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).

Centauri released the world-famous Logo-Editor (Logo Editor V1.2), which was actually ripped by Elvin in 1988 (see Sirius Improved Graphic Editor by TSH - Sirius) from a game development tool, if I remember well) and Henry added the disk menu to it.

Btw, I don't remember Henry being in the charts at all. He was briefly in WWE with me, then joined G*P and kinda disappeared from my view .. do you remember what mags those charts were from?

Putting a Comment about where the original code comes from like you did should be enough.


Saw your site, nice idea and remember 2 games on my disks
you've not in your lists..
But these would be hard to find as i don't know there names
at the moment.. But who knows in some years they could be added here or on your side possibly.

Puh what a hard question after all the years but in my mind comes Sex'n'Crime, Action News f.e. But i'm not sure..
We've to find it out if we want to know in 2007.. :(

I remember that in the same mag was an article about "his" new
tool..

Hmm, I guess that was in 1989 so that limits the number of mags we have to check to only a few hundred or so ;)

I think it also was Henry that added the bit-shining and char/font conversion functionality.. On the other hand, it could easily have been TSH/ Ventura as he produced several (mostly unreleased) gfx tools throughout the years..

@Barracuda: Although I joined Centauri when the Arnhem members already left the scene, Henry has never claimed to have written the editor (neither did TSH/ Ventura) as far as I know. Then again, it is not very hard to develop such an editor, so what the heck are we talking about.. ;)

I never said that he claimed to having written the editor.
I add this only as info and want to know more about..
In my eyes a lot of the sceners don't know that it was
the Activision Tool and thought it was Henrys work.
Taking a closer look at the credits i ask the question if the credits coding can be given to him or only credits for improving.

That's all..

In that case you can change a lot of credits for tools, like crunchers, notewriters, even music editors.

Like Ben stated, Henry actually added stuff, the conversion functionality was all that I ever used of that tool myself. So his credits for 'code' are right in my eyes.
