The Centauri Logoeditor
It was one of the best fakes in the 90's in my eyes as Henry was very high in the charts as coder.
The truth was he used the scene maker from the Gamemaker
which was done by Activision (4/86). |

@Barracuda: I responded to your first post; I miss the grounds for labeling this release as a 'fake'.. I mean, there is no need to blame it on Henry.. On the other hand, I agree that a link to the original is nice even if it just for the records.. ;)
Case closed? ;)

@Benn - I call it a fake because of some german diskmags
which report over "his" new editor, as there were fakemags
around or other reasons and as the editor from Henry was so late.. ACTIVISION 1985.. :)
Case closed..

I think it's mostly newer guys in the scene who wouldn't realize where it came from, as they might not have ever seen the original. Us dinosaurs probably all tried our hand at making some game with Gamemaker when it was new ;)
It's a handy editor for 3-color stuff, btw. I did all my logos with it until I started using Project One. It does lack a few features, though. (Color arranging, for example)

it was 4-colour stuff from 16 possible colours. :-)
You need only the keyboard to save a file otherwise you
work with your joystick. There was a trick to write texts
in your picture.. It was the "Scenemaker". |

What the hell?!?
So all this means that Henry didn't code it in the first place? He hacked it instead? I never knew about this before until now! |

mostly programs under copyrights were hacked and then
improved a little bit and sold as Public Domain program or
spread around as you could read here in this thread.
Worked well and was fun. The cops were blind and not able to say something about.. Take a look in old computermagazines
and you found the originals, if you don't know them..
:-)
A good example was Disk Devil a wellknown Toolcollection..
Would be fun to write here in CSDB as a comment
what's the original, who did that and when..

The intro to Centauri Logoed is burnt into my brain. At least the bit until it lets you press space :) |

The intro scrolltext was quite humourous: "...you have to crash your daddy's car really hard towards a wall, because any dummy can use this..." , so it was meant to be better than Turbo CAD? HMmmmm... |

Well, at least it was easier to understand for me than AutoCAD, which I was also using at that time @ school .. |
