Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

E.U.G. - NEWS FROM THE ELECTRON USER GROUP
First published in Electron User Group #55
It's...The EUG They Tried To Ban
================================
THE article PROACTION THE FARCE, first published in EUG #48 then, as a
result of David Bradforth's insistence all emulated Superior Software
games must be removed from the internet (as they breach copyright),
posted on www.8bs.jml.net, was unanimously regarded in related e-mails
as one of the most classic EUG reviews of all time.
Bradforth, proprietor of PROACTION, and (apparently) editor of SMASH
TV, PC GAMES WORLD and RISC USER magazines, however was unimpressed by
my cartoony narrative of his (lack of) customer care and the reference
to his company as "a lumbering zombie that should've been the first to
die". In a move typical of what the emulation web pages have already
been subjected to, he sent EUG a strongly-worded email expressing the
article was factually incorrect, requesting its immediate removal from
cyberspace and demanding its deletion from the back issue plus apology
in an upcoming EUG. Failure would, he threatened, result in our learned
Ed being sued for slander.
As he'd included his telephone number, yours truly was quick to get
in touch and inquire just how he intended to sue in defamation relating
to a review which was completely true and also correct him in his legal
terminology (slander is spoken words, LIBEL is written ones). Oddly, he
pointed to no objectionable single statement nor did he profer any con-
vincing reason why he dealt with my order so ridiculously in the past.
What he did come up with, in the end, was a deal to fulfil my order
in exchange for a more favourable article. Thus began an unlikely (and
uneasy) alliance: This time he could be got hold of in person and, when
questioned whether he had ANY software in stock not supplied by
Superior, he was most insistent that he did: BBC compilations PLAY IT
AGAIN SAM 18, 19 and 20 plus the brand spanking new BBC/Electron game
UGGIES GARDEN.
In order to pacify him somewhat, the earlier EUG #48 article was re-
moved from the worldwide web. Off went a cheque for these four plus the
bargain offer of earlier PIAS tapes (offered to readers too via the
Advertisements/Mailbag menu of this disk). This time, back almost in-
stantly came UGGIES GARDEN, the PIAS bargain bundle and PIAS 19. (A re-
view of UGGIES GARDEN (a two-player 'repton-style' maze game where you
either help your friend or drop rocks on him) will appear shortly.)
Bizarrely though, the games of PIAS 20 (REPTON INFINITY, HOLED OUT
EXTRA COURSES 1, CLOGGER and SIM CITY) turned up in a separate envelope
in all manner of dribs and drabs. REPTON arrived on tape missing its
manual; SIM CITY on tape with inlay but no box; and the remaining two on
a 40T 5.25" disk (that didn't work). Bundled with them, presumably as a
present, was a WHITE MAGIC and KEY COLLECTION disk (ditto) and a ROM
chip of PRINTMASTER for the BBC. Dealing with David Bradforth was again
a strange affair.
The important thing to note though is that he does have the brand new
game UGGIES GARDEN up for sale on either 5.25" DFS disk or tape. As this
was to be a Superior release, its quality is more or less assured. He
also came through with the goods on all the PLAY IT AGAIN SAMs he's
advertising in this EUG. However, considering at the time of writing, he
still hasn't delivered PIAS 18, the 'more favourable' article he desires
can't yet make an appearance...yet.
The Electron Comes Of Age
=========================
THERE'S suddenly a new 'adult' category of the Electron archives thanks
to a brand new, extremely pornographic demo from THE HORNY ELK. Avail-
able on ADFS and DFS disk, the RAPE OF THE ALECTRO MODULE is quite the
most 'mature' Mode 1 slideshow, respendent with titles and scrolly mess-
ages ever seen by EUG.
The graphical extravaganza features seven digitised screens from the
animated Japanese film UROTSUKIDOJI III (and incidentally, snipped from
the UK release of it!) which were 'grabbed' by an Archimedes and,
according to the demo's producers, "dithered into identical hand-drawn
images (so more than four colours appear) and then passed over to a BBC
B." The result is a hardcore demo, complete with titles, scrolly mess-
ages, options and a "story", all far too explicit for EUG publication
[Although we enjoyed seeing it, we ARE a 'family'-based mag! - Ed] and
which premiered on the STAIRWAY TO HELL web site (a little after it was
rejected).
The authors, who are readers of EUG [We even get a mention in their
opening scroller - Ed] are wisely keeping their identities under THE's
psuedonym at the moment. Judging by this name however, their promise to
subject us to further demos 'guaranteed to blow [us] away' and the safe-
guards STH had to enact on their web page to prevent people downloading
ROTAM by accident, the unlikely Elk will seem in the eyes of some to
have become the sudden pioneer of a shocking 8 bit porn industry!
Look At All The New Adventures!
===============================
THE Electron emulator ElectrEm has reached version Beta 5a and is being
highly praised for its Graphical User Interface (GUI) and ADFS compati-
bility. www.stairwaytohell.com now has many very rare adventures in its
database (with more promised) for all Emulation fans.
