Dear reader,<br />
Welcome back to another trip into the legal game<br />
making industry.<br />
In this chapter you will find the normal assortment of<br />
news,informations and advertisments, aswell as<br />
donated documents from the companies themselves.<br />
With each coming issue i will be putting more of<br />
my concentration into legal endeavours, so<br />
expect this chapter in other mags to flow with news<br />
on my own behalf!<br />
<br />
All feedback, news, documents from companies and<br />
assosciates are still quite welcome to the usual<br />
address and will be used in future with Vandalism News<br />
and other legal publications i (Jazzcat) am involved<br />
with.<br />
Enjoy..<br />
<br />
Commodore User (C) Alternative Software.<br />
<br />
Hello C64 world. My name is Heath Kirby-Miller.<br />
I am here to inform you that i am about to launch a new<br />
C-64 paper magazine. It will be called 'Commodore User'<br />
Initially, each issue of C.U. will be 36 black &amp; white A4<br />
pages, with more if the demand is there.<br />
A coverdisk will be provided with each issue of C.U.<br />
containing a selection of the latest legal software.<br />
C.U. will focus on both the commercial and PD side of<br />
the C64.<br />
<br />
The proposed content of C.U. thus far is as follows:<br />
NEWS: The more the bestter, provided that it is<br />
generally good. We are looking for news of<br />
forthcoming C64/128 releases from commercial<br />
software companies, of forthcoming releases from<br />
legal groups, and of major changes to a groups<br />
status or direction. Plus any other news of interest to<br />
the general C64/128 community. All of this can be<br />
included on the votesheet circulating the scene, so be<br />
sure to get hold of one. If you want a votesheet, just<br />
contact me.<br />
<br />
Reader's Forum: The place to express your opinions,<br />
thoughts and ask questions.<br />
Classifieds: Do you have something to buy, sell or swap<br />
this is the place for it. Free placement.<br />
Commercial Software Reviews: Any one of the many<br />
commercial software companies out there can send us<br />
their latest titles, for review by the reviewing team.<br />
All we ask is that the games you'd like reviewed be sent<br />
to us complete with any packaging and documentation,<br />
along with details of price and a contact address.<br />
All of this will be used for the review.<br />
Public Domain Software Reviews: Here some of the<br />
many PD titles will be reviewed.<br />
Charts: Vote for your favourite: Demo groups,<br />
disk magazines, graphicians, Internet sites, musicians,<br />
programmers, software companies, games and demos.<br />
<br />
<br />
User Groups: Do you run, or are you involved in a user<br />
group? Write and tell us about it. The information we<br />
require, is, ofcourse the name f the group, where and<br />
when it meets, the services it offers it's members and<br />
the cost (if any) of obtaining membership and the<br />
person to contact regarding the club.<br />
All of this information will be used to establish a User<br />
group listing, which will appear in each issue.<br />
<br />
Fanzines: Do you produce a fanzine? This is where<br />
you can write and tell us about it. We'd like to establish<br />
a Fanzines Listing so to be included let us know:<br />
- name of your fanzine<br />
- it's format (tape, disk or paper)<br />
- it's frequency (monthly, bi-monthly etc)<br />
- it's price<br />
- contact address<br />
Tell us what your fanzine covers and if you would like<br />
us to review your fanzine send at least two<br />
consecutive issues to us at the usual address.<br />
The reason we ask two issues is so that we have a<br />
more balanced view of the fanzine. Often there is a<br />
difficulty when reviewing a fanzine when having seen<br />
only one issue, as it may not really be representative<br />
of the fanzine at it's best (or worst, for that matter).<br />
<br />
Can You Help?: If we cannot help you with something, or<br />
feel it would be better addressed to our readers, we<br />
will open it up to them.<br />
Second Hand Product Guide: Hard to find old original<br />
items priced to clear.<br />
C64 Memories: Looking at the earlier years of the C64,<br />
particularly pre-1992. Looking at the major<br />
supporters of the C64 in this time - the big software<br />
companies, the commercially available publications,<br />
the successful (and maybe not so successful)<br />
commercial software titles, hardware items that<br />
revolutionized the C64 world and so forth.<br />
<br />
Games Hints And Tips: For new and old games, relying on<br />
your input.<br />
<br />
Geos Column: Such a phenomenal system, deserving<br />
coverage. Here we will provide GEOS news, reviews and<br />
advice.<br />
Internet Column: As many of us know, and have<br />
experienced, the Internet is a fairly active centre for<br />
C64 users. In this column we hope to include news, site<br />
reviews, and information about the software available<br />
through the Internet.<br />
Hardware Reviews: This would ideally depend on the<br />
support of companies dealing in such, although we will<br />
also look at older items.<br />
Programming Column: We would ideally like someone with<br />
a good background in machine language to provide a<br />
guide for beginners.<br />
<br />
If you have a particular area of expertise that you<br />
can write about, yet no allowance has been made for it<br />
contact us as soon as possible.<br />
We are looking for many people to provide information<br />
for the Internet column. If you manage your group's<br />
homepage tell us about it for inclusion in C.U.<br />
If anyone is interested in writting the Programming<br />
column contact us as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
C.U. Coverdisk<br />
It is our belief providing a coverdisk with each issue<br />
of C.U. will significantly enhance the quality of the<br />
publication and the enjoyment the reader will gain from<br />
it.<br />
The coverdisk will provide a way of supplying our<br />
readers with a selection of the best new software<br />
available on the C64. The best games, demos, utilities,<br />
music, graphics, game previews and more besides.<br />
We also intend to supply exclusive software titles from<br />
time to time, that is software developed by leading C64<br />
programmers especially for our coverdisk.<br />
The coverdisk will also be means of complementing<br />
information contained in the magazine itself. For<br />
example (this is only a basic list): inclusion of game<br />
previews discussed in the magazine, inclusion of<br />
demonstration type programs (such as source code if<br />
we carried a coding chapter), inclusion of detailed<br />
games hints/solutions and so on.<br />
<br />
Further Info<br />
We would like to hear from any commercial software<br />
companies who would like their latest titles reviewed.<br />
Also send us your previews for inclusion on our<br />
coverdisk.<br />
Also, if any commercial software company out there<br />
wants to distribute their titles for them here in<br />
Australia, please get in contact with us.<br />
We wil be establishing a homepage on the Internet at a<br />
later date. Look out for it.<br />
<br />
Write to us<br />
For anything concerning C.U. please write to us. Send<br />
a suitable sized stamped addressed envelope (or<br />
international reply coupon if writing from overseas)<br />
for free further information.<br />
