Hello. I am wondering if anyone knows what has happened to FTA? Are they still around, if so, what are they working on? what is their latest demo/game? Does anyone know what has happened to their book? Has it been released? If so, where can I order it? How much is it? what language is it in? Also, everyone seems to be voicing their opinion in reguards to what Apple is doing to the Apple // Range, but I am interested to know what the Apple // Programmers at Apple feel, people like Andy?

I have an FTA program, Modulae. It's a DEMO from 1990. It's ROM 3
compatible, loads in 15 sec. lasts for 45 min, and uses cool
sound/graphics. I'd like to get a catalog too if anyone has an E-Mail or
Snail Mail address..

As far as I know, the latest FTA offering is the Christmas Demo, a
light-hearted response to BullWinkle Moose's Summer Demo. It is basically a
collection of demos, each really nice.
If you have never seen the Christmas Demo, I suggest that you go to
any length to find a copy. This is by far the best demo that FTA has put
out for the IIGS.
After all, if Apple won't support the GS, it's a little reassuring
to know that somebody in France will! :)
If anyone knows of any FTA's that are out after the Christmas Demo,
please let us know. FTA never ceases to amaze me when it comes to tweaking
the GS to its highest potentials.
Now if only FTA would come out with a complete program,
anything, whether it be a game or other program, we could have the Mac
users crying themselves to sleep!
BTW, can someone post a list of all the FTA offerings to date? I'd like to
know which ones I need to get.

Just wanted to say that FTA are the most awesome GS dudes on the face of the earth (next to GSA and DYA of course). Also, I wanted to say that there are two mini demos on America On Line, but I don't know if they came out after the Xmas demo. swalker@phobos.unm.edu Apple rules so support it!

Oh, I also have another FTA game called Space Shark. It's like defender
although it's ALOT harder. Real good sound though. I know they've done some
more individually although I can't think of what off hand.

I KEEP SEEING THIS SAME COMMENT: >FTA??????? >I hope that they produce a game or something..possibly shareware or >just totally freeware, maybe? Demos are cool for awhile, but I'd like to >actually play something by them...They came close with Space Harrier, but They HAVE made a game (not a great game, but no one said they were great game-makers) Their game is called Mini Prix, released late last year. I think there are two versions although I only have the French one. The game is fairly self explanitory. There are docs but I think they're in French also. I haven't checked recently. So please, check your facts before making comments/ accusations like these. _ _ _ _ | | / ) | | | | | | / / _ | | | | | | / / (_) _ ____ ______ | | ______ _ __ ____ | | | |/ / _ | | / __ \ ./ ___ \ | | / ___ \ | | / \ / __ \ | | ___ | _ \ | || |/ / | || (_^_) )| | | (_^_) | | |/ /\_)| / \_)| |/ \ | | \ \ | || _/ | |(____ || | \ _____/__| _/ | | __| ___ | | | \ \ | || | | | \/\/) )| |_____ \ \____/ /| | | |__/ /| ( ) | |_| \_)|_||_| |_| ____/ / |_______) \______/ |_| \____/ |_| |_| (______/ AWG0971@RITVAX.ISC.RIT.EDU
