Walker Demo II by Imaginetics & Radical Systems
Hello there,
First of all, apologies for the delay
of WALKER II Demo (ST),this was due to
several reasons,such as....
1. Some interesting Amiga software I
thought may help needed 'experimenting'
with it didn't help,but I had fun playing
with it..(lame).
2.I had a disk drive scare when it went
whirr,screech,klerdunk ! (acceptably lame).
3.An important ST animation file got itself
corrupted after 3 days of putting it
together..fortunately an Amiga copier sorted
it out !? (curiously lame).
4.Was getting fed up of seeing it every and
often 'went for a long walk' to get away
from it all (feebly lame).
5.Some friends kept coming round and playing
games which they considered 'very very
addictive (totally lame !!)
Well, that's the excuses out of the way...
Ok then, this is the follow up to the WALKER 1
Demo from Imaginetics,USA which in case you didn't
know or came from the planet XNFFGRLLPK were and I
still believe popular on the Amiga (1 meg).
Now both Walker 1 and 2 are here with us on the ST.
I must explain first that although Walker 1 was a
reasonable 'clone' sadly it's not entirely the case
of Walker II this is entirely due to the problem of
available memory on the ST.
Why does the Amiga WALKER II Demo work ok on a 1 meg
Amiga but the ST version not I hear you ask ?
It's really dead easy..it's because the Amiga original
has a pretty small and flexible control program to run it
This isn't true of the ST version due to the fact that
despite repeatedly requests to colleagues and other
programming people none of them can be bothered to write
me one as they are into their own things.(thanx guys!)
Had some nice helpful person come forward it would have been
more likely you would get it 100 per cent identical(he said).
If anyone and I mean ANYONE out there who feels they could
help out then I'd be a bit more encouraged to do more Amiga-ST
converts but my enthusiasm flags after a while trying to squeeze
these things into ram sometimes.
Anyway whinging over, here it is very slightly modified,true,but
the main guts are all there and that's what counts (as my local
psychopath would say).
There is good news with Mega ST owners however, as my very good
chum in Scotland is offering to stitch the COMPLETE 1 meg version
together which ironically needs more than 1 meg to run it...fun,eh?
Well that's all for now ,bye fer now...
