Oh bother! I forgot someone from the Contacts section, and the corresponding
links . . . this mail replaces the previous one. Sorry. :-\
Hi
After much concerted effort, the LW_Software file sees it's first pre-release. Ideally, I would like to add English translations for the Spanish articles, but apart from that, I have no more information/data at this end to add to the file.
http://www.projectaon.org/staff/simon/LW_Software.pdf (approx. 4.5 Mb)
Feedback is appreciated. And certainly needed! >_<
Things to do:
1. Contacts
There are a number of people we may wish to contact regarding the availability (or not) of the games:
a) FTL (regarding Amiga Mirror of Death) (German only) Links: http://www.aep-emu.de/user.php?op=userinfo&uname=AJM/FTL&module=NS-User http://retrozone.gamezone.de/phpbb2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3027&; http://www.gamezone.de/user_profil.asp?userid=9986
b) David Whittaker (regarding Amiga/Atari Mirror of Death; does he have a 16-bit version of the music?) Link: None
c) Ian Upton, Gary Patchen of Mr Micro Ltd (coders of Mirror of Death; re: Amiga/Atari versions of The Mirror of Death; code still exists?) Link: None
d) P Calver (former Audiogenic owner; regarding whether The Mirror of Death ever had an Amiga/Atari release) Links: www.onedaymba.co.uk http://www.lostcousins.com/pages/info/about_us.mhtml
e) Jon Hare (assigned: T. Pederick) Link: http://www.tower-studios.co.uk/about.htm
f) Audiogenic (re: Atari/Amiga version of The Mirror of death) Link: http://www.audiogenic.com/news.htm
2. Translation
There are seven pages of untranslated Spanish currently in the file; I would like to provide an English translation as an appendix. Since the magazine pages are rather graphics-heavy, this would probably work out at no more than two pages of English text.
3. Amstrad CPC / Amiga / Atari / C64 / MSX / PC magazine articles c. 1990-1991
I am interested in any articles from magazines for the foregoing formats relating to The Mirror of Death.
4. The game files
I am working on creating brief readme files for each of the games. Jon, since the Project Aon User License is not really usable, what should this contain? I'll continue to create the files by adding in all other information (such as instructions, etc.).
