Well, this took a while to get released ...as Intric8 knows all too well! Credits for this intro go to Motion for code and graphics and the synthetic music by Frederic 'Fred' Hahn. This slideshow contains 44 images and can be booted from disk or launched from Workbench 1.x (Sorry, it's not compatible with WB 2.0 or Kickstart 2.x systems). From there you'll find Intric8's interview with James D. Sachs and a readme file with additional information and trivia. The slideshow is automated, but you can press SPACE to skip through quicker. The first time I'd laid eyes on Sachs work, was whilst browsing a SILICA SHOP software catalogue from August 1987. Amongst its pages it featured Defender of the Crown, Aegis Sonix v2.0, Aegis Animator/Images and Superbase Personal with the 'Sachs Castle' picture half overlayed. All very enticing. At this point in time I didn't own an Amiga. It was a distant dream and a thing of wonder, something I'd read about in Commodore 64 magazines of the time, or in scroll texts of C64 demos sourced from Compunet. The very first time I'd actually seen a Sachs picture displayed on an Amiga, would have been in the STARLINE SOFTWARE Megadisk in 1989. It featured the Amiga motherboard illustration in one of its many demo parts. That's enough nostalgia for now.
