 WELCOME TO MENU 8 BY SLIPPERY SID AND THE #$%. RELEASE DATE: 22/10/90. WARNING; VERY LONG SCROLLTEXT... THE CODE IT WILL ASK FOR IS NUMBER 11, WHICH IS 'TRACKER'...                              CROSSBONES HERE AGAIN WITH YET ANOTHER BRILLIANT UTILITY, AND A PRETTY GOOD INTRO AS WELL...................... THE CONVERTER PROGRAM FOR AMIGA TRACKER MODULE CONVERSION IS ON THE DISK AS WELL, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO LOAD IT FROM GEM..........>> BEFORE I START BLABBERING ON, HERE'S A QUICK PLAN FOR THIS SCROLLTEXT, SO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN GO AND GET A CUP OF COFFEE.. FIRST, A NEW LIST OF THE MEMBERS OFF SSS.. SECOND, CREDITS FOR THIS MENU.. THIRD, SOME BLAH BLAH BLAH.. FORTH, THE MEGA GREETINGS, (A NEW LIST).. FIFTH, MORE BLABBER BLUBBER WEEBLE WOBBLE ETC.. SIXTH, THE NORMAL GREETINGS, (ANOTHER NEW LIST).. SEVENTH, WRAP WRAP WRAP.. BUT BEFORE THE FIRST, SOME NEWS.. THE PARTY AT MY HOUSE ON THE 12TH OCTOBER WAS MURDER... I INVITED 30 TO 35 PEOPLE AND MY HOUSE IS SMALL, HAVING EVERYBODY TURN UP, AND AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF GATECRASHERS, (YES THAT DOES EQUAL 70 TOTAL), CAUSED A FEW PROBLEMS!!! AFTER SOMEONE COMPLAINED AND TWO POLICE CARS, (COMPLETE WITH DRIVERS), TURNED UP TO CHUCK EVERYONE OUT, THERE WERE, SEVEN OF US LEFT TO TIDY UP, ME, THE PENGUIN, ADG, AND FOUR GIRLS, FOUR HOURS LATER, EVERYBODY ELSE HAD GONE HOME, AND I WENT TO BED.. SATURDAY, GET UP, GO TO TIDY UP THE BACK GARDEN, AND OH F**K, BOTH OF THE BACK DOORS HAVE BROKEN LOCKS, A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER AND AFTER A LOT OF DRILLING, I'M FINALLY FINISHING TIDYING UP, BUT WHATS THIS, A CRYSTAL ORNAMENT HAS LOST IT'S NOSE, A LOT OF 'OH F**KS' LATER, AND A LOAD OF SUPERGLUE, AND THE ONLY THINGS LEFT TO TAKE CARE OF ARE THE GLASS THAT ONE OF THE FOUR GIRLS BUST WHILE TIDYING UP, AND THE 3 DUSTBIN LINERS OF CANS AND BOTTLES TO DISPOSE OF, A QUICK TRIP TO A FRIENDS TO DUMP SOME OF THE RUBBISH AND I THINK I CAN FINALLY RELAX UNTIL MONDAY WHEN THE PARENTS RETURN.... SATURDAY NIGHT.. 23 PEOPLE FROM FRIDAY TURN UP AND ASK IF THEY CAN CONTINUE THE PARTY!! EVENTUALLY WE ALL JUST END UP WATCHING THE EVIL DEAD 2, (TOTALLY SICK AND UTTERLY HILARIOUS), AND THEN THEY ALL GO QUIETLY, (AT 1 IN THE MORNING (SUNDAY)).. SUNDAY NIGHT, (HAVING HAD ABOUT 8 HOURS SLEEP SINCE THURSDAY), 2 MORE FRIENDS TURN UP AND WE END UP TRYING OUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF FIREBOMBS IN MY FRONT GARDEN.. FINISHED THAT AND I DO MY MATHS HOMEWORK. (BED AT ABOUT 11).. MONDAY, GO TO SCHOOL CONFIDENT THAT MY PARENTS WONT NOTICE ANYTHING WHEN THEY GET HOME.. I GET HOME THAT AFTERNOON, AND MY PARENTS HAVE ALREADY SPOTTED THE ORNAMENTS BEING 1 INCH OFF POSITION, AND A MARK THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN SEE ON THE WALL!!! IF I'D HELD THE PARTY ON MONDAY THEY'D HAVE PROBABLY NOTICED LESS!!!!!!!                         PART 1........THE MEMBERS OF SLIPPERY SID AND THE #$%S.................... CAPTAIN HENRY MORGAN, OUR NEW FONTS MAN... SLIPPERY SID, YES, HE'S FINALLY ARRIVED... CROSSBONES, THAT'S ME FOLKS... BLUEBEARD... THE PARROT, SQUAWK SQUAWK... MOBEY DICK, THE LAZY BA***RD... THE CABIN BOY, WHO'S DISSAPEARED TO UNIVERSITY... LONG JOHN SILVER, A FRIEND OF THE PENGUINS... SKULL, THE OTHER CODER...                   PART 2.......CREDITS FOR THE MENU.......... ALL CODE, CROSSBONES... CODES HACKED BY CROSSBONES... ALL GRAFIX, RIPPED FROM JUMPIN JACKSON AND EDITED BY CROSSBONES... FONT, CROSSBONES. (CPTN HENRY MORGANS FROM NEXT MENU0... CODES REMOVED BY CROSSBONES... ORIGINAL (V.1.1) SUPPLIED BY THE CABIN BOY... MUSIC, FROM TCB TRACKER BY AN COOL... (SORRY I DIDN'T USE YOUR MUSIC RIPS ZIPPY, BUT YOU STILL GET A CREDIT COZ SKULL FORGOT TO ON MENU 6)... MUSIC ON MENU 6, RIPPED BY ZIPPY OF THE MEDWAY BOYS... DISTRIBUTION, BY YOU... (THANX FOR COPYING THIS DISK)...                            PART 3......BLAH BLAH BLAH............ CONGRATS TO ANDY THE ARFLING OF THE BBC ON BEATING US WITH DPAINT, SERVES ME RIGHT FOR HAVING A KNACKERED MACHINE AND TREATING SCHOOL AS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CODING...(IF I'D DONE IT THE DAY I GOT THE ORIGINAL I'D OF BEAT YOU)... ANYWAY, THATS IRRELAVANT, CONGRATS TO ANDY... I'VE JUST BEEN TO THE MOST BORING PHYSICS LECTURE EVER, BUT THATS UNIMPORTANT, I'VE ALSO JUST BEEN ON THE PHONE TO BLUEBEARD, AND HE'S GOING, (YOU'RE TELLING US!!)... (IF YOU ASK ME HE'S GONE ALREADY!!)... I MUST PROGRAM SOME OTHER SCROLLY WAVEFORMS SOMETIME... I HAD TO WASTE A 1000 DBF LOOP AT THE START OF THE SCROLL ROUT TO AVOID A RIP IN THE LETTERS!!!... I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MOST SCROLLTEXTS ARE WRITTEN AT ABOUT THE TIME THE POST MAN CALLS IN THE MORNING. I MEAN, HOW MANY SCROLLTEXTS HAVE YOU SEEN THAT SAY SOMEWHERE IN THEM, "I HAVE JUST RECIEVED MENU SO AND SO BY", I MEAN, THIS CANNOT ALWAYS BE TRUE... BACK IN MAY, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE WRITING ASSEMBLER PROGRAMS BY OCTOBER, (BACK IN MAY I NEVER THOUGHT I'D WRITE ANY PROGRAMS)... YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, BUT SINCE MENU 6, THERE HAVE BEEN NO GAMES ON OUR MENUS, THIS WILL SOON BE RECTIFIED, AS I HAVE GOT, AND HAVE HAD FOR SOME TIME, THE FOLLOWING GAMES LYING ON MY DESK, ALREADY HACKED, AND WAITING TO GO ON A MENU::: BATTLEHAWKS 1942, LOMBARD RALLY, OUTRUN, DEFLECTOR, BIONIC COMMANDOES, HARD DRIVIN', AND INTERPHASE.  AND PLENTY OF OTHERS ALMOST READY... ALSO ON FUTURE MENUS YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE LOADSA TRACKER MODULES, (TRANSFERED FROM THE AMIGA), AND EVEN SOME GRAFIX MAYBE, AND SOME SOURCE TO GET ALL POTENTIAL INTRO CODERS UNDERWAY... THE REASON I'VE DONE TCB TRACKER, IS COZ NOBODY ELSE WILL, WHY? THE BEST FORM OF COPY PROTECTION YET MAYBE?    WELL, YES, MPH GAVE ALL THE MAJOR GROUPS FREE COPIES IN RETURN FOR NOT PUTTING IT ON A MENU... WELL, I DIDN'T GET ONE, SO IT'S ON MY MENU... JUST DON'T FORGET US NEXT TIME MPH... THANX GOTO YOU KNOW WHO FOR THE HINTS... BY THE WAY, THE VOLUME BARS AREN'T PROPER VOLUME BARS, THEY'RE JUST SET HIGH EVERYTIME A NOTE IS PLAYED, AND THEN THEY DROP BACK DOWN SLOWLY... I'M AN EGOTISTICAL ARROGANT MADLY INSANE MANIC DEPRESSIVE!!!....... AND PROUD OF IT....... RADION RADION RADION RADION.......... GLOVES GLOVES GLOVES GLOVES.......... DO WHAT???????????????????????????? THERE WERE TOO MANY QUESTION MARKS THERE, SO I'LL BALANCE IT OUT WITH LOADSA SPACES.....                            PART 4......THE NEW MEGA GREETINGS LIST......

ALL SCHIZOPHRENICS, (YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE PART OF THE GROUP), (AND YES IT IS THE RIGHT SPELLING)... AND FINALLY, TO ALL THE DISTRIBUTORS OF SSS MENUS...                           N.B. WHO AM I???                      PART 5.........MORE WHATCHAMACKAULUM.... THE MANUAL IS TO FOLLOW SOON... IT HAS BEEN PROVED, BY MYSELF, THE PENGUIN, AND ADG, THAT DUE TO THE WAY THE UNIVERSE IS DESIGNED, SOMEWHERE, THERE IS A CREATURE WITH MY NAME TATTOO'ED UNDER IT'S RIGHT ARMPIT!!!!!!!!!......... DO WHAT???, WE STARTED OF BY PROVING THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS INFINATE AND ETERNAL... HOW IS UNIMPORTANT FOR NOW, MAYBE I'LL EXPLAIN IT LATER... BUT IN AN ETERNAL AND INFINATE UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING HAPPENS... THEREFORE, SAID THE PENGUIN, AT SOME POINT IN AN INFINATE UNIVERSE, THERE MUST BE AN INFINATE NUMBER OF PENGUINS... JUST INCASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, AN INFINATE AMOUNT OF PENGUINS, WOULD FILL AN INFINATE AMOUNT OF SPACE, AND INCASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED, EACH CUBIC MILLIMETER ON EARTH DOES NOT CONTAIN PENGUINS, THEREFORE, THERE ARE NOT AN INFINATE NUMBER OF PENGUINS, WHICH PROVES THAT THE UNIVERSE IS NOT INFINATE... HOWEVER, WE THEN WENT ON TO PROVE AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT THE UNIVERSE IS INFINATE BY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT METHODS... WE CONCLUDED THE MATHS LESSON WE HAD DISCUSSED THIS IN BY SAYING THAT THE UNIVERSE IS INFINATE AND ETERNAL, BUT THAT IN AN INFINATE AND ETERNAL SPACE, YOU CANNOT HAVE AN INFINATE AND/OR ETERNAL OBJECT OR EVENT... THE MATHS TEACHER BY NOW HAD NOTICED WE WERE NOT DOING MATHS WORK, AND ASKED US WHAT WE WERE DOING, WE REPLIED BY SAYING WE HAD BEEN DISCUSSING CHAOS, FRACTALS, MANDELBROTS ETC., AND PROCEEDED TO PROVE TO HER THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS INFINATE... (THE MANDELBROT UNIVERSE *IS* INFINATELY COMPLEX) (AS ARE FRACTALS)... FOLLOWING THIS, WE ADDED THAT AS IN AN INFINATE UNIVERSE EVERYTHING HAPPENS, ALL CHAPTERS ON PROBABILITY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM TEXT BOOKS, AS IT IS NOW IRRELEVANT, COZ EVERYTHING ALWAYS HAPPENS... I.E. THINGS WILL NOT PROBABLY HAPPEN, THEY WILL HAPPEN... N.B. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND, IF THE UNIVERSE IS INFINATE AND ETERNAL, AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, THEN WE COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG!!!! NEXT MENU I'LL TALK ABOUT TIME TRAVEL AND SOME OTHER PERFECTLY FEASABLE ASPECT OF CERTAIN PHILOSOPHY'S, (I.E. THE FACT THAT IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT NONE OF US ARE REALLY HERE)............... SORRY THERE'S NO INTRO PICCY TO THE INTRO, AND NO RESET ROUTINE, AND NO SCREEN FADING, AND NO RASTERS OR BORDER ROUTINE, BUT WITH THE FIRST THREE OF THOSE THINGS I JUST COULDN'T BE BOTHERED, AND THE LAST TWO AREN'T THERE BECAUSE THE TCB TRACKER ROUTINE USES TIMER B, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE USED IN THE PAST FOR MY RASTER AND BORDER ROUTINE, (I HOPE YOU GOT ALL THAT)... THERE'S A HIDDEN SCREEN ON THIS MENU, AND IF YOU TYPE IN THE FOLLOWING WORD WHILE HOLDING DOWN SHIFT, YOU WILL GET TO SEE THE SUB MENU..... BUBBAHUBBAWEEBLEWOBBLESCHIZOPHRENIOPHSYCOSIS-ISAFUCKINGWORDYANDWONDERFULDISEASEBLOBBLOBBLURB... (I NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY DID I???)...         HAS ANYONE GOT MENU 5, NONE OF US HAVE GOT COPIES OF IT AND WE DESPERATELY NEED IT... IF YOU HAVE A COPY OF OUR MENU 5 PLEASE TRY AND PASS IT BACK TO US THROUGH YOUR CONTACTS...        SORRY TO STE OWNERS TRYING TO GET THIS MUSIC IN STEREO, BUT I ONLY INCORPORATED THE NORMAL PLAYBACK ROUTINES INTO THE MENU... THIS PLAYBACK ROUTINE IS A BA***RD, IT USES HALF THE REGISTERS, THE TIMER B INTERRUPTS, AND EVEN PLACES ITSELF ON THE VBI. THE REGISTERS IT USES MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE BIOS, XBIOS, OR GEMDOS CALLS, SO I'M HAVING TO GO STRAIT FOR THE HARDWARE REGISTERS FOR MY SCREEN DATA AND KEYBOARD INPUT ROUTINES... A COUPLE OF MESSAGES TO SKULL:- NICE MENU 6, PITY YOU FORGOT TO CREDIT ZIPPY WITH THE MUSIC, BUT IT WAS STILL A LOT BETTER THAN YOUR FIRST MENU... CONGRATULATIONS ON EDITING THE SCROLL SOURCE AS WELL AS YOU DID... BUT WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THOSE BARS AT THE THE SIDE THAT MAKE YOU FEEL SICK IF YOU LOOK AT THEM FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SECONDS... ALSO THANX FOR CREDITING ME WITH SOME OF THE CODE... MESSAGE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO MANAGED TO GET THAT WORD DOWN FOR THE HIDDEN SCREEN, AND HAVE TRIED OUT.......... YES, I KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK, I WAS ONLY KIDDING (HA HA)......
