Sanxion
Thalamus/Soft Storm Developments (c) 1989

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------


   Here's a thing many of you will not know, but the loading screen
   for Sanxion is not the original art work submitted by the artist.
   The loading screen had to be modified before Boots (the chemists)
   would allow their stores to sell it. Aparrently they were afraid
   that the artists emblem; a smiley face surrounded by mirrored 
   "J"'s ( the artists first initial ); would induce children to take
   drugs. Remember the 80's and Acid House? It's like saying that
   playing Quake 2 and spending all your time on the internet turns
   you into gun totting homicidal nerds. Sound familier? It seems
   that peoples paranoia never disipates, it just needs a fresh scape
   goat. 
   You may think this is made up. But beleive me I know it is true
   because I was there. That is why I have included a .TZX file
   containing the original and the altered screen. Now see the
   difference.
   To load the screen select Sanls.TZX from the menu and type:-

   10 LOAD "" SCREEN$
   20 PAUSE 0
   
   run this and see the difference.
