The Legendary Pink Dots ____________________________________________________________________________ [1] SOME WORDS SINCE LAST TIME by Phoenix/Vectronix ____________________________________________________________________________ The mailout of VexNews #20 was, to say atleast, a total disaster as you maybe noticed! Well, I guess that's what happens when you're "inactive" for 4 months and then all of a sudden try to do big wonders over one night. Oh well, shit happens! Let's forget about that and look forward instead. We're back with some small announcement of new (and old, but new, uhh?) releases only, and that's just about it for this time I'm afraid. We will be back soon I hope... ;) ____________________________________________________________________________ [2] NEW VECTRONIX RELEASES by Lon$dale/Vectronix ____________________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT : ARTWORX V1.61 GERMAN (C) A.S.H. CRACKER : PHOENIX/VECTRONIX PACKAGER: PHOENIX/VECTRONIX RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 The name suggests it already a little: ASH ArtWorx is a outstanding Illustrator. It is - as ASH Texel - a program, which corresponds to the current state of the art and must shrink from no comparison to programs on other platforms. Therefore one finds support of Drag&Drop, Iconify or also the OLGA log as ID4-Client and ID4-Server. That means it that for example a table can be inserted by Texel into a ArtWorx document and then all modifications, which are made with Texel at the table are updated also in the ArtWorx document. Likewise you can merge display formats in ArtWorx, which cannot at all load ArtWorx, if you have another program, which is a ID4-Server and which can load picture. But now to capability characteristics. ASH ArtWorx runs on ST/E, TT, Falcon and naturally optimally under MagiC, MagiC PC and MagiCMac. ASH ArtWorx supports all dissolutions and diagram cards. PRODUCT : ROADWAR 2000 + ROADWAR EUROPA (C) SSI SUPPLIER: SKINHEAD/I.C.S PACKAGER: LON$DALE/VECTRONIX RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Firstly please do note that both these games are ancient, first release was somewhat like 1986, ST version maybe a bit later... So the reason for this release is that there's just no 100% crack of these games around, and Metallinos wanted to get that stuff out to the public...although, in the DOC files it says that it's done exclusively for the Pirate Gold CD-R Vol. 2, but as I still only have about 190 megs of stuff together for that CD it'll still take a while until it's released -BUT it will be one day! Both Doc's are in wide format, so if you use a normal ST they'll be too big to read em on screen. About my savegames... well only people who take everything too serious will feel un- comfortable...never heard of Super Soaker before? I have tested these games only on standard ST hardware, so see for yourself if they work on Falcon or Emulators. I hope you got it that both titles are still password-protected - so you'll need the docs (alternatively you can also delete this archive). PRODUCT : MEGA MINES (C) 999 SOFTWARE SUPPLIER: ANONYMOUS PACKAGER: L0N$DALE/VECTRONIX RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 So this crappy little game says it's copyright 1996, but it seems nobody else ever dared to release this crap, and as Metallinos couldn't break away from "other important stuff" I finally decided to release it. BTW: It was unprotected! ____________________________________________________________________________ [3] FUTURE FTP DNS UPDATES by Phoenix/Vectronix ____________________________________________________________________________ As the FTP address is about to change soon again I just want to tell you how you will be able to access the site as smoothly as possible. Just in case if the DNS update will take some time, as it did last time. If there is no response from the normal FTP address this probably means it has been moved. Then please try the address below instead! This one will update within a few seconds, while the real DNS update may take up to a week if we're unlucky. This address is not permanent though, only use it if there is no response (password error) from the primary one! Primary: ftp://xxxxxxxxx.xx.xxx Secondary: ftp://xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx.xxx We are very sorry that the capacity of the FTP is quite low at the moment, and also that it can be quite difficult to log in! After the announcement in VexNews #20 alot of people realized the ftp was back after a long downtime, so this is the chaothic result of the downtime we're experiencing right now, but it will get better! Fear not... ____________________________________________________________________________ [4] DISTURBANCE by The Legendary Pink Dots ____________________________________________________________________________ We ride on the avalanche; we climb the melting red rungs of the ladder that leads high to a darkening moon. We're the watchers of disaster, we're the dancers on your tomb. We're the invisible invaders of your privacy... your dreams. We're the spectres on your screen. We murmur sweet transparent lunacy on hot oppressive nights - you shine a light and you will see just a shadow. ____________________________________________________________________________ The Vectronix News Mailing List (c) 1998 Vectronix, All Rights Reserved.
