 WELCOME TO WHAT IS QUITE POSSIBLY MY LAST ARTSTATE RELEASE FOR THE AMIGA, 'JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER'.  A CELEBRATION OF CLASSIC MUSIC FOR OUR BELOVED MACHINE.  PRESS F1-F10 TO SELECTS TRACKS.  CREDITS GO TO MOTION FOR CODE, GRAPHICS AND TEXT.  JUDGE DROKK FOR TEXT AND THE ORIGINAL A.I. IMAGE BEHIND THIS SCROLLER AND TO MOTION FOR EDITING AND CLEANING IT UP ON THE AMIGA.  THE TRACK PLAYING ON BOOT IS A CLASSIC BY 4-MAT, 'JAM SESSION'.  I'D NOT HEARD THIS TRACK BEFORE AND JUDGE DROKK SENT IT ACROSS FOR INCLUSION ...AND A MIGHTY FINE CHOICE IT IS, TOO.  I'LL THROW THE KEYBOARD OVER TO MR DROKK AND TRY NOT TO GIVE HIM A BLACK EYE THIS TIME, AS HE HAS A FEW THINGS TO SAY..... I'LL POP BACK AFTER HE'S HAD HIS SAY.....  CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?  IT'S ALMOST 2024 AS I WRITE THIS, WHICH MOST LIKELY MEANS THAT MOTION OF ARTSTATE WILL HAVE CODED TWO MORE RELEASES WHILE HE WAITS FOR ME TO FINISH THIS MESSAGE... AND I ONLY GOT THE MEMO 3 HOURS AGO. LOL!  I SIT TO WRITE THIS AFTER CATCHING UP WITH MY TWITTER NOTIFICATIONS (WHO GOES AROUND CALLING IT 'X'? NOBODY - AND THEY NEVER WILL!).  WHILE I WAS THERE, I NOTICED THAT A RECENT MEME I POSTED HAD JUST TICKED OVER 618 LIKES FROM 28 THOUSAND VIEWS.  THE JOKE IN THE MEME WAS 'IF PAYING FOR GAMES IS NOT OWNING THEM, THEN PIRACY IS NOT STEALING'.  OF COURSE PIRACY HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A TOUCHY SUBJECT.  ONE WHICH ANDREW HEWSON, JEFF MINTER AND EVEN THE LATE GREAT BEN DAGLISH HAVE AND HAD WIDELY VARYING OPINIONS ON.  THIS SCROLLER ISN'T INTENDING TO REHEAT THE DEBATE, BUT JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF LIKES, THERE IS STILL NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO WHAT SOME LIKE TO THINK OF AS A 'PROBLEM'.  THE PEOPLE WHO POO-POO YOU FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT SNIGGER 'KNOWINGLY' WHEN YOU MENTION 'X-COPY'.  IS IT MORALY WRONG TO CHALLENGE THE RETORT, 'BUYING GAMES PAYS THE DEVELOPERS!'?  WELL, RAISTLIN OF GENESIS PROJECT MANAGED TO RETIRE AS A MILLIONAIRE TO THAILAND WITH LESS THAN 30 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY, SO 'SOMEBODY' GOT PAID.  YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY THE RIGHT GAME.  ANDREW HEWSON HAS LUCRATIVE I.P. FOR GAMES PRODUCED BY OTHERS WHO TELL ME THEY GET NOTHING EACH AND EVERY TIME THEIR GAMES ARE RE-PUBLISHED.  MR HEWSON ALSO HATES PIRACY.  AS I SAY, PLAY THE RIGHT GAME AND YOU'LL BE A WINNER TOO.  LOVE YA TILL LATER...  YOUR HAMMER WEILDING, DRAGON BAITING AND LAW ABIDING FRIEND, JUDGE DROKK .....MY LAW THAT IS.  HE'S SUCH A REBEL!  SO, WHAT WAS I GOING TO SAY? OH, YES!  LOOK ON THE DISK FOR THE FULL TRACKLIST.  IN OTHER NEWS, LOOK OUT FOR FIXED VERSIONS OF MY SID MUSIC DISKS, SUCH AS 'ROB HUBBARD'S 1985 RECOLLECTION' AND 'FOR THE LOVE OF BEN'.  THEY'LL DROP IN 2024, BUT WON'T COUNT AS NEW RELEASES.  .....AND REMEMBER, ONLY AMIGA MAKES IT POSSIBLE! (...THAT AND A GREAT CUP OF TEA!)  MOTION SIGNING OUT.
