Yeah, actually that's how I met Brian, through ordering a copy of his game,
which was brilliant. Then I started writing loads of stuff for the MAC
disks, and ended up being elevated to "sub-editor" or something, lol.
Brian was/is a great guy, and we used to spend hours on the phone
discussing programing and stuff (I live in Belfast too). We were planning
to start work on a few projects together, and I was writing, among other
things, an Alien Breed clone in Amos. I also wrote an agony column, with
some made-up "funny" letters, and some real ones that I received from
places as far away as Australia. It was great fun working on that diskmag,
and I was proud to be a part of it.
It was very different to disk-mags like Totally Amos, with it's rave music,
and funky graphics. Brian was a very talented programmer, and the disk-mag
engine was fantastic back then. Still got the source code for it here
somewhere, I should give it to you guys, because I don't think it was ever
actually released.

>days later all his computer equiptment was stolen and he had to spend
>most of the money buying new computers :(
Yeah, he used to work in a wee caravan/trailer-type thing in his back
garden before that. Big things were going to happen for him, Ashley (his
graphics man) and me, but then he got all his stuff nicked, and I dropped
out of the computer scene altogether for about 3 years, to drink beer and
smoke dope. Got back into computers last year, but sadly I'm not on an
Amiga. Yet 8)
I'm glad someone else remembers the good old days though, I know that Brian
put a lot of work into all his projects, and we both had a great laugh
working on the diskmag.
Oh God, I'm busting to fire up Amos Pro now, but my mates got my old
power-brick. It's a shame there was never an equivalent version of Amos
for the PC. When I first got on the net last year, I hunted around for
Amos stuff, and could only find something called "Multimedia Fusion" which
Francois had been working on. Seemed crappy though, not a real programming
language from what I could gather, and it never seemed to actually get
released.
Cheerio
