..^U:DISKOVERY... DISKOVERY .. BY FENDER TUCKER... I SAW AN ADVERTISEMENT IN.COMMODORE MAGAZINE FOR A PROGRAM THAT.GOT ME THINKING ABOUT ONE OF MY.FAVORITE THINGS, A HELIX. TH E.PROGRAM WAS INTRIGUE, PUBLISHED BY.SPE CTRUM HOLOBYTE OF ALAMEDA,.CALIFORNIA. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE.ACTUAL PROGRAM YET, B UT THE BLURB.SAYS, "A MYSTERY IN BLACK A ND WHITE",.AND IT'S APPARENTLY A GRAPHIC S/TEXT.ADVENTURE THAT MIMICS THE ATMOSPH ERE.OF THE "FILM NOIR" MOVIES OF A FEW.D ECADES AGO... TED TURNER SAYS NO ONE WILL WATCH.A BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE ON TV .ANYMORE, AND HE MAY BE RIGHT, SO WHY.DO ES SPECTRUM HOLOBYTE THINK THAT.COMPUTER GAMERS WILL BUY A COMPUTER.PROGRAM IN B LACK AND WHITE? BEFORE.THE COLOR COMPUT ERS THERE WAS A.TEN-YEAR PERIOD WHERE GA MES WERE.CONCEIVED AND ENJOYED IN MONOCH ROME..WHEN COLOR BECAME AVAILABLE, EVERY ONE.BEGAN USING IT AND CREATING WHAT WER E.CONSIDERED MORE 'SOPHISTICATED'.PROGRA MS. IS INTRIGUE LESS.'SOPHISTICATED' TH AN THE OTHER.PROGRAMS ADVERTISED IN THE MAGAZINES?.. I DON'T THINK SO, WHICH IS WHY I.THOUGHT OF MY FRIEND, THE HELIX . IT.IS MY CONTENTION THAT EVERYTHING,. ESPECIALLY FASHION (I LIKE TO USE THE.TE RM 'COOL') PROGRESSES IN THE.SHAPE OF A HELIX, OR SPIRAL. IF.SOMETHING IS 'COOL ' NOW, YOU CAN BET.THAT PRETTY SOON IT W ILL BE.CONSIDERED UNCOOL AND THAT LATER ON.IT WILL BE CONSIDERED COOL AGAIN,.BUT , AND THIS IS THE CRUX OF THE.ARGUMENT, FOR A DIFFERENT REASON... PEOPLE FLOC KED TO BLACK AND WHITE.MOVIES IN THE 40' S BECAUSE THEY WERE.THE ULTIMATE IN SOPH ISTICATION. THE.NEXT FEW DECADES BROUGH T IN A NEW.SOPHISTICATION THAT MEANT GAR ISH.COLOR AND FEW PEOPLE WANTED TO SEE.T HE BLACK AND WHITES ANYMORE. I.BELIEVE WE HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE AND.THAT'S WHY THERE IS SUCH AN UPROAR.OVER COLORIZATIO N OF OLD MOVIES..MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE CUSP OF THE.SPIRAL THAT BELIEVES THAT TH E "FILM.NOIR" IS COOL AGAIN, AND THAT TH E.OPULENT COLOR OF THE 60'S AND 70'S IS. THE TRUE UNCOOL... THE SPIRAL WILL CO NTINUE TO TURN.BUT FOR NOW, I, FOR ONE, AM HAPPY TO.SEE SOMEONE HAVE THE GUTS TO PUBLISH.SOMETHING (A COMPUTER PROGRAM Y ET!).IN STARK BLACK AND WHITE. PERHAPS. OTHER GENRES WILL BECOME COOL AGAIN..IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE TO SEE.ADVENTURE GAM ES BASED UPON WORKS BY.JOSEPH CONRAD, F. SCOTT FITZGERALD,.VLADIMIR NABOKOV OR T HOMAS PYNCHON?.HOW ABOUT AN ARCADE GAME STARRING.TARZAN, DOC SAVAGE, OR PHILEAS FOGG?.. I GUESS THE MAIN THING TO ASK IS:.IS IT BLASPHEMY TO CONSIDER "STAR.W ARS" UNCOOL ALREADY? YOU TELL ME..WE HA VEN'T BEEN PRINTING TOO MANY.QUESTIONS A ND ANSWERS LATELY BECAUSE.MOST OF THE QU ESTIONS WE GET ARE.ABOUT HARDWARE COMPAT IBILITIES AND,.FRANKLY, I KNOW VERY LITT LE ABOUT.EXOTIC PRINTERS. I AM INTEREST ED IN.THE HELIX OF COMPUTER COOLNESS,.HO WEVER, AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT.YOU O UT THERE THINK ABOUT IT, TOO... IN AN Y CASE, DON'T WORRY THAT MY.PHILOSOPHIZI NG WILL SPILL OVER INTO.THE PROGRAMS WE PUBLISH. THE.PROGRAMS WILL ALWAYS BE US EFUL,.ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL; ONLY .THE STYLE MAY CHANGE, IF YOU WANT IT.TO .... **** END OF TEXT ****.
