PREVUE GUIDE NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD

[LightningLogos]

I'm with you,The 1993 music on Prevue Guide Rocked.

i remember hating prevue guide because of the trailers at the top. i didn't have showtime, cinemax, and hbo and i remember that was all they played.

ironically, now that i have those channels, the prevue guide is no more...not that i've used it the last few years anyways.

At the time, it was all booted from nothing more than a specially-made Amiga 2000 home computer via 3.5" floppies; later on, the Amiga 3000 was used to display the program grid. In 1994, Commodore International went bankrupt, forcing Prevue to disassemble the Amiga 2000 and 3000 and combine the parts into one more reliable (but still crash-prone) computer.

Before all this, though, Atari 130XE and Atari 600XL systems were used, and even the Amiga 1000 was used.

Don't Tell Mom was a great movie!

@4kf I kind of miss that, but the big disadvantage was having to wait on hold for almost 20 minutes sometimes.

It is indeed called "Opening Act", off of the James & Aster production music library (now defunct). Check my videos, I uploaded a full, CD-quality version of it,

Thank you for posting this! That music brings back wonderful memories of being a senior in high school and taking trips to check out various college campuses out of town. I came from a tiny Texas town with a tiny cable company that didn't have as many channels or special features, so getting to spend the night in a hotel somewhere like Austin and see things like this was a real treat.
