It's the little motivational things that really help...

Unpublished game by Jamie Woodhouse. Still better than ST version of Uridium !
Some Atari 'magician' guy complained about not crediting him and his work in resurrecting this game. More here.

So, what CJ did to make this game (Sideways prototype) more usable ? He added ULS (so called Universal Loading System) to ensure work from hard disks, higher TOS versions, on Falcon. The result: need for 1MB RAM. while game can run fine with 512KB. But enough of technical details.
CJ wants credits, so here are they: I credit CJ and D-Bug for underestimating and humiliating other's work, programs, HW solutions, articles, posts in forum etc. They did it many times. Examples: writing nonsenses and frightening comments (about destroying whole partitions etc.) about program in which people invested hunderts and hunderts hours of hard work, testings, communication with people, correcting some bugs, improving program by suggestions etc... Other example: CJ wrote 'priceless stupidity' about new solution for gaming from hard disks on Ataris with little RAM. I could here add at least 2 dozens of other examples, but it is enough. Visit their forum to read more idiotism and spitting.
On the other side, all what they do is : 'magic', 'state of art' and similar. But what they really did and do ? Only game adaptations and some demos (intros). So called ULS is not universal, and will never be. Something like that is simple not possible in real World. Name is just misleading, and Atari people may have irreal expectations from. But we see results already. So, I credit CJ, D-Bug for beeing self-conceited, not listening to other's opinion ones.
Then, CJ complains about lack of (positive) feedback, not crediting him and crew... So, I took chance, and credited him. This is best credit what I can do. Thanx for your time, dear reader. End of ranting

I'm not even going to bother wasting time to reply to that.
I love Atari - I always have, and I always will. I'll almost certainly keep pottering around with them for years to come, but the community is rotting away beneath our feet.. less and less is getting put back in.... and, frankly, I'm happy to not release anything again if this is the level of reception it gets.
So head on over to Hungary and leave all your messages of goodwill and support there.
