Its rather like the A philosophy by NEIL/THE YoUnG OnEs KONIX CRUNCH ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hopes are fading for the future of the multisystem games consoles, as Konix its british manufacturer slipped into admiistrative receivership. The companys debts are understood to be as high as 1 Million pounds. The receiver, Peat Marwick McClintlock is hoping to sell the company to a major player in the computer enter - tainment buisness. A well established manufacturer is the undeniable preference, but with the big companys like Commodore, and Atari already booming with their own console the future of the Konix Multisystem looks bleak. The multisystem hada warm welcome when unveiled last year when it was first shown to the trade and press, however by the time of the 1989 PC show problems became apparent as Konix failed to present the machine to the public. Intrest has failed ever since. Before embarking on the ambitious Multisystem project Konix was regarded as a highly succsesful manufacturer of high quality Joysticks. There can be no doubt that the mutisystem has drained the company. It had been originally pitched as an arcade machine for the home. The graphics were just as good as those of an Amiga, and it featured a selection of control yokes ( joysticks ) for racing, flying, and driving games. Konix was even going to offer an Afterburner style type chair for the 200 pounds game machine. Gamers must now hope a company with a great deal of money and confidence steps in to save the machine which was once touted as " The future of home entertainment". ******************************** INTERVIEW WITH OLIVIER / PARADOX ******************************** SD: Bonjour Olivier SD: Quel age as-tu?

INTERVIEW BY THE JESTER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Demo Reviews Page ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Brought to You by ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sabbath the Vandal ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hello Guyz! And welcome to the Demo Review Column brought to you by SABBATH! Every issue I will be reviewing a few of the best recent demos around. I hope that most of you agree with my reviewing, But of course there are bound to be some demos which you will disagree with me. But that's life! Each demo will be reviewed rating:- Coding, Sound, GFX, Presentation and Use of Colour! If you want your own demo reviewed then why not send it direct to me. Please don't send any full disk mega-demos, that would be unfair competition. Also if you want your disk back please enclose a first class stamp (or OVERSEAS cost). Send your demos to: JASON/SABBATH. 12 Clare Close, Thatto Heath, St Helens, WA9 5HS. ENGLAND ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Demo name: COPPER MASTER - Author: CORSAIR OF ANGELS! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I like this demo a lot. It's really not all that complicated but loads of colour has been used. This demo contains various copper affects that we've seen bits of before, such as COPPER MOSAICS and VERTICAL COPPER AFFECTS. But this demo also adds a few new affects such as `COPPER MUTATION'. Which is basically vertical parallax colour bars that tilt & swing!! The demo contains excellent MUSIC. I can't really say too much on the GFX because they are lacking slightly coz it is a copper-demo! I suppose it has a nice char-set!(?). * CODING - Nicely coded and loads of effects!! 60/100 * * SOUND - Nice boppy tune that lasts through the demo! 65/100 * * GFX - Unfair to review the GFX on a copper-demo! * PRESENTAION - This demo tells you about each stage! And everything looks quite nice! 60/100 * * * USE OF COLOUR- Good.Loads of nice colours everywhere! 75/100 * * OVERALL - This is a really nice demo and deserves merit! Well done CORSAIR! 70/100 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Demo name: GLORYSTARS 2 - Author: SHARK.TM OF SCOOPEX! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Well this is the unexpected follow-up to that nice demo they called `GLORYSTARS' (suprized?). This demo basically contains 3 parts! The first part is taking the piss out of a STORM crack. It asks you for a pass word and then GURU'S! (Nice!). A small contact part follows in CINEMASCOPE! Then the demo begins. Straight away you're presented with the `Paramount' mountain and stars! (The stars are animated brilliantly!) And then a SCOOPEX logo fades on at the top of the screen. A great tune plays aswell! All is cool until the mountain starts to SHRINK & GROW, Oh dear! The mountain zooms off into the distance with very little stages! Still everything looks nice when the moutain dosn't move! * CODING -Not too difficult. 30/100 * * SOUND -COOL! Uncle Tom strikes yet again! 85/100 * * GFX -Very nice REWARD graphics. Even nicer if the mountain did not move! 65/100 * * PRESENTATION -It's a SCOOPEX demo! 75/100 * * USE OF COLOUR -Because the main part of this demo dosn't have a boring black background I LIKE IT! And REWARD is really good with colours! 88/100 * * OVERALL -This demo is quite nice to look at but nothing special. 60/100 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Demo name: MATERIALIZED - Author: VARIOUS CRYPTOBURNERS! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This demo is huge in size! As soon as the demo is loaded a nice Ray Traced `CRB' is presented on the screen! It's nice to see some more u se of Ray Traced GFX. After the piccy is faded away there is the usuall demo credits fading in and out etc! After the credits and `CRB' logos. Some weird `HIPPY' pictures are displayed. These type of pictures s eem to be the `trend' recently! But CRB have gone one step further!! And have used HAM to display their `HIPPY FRACTALS'!! After about 10 minutes of pyscadelia there is a nice filled vektor demo! With a really cool LIGHT-ROUTINE!!!! I really like this demo! Maybe coz it's pretty weird!(?). * CODING -I can see that a lot of work has gone into making this demo. And there's a good few different routines used throughout! 68/100 * * SOUND -The tune is really average. 50/100 * * GFX -Ray Tracing is always cool, And lots of weirdo piccys! But not much hand painted stuff. Nice credit GFX I suppose. 40/100 * * PRESENTATION-Average. But gets a bit tedious looking at all those hippy cycles! 40/100 * -->Continued ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Materialized Cont. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * USE OF COLOUR- Plenty of colour in all those weirdo piccys. And especially in HAM! But bland. 50/100 * * OVERALL I like this demo because it lasts ages! It's good to watch or listen to if your writing letters!!!! 50/100 * FINAL COMMENT ON RECENT DEMOS. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It seems that weird cycle pictures are the `TREND'. And we're still seeing loads of filled vektors. Why no more STENCIL VEKTORS from anyone. Is it COPYRIGHT? Also it's good to see all those lame sine-scroll demos fading away!!!! Apart from all that the demo scene at the moment is average! There dosn't seem to be any new routines being shown off! But I do believe SCOOPEX FINLAND has released a new demo? Maybe SLAYER has produced something COOL AS USUALL!!!!!! --->More reviews next month! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Interview with Frap of Magnetic Fields ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SD - Hi Frap!, Is this the first time youve been interviewed for a disk mag? MF - Well, not really I have been interviewed for a couple of other disk magazines, but most of 'em never get published. It is a great honour to be interviewed by one of the best leading magazines. I hope that everyone reading this, gets great gets great pleasure from doing so. SD - How long have you been a member of Magnetic Fields? MF - I have been in Magnetic Fields straight from the beginning and I like being a member of Magnetic Fields as everyone is so friendly especially cosy (keep on sending those games!!). SD - Can you tell me a little about MF, and its members? MF - Magnetic Fields started about 2 years ago, when two main groups called Sub-Zero and Nitro A.C joined together to form MF. At the moment we have quite a few coders, musicians, swappers etc. SD - Were you one of the founder members of the group? MF - I'm afraid I was not one of the founders of Magnetic Fields, but I was one of the main members who got Magnetic Fields so famous, as I have a good relationship with all the foreign groups, and thats very important when you are first -- Magnetic Fields Interview -- - Page 2 - starting out!. SD - How did you become labled as "The biggest demo freak in the U.K"? MF - Oh I did not know I was labled as "The biggest demo freak in the UK" but anyway It's fairly easy, all you need to be a total square face have loadsa money and bags of time sitting infront of the boring X-COPY!!. Theres still a lot more work to do still I am the No1 Demofreak!!!. SD - What do you think about the demo scene in the UK, do you think we match the rest of the world or or lacking in someway? MF - At the moment we are lacking behind the European Groups in producing nice quality demos(worth spreading), but as I say we are not that far behind!! Especially Anarchy who are probably the best group in England for demos, not forgetting your musician 4-MAT who is so cool at composing the nicest music. The answer to your question "Yes we are still lacking". SD - What do you think about your own groups productions? How would you speak of them if you were in another group? MF - Oh if I was in another group I would say they were @#$@. No only kidding we are not bad, but as I always say to our coders, they are still not as polished as foreign demos, we are getting there!!. SD - What would make an ideal party for you? MF - My ideal party would be one with no bigheads who think there cool! -- Magnetic Fields Interview -- - Page 3 - SD - Now its time for those "Favourite Things" questions!, Who would you rate as the top 5 all round groups in A..The U.K, B..The World? MF - In the world are 1. Scoopex 2. Paradox 3. Skidrow/Valhalla 4.Oracle 5. Quartex I will not comment on the UK as you will get all the lamers moaning saying "I am the fuckin best" (Remember Scooter/LADS) SD - Who are your Favourite Coders, Musicians & Artists in the whole wide world ever? MF - My favourite coders are RSI, Kefrens, Budbrains, Alcatraz, Crionics. My favourite musicians are Romeo- Knight, Uncle Tom, Enstein,& 4-Mat My favourite artists are anyone who produces cool grafix! SD - What do think about megademo's?, have they become stuffy, out of fashion, and far too common or do they just need a boost in the arm? MF - Megademos ar e O.K, some of them are really mega, but usually they have a cool beginning, cool ending, + loadsa shit in between, but take Budbrains Megademo, really polished and mega. (hope more come out?) SD - Do Magnetic Fields, intend to produce a megademo in the future? MF - At the moment, we would like to produce a Megademo, but by the time we would have completed each -- Magnetic Fields Interview -- - Page 4 - part and released it, each part would be out of date and really shit, I think it would be better doing a good demo and releasing it one at a time. It makes more sense to do a g ood demo instead of loadsa boring parts. SD - Who do you admire most in the scene today, and why? MF - I really don't admire anything in the scene at the moment, as there are far too many big heads out there!!! SD - How much did the loss of Spooks coding talents effect MF?, has it made the other coder s in the group get their fingers out? MF - The loss of spook has not really affected us as we have another cool coder called Turboslug,& more great coders who are always on new relea ses, so watch out for them? SD - How and when did you discover there was such a thing as an 'Amiga Scene"? MF - When I first started to get new contacts, as I was on the good old C64, its a bit of common sense to become hot again. SD - Being a "Demo Freak", you'll have seen a hell of a lot of demos, do you remember most, and why? MF - Yes I can remember loadsa demos, also I have a huge collection of demos ranging from the Cat Anims to the v.Latest demos. (1200 disks) -- Magnetic Fields Interview -- - Page 5 - SD - Which is your favorite Magnetic Fields demo? MF - My favourite demo by Magnetic Fields has got to be the Vectorbobs demo, although I was impressed by the Zarjaz demo and Copper intro. SD - Whats coming next from Magnetic Fields, and where does the group plan to go from here? MF - The next plan is the Party which is very soon, so I Hope many groups can turn up and make the party a good one. I don't know when this issue is coming out so you will just have to wait till the party to find out whats coming. SD - Well, this is the last question! Is there anything you'd like to add before we end the interview? MF Yes, Have you bloody finished asking me questions, Now I have to get some sleep, bye everyone!!! see ya all soon, and take care!! SD - Thanks for your time, have fun, stay cool, ---------->Drokk --------------------------------------- STOLEN DATA WANTS YOUR VOTES! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dont forget to send your votes for the next issue of Stolen Data, to the address below, and give us your favoirites in the folowing cat's..

ENGLAND.. -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Magnetic Fields "REVENGE" Party ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A party report by Judge Drokk ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ October 27th 1990 10am - 12pm ------------------------------ On this historic day in time, Magnetic Fields held their second party. Their first, the 'Select' party, had taken place eight months earlier and had obviously given MF the confidence to organise a much bigger event....this was IT! The Location ------------ The party was held just outside Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. The actual partyplace was a spacious sports hall, with a comfortably large carpark. Inside the actual hall were two bars, one serving constant food (burgers, chips, hot dogs!) and the other serving constant booze! Ahh... Heaven! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who was there? -------------- Well who was at the party, well just about all of Magnetic Fields, Anarchy of course,(OF COURSE!), Skid Row, Quartex, Miracle, Rebels, Ecstasy (Hi Sabbath!), Inner City, Modesty, Intuition, Crack, Rare, Pussy ...and lots more! The Competitions ---------------- As always, there were the familiar Demo & Music Competitions, a Kick Off competition, and perhaps a first for Amiga conferences, a Tug-Of-War competition. The first to be held was the Kick off competition, where 64 guys battled for one of four winning trophys! This competition officialy began at 3:00 pm and ended at aprox.6:30. The results were like this.. 1st Place - Wizoid of Inner City 2nd Place - Smurph of Inner City 3rd Place - Mr.Big of Anarchy 4th Place - Axe of Inner City After the winners had collected their wonderfull trophy's, it was time for the next event.. the Tug-of-War! Six teams of six dudes were assembled, each team made in whole or part from the crews at the party. Our team was made from Anarchy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ members (Judge Drokk, Mr Big, Banger) and guys from MF (No.5 ect). A best of three tugs decided the winner of each bout, sadly we were wiped out by a group of vertual unknowners called "The Laughing Assasins", they were obvoisly on steroids!! The next highlight of the day was the Demo & Music competitions. These took place at aprox. 9:00 pm, (three hours late). Just about everybody who was left sat in front of a large stage, on which an Amiga and monitor, AMP and a pair of large speakers stood. Every demo entererd into the competition was then shown. This is the only place where the organisation slipped up, although the collapse of the demo competition was hardly due to the organisers. The original method of voting in the demo comp was for each guy to write his favourite demo from all shown on the back of his (specialy marked) entrance ticket, but this idea was dropped due a lot of guys voting and leaving the party after only a few of the demos had been shown. This was felt unfair to the rest of the guys who's demos were not shown until last. So the voting method was changed to a show of hands. Now this is where the party organisers slipped up, after all demo's had been shown, and it was time to vote nobody could remember what they had seen or who it was by!, So only about a third of the demo's got the "show of hands", ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This mistake didnt make any difference to the authenticity of the final results but it must have annoyed the guys who entered a demo which never received a deserved vote. The other flaw in competition was not the fault of MF but the fault of little bastards who wanted to screw up the voting by voting for their own group. The main culprit of this crime was a guy from New Age of Sweden. He sat with hand raised for his own demo and when told he could not vote for his own demo he said 'What!?... I'm not in New age!', yet he was wearing a New Age T-Shirt!, What an asshole, he was fully deserved of his title....."TOE RAG". Remember, winners dont cheat (they just get shit faced!). Results of the demo competition were as follows 1st Place - Anarchy's "Madness", Code & GFX by Dan. Music by 4-Mat. 2nd Place - Express "Filled Vectors" 3rd Place - Modesty "Vector-Bobs" The prizes were as follows ... 1st - 100 Pounds, 2nd - 60 Pounds 3rd - 40 Pounds. The Music competition was held in a similar fashion but thankfully ran a lot smoother! The only hiccup was when Ray Norrish tried to eneter an already heard tune (his Killing Game Show music) into the music comp and became rather emotional when he wasn't allowed! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusions ----------- All in all, the party, in my opinion, was the best U.K party yet. The group turnout was tremendous, the only notable missing groups were S.A.E, and Genesis. Its just a shame more european groups didnt come, you could have thrown that toe rag from New Age out of the plane on the way home!! The party place was excellent, although an extra room (or two) for coders who cant work in noise would have been nice. The allday booze and food bars were great, (ask Banger of Anarchy if you dont beleive me)! The Kick Off & Tug of War competitions were superbly organised and the demo comp would probably have gone a lot smoother if it had taken place at its originaly set time. But you cant blame MF for this!, It was just the Kick off comp that lasted longer than had been anticipated! The prizes were large and many, a total of 200 Pounds were given as prizes in the demo comp, with an extra 50 & 30 Pounds prizes in the music and Tug of War competitions, respectivly & four large trophy's were arwarded in the Kick Off event. The releases from crews were plentifull, although it has to be said, true quality was sparse. Magnetic Fields themselves releases five products with a sixth yet to be released. All in all, the "Revenge" party the best & biggest U.K party yet. Congratulations and thanks to Magnetic Fields for such a great day! >Judge Drokk/Anarchy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> What is Crecoder? <--- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ --> By Turmoil <-- ^^^^^^^^^^ There are many utils that come and go. they are all coded, spread, put on compacts and then you dont here of them again, well unless they are useful! There are exceptions to this as everyone knows especially when you say X-Copy, and all the versions that were too follow. This util is the most famous on the amiga but why? Well probably because everyone needs a reliable and fast copier and nothing beats X-Copy for that. Its still not perfect though as other things could be added like it being multi-tasking as I know some guys would like it too be. Other famous and highly used utils include Dmaster, Cli-Mate, Noisetracker and Soundtracker, Seka, Devpac, IFF Converter , Powerpacker, Titanics Cruncher, DPaint 3, various virus killers and various music rippers. All these are truly brilliant and without them would make life on the amiga very hard and boring. well what is this all leading up to you may be asking yourself. well its just to mention about a new util that is really useful especially for people with pirated software. yes as you might have seen on the title above it is crecoder coded by creator of powerslaves. this amazing util is one which can stop any problems you may have with the cops. what it does is it wipes over a disk with its own bootblock so any games you have you can protect them this way and as far as i can see it works. i will give you a short explanation of what it does but if you want to know more or want this tool than get a copy of it from somewhere (creator himself would be a good bet). how it works is when you have it loaded up you type in your secret password that no-one else should find The Crecoder Cont. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ out. then with your formatted disk in df0: you write this password-boot onto the disk. remember that it has to be a formatted disk! once this is done you can get rid of the util if you so desire and reset. now what you have is a coded disk which you must not lose. boot this disk up and you see it will load up and stop after a few seconds on the workbench hand screen. type in your password and voila. now take out the disk and insert the games you want protected and you are now totally legal. it works for non-dos games aswell if you were wondering. a cool and needed util especially as the way things are going with the software police lately. --------------------------------------- Stolen Data Contributions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dont forget S.D's regular Art Gallery & Music Review sections,your contribution could make you famous! --------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---> The Zarchy Interview < --- --> Stolen Data bring you the Big Ones! <-- ----------------------- What now follows is prevoisly unpublished interview with one of the U.K scene's most popular guys! This interview was originaly withheld from publication by Zarchys press manager for the sole reason that, and I quote "If this guy gets any more attention it could kill him ... you publish that Interview and we'll sue!" Now that T.H.R are no more, and Zarchy has escaped the eye of the scene by changing his name to "Jazzcat" and moving groups a lot we at S.D think its about time that this interview was shown to the public.... Judge Drokk/Anarchy Q - Introduce yourself! A - My name is zarchy of The Hacking Relation and I am 16 years old. I am about 150 cms tall and have a high pitch voice. Q - Talk about your group! A - Well T.H.R. (for short) is a very popular English group who release some very cool demos and are shit hot at swapping! Its been going along time but we only recently became famous worldwide! Q - When did you start with computing? A - I've always had a computer all my life because I like playing games! I bought my Amiga because I saw it was expensive! Q - What is your position in T.H.R.? Crack, train, code, music, gfx or swap? A - Well I cant crack an egg, I have some trainers but I only wear them, I can assemble on Devpac, I havent worked out Soundtracker 1.1 yet, but I am a GFX person although I cant draw a pair of curtains. I am an elite swapper and love to drop people especially bigger than me! Q - How do you compare the Amiga scene with the C-64 scene? A - The C-64 had better games to play and there were no wars and I dont like wars because I know I would lose them! Q - And what about T.H.R future projects? A - Well I am going to make it much more famous and become the elite crew on the amiga. I will take it to the top because no-one else will! Q - How many contacts do you own? A - I own about 30-40 contacts but only the elite ones because I drop them if the stuff they send is more than 2 days old! (Greets to my contacts seeing as we are talking about you!) Q - Do you treat your contacts well? A - Of course.I tell them what I think of them and how many of the disks they sent to me, I had! Q - Have you been to many parties? A - Yes my friend had one last week for his 13th birthday and I went to one some months ago but I did not like it because everyone was with a girl and I felt left out! Q - No. I mean copy-parties for the Amiga! A - Why didnt you say then! Yes I have been to loads and met lots of cool guys there, although they kept on hitting me for some reason and writing offensive letters everywhere. I am sure it was nothing personal in any case. Q- What do you think of the software police? A - They dont bother me. In the UK there is only F.A.S.T. and they are not half as fast as me! Q - Who are your favourite guys on the Amiga? A - That would have to be all my contacts and those who release 100 percent cracks megatrained on 1 file! I dont like groups who import stuff and who release shit cracks! Q - Do you have any enemies on the Amiga? A - I dont think so! as far as I know everyone thinks I am a real cool guy! Thats why they are always writing things about me! Q - Do you collect games or demos? A - I only collect games so I can play with them! Demos are good but only with filled vectors! I dont like keeping them unless they are ours! Q - What do you think of viruses? A - I love spreading them on peoples disks! I know what trouble they are you see! Q - Do you have a girlfriend? A - Whats that? Q - Do you do any sports? A - Yes, I walk up the stairs to my computer every day after dinner! Q - How many hours do you spend infront of your computer a day? A - Well I sleep for 10 hours so, 24 - 10 - 1 - (eat) = 13 hours a day Q - Do you have a motto or slogan? A - Yes I have 2! "I am the best of the best and the rest are lame!" & "Whats your latest?" Q - Any last comments! A - Bye lamers.... ------------------------------------ AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH QUARTEX! ------------------------------------ CONDUCTED BY MR.BIG SD:What's your handle and cheif function? QX:I'm Waremonger, Sysop of World Head - quarters ( Your Link to Perfection) since March of 1989 Functions? Many! You do NOT get into Quartex for simply running a board too many lame ones out there anyway! SD:How old are you? QX:I can tell you I am older than you! SD:What's your profession other than pirating? QX:Teacher of Computers SD:How long has your group existed? QX:Since Summer of '88 SD:Do you have any enemies at the present? QX:Lots! Which means we are doing a good job.... SD:Why has Quartex had more wars than any other group? (Paranoimia, World of Wonders, Public Enemy, Eagle Soft Inc.) QX:Hey, you forgot the famous Bencor Brothers skirmish! 'Cause during our heyday our competition was hilarious.... SD:Who are your friends in the scene outside of group members? QX:Fletcher Christian, Surge, Rokman, High Pockets, Lord Delos, Jeff Kirk Captain Video, Flob ( he probably won't even see this), lots of other guys Oh also, the Beatbox and Evil Priest ha ha ha ha only kidding.. two lamers who love each other and hate me... Who cares HA HA HA HA HA SD:Is it true that members of Quartex pay to be in? QX:Depends on what you mean by paying All members that I know work to be in... Guys who THINK they were members probably weren't...We always took a long time to pick members but when they were finally 'officially' recognized, membership is lifetime (So far he he he he). Also, never believe what you hear... SD:How long have you had your amiga? QX:Since Nov. '85 " B. W." During the time of Kickstart 1.0 and below the time of Betas, and PD Software ..BEFORE WAREZ.... SD:What is your personal setup ? QX:Setups you mean... Board runs on an 85 Amiga A1000 with 2 Meg External Comspec board, CLTD Controller with a 240Meg SCSI Priam HD..... Personal system: A25000 with ' 33 Mhz 030/882 GVP board, 9 Megs RAM, 3 Quantum 105 megs, Wangtek, 150 Meg Streaming tape, Flicker Fixer with Nec 3D monitor, 3 floppies including, 5.25" 880K Euro-drive...Both machines are networked together through parallel ports HST on each machine, also have full midi setup, 2 keyboards, drum machine. SD:Why do you think groups come and go so quickly? QX:'Cause they FUCK UP so much and are so stupid people lose trust and they have to start ALL over again HAHAHA SD:What part of the ' Amiga Scene' do you like the best? QX:Two things...good software/utils and the TONS of money that lamers are willing to throw around! SD:The big question: Why don't Quartex use intros? QX:Oh, you mean the second most asked question by LAMERS about Quartex? Well, most groups pay someone to do it anyway,so unless you have someone in the group with time to burn it is useless...With the 400+ releases in the two years we've been around we would need to have quite a few guys working on new and cool intros otherwise they are sooo boring... I mean, how many times can you listen to the same DRONING noisetracker crap and read the same sine scroller ...Most people wanna play the game not read some lame c-64 shit.... SD:Is it true that you pay your cracker QX:Yet another one of those common rumors you hear.... we'd have to be pretty rich then, huh? SD:What do you think of the groups who pay their crackers? QX:It's pretty funny....... I always wondered...if it is a 50% crack, does he have to make a refund??! Or do they withhold part of the payment until it's beta-tested by everyone? Pretty cool job for the cracker I guess... SD:Do you get any spare time to do anything other than being a sysop? QX:I run a board 'cause I need time! In the old days you spent much more time.. Now, you wake up in the morning and there's the wares.... Yeah I have plenty of things to do other than Sysop... SD:Where do you see the Amiga in say 5 years time? QX:Sitting in my closet next to my Atari 5200... I think I will be playing with my NEXT machine HAHAHA SD:What do you think you will be doing in 5 years time? QX:Interesting question.... If you had said in ' 85 would this machine still be alive today, I would have laughed at ya! Can't imagine what kind of contacts I will have in 5 years from now! heheheheh SD:What would you say to a pirate who said Quartex are dead? QX:He was blind... SD:What are your views of the piracy scene of 1990? QX:Not too many good crackers left... the HARD stuff is still not 100%.... there's still only one cracker I know who can make REAL 100% warez Seems this should be called ' The Year of the 100%' or the ' Year of the FIX' SD:How many members does Quartex have? QX:12 or so.. SD:Why do you think Quartex has lasted so long? QX:We're all good friends ( most of the time), we KNOW our shit, and we enjoy ourselves... SD:Who are the principal members in each country? QX:You all know who we are! SD:Does any member have the final word? QX:Yeah, me! No, the main guys consult and make the decision that best benefits the whole.. SD:What is the basis of a leading group in your opinion? QX:A leading group needs all the basic elements, good suppliers, spreaders, crackers. Most of all, KNOWLEDGABLE members, not some lame guys who are into a power trip... SD:The next paragraph is an Exclusive Statement made by QUARTEX about all the comments and criticism passed on them by others. QX:Well if you mean by exclusive as ' being the first interview ever granted' then fine. As far as I can remember into the depths of time No Quartex member has ever done one of these Lame interviews...but I was PRODDED into this by Jester/Quartex so I can say I am the first..I think ONE TIME a German member ( who will go nameless) was approached by Cracker Journal at a show and the guy was told politely to Fuck Off...We really never cared what people had to say about us, as we did our best and let our releases speak for themselves..... We have NOTHING to prove, as we have PROVEN it already...it is up to a group out there to match it or shut the fuck up .. There IS no group who has dominated the dreams of all for so long with such a HIGH reputation.. We take it as a compliment when we make other groups mad..... keeps everyone trying harder to make good decent working stuff... ************************************ INTERVIEW CARRIED OUT OCTOBER 4th by MR.BIG / MAIN EDITOR ************************************ ************************************** AN INTERVIEW WITH THE SURGE OF PARADOX ************************************** SD: Ben, how old are you?

The barman says to him " It took you six months to complete a 10 piece puzzle, are you pleased with yourself ", and the Irishman replies, " I sure am, it said 3 - 5 years on the box" HOW TO MAKE LOADS OF MONEY (YEAH)!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I found this text on a board. I find it very cool so I decided to share it with all Stolen Data readers! I dont know who wrote it...but anyway greetings to you! The name of the board I found it is Omicron`s BBS in Sweden, Bad Boys BBS, But it is down at the moment... But call their second board: Djungle Base: +46-920-59404! Sysop is Stanton! Happy reading fans! Teeze of aNArChY! Hello! Do you have an original recipe, craft plan or an idea that you would be willing to sell through the mail for $2.00? If you do, this letter has a rare power!! This letter will bring in at least 50,000 orders in the next few weeks. This is not a chain letter. It is a new perfectly legal Network Marketing Plan, since we are both buying and selling a product. (Refer to title 18, section 1301, 1302 and 1341 of the postal and lottery code). This is not like any other get rick schemes, but more of as mail order. If done right, everyone profits and no one is a looser. You are selling a product not building a cycle. HERE'S WHAT TO DO: 1: SEND EACH OF THE FOUR LISTED BELOW $2.00 FOR A PRODUCT ORDER. 2: REMOVE THE PERSON WHOSE NAME IS IN THE #1 POSSITION. 3: MOVE THE OTHERS UP ONE SPACE AND ADD YOURSELF AS #4 4: MAKE AT LEAST 100 COPIES OF THIS LETTER AND MAIL IT TO FRIENDS, NEIGHBOURS AND OTHER SMALL MAIL ORDER BUSINESSES. You can find the names and addresses in publications such as the Glode, the National Enquirer, Popular Mechanics, Employment News, etc..., in their classified sections or you can buy super effective, target specific mailing list. Just look in the yellow pages under "mailing lists" and be sure to speciry names that sell recipes. The price is usually somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100 names for $100. Another idea is to simple drop one into each mailslot in a nearby apartment building. NOW HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: 1: YOU SEND OUT 100 LETTERS, 15 PEOPLE SEND YOU A $2.00 ORDER. 2: THOSE 15 SEND OUT 100 LETTERS, 225 PEOPLE SEND YOU A $2.00 ORDER. 3: THOSE 225 SEND OUT 100 LETTERS, 3375 PEOPLE SEND YOU A $2.00 ORDER 4: THOSE 3375 PEOPLE SEND OUT 100 LETTERS, 50,626 SEND YOU A $2.00 ORDER 5: GRAND TOTAL AT 15% RESPONSE: 54,240 ORDERS X $2.00 = $108,480 Including initial order, the postage, envelopes and copying costs, you will pay less than $50.00 to participate in this Marketing Plan. What have you got to lose? The prime factor in making this plan work are Honesty, Intergrity, Action and some Hard Work!! When you start getting your $2.00 orders, be sure to send you product to each one immediately. Even if you try this out of curiosity, be prepared! You are going to sell so many recipes, craft plans etc... that you will be staggered with the results. People will respond because you are giving them an incentative to make profit! Consider yourself fortunate to have discovered an exclusive system that really works! Have faith, think positively and act today! Fortune is on its way to you. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN! ------------TAPE YOU REVISED LIST OVER THE ONE BELOW, THEN COPY IT---------- 1. Wayne Spawn Enterprises 3.

After losing a lot of money trying to sell my recipes in tabloids, I decided to give this plan a try. Boy was I surprised when I got a note from my mailman telling me that my box was too small for all your mail! For the first time in my life I'm out of debt. It feels too good to be true! John D, Sarasota, Florida 2. We just have to extend our own personal comments concerning the letter you have read. In September of this last year, we placed an ad in the National Enquires. The cost was $243. We received only one order for $2.00 and that's the God's truth. At the same time, we received the attached letter as a result of the ad we placed. My husband and I decided to invest just a small amount of money to see what would happen. We spent $2.00 for 100 envelopes, $25.00 for stamps, and a few dollars to copy 100 letters. The result was absolutely incredible. Mail has been pouring in everyday. Our small imnverstment has given us a thousand fold return. Don't pass this one up. It really works!! We are so excited, we can't wait to check the mailbox everyday. Good Luck!! Sincerest Regards.

Well, I have had a bumper bag of entries this month, so thankyou to all who sent me modules to review. I have had to condense the reviews to a small amount for each musician, but more reviews is better than less I say! The marking system has changed once more, and now is on a scale of 0 - 5 stars, I think this is a lot fairer than the more revealing 10 star ratings that I was doing last month. Okay then, that is all on the introductory side, here come the reviews..... CELEBRATION - OMEGA/DUAL CREW (SWEDEN) -------------------------------------- Well then, this tune is quite nice indeed, a strong beat, some nice piano chords and a sweet melody, what more could I ask for? The tune has been rendered in quite an original style too, none of this 'Seven Sins'-ripoffs, a strange cross between latin and Italian house. Well done Omega! RATING : **** ------------------------------ - MUSIC REVIEWS - ------------------------------ UP IN THE WOODS - STEEL/SUBWAY ------------------------------ A very eurosounding release this, even down to the Uncle Tom chord stopping! Even so, it is fresh, exciting and listenable, with a nice saxophone sound bashing out the melody and some beautiful chord sounds. Great Stuff! RATING : **** MALBORO - RECOIL/IMAGINE ------------------------ A very simple guitar piece, using some very old guitar sounds from Led Storm and other sounds taken from old SoundTracker sample disks. The real problem is that the melody and bassline hold no interest at all, and I soon found myself flicking through the patterns. Sorry mate, but even the strange bridge couldn't keep me interested! RATING : ** YOU ARE NOT A GOD - ECHO/IMAGINE -------------------------------- Another guitar piece, but this time the author has taken time to come up with a 'well-known' but nice guitar riff. The melody is very beautiful and the overdubbed choir chords are fine. I like it! RATING : *** ------------------------------ - MUSIC REVIEWS - ------------------------------ ISLAND STYLE - AEROKID/ENSIGNIA ------------------------------- A nice Eurosound mixed with sound Fx from Predator, a funky bassline and some quite groovy keyboard riffs. Even the discordant fade-in note at the beginning of this track sounds atmospheric. A nice tune, maybe a few more varied sounds and I would give it a 4-star rating, but anyway, very listenable. RATING : *** ELECTROQUEST - NUKE ------------------- A new tune by Nuke, using the familiar Eurosound style that seems to be all the rage at the moment (thankfully Walkman changed all that!). A great bassline with a cracking chord sequence melts into the great saxophone overdub. I may be biased, but I think he is one of the best new musical talents to come out of the U.K, great stuff, and you can expect his music disk very soon. RATING : **** ------------------------------ - MUSIC REVIEWS - ------------------------------ HARMONY - OISTEIN EIDE ---------------------- In the Amiga scene, there are two types of Amiga musician : professional and amateur. Oistein Eide is a professional and it shows. For the first time since looking at an Uncle Tom track, I have seen the real hardwork that has gone into writing this superb track. While most NoiseTracker tunes sound like NoiseTracker tunes, this doesn't!!! A subtle bassline and drum pattern flows into a superb atmospheric whirlpool of pure sound. Incredible stuff, a shame he did not want the tune spread!! RATING : ***** CAPTURE - FIRECODE/AMAZE ------------------------ A creepy beginning with appropriate wind noises and church organs flows into a relaxed soulful track combining trumpets and a piano chord sequence. A nice tune, although it doesn't really do that much, but ambience is wonderful. (Just listen to Tangerine Dream and you will see why!!) RATING : *** Okay that is all the reviews for this month, keep them tunes being sent in and I will continue reviewing them!! FOR MY ADDRESS LOOK AT THE ADDRESS'S PAGE SOMEWHERE IN THE MAGAZINE !!!

This is mostly true since there are only a hand-full of cool crews in this large country. FUSION(formerly ACU): They are mostly into importing but also train games and code demos and utilities. They have many U.S. and European HQ's. They also have an Aussie HQ called DOWN UNDER GROUND. Give it a call +613-427-7727 and leave a message to ICE/PUNISHERS. They also have a diskmag called THE SCENE in co-operation with DECAY. SCOOPEX: Australian division. Very cool modem importers. INFINITY: A new crew made from ex-ACU and DECAY members. They are mostly into coding and swapping demos and have a diskmag called FRAUD. They are organizing a BIG copy party in co-operation with MYSTIX. AUSTRALIAN SCENE REPORT ************************* DECAY: A crew made from ex Amiga Industry and Freedom Force, The Force, Predators and Abel members. They are mostly into coding and swapping demos and have a diskmag in co-operation with FUSION. ZAPHOD: A cool coder. Has 2 megademos to his name. One of Aussie's best coders. MYSTIX: Now a very quiet crew. Once were very big. Poor coders. They are organising a cool copyparty in December this year called 'OZ SUMMER CONFERENCE' I'll be there and so will many others. (including LAMERS unfortunately !!!!!!) Contact MYSTIX for an invite. THE FORCE: Mainly swappers. Also code a bit. Haven't seen much from them in a while. HELLRAISERS: Good coders. They also swap a bit. THE PUNISHERS: A new crew (less than a year). We code demos and train games. We are mainly mail importers and will soon be importing at HST. We will also soon be opening an Aussie HQ look out for the number in our next demo. We are also looking for an elite WHQ in the U.S. You will soon here alot more from us! There are of course many lamers who rip and pretend to import stuff (eg.JESTERS, ABILITY). I think we have more lamers than any other country with elite crews. The Aussie scene is getting much better. In the near future Aussie crews will be up there with the very elite.

The venue is ideally located adjacent to public transport, shops, pub and will hold over 500 people! There will be a demo competition with large cash prizes (Amount will vary by the number of participants - watch or announcements). As in previous events the success of this event depends somewhat on people travelling to attend it. Australia is a big place (Sure! Says Teeze!) as we all know. However with the airline deregulation and general price war within air and bus companies there is little reason for people to stay home. The cost is $10 advance booking or by argument, or $12 at the venue. This charge is to pay for the hire of venue, funding for cash prizes, door prizes, hire of video screen and other equipment and for insurance. We think the charge is justified when all costs are considered and when compared to other similar events. This is strictly nonprofit event. If you have decided to attend then you can write to us at the addresses below. If you purchase your ticket in advance you will be in a draw for a questionaire in which you can give us your sugestions for event. Advance the opportunity to order T-Shirts etc. Write to: Mystix - Po Box 867 - Beenleigh QLD 4207. Infinity - Po Box 696 - Kenmore QLD 4069/. Mystix and Infinity reserve the right to change any part of the above if or when deemed to do so by the same. ->Typed by Teeze/Anarchy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A QUICK JOKE ~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE DOCTOR ARRIVES AT THE BEDSIDE OF THE PATIENT AND SAYS...
