   Yeah! Here it is! Hello and welcome
into  this sixth edition of the famous
ST Collection!

   What's the  ST Collection?  It is a
compilation  of the best softwares for
the best computer: the Atari ST!

   You'll  found here  the contents of
this disk, some info on the main menu,
and so on.


<>----------------------------------<>


             THE CONTENTS
             -==========-


   What's inside  this disk?  Oh, just
some  games,  intros, demos, utilities
and musics.

      GAMES
      
   I have put four reflexion games and
one action game.

- BITTNER : it's a pretty shoot'em up,
coded  by  the  famous Michael Bittner
for a contest : the 3.5 Ko demo compe-
tition  of  the  ST News International
Christmas  Computer  Conference, which
took place during Christmas 1990... It
is  a really good game but beware: you
can't exit the game!

- FLIP  FLOP, PUZZLE SIDE  and TIC TAC
TOE : three games  very easy  to play.
They  were coded by G.A. Szekely. Read
the  doc ("GEMGAMES.DOC") if you  want
to have more information.

- REACTION : this strategy board  game
was coded by Cory Chapman. It is based
on  a  famous arcade game. Please read
the  doc ("REACTION.DOC") if you don't
know the rules of the game.

      INTROS
      
   You will found 7 intros:

- EUROSWAP CD 935 : hem hem yeah  it's
an  intro for cracked games... ! First
of  all  note that you must reset your
ST  after  running it because a medium
resolution main menu is so... ugly!

- FRESH DEMO CD 9 :  here is an  intro
made by a good contact of mine. You'll
notice some bombs at the end but it is
not very important!

- REFLECTION CD 3 : this intro was yet
in  the ST Collection 1 but Fresh, who
is a member of Reflection, asked me to
put it anew in an ST Collection. Press
F2 to exit this intro.

- REPLICANTS INTROS 1, 2 and 3 : these
little  intros were coded by the world
famous + Replicants + and found in the
"Reps and Rest" compilation by BOA.

- TSN CD 8 : this intro comes from the
Serious CD 8 by The Silent Noise.

      DEMOS
      
   Here are some smashing productions!

- AUDIO COOL SONGOKU : here is a funny
screen  for the Deadtro by Epsilon (my
ex-crew). STE only (well it runs on ST
but the DMA sounds doesn't work).

-  COLORS : it's a Core Design produc-
tion.  It consists of a plasma  with a
soundtrack  music  and a scroller. For
STF users: I don't know if this little
demo  works  on ST because it uses STE
colors.

-  DON'T  TOUCH THE SAW : this Offbase
production works on all ST/STE's. Well
I hope so because I have no STF but if
a  demo doesn't work on YOUR computer,
then you MUST contact me!

- FIREWORK : this little demo was made
by  Core Design and I HOPE it works on
STF!

      UTILITIES
      
   Here are some  public domain softs,
rename  them as .PRG files if you want
to  use  them without running the main
menu...

- ATOMIK PACKER 3.5 PATCHED : it isn't
the world famous packer: it's a Falcon
compatible  packer!  Note  that I have
written  a French doc for this patched
version.  On  the  disk you will found
"PATCH_35.DOC" and "ATOM_V35.DOC" text
files. All the executable files in the
ST Collection 6 were packed with it!

- REDZONE 2 : this is an  unregistered
version of a music player I have writ-
ten myself. I you like it, register!

- SPEED OF LIGHT 2.5 : a powerful  GIF
viewer!  Please  register if you enjoy
it.  The doc files are  "SPEEDOFL.1ST"
and "SPOFLT21.DOC".

- ST OPTION : a crazy shitty  software
coded  by  myself.  You  can use it to
change  the  Desktop colors or to test
if  a software runs from a GFA program
(for  example  if  you have made a GFA
main menu). The doc is a French one.

      MUSICS
      
   I have included few music files (to
be played with Red Zone).

       HOW TO USE THE MAIN MENU
       -======================-


   It is a mouse-driven menu. You just
have to click on general options (such
as  "GAMES" or "DEMOS") and then click
on the software you would like to load
and  run.  Moreover you can change the
screen  frequency  (BUT NOT ON A TT!),
have  some  info  on your system (this
main  menu can theorically work with a
640x400x16 resolution and even more!),
have a look at the greetings list...
   I hope you find this main menu very
easy to use, very ergonomic...!
