review: PF is not a bad demo, just a little blocky and too techno at
times :) Seriously, there are several good routines here, some of which
I've never actually seen before - like the waterfall vector. The music is
slavishly timed to the demo, almost to the extent where it's too much.
The strength that timing music to the effects gave demos like Sanity's
"WOC" was largely on the base that they didn't time EVERYTHING to the
music; but when they did it was always powerful.
PF opens with a cool raytraced logo, and the first effect is a really
block gouraud. Fortunately, things do get better as the demo progresses.
The plasma zoom and the aforementioned waterfall vectors are nice
effects, not to mention the moving lightsource around the 'bukk' (sorry,
don't know the English word :D)! Other nice things are the voxel routine
and the texturemapping. Overall, this is not a bad demo, though it
suffers from the 'trying too hard' syndrome. Less is sometimes more,
remember that. It now seems the people that made this have abandoned the
Amiga for the PC...on the strength of PF, I'd say that is definitely a
loss for the scene. The two 'additional graphicians' I couldn't see
mentioned anywhere in the demo... [glenn]

Damones [new] (DMS, http://www.damones.net)
-------------------------------------------
Damones seem to be based on illegal activities, like cracking. The reason I
have written 'new' at the top is that they suddenly appeared again after so
much time, it is only fair to have a separator to represent the stretch of
time in which they were absent from the scene. I do not know what the
relation is between 'old' and 'new' Damones, but one of their recent ascii
logos read 'since 1991'. The latest release I have seen was date 03/99.
Damones Assembly 98 (1998, 64k Intro).
code/gfx/music: n/a (The Player 6.1A format).
8th in the Assembly 98 64k intro competition.
review: I like the opening of this intro, really stylish with stars
travelling around a nice DAMONES logo with www.damones.net underneath...
But then they go and spoil everything when the next screen appears =(
The tune changes to a really hectic techno variation, and what is
obviously supposed to be a bottle of Finlandia Vodka, only with the word
DAMONES on the label instead, start spinning around the screen...and as if
that was not enough disappointment, then try this on: That's all there is.
Nothing more. So I went from thinking, "oh, this has a nice oldskool
feeling to it", to a total dislike. The 3d graphics engine used does not
really seem too impressive, just standard texturemapping with lightsource
as far as I can see, and with an animated background. No credits or even
production name appear anywhere inside the intro; the name above is based
on the assembly 98 result file. [glenn]

Danger Productions were a Swedish based demo group. After struggling though
1992 (Balance's "Magbox #1" [07/92] reported they had only 4 members left)
they died late in the year, and most member formed Orient.
1992 - Swedish swapper Skillimoes joined Orient around 06/92.
Delta X and Sam Haien was kicked.
Firelord got kicked, and then briefly joined 2000 AD 09/92.
All Finnish members were kicked out due to lameness 05/92.
Dangtro (1992, mid.05, ECS Intro).
code: Hijacker, Merlin (help), gfx: Harzak, Ufo, music: Trazer.
review: This opens up looking VERY traditional. The first screen contains
the standard setup of (top to bottom) logo - effect - scroller. The
effect, this time, is a normal glenz vector. Hardly exciting. I almost
started believing that was all there was when it suddenly jumped along to
the next effect: a sinescroller and a filled vector object combined.
Unfortunately this effect fucked up the display SEVERELY on my machine,
filling up the screen with green junk. Then it's back to the first screen
again, only with a new logo and a new effect for the endless end scroller.
The effect this time around was a glenz with a filled vector cube inside.
Get the picture? All together now: SEEN IT A MILLION TIMES BEFORE.
Thank you. Oh, BTW the tune's not half bad. It's one of those synth-
poppie things I love so much. [glenn]

Daniax

Daniax' is not a very notworthy group in demoscene history except for the
fact that famed Danish graphician Slash (later J.A.D.E.) was once a member.
Danish graphician Slash joined Kefrens 12/90.
Dansktoppen
-----------
Dansktoppen is not really a group, but rather a publication for the Danish

Darkage is an Italian based demo group, formed by Modem/Ram Jam in the early
days of 1997. They arranged the 'Spoletium' party in Italy in march 1998.
When Kaosmaster joined, he had the Ram Jam magchart "Showtime" with him.
1997 - Artwork's "Generation #24" [04/97] announced the group's birth.
Spanish coder DCB joined in august. The group then made it big at The
Italian Gathering in the following month, september, by winning both the
demo and intro competitions with "Vanilla Drug Overdose" [09/97] and "Crash"
[09/97] respectively! Shortly after, Italians EgoLoop (code, 08-09/97) and
Aud (music, 09/97) both left the scene.
1998 - English editor Kalf (Tony Landord) decided to leave the scene early
in the year, after being heavily criticized in an article in Seenpoint #7.
Ghandy, The Lawnmover Man (TLM) and Mod3m stopped swapping early in the
year.
2000 - Zito (editor) joined from Apathy, while Norwegian graphician
Bridgeclaw doublejoined from Gods early in the year. Cupid (code) left for
Iris. In december, the official Showtime site (done by Dire) was officially
opened at http://scenet.de/showtime/.
2001 - Graphician SuperK decided to leave the group for Iris. Early this
year, the entire group was shocked when italian coder, founder and leader
Modem (Paolo D'Urso) finally decided to leave the scene. After some internal
discussion, the rest of the members decided to keep the group going, and a
new main organizer was elected; Ghandy. April came with the Mekka Symposium
party, but the group's sole release this year was the intro "Welcome To Our
World II" in cooperation with Iris. After the party however, the group was
happily reinforced when talented German coder Stingray joined from Secretly.
Stingray immediately begun coding a musicdisk for swedish musician Racoon
(to feature graphics by Noogman/Scoopex), but was sidetracked to do the
final coding for Showtime. After a few nights of intense work, he could
present the latest issue, and "Showtime #16" [04/01] was released on the
26th of april, as the first issue with Zito as main editor. Stingray
released a fixed version of Kefrens' musicdisk "Multi Mega Mix" on the 25th
of july. Stingray released a fixed version of the old Equinox musicdisk
"Sonical Fantasia" on the 18th of august, then a collection of four fixed
Crack Inc cracktros on the 25th of august.

review: DVS is not a very good demo, unfortunately, despite some good
things here and there... Modem coded everything but one single part, which
is the best one in the entire demo. First of all, Darkage need to get
better graphicians, since the work in DVS is really inadequate...Just one
fullscreen pic by DeciBel is any good here. FBY's music is...acceptable.
I won't go into the other parts, but Washburn's envmap engine -
represented here by a rock-like object over an animated background, all in
the unusual color combination yellow/white - is pretty fast and good. And
the drug promotion part was REALLY unnecessary, guys... If Ecstasy helps
coding, then why aren't you making better demos? [glenn]

Crash (1997, 06.09, AGA 64k Intro).
code: Modem, EgoLoop, gfx: DeciBel, music: Aud.
Winner of The Italian Gathering 97 64k intro competition!
review: "Crash" is an unusual intro, actually - in that its main effect is
a a travel along a road with some roadside scenery... It's a showcase for
a routine they intend to use in a future game, they say, though we'd
recommend working a little more on it before releasing, 'cause hey - it's
pretty ugly in its present state :) Don't mean to be critical, Darkage,
but the routine looks unattractive in its present state. Perhaps some more
work on the textures would help... Another problem with "Crash" is that
it's too short - just the intro sequence and the road, and that's it -
show over. I find it hard to recommend this intro, unfortunately. Nowhere
does it mention any RAM requirements. [glenn]

Trip 98 Invitation (1997, late, Intro).
code: Modem, gfx: n/a, music: Corrosion.
review: Another professionally presented invitation intro, this one opens
with a euro logo (for some reason) rotated and stretched to the first bars
of the cool music. Then the text 'WELCOME TO...' is overlaid. It then
fades down before presenting a TRIP logo - which darkens and then the text
is overlaid. The text is standard 80 column topaz, no borders or nothing,
and is exactly the same as in the text invitation. [glenn]

review: "Sublime" is not all that bad actually, especially the shaded
face-mask impressed me. It even features some excellent design, especially
in the end where the text DARKAGE THE END floats from the corner of the
eye of Decibel's artistically rendered lady... Possibly Modem's best intro
ever! [glenn]

Spoletium 98 Invitation Intro (1998, .02, File).
code: Modem, gfx: Yure/Degeneration, Nork (endlogo), music: Corrosion.
review: A very basic invitation intro, but presented in a professional
way, makes this small Darkage prod come out just above average. It opens
with a Spoletium 98 logo, and then goes onto the invitation text reader
itself. The text is presented on an animated, swirling background, but it
doesn't retract from the reading experience. The intro is finished off
with a Darkage logo by Nork. [glenn]

Showtime #9 (1998, .02, AGA Diskmag).
GAL - code: Modem, gfx: Orome/Talent (title pic), MRK (panel), music:
Nork.
MAG - code: Randy, Modem (improvements), gfx: Orome/Talent (title pic),
Loop, Made, Pix, music: Maf/Syndrome, editor: Kaosmaster.
review: The first thing that strikes you about the mag part of
Showtime #9 is the nice music. It's a sort of sunny, happy reggae beat
that sets the mood for some nice melodies. You can almost see the
music video for this tune: the band all relaxed on a beach, drinking
cool drinks from coconuts :) Orome's title picture is also a nicely
done piece of art, and sets the mood nicely for the read ahead.
Contentwise, I'm not so impressed with Showtime, they still have a
little way to go before they're at the top of the heap. The most
important thing they might consider is taking a little more time to
delete some of the articles they're receiving. Right now it looks a
little too much like they're publishing everything the cat drags in
the door :) OK, that's harsh and perhaps a little unfair, but the
focus of the mag could be greatly improved by removing a few of the
more unnecessary articles.
Visually, Showtime looks pretty good - in most cases. While I'm a
little unsatisfied with the graphics for the mag part - especially the
unreadable icons irritated me a little - there are places where it
really shines. The graphics for the excellent chart section of
Showtime were done by Made, and are - as usual for him - of excellent
quality. Very very nice! The same goes for MRK's (another favorite of
mine!) graphics for the Gallery section. IMHO they should use that
instead of the panel graphics for the main mag part they use now.
I will do things 'a little backwards' here, and review the gallery
part of Showtime last :) Orome delivers another title picture, before
we get to the gallery part itself. It reminded me a lot of the
classic, original gallery - the one in the Crusaders' "EuroCharts".

review: Ooooooooookay... This 'demo' is a very Monty Python-y kind of
affair, recommended only if you care for that particular brand of humour.
And we're talking OLD monthy Python here, the weird-animation-kind,
complete with a blippy soundtrack with frequent dog barking on it =) I
found this small exercise humorous and entertaining, and even though it's
all done with tongue firmly planted in cheek, it seems competently enough
put together. The demo runs smoothly and troublefree on my machine.
Please note that this review refers to the 'final' version, released a
small while after the party. [glenn]

review: Well, first impressions always come with the intro, and this time
it's done by those productive guys from Ephidrena. It's a slightly gloomy
lil' thing, with the best part of it being the one where shaded pieces of
paper fall from the top of the screen and the backdrop looks like pages
from a newspaper, nice.
But we're here to review a mag not an intro, and I'm rearing to go, so:
doubleclicking that file we go! =) Impressions of the title picture and
the first page of text are generally good, though the main font bothers me
a little... Can't explain why, just don't give me the right vibe =) Anyhow
this, the 16th issue, is the first with Zito as main editor. Browsing the
articles first, I find a lot of the interesting things here are of the
'retro' variety - Allister Brimble has some music on mp3.com, Jester/Pygmy
Projects working with 100% Prophets! Diskmags used to tell you the entire
story in the old days, whereas now they explain the general situation and
give you a link to paste into your webbrowser... But with the internet
gaining strength, I guess this is the future, like it or not. I found the
articles concerning the ShaneTheWolfTheDog (now THERE'S an original
nickname!) affair highly amusing, and it pleases me to see the Showtime
staff brave enough to present both sides of the story, even when one
blatantly opposes Darkage. The main editorial problem with this issue, the
way I see it, is that it's been so long since the last issue that this one
has too much material to cover... There are LOTS of party reports and
results here, for most parties that took place since the last issue, and
some of these are like 6 months old, but that's not the point. In the old
days, a mag like ROM would cover a big event like The Party over MANY
pages - not just a short report and results, but pictures from the event,
interviews with the winners (and losers), etc. These reports only scratch
the surface of what could be done =( The 'diary' (news) and 'charts'
sections are fair, nothing special about them. I see little point in the
diary section, which could just as well have been a part of the mag.
The 'Gallery' is a separate file, and opens with a VERY stylish
"Showtime" title picture by Asarhad/Reason. The gallery is nicely done,
and was coded completely anew for this issue by Stingray. For the secret
part he mentions in the scroller, type 'WADE'! =)
The birth of the 16th issue of Showtime was a somewhat troubled one...
Just before this issue, long-time coder of the mag Modem finally decided
to leave the scene - which left the mag without a coder! Luckily some
solace was found in ex-Secretly member Stingray who said he would
undertake the coding responsibilities. He was sent the ShowTime sources,
and was immediately taken aback by the fact that it was A MESS! He totally
recoded the gallery, and fixed what he could on the mag itself. All this
is explained in an accompanying note, where he also promises to recode the
entire mag and give it a new outfit for the next issue! [glenn]

MAG - code: Mr.Tickle, gfx: Noogman/Scoopex (title), Bridgeclaw/Darkage^

"Superclear" by SuperNao/TBL, "The Four Seasons" by Chris Meland/
Noiseless Productions, "In A Blue Dream" by Virgill & Blackthorne,
editors: Ghandy (main), Zito (main), Gone/Darkage^Void (staff).
review: After the humorous cartoon-style intro was rounded off with an
excellent logo, we can double-click the icon for the 'pack' itself... I
must say expectations from this mag was high, partly because I knew it was
using Mr.Tickle's magengine (previously used for two issues of "Devotion"
from Nah-Kolor and Haujobb), and partly because I had been party to the
enthusiasm Zito and Ghandy had shown for the project in the weeks and
months prior to its release. And the result of their efforts, to be frank,
is actually quite good. It seems as if being freed from the reins of
making a pure 'news' mag (like Showtime), the two editors have been
allowed to let their creativity blossom without the burdens of a definite
deadline. There are still a lot of 'news' related material here, with a
lot of stuff about the controversy surrounding 3Amigos and the 'TG
incident', which dates back to april. Actually, the tone of this mag
reminds me very much of ROM (a mag Ghandy does not exactly share my views
on.... :), with a lot of topical articles spotlighting recent important
productions. And speaking of ROM, even that mag's old editor Mop gets
spotlighted here!
The amiga and pc scenes are forever bridging the gap between them, and
this mag is another step in that direction. It's been a trend recently in
pc scene mags that they are now showing increased respect towards the c64
and amiga scenes (where in the past they had none), and this especially
manifests itself in mags like Pain and Hugi on that scene. Ghandy has had
articles in both those magazines, and the editors of both (Unlock/Vantage
and Adok/Hugi) also write for this mag. This means some 'crossposting' of
articles - slightly irritating for those of us who read mags on both
platforms :) - but also means articles of a general interest to the scene
reach more readers and hopefully cause more awareness of each other. This
is, officially, a GOOD THING! :)
Audio-visually speaking, then. Like the "Devotion" engine has always
done, it has two title pictures, and you only get to see one each time. So
in order to see both, start the mag twice =) This time both are actually
great, done as they are by respected oldskool graphicians Noogman/Scoopex
and Bridgeclaw/Darkage^Gods. The all-new panels were done by Budgie/100%
Prophets^Layout, and though they are mainly texture-based, and made in a
lovely shade of sickening green, they are also clean and word reasonably
well. Only the 'index' button bothers me slightly, but perhaps that's just
me. The backgrounds also work reasonably well for once, which has
certainly not been the case with all mags that have attempted this
approach... No less than five modules are provided, with some by scene
personalities that I actually never had thought I would hear from on the
amiga again... like SuperNao and Chris Meland! I don't know if these are
real comebacks or just old, unused tunes but either way I welcome the
chance to hear these! Of the five, I would have to say Chris Meland's sits
the best in my ears.
So, to sum it up then? I must admit I haven't had the time to read this
mag 'cover to cover' yet, though I plan to do so later tonight or early
tomorrow. First impressions after 45 minutes of browsing the articles,
though, are very very good. Interesting articles that I look forward to
reading completely through, and an appealing user interface... What more
can you ask for? The mag engine is a tried and tested one that works
great, looks great and performs great. The 'new' JP is a force to be
reckoned with, now and in the future.
Please note that I myself had articles published in this mag, and that I
as a result perhaps disqualify myself from doing a non-partial review. I
just write this, so that noone will misunderstand and say that I had
alterior motives for giving the mag a good review. I gave it a good review
because I liked it, and for no other reason. [glenn]

particularly exciting or new about this intro, no outstanding effects,
graphics or music... The competition must have been AWFUL :) OK, I'm not
saying this just to put down the intro; as such, it's an OK production
with quite a lot of effects for only 70k, but isn't excellent in any
respect. The animations of the dancing woman are stored in the file as an
IFF animation. [glenn]

Deadline was originally a Norwegian group, which eventually devloped a
Finnish section that became more successful than the main group. The
Norwegian members were coarrangers of one of the earliest editions of The
Gathering. Later the Norwegian part of Deadline merged with main Gathering
organizers Crusaders, and these Norwegian members probably went along:
Freaky Angel (confirmed), Jellyfish (code), Mike (confirmed), Shady
(confirmed), TDK.
1992 - They cooperated with Crusaders on the invitation for The Gathering
92 [01/92], and coarranged the party with them in april. The finnish section
was born by Mellow-D and Doc.X from Razkels in the spring. Nutcase, Roland
and Visage joined from Eremation. They released several productions before
the end of the year; "1st Intro" [08/92], "Mustro" [09/92], "Notelines"
[fall/92], "Dentro" [10/92] and finally "Xmas Intro" [12/92]. By this time
the Norwegian section had stopped releasing stuff altogether.
1993 - The finnish division died in the spring of 93. Many members - at
least Dionysus (code, 12/92-), Bad Karma (swap pack music), Nutcase (code
gfx music, 02/92-) and Xendi (gfx swap, 10/92-) - joined Balance between
june and october. Information that Bad Karma joined Atomic seems to be
incorrect. Sysop Roland ('SATISFICTION', ex Eremation) stayed independent
until he closed his board in 95, and graphician Visage (ex Eremation,
08/92-) also decided to stay independent. Both have now returned to the
scene in Mandel Bros in the year2000! This group also features Nutcase.
Finnish coder Lopez left the scene.

Deathstar was a finnish demo group, formed by Drucer and Hackman late 1988.
Their first release was Drucer's "Deadly Mix 2 Intro" [11/88]. By december,
Codewizard (code), Gloryboy (swap), Shit Talker (crack), Viz (swap),
Watchman (music) and Overlord (swap) had also joined. That month also saw
two demo releases; "Dry Vodka" by Codewizard, and "Blasting" by Drucer.
1989 - The group coarranged the "Lahtiparty" with Overload, X-Men and
Phalanx on the 7th to the 9th of april, and this was likely where Drucer's
demo "Bob Outburst" [04/89] was released. By june when "Deadly Jammin -equa"
[06/89] was released, Apol, Dr.DMA, Jason, LouLou Becane, Miguel, Scenic,
Smithson, Suicide and Sulky Fellow had all been added to the memberlist,
while Codewizard (code hardware, 12/88), Shit Talker (crack, 12/88) and Viz
(swap, 12/88) had disappeared. Drucer released an additional demo this
month, "Ham Magic" [06/89]. The original was quickly followed by "Deadly
Jammin II" [07/89] in july. Graphician Willow and musician Unknown Artist,
both of whom worked on this disk, was not on the memberlist from the
previous month, and are presumed new members since then. A few other demos
were released this year too, which we do not know the exact release date
for. They are Sulky Fellow's "Fatal Mistake" [89], Apol's "Debut" [89] (made
to announce Apol's joining, and featuring members Zei and Dark Light, which
were new to us), Apol's "My Home Town" [89] (obviously made after "Debut"),
Drucer's 2-disk "Megademo" [89] (featuring members Mucky and Asia, which
were new to us), Sulky Fellow's "Sulky Fellow 1" [89] intro, and finally
Dr.DMA's "Move Your Mouse" [89] which announced the group's death. It is
also beliueved that Dr.DMA and Drucer's "The Vector Scroller" is a 1989
release.
The group's death, as announced in the demo "Move Your Mouse" [89] was
initiated by Watchman (music, 12/88-) being kicked out. This was in turn
followed by core members Doctor DMA, Drucer and Smithson leaving to form
Animate, since they were discontent with the the general skill level in
Deathstar. It is possible that some other people from this group later
followed on to this new group, but this is unconfirmed speculation for now,
unfortunately. Some other members (Apol, Ripper, Sulky Fellow, Unknown
Artist, ...) instead opted to form another group, called Exodus. Thanks to
Reed for some information!

Boards; LAST RESORT (new 04/92).
Decade were a German-based group formed in september 1991, mainly dealing
in the modem scene, but also releasing the odd crack and demo. The two
organizers are Chris and Jade (collectively known as the Booze Brothers :),
who were in crews like The Company and Valhalla before founding Decade.
Chris joined with a board called 'LOST ISLAND', which is now closed.
After a while, some of the leading members felt the crew was being let
down by some of the other members, who they didn't want to kick since they
were old friends. The solution was to let the crew die in january 1992,
only to revive it three months later with ELITE only members.
Spider closed his board 'DREAM PARK' in late 1992 or early 93.
1992 - January saw the release of the "Decade is Dead" [01/92] intro, in
which they announced that coder and graphician Electron (03/91) left the
scene, Jim Beam and Jonny Walker left for another group, and Milkracer (code
train, 03/90) left for Zylon. Nico left for Accession around october.

Decnite is a Finland based demo group formed by ex members of World
Industries. It is most probable that they are exclusively Finnish.
1993 - Ikon was kicked, and joined Compact mid 93.

board is down.
Finnish member Mercus (93) was kicked.

Scoopex.
Finnish trader Klutz joined Alpha Flight.

code: Yammu, Slite (vector), gfx: Tucan, music: Dime.
Released for the Assembly 93 40k intro competition, but was unplaced.
review: Nice design rather than innovative routines are this intro's
main asset. The routines are nothing special, and neither are the
graphics. The sum of the two is greater than the parts, however, and
therefore this comes out looking not all that bad. Fun music by Dime also
helps, I guess. Nothing that will stick in my mind, though. [glenn]

Defjam was born in Sweden towards the end of 1987, by Gehenna, Archmage and
a third guy who quickly left the scene. They quickly became one of the
REALLY big cracker groups in the dawn of the Amiga scene, but then just sort
of fell apart, with no actual leaving occuring. Antiaction never really left
or found a new group; today he is working as a computer game programmer. He
was also the author of Defjam Packer 3.2 (and its forerunners Tetra-Pack,
made while he was in Tetragon) and one of the Amiga's most used apps of all
time, the archiver LhA.
In their time, Defjam also participated in a number of cooperations.
The earliest was probably with Computerbrains Cracking Service (CCS), but
there has also been coops with Red Sector (late 88) Angels.
1990 - Around the middle of the year, the German division left to become a
group in their own right, Supreme. It seems Defjam got a new German division
though, since there are German members registered long after that.
Swedish Crayone joined Strange.
Finnish coder Smircher joined Vectra.
Swedish coder T.Phraud/T.Phroud? joined Shining 8.
Swedish sysop Mogwai ('STREETS OF FIRE') joined Agile.

He is co-author of the PlaySID system, and he's been living in Boston,
USA since 04/95.

that spawned Essence.

Delirium was a true quality cracker group, with famous crackers like Phil
Douglas in the team. Aspect Incorporated is a subgroup. They had some crack
intros made for them by Wayne Mendoza/Masque... I have recently (well, OK,
early 97) seen members of Delirium, so is this the old group back or is it
a new group?

review: Nothing here that will set the world on fire, but at least the
'we all love CRM' part was fun. They do the humor thing to a total over-
kill this time around, though. The AmiNet description text said 'Delon
party winner AGA demo'. What party? [glenn]

Atmosfear (1995, autumn, AGA File).
production: Don Johnson, ...
review: I quite like this...these guys have a sense of humor! The effects
aren't outstanding but I guess they were never meant to be. I'd describe
this as being in the tradition of Lego's "The Real 40k" intro. First they
claim to have the first real 4x4 rotzoomer...and I guess they do, if you
mean 4x4 as in 4 wheel drive... Then they're back with the world's first
8x8 rotzoomer...which is a rotzoomer within an 8x8 pixel block! See what
I mean? It's a lot like when Lego claimed to be able to display 40 planes
on any Amiga :) A plus for the music, which is catchy. [glenn]

Depth was formed in late 1993 by Curt Cool as a Danish demo group, and their
first production was "Cool Tunes #1" [03/94]. During the year |they released
some other small productions, as well as many issues of their pack "Under
the Surface" (01-99).
1996 - At The Party 6, they gave the scene what they called a "christmas
present", and revived the official "Eurochart", with Cytron as the third
main editor of the prestigious chart through history. This is probably what
most people think of when you say 'Depth'. Bakerman's board was closed for a
while, then reopened late 96.

review: First of all, let me just mention that this is the first issue of
the 'new' EuroChart I saw. Right from the start, I loved the new look and
concept! The screenshots, the information, the graphical statistics...
This is the way to do things! However, while the concept is great, the
execution leaves a few things to be desired...some of the information is
missing crucial bits here and there! Perhaps I need to send Cytron a copy
of Scenery to avoid mistakes in the future ;) Having said that, I guess I
put a lot more weight on these things than the average scener would...
The panel graphics are a little unusual, not to mention that they're very
very good! Big, clear gadgets leave you in no confusion as to where to
click. The intro picture by Zack, and the numerous clip arts leave a
little to be desired, 'tho...
As far as the editorial content of the EuroChart goes, well... it was
never intended to be a mag! The best part is also the most important one;
the charts! The code follows the new norm, in that it is multitasking...
which is a feature I absolutely love. All mags should multitask! It sure
makes reviewing them a lot more comfortable for me :) There really is no
good reason not to download the EuroChart... It doesn't really matter if
you don't like the cliparts, or you think the interviews in the magpart
really should be somewhere else... It's the charts that matter, and the
EuroCharts are the original ones...the real McCoy. Get this because Depth
put a lot of work down in it, and do a good job. [glenn]

code: Quedax, gfx: Raven/Nuance, music: Okeanos/Digital, Curt Cool and

review: Nice graphics by Raven introduce us to this edition of EC. The
title picture is of a crouching naked woman, but the compositions doesn't
look all right...Anyway, the rest of the design is clear and concise. As
mentioned in my review of the last issue, the code is very good. System
friendly (multitasks), and user friendly at the same time :) The other two
sections, apart from the charts, are also well laid out this time. The
gallery is mostly pictures of sceners drinking at parties ;) I did like
the old Crusaders design for this part better, with two pics a page,
but... The magpart also has good design, with backgrounds that doesn't
interfere with the text. Color use is nicely relaxed. [glenn]

Desire is a demogroup based in the Netherlands, formed by Coyote. After a
couple of years the group was merged with another, of which the leader was
Ramon B5. They also had a strong Finnish section for a while, responsible
for a fair amount of their productions. Ramon B5 was the original leader,
but when he left (93?) another dutchman, Ultimax took over leadership.
Twilight more or less left the scene in 1995, after securing a full time job
making music for Graftgold Software.
Ramon B5 (08/92), THD (12/91-03/93 and Sacha (12/91-03/93) from the Dutch
section formed the subgroup Facet's Pussy. They later recruited more
members from the mother group, like the germans Chaos! and Kernal. Most of
these members later returned to their original group. Another subgroup was
also later formed, called Love [see separate entry]. There were rumours
early93 that 'SNARF'S PUB' had left, but they were entirely false, as
reported in Freedom Crack #11. Thanks to Ego for some information!
1992 - T60 left to join the PC scene 09/92.
1994 - Right before The Party 94, dutch musician Fabian (03/92-) sold his
amiga and left the scene. His promised BIG musicdisk project was cancelled,
and was subsequently never released.
Cone joined Spirit.
Courage (old handle Seat) joined Wizzcat.
Steve, sysop 'MYSTICAL PLACES' joined Alpha Flight.
Norwegian Switchblade (10/92) joined Compact Inc.
Untold, Gorry, Clawboy (08/92) and Undertaker joined Tragedy.
Dutchmen Zorlac (gfx, 05/92-03/93) and Ultimax (code, 05-12/92) both joined
TRSI (Upstream #8). It is uncertain where this left Desire, since Ultimax
took over leadership after Ramon B5 left... The two worked on at least
"Future Inferno" [05/92], "Menace" [08/92], "Thaj Mahal" [12/92],
"Morpheus" [01/93] and "Vluggertje" [03/93].
Finnish coder Venture joined Deadline. He made "Morpheus" [01/93] and the
"ChipChop" series [93] for DSR. His latest registered production is from
11/93, so he probably left late 93.
German musician Pseudolukian (04/92-06/93) got kicked. He made music for
"Channel X" [04/92], "Thaj Mahal" [12/92] and "Vluggertje" [03/93].
Germans Chaos! (gfx ascii) and Kernal (code, both ex Analog, new mid93-
05/94) left to join the Desire subgroup Facet's Pussy.
They both later returned to Desire.
German Skyfox (ex Dual Crew, new RAW5) joined joined Endless Piracy.
However, Eurochart #22 claimed he left the scene.
Redferne (ex Awe) joined Devils. Also Remix later ended up in Devils.
Englishmen Bassline (Music, ex Anthrox) and Schizo left the scene.
Dutchmen Cloud 9 (swap) and Solid (gfx, both ex Vicious) joined
Cryptoburners.
Jack (ex LSD) joined Compact Inc.
Ziggy Stardust (ex Cyberactive), Kyle (ex Starlight) and Dioxion joined
Vanish, and Ziggy changed his handle to Cujo in the process.
Coyote joined Jetset.
Camelot joined Alpha Flight.
German swapper Stearo (ex Delight) joined Paradise.
Germans Rebel MC (swap, ex The Special Brothers) and Dark (ex Cyberactive)
joined Noxious, so the German section is disbanded late 92. The following
people are therefore obviously no more members of the German section:
Vane, Bootbuster (ex Subzero, 10/92), TNM (ex Subzero), Vain (ex Subzero),
Kreator (ex Byte Syndicate), Touchstone (code, later Essence), Dascon
(later Essence), Trasher, Fancy and Powerswap (later Essence).
Iceberg, sysop 'THE HOOD' (ex Cyberactive) joined Spaceballs late 92.
Link joined Gothic.

Tantalus (Andy Eddingham, mainorg, 91-92), Terminator (code), Thallium
(Shaun, gfx), Venom (Stuart, trade).
NOR> Adolf (ex Atomic), Jens Madsen (sysop 'DREAM OF PERFECTION', 01/94).
???> Cobra, Hampster (old handle Pissed Artist, 09/92), Hugo (ex Poppa [no
entry]), Martin (code, new 09/92), Narc, Nitro.
Boards; CLIFFHANGER (nor, 01/94), NINE LIVES (eng), THE PEACH.
Destiny was a demogroup based in England. They will probably mostly be
remembered for their diskmag with the original name "Satanic Rites". Members
of the staff of this mag were later behind the Talent mag "42".
1991 - The group attended Digital's party "The Main Event" in october,
where they recruited a new graphician, Metal. This was his first group.
About 4-6 weeks after the party, probably around december, the group's main
organizer Kam (also gfx) left the scene. Tantalus became the new main
organizer, and under his leadership the group entered into its most
productive period ever.
1992 - Tango and Venom joined. Elminster was kicked in september.
1993 - Destinator joined Eclipse mid 93. Norwegian coder and swapper
Scourger joined Talent mid 93. English coder Oedipus joined shortly after
the Destiny Communion Party in august. He later left the group to form
Nebula.
Natas was kicked.
Vector left the scene.
TCB (ex Pussy) joined Energy.
Norwegian Lord Stradh joined Talent.
Norwegian swapper Messiah joined Equinox.
Phreak, FX and Lord Flight left to form Jesters.
Norwegian sysop Omaha Thunder ('DIGITAL PLEASURE') joined Compact Inc.
German editor RokDaZone (ex Amaze) joined Infect. RokDaZone worked on the
Destiny diskmag 'Satanic Rites'.
Jelace and Saracen (ex Damage Inc) joined Banana Dezign.
Satanic Rites #1 (pre 1992, .06, ECS Diskmag).
Satanic Rites #2 (1992, ECS Diskmag).
info: Originally supposed to have been released at the Quartz Summer
Conference 1992, but it was not finished in time, since coder Kiwi could
not get it bugfree. It was released a couple of weeks after the party.
Satanic Rites #3 (ECS Diskmag).
Satanic Rites #4 (1993, 29.05, ECS Diskmag).
info: This was unfortunately the last issue ever released.
Destruction (DST)
-----------------
???> Magius (fin? gfx, 08/96).
Destruction changed the name of the group to Tribute, and multi-function-
man Pacman changed his handle to Speedo. Therefore, Destruction is in
effect dead. I really wish I knew when this happened, 96 or 97?
I do not know if Magius is also a member of the new crew.
Deep (1996, 18.08, ECS File).
code/music: Pacman, gfx: Pacman, Magius (logo).
Released for the Assembly 96 demo competition.
review: Not outstanding in any way, but adequate. Only two real effects,
and none of them are showstoppers. Perhaps they should have had a look at
the winner demo from The Gathering 95 before deciding on the title...
The only ECS demo released at Assembly 96. [glenn]

Devils was a French-based demo group, which also had a strong norwegian
section.
1993 - Shade's demo pack "Party Cocktail #1" [04/93] was released at The
Gathering in april.
Mr.Pixel left.
Youngblood was kicked.
German coder Zulu (ex Addonic) joined Cryptoburners.
Ceel (old handle Rick, ex Flash Productions) joined Cryptoburners.
Norwegians Optic, Redferne (music, ex Desire), Ace (swapm 04/93), Peavey (ex
Offence) and Shade (org swap pack, ex Fanatic, new ca 06/92-04/93) left to
form Shamrock.
Microchip (ex Grace) joined Shining 8.
Frenchmen Hades, Bluesilence (ex Zenith), Poison and Mr.Keel all joined
Nova.
Casimodo left.
French musician Hydra joined Sceptic.
French coder TKB joined Dreamdealers.
Lost most of their members due to the Beach Party failure! There's now only
four FRA members left. The best members melted with Drifters and formed a
new group called Chainsaw Design. Deicide (ex LSD) joined TRSI.
Labyrinth (Demo).
No Reality (ECS Trackmo).
code: TKB, gfx: Swoly, music: Sirrao.
review: Due to incompatibility reasons, I haven't really been able to see
all of this demo. What I've seen though, confirms nicely to the old idea
that textscreen-effect-textscreen is a nice design that works fine :(
There are, however, some nice effects here, and I'd especially like to
mention the 'lightsourced fractal landscapes'. Not only do they look
great, but they render like lightning on the 030! ;) Unfortunately, when
the demo decides it's time to load the second part it crashes after
completing the loading. Nothing I've tried remedies this, not even
kicking the machine down to 1.3. So for now, this is what you get :)
All credit information was hacked out of the disk itself, since that
part's obviously in the second portion of the demo. I'd be very very
grateful for results... [glenn]

2nd in the Iris New Year Conference.
Plan B BBS Intro (1993?, ECS File).
code: Jinx, gfx: Jinx, Keops (font), music: Redferne.
review: This small BBS intro shows Devils are not afraid to go new ways
in design; it employs a highres display that's original, and made the
production look 'fresh' when it first appeared. Together with the fast,
catchy techno music it created a good atmosphere. I say did, because
unfortunately it hasn't aged all that well. When you look at it
objectively, you clearly see that there's nothing really advanced about
the intro, no 'cutting edge' code. It looks OK, sounds catchy, but is
ultimately not very interesting. It does its job and little else. [glenn]

Party Cocktail packmenu (1993, early, ECS Intro).
code: Jinx, gfx: gfx: n/a, music: Remix, packer: Shade.
review: A perfectly serviceable packemenu, with the best part being a
large, twisting DEVILS logo down the entire left hand part of the screen.
The rest is taken up by the selector, textplotter and small scrolltext.
The intro was used for issue #1, released at The Gathering in april, and
so we conclude it was first made early this year. It worked perfectly well
on my configuration with caches off and original chipset, but since there
was no time to test with caches enabled, I can not make any guarantees for
its behaviour on such a configuration. [glenn]

a though in mind. Dexion was Liteace's first group.
1990 - In december the group arranged the Dexion X-Mas Conference in
Odense, gathering some 600 sceners in what was until then one of the biggest
scene parties ever.
Norwegian graphician Morten joined Spaceballs.
Danish swapper Trix (12/90) joined Rebels old.
Danes Starman and Future Freak (Kim Tolstrup Christensen, music) were
kicked due to inactivity. Future Freak made LOTS of great tunes, and
before the Amiga he was active on the C64 as Future Freak/TFA!
Norwegians T-Bone (ex Resolution 101) and Rob (ex Absence) joined
The Silents.

dFX (-1996)
-----------
dFX was a swedish demo group comprised of Elixir (music), Dep (code) and
Neuro (gfx). The group ceased to exist as all three members joined Wrath
Designs in 1996.
#? (1995, 28.12, 40k Intro).
code: Dep, gfx: none, music: Elixir (The Player 6.1A format).
28th in The Party 5 40k intro competition.
review: Short and very blue. That's the best way to describe "#?", a
40k intro without graphics at all, and just a single phong object (with
and without animated background) that still manages to be 40k in size!
They've used Ludde's c2p routine, and the object is in that annoying
every-other-pixel mask. While the first part has just the object (an
undetailed torus) and a moving background, the second part has no
background but 'afterburning' on the object. The file was called
dFX-Wildcard.exe, a name that's a little more easy to put on the file
than the actual name of the intro :) [glenn]

Diabolics
---------
FRA> Corsair (code, 05/89), Gandalf (gfx, 05/89), Mr.Video (gfx swap,
05/89), Sharlaan (code, 05/89), Trunk (swap, 05/89).
Diabolics was a french demo group, formed by Mr.Video.
Cool Raster Intro (1989, .05, ECS Intro).
code: Corsair, gfx: Mr.Video (chars), music: "Happy" by ????/The Jungle
Command (SoundTracker format).
review: Well, this is certainly a colorful intro! It has rasters all over
the shop, bouncing bars and background colors - almost a little too much!
obviously someone learned their copper lists early =) But when you look at
the credits list, everything falls into place... Corsair is of course the
french coder who later made the legendary "Copper Master" for Angels, the
copper demo to end all copper demos... In addition to this the intro
contains only a large scroller in the middle of the screen with an ok font
(for 1989) and nada else. Not much of a noteworthy release. Even with
KillAGA, the intro suffers from a badly coded music routine that bugs on
my machine.
The intro was found on Horizon's "Rack-Pack #16" pack, released at the
very beginning of june 1989. From this we deduct that the intro itself was
released some time during may. No release date appears inside the intro.

???> Bobcat (gfx), Jayhawk, Metal (code), Mr.Mad, Voyager (music).
Dictators were formed by ex-members of Danish group Trilogy and some
Swedish guys. They died toward the end of 1991...though the release date
of "Woozy" and other information make this information seem highly
unreliable!
1992 - Finns Electro, Phraser, Breeze (music, old handle Megaman, 01/92)
and Simpson (swap) all left to join Equinox 08/92.
Exeron joined 2000 AD.

Digital was formed after Magnetic Fields was reorganized, and all the best
German and English members formed this new group around the middle of 1991.
These days the 10 remaining members are, unfortunately, mostly inactive.
They will leave beind a handful of good productions, most notably perhaps
the trackmo "Lethal Exit" [12/92], the 40k intro "A Maze In" (07/93) and the
musicdisk "Extemporized" [10/93] - all of which were made by their previous
french members.
1992 - Spook, coder of the "Punisher" (04/92) trackmo, left the UK to work
in Silicon Valley, USA. German musician S-Sex joins from Action.
1993 - Evil E was kicked late 93.
1995 - English musician Sync joined TRSI early.
Finnish sysop Allah joined Parallax, where he's running 'THE CHAMELEON'...
was the board also in DTL?
Finnish swappers Poke (07/94) and Tint (94) joined Facet's Pussy/Desire.
German coder Chip-Ram (07/94) left to rejoin his old group, Wizzcat late94.
Sniper left to join The Special Brothers.
French musician and swapper Reverse (12/92-10/93) joined Melon Dezign.
The entire French section joined Complex sometime between 10 and 12/93.
This concerns musician Clawz (ex The Special Brothers, 09/92-10/93), coder
Gengis (ex Liquid, 12/92-10/93) and graphicians Eloy and Titan (ex
Anarchy, 07/93), though he MAY have joined Scoopex instead.
Frenchman Vodka (ex TSB) was kicked out, so he rejoined The Special
Brothers.
The entire Finnish section, John Peel (trade, ex Black Robes), Kevin (gfx
sysop, ex Magnetic Fields, 09/92), Grim (ex Magnetic Fields), Duncan (ex
Magnetic Fields) and Hifi (sysop 'LAST GENERATION', ex Grace) joined
Damones. Later, new Finnish members would join.
French graphician SPH was kicked early 93. The only production I can find
that he worked on was Gengis' trackmo "Lethal Exit" [12/92].
French swapper and packer Wizz (ex The Silents) was kicked 02/93.
Redman will take over his packseries 'POST-IT!'.
Rotox left for Anthrox.
German swapper Yoyo joined Fifth Generation 08/92.
English coder Paradroid (ex Razor 1911 old, 04/92) left to make games for
Core Design. He later joined Anarchy.
Dexter (music, ex Plague, new 04/92), Ford Prefect (sysop), Shrimp (code,
04/92) and Sync (music, 04/92) were all kicked. Sync rejoined, Shrimp
later joined Ghost.
Lots of Germans were kicked in early 92; Andy & Ray, Seco, First Revolution
and the graphics-team Groo and Rufferto (all 04/92). Groo and Rufferto
therefore joined Delicious Design.
German Flaxx joined Bloodsuckers.

review: A good little intro from future coder celebrity Gengis, with some
nice routines. Perhaps the most interesting one being the 'maze' part,
which resembles an early Doom clone - complete with user interactivity!
The maze is lightning fast on my machine, by the way. Also, there's a
nice zoom rotator and an opening vector rendition of a DTL logo. Cool.

and Clawz' last production for Digital before leaving for Complex.
Shakka Lakka (1994, .07, ECS Trackmo).
code: Dillenger, gfx: Gfx-Twins, music: G.T.O.
review: A quite acceptable trackmo from the German division. The graphics
are rather good throughout, though never excellent. The music is
functionable, but nothing more, and the coding rather nice. As you can
see, this demo never rises to greatness, but is still a good production.
Can't find any party results that list this, and the production does
not mention any party either. There's a few fullscreen pictures and lots
of incidental graphics, if that's your thing. Nice. No loading problems.

Digital was reborn in 1996, and was finally closed by Darkus in 1998.
Darkus (doublememb Nuance, old handle Nemes!s) left for Network and Rebels,
and accused Iceball (ex Ibanez) for most of the trouble DTL had suffered,
because of his lying about new members and productions.
1997 - Ibenz joined from Passion and Skidrow. Alive contributed the title
screen to Nuance's "X-Files #19" [10/97]. Tommy (music), Forge (gfx, old

This mainly Swedish group was born as early as 1987, and their name is a
shortform of the two words "Ditigal Technology". They earned their dues
creating some truly excellent utility compilations in the old days. One of
their members were also behind the cruncher Bytekiller 2.0. Sauron is

L.A.M.E. (1995, 30.08, 64k Intro).
code/gfx: Sachy, music: "Chipmunks" by Jester/Sanity (4ch MOD format).
review: For anyone who's seen a lot of demos, "L.A.M.E." is gonna bring a
smile to your face. Never have so many good demos been made fun of in
such a respectful, tongue-in-cheek way :) From the opening DINX PROJECT
logo (which looks a lot like the PYGMY PROJECTS logo from "Extension"
[08/93]) - to the end graphics before the cartoon (which looks a lot like
something out of Mack's slideshow "Prism" [92] for Melon) - this is a fun
ride down demoscene memory lane. The chiptune by Jester has almost
certainly been ripped from somewhere, but I can't quite remember where...

Cooperation with Scoopex.
review: An extremely simple intro, unfortunately showing its age. This is
just here to present the BBS 'THE GAMBLE HALL', and does little else. The
only 'effect' on offer, not counting logo, scroller and sideways
starfield, are some transparent DA bobs spinning. Not one for the
collection. Even though this intro is supposedly in cooperation with
Scoopex, no members from that group took part in its creation... if you're
not counting the scrolltext =) The date is based on the text 'wishes for
1993...' in the scrolltext. [glenn]

D-Mob was formed by The Cad and Turbobrain from The Sunriders Swedish
division. They felt they were the only ones doing anything in Sunriders, and
they didn't want to do the job for someone else, so they formed their own
group. Turbobrain is also the author of the wellknown copy program D-Copy.
1991 - Dreamer joined Vogue, while Raider and Aztec got kicked in the
middle of the year.
1992 - Daxer left to join Eclipse ca 06/92.
The Finnish division is dead; most of the members joined Intense.
Swedes Alis (sysop 'ANOTHER WORLD'), Frosty (both ex Jump) and Uzi-U all
left for Crystal.
Music-Disk 1 (ECS Trackloaded musicdisk).
code/music: Turbobrain, gfx: Zak.
review: This is about as basic as they come. What you get is a scroller
at the top, a picture of the Batman logo and three (four is you count the
'bonus' track) LARGE tunes, probably because they were not so much
composed as sampled. Avoid this and get Music-Disk 3 instead, by much the
same team...only miles better! By the way, this was D-Mob's very first
production as a group.
The scroller is distorted and unreadable on my machine. [glenn]

Dominators on the amiga was merely a division of the wellknown danish group

felt there were too many members in Doom. They formed the group Advance
together with one other member. Finnish Mr.Big was kicked, and joined

It is highly uncertain what the OLD Dragons have in common with the new.
1990 - French musician Moby (ex Apology) joined Alcatraz. All remaining
members (Corsair, Megablast, Mr. Video, Conqueror & Zike!) except Foxy
joined Angels late 1990. As a consequence, Dragons died. Foxy joined

Dreamdealers is a purely French demo group. In the beginning they were a
small, but quite high quality group. Then Moby and Ra joined, and people
started taking a little more notice. When Moby and Ra left for Sanity they
certainly lost their best assets.
The sysop of 'JUJU' is not a Dreamdealers memb, but Gelfling is a cosys
on the board.
1990 - Foxy joined from Dragons after that group died.
1992 - French coder Gryzor left for Hemoroids in august.
1993 - The demo "Arkham Asylum" was released in january, in cooperation
with Alliance Design, mostly to get some old AD-related graphics from Hof

Released in cooperation with Alliance Design [details].
Interpol Crack Intro (1993, ECS Intro).
code: Redlight, gfx: Ra, music: Chrylian (ProMizer 1.8 format).
review: A cracktro whose most important asset is a great Interpol logo by
Ra, covering most of the screen. Some text is nicely splashed onto the
screen at the bottom, and the music is...not good. There is no actual
release date, but it was probably made in 1993 - several things indicate
this. [glenn]

Ulitro (Flying Saucer BBS) (1993, ECS Intro).

Raging Fire (1993, 28.12, AGA File).
code: Sync, gfx: Antony, Ra, music: Moby.
15th in The Party 3 demo competition.
review: This starts of on a TRULY cool note with a heavy metal module by
Moby (ahh sweet headbangin'...), before we're treated to a great picture
of a bull's head by Ra. Then, the bull's head is zoomrotated fullscreen
while the drums of the tune keep-a-bangin'. ...and that would appear to
be it. Having experience this power trip (mostly brought on by the
music), one can't help but think they'd have ended up a lot higher on the
score board if they'd added another effect or two. Amazing potential!

Imagine (1994, 03.09, AGA File).

2nd in the 3S Party demo competition.
review: Certainly nice this short demo from the Frenchies in DRD.
The graphics remain excellent throughout, and the coding's not bad
either. As for the music...I thought it was a fucking Moby tune until I
saw the credits! If that's not a stamp of approval, I don't know what is.
Very very competent in every department, then.
Please note that on the 030-50 it ran a little TOO FAST. I didn't get
half a chance to read any of the text early on, because it just flashed
onto the screen, and then it proceeded. On the plain A1200 everything was
fine, though. [glenn]

Drifters was a french demo group, formed by Golden Hell and Mr. Bluesky. The
group produced more than 30 demos/intros in their time. Thanks to Outlandos
D.A for a little information!
1991 - Postacard is now Rave/Delight late in the year.
1995 - Drifters originally died in 1995 when the two founders left the
scene, but Clary tried to keep the group together a small while more. Golden
Hell was asked to rejoin, and did a few pieces of graphics for them (and
Crux) but it never really came alive.

3rd in the Symposium 96 demo competition.
review: High points for originality, but that doesn't help this out of
the mud, I'm afraid. It's pretty much an animation player :) The demo's
high point is actually the first 10 seconds, when a voice announces
"Hello and welcome to the Boris disco party", immediately followed by
Calvin and Hobbes getting down to a disco groove. Cool, you think - so
how about the demo? There is none. It's just more cartoon figures, set to
the sound of that soon-becomes-mighty-irritating disco tune. Avoid.
I find no indication that this needs AGA. It is HD only due to the size,
but there is no reason why it can't be run from disk if it's packed first.

D-Tect was a demo group based in Germany, probably born around early 1988.
1990 - November was a busy month, with first the release of "Depeche Code"
[11/90] followed closely by the second issue of "Hack-Mag" [11/90]. The mag
announced that the group needed more coders, since only Agent and McDeal
were coding. It also announced two new members, Mr.Megaforce in Canada
(about to open a board) and their first modemtrader, Rockford in Germany.
1992 - German writer Yankee joined from Addonic around january, to work on
Hack Mag. December saw the release of the group's last ever production, the
intro "D-Cadence" [12/92] at The Party. It seems reasonable to say the group
died early 1993.
Leo left the scene.
Wire 501 was kicked.
One of D-Tect's greates assets in earlier times and the ex-editor of 'Hack
Mag', McDeal (11/90-) left to join German supergroup Sanity. However, he
only participated in one demo for Sanity ("Arte") before leaving the
scene.
German sysop Rockford aka RCF ('TRADERS HEAVEN', 02-09/91) joined Elevation.
Norwegian sysop Phonebilly ('ELEGANT MACHINERY') joined Dual Crew (RAW1).
Lord Unix was kicked (09/91).
News in I.C.E that Spider joined Coma is untrue (09/91).

review: McDeal mentioned in a demo newsgroup that this demo was the

TIP/TNM's, who was first.
Hack-Mag issue #2 (1990, 22.11, ECS Multifile Diskmag).
INT - code: McDeal, gfx: Spider, music: Twisted.
MAG - code: Agent, gfx: Spider, music: TAR, editors: many.
review: The second issue of HM opens with a little 'intro' - a title
picture of a monitor smashing through glass set to music. The mag itself
is very well presented, perhaps the best design on the scene at the time
it was released! You have to remember that HM was competing against Crack
Journal at the time, so they easily had the best code. Like in most old
mags, too many pages are taken up by unnecessary drivel like humor
articles and small comic strip pages, but overall the mag represents an
overall informative read. But party reports without results...booh! =)
Some critical newsediting would also have been in its place; newsitems
like that 4-Mat left Anarchy for TRSI, or that Tarkus Team is dead were
obviously wrong. The mag announces the new members Mr.Megaforce (canada,
soon sysop) and Rockford (germany trade).
The first time I tried booting the mag (no caches/OCS), it showed the
intro just fine but gurued at the first page of the mag. I peeked around
the disk, and found the way to make it work; boot to your harddisk first.
Then cd to the disk in question, then cd to the directory 'articles'.
now type KillAGA (provided KillAGA is in your path ofcourse) to the main
hackmag executable. The commandline may look like this: 'KillAGA
df0:HACKMAG2'. Get it? This should make the mag work, though it still has
some problems with catching keyboard presses - mouse clicking works fine.

Traders Heaven (1991, .02, ECS Intro).

INT - code: Satan, McDeal (fix), gfx: Spider (pic, font), Vinvent/Vision 1
(bobs), music: Twisted.
MAG - code: Agent, McDeal, gfx: Spider, music: TAR.
review: The intro (coded by new member Satan) is much cooler than last
time. It opens with an ok pic by Spider, of one of the Gremlins clutching
a D-Tect logo, then goes into the intro itself. Not a terribly inspired
affair, but features a starfield, bobs, and the obligatory scroller at the
the bottom of the screen. On to the mag, we experienced exactly the same
compatibility problems as with the last issue...but this time the solution
we offered then does NOT work! Disaster! So sometimes even Amiga owners
need to retort to emulators... :)
Editorially and graphically not much has changed, the design is
identical to the last issue. Not many deep articles this time either, but
it's a good hardcore scene mag. Nothing much more to say really, this is
an average issue. Support for the mag was picking up, this issue has much
more outside contributions than before. [glenn]

review: After a small bit of loading with a nice ascii screen to look at,
the intro starts. And it looks really good, actually! =) It's actually
among the simplest intros ever, just a pic, music and a scroller, but the
picture at least shows some effort on Spider's part!
Well, onto the mag: The first thing that strikes us is the title logo
picture, again by Spider - nice. [glenn]

review: This mag from 91 works perfectly fine on my 50mhz 030-machine...
Astonishing! Well, installing to harddisk wasn't much of a problem
either, so I booted the thing. The intro is great! Cool cyber-OS design,
metal-skeleton Terminator picture by Spider and thumping cyber-techno
soundtrack by Twisted! It certainly sets the mood for some nice
reading... The mag itself is well-laid out, and there is certainly enough
to read. There's only one module, again by Twisted, but it's very cool.
It's got a melody that I simply looooove... This old mag brings back some
of the 'magic' from lost times. For a nostalgic read, recommended!

Dual Crew was originally a c64 cracking group, and the amiga section was
formed by Stookie in 1988. Color blind graphician Red Devil ran the pack
series "Ultimate Sin" for a while, which was previously run by other DC
members.
1990 - Swedes Omega (music), Tip (music), Mace (code) and Color (gfx) all
joined around july, but the three last ones didn't stay too long and moved
on to join Phenomena in december. Four others swedes also joined in the same
time period; JBM, Trigon, Joker and Hater from Tetragon. Swedish Gizmo
joined The Silents, while swedish Leper Messiah joined D-Mob - both late in

Cooper, Skywalker, Razor and G.T.O. (old handle Magic Duke) left the scene
to make a game. However, this is untrue at least in G.T.O's case; he
didn't leave the scene. RAW5 confirms he joined Digital!

(loader). Released at The Gathering 92.
Review: This musicdisk is certainly not bad, but could have been better.
The first thing I'd like to put my finger on is the concept: Zaz mentions
in the scroller that to avoid a common pitfall, that all the music on a
musicdisk sounds the same, he has used 8 different composers for this one.
What he must have forgotten was to check the quality of the modules, not
just their diversity. I would have preferred to have 5 or 6 of the best
modules on one disk, and have scrapped the rest. Best tunes: Freedom! and
Artifical Musique. Red Devil's silver surfer logo is great, but why is
there no credit for the raytraced Sounds of Science logo? Not bad.
Another thing Zaz forgot was obviously timing. On my 030, this one jerks

Dual Crew Shining (DCS) was born when the two groups Dual Crew and Shining
merged in april of 1993. The fact was announced at The Gathering, held later
that month, through some small intros.
Red Devil is busy raytracing graphics for games from Softimage these days,
though he hasn't left the scene!
1993 - After being born in april, the group released their first signs of
life late in the month, at The Gathering, with the two intros "Anvend
Håndkle" and "April Fool". Mutant also participated in the graphics
competition, where his picture "Two Girls" finished 8th. Norwegians Corny
and Codeman (collectively known as CoCo Arts) and swedish musician Soul (old
handle Dexter) all left for Rednex in december.
1994 - Finnish trader Zephyr (Robert Karlsson), one of the original
members who came in with Shining, finally decided to end his scene life. He
sold all his computers to Haka and Truxton, and bought a motorbike instead.
Today he works as atelecom business consultant and systems developer. German
coders Zulu & Grey (ex Cryptoburners) left to join the new, reborn Rebels in
1994. German musician Chromag (12/93-) left to join Lego in may. He made his
first musicdisk, "Chromagic" [93], for DCS. Swedish musician Azazel left to
join The Black Lotus (TBL) between 10 and 12/94, where he sometime later
would become one of the most famous musicians on the amigascene, largely
thanks to his work on TBL demos like "Tint" [04/96].
1996 - Swedish coder Zero joined Balance late 96.
Phosphyre left the scene.
Smegma and Brainpower was kicked.
Coder Cocoon joined Scoopex.
German coder Cockroach (ex Analog) was kicked.
He joined new german group Artwork with Voyage (sys) and jMS (gfx) 11/94.
Cyclone and Stranger (swap) got kicked.
Cero left the scene.
Storm (ex Jetset new) joined Essence.
German Plasma (ex Analog) was kicked out, and joined The Silents.
Boba Fett (fin), Double Density, Killroy and Sly (all from Shining) were
kicked out.
German coder Raw Style joined from Paradise, but only for a brief period
before moving on to Alcatraz.
Cockroach was kicked.
English musician Dreamfish (Ian Ford, ex Hydlide/Divine, doublememb mono211
[music]) left the amiga scene to concentrate on the music group mono211
(where he is now known as DJ Hoffman). Some sources claim he joined TRSI
early 95...
German swapper Agony joined Paradise.

review: You wanna hear dreams? Then put this floppy in your diskdrive,
link your Amiga to a powerful hi-fi tower, turn up the volume and just
lean back...
Starting with an introduction designed like the alien movies and movie-
like effects at the credits followed by a bumping invisible ball with a
scroller on its surface. Only bad that the colors of its background
doesn't fit in the dark overall design! But therefor the pannels are okay
again and there you can choose six modules composed by a musician who
stands right beside Jester, Nuke or Jogeir in the scene`s history:
Chromag. It's not only the nice idea for the menu grafix those make a warm
atmosphere. With pop, rock metal and romatic tunes the dcs-crew makes you
enjoying this production in a relaxed feeling. As standard you can reach
information about each of the modules via buttons. Also eight more or less
interesting scroller and a very light group logo (that doesn't fit again,
but was just an extra). My favorites are "Charming but drunk" of which the
musician composed a sequel and "Love and pain". This was Chromag's first
musicdisk. Released outside of any party. [zito]

AGA Demo (1993, 05.08, AGA File).
code: Tizzy, Zaz (additional, objects), gfx: Iridon (font), Snuskbuske
(raytrace), music: Belfagor. 12th in the ECC93 demo competition.
review: This demo scored 0% of the votes, and frankly I can see why.
It's a multitasking AGA demo that's unexciting, and doesn't show off the
new colors much. I can understand how the audience was unenthusiastic.
The demo starts with a raytraced EDCS picture-logo by Snuskbuske,
before the main part begins. This consists of a standard scroller at the
bottom (with a very nice font), a static bitmap 'planet' of some kind on
the background, over which they show some vector objects. I can see why
the audience didn't rise to applaud it.
The demo is also known as 'AGA Multitasing Demo', since that was the
name given to it by the offical results file :) This name appears nowhere
in the demo itself, though. The multitasking part is true, by the way,
which means that this is one of the few productions where you can flip
the screens with Amiga-M while viewing it. Works fine on standard A1200.

Though the group was never technically dead, we can certainly speak of a
first and second generation for Dual Crew Shining (DCS). Their second
generation was initiated in 1997, when the likes of Shape starting releasing
product for the amiga again, and first-class product too at that!
1997 - Shape released the 64k intro "Kala" [10/97] at Demolition III,
reaching fourth position in the competition. This was followed with another
intro at The Party 97, but "Blues" [12/97] was only rewarded with a sad 13th
position.
1998 - They reached second place at The Gathering 98 in april with
"Nebula" [04/98], only beaten by their fellow finns in Mellow Chips! Deetsay
and B coded the intro "A Little Intro At Assembly 98" [08/98] in two days
before the competition, and came 7th in the 64k intro competition.
1999 - In march, a large reorganizing took place, where several inactive
members were kicked and new ones were allowed to join; Relief was kicked,
and so there are no more DCS members in Denmark; finnish trader Zeff was
kicked; Finnish graphician Los joined, and polish swappers Blaze and Evan
were allowed to join.
Kala (1997, 05.10, 64k Intro).
code: Shape, gfx: B, music: Arto.
4th in the Demolition III 64k intro competition.
review: DCS goes for an unusual design with this intro, and certainly
manages a unique production too. Truly weird, it manages to present common
effects in a way that make them seem slightly special all the same. They
don't succeed perfectly with this intro, but they are certainly on their
way to creating something a little special here. Definite Plus points for
trying to do something original. And for coining the term
'postcalculating' =P [glenn]

Blues (1997, 28.12, AGA 40k Intro).

13th in The Party 97 40k intro competition.
review: A pleasant surprise; not only is DCS back but they've delivered a
very good intro too! "Blues" leave you with a good, solid impression -
much thanks to the music, which has a massive, catchy theme. It's an
impressive tune for this size, and it works well in the context.
The intro has a 'particle' routine, where 2x2 dots form the words 'DCS!'
and 'The End' to open and end it, and inbetween there's fast but blocky
texturemapped objects and scenes. A very good intro that doesn't need to
be advanced to be fun. [glenn]

Nebula (1998, 13.04, AGA HD 4MB Demo).
code: Shape, gfx: Adam (gfx, textures, 3d), Shape (3d), Illusion
(textures), music: Muffler (main, end), Tweek (intro, all The Player 6.1A
format). 2nd in The Gathering 98 demo competition.
review: "Nebula" opens amusingly in the style of an old sci-fi series,
complete with period music. Then the first real effect, a fast but barren
3d scene with palm trees on tiny spots of earth. From the first bars of
the music it is evident that this is a typical Muffler-tune. Then one of
the spots appears to have a flower on it, out of which tiny specs of light
appear. Then quickly onto a very nicely done bump-tunnel, with intense
light at the end, before also a trail of small light-spots appears to come
spinning out from the intense light at each end. And then something
appears to go wrong, for a long time I only get a totally white screen
while the music continues to play! After looking at the screen and hoping
something new would appear for a long time, I eventually rebooted and
tried running the demo from harddisk (my previous attempt was from RAM).
The results were even LESS great; it now defaulted to just a black screen
immediately after the intro sequence! Not one to give up, I rebooted again
(it doesn't appear to respond to the left mouse button), decrunched the
main file and tried the demo one last time. And now, amazingly, it worked!
We get a swirly thing behind the face of a man with sunglasses (you'd
have to see it :) before another 3d scene with light-spots and a spike
object. Next something I don't really know how to describe, but which is
utterly beautiful, over which credits are overlayed. Next we revisited a
bump-tunnel, only this time we travel through it, while it twists this way
and that. Soon it also contains a spike-object. Then we're onto a 3d scene
with another spike-object suspended in the air over water with lilys in it
- and the object is sometimes reflected in the water. And that's it! An
upscrolling end message with credits and the like appears (pausable with
the righ mb). Overall this demo gives a very professional impression, with
smooth, fast routines that were not just thrown together. The only real
graphics here are Adam's "Nebula" logo.
The demo works with just 4MB fast if you unpack the main executable
first, otherwise requires a little more. Developed on and for 030-50, but
should work on lesser configurations. [glenn]

A Little Intro At Assembly 1998 (1998, 08.08, AGA 64k Intro).
code: Deetsay, B, gfx: B, Optic, music: Fluffy (main), B (end).
7th in the Assembly 98 64k intro competition.
review: Hmmm! =) This one brough a smile to my face. If you're into
fluffy, cute little intros, then look no further. The intro opens with a
zoom down into a nice, semi-graffiti-style DCS logo, before a main screen
appears where a scroller resides at the top of the screen. The rest is
occupied by a weird character in the bottom right corner, and a
textplotter occupying the remainder of the screen. Just two short
screenfuls of text are given, before the intro ends with a reverse of the
first zoom, this time with the graphic being a cute little dog... =)
Smile...
The demo should work on any AGA amiga, including unexpanded machines.
Though entered in the 64k intro competition, it's way smaller, about 35k.
It was coded in two days before the party =) [glenn]
