EDITORIAL - THE SECRET REVEALED....
So what are we going to do?
A lot of people have read our hints about great things that are
about to happen. Some of them have reacted and asked us what the
hell we were up to. Well, since issue 4.4 is a mere two months
away, the time has come to lift the veil of secrecy and to tell
you EVERYTHING!
On the other hand.....let's give Richard a chance to tell you. I
mean he is the brain behind it all, so it is his right to tell
you ALL. Just read his article in the 'Features' section of this
ST NEWS. (It has to do with visiting people.....even Jeff
Minter!!!....I could not resist saying this.)
What about this issue? I mean this one is quite nice too. It has
been dedicated to the Norwegians. (Read the dedication special by
Richard...brilliant). I think our 'relation' with our very
special Norwegian friends is reaching a climax here. Richard and
I just finished the longest Crazy Letter ever written (137Kb!!!)
and I have just been roaming around the house with a video camera
shooting the first pictures of the ST NEWS HOME 'VID!
For those who are interested in interrupts and rasters, read my
article in the 'Education' menu. It tells you all about those
wonderful things. If the Wizards articles were beyond you, you
might find this one useful. For freaky programmers eyes only!
As usual, the reviews with novelettes are here. Richard really
outdid himself this time with the 'Populous' review. It is
remarkable.
Not much to say now. Get on with it and read this issue. See
you in issue 4.4....
One more thing, do not forget to check out the scrolling
messages. The monochrome one is called the SM demo (Scroll
Massacre) and the color one is quite nice too. Lotsa scrolling,
rasters and effects. Also the picture is of superb quality again
and the Comic Bakery music is also pretty stunning. What more can
you want!?!?!!
Enjoy this ST NEWS!
A slightly exited editor.

The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared
in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s)

bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact
