The texts that you'll find on this disk-magazine, now and in future, are written by many very different people and so the texts may be in conflict with each other. But because this is a free magazine (No russian jokes atleast in this number), it is all up to the editors, what they think about things and what they write to the pages. Though we in DeathStar don't support any political idealism and are absolu- tely neutral when it's up to this mag, we keep the rights to edit or to not publish the texts that someone of you may (you should) send to us. Anyway, the advertisements in the ad-pages are published exactly as they came. The only thing that we may change in the ads is the layout. If the text is typed in more than 39 chars per line we will re-type it to fit the standards of the magazine. RIGHT'N'UP\328,24 The prices... It's natural that we will collect a little payment for the advertisements for keeping the size of them in reasonable limits. And so we have decided following: - for 39 chars width and 8 chars high ad, we charge you with one disk. So do not expect your disk to be re- turned if you send an ad. - for 80 width and 10 high or 39 width and 16 high ad the payment is double so include one extra disk. - for bigger ads you should contact another maggie or pay more! So, if you are for example planning to have a copy-party, and want everyone to notice it,write an advertisement to our mag. It'll cost you only some disks and your party will be noticed by many and many Amiga-freaks. Other way paying your ad is writing an interesting text.Everyone who writes texts to our mag, is free to have an 39'8 advertisement.So take your chance, write a story for example about what happened on the latest party or meeting where you were in and if your story is published, you can have an ad for your next party partessimum. -Drucer}^\, --------------------------------------- AUSTRALIAN SCENE --------------------------------------- The AMIGA first landed upon Australian shores in the form of the A1000. It was monstrously over-priced and was thus not a great success. But NO-ONE disputed the AMIGA's incredible GFX, Sound, Capabilities etc. It was only a minor success with businessess who used it for records , etc. (Not really accessing its full potential). Later that year the A2000 came. It was not very successful once again due to it's extravagant cost. But EVERYONE wanted an AMIGA but NO-ONE was willing to spend that kind of cash. So it was no suprise when the A500 was introduced that masses of people trotted down to their local Commodore dealer with A$1,000 in their sweaty hands eager to purchase the new A500. From that day (or week ... or month) AMIGA sales went up .... and up .. and up some more. EVERYONE wanted one All was going well for the AMIGA when suddenly a company renowned for its making of one-bit video games pops up and offers for the same price of one half-meg Amiga a one-meg 16-bitter wid a free Monitor thrown in more good\328, measure. Who was that company? SEGA? MSX? No ... wrong it was none other than ATARI!!!! Now the spotlight was off the AMIGA and on the ATARI. Now the rush was on to get an ATARI ST(upid) machine....... The whole affair was a bit like a filter, all the losers lept onto the ATARI whilst all the people with IQ's larger than their shoe size were drawn towards the illustrious AMIGA. This was (or is) great from our point of view (that is us, the Cracker, Coder, Hacker etc.) because no self-respectin Cracker (etc.) likes to think that the major users of his chosen comp. are losing lamers who wouldn't know an RTS from a taxi, think a virus is a cold, and think that Boot-Blox are things you wear when playing Football !!! But, anyway it was good. Slowly but surely chosen few searched out the secrets of coding 68000 and cracking. These few people were the AMIGA's first Australian Crackers!!! I am happy to say that I was one of the key-founders of Australia's first Group to not be deemed LAME! Anyway, soon groups sprang up everywhere ... some lame, some very lame, some incredibly lame. But lets deviate Well, change the page, will ya!}\, AUSTRALIAN SCENE ............. continue from this LAME subject and move onto a bit about US, the Cracker (etc.) We (natuarally being thousands of kms from ANYWHERE!) found it VERY hard to get the much needed original. So what did we do? Simple. We began coding demos, intros, utilities, even the odd game. This was cool because it gives us something UNIQUE (therefore HOT) to send. At first Australian Hackers were very, very lame. But as time progress we began gaining many, many, many, contacts and so now, in 1989, the software reaches us, in some cases, before it lands in some of the Europe countries. This is something that we are all extremely proud of! And I'm sure you would be as well considering our predicament. So we can all look forward to a time when maybe the world will know Australia for its fine Groups and not for its high population of lamers. Incidently I'd like to add that at the moment in Australia the penalty for hacking stands at 10 years jail and A$48,000 (the price of 48 Amigas) fine! And at the moment the Government is investigating the subject of Computer\328, Crime. We Australian Crackers have to be VERY VERY careful or else its goodbye HOME, hello CELL! These facts were delivered to us by: Lords Of Conquest from Australia --------------------------------------- FAKTA JUTTU --------------------------------------- Well, that was just that kinda story that we would like you to send for this mag. It is good English, easy to read, tells about some interesting things and most of all, that story was very well written: I didn't have to edit it at all! Now, if someone is planning to make an article samelike the above, please note that you should not only write about 'Lamers in ?????', but write also about everything else that happens in your country. Best groups, idiots (not lamers, but Idiots!), police, penalties for hacking etc. Because the story should be fair,you should be a member of a good group,'coz then you have no reason twist things in your story.Ofcourse loosers are also welcome to write, but the normal story, that loosers write is that everyone better than 'em are gays or shitheads, but that's not true! -DRUCER}^\, --------------------------------------- GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!! --------------------------------------- We in the REAL Crush want to tell you about the girls in the scene! It seems that there aren't many on Amiga, b'cauz many of them are on PC-engines or only play with her computer! So, we are one of the only groups that consists almost fully of girls, which are good in gfx, sounds etc., but we see that the male freaks says very often that "Girls are stupid" and that "They don't know any- thing about programming and about the scene!". That's absolutly shit! We hate such guys! So we hope that in future the girls will be accepted 100% by all male freaks !!!!!! Now I have to say about a group which stole our name! We have no (!) members in Norway! Those guyz who prefer to be a member of Crush in Norway are liars! A good friendship and a fight for the right in the new year! (The girls of the real Crush!) --------------------------------------- Well, this was another quite ok story, even it was so short, but you got the facts, or what??? ---------------------------------------\328, --------------------------------------- QUESTIONS (What, where, when and who) --------------------------------------- All (!) our contacts should answer the following questions in your next letter because we want to find out what you like this maggie...

At the start we had some trouble.For instance we arranged a live mixer, but he couldn't come because his car broke down. And ofcourse the long awaited megademo which was not finished at the date of the party. Not all demoparts were ready, some of them were not crunched and the loader had to be made at the party. As allways (?) this went wrong a few times. Anyway we finished the megademo somewhere in the night (still one part is not on it). There are some plans for a megademo II but you will hear about that soon enough. The party started at 11.00 am and at that time the place was already packed with freaks, so we had to improvise and put up some tables outside of the room. After an hour these places were also taken and that caused that many people couldn't place their amiga (sorry for that). Undoubtely the best game on the party was Dragon's Lair (original),\328, which is really amazing so if you don't own a megabyte or a amiga 1000 you buy one only for this game! Exterminator showed a little preview of his new game 'Sanatorium' on video. Some games were released and many demos (some finished at the party) saw the daylight. But maybe you know that a real party starts when the visitors are gone and the best party was yet to come ..... We consider this party as succesfull but not perfect so another one will follow soon. Reported by Slide/TJC --------------------------------------- Yeeee! Classic article about a party! Ofcourse we like to publish good party- reports and so everytime you have one, we suppose to get a report of it! Don't let us down and keep the facts of your meeting on yourselves, but share them with us! --------------------------------------- This is not the last page though this number is only a short one, so please try changing the page or something else (Your head???? Telephone???? Music????) (Atleast you could try it!!! Please!!!) ---------------------------------------}^\, --------------------------------------- ADS - FRESH FISH SOLD HERE TODAY! --------------------------------------- Well, I think everyone understands what this page is for, so I'll just put the ads on... --------------------------------------- The REAL Crush Enterprises Ltd. is searching 4 new contacts and hot coders PLK 032984-D 844 Straubing West-Germany PS.

This is the last page of this mag and it's time for you to press ESC to see another megademo-part. But before you do that, I've still got something to say to ya! Making a magazine is quite horrible, when you have to spend hours and hours changing the articles to fit the pages and so I truly hope that you send many articles to us and when you do, please type it in right way. That means that you should write the story in 39 chars width lines and that's all!All you have to look at when typing the text is that there aren't more than 39 chars/line. Another thing: The language used in this magazine is and will be English. We won't publish storys written in German, French or anything else. Only non-English language that can be written to the pages of this mag, is Finnish and even it will be used only in some jokes or something. Enough of speeches, press ECS.
