We're delighted to extend our Reader Disk concept to offer a CD-ROM as
an alternative - we're the first UK Atari magazine to ever do this!
Already over half our subscribers take the Reader Disk and for a limited
period only at no extra cost we're offering existing Reader Disk
subscribers the chance to swap Reader Disks for CD-ROMs!
About the CD-ROM
- CD-ROMs are only available to Atari Computing magazine subscribers.
- The CD-ROMs are compiled by the French STraTOS magazine and the
exact content is beyond our editorial control.
- Within the limitation mentioned above each CD-ROM should include:
- HTML versions of most articles from the preceding issue of Atari
Computing.
- Reader Disk contents of the previous Atari Computing issue.
- HTML version of the current French STraTOS multimedia magazine.
- Collection of international shareware compiled by STraTOS.
I'd to take advantage of this offer now!
Individual back copies of the Reader Disk and CD-ROM are available.
Refer to the offers page for more details...

enables programs run from STOS to display the GEM desktop along with a
working menu bar and desktop accessories!

Line Raiders is a "Tronn" style multi player game which runs in a
GEM window in any resolution using any TOS compatible OS.
The object of the game is to move your line around the screen,
avoiding obstacles and other players, and to capture other players
bases. When you do this, that player is suspended from the current
level and the last player left alive is the winner.

Reader disk problems
|
In the unlikely event that a Reader disk won't load or gives you any
other problems, disconnect all peripherals, switch off your computer for
at least 20 seconds and try again. If this doesn't solve the problem,
return the disk to Atari Computing clearly labelled "Faulty Disk". Your
disk will be replaced and returned promptly.

Make a back up!
|
To make it easy to back up your Reader disks a copy of
ACBAKUP.TOS, specially programmed by Ofir Gal, is included. Simply
run ACBAKUP.TOS and follow the on-screen instructions; the program
even formats the disk for you. We recommend you always store your
original disks in a safe place and don't use ACBAKUP.TOS for any
other purpose.
