be able to use a go-between In the shape of a software library.
Software which has been well designed will automatically look for such display-
libraries, and ihe screen display from, say, a OTP package, will automatically be retar-
geted dl whatever board is plugged into that particular machine, Suppliers of new
devices such as Retina will therefore have only to write a library for their card for the
Amiga and my OS-legal software to use it as the standard display. Retargetable graphics
are due to be incorporated into Kickstart 4.0 and should encourage more manufacturers
to make their own display cards.
emulation. By running the ReLinaEmy pro-
gram, either from Workbench or during
start-up through the WB Startup drawer,
users can have the card intercept all stan-
dard Workbench display functions so that
Workbench and most programs which

Amiga monitor - 1084 or I960 - and the
Retina display sent to anything from a
cheap VGA to a 21 in multisync depending
on your budget, in this situation it is possi-
ble to retain compatibility with all existing
software while displaying 24-bit images In
the best passible resolution.
The two disk supplied with the card
include, as well as the RetinaEmu and
screen mode programs, a display utility,
loaders and savers for ADRro, and VDPaint
2.6, the latest version of a package which
first appeared on the VD2Q0Q graphics
card. Additionally, there is a Harlequin
library' to enable the board to roughly
emulate the much more expensive
Harlequin card, and an Afiexx script for
Black Belt's Image Mr package to enable
this powerful image manipulation pro-
gram to use a 24-bit Retina screen.,
ADRro has become such a de facto
standard for Amiga graphics processing
that it would have been surprising had
MacroSystem tailed to supply a saver, but
this does not detract from the fact that
they have and that it does the job. Once
installed, the AD Pm user can select the
saver from the usual list within the pro-
gram and any image saved is then re-
routed to- the 24-bit display.
Display control
A choice of raw image or rendered
data is available, along with B-bit grey,
but there is none of the sophisticated
control over the display as that offered
by, lor example, the Harlequin saver.
Users cannot choose screen offsets or
whether to centre an image in the
screen, thus robbing the saver of much of
its usefulness. Of ah the software supplied
with Retina, this is the routine I would
most urge the programmers to
reconsider.
A particular headache with the AD Pro
saver is that because it flips display to the
Retina buffer, it isn't possible to hick back
to ADPro using a mouse dkk. One must
instead use the lett-Amiga-IM route, and
this is a real pain when viewing a large
number of images.

Bundled paint package is a bonus
Retina's bundled 24-bit paint package, VDPaint 2 A is an
evolution of a program which first appeared on the
VP2000 display card a few years ago, and were it not for
the appearance of DCTV and IV24 its mere presence as a
freebie would have been good enough. However, the
sheer quality of DCTV's bundled paint program and the
relatively poor MacroPaint on the IV24 have set out a
standard (one high, the other low) by which we may
judge.
Though not a competitor for the still unequalled
TVPaint, VDPainL stands up well as a paint package in its
own right, and does most of what is required of it.
Images In either 24-bit IFF (3LBM or DEEP), or any of the
AGA picture formats can be loaded, and the package will
save images in JPEG to save on hard drive space. This can
be a life-saver lor the user with a passion for 24-bit but a
hard drive with limited capacity.
Other formats supported indude VDPaint'* own for-
mat, PPM, and separated RGB hfes. A nice touch i* the
minipic appended to all files saved from the paint pack-
age. This is similar to the previews offered by OpalPaint in
that it appears in the load requester window whenever
the user re- loads a VDPaint file and is very handy when
scanning a drawer full of hies for a particular image.
In action, all painting features are accessed from a sin-
gle floating Loolbox which can be easily popped up on
screen with a click of the right mouse button but whose
Minor font h upJ fo ffffrffPPff Imafci m paiithfc
design is simple and comprehensive enough to take the
user into a productive groove after the first few hours of
use.
One sensible feature is the way the program controls
painting effect!* Rather than utilise Focal control of effects
like gradient Fll and Forcing the user to select them when
a tool b chosen for use, VDPaint provides a global setting.
A bank of icons at the bottom of the toolbox otter a vari-
ety of paint application techniques including gradients,
rub-through, smoke, and smear, but those once selected
stay on and work with all tools until another effect is
chosen.
It is most often the case that when painting, the user is
continually switching Irom solid paint application to per-
haps an airbrush, then text, back to painting, but this
time with the smoke effect, then maybe a bit of smear-
ing. When a single dick at the beginning of the process
can turn on an effect for all future operations, increased
usability is the result.
The tools themselves work
very well, and on the most
part with a Fair degree ol
speed, despite the latt that
this is a bundled freebie.
Speed degradation occurs

especially when brushes are
used as fills or when large

Genlock problems
Rttlflri's only citflput Is a Tj pin VGA port, which means It Is virtually impossible to

oolpuE from the buili in 2] pin port on every Amiga use ihe Amiga's unique
video Friendly signal lo make gen Inc king both easy and cheap.
Tfie reason for this is Ihe sync pulse generated by Amiga 1 . lo which any genlock

iind it is Ibis sort of output which makes the more expensive cards such as

Other popular cards, such as GpaIVKfon, either have genlocks which are
designed specially lo lil lei Ihe card, or provide 1 heir own syru pulse and a range
ol video outputs such as Y/C or composite. In this respect, NcHna Is tar behind,
more useful, though of course only so
long as the user has access to this pro-
gram. Simply by selecting the ARexx
script as the redraw screen script in
ImageMr's display preferences, the pro-
gram's output is redirected to the 24-bit
buffer whenever a redraw is ordered, lo
effect, this means that any of the pack-
age's advanced Image processing tools
can be applied to a graphic and the true
results seen immediately rather than as a
rough HAM preview.
Probably the only drawback for
Image Mr users is that the program flips

back into standard display when any
screen interaction js called for, such as
when a brush is cut out or an area,
marked for a specific effect. As the image
loaded is more than likely a 24-bit image
(why else would one need Retina?} the
screen representation of the graphic is, to
say the least,, difficult to work on. This
aside, I would certainly prefer refuse
ImageMr with Retina than without.
Slideshows
Macro System's supplied screen display
program. Retin a Display, is a fairly basic
utility, but it does have the ability to dis-
play a number of pictures m sequence
with user-definable delay and speed
between each for very simple slideshows.
Other than this, it is restricted to display-
ing images on the Retina 24 -bit screen,
though it makes use of AppFcon tech-
niques to enable Ihe user to simply drag
an IFF file's icon into the RetinaDi splay
window rather than use CLi
The utility purports to provide double-
buffered animation on the Retina by run-
ning a series of images from the hard
drive then buffering them in RAM for a
faster animation the second time round,
but every picture I've tried so far has been
refected by the program as unsuitable for
buffering. F am therefore unable to judge
how well animation would work on this
otherwise fast card, though by the nature
□f Farge 24- bit files it is Unlikely to be any-
thing other than slow, despite any
amount of buffering.
Re tinaDis play's reluctance to buffer a
series of images is probably a simple bug
- the review card was Fully populated to
4Mb VRAM - but giver the fact that
quarter screen 24-bit files will animate at
only about the speed of a slideshow, to
hold one's breath in anticipation of
smooth full screen 24 -bit animation at
long last would be to invite suffocation.
Retina is Fast, but not that fast.
Retina is a splendid 24 -bit option for
the budding artist who needs 24-bit qual-
ity and either isn't interested in multime-
dia or has access Lo another machine
equipped with a more video-friendly dis-
play board.
For the enthusiast looking to move up a
notch and who isn't concerned about the
restrictions Retina places on the use of
standard auto- booting Amiga software,
this has to be the cheapest combination of
video accelerator (oF sorts), 2 4- bit card,
and flicker fixer, but for ihe video or multi-
media user Retina will hold
little appeal.

at running on 16-brt platforms. This, as one would
expect, is a bit of a problem for a paint program which is
operating in 24-bit, so MacraSystem supply both a 63000
and a 680x0 version of VDPaint, the fowlier version opti-
mised Lo use standard CPU instructions as quickly
as possible.
Drawing fools are, as usual, not designed to stun and
amaze and wouldn't look out of place in QPainL, but they
function as expected and furnish the user with enough
power For painting purposes. Painting effects, on the
other hand, are about as exotic and varied as in any other
package.
The most simple effect is the
much vaunted gradient, an
effect which, though as com-
mon as the flu, is still the most
usefuF For general 1 purpose back-
grounds and so on. In keeping
with tradition,, a simple
requester enables the setting of
gradients from any corner or
side of the screen, and up to
lour colours (one in each comer)
can be used in the blend.
My one grouch concerning
these blends was that to set one
up required the use of three
requesters, first a trip to the
colour swatch to choose some
colours tor the range, then off to
the blend requester Lo choose which ol the ten or so
blends to use, then finally a visit to the gradient requester
to set up which corner or side of the screen the blend was
to progress from. Alter all this* one gradient combination
is available for use. Not a particularly smooth operation.
Text handling is much better, and by clicking on the
style icon the user can access all Amiga fonts, including
Agfa outline fonts such as CGTrmes and those supplied in
the Agfa, starter pack reviewed last month. These are the
ideal typefaces for use in 24 -bit images as they are almost
jaggie4ree on screen and require little in the way of anti-
aliasing to create a smooth finish. However, even when
ffu b-thrfHtQh fOW br a ifnrrtfpgfp efftctlYt technique
using bitmap fonts, the style requester's variable anti-
aliasing control makes life a lot easier.
Other stars in the paint line up include the mask func-
tion, rub-through, and VLab support. Masking is one of
the most important techniques of image creation on any
machine, and as such it must be properly implemented.
Luckily, VP Paint has a fulsome mask function which
allows masks defined as hue, saturation or value of the
selected cofour. AH of these can be set from zero to 255,
making very gradual masks tor blending a picture info a
background and so on.
Smiling planet
Rub-through^ the technique of rubbing away part of
one buffer to reveal the picture held in the background
buffer is available on Retinas with 2Mb of VRAM or more
and, when used in conjunction with masks and the air-
brush, makes some very useful elfects possible. The smil-
ing plane! Earth is a good example of how combining
one image and another in this way makes for a com-
pletely different effect.
Finally, direct support for the VLab 24-bit video digi-
tiser usmg an Identical monitor window to that used by
V Lab's own software gives Retina a much needed video
link to the outside world. The images captured by VLab
are stored directly in the card's VRAM for immediate
touefi-up or saving to disk, and the benefits of being able
to immediately view a captured video frame in full 24-bit
cannot be understated.

Update
AG A gathers
new d isciples
Wordworth 2 becomes the latest major
package to find a seat on the AGA
bandwagon, Final Copy fixes its font
problems, and OpalVision software gets
a boost. Read on...
T he initial release- of WoncJworth v2
contained few disappointments
for reviewers, but it did have two
major weaknesses.
AGA file formats, including HamB and
256-coloLir IfFs, could be loaded lor inclu-
sion in documents, but they were not
displayed on screen in the glorious colour
available through Final Copy FL
This meant that though Wordworth v2
was far and away the more powerful fn
terms of its wordprocessing features, it
had a distinct disadvantage when compil-
ing for the A 1 200/4000 market
In addition, the package's handing of
all graphics was sfow and in need of
improvement. Dig it a announced at the
time that an upgrade to enable screen
display ol AGA graphics was on the way,
and though a couple of months later [han
at first promised, it finally arrived this
month.
Too many supposedly ACA-frrendh
programs continue to offer simple choices
between high and low resolution or “open
on Workbench" variations rather than
deaFing directly with custom screens in
Super hi-res or Productivity modes.
Wordworth v2 at last brings AGA users
the choice of any screen mode currently
possible through the Workbench prefer-
ences settings, which means that those
with high quality brgfr resolution monitors
can word process in any resolution.
Users choose a screen mode using a
simple Wordworth preferences requester.
Screen width and height are displayed
and there is a slidEr for the user to specify
the number of screen colours, so there
can be no complaints about the overall
implementation.
Unfortunately, this cannot be said lor
the use of the graphics themselves,
importing large pictures is still a tortuous
exercise resulting in long delays while
screen pictures are built up, so there is still
an urgent need for Digital programmers
to improve on things as they Hand
Wordworth may now be complete In
terms of its AGA compatibility, but it still
has a way to go in usability, at least where
graphics are concerned.

OpalVision vl.7
Australia's answer to the Video Toaster,
promising to bring PAL users the same
sort of power features as the NTSC-only
NewTek unit, has been available for about
eight, months and the hardware upgrades
we were given a tantalising hint of at the
board's launch are still a white away.
However, the bundled software pack-
age has improved steadily since it First
appeared, and now offers several major
?m prove men ts over vl „Q ,
Consisting in the mam of MakeAnim24
and flayAnim2^ r these utilities offer a rare
chance to see real-time 24 -bit animation.
The catch, of course, is that playback
speeds are less than smooth [frame rates
of between 20 fps for 1 2-bii and 4 fps for
full 24 =bit are the norm) and high resolu-
tion animation is just not possible, but as a
preview method for sequences which will
eventually end up on tape the AnimMATF
Suite is a solid addition to OpalVision,
Improvements to Opal Paint 1 J include
the addition of a property functioning
Alpha channel and the inclusion of a
Magic Wand feature.
The Alpha channel is an extra 8 -bit data
channel which can be added to any 24-bit
image and used for effects such as linear
keying, What this in effect means is that
an image can be gradually faded in or out
over 256 leveFs of brightness and the
background image, be it live video or
another graphic, will seem to fit smoothly
;into the foreground.
When Alpha painting mode is selected,
the user is given a paint selection of 256
greyscales,, with black representing
complete transparency and white opacity.
A transparency mask can then be
designed so that various parts ol the
screen are mare transparent than others
to allow keyhole effects or r if desired, a full
screen gradient from black to white
enabling linear keying, the smooth transi-
tion from graphics to five video.
A major drawback is that these sort Df
live video effects can only be used in
conjunction with the OpalVision
gen lock/ Frame grabber module which
not yet available, but once lully equipped
the OpalVision should be a
useful video production tool Fl

Final Copy II fonts
Final Copy II was a product whose almost universally smooth passage past the reviewers
was marred by only a couple of faults, the most criticised of which was the program's
complete reliance on its own font format.
The resulting inability to make use of either Agfa intellifonts or Adobe Type I
PostScript fonts restricted Final Copy PI users to the small collection of typefaces sup-
plied with the original program.
Since the general murmur of disapproval, however. Softwood have been hard at
work implementing both Agfa and Postscript-compatibility and the result is a much
more flexible package.
In addition to the Softwood fonts supplied with the original release, FCll now has 1 6
typefaces covering four popular fonts as used in most PostScript laser printers.
This includes Helvetica, Schoolbook* r irres, and Courier and gives the user the abiiity
to out pul high quality documents with better Wysiwyg than that possible with the "best
guess" method employed when a document does not use Adobe fonts.
As a ? uH-colour wordprocessor for the non-professional market of home users. Final
Copy II is now a more complete product, and still beats Wordworth v2 hands down on
graphic

A600 memory
F have an A600 which I use
mostly for games and wordpro-
cessing. E am cons id Eiii ng buying
either an external 1Mb RAM upgrade for
the credit card slot or else a second disk
drive.
Which would improve most the overall
performance of my computer? Would an
upgrade help to cut down on the number
of disk swaps necessary during a game as
much as a second disk drive would?
Finally, does the external RAM upgrade 1
have some sort of a through port in case 1
ever wanted to upgrade again?
Min GaOugher f Co Tyrone
B interesting problem, but wffb a
simple answer, Buying an extra
disk drive will help considerably to
reduce disk swapping when using commerc'd
packages but games don't always rake
advantage at extra drives.
When it comes down to memory this foci
Js a worthy add-on and wit: help with most
games and definitely improve the perfor-
mance of commercial packages.
There are two ways to add memory to
your A600. One js through the PCMCIA stay
on the sid? of the machine, but these cards
do not have any kind of pass-through and
ore expensive. The second way n to odd a
memory upgrade to your trap door expan-
sion .
If you take into account bow much a
PCMCIA card costs - sfroui i J 29 hr an
extra 2Mb against a I Mb trap door expan-
sion costing around £2S - Eherr you fl be able
to buy the trap door expansion and a second
disk drive for £90, which is less (hen just the
PCMCIA card . This will give you the best of
both worlds.
1200 compatibility
Recently I bought a copy of your maga-
H zine r the first in almost... well a
very long time. IVe recently
taken up computing again, and I
Sound advice from our experts, this
month on upgrading to an A1200,
adding a hard drive to anA5G0,
installing Maxiplan - and much more
plan to write software on the Amiga like l
did on my C64 and Vic 20 (remember the
days you could... no r had to tty to fit a
game in just 3k of memory?).
Currently I'm the nol-so-pfoud owner
□f an ASOO, which I bought a long time
ago, and never bothered to upgrade to
newer chipsets or Kickstart versions. What
I did buy was a second floppy drive, some
additional memory and a Midi interface,
5g now f think it's time to sell it, and
purchase an A 1200 model, so I can finally
get fid of the load disk drive, lots and lots
of guru messages and so on.
However, after reading about it in your
magazine, | have some questions which I
hope you can answer for me. Here they
are;
1. Can l connect my external drive to the
Al200 r or do I have to buy a special
A 1200 version?
2. Same as above, but now the apparatus
in question is a Midi interface,
3. As I dm very interested in (and use a lot
of ) music soft warn, I would like to know if
Bars and Pipes Professional will run on an
A120Q and if it will run faster. The reason I
ask is because I've read in some test that
because the A5GQ is slow, you can't use
too many modules to change Midi data in
real time.
As the A 1200 is about five times taster
than the A5QO, you should be able to use
(about) five times as many modules as
with the A5G0, Right?
4. is there a special version of Amos
(under development?) for the A 1200, that
can use the new graphic modes? Or is
Amos flexible enough so that you can use
the new modes with the "old" version?
5. And, speaking of Amos, does Amos sup-
port external devices, such as a Midi inter-
face? Do special commands exist within
A600 printer driver poser
I am a new owner/user of an A6QGHD and bought your
magazine (February) issue; In the free book Mastering the
1 that came with the magazine there is a section on
printer driver installation page 31 p which states that when opening
the Utilities window in the Workbench window there is an item
called install printer.
No matter how hard I look! can't find this program, I have stud-
ied the manual Using the Amiga Workbench. Is there i mistake in
Mustering The Amiga or am I doing something wrong?
Please help with this problem as. I am slowly going out of my shell

To change your printer driver you open your prefs drawer
and select printer, you wifi now see a box in the left top
comer of the screen. Click on the printer driver you want
fo use and then click on the save button.
Say you wont to use a Conor? Sjlti driver, it is not available in
you printer driven fist but you hove a disk with this driver on, You
wiif hove to copy the driver from the disk with it on and place in
your printers drawer which is in the Devi drawer on ySur
Workbench.
You then have to go to prefs and select printer again. This time
the new driver should appear in the available list of printer driven.
Protext poser
Q l Thank you for the excellent
f wordprocessof Protext, with
- the January issue of Amigo
Computing, it really makes my amateur-
ish efforts look very professional indeed.
i am using an Amiga 50G Plus,
enhanced by a "“plug in" 2Mb chip RAM
upgrade. Despite using all the com-
mands from Pretext s help facility and
your very good CoverDisk article, l can-
not get the program to save documents
or files to my external drive.
If I try to save from the menu, the
massage "disk full' 1 appears on the
monitor.

A lt you try pressing the Esc button
you will then enter the command
mode - s imply type in *iqvf
dfl .-filename" filename being the name

Amos for sending, receiving and altering
Midi data?
6. if you update an Amos version by
using, for example, D-Sam, will the Amos
compiler automatically handle the new
commands or does the compiler need to
be updated as well?
7. Specs for the A12QQ state that a maths
co-processor (6flE81/68d82) is optional.
Can Lhis be fitted directly onto its printed
circuit board, or does i t come as an
extension?
8. Are accelerator boards for the At 200
already under development? and what
about SCSI interfaces and CD drives?
9. Does the A 1200 have a built-in clock
(with battery backup)?

menf/orred prefer Jo run from fast memory
which can be mumpufofed faster than chip

4 . Yes and no, The new version of Amos w/'r
mn faster on the A I 200 hat os yet A will not
lake advantage pf i/re Al200*s new AGA
chipset, although this may appear in the
fete jammer.
5. Amos does support externa! devices
through atl of the ports, tot to program it to
control a Midi interface will take consider -
able knowledge of Midi devices and Signals.
6. Nq, the compiler will flat need updating.
7. Yes there is space on the motherboard of
the AlZOO for a moths co-processor, hut you
have to hove it fitted by Commodore
through Wang. You can also get trap door
boards to upgrade to a moths co-pro.
8, The M&X 1200 is the only hoard to offer a
speed increase for tber A1200 of this time,
although several companies are planning
much faster boards in the near future and
there are rumour tJwt CD7V wilt be avail-
able for the A 1200.
A500+ hard drive
I need a hard drive, but am con-
fused as to their differences and
which is most suitable for my
use. I want to run programs like Final
Copy and Protect, and probably a paint
package such as DPainQ* although I don't
use graphics very much,
Obviously the GVP HD8 it an option,
but what about the others? I noticed
Evesham Micros are selling a reference
1 DO for £229 - why is this unit so much
cheaper than a GVP?
The Ascom Addhard is another possi-
ble, but it has no SCSI port. What's a S.CSI
port and do I need one? Roctec have a
unit at £289, is that one any good? No
wonder I'm contused]
Secondly all these units talk of extra
RAM. Will I need RAM, and if so, how
much? I appreciate you can't recommend
a maker outright, but I really do need
some advice as to which unit would be
the best value, without going for the most
expensive and getting lots of functions I
don't need,
Pete Southey, Chichester
You sound as though you really
■* w are in a pickle so we 1 // keep it s im-

hove enough storage i pace with around 40
to 52Mb hard drive, and your 2Mb of RAM
should also be OK tor most tafogs Oi'Cbougb
fitting a hard drive wifi reduce this slightly.
The mom difference between all the
drives on the market is whether or not [bey
are 5C5J or IP f drives. As a rule SCSI drives
arc quicker T hat the speed difference is not
enough for a home user to worry about.
Good frotures to foofc oiri for are ability
to add extra memory and a DM 4 side
expansion pass-through.
A/so if you p/ay games ft's a good idea to
see if the drive has a switch to disable it

Those 'cheap' American Amigas
in your magazine recently you were comparing Amiga
price differences in Britain and Europe,, Last summer I
was teaching kids Animation in the USA.
1 managed to convince the camp director that buying an
Amiga would be a good idea:. So It visited the local computer
shop and picked up an Amiga package for less than a fifth of 'he
cost in Britain.
Getting swiftly to the point,, in an earlier mag you gave details
of various changes required to a US Amiga to enable it to work
in the UK. What changes would you need to be made lo an
A1 200, assuming it wouldn't be used with a TV, to make it waft
in the UK.
Darid Thomson, Dundee
H lf your using the A12Q0 on either a monitor or a TV
through a scad socket you will have no trouble with the
display , once you have s el the screen prefs from
Workbench fa PAL As lor as power goes you fust need a British
power supply, either an A50fl one ora A1 200 wilt do.
Why you s/ioufo want fa do this is beyond as, os the Amiga
A 1200 is roughly the same price in the States at the moment due to
the failing value of the Pound against the Dollar. At the moment it 's
hr cheaper Jo buy an AJ200 from Germany - quite unusual, as the
A1200 is munafoclured frr SctXW^
tf you do buy an Amiga from Germany, some ol the keys are in
different places. Getting round this just invokes swapping the Key
caps and then setting the heat lo English from Workbench ,
Power Patch
A 1 am writing with reference lo
the letter printed in your
March issue from John Gray,
who was experiencing trouble with
placing the power patch program in
his startup sequence.
i had the same problem with error
104 being given when run from the
startup sequence, on my AT 500 run-
ning under Kickstart 2, However I
found that it Is possible to run PP
from ihe startup sequence by running
it in the background using;
or alternatively using Ihe public
domain program called RunBack,
Unfortunately I don t know whelher
this will work under Kicks tart 13.
However I see no reason why it
shouldn't. I hope this helps Mr John

Software
Paul Austin continues his voyage into the
virtual world with an exclusive review of
VistaPro 3.0, The question is, can it beat the
impressive efforts of Scenery Animator2?
A s you may have spotted, this
month's issue is something of a
fractal spectacular with land-
scapes and spirals, Mandlebrots and
clouds, alt emanating Irom what is usually
thg arid artistic plane of pure
mathematics.
Thanks to the aforementioned maths,
Vista Pro 3.0 takes the already impressive
talents of its predecessor and expands on
them with a whole range of added fea-
tures which without doubt make it the
most flexible fractal generator on the mar-
ket-
Bowever flexibility alone doesn't make
VistaPro3.0 the only choice. If you're in
the market for a fast results and a totally
self-contained system, Scenery Animator
2.0 certainly puts up a spirited fight.
For existing Vista fans, the all new 3D
interface will come as a pleasant change
but beneath the initial front end lurks a
collection of new screens dealing with the
improved graphic range of the Amiga,
additional tree rendering control and
perhaps most interesting of all, the pro-
gram's new feature placement options,
It's really on the mam control panel
where the fun starts. As you can probably
see, the top of the screen is dominated by
the program's orientation controls for
both camera and target.
Basic setup couldn't really be simpler
with placement of both camera and tar-
get being a matter of clicking on the map
which instantly reads the data into the
appropriate display with a 30 metre verti-
cal offset for the camera..
Between the relative data tor both
camera and target lurk the essentia ; axis
control buttons which allow you to spec-
ify whether or not a particular axis should
be locked - a useful option as accidental
repositioning can and does happen.
Immediately beneath basic orientation
come a selection of more subtle effects

including numerical bank^ heading, pitch
and range controls, the first three of
which are pretty self explanatory. The
fourth defines the distance at which the
software will ignore features within the
scene.
Assuming the basic pointing of the
camera is complete, the really enthralling
part of scene design can begin. As you'd
expect bask feature control comes first,
with sea level, tree line, snowline and haze
being the first steps on the road to real-
ism.
Clicked in
Like their counterparts in the orienta-
tion section, l he necessary data can be
input either via typing or more likely by a
well placed mouse click which when com-
bined with the desired feature button
defines the relative height for the chosen
feature.
Below these essential elements come a
whole host of optional features all
activated by their own button. Depending
on the complexity of the option the
action will either produce a more involved
control panel or simply operate as a tog-
gle, The first four burtons definitely fall
into ihe first bracket with the exception of
the lake button which simple reports the
A inner 17

tnrtd%inpe
specified height of the new lake, draws it
□n the affected area and then asks for
confirmation.
On the other side of the coin come the
tree options which five on easily the most
complex option screen within the pro-
gram. As the screenshot shows, the avail-
able options are Immense but in short
they boil down to various levels of detail
for the trees and grass within the scene.
In addition its from here where you can
define which, if not all, of the four tree
varieties will appear, their density and
height plus whether they’re to be ren-
dered as 2D or 3D objects. As if that's not
enough, texture can be applied to further
enhance the effect.
Although the full complement of
options are shown in the grab, things
aren't quite as complex lor the beginner
as only when the Expert option is chosen
will the detail settings for the four tree
styles within each variety become
available.
Due to this style within a variety, the
actual number of different tree "looks"
leaps from four to 16.
The next button - namely stereo -
offers another unique feature allowing you
to specify the generation of a left and
right view of the scene which can then be
K1 — |t ■ n.,.i- .j*. - .. i 1 Lui-e . » | IHm + i
combined and viewed with the 3D shutter
glasses.
Alas this doesn't mean you can use
red /green gel lenses as dedicated hard-
ware is essential for viewing - a nice touch
but probably useless for most people.
Cloud control comes next, again pro-
ducing a designer interface allowing the
generation of random clouds or alterna-
tively cloud formations derived form a
DEM file but alas there's no anim option
as found in Scenery Animator 2.0.
Remaining options
Fortunately for the majority of the
remaining options things aren't quite as
complex with an assortment of on/ offs
coupled with accept effect features avail-
able for roads, rivers, landscape smooth-
ing/enlargement and shrinking, buildings,
stars, cliffs, valleys, palette locking and
horizon definition.
As for the rest, a little mare detail might
be handy, especially for the new place
function. This allows you to zoom into a
specific area and manually add grass,
trees, buildings and roads as required.
To further improve quality, an option
to lock out random features can be
employed allowing only user defined ele-
ments to appear in the scene. And of ►

< course, what you add can also be
removed when necessary, There's even an
option to roughly edit the landscape itself
with a draw option allowing basic re-scal-
ing of the immediate terrain.
Assuming your scene is now complete
with designer trees, lakes, river, building,
roads and Cod knows what else, if s time
to make those finally quality control deci-
sions before hitting the Render button.
fn the final portion of the main screen
awaits a series of icons allowing yog to
specify just how photo -realistic - and
thereby time consuming - you want your
latest creation to be.
The first step is to select the polygon
size. In the highest setting a single poly-
gon can be the size of an entire mountain
side while in the smallest you achieve the
kind of quality shown in our screen shots
with the compromise being one of time -
although it must be said that VistaPro3.0
is easify on a par with Scenery
AmmatorZ.O tor speed, especially consid-
ering the additional detail offered. Next
on the list comes the transition dithering
which rather than dithering the entire
image simply controls the lade between
elements. The higher the figure the
smooth the overall look.
The texture option is in a similar vein
but rather than smoothing it adds more
d eta FI to l Fie polygons closest to the
camera thereby adding additional detail
to the image. As you progress through
the four available settings quality
The improved, function-filled pull-downs
As before the package has a full complement of pull downs menus opening as ever with
the Project menu which allows you to specify the sue of the overall landscape varying
between small, large, huge and auto sizes.
In praetke this simpy means that either single or combination DEM landscapes can be
loaded allowing mnger animation sequences or even more vast panoramic stills.
The available load options allow the import of four different types of OEM including
giant regkan landscapes created via the Farge, huge and auto options.
In addition you can also import clouds (whkh are in fact automatic OEM to cloud
conversions), Cmaps (otherwise known a* colour maps) plus standard and 24-bit IFF-
images.
As For saving, a' I of the above await plus an option to output both RGB fries and Turbo
Silver/ Imagine objects with the only limitation being that landscapes can only be output
as standard or extended DEM files.
Within the next pulf-down comes one of the most striking updates to the package in
the form a full WB 3-compatible image control panel which when active presents all the
existing 1 ,3 screen modes plus; the Fatest options available via WB 2 and 3,
These Include Ham8 and 256 colours, plus the complete range of AGA productivity
modes including super hi- res which means the program's maximum Dn-screen resolution
will now extend right to limit of the new chipset - but only if your machine is already
operating in the specified mode. Fo supplement the screen options the package benefits
from a collection of automatic overscan settings for all the available screen modes, and
like its counterpart the 24-bit buffer can also be defined to any size you require.
As well as Amiga screens the package also has the ophon to write directly to either
DCTV, Ham-E or the Firecracker 24-bit board. In the case of the DCTV Virtual Reality Labs
have cured a shortfall in the previous version by finally offering both three and four-bit-
plane output,
Within the same pull-down some old favourites reappear in the form of the fore-
ground and background options whkh allow the user to Import existing graphics and
place them - not surprisingly - either in the foreground or sky area of the image, thereby
lessening the need for additional and expensive image processing soFfware such as AD Pro.
Next up on the pull-down trail comes the program's script options and built-in anima-
tion control. Unfortunately standard animation within VistafTgS.O is sadly lacking in rela-
tion to Scenery Animator 2.O.,
In fact svithout the assistance of MakePath, the program's optional anim generator, the
best that can be managed From within the software is straight line from A to 8.
Although animation is limited, all isn't lost concerning scripts, in fact an additional
^manual comes as part of the package and goes into great lengths explaining the potential
*of controlling the program entirely franrscript hies.
In addition, scripts can be very handy for defining default setups complete with all the
detail settings, tree densities and so on, which otherwise can really slow down the genera-
tion process if carried out manually every time you boot-up the package or wish to re-
define the end result of a render. With the assistance of pm-saved scripts, literally any

Is it with having?
As mentioned way hack Vista Pro 3.0 is definitely the more flexible
of the two fractal generators but on the other hand It isn't as
complete a package as Scenery Animator2.0 which unlike Vista
comes with complete anim CC/ltrol as standard.
It s true that Virtual Reality Labs try their belt to address the
problem by adding 30 OEMs as opposed to just lour with Scenery
Animator?. 0 plus a complete MakePath fly through script for
each.
Basically it all bolts down to what your requirements are. If your
needs are for the occasional backdrop or anim for video or
multimedia, Scenery Animator is both easy to setup and contains
all you'll need for high quality if rather basic onims and statics.
If on the other hand youVe looking for a more artistic platform
which can do more than simply generate backdrops or basic
anitns, VistaPro3.Q Is the only choice - but be warned, setting
It up is definitely more complex and re-renders are usually more
frequent.

improves but again at the expense ol
rendering speed.
Last of this particular quartet comes
another version of dithering but in this
case it's of the sort found on many Amiga
packages designed simply break up the
uniformity of the image in an attempt at
added realism.
Framing your scene is the next task and
to help the process the program otters a
variety of lens controls Starting with twin
wide and zoom settings plus a user
definable option responsible tor the ftshi
eye effect seen in one of our examples.
Yet another new feature also makes its
appearance here in the form of a port,
starboard and forward view point which
as yet another example shows allows three
images to be generated from the same
point which can then be appended in an
image processing package producing a
widescreen effect.
The penultimate option takes the farm
of the program's internal fractal
generation avowing you to create your
own landscapes or OEMs as either islands
or solid land mass by simply specifying
which you prefer and then entering a
seed from which the fractal is produced
In addition the panel also otters a series
of tour fractalising settings whkh define
the relative roughness of the newly cre-
ated landscape white the final stretch
option allows an increase
in depth of the DEM to
be set and applied by the
user - both of the last
two options can be
applied to existing DEMs
to add additional fractal
detail to the image.
Lastly comes one of
the most important
mood-making element of
the program, namely
Lighting. From this you
can either opt for a
selection ol preset
lighting angles of aUema-*
Lively define your own.
To enhance the effect, an exaggeration
option can be applied to deepen the
mood while a quick but
effective shadowing button adds that final
touch of realism to your creation.

setup can be loaded and applied instantly, a graphic example of this coming from the
final pul! -down which otters four such scripts as toggle bie options which kids the package
into various quality inodes.
Alongside script control within the same pull-down comes the program’s animation
output options which include normal anim5 H RGB, IFF24 and Vanim which is the pro-
gram's own proprietary direcblrom-disk anim format, which although useful is limited to a
maximum of 12 FP5-
With lack of animation control but abundance of output options the package does
seem a little lopsided, but in fact this variety isn't quite as peculiar as you might imagine
as with the package comes 30 pre-designed scripts designed specifically For individual
DEM files.
The aforesaid scripts are obviously the work of Make Path which AC will cover along
with Terraform in the Update column next month.
This dependence on MakePath is the real reason tor such varied animation support and
with that in mind it seems strange that both it and Terrafofm2.0 don't come as part of the
Vista Pfo5-Q package. Unfortunately to get hold of this almost essential software you'll have
to contact Virtual Reality Labs direct.
The last remaining pull-down holds another Vista favmirite which like full AG A support
is unique to the package. From the JmpExp pull-down comes Vista's excellent colour map
and IFF loading and conversion tools.
From here you tan either import or export colour maps or save maps as 2D EFFs which
can then be edited and re-imported complete with the new features ready for re- render-
ing in 3D. In addition, existing 2D images can be brought in and converted into DEM files
according to colour or intensity. So for example, it's possible to digitise images such as
real-world maps, apply the appropriate colour map, and import them ready for rendering
as virtual reflections of their real-world counterparts.
This above ill else makes Vista ProT.O special and a potentially invaluable artistic tool
and with the addition of the new Turbo Silverttmage output options, its potential is
stretched even further,

F ractals, and more often fractal gener-
ators, tend to gel a hard lime in the
press, primarily dye to their led ions
operation and equally boring exponents.
No matter how hard you try, fractals by
nature lead to dreary conversations abouL
chaos theory, super strings, ley lines, Pink
Floyd, The Prisoner and all things pseudo-
mtellectuar - invariably rounding off with a
side-splitting recital of the parrot sketch.
With this sort of reputation it's a tricky
business trying to convince any normal per-
son that fractals can be interesting and more
importantly useful

Paul Austin spotlights Fractuality, a program
that's guaranteed to send anoraks into
ecstasy and turn artists into insomniacs
live aspect of the palette is that you don't
collar image of the average computer user
and as a result I must admit to exploring
Fractuality with a healthy degree of cynicism.
Much to my surprise - and that of the
equal y cynical AC staff - Fractuality is unbe-
lievably addictive by being blissfully simple to
operate while producing stunning results.
Although fractal creation has a reputation
for complexity, within Fractuality this
couldn't be further from the truth as the
entire procedure is controlled by simple
mouse clicks and toggle boxes.
Actual generation and definition of frac-
tals is simple. To create your first image alll
you need do is rhek cm the generate image
buttons which instantly computes the basic
building block of ^actuality's endless reper-
toire, the amoeba within the primordial!
mathemaiic soup being the good old
Mandelbrot set. from this familiar image an
unlimited variety awaits either via ever closer
examination ot the Mandelbrot itself or alter-
natively by adventures into its alter ego,
namely the Julia sets.
This new breed of fractal awaits through-
out the basic Mandelbrot and by simply
clicking on any point a completely new and
radically different selection of images can be
created.
This option, to eattier zoom into the basic
Mandelbrot or diversify mo the Julia sets,
means infinite- variety awaits. The option to
zoom into the fractal landscape is taken to
its logical extreme in the form a! animations
which can be generated between two pre-
defined locations within the fractal of your
choice.
Animation is achieved by first saving an
IFF Of Fractuaflty Pa rams file to diik then
continuing deeper into the fractal. When a
suitable finishing point is found the image
already on disk can be used in conjunction
with the present one to generaEe an entire
animation with all the tweens being auto-
matically produced by the software.
The number of frames and amount of
zoom is completely at your control As each
new frame is generated it J s saved direct to
dijk r As a result, the size of anims is limited
only by available disk space. Ibis is especially
useful when working with Fractuaiity's
optional 24-bik output.
Obviously with the varied needs of poterv
tial users, flexible output is
essential and here Fractuality
scores well with options to
render hi-res 16 colour IF H f
Extra Half Brite, 32 colour lo-
res or 24-bit IFFs in a selection
of standard, interlaced and
overscan ned screen resolu-
tions, However, there's no
AGA support as yet.
Although this seems a well
varied selection I must admit I
would prefer an option for
the screen resolutions of your
choice. Although fine for cer-
tain applications, this rigid
structure will often mean
some form of image process-
ing will be required in order
to supply the exact output
you may require. Admittedly
this is a small point but never-
theless a bit annoying.
In addition to sizing and file types, palette
control is equally important. Fortunately this
aspect of the program has oeen particularly
well designed with a selection of 16 prede-
fined colour gradients/com binatians r
If you prefer a totally original look,
DPaint-style colour pots, sliders, copy and
swap options allow a new palette to be built
from the ground up.
Something
In addition to the bask 16 colours addi-
tional options allow rendering in both two
and four colours plus a definable 2 4- bit
range which in effect limits the smoothing
between each colour component - a process
which can often detract from the image
rather than enhance it.
The final, and definitely the most mes-
meric aspect of the program, Is the built- in
colour cycling whkh, with the aid of defin-
able speed settings, allows the already beau-
tiful fractals to pulsate with colour.
This feature above all sold the final die-
hard AC cynics on the software as conversa-
tion. slowly became embroidered with the
kind of phraseology usual reserved for
Woodstock or Glastonbury. Another attrac-
need to re- render to experiment as palettes
can be interchanged; on an existing image as
required. Only when a new palette is decided
upon does a re-render become essential.
QK, I admit that apart from the occasional
artistic or DTV application Fractuality has
fairly limited practical appeal however they
don't come much more cynical than yours
truly and 4 must admit to being completely
hooked.
If you're into serious maths, hardcore
music, mind-blowing art or equally mind-
blowing substances, Fractuality W J Y~ J
is simply a must. FjIl.'. *

w
I got the power
As the techno-bods may be awar^ a true fractal Is an infi-
nite entity and by definition should allow a limitless amount
of zoom while retaining the same degree of detail.
In the case of Fractuality this isn't strictly the case as for
the sake of speed the maximum zoom allowed is
0 . 000000000001 ,
For maths purists limiting a fractal's mathematical per-
fection can be considered sacrilege but this tiny trade does
make Fractuality the fastest fractal generator IVe ever used
- it r s ideal For 68000 machines. To put the maximum zoom
into perspective it's worth plagiarising the manual a little.
Assuming you r re working on a 25an screen at maxi-
mum zoom the unseen area of the Mandelbrot you are
within would be roughly 2, 500,000,000 kilometres across -
an area big enough to contain the complete orbit of
Jupiter. Impressive stuff!
And of course if you employ the program's dwell feature
this tiny particle of fractal space will be just as clear as the
entire Mandelbrot prior to your mammoth zoom..

A lthough largely ignored due to
Vista Pro 2, Scenery Animator
v2. 0 is making a comeback with
a combination of good value and solid
performance.
tike its contemporary, the package
employs OEMs (Digital Elevation Models)
to generate reatecenes, four of which come
with the package with an additional 32
available as add-ons.
As the name suggests, it is heavily
geared towards animation and as a result
boasts options to create both standard IFF
and DCTV arums direct, as well as general
ing single frames in both of the above for-
mats plus IFF 2A s and 24- bit PCX images.
Incidentally, Ml 24-hit anims can also be
created on a single frame basis. Thankfully,
all animations can be rendered either in full
or in part.
Although the main screen tends to be
where most time is spent, the package is
actually split into three separate areas.
However, before wandering too far 111 con-
centrate on the main screen's primary func-
tion of finishing touches and fine tuning.
The screen itself is dominated by the
preview window which updates automata
tally to show the present camera position
and subsequent landscape whenever alter-
ations are made.
In addition, the window afso has a dual
purpose as an optional rough anim viewer.
Whenever an anim path is complete the
Flight profile
Although 4 separate interface, the
program’s Profile screen is really part
and parcel of Lhe anim options as it s
only really ol any use when a p.ith is
complete.
From this unbelievably boring
screen a lew essential changes can be
applied, the first of which is the rela
live altitude at each key frame, Often
the software doesn’t make me perfect
choice as far as altitude and indeed
pitch are concerned and as a result a
bit of minor editing does a great deal
to enhance lhe over ill effect
its here where the a lore mentioned
5 button really comes into its own.
Like both the map and main screen,
the animation controls are on hand
allowing you to scroll through (he
existing keys editing the pitch and
altitude as required.

software will generate a useful but admit-
tedly rather jerky preview prior to the
lengthy rendering process,
In order to enhance the performance of
the window, good camera control is essen-
tial, and to this end Lhe software boasts an
impressive array of orientation, zoom and
pitch controls.
For basic orientation the window again
comes into its own as pointing the camera
is simply a matter of clicking on the desired
point within the window.
Icon controls
Actual movement, however, can be a fit-
tie more involved. In the right-hand corner
ol the screen awaits the program’s co-ordi-
nate controls in the form of singular and
combined X,Y and Z icon controls,
These work exactly as you’d expect with
the various options either moving Lhe cam-
era back and forth, up and down, left to
right or a combination of two axes simulta-
neously.
In order to control the effect, a crosshair
box allows directional information to be
input via the mouse.
Although a usable method of naviga-
tion, I must admit it does tend to be a little
clumsy and ass a result basic camera place-
ment is often much easier elsewhere in the
package.
Alongside the aforementioned box
comes the final selection oF positioning con-
trols, As mentioned earlier,, camera move-
ment is well catered tor elsewhere but the
main screen is definitely the best place to
adjust banking.
Once active this particular function
replaces the crosshair with an artificial hori-
zon which can then be adjusted via mouse
dicks.
Finally we come to the
rotate and zoom options, the
first of which emulates mouse-
driven rotation within the
crosshair - why this has been
added In addition to the
mouse option is a mystery.
Zooming, however, is a
much more useful feature,
allowing the camera to
remain static while altering
the local length of the cam-
era, producing a telephoto
zoom which can vary from tfi
degrees for ultra-wide angle
to 400 for maximum zoom,
On the lows* left of the screen awaits the
program’s anim controls which well look
at in detail at tittle later, while above these
come the all-important Features which add
the reality to your creations.
First up Comes arguably the most impor-
tant of all the parameters Land control
From here you can add snow, rock, vegeta-
tion and soil, all of which can be given
default elevations.
In addition, it's possible to adpust the

overall height of the present landscape by
simply increasing or reducing the V I
factor.
This doesn't actual affect the D£M file
but does produce either an extruded or
compressed image when generated.
For the more advanced user there's also
an option to adjust the offset of landscapes
which are to be appended but don't origi-
nate from the Natural Graphics library ~
Vista Pro files are a prime sample.
Alas,, due to the constrictions of the
Amiga's standard palette only three of the
four ground features can be applied simul-
taneously within standard IFF output, while
the program's 24-bit alternatives can ail
display the full complement of four.
Turn up the lights
Next up come the Light settings, which
can be adjusted manually or via the mouse.
While not a perfect representation, the pre-
view mstantly reflects any changes by
updating the window with fresh shading
where appropriate.
Although a simple touch, it J s neverthe-
less very useful when trying to avoid con-
stant re -renders simply because the feel
isn't quite right,
The next duet add the water and sky
elements to the image with the first of the
two allowing the addition of a default sea
level, either with or without waves or ocean
parameters.
Alongside come the very impressive Sky
settings which allow cloud altitude, density
and blending to be defined but perhaps
most important of all, animation.
For example, an entire stop-frame style
anim could be produced by simply plonk-
ing the camera in a pleasant spot, defining
a number of frames and then animating
the clouds floating gently by.
Below these gadgets above await the
Hh matter Aan pnriJiurdf OPT Nl* -nulpuf Jj pre Uy EftlJffh to forflf
I cheap arid qufrJr fcoAdfl ) 1 f(wrt«f of art tail cuit I&kt
Fractal and Tree settings with the first
option allowing up to 65,000 seeds to
choose from when rendering a random
fractal landscape. This can then be offset in
any direction for appending Lo others.
Although a small requester, the Tree
option hides perhaps one of the most
impressive aspects of the package. User
definable settings allow you to specify
default levels for the top and bottom of the
tree -line, plus its relative density and make-
up - whether that be oaks r redwoods or
perhaps a mixture of the two.
Next up come the Screen controls
which let you alter the palette, resolution
and bi-tplanes. From this screen one of the
few irritating aspects of the program
appear in the form of the very limited num-
ber of screen modes - at least for standard
Amiga graphics - which means you're lim-
ited to full screen images only, and to make
matters worse there's no AGA...
Admittedly there are options for hi and
io-res, either with or without interlace and
overscan. Nevertheless for serious applica-
tions a totally user-definable seating system
Animation options
Although the program's anim controls are
shared between the mam and map
screens, the fatter of the two is definitely
the best place to experiment, especially
when dealing with looping anim 5 .
As you may have already noticed, the
software relies on a key-frame system to
generate its frames. Although a little
daunting at first, the process is really
quite simple.
First the required number of frames
are added and then with the assistance of
the mouse, various "keys’'' positions can
be deFined.
The software will the automatically
interpolate the flight path of the camera
using splines to produce a smooth anim
which can be further enhanced by a
definable degree of pitch during the
turns.
To give that fighter pilot feel the cam-
era can be set to point as if following the
nose of the imaginary plane, courtesy of
the Dtan and curve options.
Actually building a path is very simple.
thanks to the tape deck- style controls
which move you through the various
keys. When a new key is required the
camera is si-nnply placed at the new co-
ordinates and the + hutton clicked to add
or alternatively - to delete.
To add user defined changes, the £
button allows you to apply and save
manual chances to an existing key while
the G button will delete an entire unsuc-
cessful sequence.
A final and invaluable option allows
the automatic creation of looped anims
which smoothly join the first and last key
frames - something which is almost
impossible manually.
To avoid any errors on your part, the
program also often the option of auto-
matically avoiding collisions or alterna-
tively warn if one is imminent
For the real Tom Cruise types, a sepa-
rate low option automatically glues the
camera ten metres above the ground -
often a rather bumpy ride, but if you
have a need for speed it’s a must.,.
*
A fractal
fly-through
isn t exactly an
everyday event
would be a big improvement
It's not all bad news, especially For those
with quality image processing software
and/or a 24-bit display board. From here
the program's 24-bit buffer can be defined
to the resolution of your choice so literally
any size is possible.
In addition, DCTV users also have a boost
in the form of both three and four-bitpfane
rendering modes, both of which take on the
chosen Amiga semen resolution.
The next four icons all provide a selec bon
of on/off functions which include a view
button for re-displays, an anim button to
start multiple frame generation and finally
its alter ego, the essential render button for
statics.
Better quality
A detail button is the penultimate option
which when active adds additional poly-
gons - and m turn detail - to elements in
the foreground of the image.
Although the function does dramatically
increase rendering times, the improvement
iri image quality more than makes up for
the sacrifice.
After clicking on the final Map option,
the familiar main screen disappears to reveal
- not surprisingly - the program's map
screen which depicts the current landscape
via an topographical or overhead view.
From fie re you can oversee the entire
landscape with Lhe present camera position
shown by a pair of converging red lines. As
yau J d expect, the angle of convergence
provides a rough graphic guide to the pre-
sent focal lengdi/zoom of the camera.
Again the mouse comes into its own with
clicks on the left button hopping the cam-
era around the landscape while a right click
and drag reduces or increases lhe zoom fac-
tor or camera position depending upon
subsequent mouse movement.
Mouse control is pretty much a I you'll
ever need, although fine adjustment can be
added to all the positioning and zoom
param eters m anually when necessary.
To adSRttWiftouch of realism, the map
screen also offers the chance to add lakes
to landscape which spread across the seen?
according to laws of gravity - fortunately
you are given the option to cancel the lake
if you suddenly find yourself swamped.
As the grabs show, the output quality of
the program is on a par with anything
especially concerning cloud and tree gener-
ation. Another bonus is that the potential
of the program can be exploited without
any additional software something which
isn't strictly possible within YlstaPro2,
On the downside, the package isn't as
flexible as Vista concerning the importation
of bitmaps for the creation of designer fea-
tures and landscapes.
In addition, animation also falls a little
short in relation to Vista but admittedly this
is mostly due to the MakePath animation
add-on.
In short, lor the occasional user - and
let's face it, a fractal fly-through isn't
exactly an everyday event - Scenery
Animate* is pretty good, if perhaps a little
lacking in relation to the Vista/Makepatfi
combination,
For those purely interested in statics,
however, it's on. a par with anything
presently on the market - although before
investing it might be worth taking a
close look at our Vista Pro 3.0
exclusive...

W hat better way to while
away a few hours than
with an absorbing game,
and what better place to find your
games than in the public sector, where
you can try before you buy and get a lot
of stuff for nothing anyway?
Before we start, though, some good
news. If you remember last month's
review of Tell the Time from Deja Vu r
you'll recall that my only gripe with this
excellent education program was the
fact that its digital clock told the time in
a very non-standard way.
Luckily, the author has re-jigged the
program and now it tells the time as we
all do, so no more confusion lor young-
sters who could have got the wrong
impression from the previous program.
The new version is available now from
Deja Vu, and should you have the older
verston, send your dFsk to Mike Austin,
10 Birch grove, Pane Avenue, Caerphilly
CFB 3&G and he J ll update it tor you,
Remember to send him an SAE, though.

After last month's education-dominated
section, this time it's leisure ahoy as some
of the very best PD games kick off the
bargain pages of the magazine
ASI Games
disk 43
Waily PD
One of a pretty huge series of games from
this group, ASI 43 concentrates upon nan-
arcade games of the absorbing, puzzle
type.
First up is Octathello, which you've
probably worked out is a variation on the
classic Othello. But what a variation it
turns out to be! In Octathello, you can
choose a board of up to eight sides and
numerous sizes (although normal Othello
PUBLI
is also playable by selection of the right
parameters) so there are literally hundreds
of different boards available to play on.
The computer plays a pretty wicked
game, and there are constant online help
and rules available,, so you're never far
away from a helping hand.
It's impressively implemented, but a
two-player option and the chance to
select how well the computer plays would
be nice. Still there are details in eluded on
the disk as to how to get a full version for
a meagre fee r so complaints aren't justi-
fied here. It r s absorbing and fun, and
better than the PC Windows version, too,,.
Neat up is a computer interpretation □!
the casino classic Roulette, It's a full and
colourful version, and includes a "pot" of
money for the player, full gambling
control and a proper grid.
There is a red and black roulette wheel
in the top right-hand corner of the
display, which is where my only real disap-
pointment lies. If the programmers could
have animated the wheel properly, includ-
ing the ball whizzing around, it would
have made It far more exciting..
As it is, the panels of the wheel just

tunes which shine for
the originality of
their arrangements
and production rather than for stun-
ningly original sounds,
A lot of the stuff has a loose New
Order feel to It, and I here's no deny-
ing that on first listen these tunes
are very similar to a lot of other
stuff that's knocking around, but It s
the quality - especially On pieces like
the plaintive Moscow with its weird
effects, and the upfront Thh Must
Be Heaven - that separates this disk
from the crowd.
Certainly none of these tunes
would look out of place accompany-
ing any game, which must be the
ultimate compliment. An emphatic
We span the country with this
month's selection Of mulk disks,

Manchester to the beautiful South,

At first glance these five tunes seem

they're actually better than good -
they're brilliant,
A lot of care has been taken over
this, and it shows, The authors
advise connection of your Amiga to a

and some sensitive tweaking of the
bass and treble controls, and they're
not far wrong when they say that
It's hard to tell the difference
between Amiga bagpipes and: the
real things.
The quality of the tunes Is
furthered by the fact that they
authors have bothered to sample
and use the all-important grace
notes - tiny frills which individualise
playing and add greatly to the feel
of naturalness often lacking in com-
puter musk.
The tunes are also written by a
genuine piper, and

Basically, Crossmaze is one

You can initialise unique games, load

facility, which can start you off, show you

ability to time yourself, and you -e goE

The other games on the disk did not

are Gameboy Tetris, Leapfrog (previously

The magazine dties contain a few "nor-

reviews (watch it, lads!). However, on
selecting PD reviews you're faced with the

Stardated February 1 991, it soon becomes
clear that this is a disk magazine dedicated
to that much-maligned group of social
outcast, the Star Trek Fans, orlrekkies.
As well as an editorial section and some
bizarre adverts (fancy a tailor- made Star
Creenies
Deja Vu - i/126
Gimbkig a dark lower to wreak revenge
on a sorcerer as one is wort to do in this
type of game - you find that things start
to go terribly wrong.
First, he manages to take your weapon
from you as if it never really existed, and
then he turns you and your two fellow
players, Incredible Hulk-style, into big
green undesirables - Green ies!
As the sorcerer laughs, sounding suspi-
ciously like Ming's Friend from the End dF
Flash Gordon, you realise what lies ahead
of you. As one of three players an ogre,
a goblin and a troll - you have to enter a
huge and foreboding maze, only leaving
when the other two players are d^ad.
Each player has his good or bad points.
For instance, the ogre is by far the
stranger af the three, but he's also the
slowest and clumsiest.
Various attributes within the maze can
be used by various characters, and there
are grenades, mines, bombs and baseball
bats, all put there to help you to pop off
your maze mates.
Add speed,, healing and invisibility
potions and a toilet should you "soil your
loincloths" as the program puts it, and
you have the basics of a top quality, three-
player maze game.
Each player has a window of his/her
JvftryrJlJrkjT'.l gu-nfc' yrtrn
own, which shows the view from your
characters' eyes. All you have to do is seek
out the others before they find you and,
erm, kill them.
Full of humour, atmosphere and Fun,
thus is a great Amos game and one which
deserves to do well.

MBS
This game is up-front from the start. A
good, old-fashioned race around the track
it says, and that's what It is. Viewed from
above, and with the familiar small cars,
you have to race against another player or
the computer, in a clockwise direction,
around a track..
It's one of those games where pushing
the joystick up afways accelerates your car,
no matter which way you're facing, It's
the same principle as the control sets
which come with radio-controlled cars,
and is easy to get used to,
Nice touches include the ability to
enter your players' names, and a growly
sub-bass embedded in the music which
frankly disturbed me. Good stuff.
Writers'
Directory
Immediate 1 Arts
Compiled by Glaswegian writer James
Morrison, Lhis is a catalogue of small and
independent magazine and book publish-
ers. It is intended for writer, music jour-
nalists, illustrators, graphic artists and
photographers who are eager to find out-
lets for theif wock.
Among the hast of magazines and
book publishers covered I can guarantee
that you won't have heard of a lot of
them. All you do is select the category
you're interested in - ie Music - and up
pop a whole list of addressES and salient
information regarding each publication.
Sections include such things as comics,
poetry, films and videos, and there is also
useful information littered throughout,
Such as the warning to be wary of Vanity
publishers,, who are out to make a quick
buck from naive writers.
Also available In book form, this is a
highly useful and readable directory for
anyone with a creative bent and nowhere
to release theif penl-up artistic urges! >

Deja Vu-L/128
Opening with an atmospheric 51 simple
pklure of Tower HiN an a dark, thundery
night, this graphic adventure is simply but
colon rfu fly presented and packed with
atmosphere, B
Totally mouie-dfiverip the pictures are
good, if A little small, and the words add
enough without being too w-atfly.
There are all the usual puzzles and cam-
mands, people to meet, locations to
discover and the like, and even when the
game has to load a location from disk,
you're hardly kept waiting at all. The
atmosphere created was good! enough to
persuade me to grab a pen and paper and
get mapping!
At one point l started wondering
whether there might actually be a place
called Tower Hill, because the program
had started going on about the tact that I
was in Snowdonia National Park and that
the M0Q6 was Lwf sting away into the
distance!
Steals some of the romance for me r
that, but there you go. This one's
definitely worth checking out,

Particularly in demand at the
moment (and so more likely to
be reviewed) are music demos,
good games and original applies
lions, so if you've any of those
you wish to publicise, you know
where to Send 'em. Remember,
the world is I isle ring,..
Slideshows and demos dominate this month's "sit back
and watch" column. First is a highly colourful disk called
Comic Arts Vo I It from MBS. which contains several exam-
ples of the comic-oriented artwork of one Jason
Newington,
Starring Captain America, the Fantastic Four ("old but
tough') and that old perennial S pi derm an, these pic-
tures are all of an extremely high standard. Than os and
Spiderman Is my favourite, which shows old web fingers
In a right pickle, make no mistake!
It's all accompanied by a tune which stars from where
Technotronks Pump up the |um finished off, and is an
impressive disk.

Not as Impressive but definitely weird Is FI Girls, also
from NBS, This features cartoons showing a number of
varying ly- cl ad (but never Indecent) women at various
places around a race course, draped across Formula One
cars and their drivers and in all kinds of strange poses
and places.
Apart from a love of these girls and a penchant for
the sponsorship of Camel (the brand appears on cars,
backgrounds and clothing all the way through) | simply
can t see a reason for this bizarre disk s existence. Still,
why are any of us here?...

Ahem, Less of the half-baked philosophising and on to
Lethal Exit from Wack PD, This demo starts with an
unnerving oscilloscope-style heartbeat monitor before
moving on to some seriously mind-blowing, and quite
original In places, graphics^
There are not enough vectors to have you reaching for
the double Amigai and Control key, and although it Is
an old school-style demo, we are mercifully denied juve-
nile credits across the bottom of the screen all the way
through.
A good place to see some graphical effects which E can
guarantee you won't have set eyes on before.

Finally we have HMTV Home Security, a "humorous"
demo loosely based around how to ensure your home
doesn't get robbed. After the Hit Man TV logo (which
looks, no doubt deliberately, very similar to the DtTV
logo) the demo begins, accompanied by some lovely
Flamenco guitar musk which frankly is itl best part.
Still, If you like extremely elementary pictures of peo-
ple on wheelchairs being blown sky-high and spoof
Remington adverts where the razor does indeed shave as
dose as a blade (a very big blade...) then you'll like this.
"Better than nothing, but only just/ r the program
self- depreciatingly Jokes near the beginning. It Isn't
lying.
As always, if you think you can do better than this lot,
get those disks In the post- The sky Is the limit if you
open your mind,..

In ewe you're wondering what Tm gelling all het

comes towards the back of a review - the phonefocs,
the intonation, she dioc&idics, the sonarific reso-
nance (con I have my thesaurus bock now? - Ed).
At the outset, ond before eoch level there ore
several intro lunes whkh are by far and away the
best tunes I have ever heard in a computer gome, or

Brian Johnston, brother of HG proyammer and
designer Scofl, has done an obsdutefy luperh job of
setting the perfect mood with his fostmovfog bassy
synthesised music; canned your Amiga to the stereo
and onnoy the neig'-uourj - its great! So now you
Strww..
The game then. Well Hired Guns is an adjure
at the core, but nothing quite so common as jutf
that, tfs o first person perspective 3D adventure,
and very bndly eaten forip to four players.
Set in, 2707 when is watched by Big
Brother and work is carried out by robots, there
wish a band cf merenpries who specialise in bump-
ing people off,, taking on any job at the right price.
One such pb Is to blunder brainlessly into the
attract vely named town of Graveyard w*d rescue a
number of hostages who unwillingly became
masoned on their way to Budins in Skegpess
One, two, three or four p-oyers choose their
character! hom a cost ef 1 2 f all sporting different
attributes in lernis of stamina, fimess. brainpower
and the ab lily to juggle a forge variety of smoked
cheeses. This done iKs off into the wild blue yonder
- or rather, ddl brown landscape - in search of
hostages.
Ot course, it's no coincidence that Gmsfyard is
so nemd - s peaky beasts and skeletons stoik
around tooled up to the eyes with all manner of
weaponry, just begging to be blown away..
And if 5 here where he first disappointment
occurs, When a nasty - or a friend,, for that natter
- it shot, oil we see are a few red ‘mes sloshed
across the new corpse that resemble a naughty
child's homework more than a death scene,
The soiled effect! ore gnod though - Jlhough
rtan, fh eyre realistic, and odd a Ne depth to
bckluslre 3D graphics, The profcfem is Shot the
screen is divided up into four parts la accomodate
the lour players, making each individaS play ng
area very small.
Fair enough though - Hired Guns is a rarity in
that it caters for this many simultrr ^.15 players, but
is would hove hwn great if when in one or iwo-
player mode the size of the play area become
ledger
Instead, if only you enter the game P h is you
who takes charge d the lour characters. They can
be linked to follow each other, which makes control
easier, but I can's hute thinking this pari could have
been honied better.
dues to the whereabo^s of the hostages kf< be
found scattered throughout, a : ong with e^Sra
weapons, medical packs ond various ultra-modern
0*di.
H red guns can be spfe into two definitive sec-
tions; the campaign part - nearly two million cubic
metres of playing arm, where a clever strategy and
lots land lots and bts..„] of paiiam is required,
and the action part - 20 stand abne leuds that ccr
be treated as individual "quick ie fl adventure blasts.
It's evident (worn piaying tens that a hell of 0 let
of time and effort has been put into making it one
very forge gome. And indeed, it is forge - so large
in fact, that despite the individual levels, ultimately
the tiny ploy area, dork graphics and the large
gaps bpween action make it 0 product locking iv
any mass upper: I - a gome ihot will become o
chare bng before completion.

JONATHAN IflADDOOC
liouheirt in hit tpare lime likes In ran up
for na apparent reason
H ow many times have we, the
gomes buying public, seen
products arrive at the shops
with omoiirtg graphics and!
unbelievable sound, only to find that
they play like a damp squid? Yep,,
far toe many times far my liking.
Psygnosis are normally the culprits -
take Shadow of rhe Snast 1 and 1 as an
example.
Now Thallon, the company behind
such hits as A32Q Airbus, have produced
Lion heart, offering amazing graphics
and unbelievable sound - but does if
have the playability?
Destiny is a funny thing bn t it? Do ycu bcheve
in being in ihe right place at the nghl time? Well,
the hero of this platform hoct'envup mast definite-
ly bdiev ?5 in destiny. His name is Valdyn, other-
wiss know as lianhearf because of his reckless
cou^oge and fierceness..
FESTIVITIES
Vuldyn might be feave, but that didn't shoo h im
being put in prison for no reason whatever.
A few days poised and he was taken Iron 1 hit call
and presented to the King whp explains that the
Shewing 1 Festival is on in less 4ian three deys_
A! laid festive the King has to skew □ holy
jewel to his people to prove hit righi to rule. Of
course the jewel has been stolen, end the < ing
wants Valdyn to bring h back before the festival
start!. Why Voldyn? Destiny diat s why. The name
of the jewel is The Lionheorf,
Ytt r unfortunately it's yet another platform
gome, bvl you never know, it could Ik differs I. !
have to admil the greahres are truly e*celfent. Ypjr
hero is really well animated and drawn, ahhough
he doe* tana to bek like a cress between Lion-C
out of Thundarcals and He-Mon [and indeed,
Bifta himself. It's the hair - Ed).
The backgrounds ore superb and the pare? a*
really gives everything that look of quality - main-
ly hecoi'ie it is d ployed in intedrce, this looks
nealfy good on a monitor . bul c-oufel be 0 bit dif-
ferent on a television se\
in the tunes department there are a
whole batch of top high quality Amiga mimical
ditties, but there isn't much to report on
the sound effects front, although whcl there is k
adequate.
Now an ta the real y important bit, Payability,
I was quite surprised, because I thought it would
be exactly like Shadow af she Beast and suffer
really badly. However this is much man? playable
th<in P&ygnasis overrated effort.
Thera are a few mg-
gles, because the Ha r drown like the evil
controls don't respond
m well as they shouH.
Nevertheless
you can''! really fault the
playability.
Lion heart h fairly
addictive, but no great
challenge on the easy
level. There are two
more difficulty settings,
hut instead of your
enemies getling harder
la kill, the whale set
changes completely,
which is ii o really
good idea bacavse you
actually get two
games for the price
done
Lionheart ii a great
platform hack- em-up - one of the best af its type.
Tap mark! -go to the graphics and
music, and thankfully ihey managed lo
make it playable, In fact ihe only reasons
I mark it down is that for some reason ii
slows down in ports end then speeds up really
quickly.
Also if you take the graphics and sound away
you're left with a fairly bog standard platformer ■
and some gamers might not ue willing ta pay for
yet another one
Lionhearr is goad, bui if* not Gamer Gold
material. However, this might igm out to be a
dark horse and shoot right up to the lop of the
charts. Then again, we all know how rightly picky
seme of you are.
So r my verdict - LianhecH i$ worth it if you'^
load th i n ny that yew arc
A bug in the system
b no matrl for the
mighty Li on heart
Adventure and action all the way
in this swashbuckling slash-and-
hack-'em-up from thallon

hours are long, conditions poor,

It was into this cold and hostile world of just a
few Ir II an years ago that Mr and Mrs Chuc* and
Ophelia Rock brought Chuck Jr - the heir to his
'other' s n^wfy built car manufacturing fortune.
'tes then's right - the formerly gormless master
of the belly butt hos sharpened up his image since
the dosiog sequences of the original game, a r <d
new Finds himself as sde proprietor of the world's
second largest cur manufacturer.
Sounds good., and il is - but not for bog , as the
inevitable enemy |this time it's Brick Jogger, owner
of rival company Datslone) tak® it upor himself to
make the Rocks lives a misery by spiriting away
Chuck and holding hrm to ransom, lor his
company.
BRILLIANTLY ANIMATED
Tlunt'i always a way to scrvrnp apices tor
a resourceful young «vt b.^tpy
Allegedly ttw largest ever Amiga
sprit# - A real headache !
Chuck Rock 2
This. is where *he gome begins., and through a
brilliantly animated comic infra we see Chuck bun-
dled away and his faithful son listing intently as
Hie demands ore made to Ophelia over the phone.
Without further ado, the pint-sized caveaaby
breaks through the constraints of bis primitive
playpen, picks ua hit dad's best dub and sets off
an his, rescue mission.
Nothing you hove read up to now is likely to
have convinced you that San of Chuck is a radical-
ly different and innovative coficepl - and ifs not.
As far as platform games go, they don’i come with
□ much more traditional presentation than this; but
il is the underlying quality thrOughcM which sets it
apart bom other Goon fat hvot Great efforts such
a* Risky Woods, James Pond rjnd Core's own
Doodlebug.
Junior iso i a particularly large sprite - I mean,
he's a baby, offer all - but he's animated perfectly,
right down to the goofy toothless grin, and
tantrums when all his energy is gone. Three lus-
cious layers, of pafcJlax m silky s-nooth through-
out I'M? six main levefo; combine this with the stun-
ning colours and detail of the backgrounds and
you have a game that really begins to show off the
capabilities of he Amiga.
The first level is The Suburbs, and it’s everything
you'd expect hem the team who brought us Chuck
Rack, and more besides. It's broken down into
three sub levels, and features many of the items
SON OF CHUCK
Chuck and Ophelia do the wild thong and are
blessed with a beautiful, bouncing baby hoy
one might expect to find in a Stone Age lown
Also included is what Cora cfoim to be the largest
sprile ever seen on ihe Amiga - it's a huge
dinosaur, only she feet end lower Ieg 5 of which
are visible, and it has to be avowee os it stomps
across the screen.
All the fevfllf are set out in similar way to the
first - apart from level two which contains a sole
ntaidve slumbering dino whose back you must
make your way across in the face of an onslaught
of unfriendly neighbours and overgrown insects.
Humour is the main ingredient of the game,
and the expressions of many of yow chagrined
adversaries as they find themselves thumped or
barged nff-screen almost alone make il worth
Loot dtfl too far the small dinosaurs, who when
hit suddenly lose their disguises to reveal the
slightly dozed dressed up caveman inside
Whereas Chuck Snr u»d his excessive stomach ta
fight his way to he captorod Ophelia originally,
Junior relies an foe man-sized dub to rescue his
dad, which he drags doggedly behind him
Some of she characters within the gome pro
interactive, in that they will help you overcome cei"
tain obstacles Fur instance, a long row of spik®
■on the third level is seemingly msurmountabte until
you enlist the help of a friendly giant ant who
apparently doesn't imatf tcrfeiing a few sharp pokes
in foe batty
MIDI-GAMS5
T he colour, animation and fluidity of movement
on the level guarciems is equal to anything Team
17 could offer, and |ust in cose anyone should
become red up with the platform action premature-
ly, there ate four mini -gam® with in the levels to
provide Few extra chuckles
It's difficult to foult Son of Chuck in any specific
area since Core hove given us an ex cel font sequel
to o well iked gome. As for as platformers go if
hos e-rerything you could wish for and I for one
won'? be content until I've finished il legitimately,
Unfortunately this may be sooner rather than
laser, because despite the manic nature of the
game, those determined enough shouldn't find it
too much of o problem to guide Junior safely to the
Datstone car pail,
Hoviing said foot, there ore three difficulty set-
tings to choose from, and the humour, colour, cute 1
ne?s avd fen ■ net to mention the tunes, some of
which ore very reasonable - mean that Chuck
Junior is the worthy successor to his dod's title os
Kingof theCpvefiien.

There's no lei up from Merseyside os
Psygnosis take to the skies for a belated
bout of Saddam bashing
F rom Psygnosis, the people who
brought us Lemmings, Beast 3,
Sill's Tomato Gome and more
recently Walker and Prime
Mover, comes Combat Air Patrol, yet
further proof - if any were needed -
that few car match them for consistent
quality.
You might have thought it was p bit kite fa
bring out a simulation based on the- Gulf War,
but then again. we are tfill getting product relai 1
ing to the two World Won, so I guess it Isn't too
badly timed
In fad, Psyonosii ore cheekily lumping in
ahead of Electronic Ant, whose bdiconter-bosed
version of the war against Saddam is about to
moke ihe leap from console to Amigo. Bui more
about that next month
EXPULSION OF FORCES
Sc the Gulf Woj it h iKw - the primary objec
tive being tha expulsion of tragi fortes from within
the bound ories of Kuwait, The action begins
around Autumn 1990, shortly after Soddom and
his motley throng overran Kuwait but before
Desert Storm got under way. Of course. if you
achieve this objediue it doesn't have to stop there,
ond you can cany out as many retaliatory mea-
sures as you like.
It seems the programmers were unaware of
British involvement in the conl-licl, since you take
pant of an American stationed on the battleship
USS Theodore Eoosevdr. #
Combat Air Patrol happily follows the trend of
several recent flighl 51 ms in that it ir> easy right
hem the outset to jump into 0 plane and enjoy a
quick f ighl without consulting several dozen
pages-wofih gf manual beforehand. Thai's all
very well - o very good feokre indeed, to Fad -
but it is the tong term challenge of any game o»
tfib nature which eventually determ toes its success
- and here CAP doesn't disappoint
From the menu at ihe start you are led into the
briefing room - a nice picture of several burly
men gathered around a projection screen - to
soled a mission. The one you choose determines
whether you will be dying an FI4 Tomcat, or ITS
bigger but less tmpnessivefe named brother, the
r ll Hornet. This done, it's, off to the VideoDato
machine I he ]uri made that name up - Ed| to
choose which pilot you d like to be, making your
decision based an experience, temperament,
physical fitoess and any aversions to heights or jet
engines they may hove.
What then - gel that tend up in the air? Hell
no, we need weapons, and what bettor place to
gel some than the handy weapons select screen?
li isn' t pediops surprising that the Yanks began
to lake out British troops in the Gdf when y&u
take a look at these - every kind of armament any
intrepid pilot could even need, and br too many
to ewer run short
The Tomcat's ore limited to air-to-air mi-Hiles,
ranging from dose range cannon to lon*| range
rtossifes, while the hlomete con carry the dearly
accurate (it says here) AGM-62 Walleye air-to-
ground glide bombs
Wiih weapons attached! it's time to take to the
skies and kid some proverbial bottom. Getting
your plane airborne couldn't be easier - it's up
and away from the flighl deck at the touch of just
two buttons.
Even if this proves too difficult there is on
option to start your mission from a mid air posi-
tion above the target, though 0 sltcmge quid here
is that the engines slill need la be started, and ony

O Kj » you're stropped for cash
and you wont some really
good games* H r s far too
embarrassing to buy a bud-
get, so what on earth are you going to
do?
Well, onfl of the best ways al getting more br
your money is to buy a compilation^ which is risky
because you almost always get an awful game in
your throe-pack.
Mm™, well nul ihij time because &eou Jolty
hove deeded lo release o package called The
Greatest ord by golly they are all really greai fef a
change.
Lei's staid for safety' s rak in reverse alphabeti-
cal order. Pint up is lum el the Temptress. Lure is
an interactive adventure game with a difference,,
the difference being ‘Virtual theatre’. I can hear
you all now; 'What's virlud theatre then, Mr
Gamer chap?”
Well, in normal adventure gomes, the charac-
ters tend to appear once and then you’ll never see
them again. In lure eodh of them lead their own
lives.
For instance, if a chofactws soys: I'm going
d own to the tavern br a swift jar, * then ycw"ll find
that character there.
This makes Lure one of the most realistic adven-
tures t have e*er played Ifs aute little ideas like
•virtual theatre that separate good from average
gomes.
You play the pari af Demerit, o rather reluc-
tant hero who has to sewe his world from dribbling
and videos creatures known a? Skod and discover
who the Temptress k,
Another goad thing about Lure is thol yea slort
the game wi thoiit knowing exody what to e4o. So,
ch you progress you hnd out about what's
going on and what your task is.
The Graphics are excellent with some wonderful
backdrops. It's all is controlled via the epod old
mouse and is SO simple even TVry Christian would
be abb to play it. Err, then again maybe not.
if you're looking ier an adventure game to keep
E hj occuptfld for q couple of months then look no
rther than Lure of the Temptress
WHIRLWIND
Next gpme up for quest’onsng is Jimmy 'White's
Whirlwind Snooker Before Jimmy's I personally
thought that playing snooker m my computer
would be cm incredibly sad thing to do.
I mean you might as well go down the pub,
have a few beers and challenge your mates at
snooker rdher than si! at home and be lonely with
the mouse as your only friend.
Raw wrong can someone be! Jimmy White's
Whirlwind Snooker is the best snooker game br

By golly it's Beau Jolly and they've just brought
out a new game* It's called Lure of Jimmy White's Dune
or something and it's the greatest, err apparently
Lure of the Temptress - -in
and M. half and full of green litanJ
game
thtf you con almost be there, except you hew to
chalk up yewr mauie rafre p than your cue.
Ik's also the fastest smoothest snooker game
e^r, plus all the belli oel like proper snooker
ball s for a change-
If you're a snooker bn or even if you're not
then you limply must have Jimmy White's m your
games collection. It's a modern day dassic. Last
up is Dune - on adventure based on the book
and film d the some name which incidentally
starred Sting )ho ho).
Dune is guile a bit different from Lure of the
Temptreii which is a good thing because you
wouldn't warn ta put than logether in a oompib-
tion pack. Unbss of course il was called *Tfie
Greater - Three gomes which o'e very alike, bui
all have different names”!
Dune is a blazing hoi desert planet which is
populated by a tribal-race colled die Fremeri. Tta
plane! is ihc source of the mosl precious Jub-
ilance in the whole universe, a jpice ca'led
Melange.
Melange lets space navigators see into the
future, so that *«r can safely find other planets
Also it makes you live longer.
Dune features some af the best graphics I hove
ever seen and boosls quite o moivelkji sound-
track to boat - on entertaining adventure game.
OK, there are yowf thrw gomes and os you
can see ol af them are classics in their awn rights.
If you don't own any of them, I strongly suggest
you buy this corfipilahon. if you think aboul it,
ym/re getting each game for a tenner anyway,
it’s, a bargain, guv.

Another
couple of
golden oldies
to tiring a
lump to your
throats,
perused by
Paul
TURRICAN by
Rainbow Arts
There are any number of plarfonmers knock-
ing around as we al» know; and although
f ewer in number, shoot-'em-ups aren't exactly
a ranty ttther, One game that manages to
combine the best dements of both is Tumcan,
an ecms-old affair from the where are they
now?’ German company, Rainbow Arts.
There is some story’ about evil warlbcfcs, ref-
nbie nightmares and a general threat to
mankind, but ft all pales into insignificance
when the action begins and you proceed to
make your way through the \ 3 levels of vio
fantastic platform ery.
Looking for all the world like 3 metallic psy-
borg-type person (whkf i indeed you an?], you
nave an impressive choice of weapons with
which to dispense of your foes.
Mines, forcefieids, mufti-shot cannons and
a huge laser mean that even the saddest of
gamesplayers es ensured a least a few manures
o# mindless violence before one of the many
enemies turns you into dogmeaL
Contemporary games of Efts ifk offer poetty
much the same thing, but a feature that
stands out in Tumcan is the ease of use: an
weapons can be implemented using Just the
Fire button
ScnofJing throughout is top notch, and can-
kering it's nearing the ripe old age of four,
Turrican's asnumadon of the levels and sprites is
not to be sniffed at, A different tune accompa-
nies each level, and agam LheyYe not half
btfd.
There is barely a break, in the action all the
way through, and should you find it too hard
going, you can always fell back on the option
of turning yourself briefly into an indestruc-
tible gyroscope.
Add in power-ups aplenty and the odd
secret level and what you have is a trury fun
and addictive game that shows only the
slightest signs of to pensionable age-
%ma
What a strange thing to do - feature a
game in Blast from the Past when the
sequel is reviewed elsewhere in the mag.
No \i isn't - not really. You see, there
wiii be loads of you who prayed feat,
drank, breathed, slept...] this a couple of
years ago, but probably Just as many agam
who hove since entered the computer
game world and are wondering what afJ
the fuss Is about.
Since one idea |money aspect aside] of
a sequel is to provide further entertain-
ment for fans of the original, then what
better way to point 1 2 fans in the direction
of more fun than by featuring the classic
Lems? Makes sense, dunnit?
What's new then? Well nothing - I
mean, Jfs the original isn't it, hut that
doesn't mean there isn't still plenty o£ fun
to be had.
The Lemmings have just eignt skills in
this prequef - they can climb, jump, float
downwards using an umbrella, explode,
block, bui/d and dig across, diagonally or
down. Whereas in L2 the difficulty of the
revels varies from tribe to tribe, the skill level
here can be chosen, ranging from the
beginners-only Fun level to the tooth-rtch-
rng Mayhem, and the 99 levels are divided
equally into the four categories,
The chaotic music is here, as are the
hilarious sound effects and brilSarrt anima-
tion, as you would expect and more care-
ful thought needs to be put into many of
the more difficult levels due to the “lack" of
Lemmings' skflls,
The Tribes is undoubtedly a dassrer
product - the programmers have had h,jn
years to come up with new idea:
but those who discover Lemmings by first
playing the segue! and frnd themselves pin-
rng when all the levels have been com-
pleted would be well advised to check out
this oldie. Better still, get your hands on the
double pack with the data disk and all your
Lemfoneliness wrll vanish.
T he whole world has gone puzzle
mod. Humans, Lemmings,
Kru sty's, Sill Tomatoesi up lad-
ders, down mountains, across
piles of bricks and into traps. I thought
that just about every avenue of the
wildly papular pastime of manoeuvring
things around a monitor screen had not
only been driven down, but also

seeing os computers art ani of the fosteil growing
markets in the world wih billions af pounds spent
in the industry every year.
If you buy Sleepwalker, gv$r £4 will go b help
fund projects in Africa and the United Kingdom
If s iwt a big percentage of the £25 ode mg price,
but every little amount helps.
Normally Gamer is sent all software for Iree,
bui in our cast we were Wing rather guilty, so
out come the Gamer wallet and we decided to
buy it, just so we con say we did our bit.
In Sleepwalker you pfoy the port of Uolph the
dog and the idea behind the game is probably the
simplest since Space Invaders.
Going walkabout
Lee, your young master, has had been having
problems in the sleep department, While he J i
□deep he decides to go walkabout. Now, this isn't
tea bod - normally he just wo*:* around his room
for o bit and gets back into bed.

As if by chance Ralph has suddenly found him-
self with super-canine powers. Ralph can not only
run, jump and bridge gaps r but he con survive
being squashed, run over by irucks and even
roosted.
Ralph m ighi survive al' these dangers, bur Lee is
not quite 0* ind^hrutfible, The idea is no* to woke

Sleepwalker is my favourite game of 1 P93 so
fc cr ll combines bn liant graphics and sound with
cool playability and is very addictive.
Hey, it's also an original idea and original

Well
because

through and works as it should.
Sleepwalker is tint ana of those gomes you
con sil down and progress through leve-
level on your first go. me firsl thing you have la
do is gel used to controlling Ralph tnu dag. There
several different things he can do
and it's not just a cose of

like saying it, but I told you so. Belitvedl
all the hype, that's what you did. Taken
in and spot out* Well, da you want to
put wrongs to rights? Ail you have to do
is buy Body Blows and maybe HI for^

Str&f rfighter 2 was the number one gome over
Christmas and that! was oil down ho mass market 1

game was good or bed - Streehnghter 2 was des-

there are a lot of silly people aul there who don't
i&ten I could see it coming □ long time ngg. in fact
I said In ihe news pages when Gamer first heard
about SF2 that it would go to number one.
Back then I didn't know what the game was
going la be like, bu3 I had terrible feeling in the
bad of my mind that it wouldn't bo much good
Don't ge< rue wrong hero, I like StreefSghter 2. IVa
K it more times ihon I oan rem&nber on my
oAisr^i SNES Haw any Amigo gamer could
expect the Amigo version to be os gK>od as ihe
SNES version is beycad me |corefai! - Ed] OK, so
it had fairly goud graphics, but there's wasn't
much in the way of playability,
Toam 1 7 haven't released as many games as
U5 Gdd r bul they go for quality not quantity. So
far dipv've managed A ien Breed, a classic ggunlfel
runaround shoaKem-up, Project X, the Amiga's
best sere- ing shoot- 'em-up by far, gnd Assassin, a
realy amazing pfetfarm game which was knocked
by many. Now then's Body Blows which Team 1 7
promises will be the definitive beat- Wup on the
Amiga.
Also on the way is Super Frag, a cutesy humor-
ous platformer which could well be one of the
biggest games on the Armgg since Zbol. \H future
is looking bright for Team 37. While other compa-
nies eoniinve pumping out their bog standard
games, Team 17 *eep on producing top quality
arcade titles far the Amiga. This fat r*e smart and
anyone who disagrees can step outside right now.
Beal-’em-ips are not the eos tsl thing to write
about. When you’ve seen one you've seen them
Streetfighter 2? "Pah!" say Team !7 f
We could do a much belief beat- 'em- up
than that." The gloves are off...
all. til's rerther like hying to explain what a Ires' is.
WW do you mean a tree? Ifs a tree-nhing with

Ihe soma goes for o beat-’em-up, .A beat- 'em
up? It's a game where your appoints kick and
punch the trap out of each other until someone
wins. There isn't a lot mam you can say, really.
Well there probably is r bul I a enfy be waffling on
for no reason whatsoever,
Body Btows is incredibly fewi and smooth and
when I first sow it my jaw dropped open ond I d*cf

obd impression of a guppy. The gome has a fell
32 colour overscan drsdery and contains loads ol
sound and speech that if guaranteed to impress
anyone who piny? if. You couldn't really ask for
more in the playability department, but that's Team
t7 far you.
There are three different ways you can play
Blows, The first is one-player made fee people
no friends. In this mode you get a choice from
H Nik, La-Ray and Junior, the bur “herer dfeir
octeri. You tknsrt have to take your character ond:
do battle against ever tougher opponents in an
attempt to beat the evil Max and discover his terri-
ble secret. You wanl to know what his secret ii?
Well, Id's just say he likes women's doth®. Noh
only kidding I haven] got a due when his secrei is.
not hovbg got that fa* yef,
The two-player option is definitely far people
who hove o good buddy* You hove a choice of ten
fighters., and as w^l as the aforementioned fighters
you can now choose Kossak Mike, Maria, Dug,
YiHJ and Ninja. The light cem be set up to your
own options, so far instance you con change the
time limit, decide how many rounds you wanl and
fight character against character.
Another option is (he tournament and ir's only
far people with loads ond loads of Friends, This
mode allows four or eight human players to take
part in a massive Body Blow* knock-out tournament
to compete far the prize of the champion's bolt. This
will definitely cause actual fights if you don't gel ihe
you want,
In Streerfightev 2 there were quite a few moves,
but jwf as many as there ore m Body 6faws. tad 1
fighter con perfam 21 moves, '
so- important special moves, but these
which fighter you want to be.
You might hove five special moves if you play
the part of Dug, ibut you'll only get two if you
choose to be YihLf.

would soy lhat ifoe game would be incredibly bard
to control. Well, forget common seiise because
playing body Blow is so easy that even those who
don't know whgr computers ane could play it.
However, though it is easy to ploy. Body Blow
will take q fab amount of lime to master. Players
will ultimately gain a lot more satisfaction Irom the
gome if they can wort oui all a character’s naves,
allowing you to totally destroy any beginners who
came round la your house far q quid go, Ha ha
sneaky ^ but worth it all the sonu?. There you have
rt. :l'm nol going to tell you onv more about the
game because there isn't anything to tell. If* c

Mow there's something y*u Unn'l every daf!
it's fight night, h come on gi t ftghti^g
Opinions, even thwgh you knew wbzi t m going to
say.
Body Blows is the best Amigo beat- 'em’ up
sine? IK+, The game just oc&jk doii ard quality,
graphks are amazing, fa animation of ihe char
wten ii rooBy good and there is m passible way I
could Fault them. Will Sale you a couple of
seconds to play, hut a let longer to master
The caniTol method is fluid and very easy to use
t*>d it doesn't require gamers la use a combina-
tion of joystick moves to set oF the speed moves.
All you have to da U hold fa Fi e buhon down
and release. This a a very addictive game, espe-
cially in two-ployer mode because you just have to
beat your male's head to the fbor once more, Of
course you could always use the joystick instead.
Liles mast bool- Wups Body Blows i* much better
when you hove a few friends around end doesn r
have ihul iame air gf excitement when you're sot
down paying it on your awn.
I coo t fault Body Blows unless of course you're
not fond of violence, In whtdi cose you definitely
won't want it Body Blows has oyerything ihul you
would expect from Team I 7, Vau didn't listen
when I told you not to buy Shreerfighter 2, perhaps
you’ll listen when I tell you to buy Body Blows, ft

The ship is a fairly slam

concept, represents nothing particularly new, the
power-ups are well thought aul.
i here are seven upgrades., all introduced
proudly by a digitised voice proclaiming "trkmr

Once you ve collected a power-up, look out

“What - leaving ihe licensing malorkey?" I hear

Oh no. In fact nay, nay and hrice nay, as Dick
Emery or someone like that used !o say, because
they have m he* done just the apnosile.
Instead of purchasing the rights of expfoilalion
for o sing'e movie, they've taken a trip to

and walked away widi the gome rights to all of
Universal Studios’ monsters.

Frankenstein, and his bride, and the Wolfrncm* nnd
the Mummy and ihe Creature from the Black
Lagoon [you mean Ben? - Ed) AH six nave sold

nostalgic isometric adventure.

The aforementioned ghoul es have lor.g since

Ocean own more dodgy licences than a

formed every so often - the Rile of the Bfoodtfar.
What with the foneraS and el- ihough F Alex

Dimensiansville to perform ihe cerwwfiy. and the
monsters begin to enter our world through Von
Hebing 1 ’* costfe. Not only that, but by some myv
terious and unexplained circumstance, the
B'oadslar has been broken into six pieces which
are spread around the casNe. With grandpops
dead, it's uo to you as Alex ha find the six pieces
and return the monsters lo their limbo.
Considering the limitation* of this type of
game, the graphics ore very nice indeed. The
Alex sprite is large and chunky, and the back-
grounds, while not differing a great deal horn
each other, are colourful amrf reasonably well
detailed.
Each Universal monster commands his or her
(or own domain within ihe castle, and in each
domain you will find - or at least you should
unless you' re daft - one piece of the Bbcdstar
Find the oil -important hit cmd you are in a
good position to kick the beasly bad to where it
come from, A good position, but not a green one,
because each monster has to be confronted with a
particular item before ihey can fin ally be
vanquished,
"he obvious example is Dracula, who will only
be sJxbed by a crucifix. The Creature from the
Block Lagoon lakes a harpoon and Wolfman a
silver bullet and so on.
An isometric perspective prevails, a* you con
lei! from he screenshots, and the rooms d the
mansion scroll smoothly throughout

the monsters long enough to enable you to per-
form the ritual, HiK-re one pitfalls, ord booby traps

Ag you would expecl of o rich person, your

Therefore keys ploy on important role in the
game, not only for access to rooms where the

find treasure and mogic portions^ which provide
you with temporary powers of ESP and

Hidden platforms, huge remote spikes and a

ond ifs important to keep on your tees at all times

Due to ils size thowgh, there are occasions
when little or nothing happens for minutes at a
time, and tedium begins to creep m.
This type af gam* w® populor about five
years ago when Spectrums were still in demand,
and Universal Monsters will not be looked bock
upon as a gaming milestone.
In all fairness thowgh., the programmers have
worked ha-d at bringing the game up to date,
and have succeeded to a point., Universal
Monsters doesn't make my list of all-time favourite
gomes - in foot it doesn'l receive a rrominotion -
but its easy so gel into, easy to pfoy, and pro-
vide* a real challenge for anyone prepared to

The Ancient Art of War in the Skies
Consider the fife of the gome, and the fact tfiat iTs published by Microprose* arid a nol too
unreasonable assumption would be tfiat ibis is a Right sim. But it's not - at least, not strictly
sped ting,
A A W S is a sfralegy /action-type affair, with the emphasis placed firmly on the strategy
aspect^ arid has been doing very well thunk you in the PC market for a couple of
months now.
As the leader of a crack airforce, tbe objective is quite similar to mast flight $ims x in that
an enemy land must be entered, their factories destroyed, airfields captured and the lender
{arced to surrender,
Many Microprwe releases in the pest hove relied on this type of scenorio r but from this
paint on if s all a bit different as we concern ourselves with tbe actual planning behind each
campaign and sortie.
Over 40 campaigns - both fictional and historically correct (the red ones being taken
from WWF| - are built into the gome, with a campaign editor and numerous training mis-
sions, which seive to make A A W S more accessible than many other similar games.
The basic id™ is to decide how best to implement the goad of # bays at your disposal in
order to bring about the fall of the enemy, after first talcing a look at just how he is
positioned;
By targeting key areas of hostile territory such as power stations and bunkers, you are
guaranteed some action, and it is here where you can if you wish jump into the cockpit and
get involved in a dogfight.
The action is more of the arcade kind though, as you view the lights from a removed per*
spective. It's a reasonably small part of the game and a nice break. But A A W S is first and
foremost a strategy encounter - a large one - and it's looking goad.

ome time ago I was asked the following ques-
tion: If AEexx has an Lpperi 3 function 10 convert
siring to uppercase, how conic it doesrit have a
Loweit ) function to convert them to lowercase?
A good question - after all. since ARexx is used so
much for formatting and DOS interfacing, you'd think such
a function would Ixr absolutely essential..
Even a trivial task such as convening all the filenames in
a directory for neatness's sake would use it. and there are
many other more serious uses.
As a matter of fact, ARexx dues have a simple equivalent
to the Lowell) function, hui it is hidden. So well hidden, in
fact, that it is only obvious once you've had^ome experi-
ence with AResx, Now, concealed Features do not make
for happy programming, so let s sec bow it works.
The only thing you wilt need is a table of Ascii values,
and you can easily generate one using [he ARexx code
below lvalues less than 32 are control codes that do not
concern us for now). Type the program below, Lind save it
in RAH; as ASCI!_TABLE.rexx. You can ger a prinirntt by
typing rx >prt: R. W ASCn_ta b! e ai the kbell,

To convert to lowercase we will use ARexx s bitwise
operators, which we have encountered from time to time,
notably in the Nov. '92 issue.
I assume that you already know what bitwise operations
are, but even if you don’t, you can work it out from the
examples In a nutshell, bitwise operations convert strings
For some time there was a very noticeable absence in
the area nf ARexx support utilities there was no easy-
to-use graphic pmgrmmning utility that worked proper-
ly under Workbendi 2.0,
Thi'i was quite discouraging, especblb to all the new
Ai0!'i+ A6(J0 owners who would have liked to some
ARexx graphics programming.
Sure, there are some excellent tools available like
Rxgen. library and APIGJlhrary, but they required a fair
grasp of the \iruga O/S programming in general, and
Intuition In particular
The nice and simple libraries (like RxJmuLltbran
and RexxAiplJb.library), which made it easy for anyone
ro open windows and put graphics on the screen. !iad
strong disagreements w ith Workbench 2,0. They
worked fine with 1,3, but most 1.3 users don't have
ARexx.
However all that should now change! browsing
through CompuServe the other day I found the latest
(release 3.0) version of RexxArpljbJibraty, now fully
compatible with Work!>ench 2.0,
RexstArpOh.Kbiary is not the easiest library to use -
Kx^tnluLlibraiy holds that position - but a is still vm
easy T .
It will allow you to do most basic graphical opera
lions from ARexx; as well as use the system menus,
requesters, gadgets and so on. Wherever possible il will
use Workbench 2M features (eg the tile and font-
requesters), .md the public screens.
I ’haven't had time to test it fully vet. but all the new
features and Improvements look excellent, [i is interest-
ing in note that this software is developed under l>
Government funding at the Stanford Linear Accelerator

future.
of characters to their binary representation, and fterEonu
logical operations on diem in this form
The basic bitwise ope radons are the logical AND -
BITANQ( ), the logical OR - B1TORO and the logical
exclusive 0R (ie either/or) - R1TXORO. ARexx also offers
various other functions for setting and testing individual
Sues, which we will not look at this time.
Let s look lh an example. The Ascii value for the upper-
case character A is decimal 6>, or hex il, or binary'
OltKJOOOl. Similarly IS is 6u. C is 67, and so on. Lowercase a
Is 97, b l-. 9B, and so on. Consider the two strings a be and
CBA-
il = 'aiu 11 ; Cl 1DOOD1 01 1D0C10 flltQDDII
si = ‘CBr = OT0MOH 01D0001D 31000001
BITM PM, 5?) = QIDOBDai OtODOOlO D10DMR1 \t m
BiT 0 R(ri,i 2 ) ^ OIIDMli DltOODIO tllCMH it ihc
= mmm ooioopoo oqimio i.a/ h
Notice tlus^ the difference between tile uppercase and lower-
Cijse value of the characters is 32, ie hex 20, or binary
00100000. Ibis means that uppercase and i owe reuse diflcF by
only one hit. and if we set this bit in an uppercase character
we will convert ic to lowercu.se! You probably iilscj noticed
that the Ascii character for hex 20 is the blank spu e.
To set any bits in a character we must BiTORl) the
atier with rhe bits we want set. Try this;
j
rs 'say BITfll( J aB G V ') I* i^r seatts *;
the above is equivalent ro:
011OD0D1 DtflDOQlO DO1DCDO0 OlCDOlPO
OR 00103000 OD1DOCDQ OStODDOD QDTDDDQD
fllicni OtlDDDlO 0 D 1 QD 0 QO OllOOlOO
Ah you can space and lowert ascr cluraciers are unaf-
fected by the OR operation, while uppercase* get convert-
ed.
We can in fact simplify the process even more. The
general format for the bitwise functions in
HITFYNG string l.stringi.pad 3. Hie shorter string is padded
with the optional argument "pad*. If we specify a zero
length "string2", and a fiad of is space, then w r e do not have
to know the length of “.si ring T beforehand:
%
rx "sjy enORCCcmrt aLL tHUV',' ')
And this can be made even simpler - "sfringT and "pud"
are optional arguments. If they are not specified they
default in the value of a blank space. In our case thus is
extremely convenient, as Vic can dispense with All the
optional parameters.
rx H say Bl fORCCtAATn aLL tHaS 1 >
Yes. to Loweri string) all you have to do is Put ori string)!
That’s alt there is to it. I trust the explanation makes it a bit
less of a mystery than it was &i die outset.
Interestingly enough, it is not possible to use a similar
technique to convert lowercase to upper. The function
B ITANIK strin g ' D K~x) will convert the charatieix. Imt will lose
the blanks, This is due to the structure of the Ascii table.
\ will leave it as an exercise for you to why this is so, Hmt:
'DFx is the bitwise inverse of r 2ffx ) ie T1011 1, 1 lb. The binary
inverse nf j ny character is obtained by XGRing with a mask that
has all the bits set. eg:

ARexx makes extensive use of uppercase, and therefore has built-
in supfvjrt for uppercase conversion.

Over the next few issues we jre # 'ing to lie looking
at interfacing with ARexx Before We even start, let
me say that this can mean a whole tot ot different
things - we will be looking at some of the main ones.
Perhaps the only common ground between them is
that they involve more than me prenress, that is they
link more than one task or program together. Here Is
a brief summary of the subjects involv ed:

ARexx Interface that you would like to see reviewed,
nr any ARexx software related subject, fed free to

if. Hardware
1 still Find prevalent the miser .inception that ARexx is-
a special language for controlling hardware attached
eo the Amiga. There is no such tiling of course - any
language that can write to memory locations or regis-
ters can control hardware.
ARexx gor this repuialton because it is used as the
control language by a lot of video-related equipment,
and for a large class of users the Amiga is synony-
mous with video.
However the reason ARexx was chosen was the
superb way it fits in with the system multitasking.
The level of control provided is so good it is almost
silly. Can you imagine controlling your video camera
from within your wordprocessor?
Essentially, any device that can lie booked 10 the
Amiga's [Mnls can be controlled by an ARexx script,
Tiie serial port is most likely to he used in communi-
cations-related work, whereas the parallel port is
more likely to be used lor remote control devices
such as door-openers, warning systems, robots and
the like 1 he beauty of ARexx is that each port signal
can have its own sc ript if need fx\ and can easily be
added or removed from the system. A central script
can then co-ordinate the whole operation.
This is a significant advantage over a non-multi-
tasking system,, where the complete control program
would have to he altered to .accommodate any
changes.
Furthermore* all this cars be happening in rhe back-
ground while you continue with your regular use of
rhe machine. 1 hope to lx.* looking at some interest-
ing ARexx -hardware projects soon.
Finally, if Is interesting to not^iiiat all the good
communication programs and terminals have exten-
sive ARexx support ARexx will allow you to set up
you i machine to respond to any event, such as a
phone link, so that you can operate it remotely. I
have seen more than one BBS system written in
ARexx, even if they were Fairly basic.
With clever use of an ARexx -compatible terminal
i such as VLT or VTKIQ) you can even run more than
one computer from your keyboard, each one w ith its
own CL1 window,
And they do not even have to be Amiga* - any
machines tan be linked like this, with an ARexx
script controlling their communications.

s regular readers of Insight may remember, RocTecs
latest creation lus already made its debut within the
glassy folds of AC However, due in the limbed space
available in the average Insight column only the basics of setting-
up and the additional hardware vital for effective use have made it
into print.
Before we ] no yc onto the imagery axailablc, a quick recap of
the necessary kit might be wise. Firstly, a standalone composite
genlock is essential and although RncTec recommend their own
unit almost any genlock ^ ill do the jnb,
In addition, the genlock lighting is equally important and in
order to get anything approaching decent results a plentiful sup-
ply of lights including at least one back light plus an additional
tw in array of frontal floods is a sensible setu p.
Apart from the obvious addition of a camcorder and a selection
of suitable cabling, that’s about ft on the kit front. Like most video-
graphic hardware, RocKey doesn't need any specific software to
Operate so lifter connecting up the only filing left is to boot-up
with your favourite paint package and start experimenting.
Although a basic weatherman effect is likely to be your primary
reason for investing in a chroma-keye, it must be stressed that
there's a Jot more to RocKey than this one effect. As you am see
from file selection of images, a little imagination can produce a
bucketful of special effects.
Sol surprisingly I've opened the Pandora's box of RocKey FXs
with our old favourite, the weathemnan chroma key (Example 1)
Although I airly impressive as a static, the effect is enhanced ten-
fold by a little animation, which in this particular case placed
yours Emily on a pulsating fractal backdrop.
As you may have already' spotted, a dose inspection reveals the
image isn t exactly perfect due 10 the fairly prominent blue key-
line on file left of lhe image Even with lhe best possible set-up
tills edging effect is very difficult to eradicate completely.
This alone is perhaps file best indication as to Ret Key's place
in the market.
For the professional broadcast user such a fault simply couldn't
be tolerated and as a result RocKey abs fells firmly into the semi-
pro bracket.
The next image (Example ID, allhough perhaps not an every-
day option, still tends itself to suitably wacky applications very
well -again particularly impressive when animated. Although rad-
ically different to the weatherman, in fact fixe [nmsidon between
fixe two is a simple cute.
All that’s really happened i- a basic inversion, with file fore-
ground of the Amiga signal replacing the foreground of lhe keyed
video signal. Simple Nit effective.
Next up (Example HI) comes a much more complex combina-
tion of signals which build to ti urn one variant of RocKey s range
of sandwich effects. OK. here* "lie in-a-nutshdl explanation of
wl tit's happening, As you can see. the foreground video lias once
again been eradicated by the foreground
Amiga graphics. However colour zero of the
graphics has been placed as the first image
layer, thus providing a window for the
graphics that have teen key inverted on the
foreground video while the background key
signal itself remains dear.
The overall effect is a keyed silhouette
w hich picks up on foreground Amiga graph-
ics while apparently sliding between a sand-
wich of the key itself and colour zero. OK, I
know that sound uemfusing but it’s very easy
to achieve in practice - htmest!
As you've probably guessed, the next
image (Example IV") is yet another sandwich
! nil in this case the foreground video is back
as a weatherman wbfle colour zero remains
as before. However the foreground Amiga
graphics haw taken on file third background
Layer which in effect produces file familiar
mradxerman but this time through definable
RocKey
revisited
window* Finally we arrive at my personal favourite which pro-
vides a perfect example ot what a little expenmeniatirjn and role
bending can produce. In this example inaccurate keying actually
enhances the image.
Although essentially a bog standard overlay that could be treat-
ed on am genlock via a W50 mix of the Amiga and video sj^-
nuk Example has been enhanced by RocKey partially chroma
kev ing the E jregn. sand video signal which provides file effect oF
shadowing.
In my opinion this particular image ls a classic ca)plc of
what RocKey is all about. Although the unit
does have m limitations, its pure flexibility
still makes it a viable investment tor the well-
off enfiius^sL'seimi-prot^iotial.

OWING TO PROPOSED LECI ELATION PHI<E$ MAT INCREASE WITHOUT NOTICE
PROGRAMMING
liLyl" (niuiiiufi wirsduws coa^rimuiikrace with incoming
input events via two separate message ports - a
WindowFort tor window events (is demons tinted last
month) unri a UserFoit for IDCMP events.
Each IDCMP Hag in the New Window data structure repre-
sents an event dial a program could hr informed about, by a
message which includes the ev ent's class and code.
The main feature of an Intuition program is usually a polling
loop, which waits for an event to occur and interprets the asso-
ciated message.
The demonstration program looks at four event classes - the
cltHing of die window, the pressing of a key, the pressing of a
mouse laitinn, and the passage of Time.
The main polling loop of the demonstration program
processes each signal in the UserFort; if a message has not
been received, a background activity can take place. If a mes-
sage has been received, tile program must store the message
class, and its code, in its uwn variables.
The program can then reply to the messag-.. 1 . and release the
memory for the nexl Incoming message. Each class of event can
trigger a different activity. The % INDOWCLOSE event class trig-
gers the setting of a flag to inform the program to break nut of
Intuitive
RAWKEY event will have key code Ox-lS,
Other KAftU'V events result in a line of
text in the background window;
Intuition has its own interval timer. An
INTUITICKS event occurs about three
times a second - counting these events
loii Id measure the passage of time
between other activities.
Competition
There must be many readers who can
write a better screen saver program than
the one featured below, the program-
ming page is running a competition to
find die best screen saver written by an
AC reader.
The winning program must lx. j economi-
communication
the polling loop and continue with the rest of the processing.
The MOUSEBLTTON5 event class occurs when a mouse but-
ton is pressed. The demonstration program just registers the
event, displays some text in the DOS window and continues
prcK'esstng.
Keyboard events occur w hen a key is pressed; there are two
classes. VAN1LLAKKY and RAWKEY. For a VAN1LLAKEY event,
the code returned in the message IS the Ascii value of [lie key
dial has been pressed For a RAWKEY event die internal key
code would be given.
The program tan detect when the Escape key is pressed, the
l;'j! will i disk space, so dial it car lx: published on ihe CoverfMsk.
The screen saver should be a short standalone executable pro-
gram, written in any computer language for the Amiga,
The winning program will be jnduded on the next available
Coverfhsk, and the author's name will l>e published in the mag-
azine. Ait author who sends in the most tasteful, or the most
original, or the most irritating, screen saver will also Ik- “men-
tioned in dispatches 11 .
Please send entries, on disk, to me via Amiga Computing by
May 31 1993, and watch nut for results at later date. If you want
me to return your disks, Indude a stamped addressed envelope.
Margaret Stanger
takes a look at
Intuition window
events for new C
programmers, and
presents a screen
saver program
Save our screens!
When the same bright, non-moving image is
regularly displayed for any length of lime
(months or years), it could damage the moni-
tor screen to some extent.
Screen saver programs have been created
to give the screen a rest from displaying Ihe
current window contents, il the window has
no input events for any length of time.
The demonstration program uses some
commands from the Amiga Graphics library
to change the screen background colour, plot
a few stars, and clear the screen.
The WniePixelO command plots a point in
the foreground colour at ihe chosen position
in the window's RastPort, the SetHastfl com-
mand fills the whole window with the given
logical colour,
The address of the RastPort can be
obtained irom the Window structure. The
command SetRG04() will change a logical
colour in the screen's ViewPort to new red,
green and blue values, The ViewPort address
can be obtained from the Scren structure or
from Ihe ViewPortAddressQ command,
To make sure that Ihe program does nol
always plot the stars in the same place, and
wear out the same bit of screen, the star posi-
tions must be random.
Fortunately the C library has a pseudo-ran-
dom number generator that produces ran-
dom-«sh numbers.
The C library routine randQ returns pseu-
do-random numbers in a range between zero
and the maximum long integer value. The
routine does some arithmetic on the last num-
ber it generated, and returns a new number lo
the calling program.
The new number is Ihe basis or seed when
the routine is next called. When rand() is
called for the first time, the seed has the
value 1. To avoid Ihe same sequence ot ran-
dom numbers each time the program is run,
tie C srandi) command can be used lo seed
the random number. The input to srand() is
quite often the number of seconds or micro
seconds from Ihe system qtock.
When ihe main window is ignored, the
screen slides down, revealing the previous
window. A borderless window wilh a black
background is opened, and slides up into
place. Random stars are plotted on the
screen - after a short time Ihe screen is
cleared and the foreground colour changes
for the next batch of stars.
A new star is plotted for each 3NTUIT1CK
even!, but they could have been produced as
a background activity, II a key or mouse
button is pressed, the second window is
instantly closed , and the main program
continues

andom numbers can be very useful things to harness
if your games are a hit more than shooL-’em-ups
What if you're an adventure game huff, and you
need to create worlds and people which even you don'i know
about?
The trouble with writing games is that you get very little
pleasure yourself from playing them, unless the experience can
be randomised in some way, so that you enpny it as much as
tht next man. "
If a game like F.lite. for example, was the same each time it
wax played, the writers of the game would lie able to play and
finish it pretty much in an hour or tw o. As it is (he L'in imi-
stances change each rime the game is run, so anyone can play
and have the same chance of winning.
Similarly, tn any kind of simulation game, unless there is a
random element, you won't have any kind of chance in the
game, and the product ol such a venture would be a very bor-
ing simulation which ran along similar lines every time it was
played.
So this month let’s look at ways of making the initial circum-
stances of your simulation and role-playing games as different
as possible.
The standard random number generator in Amos is the
ENDOO statement. ThLs means dial a number, usually an inte-
gen is created within she range or between 0 and X. Random
number sequences are seeded at the start by using:
hrsdaiiie Tiier
which feeds the randomised numbers with a seed value equal
to the value Of the system variable TIMER. Timer clocks the
elapsed time that the computer has been on, and so you can
reset it with:
AMOS
Ascii code of the letter „
This program shows you all the Ascii
codes from 0 to 255:
For A-C Id 255
Print ChrHJtlj*
Wait I
Hnt A
Obviously feed the CHRS command with
a random number and you’re into it Hue
the letters don't start until CHR$(65),
which is capital "A", Easy, just add 65 to
she random number within the CHR
brackets, and you're away.
Live
T 1 1 r =Q
and then anything after that ( if divided by SO) can lie timed in
seconds, deeding random numbers with Timer ensures that
each time the random number is created it is different.
Otherwise your random numbers ^tand li chance of I icing non-
random.
Random numl>ers are needed in a whole load of game types
from card games to full-blown graphic adventures. You use the
standard formal, bur obviously you have to be creative and
adapt the amount or range of numbers to suit the
circumstances.
Probability comes into it a lot and in a dice game for exam-
ple you can make it just totally random, but pairs of dice are
weighted (in a probability sense) towards producing seven, so
you have to simulate that loo if you want a true simulation. So
■ *
die origin;] I idea is something like this:
1 Os
' 3=!rrt(?2 J
Inc A
Ppirtit
Loflp
but in this there is an equal chance of getting a seven as get-
ting, say, 12 or one. To trim out the chances of getting numbers
which are too high or low you can add a hit of weighting to it
like this;
D«
D*ind( 5 )UtatfSH
Int K
Print
LOflp
which cluster* the numbers produced li round the seven. Roll
playing games which use dice can be easily converted to Amos
using (his technique.
Random numbers are one thing, hut what about random
letters? One of the quickest and dirtiest ways of cranking
out random text is using the CHR$(x) where x - the
Try rills for size:

To get all lower case letters, you simply have to change the
numlTer 65 to 97 - the Ascii code for lower ease V.
You can combine this knowledge into the following silly,
but sometimes funny, program which randomly creates charac-
ter name- tor sci-fi role playing games:

Phil South proves
that not only can
you create
random numbers,
hut also people
and planets for
your games
There's much more to random numbers than just pure ran-
domness, and with a little thought you can simulate any natu-
rally occurring phenomenon. Adding a litiie bit of fractal maths
here and you !uve the option of adding graphics to these ran-
dom events and allow you to produce some startling graphic
effects, which I'll he going into a bit more next month.

he release of PageSertier3 has opened up the world
of forth colour and mono professional desktop pub-
lishing to the Amiga user on a tight budget
Pageffelter II, For its age and for the price, wj- j pretty giw nl
mono DTP package, but this new version has seen many
advances, not all of them as obvious js tin- abilm u* i ; s*r
colour,
Tills month I'm going to discuss some of the may* changes
lo rhe program that might he causing both new users and
upgrades some sleepless nights.
Lets get fbe hidden change imi of tire ■way hr-' - the wa\
Pag.eSetc.sfr5 handles Compugniphk: typefaces.
For each Compugniphic typeface, PageSetter 11 req irvd
three files to (>e present In the CGFonts: logical dev .« * r n
the CGFonts floppy disk - typeface, lib, type face .metric and
typeface, ate.
The program recognised what typefaces were available ^im-
ply by reading the contents of CGFonts: upon kiadmg.
PageSetter3 no longer requires die typdhcc.aic file, hut n> w
needs a rypefao&dart tile. It recognises what type feces aitr i\ .1
able by means of 3 file called if.fnt, which, in effect, is a list nf
available typefaces. The old CG Cache: device is no longer
needed, and neither is Ibe CGT file,
With PageSetter II you added a typeface to the system sampK
by copying the three required fifes into CGFonts: - Page Setter ; 1
requires two of those files to be present tall except the .ju
file), plus a .dal hie, and the if.fnt file lias to be updated each
lime a typeface is added
Tlie program that maintains the if.fnt file is called CGJJpdne
and \s on Disk 2. When you run this prog-ram, it reaefc the con-
tents of CGFonts: - which could he an assigned directory or
simply a disk of that name - and then updates the If.fnt file 10
reflect the typstaces n Fouivd in CGFonts:. The if.fnt. file gets
saved to CGFonts:, in w ith the typefaces.
So ex- PageSetter LJ users will need to delete from their
CGFonts disks for CGFonts device) the CGT fife* any CGCache
directories, all the *? jic files , and then run OGjJpdaie once
for every CGFonts d isk yi w hn e
Files needed
If you don’t have .dat Bie% 1 r y or typefaces, you won't lx:
able to use them; these shimM have o atte with the typefaces
when you bought them.
There arc several other ttk-s rh.lt need to be on each
CGFonts floppy - the #?.chaniiia fib;- (used for Post Script print-
ing) and the if.ss file that you'll find on D14; 3 in the CGFonts
drawer
FageSerter3 also maintain^ a lilt in the S directory called
fondjst.ps that lh an Ascii list of available typefaces so ihat it
doesn't have to keep reading the 1 < if mu- directory every time
it bis to put up the Typeface requester, if this fife isn't iIkmv.
the Typefaop requester will lx crrifHv
Despite the impression given by Lhc FloppyJ>rive_SciUp
program on Disk 1, using the ‘Update your current CGFonts
disk" option isn't guod enough 10 get your old PageSetter 0
CGFonts disks wtuking with FagcScaer3 - all it does is copy an
updated if.ss file [a CGFonts:, 11 doesn't create Lhc necessary
if.fnt file; 10 do this you need to run CGjp&ire
The Lf.ss file K in case you were wondering, is a kind of char-
acter look-up table rhal tells PageSctterJ the characters that are
available in standard Com pu graphic typefaers
Apart from colour, the other new p^fvious additions are the
Article Editor (AE) and the Graphics EdknriGrl 1
When using the hotlinks from Pa gc Se n e rj to these separate
programs, tlie editors arr muluusked fegeSenerJ is siill mm
ning. So if you haven’t got much memory, chances are the
Easier fonts
The FnmManager program pruvaJcd. which converts
PostScript Type l Typefaces to Ompugraphit format, automat-
ically updates t he if Jnf file after every conversion^ so there’s
no need to run CG_1 pda re a her using FdrttMamgvr.

hot! Inks won’t work or the machine will
suddenly crash.
PageSeiterJ alone requires 1.5Mb of
RAM, and I've found that 2Mb is not
enough to successfully multitask with GrE.
With 2 Mb (he hot! Ink to AE jim about
works,, but to use both hotJinks comfort
-Lbty 3Mb is a more sensible minimum,
A feature of GrE is that it was designed
to he used with screen-steud graphics, .so
1 1 your picture is. wider or higher than a
standard .Amiga screen size fa tall scanned
image for example), GrF may import it
* h 11 s he won't he able to get at any areas off to the right or
below she bottom of the display, and when you send it back
("- I 3 agebetter3 these areas may well he corrupted, So its
be^r 1 1 ■ uh j GrE only for simple screen-sized tor smaller)
graphics
AE has a spelling checker that can only be used if you have
enough memory into which it can copy its dictionary, Again, if
memory 2 - tight ^pell-checking in AE may fail and/or the
machine may crash.
Even the apparently simple job of transferring text from
PageSetter3 to AE and kick again requires memoty, so IFs theo-
retically pn^bfe to ^-nd some text to AE t add tons more text,
and then nut Ik- a tile to send it back to FageSeitetf.
■■■'v hinge not ai PageSetter3 or AE - if more memory is

F like me your CDTV softwartr cditxihm gnaw* every
month, yoLE'll have quite j pile of discs now, As the aver
age price of CEfrV dries starts at mound £19- 4 J9, you'll have
a fdiHy expensive pile?
Comrary to popular belief however, CDs, laser discs Lind
CDTV discs are not invulnerable. Early reports on CD techoolu^
stated [hat CDs were almost bullet-proof, capable of sustaining
drops, scratches and lcj stains.
E even reraem xT nne article saying discs could he broken and
glued (sick together! Now we know of onurse that this wasn't
Strictly true.
CPs can be easily damaged and your once proud CDTV soft-
ware collection can easily become nothing more than a pile of
replacement beer mats.
As the saying goes however, every cloud has a silver lining. ]n
this ease, it i.s that Cf>s are more resilient than most other foetus
rtf storage media. You need have no fears about touching the
surface of discs or handling them.
So what cail you do w Llll [hem, and IS there any way to recov-
er your faulty discs? Well to start with,, treat them with respect
Don't love idem lying amund outsit. Ee thetr casing or caddy,
don’t clean them with anything corrosive. You should also watch
MULTIMEDIA
out for touching them when wearing jew-
ellery, such as rings, that might catch them
[f you do appear lu lx- having problems,
all is nut lost. A quick clean often yields
marvellous results, with previously mmi pi-
ed data returning to normal and audio
soundtracks that jumped and repeated play-
ing as normal.
Never, ever, move the cleaner tn a circu-
lar fashion amund the disk. Unlike vinyl
IPs. you should move across the surface
from ibe centre to the outside or vice versa.
But wh.il can you do to repair your discs?
Most CDTV instruction manuals make IMe 1
if any reference. 10 inaimairimg your discs.
And none of them, at least none dial I've
come across anyway, give any solutions to
re'itiJytng poreniuil problems. Strange effects
Looking
Where the grass is green
Firstly, and of particular interest to a great many people,
the AVM card, which could do lor the CDTV what bungee
lumping does for And rex toilet rolls.
For those who don't know, the AVM card takes the stan-
dard CDTV colour palette and knocks it for six. Straight over
the fence m fact, to where ihe grass is greener.
Much much greener, because with an AVM card fitted
you’ve got several million colours to play with instead the
usual 4.095; you can now see the grass in God knows how
many shades! Basically the AVM card increases the avail-
able colour palette and the number of colours that the
CDTV can display at once.
Even bolter, it can do this noi just with still pictures but
also CDXL Irames, Although full motion colour feature films
are still a way off, Ihe AVM card takes the CDTV one giant
step in tie right direction.
What’s even better is that Commodore are actually work-
ing to promote this product. One small step for CDTV, one
giant step for Commodore?
Another product bobbing around on the horizon is a new
SCSI interface. With the aid of this produel you'll be able to
plug in hard drives to the CDTV and have a high capacity
writes ble storage medium.
While this has lew obvious benefits to most users, with
the aid of the "multi media' CDTV kit (a keyboard/mouse) it
makes the CDTV an interesting potential developer system.
Through the well shaken hands of a distributor this prod-
uct should make it to a lot of developers. The result will,
hopefully, be a tot more CDTV software?
in a program, faulty disks and corrupted graphics are all symptoms
of din, scratches, marks, scuff* or possibly manufacturer failing*.
Such glitdttrs on [Ik: surface of (he disc cause die laser to miss-
track. Tills in lum results in the wrung data being read. For normal
audio CDs it was Ixid enough with tracks repeating, skipping and
jumping.
Strangely, scratches that run across lie from centre to rim) The
disc can often go undetected and have no effect on the data. Marks
more likely to cause problems are scratches around disc or those

centrate die laser beam.
Many problems can be cured .simply by Liking a damp clolb
with a smudge of washing up liquid and wiping the disc. Ibis w ill

smears that previously caused the laser to 4; ip.
For more serious problems, such ax foreign substances stuck to
the surface. Like a weak but abrasive cleaner and apply in small

Increasingly developers are jumping on tSe back of COTV and
Amiga CD ROM bandwagon. While writing this column I heard
of no less than five CDTV hardware releases. All were slated
for release “soon" - more Information on some of ihese later,
Meanwhile, multi media and CDTV software announcements
continue. More games and authoring titles appear almost
weekly.
Philips CD-I is progressing, but not as quickly as CDTV. Will
1993 be the year when the Amiga CO- ROM formal and CDTV
take off? The answer lies here and in 4Cs news pages over
the coming months.

undrew of thousands of Amiga users through-
out Britain am in the position of having bought a
machine Iron a mail order house and most of their
software either from the same source or from one of the
many software supermarkets in our larger town centres.
They might never have wandered into one of the focal
dealerships which were the backbone of the early com-
puter boom, and would therefore have missed the plea-
sure of shopping in these havens of friendly personal!
service.
We refer to them as high street dealers, but in reality
they are almost always found either just outside the main
shopping area or hidden away on a back street, their pres-
ence betrayed only by a small ad in the local paper and a
narrow shop front crammed with as many monitor
screens and games promo posters as possible.
The legend above the door will almost always read
something like "Computer Cabin", and the proprietor will
usually took like the twin brother of Kev who funs the sci-
11 shop on the next street.
Inside, the smell of pipe smoke from the bearded bloke
in the back mingles with the acrid tang of the soldering
iron he's using to breath a little more life into a veteran
Commodore 64, and the softly muted sounds of a promo-
tional games video running over and over on a monitor
above the counter forms a backdrop to the intense con-
versation a prospective customer is having with the sec-
ond shop assistant.
The customer wants la buy a hard drive for his Amiga
and he's not convinced that the one on display is worth
the asking price.
It is. the assistant admits, £50 more expensive than the
same model m the magazine ad being waved about by
the reluctant punter, but goes on to say that if the drive
isn't up to scratch or fails during warranty, he can come
back to the shop for an instant replacement
In fact, If sir would like to bring his A50Q Plus down to
the shop on Monday, the assistant would be happy to
prep, format, and install the hard drive,
Cher at the counter, Kev"s twin brother is trying lo sell
a joystick to a young punter who just can't make up her
mind-
Should she go for the simple, old-fashioned stick cost-
ing only £9.95 or splash on the 07.95 blaster master

Local dealers are a breed
threatened by recession and mail
order competition, but are still
the best place to go for service
and advice
with LCD display and lour Fire buttons? To solve the
Conundrum, the shop manager decides to load up a
game on the demonstration Amiga and give Miss
Undecided a hands-on test.
Just then, a regular comes in. "How are you Bill?
Busy?' 1 Bill (Kev's twin brother, for it is he) looks around
at the empty shop and shrugs, "Bit quiet today, mate."
Fred the regular has dropped in to take advantage of
Bill's £5 Swap Shop, a scheme whereby customers can
bring in old games and swap them for another at a
charge of only a fiver. This makes Bill a few quid without
hitting sales of new games.
Lunchtime comes and the shop fills out. School kids
mingle with office workers around: the racks of games
and, though the majority are there simply to browse, the
till begins to rattle a bit more frequently.
Everything from the latest shoot-'em-up to printer ri£>
bo ns and blank floppies leave the shop In plastic bags
and Bill starts to look a littEe more cheerful Even the
bearded bloke comes out to the counter to help djring
the busy period.
An hour passes and things calm down. The hirsute
repair man disappears back in La his hole to take care Of an
ailing Amiga, Bill goes off for a sandwich, and thE assistant
slumps into a chair behind the counter wEth a Came Gear.
Ten minutes later, a very confused Amiga owner wan-
defs m with a "please help me, I'm drowning" expression
on his face. Having installed a new wordprocessor he's hav-
ing problems with his printer and can r t get any hard copy.
Despite his annoyance at having been dragged away
from what was looking like a Sonic high score, the assistant
scribbles dawn a few commands on a sheet of paper,
copies what should be the correct printer driver onto a
floppy, and a happy and relieved customer hurries home
with one less Problem than when he left
The day ends with the usual rush of browsers around five
o'clock and Bill prepares to lock up for the night once the
repaired machines have been collected by their owners,
He's made less today than a big mail order outfit might
make in an hour, but the satisfied printer user will probably
become a regular customer and at least the latest
budget games are shifting well Another unsung hero
of the consumer computer miracle shuts up shop
for the day.

DOS Lab
The reaction that a priest gists when he hold? up a crucift* to n.
vampire is similar to somebody holding an Amiga DOS manual
up to a games player.
Of course this is unnecessary angst and it's in every Amiga
user's interest tD learn a hit of technical stuff — you never know
when you might need it. Even installing a game to your hard
drive can sometimes entail you doing a hit of mudsinjE around in
Shell.
But this Isn’t just a DOS manual - its an interactive disk
manual that mites advantage of the Amiga's capacity to multi-
task, so while you are learning the various
aspects of the Amiga's Workbench in one window
you can practice them at the same time In another
window,
It also teaches the reader small tricks that everybody even-
tually picks up but are really handy in the first pUcfi. like using
the arrow keys to stroll through the history of commands chat
you use quite often..
This is all well and good but the programmer really hasn't
taken into account that although he might find DOS very inter-
esting., other people don't.
The way the texc is written is fine - Ids direct and to the
point wichouc baffling the reader yet not so slow as to treat the
pupil like an idiot.
The main problem is the font - it's the standard Workbench
issue Topaz and the background cobur is deadly boring Had it
been set in a good readable font then it would have been a
winner.
A good buy if your really want to learn - look out for later

Analogue Mouse Port
Haw many times have you overheard a PC owner talking
about using an analogue joystick? Well I have bads of times
and never really thought about using one on the Amiga - until
we got a smart little gadget into the office from DigiPrinc,
As you probably already know, analogue joysticks for the
Amiga are few and far between. For the PC they are xen-a-
penny so we decided to nick one of theirs.
What we actual received through the post was a cable
which has a. standard nme-pin port on one end and a 15-pm
female plug Into which you plug the analogue joystick.
And they really do work! The one drawback Is that only a
Now us# PC Joyitfeftf c?n fhu Amig?
few games such as MS Strike Eagle and Birds of Prey can take
advantage of this technology.
Even so it's a fantastic feeling and you get a lot more out of
flight simulation. On the top of the 15-pin plug there is a three-
point resistance setting which, allows you set the joystick to the
resistance you want, and it's quite possible that some of the
games you will try it with will only work on one setting, I can't
chink of anything mare annoying than when the controls over-
react an a game.
From the same company there is an adaptor for a Bus
mouse. This basically means you can plug a PC mouse into your
Amiga.
What's the point? i hear you cry. Well ff you have anything
to do with image processing, a good PC mouse might be worth
a try because many of the higher range mice go up to about
100dpi - that's a goad 150dpi more accurate chan any Amiga
model,
The ;pgrt has been- cried and tested thoroughly and ft works
with all the games and application software chat che manufac-
turer tried it with.

It** about time programmer* completely gave up on
the idea of teaching children using parrot fashion learn-
ing programs. The new 10 out of 10 series takes a
totally different approach, and one that everybody
might not agree with.
The entire learning process is done through games.
What more could a child want but to learn by games?
The first is a. type of duck hunt. A question appears at
the top of the screen with the numbers you have to
work with displayed in the middle. The pupil most
shoot the correct number as lit passes along the con-
veyor belt.
You can make it a bit more awkward by speeding up
the belt, limiting the shots that can be taken and set-
ting the pupil a time limit for the exercise.
This pressure on the pupil Is designed co speed op
his or her reactions. It just a shame there isn't a feature
in» the program to test reaction time.
Next is Cover up, a simple similarity game where
the pupil has to match up sets of numbers* There is
very little maths actually involved but again it's timed
so the child is under pressure to finish the exercise*
As the program moves on T the set op becomes
more sophisticated. The third game has a ther-
mometer that steadily gets hotter and hotter* To
prevent it from blowing its top the questions must be
answered correctly.
Again the game gets harder as the pupil pro-
gresses - the temperature begins to rise faster and
the questionsget harder.
It doesn't actually let you win at any time - no mat-
ter how good the student, the thermometer will even-
tually heat up too fast and blow up. I thought that this
would be a bit demoralising to the pupil - it's not very
good psychology.
The version of the software geared at the English
side of the curriculum has pretty much the same
games fncoru orated into it. This is bit of shame - it's
all very well having a familiar user interface but the
same games over and over again will just result in
boredom. A bit of variety wouldn't have gone amiss.
The programs are entirely mouse driven and gen-
erally easy to use, A popular aspect that seems to be
cropping up in a lot of new education software is the
score card*
As the pupil progresses through the program he or
she will amass a score that can be improved upon
later, and to keep good track yau can print out a
score card.
As a “reward" feature, at the end of each section it

AlfaPower hard drive
Upgrading to-^a hard drive can be- Quite an expensive and
bewi dering fob, with to man y different makes and varieties
□r> the market today.
Gasteiner have recently reduced prices on the^r
.AlfaPower rang* of hard drives for the A 5 00 , AMJG Plus and
AI 50 C* making owning pne a more affordable Experience
The new range can be purchased with a variety of capaci*
ciei between -40 and 1 20 Mb, and also includes the facility do
n del extra memory between 2 and BMh using reasonably
priced Zip chips.
This extra memory is added to the memory already fitted
internally on your mach-ne. So it is possible DO take an A 500
Plus to a total 1 of 1 0 Mb - 2 Mb chip RAM and 8 Mb fast RAM.
The hard drive we tested was the 40 Mb model with no
extra memory, AlfaPower hard drive units are fitted with a
full size hard crive as standard, but if requested can be fitted
with a 2 , 5 in drive instead for a small additional cosl
Having the ability to fix the imaRer 2 , 5 in drrve is quite a
good idea, because if you ever upgrade to either an AW or
A I 200 you can rhen remove the drive unit from the
AlfaPower case "nd fix ii internally into your new machine
with no problems
There are two main type^ of hard drive available, which
ire IDE and SCSI - there ts also, incidentally, SCSI ll r but this
is not as widely uaea Ou£ :o in cost
SCSI hard drives r £ - : t0 faster than IDEs but can cost
almost a third p r « Generally an IDE interface
will suffice for the home user or tenw-prefessponal. but if you
intend to use the drive for man^ting large files all day tong,
Chen the speed difference between IDE and a SCSI will be
noticeable.
The AlfaPower drr*c «cr the A 500 and A 5 G 0 Plus comes
in a smallish mecaJ box wfich q the nine colour and almost
the same ihap* as in A 5 O 0
It has two switches on top ^ fi^abiing the drive or the
memory. The ability to 5 **tch i off without unplugging il is a
good idea as not all gams lice taring drives on at the same
h possible for the Iticher to add encouraging len-
tences if the child has done wN v a right good slag-
ging If he or itw has hied to tome iqp to scratch.
There Are plenty of other aspects that can he cem-
trolled by the teacher - t— if the mold off or mak-
ing an access code Co itap tita dW changing any of
the information m the program, for bHtance.
AH the gam» haw «io Mt-*i grades, each aiming
at a higher National fWi iudtan Attainment Target.
When a pupil loads a game it mm be *e on levol one,
and will progress as he or dv Utwni more able.
Overall the packages half bad- Therms a lot
uf content and a vast tnmm* of i-A l i im atfon for the
child to plough through i fcc h oiwii the fact that the
overall pn?wntats«i ti a bit Mmd - not really colour-
hil enough to hoW a ddff for a very long
time.
Economy ii
of the
gam* with the

time- On the lack there a hofe m feed a ribbon cable through
for you to control mother drive externally, The AlfaPower unit
can control two d trm i required but if you have the Full-siied
drive fitted she- dw enn dr we will hive to go externally.
There is aha a plug on the back for you to use in etiOTiil
power supply wh <ch tan be bought separately. We used the unrL
qci i IMb A 502 Bu; one extra drive and found iE worked
qu«ce happily *nh . -ji the external power supply, but d you have
more than on* c*tn drive, extra memory and any other
devices, you m-ght find your machine struggling to- supply
enough: power.
Connection <s ach-e^-td by removing the cover of the port
on the left-hand snje of the A 5 QG and simply plugging die drive
unit into this porr
You then boot your machine with the supplied install soft-
ware and begin the xepping. The software will dq most of this
for you without you ha*, ng to have any in-depth knowledge.
Along; with the software you aha get several utilities
which help you to eftedt the performance of not only the drive
unit but the extra memory added is well .
On test it worked wcl! with very little noise even when
accessing, and managed to transfer data at around 494 k a sec-
ond which is qurro reason be for the low price.
As already mentioned you can add extra memory internally
by buying Zip chips which Gasttiner can supply for £69 per
2 Mb. One qf the mqre rrooceable features of this drive is the
fact that it has an expansion bus pass-through, which many
don’t have.
Having a pass-through enables you to connect other devices
such as hand scanners, d posers and sound samplers to the side
without having to unplug; the unit
Certainly for the money, it offers a cheap solution to anyone
who wants a hard drive but can't afford some of the more
expensive models around-
One thing to note if you have a I Mb machine and ynu install
any hard drive is that you Will lose a fair chunk of that memory
far use by the hard drive.

! dread reviewing software such as this because once upon a
time I was a PD reviewer and programs such as these had two
things in common - one, they were ten a penny, two they were
invariably crap. But. once again I have been proved totally wrong.
The first program from the series is called Home Brewing.
Unfortunately it's just about wine and not beers, nevertheless
the amount of information that been cammed onto the one disk
is awesome.
The program is clearly set out with no naff frilly bits. It s just
a case of clicking on each of the different menus to get to the
sub menu then the listings beyond. The best Feature by far is the
ease of use - the icons and labels are nice andl big, which is an
unusual surprise,
From the main menu you can choose recipes, solve problems

With the arrival of the new A 1 200
and A3 000, more and more people
want to uw VGA or multisync-style
monitor?, htit tQ enable you to do
this you have to have a special
adaptor*
Commodore up to now have
been the only people producing
such an adaptor* but now a com-
pany called ftPS Connections are
also producing one. The connector
RDS produce enables an Amiga to
be connected to either a VGA ora
multisync monitor*
This is where a lot of people are
getting confused because if you
connect an Amiga to a monitor
which doesn't sync down io 15kHz
then you won't be abie to display
the 5 witch is bleed in a certain direction. The switches are
placed at equidistant points so that they will be: triggered if the
wheel is moved in that direction.
So imagine yourself sat holding the wheel in front of driving
sim. Posh forward to accelerate, pull back to brake - this cakes
a bit of getting used to, but it's a good system
Next we tried the pedals. This realty took me back to when
I used to have to play Project X with a mouse on the floor
which I had to tread on every time 1 wanted to select a
power-up.
Of course they are very handy For driving games - the
wheel and die pedals together make a formidable Force. I thing
most of the office tried them out at One time Or another.
To look at r the pedals look like something from Mothereare
- very big and chunky wiih bright primary colours for the

Its amazing that such a blindingly obvious product has taken
so long m hit the market. There was always someone in the
office who said it was about time we had a steering wheel of
some tort to play racing games. So we wont and got one. and
what a laugh we had.
To Complement the wheel we also got a set of
Spettravideo pedals - If we were going to be b i« kids about
this we were going to do it properly.
The first thing that baffled me about the FreeWheel was
the fact that It wasn't attached to anything - it is literally 3
wheel with a cable coming out of it. So how does it work*
Inside the wheel are mercury switches. With mercury
being a liquid it will only make an electrical connection when
Epson Stylus 800
Epson have for some time been the market leaders in the dot
matrix printer sector, but have not psLd much attention to
irekjets - until now, that Is.
The Stylus, according to Epson, is aimed at the mid IO high"
end of the inkjet market, offering excellent pnnt quality at an
affordable price. It uses Epson's new Piezo Print Technology,
which is supposed to offer far greater print quality and speed
over existing inkjet systems.
The Stylus 800 5s quite small and certainly weighs far less
chan its nearest rival, the HP DeskJet 500. It has nice, easy to
understand controls on the front, and no messy DIP switches at
the rear (which arc always such a pam to set correctly).
When you First remove it from the box you don't have to
worry about assembling any of its parts like with some printers.
AH you do have to do before using it t$ insert the ink cartridge,
which isn't very difficult at all,
As far as paper handling goes, you can put up to 100 sheets
of M paper into its paper handler at a time, and you can even

three controls. Set in-between the first and second pedal is a
control panel. Five sliding switches each correspond to a move-
ment on a joystick and the Fire button. You can assign my of
these would-be movements to any of the three pedals, so pedal
one can act as the Fire button and pedal two as a forward push
on the joystick.
My one problem with the pedals is dm they don't look very
strong. Mind you. they got a good wdlying »n the office and
stood tip very wel - they just look a bit limp. Apart from this, II
think they're a smashing piece of kit.

and get hints and tips from the professionals. Each recipe has
the method, ingredients and measurements, all of which are
excellently set out, After you have used this package for a
while you realise that it really is very professionally put
together.
The second program is The Stock Controller. A cracking
little program, basically it's a database but it's specifically
designed for keeping stock in a shop. There are some really
mce touches, including an auto-save option to prevent you
losing records if you leave the machine on and it crashes.
The programming style Isn't consistent throughout the
programs which 1 find unusual but It's not really a blow to
their competence or usefulness.
For the pnee there is no excuse for anybody io be caun
tious - £3 .SC to have a bash and possibly find a program that
will suit your iveeds well into the future is worth it.
VGA or multisync monitor.
According to RDS this adaptor
allows people to use their Am if as

but it can also be used on a multi-

Using such a monitor with will

Because of the ^y the inkjet printers work,, which is, by

tie careful which of paper you use.
If you use ?iper *hpch is *ery shiny or has been coated then
when the ink s sprayed omo it it wjII not dry before che next
piece of paper n placed on cop, which will cause the printing to
smudge.
Also if yoy use «*ry rough paper, you won't be able to get
sharp edges to you characters. as when you try printing the
paper will absorb t he ?r.k and spread it slightly making your
images blurred

In bulk, as the dffcreflce between some papers when used for
printing can be vast
Unfortunately Epson have not yet produced 3 specific printer
driver for use from Workbench for the Stylus,, but you can use
the EpsunQ drwer and still obtain quite good results. Hopefully
soon the company will get this sorted out and start producing an
Anuga drwer speech ly for this printer.
On test we used the EpsonQ driver which comes with
Workbench We also tried EpsonQId but this didn't do a very
good job ac a i Using EpsonQ gave very good graphic printouts,
which didn’t surfer from that dreaded banding which you get
from a dot matrix printer.

a lot of decal this #as probata y down tp incorrect paper type.
The Stylus has five bitmap and four scalable fonts built-in.
Unfortunately you can ony use the scalable fonts if you have a
printer driver which can utilise the newei Epson commands

Also Wordworth 2 can also produce its own scalable fonts for
use with any pnnter - these coo give good results with this par-
tkular model.
The Stylus has 32k of RAM on board for buffering, which can
be split into two sections - one for text and the other for graph-
ics. One thing that's missing is any kind of expansion port for
extra fonts or 1 larger buffer, although the need for extra inter-
nal fonts is not essential’ as most new word processors include
scalable fonts nowadays anyway.

Monitor
The newer Amiga* now have the Productivity screen mode, but
unfortunately it cannot be used: on the two most popular mom-
torsrthe Commodore 1 084 and" the Philips Mkll 8H31
The Productivity mode is supported on the A 500 Plus,
A.600, A I 1 200 and the A^OOQ. Productivity is mainly use d by

It makes using Workbench much less stressful on your
eyes. Unfortunately monitors which support this mode cost
considerably more than lo-res models, These monitors can
also be quite hard to find.
Generally if you wish to use ah of the new modes, you
should look for a multisync monitor which supports scan rates
from 1 5kHz to around 33kHz, but these cost In excess of
£450.
So if you only want to use your machine for work purposes
and not games or anything else that ui.es kvres then it may he
worth considering, the Philips 4CM427{i extend ed VGA moni-
tor, which costs over £100 less than the cheapest true mufti-
sync currently available.
The 4CM4270 is a colour multisync which according to
Philips can sync between 30 and SSkHz, it has a I4in. 0,28 dot
pitch colour screen, stereo speakers and a earphone socket
cm the front,
All controls are situated on the front of the monitor ror
easy access, giving you control over audio level, contrast,
brightness, horizontal size, horizontal shift, vertical size and
vertical shift
When used in Productivity mode the monitor gave good
picture quality with very little bending of images near the
outer edges of the screen,
When using this monitor on the new A L 100 or A4000 you
can put the VGA^only icon into your monitor's drawer which
will enable -you to display nearly all Workbench screens with
very reasonable quality.
One drawback when using A 1 200 or A40OQ in VGA mode
is chat sometimes the display is slightly larger chan screen. It
can be a pain having to scroll around, although this mainly hap-
pens with graphic packages such as ADPro. When used with
either wordprocessors or DTP packages however, the display
is fine. This monitor may be quite a good buy for someone
who has a PC bridge board fitted internally into either an
A 1 50Q. A2000, A3Q&G or A4G0Q as it will give them the ability
to use their monitor as either an Amiga display or for the PC
in SVGA mode,
For the price it's certainly a good buy — if you aren't going
to want to play games. All Fhalips monitors have a one year,
on-site warranty included in the price too.

TypeSmith
Font editors have been common on the Amiga since FED first
made an appearance on the Workbench Extras disk, but they
have hitherto been capable only of editing and creating Amiga
bitmap Fonts, Softlogik's TypeSmith is the first outline font edi-
tor on the Amiga and neady fills a gap m the DTP market.
It is capable of loading and saving fonts in four formats -
Soft Log ik's own PageStream format, Adobe Type I, Adobe
Type 3, and Agfa Iniellifont, and is thus capable of dealing with
just about any Typeface available for DTP and video tilling
work.
in addiuon, logos produced m a structured drawing package
can be converted to fonts of their own thanks to TypeSmtth's
ability to load DftlD drawings,
Creating a font ft, however, no easy matter, A range of
standard structured drawing tools have been included to
enable the construction of characters from lines and Bezier
curves, but unless the user hai a good idea of what he or she
wants this It not a good place to start The old fashioned

method of panning a design cm graph paper is probably best to
start with, as anyone who- has built up a complex object from
structured drawing tools will confirm fust how difficult ft can
be.
TypeSmith will, luckily. load an IFF bitmap as a background
template over which the user can trace the finished, characters,
so it ee possible to draw a set of characters, scan them in. then
import them one at a lime as twnpfetes,
To make the designer's job easier, the package offers a vari-
ety of time-saving tools. Composite characters, for Instance -
those consisting of more than one part such as the dipthong
(ae) - can be bulk from existing characters through a screen
which enables the user to put together as many as he or she
hkes then set the X or T offsets for each composite member.
The resulting character is saved as a small table oF informa-
tion which is then used to reconstruct it as needed rather than
waste duplicate disk and memory space.
There is also a print preview screen into which the user can
type any string to be displayed in the current typeface and a
typeface overview panel,
This feature gives the user an overview of a complete char-
acter set with all chose characters present in the currant set
printed in white, but the characters themselves are displayed in
the default system font.
Previewing an entire font in Topaz £ is hardly the most
effective way of judging how the characters look together.
On the plus side, the Edit- Metrics menu option enables the
loading and real-time editing pf kerning pairs such as VO and
AV. When the preview option b selected, the kerning pair as
displayed on screen and the user can change the amount of
space between characters using simple mouse clicks or by
assigning a specific value.
As custom fonts will often have need of their own kerning
pairs, the ability to add as many as required then save the kern-
ing information with the typeface is invaluable.
One pleasantly surprising feature when saving Incelllfonts is
the option to specify that the font is saved in a Gold Disk
friendly format.
Since the early releases of ProRage. Gold Disk have insisted
on using Agfa fonts with separate outline (.dai} and metric
(.metric) files, making necessary the use of the Gold Disk font
converter
TypeSmith's acknowledgement that ProP^ge exists and has a
fair old. share of the Am^ga DTP market Is both a refreshing
change from the usual lack of communications between
Seftlogik and their arch rivals and a feature which greatly
enhances the package's appeal.
TypeSmith is a superb package For what it does, and there is
precious little that could have been added to make It any bet-
ter. It wouldi have been nice to see the ability to create Amiga
bitmap fonts from their outline cousins, but as this is a program
designed for the professional market the omission is not a
serious one.
Full marks to SoftLoglk on a clean, elegant, workmanlike
product, if a little overpriced.
Paint packages
DPaint 4
DPaini needs no introduction,, as it has for long been the Amiga's
number one am package. However. Electronic Arts made a fete
entry into the HAM pamting scene only last year, and it hasn't
been a particularly inspiring one,
DPaint 4 has, of course, all the excellent features of DPamt 3,
hut when considered as a HAM package it is incredibly slow and
virtually unusable for freehand or even reasonably flowing work
The speed of screen update is quite pitiful,, despite several
enhancements in DPamt 4. 1 , and will discourage any exclusively
HAM -based artist from the outset
Still the best buy For general Amiga artwork and animation ,
DPainc 4 is a no-go For HAM fens.

Spectracolor
This is probably the best all-round HAM paint package at the
moment, if only because Et is smooth in operation and has a thor-
oughly modern interface. Not as well established as DPaint,
5peccracolor nevertheless mannges HAM painting with little fuss,
quick screen updates, and a healthy supply of extra Features.
The obligatory palette mixer is there, but in addition the pro-
gram offers morphing, blending, smoothing and a wide range of
colour controls.
The animation function are easy to use, if a little slow, and
selecting and creating p i octes ranges is a simple job. A weil bal-

bask package with no animation facility and Linde in the way of

TV Paint
Quite simply the best 14-bit paint package available for the
Amiga. TV ffeint made its debut on the Harlequin card and
has since made appearances on the Avideo and FV24 boards.
Dedicated to producing high quality output For TV graph-
ics, TV Paint does the job with the minimum of fuss and
bother. All controls are accessed from 3 single floating cool
box, and most icons bring up their own requesters.
At n Hi times the interface is dean, simple, and easy to use,
wtth speed and the necessity to avoid interfering with the artist
so obviously of prime importance to the program's designers.
The range of gradient tills, stencil effects and airbrush con-
trols is unmatched, and. as the package has undergone constant

seems certain to continue. Look out for TVFairiiL v2 in the near

Imagica
Produced to run on th£ VD 2001 board, Imagica 's interface
looks ssmkfar in many ways to that of Paintbox, the TV indus-
try's standard 24-bii art system. AH controls are made via a
large, smooth looking gadget screen which drops down when
the mouse printer is moved to the top of the screen.
Control Is mostly via gadgets which are big enough to read
at distance, making them more readable than TV Paints diming
tive tool box, and all main menu gadgets allow access io lurcher
screen for the manipulation of colour, brushes, and special
effects.
The features available in imagica aren't quite as comprehen-
sive as TV Paint, but the package can still produce images to
milch its, rival.
For the budget artists, Imagica is available- as a [wo module
set; so it is possible to buy the basic painting functions in mod-
ule 1 and spend the extra money later to get the more
advanced features of module 2, or to |uvnp right in and buy both

Pretext 5.5
For long the Amiga's pre mier word processor, Protest is
still the most powerful, though lacking many of the fea-
tures found in Wysiwyg packages,
Protest is tat, contains a powerful built-in macro and
command language, can produce invoices using its line
drawing mode and has many of the features you'll only
otherwise find in a PC package, such as auto numbering
and sett-incrementing variables. For business users it is the
only choice.
Disadvantages include its limited display (definitely not
Wysiwyg}, its less than completely friendly interface, lack
of graphics support and overall complexity, so it is per-
haps not the ideal choice for home users.
Ideal uses For Protest include invoking, mail-outs (due
to its powerful mail merging options}, and the rapid gen-
eration of huge amounts of text - its simple display lends
it the fastest typing speed of all Amiga WFs.
Wordworth v2
Another British- produced program, Wordworth is a
smooth, user-friendly word processor with fewer power
features than Pretext but superb document design
options and a finished output that's better than most,
Wordworth is one of the easiest WPs with which to
generate PostScript documents, as it has full support for
the standard and is supplied wiLh 17 superb Agfa Fonts.
It also comes complete with support for 140 individ-
ual printers, enabling full control of built-in printer fonts
from within a document. The spell checker and the-
saurus used is the Collins Linguibase (as used by
Protest}, so British spellings are the order oF the day.
Goth work very well.
The program's disadvantages are that it can be mem-
ory hungry, offers no macro facility, and can sometimes
run very slowly when memory is tight.
Not. the best WP for the office, Wordworth 2 is better
suited to the production of high quality PostScript docu-
ments including graphics.
Ideal uses Tor Wordworth include letter writing,
important documents which have to look just right, such
as CVs, simple DTP tasks (its graphic support and
PostScript options give it a definite advantage) and gen-
eral home correspondence.
excellence! 3.0
excellence!, which for iome reason doesn't have a capital
letter aL the beginning of its title, is a huge sprawling
package including a 140,000 word dictionary complete
with definitions, a thesaurus, grammar checker, and
Post Script support.
It sounds like great value for money, and in some ways
it is, but excellence! is in many ways over the top and suf-
fers in the basic areas as a result.
Advanced features include the ability to use multiple
columns of text in a document, PostScript support using
its own versions of popular fonts, automatic contents gen-
eration (of the others, only Protext does this), and graphic
support. However, text scrolling speed is poor and the
program uses a lot of memory.
For users worried about their presentation, excellence!
is a good bet as the built-in grammar checker is powerful
enough to spot most of the mistakes made by amateur
wordsmiths.

Final Copy II
Probably the most attractive looking wordprocessor around,
FCH is fast, colourful, and slick. HamS graphics and DTP are
the program's Forte, and it has a number of features specifi-
cally dimed at making good presentation easier.
Like its predecessor, Pen Pal, the program has drawing
tools available lor designing page elements from within
the word processor,, but in line with the main competition,
all AC A graphics modes are supported.
Uniquely at time of writing, FC II also displays 256
colour graphics on screen, making it the best WP for
colour printing, particularly PostScript printing,.
For basic word pro cessing and superbly colourful
pseudo-DTP, Final Copy H is a good bet, but don't expect
to write a magnum opus with it.
ProWrite 3.3
Having recently been price-slashed, ProWrite is a rather
attractive buy for those in need of a general purpose WP
The problem with ProWnte is that it is just that - genera
purpose.
It is similar to Wordworth in that it is a full Wysiwyg
package with direct PostScript support and a lot ol icons
For standard functions.
However, the PostScript option isn't as neatly imple-
mented as the Digit* ottering, the program doesn't sup-
port built in printer fonts, and it is slower, especially when
Hamfi graphics are included in a document.
Having said all this, ProWrite is a perfectly usable pack-
age and has the advantage of its ten user-definable
macros which can be very useful with a bit of thought on
the user's part.
Like Wordworth, it has a good, though American, spd
checker and word count, but it will also carry out calcula-
tions and automatically sort a list of words in alphabetical
order.
ProWnte is best suited to the home user who prefers to
save a few bob and isn't too bothered about speed oi
scrolling. For those people it represents a bargain at its pre-
sent price and should serve well in its general purpose role.
Scribble
Scribble is one of the Amiga's golden oldies and is usually
supplied as part of the Works Platinum home office pack-
age, It is a basic, norv Wysiwyg wordprocessor and has
few, if any, whistles and bells.
Most of the standard options are there, including
search/replace, spell checker, and word count, but its tea-
tures are usually in the most basic form.
Its dull-lockiny interface, with no gadgets and all option*
restricted to menus rather like Protext 5.5 r doesn't score
highly in these days ot prettified software, but thousands o'
staunch users would no doubt agree that this leads to an
easy-on- thereye environment for hashing out text
There's little to commend Scribble other than this and
its low price, but it's still an attractive buy For those with a
need for a basic text engine.
|l you want to produce documents with lots of text
effects and different fonts, the print preview mode makes
up in part for the lack of a modern display.

\ n the past Iwd disks were scri-ctJy for the serious but
, | /' with the ever in tress ng number or installable: gam«,
./ fester machines and puncer-friendly power produces, die
tabfes have turned and the anorakj ol old are no longer alone in
the quest for faster, bigger and better storage.
For those who newer wander much further than the games
section* the apparent complex ity of the subject and range of
hardware on the market must setm richer daunting. However*
die move from floppies doesn't have to be as traumatic as you
might imagine.
One of the biggest misconceptions about a hard disk is that
somehow it will transform your machine from an old friend into
a total stranger sec to scotch any attempt at useabilicy, or alter-
natively create an all-singing. aJI-dandpf automated answer to
life, the universe and everything.
Bliss and misery
In feet if approached from the right or wrong angle both
arguments hold water, the angle being your level pf understand-
ing <jf how a hard disk operates. This could literally mean die dif-
ference between bliss and misery
In effect, a hard disk is simply a very big. very fast, floppy if
you can keep this concept in mind,, managing the beast is a
whole lot easier, For example, a hard dish has to hive all the
basic dements the Amiga expects to- find on a floppy,
If the machine can't find essential such as the C directory it
won't perform even chi most basic Cl! commands as almost all
the CL! essentials must be resident in the C directory of die sys-
tem disk, just as they are when the floppy boots the machine
thereby assuming the role of a floppy system disk.
Whenever the mach ine is turned on with a bard disk installed
and no floppy present the hard disk immediately becomes the
system disk and as a result the machine wdS attempt to boot
from it and from then on look to it for all the files asked for
either by you or your software unless told otherwise.
The point is chat you must be able to manage your hard disk
properly by making sure that what die Amiga requires is avail-
HARD
TIMES
With hard disks becoming
ever more essential, it's
time to cut through the
technological red tape and
unravel the myth and
mystery of perhaps the
most expensive add-on
you'll ever buy...
able and in the right place For thu reason alone a directory
manager h essentia! Fortunately there’s a Joe of drake in this
area with several programs in the public domain plus the odd
commercial alternative. Notable PD programs including TDM
and 5ID2 - both of whmh have been on past AC CoverDiiks -
+
#
while commercial offerings include Directory Opus and
Directory Manager. For the beginner a PD program should be
more chan enough as it simply makes the process of copying,
moving and managing files much easier. If however you feel con-
fident to handle die process via the CLJ or Shell feel free.
In addition to- file management, it's essential you become
comfortable with die AmigaDQS assign command as it becomes
invaluable to ary hard disk user. Assuming you've deeded to
tek-e the plunge, what's next? Should you gp for a SCSI or an
IDE? Do you have 3 choice, and if so what's the difference?
WeH although a slightly complex subject here are Che basic*.
If you own a machine that runs on Workbench 2 or below you
have the choice between IDE and - SCSI with die essential drier-
ence being that SCSI devices are generally a little faster and
more expandable while IDEs are cheaper.
Unlike IDE the SCSI standard is much more intelligent and as
a result can be employed to control other devices besides just
hard disks. In arfdstipn a SCSI controller ii much more self suffi-
cient than an IDE and won't overburden the CPU of the
machine when readif^g or savi ng data.
Gauging speed
For the average user the difference in speed is barely notice-
able, especially if you've just upgraded from a floppy system. The
thing to ear in mind is that speed In relation to hard disks is
totally different to whai you're use too. For example in floppy
terms speed is usually gauged in minutes while hard disks are
compared in milliseconds.
In simple terms this means that software loaded on a IDE
drive will take longer to toad in relation to the avenge SCSI
with the effete increasing when writing k> the disk.
On the expansion side an IDE will support a maximum of
three drives from one controller while SCSI stretches up to
seven. Although a real advantage 10 serious users the advantages
aren't really an issue for the average punter.
After all. can you see yourself lashing out for expensive SCSI
add-ons or extra drives*
Learn how to ask the right questions
Before handing over any cash here's a list of essential questions you should pot to
you supplier.
First and foremost ask whether the unit is IDE or SCSI, If the unit it an IDE
ask if the drive - minus the controller card - would fit into either an A60Q
or A I 2 or:. This is worth knowing even if you're planning lu UiSe the drive
externally because if you decide to upgrade later on you won't need to invest in a
new drive.
When buying an A SOC/5 00 Plus external* ask if memory tun be added to the drive,
and If so can the machine still use this additional FLAM when the hard disk is
turned* off?
If the drive you want operates without a power supply, ask if there is an Option to
add a power supply if necessary, This may be essential rf you plan to use the drive
with additional puriipherals as the Strain on the Amiga's internal power may be too
much.
In the same vein* ask if the drive offers a DMA pass- through, If not it will be
impossible to use additional DMA devices such as scanners ur RAM expansions
oniess they offer a DM A- through option allowing the drive to be appended to them.
If you opt for a SCSI device and wish to take advantage of it? daisy-chaining poten-
tial, ensure that the drive has a SCSI through-port. If not you won't be able to
expand later cm, unless you buy another controller card.
Remember to ask about the speed of the drive. Query the drives access time in
milliseconds. The fastest drives run at about 1 1 milliseconds with 17 being the norm
for IDEs - anything above 10 is pretty sluggish,,,
IfynuVe planning to buy a second-hand unit make sure the drive's original format-
ting and prep software comes as part Of the deal. Jf disaster Strikes and you’re foi ceil!
to re-form at your drive finding appropriate software can be very difficult - t specialty
□ n older models.
Finally when buying a drive make sure you have at least 2Mb of memory in tot.il
Commodore found this out ED their cost with the A6QQHD which shipped with only
I Mb and as a result wouldn't run many games simply because a certain amount of
RAM is required to boot the hard disk and Workbench, thereby rendering tht rn
unusable.
