| | WANTED: Shaun Southern!! | | Posted by MIK on 2005-01-17 |
Are you Shaun Southern, are you a friend of Shaun, are you from another computer system scene and can help spread the word that Shaun Southern is a wanted man? If so then you might be the person who can help!!
Andrew Fisher a writer for the magazine RETRO GAMER - Retro Game.net is working on an article about Shaun Southern and would love to track him down for a chat so one of our Heroes can be added into the on-going bible of all things computery, our golden years as it were - RETRO GAMER! This may not happen if the Retro Gamer team can't get in contact so please if you can help in any way by letting either Andrew or Shaun know that would be great!
Maybe I should of followed up my leads back in 2000 when I got in contact with Magnetic Fields. The anonymous reply did know Shaun and offered me this image below. I'm kicking my self now because Shaun was most loved by all us C16/Plus4 gamers and you know how much he supported our system...
I can only hope Andrew gets in touch. Cheers!

| | C16.DE shut its doors | | Posted by Gaia on 2005-01-10 |
| It seems that the new year is not starting very well. After being updated less and less frequently, the best German C16/+4 site www.c16.de has been shut down. Although the short message states it being "temporary", who could possibly hope for a happy ending when the site had been sort of having its swan song in 2004 already. If some of our readers happens to have a follow-up, please refer to the forum. |

| | New TAP files! | | Posted by Csabo on 2005-01-04 |
Rüdiger created TAP images of a few multi-loader games. We have World Cup Carnival, with all the fancy stuff in front of the good ol' original. This is actually for two tape sides. We also have the only Epyx release, Championship Wrestling. Once you consider this multi-loader where you have to rewind each time you choose a wrestler, you can appreciate how cool the crack is. Nevertheless, the original tape images found a good home in our archive.
Rüdiger has one more surprise for you all: check out ACE +4, apparently there's a little-known built in cheat in this amazing game. Big thanks to Rüdiger for this cool stuff! |

| | P4PC FLI Converter by Larry! | | Posted by Csabo on 2005-01-03 |
| Larry/WLS just released his P4PC FLI Converter! Yes, it's the magical tool that created the pictures in the Drea-M-time series. It's a java program, and everything you need is included in the package. (I took the liberty of translating the included documents to English.) Time to start producing some high quality images! Will this give our demoscene that much needed kick? Remember to give credit, where it's due. Big cheers to Larry for this amazing utility! |

| | Club Info 84 | | Posted by Csabo on 2005-01-01 |
| Let's get the new year started nice and early. We have a leftover release from 2004: it's Club Info 84, the December issue of the German diskmag. Time to get those dictionaries out (or use this one), and start translating. Big thanks to Erich for the mag and to Luca for supplying it. |
