A degas dabble!

Check this out, folks! Marc Johnson needs no introduction but look at what he created for me when fed with chiptunes (and a bottle of wine). Thank you mate, this is an awesome logo. Absolutely superb STuff!!

Crime Wave

Well, I tried...

You know me, I love the Atari STe so am always on the hunt for games, demos and programs that make use of its enhanced hardware. Well, I was flicking through ST Format #58 and noticed a review of a game called Crime Wave, by Dillon Agoma. It appears similar to Super Cars and makes use of hardware scrolling! However, the reviewer didn't seem too pleased with the controls so perhaps it was a work in progress?

This is a tough one to research because its name is the same as a commercial US Gold game! Plus no PD library stocked it as Crime Wave was only available directly from the author. I've searched online but found no downloads or information. I have written and posted a letter so I hope he is living in the same house!

Update: I have managed to contact Dillon...

• June 2016: This is the date I originally posted the letter!
• Feb 2017: Sadly, I never received a reply to my letter. (I later found out that he had moved!)
• July 2017: I managed to contact Dillon online and he thinks his disks are still in storage :-)
• Oct 2017: Nothing turned up there, but he now hopes that those disks are in his attic.
• April 2019: I've sent Dillion another message but sadly I've heard nothing back. I hope he's okay but I'm now starting to think this piece of ST history is now lost forever.

• Jan 2020... Perhaps I should give up? I am gutted :(
