AGA Slideshow Maker 7.22

AGA SlideShow Maker (AGASSM) 7.22 was released in 1996 through the now defunct 5D Licenceware for the Amiga range of computers.

The following review appeared in Amiga Shopper in the April 1996 issue.

"A slideshow creator. Wow. OK, another one of my biased views bites the dust. This is a great little program. It reminds me of the excellent Nucleus, in that it combines power with a really easy to use interface.

Essentially, it comes with a creator and a player. You create the project and then distribute it with the player. As standard, the player can deal with IFF pictures and animations and a couple of module types.

Doesn't sound too advanced? Well, it also has ARexx support so that should you want to use something that it can't deal with, all you have to do is use a program that does support the format and use ARexx to communicate between the two programs.

If that sounds daunting, then don't worry, because you can still produce some excellent pieces without ARexx. Within the interface is the ability to choose the files and select how they will be shown, whether faded in or shown using a set of special effects (a little like M.M.Experience).

The program automatically recognises the file type, so it knows whether to play a module of show a picture. In fact, if you were starting out, you need know little more than how to select a file with a requester. It even supports powerpacked files to save disk space.

5D Licenceware are showing that some quality software can be released for a price that anybody can afford."

Verdict: 95%

AGASSM also appeared on the May 1996 Amiga Shopper Coverdisk and the July 1996 edition of Amiga Format CD Coverdisk.

If you, like us, still have an Amiga and you've never seen AGASSM, then you can download it 'as it shipped' (DiskMasher format) on the Amiga Format Coverdisk or as the archive exists on Aminet in .lha format.
