In This Issue

 
Published in EUG #57

And you thought that the BBC machines were dead! This EUG contains possibly the biggest glut of impressive new software since time immemorial. Not only have two brand new unreleased Superior Software releases made it to EUG HQ but so too have a succession of supplementary Joseph Lavery images (all up to his usual jaw-dropping standards!), several stunning demos and games and the news that Christian Weber's "Elk Entertainment" will return as from EUG #58! What? You want more? Then read on...

Contents/News

The usual guide to EUG and the Menu System for newcomers plus the latest supplier, cyberspace and user group news - and the quick rundown of the latest bustling EUG disk.

Articles

BRAINTEASERS presents us with a weird world where the aliens are landing and we have numerous alcoholics for friends. Plus, we forward a message on some of the problems associated with HUSBAND 1.0.

Demos

Some rare screen display gems on display with two colour-switching animated demos, MUMMY and TRENCH, from Carl Graham plus a not-quite human face and Chris Dewhurst's STRUTHIOMIMUS dinosaur demo.

Games

Harebrain (All series. Requires PAGE at &E00)
Chris Dewhurst is back with a timely machine code Easter graphic adventure, all fully documented and brand spanking new!

Utilities

3D Editor (All series)
Salvaged from the mists of time by Ross Little, another PD utility is saved from extinction. Manipulate 3D cylinders into impresive shapes, and create your own multi-coloured slideshows with this disk-based, screen-saving editor. Read the documentation first though; it saves to disk continually and will need to be *COPYed over to a spare one. Includes a slideshow of presaved images.

JOSEPH LAVERY SLIDESHOW (IMAGES #1) (All series)
The first of two supplements to THE JOSEPH LAVERY COLLECTION reviewed last ish, five colourful Mode 1 screens to add to his lavish portfolio. Loaded with a compressed screen loader/depacker.

Reviews

We present the long-awaited lowdown on Uggie's Garden, discover the lost Elk version of the unreleased Tactic and report on bat and ball 'blip' update Video Classics. (For the EUG #3 review, please go to "What A Lovely WWW" on the Mailbag menu.)
