The mag is ok, but the Intro ... AAAAAAARGGHH!!! It looks like it was made in 1988! - Facet of Lemon.:Well, it`s not bad but it looks like it was made 2 years ago! - Doc Mastermind of Laser Dance:It`s cool.I like it with all that color- flashing stuff - 4T Thieves of Alcatraz:Nice mag!

Dying Legends Dying Legends   by Ace of Damian  With this article I wanna remind the scene about a tragedy takin part on Amiga- the sleeping gods, the dying Legends. With this words (I think) everybody will at least be reminded on one group: Phenomena. What`s up with all that great members like Azatoth, Celebrandil or Tip&Mantronix for example? It`s getting quite around them. No more releases, the last Phenomena-production that appeared on our screens was the "Crystal Symphonies II", about one year ago. There weren`t many changes from the first issue but it`s really nice. Should that have been a bye-bye-release from them? Only they know. The rumours about a new musicdisk appeared, but not many guys heard it. I think one reason that they stopped their work for scene are the rumours that are spread around them. They wouldn`t be worth to be on top, they would rip their instruments, or whatever. Many guys want to see new releases from them, but due the rumours I wouldn`t expect that they sacrifice their time for a scene that only talks bad about them. Well, I talked to Tip/PHA a few minutes ago. He said that we can perhaps expect a new musicdisk from them somewhen, perhaps around may. I hope that they are going to make it true and that many releases will follow. But it`s not only Phenomena, also TRSI, Scoopex or many others didn`t sacrifice much time in the past to release a real cool Trackmo for example. TRSI had a comeback in 1992 with "Wicked Sensation" or "Ecliptica". I hope that they keep on releasing nice things the next time. Ok, that should be all for this article, I hope you got the message: Don`t spread so much rumours, you`ll miss the big guys quitting the scene! The 2 Different Elite Crews The Two Different Elite-Crews   by Friendly/Damian  Have you ever realised that there are two different types of groups out there in the scene? One day I sat down and thought of some dead or dying legends, like Red Sector Inc. or Phenomena. And I discovered that they were different from groups like Anarchy or Silents. I don't know if anybody is interested in reading something about this, but who cares. Sure many other guys will have recognized that before me. Here we have Anarchy or Silents: They have many activ members who are wellknown in the scene and who are perhaps in the charts. If you get a demo made by Anarchy you cannot think: "Wow, another stunning demo by Dan, Nuke and Facet!", because there are a lot of others like Hannibal and Slash who can create good demos. If the trio Dan, Nuke and Facet will leave the scene, Anarchy surely won't die, because they have other good members and many young talented guys will join them. On the other hand - Sanity or RSI: When you hear of these groups you think of just three guys who represent the group, like Jester, Chaos and Cougar in Sanity. Almost every really cool production of Sanity is made by them and if they would leave the scene Sanity will die, I think. And when they loose interest in scene they want their crew to die with them, because they ARE Sanity. Same thing in RSI: No more productions, but no talented guys are allowed to join. So the rest of the group leaves and bye, bye RSI. Okay, today we have TRSI, and they are still good, but is it the same as the legend? I don't know what's up with Phenomena, but it won't surprise me if they will die, because Tip&Mantronix, Azatoth and Celebrandil are not very activ anymore. So, my wise thoughts end here. Hopefully we will see and hear more from Phenomena... Different Scenes Introduction DIFFERENT SCENES - INTRODUCTION   Part One by BliTTeR / DAMIAN  We would like to present you every issue an other country`s scene. Both, mail- & modemscenes will be shown and we hope to give you the latest up-to-date-service concerning a country you haven`t heard much in the past or if you like to get an impression from a country`s scene you haven`t heard anything. This time we would like to start with Austria. Not only because Austria is nearly on the top of the alphabet, no.....Only a guy who lives in the same country as he talks about can write an article. For further issues we would like you to send scene-reports from different countries. The Austrian Scene THE AUSTRIAN SCENE   by BliTTeR / DAMIAN  Many of you know the austrian scene from former days as a really good country for the scene with good groups and many productions. But nowadays the glory seems to be gone. True? Let`s have a look at the groups that are in the moment active and working on productions... In the past the demos were reduced and reduced, because the real active austrian scene counts in the moment just about 50-60 guys doing something for it...and this with total inhabitants of 8 million people...I`m sure we can do more good things for our computers than just yodeling the whole day or eating day by day "Kaiserschmarrn". What`s up? Let`s have a look at some active groups!  SCOOPEX  Their have really cool members but the lazyness has cought them. In the moment their only activity is the elite BBS NO RESPECT which is one of the fastest in europe. But demos are miniority. Hope to see more productions in the future from you!  TRSI  Long time one of the best groups here but now only a few of the old "kings of austria" are active. Some dudes doing some things but no great productions anymore. Fell asleep TRSI? Awake, awake!!!  ENERGY  Some time ago they got bigger and bigger, people left and joined... but then they kicked all foreign divisions with boards and only the roots here in Austria survived. They are doing a lot for the austrian scene by making Partys (Last year in Summer and this year together with SCOOPEX and MANITOU the Easter Conference in Innsbruck will be held. Come too and meet the austrian scene there!) They are producing also a Mag called SUICID which stands now by issue 4. Very funny and friendship-crew! Note: More cool parties! They founded a subgroup called BANANA POWER, but with no sense, because they haven`t released any production under this label.  MANITOU  A new crew in the western part of Austria with good members trying to do their best. Together with SCX and NRG they organise the Easter Conference. We all hope to see more and cool productions from you in the near future!  LEPROSY  They have the METAL CHURCH BBS with 3 lines and therefore the biggest BBS here. They want to expand but now the only produce some really good Ami-Express utilities. They have all things to get really good, but they prefer the modem sector.  FANTASY  A now crew born some days ago consisting from ex-GRACE members and former SLIPSTREAM members. Because they are new i haven`t seen any products in the past. Hopefully they get full active not just hanging around and looking what the other do!  DIAMONDS & RUST  A small crew of modem traders and the cool BBS THE PLEASURE DOME. They are now a subgroup of FAIRLIGHT. Importing new stuff and contacts with dudes from all over the world.  SONIC  Small group trying to get to the top but i haven`t seen any productions from them except some old cracks.  DAMIAN  LAST BUT NOT LEAST! It`s really difficult to give you a real opinion because I`m a member of this cool group! But everything is based on friendship here in the austrian devision. Everybody knows the other well and more and more productions coming up soon! Because the near all Coders are in the military service at the moment it`s very difficult to release much stuff. Anyway we are entertaining you with THE JUNGLE. The BBS UNLIMITED SUCCESS (++43-767-227-743) is our WHQ and Ice MC is the leader of the crazy austrian band. We got a new hungarian HQ called THE AGA INN (++36-721-7226) and a new GHQ named STRANGE WORLD (++49- ). The WHQ is located in Germany and devisions can be found at the moment in Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Hungary and of course Austria. We give our best do the best for the scene...Overall friendship is a basic thing on which DAMIAN is based. But we are always in the need of talented coders, modemslaves and artists. If you want to contact us just for fun or joining write to our WHQ! The Austrian Modem Scene THOUGHTS AND FACTS ABOUT THE AUSTRIAN MODEM SCENE   by BliTTeR / DAMIAN  The austrian modem scene isn`t as big as in other countries. Only nine boards are online at the moment and all in all around 40 austrian modemslaves are passing through the boards....but many of them can`t be called traders, because they just snoop around and upload some shit when they got some stuff...Besides the sysops and co-sysops you can meed around 10 real active guys. It`s a real pitty, but only 10 guys out of a population of 8 million...poor! But the austrian isn`t lame at all....Much friendship (YES! MUCH FRIENDSHIP!) and all releases that can be found in foreign countries...Some boards are really speaders and others just get the normal stuff day by day. You can also meet very many foreign trades from big groups who do most of the "business" here in Austria. Overall i would say that every BBS is worth at least one call and no one is just laming around. By the way: You also can upload your adverts, cliparts, articles or something softy to some BBS with a  JUNGLE -SUPPORT-CONFERENCE!!! Upload it on: UNLIMITED SUCCESS DAMIAN WHQ ++43-767-227-743 or: METAL CHURCH NOW INDEPENDENT ++43-725-266-402 3 nodez! But now lets introduce the BBS step by step without giving any bad or good votation! I don`t want somebody kill me...no...just joking!  METAL CHURCH:  The biggest board here in Austria which is at the moment running on 3 nodez...But this should increase soon...Over 500 users uploading everything from the little tool up to the main-releases. Friendly sysops, who try to help you in every situation. One gigabyte stuff has gone independent now. A  JUNGLE -SUPPORT-CONFERENCE has been opened in which you can upload your articles for  THE JUNGLE . This board is official supporter of  THE JUNGLE ! Sysop: UFO/LEPROSY Number: ++43-725-266-402 ++43-725-280-598 ++43-725-268-6557  NO RESPECT: The SCOOPEX EHQ... this shows the quality and stuff online... You can meet a great variety of real elite-traders there giving you the pleasure to download. The Sysop TRADE has got problems in the past with the pest...but we don`t hope to see you in jail! This board supports the Easter Conference with stuff and will spread all releases! Sysop: TRADE/SCX Number: ++43-767-465-216  PLEASURE DOME:  Another hell for traders all around the globe. Always superb utilities and releases tools and fucking fast. It belongs to DIAMONDS & RUST, which is now a subgroup of FAIRLIGHT. Really cooperativ sysops and another official supporter of  THE JUNGLE ! Sysop: STEVE/D&R/FLT Number: ++43-223-885-43 ++43-223-882-94  UNLIMITED SUCCESS: Yep! DAMIAN WHQ  and of course a  Jungle -support-conference. Superb sysop and also PC and consoles available. This BBS is also Muffbusters AHQ. Call and just have fun! Many surprises will await you...meet you there! Sysop: ICE MC/DAMIAN Number: ++43-767-227-743  CRIME CITY: THE FLYING ACES AHQ  with all main releases and often cool utilities you can hardly find at an other place. Nice sysop who loves long chats and much fun. Always worth a call. BTW: This board will also support the Easter Conference! Sysop: BRAIN/TFA Number: ++43-522-544-47  FIRE & ICE:  Used to be a 2000AD board but then joined SCEPTIC and got much faster now! A lot of stuff available but sometimes some days ago the hot warez. But it`s changing all the time and due to you can overall say its a good bbs too! Sysop: IMAGIC/SCEPTIC Number: ++43-767-240-26  VIENNA CALLING:  Very big private BBS with much IBM warez and always cool warez. Very strictly kept rules and no new users. Therefore if you don`t have experianced it by now....go and fetch a line! Sysop: MGCS Number: ++43-1-278-6783  HIGHLANDER BBS:  One of the newer BBS here in Austria. It is the Surprise! Productions WHQ with a lot of warez but not too much users yet. But i`m sure this will change in the future. Test it out! Sysop: HIGHLANDER/S!P Number: ..........  B.A.S.C:  This BBS has a lot of PC stuff available...bad that only some main releases for the amiga can be found...You can also get there streamer-abos. Test it and try to bring a new fresh hurricane with you! Sysop: WIZARD/LEPROSY Number: ++43-662-387-539  I have heard of some guys who want to open a board in summer...let`s see whether it will be a success or not...A note to foreign traders: Try to call to Austria and support us a little BIT in doing a good job. THANX! Design, Design, Design... Design, Design, Design... by Friendly/Damian I think design is an important fact in the scene today. In many reviews the design is mentioned and you can often read who has designed this part and that part or the whole Demo. If I see sentences like "The effects are not smashing, but the design is perfect!" I notice that it can be VERY important how you design a production of yours. Though, it seems like many guys haven't realised that yet. Of course not anybody has the skill to design a production, but I am sure that in every group is a freak who is able to do so. A lot of coders think that it is their job to design their production but that is BULLSHIT! If they have not the feeling for such things, why not letting another person of the group design the demo? Some popular groups have done it, like Melon Dezign. Human Target was designed by Walt. I also think that graphicians often have this special thing inside, which makes them able to compose the colours or to design other things. Another thing you could do is to watch some stunning and good designed demos. In general the design follows some principial facts, which you can copy or transform. (Perhaps we will have some design-copyrights in the future?). So, if you feel that you are not the right one to design a production, just ask others to do that and I am sure your production will get much better. Finally, I have to say, that I got the idea for this article as I saw the intro of  The Jungle  #1, which is really bad designed (Sorry Dream Warrior!). In the future we will get sure that every production of ours will have a good design! Anarchy=Lemon. Anarchy=Lemon.   by Ace of Damian  The scene lost another legendary group-ANARCHY itself is almost dead! Long live LEMON. What happened? The most guys of Anarchy didn`t want to keep up Anarchy- work and so the active members like Facet, Nuke, Dan, Hannibal and many others built up Lemon. Other guys joined Melon Dezign(Slammer and Xience) or built up The Camel Corporation(Milkshake and ICronite) and a few try to keep Anarchy alive, like Conquest, Trix, Krest and Titan. All this happened a few days after the Party 2 in Aars. The first production of Lemon.(Don`t forget the point after the name!) will be released in a few weeks, The Camel Corporation released their first intro at the end of february. By the way, all infos (not much!) in this article are from Facet/Lemon. What will happen in the future, who`ll be the next Nr.1? I think (hope) we`ll get the answers to these questions very fast. Diskmags - any differencies? Diskmags any differencies?   by Ace of Damian  This article is not about the number of diskmags as you might think. I wanna find some differencies in them. That`s very hard because almost every diskmag looks the same as another one. Of course you can`t change much, but you can try it as we do. Every Diskmag has no special Index as we have (I only heard from people that they like our Index!). In almost all Diskmags it`s boring, we try to get a little bit life in it with the little objectin the Index, wich we are going to change at least in every 2nd or 3rd issue. Every Diskmag has the borders from the beginning on. Everything happens in the borders. In every Mag. Ok, that might be the best possibility, but it looks boring due the size of the Mag-numbers. The number of mags is Ok, I don`t know why many people are shouting around that too many mags appear in scene. I don`t understand them. I think it`s allright, but it depends on the articles they publish. If they don`t have many or good articles, two or three mags should work tohether and these groups should release the mag, so it`s easier to become a wellknown mag, because when there are many articles there are many readers. And so the size of voters grows and your mag can be very successful. But always remember: try to make at least a little differency between other mags. It will be reminded more than any other, normal mag (...aaahh, that was the mag with that....) Think about it! Copyrights   Copyrights   by Colorbird/Noxious  Okey guys, lets talk about something that really upsets me and I think it upsets most of you guys too. Copyrights! Some of you may be crackers and you dont care a shit about copyrights, but most normal people do. But strangely enough most so called PD-companies must never have heard the word copyright! Okey if they sell a demo for 10 SEK, thats what a disk+postage costs but selling demos for 30 SEK and selling demos with copyright texts and so... Nobody at all the computer magazines cares a shit. I wrote a letter to a Swedish Computer Magazine (DMZ) which was published and there was not even a single reply! If you read that magazine you find adverts from a company called Softler Software. They are selling Protracker 2.2a +10 sampledisks for 170 SEK!!! I thought Crayons Protracker was freeware, not public domain... And they were among other demos selling ODDYSSEY by Alcatraz for 85 SEK! 5 disk costs 20 SEK, that leaves 65 SEK to Softler Software. And not a single SEK per copy is going to Alcatraz! And if I remember right I think that Oddysey has a text in the beginning saying that its illegal to sell it. I may be wrong because I havent seen Oddysey since January 92. I just want to say to all you guys out there if you see a demo made by you or your friends beeing selled then sue the motherfuckers!!! I just want to say FUCK YOU to all those PD companies... And here is a promise from me. If I make a cool demo and if I see someone selling it I wont sue the motherfucking bastard, I will take my baseball-bat and beat his lousy brain out!!! By the way do you know that if you havent included some text about copyright or the illegality of taking code, gfx and music out of your work ? Ok, We called that ripping and think its fucking lame. Well if you haven't written in your production a copyright text, its public domain and anyone can take what they want from your production and use it as they like. Its still lame but its fucking legal! So my advise to you all is that you write some text like "ALL shit (C)opyright 1992 by Xgroup" and it should be protected by the law. Also write something funny like this "Anyone selling this is accepting these demands... 1) I have the right to take all your computerstuff, whenever I like to. 2) I have the right to let my dog eat you balls. 3) I have the fucking right to take everything you own!" end Loser or Lamer Part 2 Loser or Lamer Part 2 by Ace of Damian Remember the first Loser or Lamer-article in the Jungle, iussue 1?? In this article I wrote something about the definition of these users as the name says. With this article I wanted to make you response because of it! Due the fact that almost nobody checked the situation. Where are your reactions?!? I got one letter with a reaction for this article. It was an austrian guy called "TRION OF ENERGY".(Well dude, I can say that your on the right way!). He only wrote one sentence (Losers are the freaks that call other users lame!!). Of course he forgot to put his addy under the letter so that I couldn`t write back because of the sentence about the articles. You must be a cool smucky, so, c`mon and write articles if you think you are better. Don`t be shy and write to my home-addy again. This is NOT an agressive reaction coz of your critics. Remember:Raw wasn`t built in one day!! But back to the main thing- The Losers and Lamers. Here`s my true opinion:Fuck Lamers!! In our town there`s a guy (no names mentioned!) who`s really lame. He tries to build up a new group (that wouldn`t be lame, of course), but everytime I meet him he tells me some stories who joined, and so on. If all that would be true I get told, this group would be very good, but who believes that a guy from Skid Row and a few days later a guy from Crystal joined them, a crew with no releases, no good contax, no quality-members! The guy is Ok in real life, but at the machine!?! Well, I think it`s enough of that Loser or Lamer-nonsence by now. If you have some reactions then write to me, my addy is in the addy-section (where else!?) Ìend Releasedates Releasedates by Ace of Damian Releasedates... what`s about this? Normally they are there to tell the people How old the stuff is the have. That would always be a good information, but many groups fuck around with it. They push it up 2 weeks and start spreading it much earlier than the date in the release. What`s that for? They want to get their production spread very well, without working for that, too much. When anybody realises that he got the stuff one week before the releasedate he starts spreading it because he thinks that it must be new and nobody of his contacts would have it. That`s a fault because the others might have it because it was already spread one week ago. Must be cool to push the date up to get it spread. of course you can type what you want in your intros, but do we need faked dates in Scene? end The Sense of X-Copy The sense of X-copy   by Blitter/Damian  There are X-Copy versions out there in the scene like sand on an italian beach.....with other words: the versions of this "favourite" copy programm are raising like hell!  From V0.9 up to the latest Version V8.1......The only revolutionary one was the V8.1 which now runs in full MED-RES (but again without multi-tasking) but the others look quite the same shit! Up to now I have seen about 5 or 6 versions of V8.0! All the same programms just with a little "GFX-dope". What the hell should this ??? Nowadays a group nearly has to shame itself unless an own version of the standart-scene-copy-programm is released! No new ideas, no new faster (does the disk-drive allow faster access to disk???) routines, bugs as hell and no new motivation. If you have a quiter look at other (often PD) programms x-copy seems to be sucked in the beginning of stoneage! Others offer multitasking (the best way of copying stuff!), including of modules, games (just a good idea for swappers!), options as hell (like code/decode, repair-copy,...) and more stuff like that. But what does Cachet or the scene? NOTHING! JUST NOTHING! Stop! Wait! Something is done! What a miracle! What the hell??? The version number of one and the same programm has to be increased! Yeahhhh, then Cachet is able to do a new advertisement-campaign and to gain more money in faking users who buy the orginal (couriously the scene-versions are much better!).... Isn`t there a coder out there who is able to do a copy-programm with just new FUN(ctions)??? Ideas and support is everytime available! If somebody wants to get some nice support (serious only!) then don`t hesitate to contact THE JUNGLE for further details..... Or is the scene so conservativ that you judge every revolution to shit???  BliTTeR / DaMiaN from the Jungle-Staff Vote-Cheats Vote-Cheats by Ace of Damian I can`t stand it anymore... WHAT ??? I`m gonna tell you! Vote for me, vote for my pax, vote for my group! Almost everyday I get letters with that vote me- stuff. If I don`t get some, I see it in bad intros or other releases. It seems that the charts are the most important thing in life for them. Ok, the charts show who`s best or who`s good, but I wouldn`t vote for contax that tell me that I should vote for them, coz when we act like this the charts will only be a big fake. Partly they are already by now! It`s everybodys choice to vote for what he wants. I got about 40-50 contax and the only guys it`s worth voting for as good swappers are Speedy/Parasite, Mr.King/Analog and Astro/Movement. The rest of my contax is nice, some good friends but nothing more! Even in Intros or other releases I saw this beggary. I remember one really bad Intro from an unknown group(press leftmb and the secret part is found-whooouuu!!!). Straight on the first side of the textwriter-these words again!!! Aaaargh!! It`s enough for now, vote for who you want! Another part of the story is the cheating of charts, which many smaller groups try, I think. It`s easy to get into the charts. Just tell your contacts friends and everybody to vote for you. Even give the votesheets to some guys from your class and tell them what to write into the spaces, even if they`re not in scene or not having a computer. Find a name for him and let him vote for you every issue. That`s it. A bit easy, hmmm? end No Friendship In The Modemscene??? NO FRIENDSHIP IN THE MODEM-SCENE???   by BliTTeR/DAMIAN  Everywhere you can read in different articles that there is no friendship in the modemscene. Different voices say that only the mailswapping and the demoscene is the REAL way of friendship by writing long letters, send some junk mail or just talk about different things.  This opinion can only come from a guy, who has NEVER had a modem before and still hates them because he is much slower than the modemtrader. I think that in the modemscene IS friendship! Sure, it differs from the one place to the other...But overall i would say that there is MUCH friendship...You can chat with the sysop for hours (oho....the bill!) or have fun with other users on the other nodes. When you logon to a new system you have to identify yourself and talk a little bit to the sysop. Here starts the friendship! You call more and more, post messages concerning from bullshit up to important group messages like hell and transfer files. Sure, only upload or download without any chatting isn`t fun...on many big and fast bbs there isn`t much contact with each other. Simply because the number of users is too big to chat with everyone for ten minutes or leaving mail. Real Traders leech here, upload there and so on without giving any attention to other modemfreaks. But i think this isn`t the biggest percentage in the (modem)scene. It`s real fun to get known with the other person behind the pseudo and be in touch with others. You get friends, help each other and if you meet at a party it`s really funny! If you still have the opinion that the modemscene isn`t funny at all then just call one of the DAMIAN BBS around and fetch the spirit of friendship! end Faking Stamps In The Right Way FAKING STAMPS IN THE RIGHT WAY   by Anonymus Fakus Stampus   If you are a swapper with many contacts, you sure will notice after a while that the mony you spend for postage will increase heavily! Therefore many swappers use faked stamps with glue or stuff like that... In some countries it has become very dangerous to use faked stamps in the past. I will show you a way where the chance to be caught is MINIMAL and the saving is GREAT! You should buy a large amount of small amounts of stamps and put many of them on a letter. The chance that many of them are unstamped when received is really big! Additionally put some normal tape over the stamps, but not too much! Put also some tape on the place where NO stamps are...the pest won`t be suspicious ...they just think you want to close the letter correctly. Never mail your letters at the local post-office. Always search some mail-boxes around your home and always mail them there. You won`t be checked at the post office! When receiving such a letter, unwrap it carefully and take the virgin stamps and use them once more. Get a anti-tint pen and remove SOFTLY the tint. But not TOO MUCH (that you can see the stamp mark) and then go to your local paper shop and buy a little glas of TINT EX. Sorry, but I don`t know whether this is available in foreign countries (here in Austria it is named in this way)! Anyway, look out for something like this (should look something like a tint jar). Then take a little glass and fill the glass with the liquid and put your stamps in. Put them near a heating or any other warm place (should be 38-40 degrees celcius). After about 34 hours take them and let them dry in normal conditioned air. Now the marks should be gone and you can look out for your next letters to your contacts! But remember: NEVER PUT YOUR OWN ADDRESS ON THE LETTER!!!!!!! (OR IN!)....For contact letters you have to take some legal stamps...Remember: Saving money is good - but if you want to save EVERY PENNY you will fuck up soon! Do We Need Worldrecords? Do we need worldrecords?   by Friendly/Damian  'And here comes the 1999 faces mega-glenzvektor... Wow! A new worldrecord!' Everybody who enjoys demos has read such a sentence so far. Everything which can be done better will be done better some time, that's o.k and without this fact the scene cannot survive. But do we really need the numberless worldrecords? It is totally okay to improve older routines if the new result is nice to see, but what I hate are these BORING records. Who cares if you have coded a glenzvektor with 20 or 200 faces? If you have seen one once, every glenzvektor looks like the other one. Just look in Anarchy's 'Seeing is believing'. Dan is very proud to show you a very fast circle-routine and it is shown quite often. Other coders may say how good the effect is, because it is so hard to code, but 'normal' people or poor graphicians like me do not find it original, just boring. So many new and great effects are copied by other crews, which think that they are really cool just because they have done it a bit better. It would be nicer to send a short regard to the inventer of the new effect, because he is the one who should gain the regards. To the coders: A worldrecord is only cool if it is original and creative! Interview with Peachy/MASQUE-TRSI with  Peachy/MASQUE-TRSI   by Friendly/Damian  Friendly:  Let's begin with telling us something about yourself and your career!  Peachy:  Jauser, I'm Magnus, some might know me as Peachy/Masque-TRSI. Right now I'm 21 years old. My hobbies are NO SPORTS MOVEMENT, pool and cinema. I got my AMIGA 1988 after being on C-64!!! My first group was VAMPS, a very local 'group'. Later I joined Action where I met TSM and Warhead/PANIC. After being a short time in Surprise Productions/TRSI we splitted up 'coz of too many people in that group. Now we founded MASQUE in TRSI to show that we are pure legal and have nothing in common with the illegals but the demo-section!  Friendly:  Do you spend much time in drawing graphics or doing other things with your Amiga? How much time does it take you to create a complex picture?  Peachy:  Well, there are periods where I spend much time in front of this soup box and in others I just don't want to see it, ok? Geeee, you want to know how much time it takes to draw a picture??? That differs...The most time I spend on SHERYL LEE which took me about 1 week. Others just one day or two-three. This depends on my personal motivation.  Friendly:  Why Amiga? What's your personal reason to spend time at the computer? There are many other ways to enjoy life.  Peachy:  I just love this machine! It's great. Have ya ever had an erection by having a nice time with ya dig in DF0:... Well, I never had (what d'ya think!!!) But maybe there are some masos who try to format while digging... No, I think it's a great hobby and for ya hobby you spend much time!  Friendly:  Like everybody you have started as a poor lamer (Or?). Why did you try to draw pictures? Why didn't you learn to code?  Peachy:  You might be surprised, but I can code! I think a real graphician has to know some basics of coding. So first I wanted to code then I tried something on Soundtracker and at last I prefered DPaint! In fact I still do some modules on Protracker but thats not good enough to release something more! First I have done only logos and fonts! Then I started on pictures!  Friendly:  I find it very difficult to find a good 'real' picture to draw. Do you have the same problems? If not, where do you take your images from?  Peachy:  Well, a lot of graphicians have a whole bunch of great fantasy books at home. Ok, it's great. Boris is quite good. In fact I have drawn 2 fantasy pictures One in Wicked and the Aars picture, which was originally drawn by Boris Valejo, but I changed a lot! Well I haven't got a lot of them 'coz they didn't interest me. Life is full of images. Also some friends tell me some good images if they have spotted one.  Friendly:  The 'Wicked Sensation'-demo was a big success. Will TRSI continue to release productions of that quality or will it make again a rest, like in the past?  Peachy:  I hope that there won't be a rest! But who knows... Friendly: Speaking about the future, have you any plans for the next time? Please tell us how you think your life will develop (Job, Amiga). Peachy: Well, after they throw me out of the army,hehehe and one year of lazyness I'll start to study graphic design. Maybe some more games on Amiga, who knows...  Friendly:  You won the first place at the Party II in Aars. What did you think when you heard that you beat guys like Facet/Anarchy?  Peachy:  There were several good pictures released in Aars and I was happy to win!  Friendly:  How is the organisation in TRSI? Is there much friendship in the group?  Peachy:  MASQUE has 13 members and is VERY good organized, so we have an internal BBS to have a much better communication. (Coding/module/pics/message sections) We have a good connection to the other legals in TRSI which are also 13 members. Friendship is very important! (And the meetings)  Friendly:  The new Amiga 1200 offers new features, like more graphic-modi. What do you think about it? Do you think 'our' Amiga will have a chance against his brilliant brother?  Peachy:  Well, I just have an A4000 and it is great but I wonder how long this one will rest for the A5000.There seems to be a big chaos at Commodore. A1200 is better in the new GFX-modes, but it will be surely not the last answer! Well, if the A500 will live depends on how much people buy the new and better A1200/A4000!  Friendly:  What do you think about other graphicians like... - Mack/Melon Dezign He did a nice slide and the one thing I like most are his colors! - R.W.O/Kefrens Not so good motives, but his Monster from Tank-Art was a cool thing (Hi cougar) - Scuba/X-Trade I love airbrush since I'm doing it on my own! - Facet/Anarchy The one with the most releases and I wonder where he takes so much time. - Hof/Movement Brilliant light-technique. Smart...  Friendly:  How about game companies? Have you ever received an offer or if not would you like to work as a professional artist?  Peachy:  I had some and I'm doing some games. Maybe there will be more in this way...  Friendly:  Do you use any extra equipment beside your mouse, which helps you in pixelling?  Peachy:  Well, since the Amiga 4000/1200 offers more colors it will be more efficient to draw on paper and use scanners...So if I have the money I will surly buy one! So besides my mouse I have an airbrush set, but at this point of time it does't help me on computer (But in future).  Friendly:  Well, here we have got the last question. What's the name of your father?  Peachy:  This is the best question in this interview. First I'd like to thank ya for this very, very good question! His name was Philipp (and so is the name of my brother...my sister's name is angelika...and the other sister is named andrea...my mother is named anneliese (hehe)...Hope this gave ya a great insight into my family...By the way my father doesn't ran naked through the house, hehehe...he is dead...sniff...  Friendly:  Thank you very much for standing the answers! I hope we will see some more from you. Maybe some last words by the fruit from TRSI...  Peachy:  Thank you! A big hip to The Masked Team:Fade One (Der Mops) Wayne (Die Kanalratte) Dreamer (BundiHundi) RomeoKnight (Der Knechter) Xray (Der Suffkopp) Virgill (Der Vorbeter) Violas (Huehner) Cueball (Der Brueter) Warhead (Der Arbeiter) Deicide (Der Wuerger) Tee Jay (Der Limitierte)... and the rest team: TSM, DoubleTrouble and all in TRSI. Big hihos to all Sanitys! Hiho also to all graphicians! (Die Leidensgenossen) Ace of bass rules! end Interview with Chaos of Sanity Interview with Chaos of Sanity by Ace of Damian  Ace:  Hello Chaos. First of all please introduce yourself to the readers!  Chaos:  I am Chaos of Sanity, and I am a god. What's more to say? Pray to me, or I'll get angry. I reached level of immortality (Ever heard of "SWar1*" ?). I got all the millions of experience points by killing Dragons, Guardian Dragons to be precise, two of them, I eat melons for breakfast and whole galaxies at lunch. My power is only met by my arrogance and my ability to produce spelling errors, exspecially when writing english (hope you remove them).  [no way! Ed.]  Ace:  What is your career on Amiga? When and in what group did it start,...  Chaos:  I began as a lamer who was too lame to even notice the scene, but I was allways a coder. My first groups were Axenon (1989?), Undertakers, and then Sanity. My career began with the release of the Elysium Demo, which is still high in the charts. After the release of Elysium, Sanity broke apart, we joined Rebels and reformed Sanity a bit later. In fact, before beeing a lamer on Amiga, I was a lamer on the 64, but I don't think that anybody is still interested in such old storys.  Ace:  What kind of hardware equipment do you use? Did you ever code one one of the new Amigas? Are they useful for you or the scene?  Chaos:  Whoops, I like old computers. I mean, very old computers, 1975-1980. I collected some of the early CPM computers, and I still use them as Terminals for the Amigas. Here is a list of the Hardware Equiptment that I actually use, I own a few more things. Hardware: - A4000-40 2MBChip/4MBFast 120MB HDisk, 1hd-floppy intern, 1 A1010 external floppy. - A2000 1MBChip/2MBFast 45MB Seagate HDisk with Combitec XT Controller, 2 internal dd-floppys, Action Replay II. - Atari Mega St2 2MbST-Mem, 40MBQuantum SCSI Speed drive Controller (dont laugh, I really use this maschine). - C64 (old) with 1541 and Formel 64. - 2 CPM-computers (in rather bad condition, mostly self-repaired) as Terminals for the two Amigas. - TV with Scart conector - 1960 Monitor - Monocrome monitor - Some kind of scrap I turned into a monior, badly wired to one of the CPM's Software I usually use: - Kick 3.0 including ARexx - Devpack - Cygnus Ed - Sanity Operating System (runtime and debugging system) - Mod3 (Monitor) - DPaint - butcher - Common (Monitor) - protracker - diverse packers - TeX (for the riddles. The riddle is using TeX) - Schwarzkopf-Killer - and a lot more. Well, I wrote this list just to tell you that I use DEVPACK, and none of these fucking Seka-like toy-assemblers. Can't imagine that anybody codes good programms using a toy. It's something for kids, not for serious coders. Well, 3D-Demo2 was coded wth some kind of ASM-One, and it's pretty stunning. But at least no serious coder except Hannibal uses sekas. Well, Panther uses the Buddha-Seka, and himself Buddha is one of the few coder I really admit, and he did code a seka, Hmmm, no serious coder except almost all serious coders I can think of right now use a Seka or ASMone, because these lousy utils are pure shit. There's nothing better then using Ced to type, Devpack to assemble (or Oma or Macro68) and ARexx to link both programms.  Ace:  What do you like to do in your free time, beside coding?  Chaos:  I like playing Boardgames (like Games Workshop games, or things like The Great Khan Game, you know, fantasy-freaky games; Nuclear Winter, Kung Fu CB Mamas on Wheels vs. the Motorcycle Aztec Wrestling Nuns) and roleplaying games (We don't use rule-systems, we play "Regelfreies Erzaehlspiel".). If the weather is fine, I like cycling. I like reading Fantasy and Scifi, and I listen to a lot to music (Pixies, New Model Army, Nick Cave, Nine Inch Nails, and a lot of other strange things). I like listening to radio, in fact I listen to the radio all the time I code, and that is quite a lot of time. I hear to Radio Bremen 4, the best station around. If you know Radio Bremen 4 you should also know Pop's toenende Wunderwelt, the best Radio Programm I ever heard, TUNE IT! if you can... Hey Leute: Kontakt zu Popkameraden gesucht: Tausche gerne Tapes, hab die letzten Jahre fast vollstaendig. Suche DRINGEND Tapes von den ersten Folgen, insbesondere alles ueber die Globale Rutschbahn! Auf Kameraden, Pop Pop Marsch Marsch! Paul E. Pop, der Mann aus dem Jenseits! Jeden Sonntag nach kommt er herab...  Ace:  When did you start coding on Amiga?  Chaos:  Don't know, perhaps 1987, 1988. It's quite long ago. I did a lot of things, and in the past I encountered almost all parts of the Amiga, including the Operating System.  Ace:  What was the first release, coded by Chaos?  Chaos:  The first thing I released under the name Chaos was the Benderlyser demo for the Undertakers. It had only one effect and a ripped music. It was just done for experience. I never liked releasing things that have been done better before, this is why there are few early releases. It took me some time learning before I was able to code something that was worth of beeing released, so first real release was Elysium.  Ace:  What kind of routines do you prefer to code (beside zooming, of course!) ?  Chaos:  Beside zooming, I like zooming. And perhaps texture mapping, that is a kind of zooming. Hmmm, no I like all effects that (a) are new or (b) are the same as before, only done much better (=faster) then ever seen. This is why I dislike vectordemos. If you have seen one, you have seen them all. Almost no vectordemos give you something new, exspecially Glenzvectors are stupid. But if I see a really fast vectorroutine (like Vectorpreview by Complex or Hunt by Cryptoburners) I like it. The problem is, that there are few effects that meet my needs. Last year, I can remember only two effects: The transforming Dot-Sphere in the Alchemy Trackmo (copied and improved by Hannibal in his 3d-Demo2) and the Video-feedback-lookalike-effects in the Shining 40k-intro.  Ace:  What plans do you have for the future?  Chaos:  Do some Games and code Broken Promises. In fact, I am quite near to not only coding games, I am near to getting money for games, this is a very big difference (because almost everybody codes games, but to sell them is the real problem, and if you managed to sell them, the quest has just started, getting Money is the real problem in coding Games, nothing else.). Watch out for "Timet the flying Squirrel", I've done some special effects for it, so you'd better fasten you seatbelts.  Ace:  A lot of people think you have a bad design. What do you say or think about that?  Chaos:  They are absolutely right. In fact, I don't care about design. I think my next demos will have good design, and Yesterday had a good design. But I also think that the Melon/Andromeda Design is shit. In a few month, perhaps the rest of the scene joins my opinium, whats the meaning of all this moving around of vectorplanes? The Andromeda Musicidsk is the very near to being silly instead of beeing well designed (It is well designed, but a few more releases like this and it will look silly and ugly to us). You will not get me to clone them. I tried out my own way of design in the Yesterday intro sequence. I made linkages, and I think it was a good success, althoug I don't want to do it again because it's a huge amount of work. Linkages this must not lead to demos like Guardian Dragon, where linkages link to linkages that link linkages together, links should link effects that are worth watching, otherwise you get "zero-design", Demos, that contain absolutely nothing like Dos/Andromeda (count the effects. If you cut all the boring vectors (even the complex inconvex vectors are a simple fake), you will get a total of 0 effects). What do these demos demonstrate? Only the fact that the scene seems to be at thier end. We will show the scene that there are many unexplored areas beside vector-design that are to be discovered in our BP-Demo. Links should contain ideas, not only shifting of planes. Just see Jesterday, where I had the irregular Vectorlins that are, seen from a special angle, a "presents"-logo. I miss these kind of ideas when I see most of the Design-Shit released today. Melon puts a sinescroller on a weirdly colored background and calls it intro. Whats the point of that? DEMONSTRATIONS should DEMONSTRATE something. On Amiga, many freaks think that demos are done to show design. They forget that design is though as a better way of presentating something. What is left if the design presentates only the design. Haven't they forgotten something? Perhaps it is symptomatic that the contens is less important then the package. It is said that you should never judge a book buy its cover, but here the cover makes the book. If they don't stop producing covers (using the word "cover" in two ways, (a) as the cover of the book and (b) as it is used in music buissness), it will become more and more useless. Some freaks say that a demo must be understandable and "good" for none-scene persons. A none-computerfreak might like the so-called state of the art (but if this is the state of the art, then I don't know what happened to the scene) while he can't understand the meaning of a coding demo. Well, I think this none-scene guy will say "nice, but why are you using computer instead of Video", or he will say "I can see shit like this 24 hours on MTV". The Eurocharts seem to support my opinion because design shit stays only very short in the charts while hardcore (=hardcode) demos seem to stay forever, although they need longer to rise. This implies that a really well done hardcore production (like 3d-Demo 2) has limited chances compared to any kind of design shit (like state of the art) on a competition because the impact of a design demo is much harder and faster. You need several times before you really like 3D Demo 2, while you simply can't watch State of the Art very often, it's too boring and simple done.  Ace:  What about the "Broken Promises". When can we await it on our screens. Can you tell us some facts about it?  Chaos:  I am not going to give you a proposed release date for it, because we will surely get further delays (It was planned for Fall 91!). But I can assure you one thing: Either it will be never released, or it will break all limits. There has never been a demo like BP, and perhaps there will never again something like this. Perhaps the public will dislike it, because it will be very uncommon, but I am shure to get a big long-time success with it. It is under development for more then one year, and it'll better be good! You might say that I am a bit optimistic, but compared to the other members in Sanity I am very pessimistic. In fact, only Mr. Pets intro sequence would be sufficiant for a very high Eurochart Positon, and when the introduction has run, the real effect are yet to come. I can also promise that the design will be better then you would expect from me, but you will have to adept to the style of the demo. You woun't see any Mainstream-shit from me. Perhaps I will break THIS promise too. Broken Promises: Nothing you can rely on, as the name sais. But if it comes, better leave the scene if you don't like beeing Slain & Slaugtered. Perhaps you can imagine better what's comming next from Mr. Pet and me if you notice that the WoC-Demo was the result of emtying our Trashcans. (Allmost) only old effects, hastely put together to win a competition. It was not done for the scene, it was done to get a bit of money. Not it's quite high in the EC, and it's rising while the Wicked Dublication by Winny Mandela is falling. As I said before: Hardcore lives longer then shit, but shit winns competitions.  Ace:  Do you work for a software-company or did you get any offers yet?  Chaos:  At the moment I work for Neon.  Ace:  Ok, thanx for the Interview. Do you have any last messages or greetinx?  Chaos:  No greetings, because I allways forget the guys that I like to great most. Usually, I forget to greet McDeal/DTect, Hannibal/Lemon (as far as I know), Tyroxine/Electricity and the other freaks I usually forget. I also great everybody who should have gotten a letter from me half a year ago like Fury/Legacy and some more. Search me on the CeBit at the Atari-place, I am going to release a Guestscreen for the latest Electricity Demo on ST! Well, if the effect runs 25% faster on St's then on Amigas, I release them on St. Gruesse and die Organisierten Popkameraden n.e.v, wuerde gerne mal beim "Pop In" vorbeikommen, aber Bremen ist einfach zu weit weg... Greets to all out there who are still creative. Gruesse an Heralds Mysterika dafuer dass sie sich von Peter S. richtig haben verarschen lassen. Gruesse an diesen ITALIAN Spinner MASTERBOY, der mir einen Brief geschrieben hat der 75% aller Merkmale einer Verarschung aufweisst wie sie von Peter S. und seinen Freunden normalerweise gemacht wird (Obwohl dieses Team natuerlich nur im Fantasy-Genre taetig ist und mich nicht kennt). Nun, ich glaube immer noch nicht dass es eine Verarschung ist, aber der Brief war auf alle Faelle peinlich. Wir sehen uns dann auf der CeBit, der Atari Messe in Duesseldorf und der WoC! Sanity: Demo or Die. Please insert a (tm) after each capitalised word to keep the loyers happy. Slain and Slaugtered (tm) is copyrighted by Peter S. & Co SWar1* (tm) is copyrighted by MiBo & Co. "Kung Fu CB Mamas on Wheels vs. the Motorcycle Aztec Wrestling Nuns" (tm) is copyrighted by Space Gamers Rap Reviews RAP REVIEWS   by Ace of Damian  2Pac: Strictly 4 my N.I.G.G.A.S...  Whooops, the 2nd Album of West-Coast-Rapper 2Pac. I runs for 64:05 minutes and contains 16 Tracks. For those who know him I don`t have to say anything, but for those who wanna know the style: Hardcore. There are many guest stars appearing on this release, like Ice Cube, Ice-T, Deadly Threat, Apache, Treach of Naughty by Nature, Digital Underground, and some more. This release is much better than the first album, so buy it! Best Tracks are: Lazt Wordz, Holler if you hear me, Deadly Venomz and the rest!  It gets 9 Points outta 10!!!  Eazy E:5150-Home for the sick  Yep yep, finally, after five years, the 2nd solo-project of N.W.A-Rapper Eazy E appeared. It`s an EP with an Intro and 4 Songs. The running time is 17:18 minutes. The sounds are cool, and Eazy`s beeeepy-voice is also funny. The last Track on this EP is a mix of some christmas-tunes, just with another text. Merry motherfuckin` X-mas and have a fucked-up new year! It`s not bad for those who like it, but... you got your own opinion. Best Track is: Neighbourhood Sniper  It gets 6 Points outta 10!!!  Wreckx`n Effect: Hard or smooth  Another first release, this time by Wreckx`n Effect called "Hard or smooth". It contains 11 songs and runs for 45:51 minutes. The style of their songs are more like hardcore than HipHop. There`s one song that all MTV-Watchers might know. It`s called "Rumpshaker". The mixed Mtv-Version contains samples from AMG and N2Deep for example and sounds a bit shitty bacause of the mixed melodies, but the original version is much cooler with much bass, making everybody jump and dance, as the other sounds. By the way, this album is produced by Teddy Riley, Who is also Michael Jackson`s producer. Not only that. One guy from the duo has the nice name Markell RILEY! (Got it?). About the Album: I think it`s worth beeing bought coz it will heat up every party. Best songs are: Rumpshaker and the others are also not bad!  It gets 7 Points outta 10!!!    Young Black Teenagers: Dead Enz Kidz Doin` Lifetime Bidz  Another 2nd release, diz time by YBT. It runs for 47:34 minutes and contains 14 Songs. The Album starts with an Intro and the follow-up is the chartbreaker called "Tap the bottle" The whole style is funny and weird, reminds me of FU- Schnickens- just like I like it!! I can only give you the advice to buy this materpiece. By now it`s one of my all-time-favourites. Best Tracks are: Tap the bottle, Sweatin` me, Soul wide open and the rest!  It gets 10 Points outta 10!!! Stop Fascism Review Stop Fascism by Alacatraz/Interactive   reviewed by Friendly/Damian  This demo is not really a demo. It does not contain some new routines or something like that. It's simply a reaction to the raising amount of violence in Germany. No stunning code, no cool graphics, but the viewer gets the message the producers want to tell us. Though I am german and have heard and seen reports about the rasists in Germany, I was shocked as I read all these places where brutal violance was used and where people were killed or injured. Mad Butcher has done a good combination between shocking textfiles and terrible newspaper pictures. It was also good to include the examples of some metropoles, where people of every race live in peace together. About the demo itself, there is nothing more to say but I have to send best regards to Lizardking/Alcatraz for the fantastic tune in the demo. It fits the demo perfectly, beginning with some atmospheric patterns turning out into a faster beat when Mad Butcher gives us some facts, and finally Lizardking composed a nice piano part for the credits. I have often watched that demo just to hear that sound and that is something which just happened to me with tunes by Tip&Mantronix! Of course I cannot judge a demo which is no demo and so I just can say: Try to get this demo and listen to the perfect tune in it! end Thanx Alcatraz! THANX ALCATRAZ!  Ì by BliTTeR / DAMIAN  I`ve just seen a new ANTI-TERROR-DEMO by Alcatraz & Interactive and was very impressed! There have been various anti-nazi- demos and anti-terror-demos lately. But none of them has come up to my expectations of a demonstration like Alcatraz and Interactive did. In other productions you can see some little funny written text about foreigners and some vectors, plasmas & scrollies. But this is NOT the right thing to handle such an important subject like the foreigner problem in Germany. If groups put their hard work in a production which should show their opinion in this matter or make the world kill terror & agression they should bear in mind that this should be either a serious demonstration or another demo which will be handled as every other. ATZ did it in my eyes just in the right way it should be! Some impressive pictures to face the things and a very sensible text which can`t be misunderstood even by such shitheads destroying the democratic system. The meet exactly the point in which every normal thinking human being should agree and think things over. In such demos the design and the presentation is the second thing to think about. First you should think of the REAL MATTERS of these conflicts and then have a carefull look at the words you place in a demo/intro. Such guys who want to meet just the fashion in the scene and make just a anti-terror-demo, because every "cool" group has released one, and just talk nonsense to fill the buffers with stupid scroll-texts, shouldn`t forget the aim of such a demonstration! If you aren`t able to handle such a fragile problem, please let your hands off from such things. Thanks in the name of  THE JUNGLE . The Silents On MTV! THE SILENTS ON MTV   by BliTTeR / DAMIAN  What? The Silents on MTV? Yes...and ANARCHY, DESIRE, SANITY,...Thats NO joke! Sure, the demos aren`t shown as a three or five minute-clip, but they take some amiga demos together with some animations created by workstations and form a clip. These clips are shown on Saturday or Sunday depending on the other programs in the late night. I don`t know how this program is named but I`m sure you will recognize it! If you don`t know it, it`s difficult to recognise that the clip is formed of amiga demos, because it`s sooo fast and normally you primary listen to the music and second you have a look at the often stupid clips and animations. It`s not only fame or things like this to bear in mind, just think that the you neiter GET MONEY nor have been asked wheater you agree with using your demonstration! I think that THESE are the "STEALERS" of ideas and money...they make money with their in the end effect great animations and a guy who just copies some orginals makes no money with his activities. Though many groups link a note to PD-distributors in front of their releases i have thought of a note no COMMERCIAL USE. They are just able to forget the note to the PD-distributors, because they aren`t any! They use OUR hard work even without giving us credits! We should protest against this, if we want to protect our own work. Demos are made for fun and not for commercial use! end Computer Translates Phonecalls COMPUTER TRANSLATES PHONE CALLS   by BliTTeR / DAMIAN  Experts have been developing over 14 month to make something possible that sounds like far future. Two persons from different countries and different languages (for example english and chinese) can talk to each other without thinking how to express something in an other language!  The call will be routed over a computer translating all the words spoken and will speak them in the other language. Up to now 168.000 words are included in this "Mega- Computer" and this should be increased by thousand words per day. Some days ago the three main developers of operation "NO BORDER" had a thirty minutes call from from Germany, Canada and China to each other. 3000 people watched this revolutionary phone call in the press centre in Kioto, Carnegie-Mellon-University in Pittsbrugh and at the place of Siemens in Germany. In this thirty minutes the comuter failed only three times because of some slang words. In a paper i read that the computer said as a line noise appeared: SHIT!. But the best thing is that your spoken words are translated to english AT THE SAME TIME! Yeah you will probably say...Superb and the best thing that could happen... But I think this is for the phreaks a big problem! The official system should go online in 1996 in China for a testing phase of 1 year. If this system would be installed here in Europe, the phreaks will call over a computer on which everybody can manipulate your calls and confidential messages. Imagine the computer translates some words not in that way you have meant them! But there are other big problems: How will it be with the native language of your country? This sland won`t be translated, you have to speak in correct written language! Shit....and words won`t be translated with intentiones.... Calling over Computer which translates all things is a real shitty thing... By the way: What should modem users do? Translate their ASCII`s? I think with this method we only come back to the words: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU! end Airbrush and Graphicans Airbrush and Graphicians   by Friendly/Damian  The airbrush is a quite new, easy and fantastic way to create a good looking painting. Most of the graphicians, including the elite-guys, need pictures of any kind when they do some coloured things with DPaint. Then they change some things or combinate some pictures with eachother - that's creative. But why not creating your own 'real' picture. Then you can pixel it on Amiga. Everybody who thinks about donkeys when he hears the word 'Airbrush': The Airbrush is, simple said, a kind of a spraycan (Though it is a bit more expensive). A compressor blows air under high pressure into the Airbrush and sprays the colour on the underground. With this technique you are able to spray for example very smooth backgrounds, like a sky, and much more. Famous guys like Boris Valleijo create their pictures with this fantastic thing. As I think that graphicians are also able to draw good pictures by hand, they are the best skilled people for airbrushing. After you have got drawn various pictures, it is such a great feeling to see that you get better and better - just like on DPaint, but faster. There are many books who will help you in developing this method and your friends will surely be astonished when they see that a 'normal' guy like you can paint this good! I have my Airbrush for a few months now and my pictures are in general not very good yet, but everybody who sees them thinks they are good. When I show them some pictures by professional Airbrush-artists, they cannot believe that these pictures are made by using this 'spraycan'. Most of the people around do not know anything about Airbrush, though you can see products, which are sprayed, everyday: The movie 'Beauty and the Beast' by Walt Disney is coloured with the Airbrush, science-illustrations in your schoolbook are made with the Airbrush. Posters are made with Airbrush. Illustrations on magazines are made with Airbrush. Comics are... I draw graphics for some time now and I think that I have reached a quite good quality (See for yourself: How did you like my Titlepic?), which is still getting better. So it tempted me to proof my talents in creating real pictures for everyone. I think many graphicians want to do that and so I wrote this article: Buy an Airbrush (A good beginner-set for about 400 DM), spray a bit around and don't be angry that you cannot spray as good as on Amiga in the beginning, get some training books and some time later you may be as good as Boris Valleijo (OOOPS?). DPaint forever! Ìend BCR: Hamburg BigCityReport: Hamburg   by Ace of Damian  Hello and Welcome to the BCR, this time about the heart of the North:  Hamburg,  the City that never sleeps! Here you have everything you want. Let`s start! The City of Hamburg has about 2.5 million people living in it, and so you can be sure to have fun and entertainment 24h a day. Kick off in the morning: In the City and around there are many little pubs where you can have breakfast and enjoy the morning with a cup of coffee. After that you can go shopping in the City. Drive to the Hauptbahnhof and get out of that building. To one side you can go straight to a sex`n crime- quarter, to the other side you have one of the most known shopping-streets in the world-The Moenckebergstrasse. Here you have many nice shops where you can buy almost everything. To get through all nice shops in this street and around, you need muuuuuch time. But that`s funny and never boring! When you`re hungry you can choose everything from McDonalds up to the Four Seasons. When the shops are closed you can walk to some famous parks like Planten Und Blomen, a really nice park to enjoy the early evening. you can also walk to your hotel and go to bed till later in the night. Get up and enjoy the number of Clubs, Discos and nice pubs. If I was you, I`d also spend one evening on the famous Reeperbahn, there are also cool Discos and, aehm, nice pubs! When you`re in Hamburg and want to have real fun you should buy a magazin called  PRINZ . In it you`ll find all adresses of pubs, Discos, Theatres, Cocerts and everything else that`s going on in this MegaCity. There are Discos for every kind of Music-flavor, from Rap to Metal. But that`s not all. Hamburg is also a nice place to do Sightseeing. If yer a friend of this, just go to Hauptbahnhof. From there a special Sightseeing-Bus starts and shows you the City. If you wanna go alone, here are some interesting sights:  - The Michel  (it`s a very old cathedral)  - The Harbour  (one of the biggest in Europe)  - The Reeperbahn  (famous for many sex-shops and nice Pubs and Discos)  - The Fernsehturm  (from there you have a nice look over Hamburg, there is also a restaurant and a Disco in it)  - Planten und Blomen  (a nice Park to enjoy the early evening) ...and many more. ¥ If you have the plan to go to Hamburg this year or somewhen, just write to me (ACE) and I`ll give you some more information. Ìend In Your Room In Your Room   by Friendly/Damian  I'm in your room. It is dark and it smells bad. I can see shadows on the wall, knowing that I'm not alone. You are here. I feel you. You creep around, me, see me shivering, make noises above me. I don't know what to do. I am frightened. There is a small window next to me. It is shut. I watch out of it but cannot see anything. Just deep swamps and darkness. I'm in your room. You could kill me if you want, you could pull me if you want. That moment I think I can see you, you are away, like a gentle breeze of air. I hate you and I love you. You are unimaginable ugly, absolutly beautiful. I want to kiss you, want to run away. But I can't do anything. I'm in your room. I hear voices at the door. They shout and cry and laugh. I want to shout, want to knock at the door, but I cannot find it. I cannot see the door. The voices go away, never been reality. You make me crazy, make me mad. I see colours and light in the darkness, but it is nothing. It is you. You are everywhere, you're in me, but not really. I want to touch you, want to hold you, but I can't. I'm in your room. Your room is so great, so high. I cannot move, it is so narrow. The room is so small. I lost my heart, I gained nothing. I gained you. I have a letter. A letter to you. I want to give it to you. I'm in your room. I have a knife. I want to push it into you. I'm in your room. Looking out of the window, I realise that there is no future, no past - nothing. Just you. I'm in your room. This text was written after hearing the song 'In your room' by Fury in the Slaughterhouse and noticing that I am a dog... end Enjoy Life Enjoy Life...   by Ace of Damian  Well, we might have different opinions, but maybe you agree with me. Many guys ask themselves how to have fun in life. I found out that there`s only one way for me to have real weird fun- when I`m chilling with Friendly! of course it`s also nice to have fun with my girlfriend but that`s not the same. When Friendly and I are doing one of our tours than only one thing counts: having fun without any plans. We`re doing journeys always without planing, coz that keeps the interesting and surprising sides of the fun. At almost every trip we slept at the train station and everything went cool. For example: Read the "Nice Trip"- article in  The Jungle  1. Here`s another one: Last year we drove home from CeBit in Hannover. When we (Ace, Friendly, Bullet and Home Boy) arrived in Lueneburg (20 KM from Winsen), we relised that the last train to Winsen left 2 minutes ago and the next one would go at about 5:00 am. So we mainly stood in the building but also tried to reach our parents to get away from the station. Finally Friendly and I discovered a half-broken window of one of the shops. There was nobody else in the building so we crashed it and got some sweets out of it (gosh, we were hungry!) Now you might wonder what bad guys we are, but the window was very, very small! Well, we reached nobody till 2:00 am and then some station-guys appeared and kicked us out, coz the building had to be shut. We took a taxi and drove home. I hope you got the message. No matter where you are or what you`re doing-do it with fun. If you have a real good friend then take my advice and try a trouble-trip. You`ll like it! This year we wanted to fuck up whole europe with the Inter-Rail-Ticket but since january the following countries quit the membership of the Inter-Rail Staff: France, Spain, Portugal, Marocco and Italy. What can I say, that were the most interesting countries and so we`re not longer interested in it. By now we`re thinking of a flight, maybe to Tunesia, spain or somewhere. We`ll see. end Hitler and Jugoslavia Hitler and Jugoslavia   by Friendly/Damian  The whole world shivers when they listen to stories about the second world war. All that dreadful things that have happened in the german KZ's. Everybody would kill Hitler again, if he had the chance to (Well, except the idiotic fascists). And a lot of people in the world still hate Germany. Today, nobody would accept that Germany could do such things once more and that's good! And let's make a short trip to the southeast of Europe. There lies a really nice state with really nice immigrants, his name: Jugoslavia. The people in this land have just one problem: They hate eachother! Well, that won't disturb me, everywhere are people who hate eachother, but do they kill eachother? Do they do mad things to themselves? The war in Jugoslavia is not a better one than the second world war - it's worse! I have seen a report from a little boy out of Jugoslavia and I couldn't stand it! He told about some soldiers who attacked the hometown of the kid. They did some bad things with the women of the town, but that is quite 'normal' in a war. They were very violent and thrashed the men soundly. Then they forced the boy to bite off the scrotum of some men! (Scrotum is the little bag a man has under his penis.) In case the men were crying the soldiers took some wire and a needle and sew the lips of the men together. All these things happen next to us and nobody really cares about Jugoslavia, but about all this fascism-crap in Germany. That's terrible but all those awful things, happening in Jugoslavia are o.k.? In Kuwait the USA destroyed the forces of Saddam, but nobody wants to restore the peace in Jugoslavia, because they are afraid of a 'second Vietnam'! It's something wrong in the world when such things can happen. But fascism in Germany is still the worsest thing in Europe, isn't it? end Philosophically... Philosophically...  Why do we need the arts - not just painting but literature, drama, music, film, and all the other forms of creative expression? The answer is that, without the arts, education is not education but vocational training. Many of our universities are turning out graduates who are beautifully trained but poorly educated. Practicing one's profession successfully calls for skills in dealing with people, for being able to comprehend the connection between cause and effect, and for the ability to carry the burdens placed on the individual in a free society. The arts help prepare the human mind for such needs. Art is a system invented by nature to enable human beings to come into full possession of their higher senses. It is a form of wealth in which all can share and which is dependent not on ownership but on desire and perception. It is a form of currency convertible into golden moments, readily accessible and easily possessed. Art is a form of communication independent of language. It is a way of speaking truth without proof. It is a way of manifesting human uniqueness. It is a way of reminding ourselves that life is infinitly fragile, infinitly precious. It is a way of teaching us that this planet is the only one in the solar system possessing the numberless conditions that make human life possible. Art is a promise we make to ourselves to live life to the fullest. It is a means of lighting up the imagination, enabling us to see deeply into our visions. It is a way of breaking apart the seeds of time and opening ourselves to the enchantment and exuberance offered by the history of the race. Art is a way of telling us that true freedom is the highest price in the universe, the supreme manifestation of collective achievement. It helps us to learn that freedom is protected and preserved not just by power but by wisdom and the full exercise of the moral imagination. It is a way of assigning values to things we think about and do. Finally, it is a way of imparting meaning to life and life to meaning. Taken from 'How to speak truth without proof' by Norman Cousins. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. - Langston Hughes - Think about it... About The Music of The Jungle Facts and Future of my Music   by MINDBLAST of DAMIAN  In the first issue of The Jungle I had no chance (or better no time) to tell you some details and facts about my music life and my tune which was released in  The Jungle  issue no.1.... The tune in the first issue was called - SPIRIT of LIFE - and was dictated to all people who do not only get impressed by shitty techno-patterns. I think to understand the ups and downs in this pice of music you must listen to it for several times because there is no straight melody or a kind of a refrain in it. This tune gets his atmosphere because of its variety of speeds and its often changing noise level. However, it was inspirated by some classical composions and some film-soundtracks which gave me the feeling to try something in this direction. In this context i would like to send a message to Jester of Sanity: I heard you said that some of my samples sounded like my sampler would sometimes have a breakdown - You are completely right but the unnerving noise in some samples were caused by bad quality of some AAD CDs I took them from. Thanks for your statement - I hope this time the samples sound better because they were all directly taken from my synthesizers... By the way, how does your minimal art tape run ? I think i will order one the next days because i always loved your tunes on Amiga especially the tune called Wizardry. But back to my tunes.. I think there is nothing more to say about - SPIRIT of LIFE - so lets move over to the one to which you are listening at the moment (or have you switched it off ?). This little tune is called - Pianomania - and was mostly made in a very bad mood. It mainly uses 5 different piano sounds (one for 1 oktave) which were sometimes mixed with some strings and a trumpet. It was composed only in three nights because Ace wanted to release the diskmag very soon. By this tune i want to express some of my depressing feelings and inspirations i get sometimes when i am alone. I this mood you can wonderfully create deep piano tunes. But do not think i will always create material like this in the future. In the next demos we are going to release you will find all other kinds of styles, too. But i think the first releases of a new musician should not be standart Amiga tunes because they would not be remembered by anyone. My aim is to bring some music with feeling in it to the scene and to differ from from the mass of Amiga tunes. I know that my style will not be liked by everyone but that is what i want. If you have fun in making music of if you have something to remark then do not be shy and contact me under the following address:   MINDBLAST of DAMIAN Bardenweg 102, 2093 Stelle Germany  Of course only for music an no illegal shit like stupid games...... Bye Bye..... end New Postcodes New Postcodes   by Ace of Damian  Maybe you`ve heard of the change of Germany`s Postcodes somewhen. From the 1st of July on, there will be new, longer ones, now with 5 numbers. Why that? Well, since the GDR joined us (FRG), there many Postcodes used twice, one time in the east and the other in glory west. So we had to write an O or an W before the Postcodes to get the letter to the right adress. That`s no longer needed when the new codes are there. But on the other side it will be big trouble for Swappers or others that have a friend in Germany. The swappers within Germany have to tell all foreign contact, that there`s a new Code from summer on, and the foreigns have to watch that they use the new Code. I bet many Swappers forget it and so we have the mess. What will happen with the letters which have the old Postcode on it? They will finally arive at the right addy, but with a loooooooong delay. So Germans take my advice and write the foreigners your new address early, so that you won`t have these delys. end Garfield Cartoon You speak english very well... You speak english very well...   by Friendly/Damian  This is a short story about two strangers who meet in London. Unfortunatly, I think you won't find out the joke of this story if you do not speak german, because it's just some fun with the german language.  Okay ... two strangers meet in London. They start a conversation but they have to use their dictionary quite often. - Hello Sir, how goes it you? - Oh, thanks for the afterquestion. - Are you already long here? - No, first a pair of days. I'm not out London. - Thunderweather, that overrushes me. You see not so out. - That can yes beforecome. But now what other. My hairs stood to mountains as i the traffic saw. So much cars give it here. - You are heavy on the woodway if you believe that in London horsedroveworks go. - Will we now a beer drink go. My throat is outdried. But look, there is a guesthouse, let us man go there! - That is good think. Equal goes it loose. I will only my shoeband close. - Here are we. Make me please the door open. - But there is a beforehangingcastle, the economy is to. How sorry! Then I will go back to the hotel, it is already retard. On againsee! - Oh yes I will too go.

This year, a organization called 'Romerike Dataforening' consisting of members from Crusaders, Deadline and Exile will be the arrangers.   The date for this conference will be 7th - 10th of April 1993   The location seems to be Skedsmohallen, as it was the last time. The general concept will be somewhat like the previous conference, but we expect more people, more computers, more software houses, and just about more of everything.  Bulletin number: 2  Prerelease!   r e g i s t e r i n g s y s t e m i n f o r m a t i o n  As you all know, the registering system we used last time was one of the things that caused the most problems for us. This time we will be doing things quite differently. Remember that this is a prerelease, and matters have not been quite settled yet.   Before you arrive  On the invitation, there will be a small piece of paper which is the registration form. This should be filled out BEFORE you arrive so that you don't have to spend time doing that when you get there. The form will have questions like name/handle, group, and so on..   When you arrive  At the entrance, billions and billions of small slips of paper will be available. Yes, the same registration form as on the invitation since 99% of you will have forgotten the invitation and the rest of you haven't received the invitation at all. You will now have to fill this form out (by hand) before you can enter.   When you pay  On each form there is a unique number. This number will be used later. When you pay, the person receiveing the fee will check your handwriting to see if it's humanly possible to read - or not. So, no computers while you register :-) You will also be given a badge not unlike the one used at The Party II in Denmark. This badge will show that you have payed.   While you party (Part 1)  While you run around having the best time of your life, dozens of slaves will be punching all your names into a humongous database. Each person having a unique number.   While you party (Part 2)  There will be a big monitor constantly running a slide show with information. This will at all times show the number of people who have registered. Also, hard copies of the names of the registered persons will be available.   Time to vote  When it's time to vote, a special voting form will be available. This form will have a field where you must enter the same name you registered with and the same number you have on your sticker. If the number doesn't match the name, the vote will be discarded. After a while, the forms are handed in, and an even bigger bunch of slaves will be counting the votes using the same well-written and well-tested software as used to count the Eurochart votes.  Bulletin number: 3     t h e g a t h e r i n g 1 9 9 3 p a r t y b b s   There will NOT be a party BBS at The Gathering 1993! The resons have been explained many times, but here they are again. * We need ALL the people we can get to help things run well with the party itself. We do not have any people left over to be Sysop of such a system. * For us, The Gathering 1993 will be even more expencive than The Gathering 1992, so the extra expences of the hardware required (modems, computers, network, telephone lines etc) are simply more than we can afford. * Even though the party BBS system at The Gathering 1992 didn't work as well as it should have, the reasons for having a party BBS in the first place is only to make party releases available to people not at the party as soon as possible. Releases from The Gathering 1993 will be installed on THIS system instead. * We cannot prevent any other groups from setting up party BBSes but remember that if such should be set up, they will not be located at the party place and would therefor not have the desired effect. Also, Crusaders and Deadline wishes to have NO RESPONSABILITY WHAT SO EVER of such systems!  Bulletin number: 4   t h e g a t h e r i n g 1 9 9 3 m a i n c o m p e t i t i o n s i n f o r m a t i o n   - g e n e r a l i n f o r m a t i o n - - b e s t a m i g a d e m o - - b e s t g r a p h i c s - - b e s t m u s i c - - b e s t p c d e m o -   General Information ------------------- Contestants for ANY of the main competitions must contact the Information Desk BEFORE the deadline to receive a special envelope and a special information sheet that is to be filled out before entering the product. On this information sheet you fill out a couple of fields regarding the product. * Products that have been entered in other competitions can NOT be entered in any of the main competitions * Media (diskettes) that contain the product will NOT be returned * Once a product is entered, the product may not be modified further * Deadlines will be held as far as possible, but we will of course accept products a short while after since it seems to be impossible for some to finish something at the right time :-)   'Best Amiga Demo' Competition Information -----------------------------------------   * Demo *MUST* run without problems on Kickstart 1.3 and 2.0 machines * Demo *MUST* run without problems on machines with 512K, 1 and 2Mb chipMEM * ALL entered demos will be shown in full length * One person from the group that is presenting the demo *MUST* be available to control any interactive parts of the demo (Pressing mouse, controlling features with joystick and so on)   'Best Graphics' Competition Information ---------------------------------------   * All pitures will be judged in ONE category only * Pictures from ANY machine can be entered, but the picture *MUST* be displayable on a Amiga ECS chipset machine (PAL) * Pictures *MUST* be entered on a single 3.5" AmigaDOS or MS-DOS Double Density format diskette * If more than a certain number of pictures are entered for the competition, a jury consisting of non-competing graphics artists will pick out a portion of the pictures for a final   'Best Music' Competition Information ------------------------------------   * All modules will be judged in ONE category only * Modules from ANY machine can be entered, but the module *MUST* be playable on an Amiga computer with NO extra sound enhancing hardware * Contestants can choose if the module is to be played in mono or stereo * Each module will be played for 3.0 minutes * All entries for the music competition must be entered on a 3.5" AmigaDOS or MS-DOS Double Density diskette.

We'll help you as best we can with the equipment and space. Also, if there's a 'final' in your competition, you can run it over the big screen and possibly over the sound system. Get together with a couple of friends and arrange your VERY OWN competition!  Bulletin number: 6   t h e g a t h e r i n g 1 9 9 3 s o u n d s y s t e m i n f o r m a t i o n   Some of you who attended The Gathering 1992 party complained that the sound was sometimes more than a human could cope with. This time we will instead of having two extremly powerful speaker systems in one end of the hall, have up to eight extremly powerful speaker systems located in each corner and at the longer sides. No, just kidding :-) The speakers will of course be smaller and just enough to give a perfect sound to everyone in the hall during the main competitions and so on. The sound system will NOT play background music like it did last year! If you want music while you work, we suggest that you bring your own portable stereo that won't ruin the sleep for 2000 people. The sound system will be used for messages during the party. Such messages can be handed over to the Information Desk, should you have something to say to everyone.  Bulletin number: 7   t h e g a t h e r i n g 1 9 9 3   Just wanted to let you know some of the people we expect to arrive at The Gathering 1993.

The CAMEL Corporation is an awesome duo consisting of ICronite and Milkshake (both ex-Anarchy DK). The reason for us to quit Anarchy and make our own little elite team, is that all the other creative danish (A) members left to found or join new groups - therefor we didn't see any advantage in being (A) members anymore! We have only got one problem in the Camel Corp. - it's called music! Neither ICronite nor I are able to compose music, we are therefor always interested in reciving modules from skilled musicians for inclusion in one of our future productions (soon to come - a small intro - working title "Dire Camels on MTV" - and we still haven't got any music for it!). As spreading is also a (minor) problem, we would like to get in touch with various SysOps. If you promise to spread our productions, you can get your BBS number in our future intros & demos for free! This time there is only one BBS advertised in the intro, and that is because it was spread exclusively on that board (greetings to you Trix/Anarchy for doing it!). Before I end I'd like to send a few messages to some of my ex-team members. Slammer & Xience / Melon Dezign: Let's hope that Seen (the pilot) can motivate you better than Anarchy did... Hannibal, Slash, Dan & Nuke / Lemon: Good luck with Lemon. Hope you can make something (wonderful) out of it... And of course I wish all those of you who are still in Anarchy, good luck in the future! Keep the flame alive! Anyway, if you want to contact Camel Corp. for any reasons (NOT swapping though), you should write to: Kent Stephan Jensen (Milkshake) Fuglebakkevej 112, 2th 8210 Aarhus V Denmark Amiga Halloween Conference 1993 PRE-RELEASE of the invitation to THE AMIGA HALLOWEEN CONFERENCE 93 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  WHY? ~~~~   As we are responsible for the releases of the fab European Top 20 and also will deal the Scene Oscars Rewards, we decided to arrange a Huge Conference in Sweden.

Snacks Snacks   by Ace of Damian  Welcome to another kitchen-article written by Ace. This time I wanna tell you some receipes which you can do if you don`t have enough time to make something big. Let`s start with ...  Hawaii- spits -------------  What you need: 4 slices of Toast 4 thick slices of Cheese (Gouda) 4 slices of Ananas 1 Egg and the spits of course! What to do: Take the Toast, Cheese and Ananas and cut it into pieces, but don`t cut them too small, otherwise you`ll have some trouble! now put the stuff on the spits. Toast, Cheese, Ananas, Toast, Cheese, ... till the spit is full! Do that till you don`t have anymore of the stuff. Now take the Egg and devide it into white and yellow. Thake the white part and mix it a bit, till it`s getting real white. now turn the spits in it, give some Butter in a pan and put the spits in it, until the Cheese starts running away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Sausages in sleeping-bag ------------------------  What you need: 4 Sausages some slices of Cheese some slices of Ham What to do: Open the Sausages with a cut.

(Whooops!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Strong Max ----------  What you need: a slice of Bread Butter a big, thin slice of Cheese some slices of Salami 1 Egg What to do: Put the Butter on the Bread, then give the Cheese and the Salami on it. Now roast the Egg and put it on the Bread, and that`z it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don`t fool me for the names! I just tried to convert the German names to English, and that`s what happened! Something to Bite Something to bite   by Friendly/Damian   This time I have collected just a small number of recipes (one!). I'm sorry, but I didn't have much time to finish this section before the deadline.  - Sweet-sour pork   Time for preparation: 60 minutes For 4 persons you need... - 500 g pork - 1 white of egg - 2 big spoons sojasauce and sherry - 30 g potato flour - salt, black pepper For the paste - 1 egg - 40 g flour - 1/8 l beer - salt - 2 l oil - 80 g potato flour For the sauce - 2 big spoons oil - 2 red peppers in stripes - 200 g bamboo - 2 pineapple slices in cubes - 2 big spoons vinegar - 2 big spoons ketchup - 3/8 l chicken broth - 30 g sugar, salt - 1 biiig spoon potato flour Few! Let's start the journey: 1. Cut the pork into pieces. Add the rest. Put the pork and the rest 15 minutes on the fireplace. 2. Mix all the things for the paste and stir them. Heat the oil up to 180 degrees. Dry the pork and cover the pieces with paste and put them for 4 minutes into the hot oil. 3. Heat the oil in a pan. Broil the pieces of bamboo, pineapples and red pepper for 3 minutes. Add the rest, not the the potato flour. Put the potata flour into hot water and cook it. Add the potato flour water to the rest and pour the sauce onto the pork. Bon appetit! Little kitchen tip: How about some rice and sojasauce? Something to Drink Something to Drink   by Friendly/Damian  - Icechocolate with coffee  Time for preparation: 10 minutes.

Put the cocoa into the glasses. Finally, drop a bit cream on every drink, et voila! Little kitchen tip: These kind of drinks are very good in the hot summer. But if you are a bit fat, don't drink it!  - Pharao  Time for preparation: 15 minutes For 4 persons you need: - 1/2 l water - 8 small spoons coffee - 1/8 l cream - 12 pieces of sugar - 4 glasses (2 cl) rum Take off: 1.

WHOOOOOPS!?!   by Ace of Damian  Well, you wonder why this article is called WHOOOOOPS!?! and it`s published in the charts-section? Let me tell you the story: It all started so nice when I got many vote-files(spread on the Crossover- Packseries) everyday. I put them all on one disk. As I wanted to count the votes I didn`t find the disk. I searched through my room, but I din`t find anything. The last place I looked at was the box with the sendings which were ready to be sent away. What can I say, I found the disk in an envelope with the addy of 4T Thieves/Alcatraz on it. I took the disk and tried to load the files but WHOOOOOPS!?! there was only some other stuff on the disk. So I deleted almost all votes, beside the ones on paper. They weren`t enoughto make a good chart so I`m waiting for more votes and the paper-votes from the last time will also be counted in  the Jungle  3. Good Night! w me." After I stood up, she removed the ties that she had tied around my hands. "Maybe we can use these later," she said with a playful smile. I followed Amanda into the back bedroom. As we entered the room, Lisa was just stripping the covers off the bed. "We'll generate our own heat", she joked. Amanda pushed me forward onto the bed, and told me to lie on my back. Lisa and Amanda climbed up onto the bed, one on either side of me. Then each leaned across me towards the other, and started kissing and fondling each other, practically ignoring me. I didn't think I had it in me, but I could feel my cock starting to stir, and become more aware of its surroundings. A few minutes of this went by, and then the girls moved down to me, Lisa kissing me with playful nips, and Amanda was rubbing and stroking my legs. I was playing with Lisa's breasts, and fondling her nipples. She must've had very sensitive nipples, because she started to moan rather quickly. They switched places, and Lisa started licking and playing with my cock again. Whereas Amanda was rather slow and deliberate in her cocksucking, Lisa was very demanding, rubbing my cock all over her face, using her hair to brush against it, then taking the head into her mouth, while jacking the shaft. Amanda straddled my face, facing towards Lisa who was doing things to my cock that had me abuzz. Amanda would slowly lower her cunt towards my waiting tongue, let me massage her lips and clit with my tongue, and then would pull away. This went on for quite some time, until I felt some movement by my hips. Lisa straddled my hips, and started rubbing my cock all over her pussy lips. She'd then place my cock at the entrance to her dripping pussy, and slowly lower herself onto it, just enough for the head to pop inside. She'd then move in a circular motion, dipping down just enough for me to feel the slickness of her cunt. Amanda started mashing her cunt against my face, rubbing her clit all over my snaking tongue. Lisa was taking me all the way inside her, and when she'd hit bottom, she'd rub her clit hard against the base of my cock. Amanda and Lisa were kissing, and rubbing each other's tits. It was too much for me, and I exploded inside Lisa, in an orgasm as powerful as the one earlier. "Done so soon?" said Lisa. "Then scoot off the bed, and let us get to work". I moved to the edge of the bed, and turned to watch. Lisa and Amanda moved into a 69 position, tongues
