CU Amiga Magazine Announces Release of TFX

At last, TFX will be released! Not only will it be released but it will only cost £5.99 (International prices will differ) and come with the World's best Amiga Magazine attached to it. Yes, it's true. TFX will be on the October CD-ROM issue of CU Amiga Magazine. There's no catch, no scam, the Amiga's legendary unreleased flight sim can be yours soon.

As you'd expect, we've been bombarded by E-mail, letters and calls about this. Here's a mini TFX FAQ which should answer most of your questions.

• Q. Will it be the full version?
  A. Yes, as far as was completed. 100% working although slightly buggy in places. It's a blinding game!
• Q. Will TFX be on the floppy disks as well?
  A. At the moment, no. We are doing our best but don't hold your breath, it's quite large.
• Q. What kind of machine does TFX need to run?
  A. Any AGA Amiga with the 2MB of Fast RAM and a hard drive though of course the faster the better. There are FPU and 68040 versions but it does not run on the 68060 at this time, we're working on fixing this.
• Q. Why wasn't TFX released?
  A. At the time an (fast) AGA Amiga with a hard drive and Fast RAM was considered to be too small a market. These days this isn't a problem.
• Q. Why are CU Amiga giving TFX away?
  A. Because we can, because we know you want it and because we're the Best Amiga Magazine in the World.
• Q. Wont covermounting games harm the Amiga games industry?
  A. Yes, if we did. However we wont be covermounting commercial Amiga games. TFX the exception as it was never released. It does serve to prove what can be done on today's Amigas.

TFX is the first of many spectacular events lined up for CU Amiga in the near future. As usual you'll find the highest quality commercial application software, unrivaled technical reviews, in-depth original features and much more besides.

TFX, and the considerable effort CU Amiga expended in order to bring it fruition, demonstrates our continued commitment to the Amiga. Further information (and screen shots) can be found at CU Online.
