Review: Sci Fi Sensations 2
===========================================================================
Review: Sci Fi Sensations 2
Gerard Sweeney gss@arts.gla.ac.uk
===========================================================================
I've just received Sci Fi Sensations 2, and was shocked at what I found..
It is 95% of a carbon copy of Sci Fi Sensations #1.. In fact, it seems
they've added very little, and removed quite a lot from the original Sci Fi
Sensations #1 for Disk 1, and just re-issued Disk 2!
Read on for the full details.........
These are the interesting files on Sci-Fi Sensations 2 NOT found on Sci-Fi
Sensations 1....

SAMPLES
README.TXT
Note:- For some obscure reason, the samples are now only in
Amiga IFF format in the subject directories while
WAV formats have been lumped together in separate
directories called WAVS1 and WAVS2 , thus making it
more difficult for PC users to use the subject dirs,
and more difficult for Amiga users to use the WAVS
dirs... What was wrong with the dual-format idea in
Sci-Fi #1????

DISK 2
======
Disk 2 of Sci Fi Sensations #1 and #2 are not just slightly similar, they
are IDENTICAL. I did a file comparison, a directory comparison, and then
when I still wasn't convinced, I created a filelist for both CD's (using
LIST ALL), then used a file compare which compares two files of equal
length (which these were incidentally), and there were NO differences at
all..
*** END OF CD COMPARISONS ***
So, what does all this mean? Is Sci-Fi Sensations an upgrade disk as it
claims on the CD.. I'd have to say no.
Upgrade implies getting a lot of new files. As it stands you only gain
about 90 MODS, the quality of which can only be described as laughable.
Oh, you do get some WAV samples, most of which are of similarly poor
quality as the MODs. Do either have ANYTHING to do with Sci-Fi? As a
rule, no. I'm sorry but simply because the MODs have the word SPACE in
them doesn't count (eg. a MOD ripped from a SPACEballs demo), and if the
compiler of this CD can REALLY stand there and tell us that (poor quality)
samples of things like car horns, belches and even the built-in samples
from Microsoft Windows have anything to do with Science Fiction, then
he/she shouldn't be compiling Sci-Fi, they should be WRITING it!
While on the subject of samples, the organisation can be classed quite
neatly as a joke. Some samples are saved off as Amiga IFF's, and split
into categories (though I use this term in its broadest possible context),
while a whole batch of others are dumped without thought into "WAVS1" and
"WAVS2". The result is that Amiga owners can't use the samples in the WAVs
drawers without a converter, and PC users face the same problem vice-versa.
