Editorial

Hello again! There was a great panic in the Medley household just
after the last issue went out when my ST decided to pack in. As
it's six years old, we thought we'd have to buy a new one but
there seems to be a great shortage of STs about. Help came in the
form of Paul Rossiter of C & P Rossiter who advertise ST repairs
in ST Applications. A bulky package winged its way north to
Nottingham and within no time at all, my old ST was back in
working order. The cost? Just œ25 plus carriage! So if you ever
have problems with your ST or drive or want an upgrade done, I'd
recommend you try Paul first. Contact him on 0602-631631, 9am to
8pm Wednesday to Saturday or write to C & P Rossiter, 48 Park
Drive, Hucknall, Notts, NG15 7LU. 

Thanks to everyone who returned a Red Herring leaflet since last
issue; the first issue is coming on well and is on target for
October. Marion and I are really pleased with the way it's looking
and we'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to the first

issue already. If you haven't returned your leaflet, there's still
plenty of time, of course! 

Last issue I had news about Red Herring and I've got news again
this time. From now on you can buy the range of Zenobi ST
adventures through SynTax. Four more of Jack Lockerby's titles have
been added recently and there are more games planned for the near
future. The games are being sold as licenceware so the authors
still get their royalty payments and I'm selling them as cheaply as
possible so that you'll all get the best deal possible. Though
other libraries will be selling them for œ3.99, from SynTax you'll
pay œ3.49 for a two-disk game or œ2.99 for single-disk games. I'll
let you know about new titles as they're added.

There's a shortage of screenshots this issue because I'm finding
them increasingly difficult to capture, with games either being
too heavily protected for Multiface ST to cope or the authors
using two different resolutions on the screen as happens sometimes
with STAC games. Luckily screenshots came low down in the list of
favourite sections of the magazine when the questionnaires were
returned. The only ones I could capture that were appropriate for
this issue were so old and well-known that it seemed better to use
the space for something else, rather than just stick them in for
the sake of it. Perhaps I'll have more luck next time.

Well, that's it. Enjoy the disk and see you in November.
