RAISTLIN'S MESSAGE-BOX JULY 90 ---------------------------------------- Coding : Kreator Charset : Kreator Music : 4-Mat Logo : Lils of Intuition Text : Raistlin ---------------------------------------- Press Right mouse-button to flip pages and Left mouse-button to exit... ---------------------------------------- Welcome to the first in a series of 'message-boxes' in which I, RAISTLIN of ANARCHY, will write about all kinds of things, ranging from messages for my contacts to personal views on controversial subjects, etc... Anyway, we'll see how things develop as I go on... Please note however that this is definately NOT another magazine - I saw enough of those on the C64 to last me a lifetime! OK, here I go with a few notes to pals and contacts of mine... Mr.Big and Judge Drokk of Anarchy... Thanks for taking me on as a member of Anarchy guys! I will learn 68000 over the summer-break, so you may see something in the way of a demo from me soon!!! Phone us soon OK! Mole of Anarchy.. Thanks for all the hot warez (cliche or what?)... Keep the Mole-packs coming, they are always cool! Hammer of Anarchy.. Well, what can I say? I guess you read in the message to Mr.Big and JD (Don't you know it's rude to read other peoples mail?...) that I will learn to code in 68000 over the summer-hols... I doubt I will be able to do anything good enough for the Anarchy-mega-demo in time, but you never know!... Kreator of Anarchy.. Why am I writing a message to you when you sleep in the room across the hall from me?!? (You are my brother after all!!!)... Anyway, good luck with the filled-vectors-intro! Cowson of Rubidium.. Hmm, not a bad sending, but you obviously aren't very interested in swapping!.. Anyway, write soon! Pioneer of Anarchy.. I guess you won't be too pleased about being greeted so low down... (hehe!) You will get this 'demo' (?) sometime around your birthday, so I might as well say "Happy Birthday" (I'll probably forget on the day (whenever that is?...)) Edward of SCS.. Ta for driving us home so many times!... Why not get Pioneer to show you how to code demos so you can join Anarchy? (You have to be good to join the elite... (?!?)) Nosah of DCS.. Shame you had to quit the scene, you were one of the best... Igor of Anarchy.. Nice talking to you on the phone... I express myself better on paper, honest! I like your music anyway!.. (well, some of it...) Your logos are really cool, I hope we can work together when I finally learn to code on Amiga! 4-Mat of Anarchy... I haven't contacted you yet, mainly because John and Mike have kept me up to date with your (quite superb) music!... You are one of the best musicians on the Amiga, up at the top with 'Dr.Awesome' and 'Romeo Knight'! Robert Brammeld.. I have never really tried to code a full game on any computer - I don't have much patience you see... I like to get things finished as fast as possible (a lot of guys complained that I wasn't using my full coding capabilities releasing (averagely cool) C64 demos every other week!... Maybe someday I will code a game, but I'm not sure I'd like to code one on C64 for Mirrorsoft, but we'll see... Andy Partridge.. Sorry I couldn't code that C64-disk-magazine for you, but I didn't think it was a feasible project... You can't have been too sure about it yourself after the 'offer' I made you!!! Bizzmo of Genesis Project... Hi Doug!, hope you will send me the 'letter-sheet' soon - I've finally found a (fairly) cheap photocopying place! Send the GFX too! (Car and Anarchy logo) Deek of Genesis Project... Hey Richard, I'm not back on the C64 quite as soon as you expected! (and I never will be back...) Why not come back to the Amiga, it really isn't as bad as you said!!! Hybrid of Omicron UK... Thanks for replying so fast, your sending was quite cool, keep it up!... Antichrist of Genesis Project... Hey Frank, sorry I couldn't stay in Genesis after I got my Amiga, but GP doesn't have quite the following on Amiga that you built up on the C64! Has the 'Birthday Demo' that we spent 4 months making been released yet or what?!? My Bob-plexer still holds the world record (for C64), and I wrote it in December 1989!!! Beat Boy of Flash Productions... So, what did you think of my package? Write back soon and greet Anarchy in all your spreads!... Flamingo of Light... Why not code something on the Amiga? Your C64 demos were truly outstanding, I particularly liked Brutal 2 and Brutal Vector! I agree with what you said about my demos - 1 cool demo every 2 months is better than 3 average demos in the same period of time! Check out 'Delirious 9' for a slightly more polished demo from me!... The Banana of Silsden... Hey Phil!, why not do some logos / pics for Anarchy?!? Hein Design of Density / diArt... Hmm, what have you been doing lately? Surely your brother's game has enough graphics by NOW (5 months later)... Maybe you can borrow his computer again to make some GFX for Anarchy?!? Cryptic UK... Kreator is working on your Vectors-intro this weekend! - it should be ready for release at the 16-bit show along with this 'demo'! OK, that's enough messages for this time!... I don't have anywhere near enough contacts, since I've only had my A500 for 3 weeks (at the time of writing, which is 23/6/90 at 7:51 pm..) So, if you want a cool contact, write to:- RAISTLIN of Anarchy UK, Robert Troughton, 42 Browfield Terrace, Silsden, West Yorkshire, BD20 9PT. ENGLAND. Tel: (+41) 535 653669 Now, if I may take up a little more of your time, I would like to talk about some more controversial subjects (connected with Amiga of course...) DISK MAGAZINES - Taking over the scene? I am a C64-veteran, and so I have seen exactly what C64 disk magazines did to the (once quite cool) scene... Imagine recieving disk after disk of magazines each of which contains page after page of boring news... (most of which will be copied from other magazines, and a lot of it will be pure speculation)... A lot of quite cool coders spent hours of their lives programming these things, which did them no credit whatsoever!... Top swappers spent even more time writing the text - and what for? A few seconds pleasure for the few lamers who actually READ the magazines!!! Suffice to say that disk-magazines totally screwed up the C64 scene!... Anyway, what I want to suggest is this: Cool groups wanting to contribute in a big way to the scene-mags should not start up their own magazine, but instead try to gain a co-operation with one of the existing disk magazines. (eg. STOLEN DATA is made by Anarchy - Tristar - DCS, and I am sure more groups would be welcome to join in!!! Please don't let Disk-Magazines take over the scene as they did on the C64, because things are cool enough as they are...\ ANARCHY MEMBER-STATUS 23/6/90 Raistlin..... Swapper, Trainee coder Kreator...... Coder, Artist, Swapper Mr.Big....... Swapper Judge Drokk.. Swapper Pioneer...... Coder Mole......... Swapper Hammer....... Coder, Swapper 4-Mat........ Musician Igor......... Artist, Musician Raphael...... Artist Vektor....... Coder Tony......... Coder CPH.......... Coder Dan.......... Swapper Banger....... Swapper STOLEN DATA Stolen Data is a disk/paper magazine from Anarchy, Tristar and DCS. Most of you will have seen the disk half of the magazine already, and some will have had the good fortune of seeing the paper half... This is the only magazine that is released on disk AND paper, and really is something special!\ Order your copy of the magazine by sending a disk and sufficient amount of money (about 3dm?) to:- Parson / DCS, Michael Eggers, J M Meere 11, 3208 Grob Forste, West Germany. Parson compiles the paper-magazine and handles distribution of the disk and paper mag...\ If you want to submit anything for the disk-magazine (news, interviews, articles, letters, etc...) write to:- Mr.Big / Anarchy, 49 Kirkstall Road, New Lodge Estate, Barnsley, S.Yorks., S71 1RS.\ Or if you want to send votes, either send them with articles to the address above, or to:- Judge Drokk / Anarchy, 9 Back Lane West, Royston, Barnsley, S.Yorkshire, S71 4RZ. I am not quite sure as yet how much Parson plans to charge for copying the paper-magazine, but you can always check with him first!...\ OK, this will be the last page of this message box, I told you that it wasn't a magazine, but if I'm not careful it will be as long as one!!! Again I will give you my address for swapping... Raistlin / Anarchy, Robert Troughton, 42 Browfield Terrace, Silsden, West Yorkshire, BD20 9PT. England.| |
