Camelot was born early 1991 by Sphinx, Glasnost and The Guardian from Light,
and Rex from Laser. They originally had one swedish member (The Guardian aka
TGD), but after a small time were 100% danish, and remained that way as far
as I know... Apparently TGD (crack) went to Spain for 1.5 years and remained
a sleeping or inactive member.
  1993 - Danish Wave joined from Vision in may. Graphician Black Samurai
joined from Wrath Designs at the TCC 93 party at the end of may.

  review: SH is a really nice mag, with an unusual design. It looks a little
  like a simplified Amiga Workbench 1.3, and works remarkably well, once you
  figure it out! There is no music while in this, the text choice menu, the
  music you select (also on this menu) starts once you start reading an
  article. The article reading part is also good, with a horizontal
  scrolling textreader with smooth scrolling and two different font sizes.
    The intro preceding the mag is also nicely different, though they could
  perhaps have dropped the 'logo' at the top of the screen. All music in the
  mag is exclusive. Another nice function of this mag is the 'extras'
  section, which this time features an old intro (by Cheyens), plus the
  winners of the graphics and music competitions from the recent 4x4 party!
  The editorial content of the mag is demo oriented, with very little
  material focusing on the illegal part of the scene. There are the usual
  news, reviews and interviews, though the mag also tries to be different
  with some original ideas, like the "Vision" part. Overall, this is a
  pretty good mag, spanning two disksides, with quite a bit of material to
  read. Go gettit! :) [glenn]

        Productions, "Aqualite" by Fanta/Oxyron/Bass, "Media & Pain" by
        Cubehead/ex Resource, editor: Biz Kid.
  review: Camelot have gone nicely overboard with their 20th issue (released
  on the date of their third anniversary), doing 3 full disksides! Not one -
  oh no - but two intros open the mag, which also has a good editorial
  content. This time they present interviews with some pretty interesting
  persons frm the scene; people like TTS/Oxyron, Chris Huelsbeck and JCH/
  Vibrants should be familiar to most of you I guess ;) Coupled with their
  usual high editorial standard this is another great issue of SH. What more
  is there to say? Nada. [glenn]

Censor is a Swedish demo and cracking group, born in september 1989 when
Euzkera, Bob, Taito, Sensei, Psycho, Contring, Swallow, Guran, Shark, CRT
and Dragon all left Triad to form this new group. Soon after, also Squelch,
Codex, Slaygon and Darklord also joined from Triad. The group was also
active on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) scene. The handle
PC Ltd., sometimes used on Censor productions, mean Psycho and CRT. Redcuz
was a fake member, created by Dr.Cool and Euzkera; all cracking under this
name was actually done by Psycho. Thanks to NiM for information and
corrections!
  1989 - After their successful forming, Golem left for a career in
Byterapers on the Amiga late in the year. Also Squelch and Darklord (both ex
Triad) left, to join Sector 90 on the amiga. In december, they received a
new American board, THE GAME ZONE (in cooperation with NEC) and two new
members, Derek B/Success and Unifier (no group). Derek B's stay was short,
and he was out by january. No less than four issues of their young magazine
Fatal News was released in the last two months of the year. In addition to
all this, they also managed to launch a shortlived war with Light (more
specifically Goblin) over some problems Censor had supposedly created at a
party. It was over by january 90. Geggin/Mocean joined in december.
  1990 - CRT announced around may that he was stopping his swapping
activities. Swedish coder Unifier (ex Weird Science, new 11/89), responsible
for at least the Contact Dealer V2 tool for Censor, was kicked around july,
and joined Flash Inc. "Fatal News #7" [09/90] announced two new members,
Adolf (formerly known as Toad/Motion) and swedish musician Danko. Their
long-standing 'war' with Fairlight was called off, and the two groups
collaborated on a peace demo called "Eye Damage" [10/90] in october.
  1991 - January saw dutchmen Skater, Mirage and Zarhan Fastfive joining the
group from Culture, after that group died. They brought with them the mag
"Shock". Swedes Danko and DAW left the group, but Danko later returned. DAW
returned to his old group Triad. After the Horizon party at easter time,
Dr.Cool (Daniel, ex Galaxy, new 12/89), was accused of stealing hardware
and software from several participants, and was promptly kicked from the
group. His friend Adolf then left, in an act of solidarity. Together the two
formed a new group called "Victims" with ex-members of Dynamix. Censor then
strengthened their memberstatus with Compus/Focus (swap) and White Lion
(swap, who propmptly changed handle to Master Race) and Methabol (crack)
from Omega (crack). Former "Fatal News" editor (and one of the original
founders) Euzkera decided to leave for Science 451. Not all was bad, though,
this was also the year they released their best demo yet, "Wonderland 8" and
the first issue of their new diskmag "Shock".
  1993 -  Dutchmen Mirage (code gfx) and Skater (editor, both ex Culture,
new 01/91) left early 93. The two were mainly responsible for the mag
project "Shock".
  1994 - When Victims slowly started to become inactive this year, Adolf
rejoined to work on a game (Bouncy Balls) with Bob!
  1995 - Bob had his animation and paint utility Cenimate Bitmap Editor
released commercially thru CP Verlag this year.

  Fatal News #1 (1989, early.10, Filemag).
  code: Psycho, gfx: Taito, music: n/a, editor: Euzkera.
  review: Information is scarce on the credits side of this first issue of
  Censor's diskmag. It took me a while to figure out that you need to press
  + and - to flip through the pages, since there's no text to explain this
  on the first page, and I honestly thought the page I was staring at was an
  intro :) There's not much to read in the mag, of most interest were two
  party reports from the same Horizon meeting. Page layout is pretty basic,
  and with an overuse of flashing color in the text.
    This is about as basic as a diskmag gets, though we have to remember
  that this was 1989. No release date appears in the mag, and I'm basing the
  date on the party reports (late .09) and the wish to have people attend an
  upcoming party (12-15.10). [glenn]

  Fatal News #2 (1989, .11, Filemag).
  code: Psycho, gfx: Taito, music: Lords of Sonics, editor: Euzkera.
  review: The second issue of FN sports some coding improvements (you can
  now choose between several categories, then flip the pages) and a little
  more to read, but otherwise looks identical. The biggest article this time
  is the party report from the Shape and TRC party in Norway. It's harder to
  put a date on this one than the first, it's sometime between mid.10 and
  .12/89, but that's as much as I can narrow it down. Getting better.
  [glenn]

  Fatal News #3 (1989, early.12, Filemag).
  code: Psycho, gfx: Taito, music: Lords of Sonics, editor: Euzkera.
  review: This issue is perhaps a small step back from the last one, with no
  real articles to keep reading interesting. Code has remained the same as
  last time, only now there's a new logo at the top of screen, which says
  Fatal News, not Censor like before. Not their best issue.
    Again the release date is purely a guess, based on circumstancial
  evidence :) [glenn]

  Fatal News #4 (1990, .01, Filemag).
  code: Anders Almann (psycho), gfx: Urban Nilsson, Patrik Havila, music:
  Magmagix/TRC, editor: John (euzkera).
  review: This issue is supposedly now released under the new 'professional'
  group Fatal Design, but since everyone involved is still Censor members,
  and this would just last for two issues, I have decided to let these two
  issues remain here, under the Censor section. Well, not much has changed
  since the last issue. As usual only one article, a report from the
  Dominators and Upfront party in Denmark in december. It may be just me,
  but I'm getting seriously tired of reading about how drunk you guys got,
  when I really want to know about the party. Not even results! They said in
  the last issue that this issue would get released at this party, but since
  they've included a report, it's fair to assume that they didn't make it!

  code: Codex (intro), Unifier (tool), gfx: Taito (introfont), music:
  Macmagic/TRC (intro, $1000), Maniacs of Noise (tool).
  Released at the Phenomena and Censor Party 90.
  review: A pretty basic intro precedes this tool for swappers, with what
  appears to be two ripped pieces of music - Macmagic's tune says 'by
  macmagic for contex' :) This was the first version of this tool released
  for Censor, the last version was released for Unifier's previous group
  Weird Science. [glenn]

  Fatal News #5 (1990, .03, Filemag).
  code: Anders Almann (psycho), gfx: Patrik Havila, music: Magmagix/TRC,
  editor: John (euzkera).
  review: This was to be last issue with the old code, and from the next
  issue this mag would no longer be a single file mag. Issue #5 was still
  released under the Fatal Design label, and my version was preceded by a
  strange, small note from CRT saying Euzkera had left Censor and that FN
  was no longer a Censor production (which I thought was the case even with
  the last issue!) Well, anyway - nothing much to read here, just the news
  were of minimal interest. The date is based on the next issue, which says
  the last one was released in march. [glenn]

  Fatal News #6 (1990, 16.08, Multifile Diskmag).
  code: n/a, gfx: n/a, music: n/a, editor: Euzkera.
  review: So finally FN got a new code...it's now a 'real' mag, but...
  there's something a little wrong with it... To be honest: The new code
  isn't really much of an improvement. It's now multiload, but the extra
  space this provides is sadly not used for more articles; it's just so that
  each and every 'article' can have its own soundtrack and logo. The new
  graphics are - to be quite honest - ugly. And even though it's been quite
  a while since the last issue, this is one of the thinnest ever as far as
  content goes. Disappointing.
    No credits either for the mediocre intro or the mag itself appears
  anywhere, other than that we understand that John (Euzkera) is still
  editor. He seems to be a member of Censor now, and no mention of Fatal
  Design anywhere...strange. Apparently they managed to get in a small war
  with Fairlight too, while the mag was away, which has now ended. [glenn]

  One Year In Wonderland (1990, 19.09, Demo).

  Fatal News #7 (1990, 23.09, Multifile Diskmag).
  code: Swallow, gfx: Taito, Dragon, music: ???/Vibrants, editor: Euzkera.
  review: It all opens with the standard b&w intro, with FATAL NEWS and
  CENSOR DESIGN logos alternating, so nothing changed there. A quick press
  of space takes us into the mag proper. Not much to read now either, but
  the news and editorials are wellwritten. The movie reviews and the
  interview with Dr.Cool/Censor (if you can't find anyone outside your group
  to interview, then what's the point?) we could perhaps have been without,
  but... Overall, this gives an ok impression, though. Nothing more than a
  monthly news update with some charts, but for that purpose this works just
  fine. Noteworthy for its announcement of the first ever swedish bust,
  Walker/Paragon getting busted on the 14th of september. This issue
  announces the joining of Danko and Adolf. [glenn]

  Wonderland 8 (1991, 02.05, Multifile Demo).
  code: Psycho, Bob, Guran, Swallow, Geggin, gfx: Dragon, Sensei, Skater,
  Taito, music: Danko/independent. Review:

  Shock #1 (1991, 20.05, Multifile Diskmag).
  code: Mirage, gfx: Mirage, music: The Dutch Composer (intro), ??? (main),
  editors: Illusionist/independent, Skater. review: Not really the first
  issue of Shock, but the first one on disk, this small mag actually gives a
  pretty good first impression, with good code, design and graphics. It
  gives a quick overview of the latest news, with the added strength of
  having both an American and a European editor being quite obvious. Very
  nicely done for a first issue of any mag! [glenn]

  Wonderland 9 (1992, 28.06, Demo).

  Absolute (1994, Multifile Demo).
  code: Zeux, Lion, gfx: Pete, music: Cubehead, Zeux, Taki/Natural Beat,
  Cane/ADSR/<S>. 2nd in the Exile Party demo competition.
  review: I was quite surprised by this demo from the to me unknown group
  Chaos - since it was actually rather good! Some interesting routines, good
  design and music, managed to really grab my attention and give me a good
  overall feeling for this demo. It's a really strange mix of old-style
  demoparts and new-style 'trackmo', actually. It utilizes an irq loader to
  allow music to play while the next part loads, but it is then faded down
  and each part has its own music. It's an interesting variation. The coding
  here is generally high-class, with things like 256 doublesinus plots in
  the sideborder, plasma, raytraced animation, morphing animation, fractal
  colorcycling (not the best idea =) and an especially interesting cfli
  tech-tech with two fld scrollers and an fld logo moving independently on
  top! Well, you have to see it to understand, I guess... =) But overall,
  this was a really surprising demo, and I look forward to seeing more from
  this group! [glenn]

Chromance was a Hungarian-based international cracking group (with the
occassional demo production), born in july of 1990 by the best members of
FBI-Crew. Canadian sysop Deviant ('FINAL GENOCIDE', 01/96-12/97) is nowadays
in the pc scene, while Hungarian cracker, swapper and supplier Mr.Wax
(Balazs Bernat, member since 1991!) spends his days in the mp3 scene. They
produced the papermag "Gridpoint Observer", as well as the cracking-focused
diskmag "Are We The Best?".
  1990 - Painkiller was accused by Local Lamer/Bad Taste in Amok's
"Sex'n'Crime #21" [12/90] of recracking their version of "Sensitive".
  1991 - January saw the joining of Hermit (ex Dr.Disk/Hitmen), Herman (ex
Teen/Chaos) and swapper Jazzy-D. There were widespread rumours that the
group entered into a cooperation with The Bombs this month, which is a
misunderstanding; there was never any coop. Some of their members were also
busted by the Hungarian post for cheating with stamps this month. Gizmo
joined from Solution in march. Still early in the year, the group saw the
departure of Gabriel (gfx), the arrival of Chum/Chaos#1, Suicide leaving the
scene, and later rejoining it as a member of Avantgarde.
  1993 - Dishy joined Dominators early this year. Mr.Wax stopped producing
"Are We The Best?' early this year, and went out in other diskmags looking
for someone to take it over. Swapper TBB joined from Arcade early in the
year, but soon moved on and was in Red Sector Inc. by october. Alagami
joined in may. German swapper Icarus joined around july. Cop joined from
Faces as his second group in september.
  1994 - American sysop Ancient Mariner ('THE EVIL ISLAND') rejoined his old
group Alpha Flight 1970 in september, after joining around the middle of the
year. They also lost and then regained Rug Rat ('EDGE OF MIDNIGHT'), though
now in cooperation with Aristocracy, and gained polish swapper and supplier
AMC from Charged this month. Other events in september included Wozio
leaving for his army duty, joining the already active Jazzy-D.
  1995 - Polish coder Druid/Agony left the group around january, and
instead joined F4CG as his second group. X-Radical was busted by the post
and police for sending hashish to one of his contacts, also around january.
American cracker Fungus joined this year, but left soon after for F4CG.
Cracker and swapper Blaze joined for a brief period from Xenon, before
moving on to Alpha Flight 1970 around september. Their swapper Zag renamed
to Scatman. Three new members joined; Techno/SCS-TRC (crack swap), Pete/
Onslaught joined as a doublemember, and finally Motion - previously of
Noice - joined as a swapper and trader. Some members also decided to leave;
Stake and Homeboy, who will be staying in Onslaught only, and took with him
swedish Joyride (sysop 'HIGHWAY', 93-) for the ride. When Wozio returned
from his army duty in october, he intends to open a board called 'COUNT(R)Y
JAIL' and resume his swapping activities. Mr.Wax and Jazzy D are also said
to be fully back in action. Artists Alias Medron, Moose and T.L. joined late
this year, as did Spermbird/Excess - with this as his second group.
  1996 - Around january the group recruited american sysop Scratcher (BASS
PLANET) and polish Hedgehog.
  1997 - In november-december they expanded their cooperation with Hungarian
demo group Resource, and the two groups now share the internet server
c64.rulez.org, where also their popular ftp site GANGSTA'S PARADISE is now
hosted. Sphere was kicked out due to inactivity.
  1999 - Spermbird (swap, also in Excess, 09/95-) left for Laxity.
  2000 - Longtime Hungarian coder, fixer and siteop Lion (09/94-) left for
Kempelen.

  Are We The Best? #1 (1991, early, Diskmag).
  INT - code: Alex, gfx: Gabriel, music: Griff.
  MAG - code: Alex, gfx: Alex (1x1 chars), Sangfroid (big chars), music:
        Griff, editors: Mr.Wax, Gabriel, Alex.
  review: AWTB is a mini-mag, focusing on the cracker scene, but fails to
  surpass its big brother, Triad's "Gamers Guide". The mag is laid out in a
  pretty simple manner, with a down/up scrolling text display, controlled
  via the joystick, and a mag logo in greyscale at the top of the screen.
  The ever-popular flashing text phenomenon is overkilled here. Editorially,
  this is pretty much what you'd expect frm a mag with this focus; it looks
  a lot like Gamers Guide, with the main bulk of the text dedicated to
  comparing versions of recently released cracks. The entire mag comes in a
  single 79-block file. The release date is approximate, and is more of an
  educated guess than anything else... :) Most of the covered games do seem
  to have been released around february, so an early march release is not a
  bad guess, I believe.
    Games covered this issue are; Breathalyzer (4 versions), Cavemania (6
  versions), Chips Challenge (3 versions), CJ's Elephant Antics (3
  versions), Combat Zone (3 versions), Deri Colours (6 versions), Diplomacy
  (3 versions), Exterminator (5 versions), Future Edition - Turn It 2 (1
  version), Hunt For Red October 2 (2 versions), Loopz (3 versions), Quick
  Draw McGraw (2 versions), Soccer Challenge (4 versions), Stuemp (3
  versions), Supercars (7 versions), Tanks (4 versions) and Tough Guys (7
  versions). [glenn]

  Are We The Best? #2 (1991, .04?, Diskmag).
  INT - code: Alex, gfx: Gabriel, music: Griff.
  MAG - code: Alex, gfx: Alex (1x1 chars), Sangfroid (big chars), music:
        Griff, editor: Mr.Wax.
  review: The intro is the same as the first issue, as is the mag code. They
  mention their similarities to the Gamers Guide now, but claim they had the
  IDEA first. Anyway, not a lot has changed since the last issue, the focus
  is still firmly on comparing different versions of cracks, with a few bits
  and pieces of news and other cracking-related information thrown in. As
  with the first issue, there is no indication of a release date, but
  another educated guess would be that it is at least still early 1991 -
  sometime in april is my guess, mostly based on the mention of events that
  occured at the "Horizon Party", which took place from the 29th of march to
  the 1st of april. The entire mag is a single 84 block file.
    Games covered this issue are; Breathalyzer (5 versions), Cavemania (11
  versions), Chips Challenge (13 versions), CJ's Elephant Antics (4
  versions), Deri Colours (13 versions), Diplomacy (6 versions), Eskimo
  Games (5 versions), Firepit (7 versions), Gremlins 2 (7 versions), Hazar
  (14 versions), Hunt For Red October II (5 versions), Last Ninja 3 (3
  versions), Lotus Esprit (4 versions), Madsprings (15 versions), Mighty
  Bombjack (6 versions), Oilmania (11 versions), Pureseed (5 versions),
  Quick Draw McGraw (6 versions), Silkworm IV (3 versions), Soccer Challenge
  (5 versions), Supercars (16 versions), Super Monaco GP (4 versions), Tanks
  (10 versions), Turn'n Burn (3 versions), Turrican II (9 versions), Vincent
  (6 versions) and finally Warlock (10 versions).
    There are a few minor screw-ups, that the editor should really have
  weeded out, but nothing too major. For example, spelling Exulans/Dunex'
  handle wrong, and in the info for Chips Challenge - what Hitmen version?

  Hammering 94 Official Party Invitation (1994, early, File).
  code: Jean/Absolute, gfx: n/a, music: Griff.
  review: This is probably the most simplistic party invitation I've ever
  seen ;) It's based on a noter by a member of Faces, then improved by Jean,
  and...well, it's pretty bareboned! :) This is a Chromance release only
  because there is no c64 Absolute section, because Griff did the music, and
  because it says 'spread by Chromance'. [glenn]

     (09/02), Sputnik (09/02).

Civitas is an international demogroup, lead from germany by Zeitgeist.
The group was born in 1998.
  2003 - Rough (09/02) left early this year, and will remain groupless, but
continue to work on his "Pirates Portal" (http://pirates.emucamp.com).
Dutch graphician and swapper JSL (09/02-) left early this year, to
concentrate on his other two groups; Samar and Protovision. He will support
Civitas in the future with some graphics, but is no longer a member. Swedish
coder and musician Puterman (07/00-) also left in the first months of this
year, for Fairlight. The group started searching for a new coder to replace
him. In february Lord Nikon released his first music collection, "Homer's
Dayout" [02/03]. Nightlord/Aesrude [no entry] joined in march as a coder
(his first group where he will fill this function) and musician. Richard
joined People of Liberty as his second group. Hucky (code gfx) joined from
Dualis, and will support Nightlord in his work on a new, upcoming demo.

  code/music: Puterman, gfx: Brainsmasher, Zeitgeist, Puterman (charsets,
  sprites). Split winner of the LCP 2000 demo competition!
  review: BOD comes as something of a nice surprise to me, deeply rooted as
  it appears to be in the oldskool tradition of demomaking. I came to this
  demo expecting nothing, and was quite charmed by its style. There are good
  parts in here, and others that are less so, but the overall experience is
  definitely a good one. Recommended.
    The demo comes with 9 files, totalling 247 blocks - not including the 31
  block note or the 68 block part selector. Uses Krill/Plush's loader system
  for irq-loading. [glenn]

SWE> The Torch (Hakan Mattsson, swap, 03/92).
???> Flint (early93), Joker (code, 91), Script (early93), Stormbringer
     early93).

Clique was a demogroup, based in Turkey. They were born in the middle of
1991, after Tuareg, Mad, Teod, Metallic, Master, Babyface, Scotch, Prince,
Exodus and Remix left Bronx to build a new group. An amiga section was also
formed.
  1993 - Playboy joined F4CG early this year. In june, the group was dealt a
major blow when Remix, the turkish editor of "Script", decided to leave the
c64 scene for a position with the amiga elite cracking group Crystal around
june! He released one final issue, "Script #15", before ending it all...

  Script #5 (1991, mid.06, Diskmag).
  INT - code: Tuareg, gfx: Remix (cn logo), Flint (script logo), music:
        Babyface.
  MAG - code: n/a, gfx: n/a, music: n/a.
  review: With this issue of Script (actually the first ever; the four
  previous ones were released under the name Cemetery News) everything got
  changed for the producers of the mag. They had a new group (they were
  previously in Bronx), the diskmag had changed its name, and they had a new
  outfit. It was a fresh start.
    Unfortunately, I was unable to view anything but the intro, since VICE
  gave me a cpu jam in the disk drive. I will return to the mag once I find
  the time to transfer it to native hardware and test it there. The disk
  comes with two notes; one written by Spellbound/Bronx using Bronx Noter II
  and one by Remix using Bullet/TERA's Easy Noter. [glenn]

turned down, they decided to form this group instead.
  1990 - In july, Sonix left the group for Powers of Pain. Twist left for
Paramount, Nono left for Holocaust, while Anvil joined from the recently-

???> Johnny Boy (new 03/90), Judge (new 89), Trailblaze (supply, 89), Zython
     (ex Byterapers, new 09/89).

Contex was a cracking and demo group formed by Actionforce/Byterapers, based
in Finland, but with additional members in Denmark and Germany.
  1989 - German Snoopy was kicked out early in the year, and consequently
joined Weird Science. Judge joined from Browbeat around may. Servant, Zython

2000 ad, while Dave and Rocker joined from Virgin around september.
  1990 - The group was in importing partnership with INC around march, and
also announced new member Johnny Boy this month. Around may the group
finally died. Flex (swap music, ex Byterapers), Apollyon, Scorpion and some

--------------------------
AUT> CHC (10/88), Icon (10/88), Thunderhawk (swap, 04/90).
???> Floyd (crack, 89), Panther (ex Chaos 1).

Cosmos was an Austrian cracking group, born after most members left TSK to
form this group in 1988. Their leader SSD (Martin) supplied the originals
for Antitrack (aka ATT) to crack, and the rest of the group pretty much
worked around that. They were undoubtedly the #1 group in Austria in their
time. Their death was first reported in Crazy's "Mamba #1" [11/89], as a
direct result of their leader SSD's leaving the scene. However Arny, Panther
and Hannes decided to carry the label Cosmos Designs on as their game
development identity, and further cracks were released upto at least 04/90.
  1990 - TIR and Sonix joined from World Wide Expressive around february.
Dutchmen Sonix, Red (both ex World Wide Expressive) and Red (swap) left and
tried to join Bonzai in june, but were turned  down. They therefore formed
Conflict. Austrians Antitrack (crack, 10/88-04/90) and Big Ben (10/88-) both
joined Legend around august, crippling the group's cracking possibilities.

Boards; WAREZ CASTLE (usa, coop Exodus, 01/90).

Crazy were a primarily german cracking group, also notorious for releasing
one of the first good diskmagazines; Mamba.
  1989 - Derek B left for Nato around september. The group entered into
cooperation with the newly born Lotus in december!
  1990 - Their cooperation with Genesis Project ended around february. DJ
left for Lotus while swiss Cyberpunk (11/89-) joined Genesis Project around
february. The rest of the swiss section (Martin (11/89-) and Stingray
(11/89-) + ?) stopped their computer activities. Barcley joined around
february. Cure left for Exodus in july. German cracker Pyle joined from
Legend in august.
  1991 - Max joined in january. January was fatal for the group, since it
died following the leaving of almost each and every important member -
Germans Pyle and Deff (11/89-) joined Illusion; german graphician Gotcha
(aka GTA, 11/89-) joined Talent; Smasher (ex Fresh, new 12/90) joined F4CG;
german DJ Weasel (crack, 11/89-) joined Crest and german coder Magic Man
(aka MGM, 11/89-) decided to leave the c64 for the pc scene. The game
"Vincent", made by Crazy members (a.o. Gotcha) was released around february.

  code: Magic Man, Shine, gfx: Shine, Gotcha, music: Magic Man (intro,

  review: A nice intro opens the premiere issue of Mamba, nothing
  extravagant just some nice logos and a scroll. Space pressed, and the mag
  loads. First impressions are not as good as for the intro, but the menu is
  OK. You select one of 10 articles with an arrow controlled with the
  joystick, then press fire to load it. The articles themselves are
  presented in a way that's original if nothing else. It's black on white
  (no color whatsoever) with little animated cliparts (that have nothing to
  do with the articles themselves) scattered around. Editorially, this issue
  is dominated by a HUMONGOUS amount of news, and little else. The language
  also leaves a little to be desired, meaning some of the news items are a
  little unclear.
    News that Zeron joined Censor were incorrect, and was corrected in the
  next issue. A party report is also on the disk separately. [glenn]

  Mamba #2 (1989, .12?, Diskmag).
  INT - code: Magic Man, gfx: Shine (logos), Gotcha, music: Magic Man.
  MAG - code: Shine, Magic Man (additional), gfx: Gotcha, Shine, music: Reyn
        Ouwehand/Scoop.
  review: Nothing has changed from the first issue as far as how things
  look. Editorially, this issue offers an interview with Excell/Ikari, the
  reports (just info on upcoming events), the charts, game reviews, contact
  addresses, a small comic strip (from MAD Magazine) ... but the main
  feature of the mag remains the news section, easily the most accomplished
  one in this issue - like the first.
    This review is of the 'improved and final' version of the mag, see the
  scrolltext in the intro to know if yours is the same. The original version
  was released at Venlo, under time pressure, and thus a few mistakes crept
  in. We are not exactly sure WHAT Venlo date this was released on, but an
  educated guess might be the one at the very end of december this year...
  But if this is the case, then why no 'merry christmas' or 'happy new year'
  messages? Hmm... And also, they announced the Upfront, Trilogy and
  Dominators party (26-30.12) as an UPCOMING party... Mysterious! :)

  review: Six tunes in a pretty attractively packaged small musicfile from
  Creators. All tunes are 'cover' versions of other computer music, from c64
  game soundtracks to amiga demo modules. As mentioned, the packaging (read:
  the graphics) are simple but good - the kind of graphics that doesn't NEED
  a million colors or interlaced modes to look good. But ofcourse, the most
  important aspect of any music pack is: the music. I can report good things
  here too; after a quick listening session, I found I liked all of them.
  Mermaid is an excellent graphician as well as an excellent musician, and
  she proves her talent once again here. Keep up the good work.

  this time doing cover versions of tunes by the great Rob Hubbard. After an
  interesting intro, with basically a Creators logo appearing and
  disappearing, sort-of as if there was a problem with tv reception, we
  press space and are launched into the selector itself. It's a minimalist
  affair this time, with the screen roughly split in two vertical halves.
  The left side holds the text plotter, explaining everything you need to
  know, with three equalizers at the the bottom. The right side holds a
  portrait of the (admittedly quite ugly ;]) man himself, Rob Hubbard. His
  portrait has some more of the 'tv-noise' effect overlaid. The overall
  impression is once again good, the minimalist design working well within
  the context. I must admit that everytime I load a Creators production, I
  do so with the anticipation of seeing some more of Mermaid's fabulous
  graphical artwork, and if I have to complain about anything here, it's
  that she hasn't put a lot of her great graphics in ;) Once again, I like
  this. The Commando cover rules.
    Those tunes then, all nine of them; Starpaws 2001, Monty's Back!,
  Thalamix II, Delta 4ever, Delta'97, Commando'95 (personal favourite :]),
  Bonus Track 1, Bonus Track 2 and finally Bonus Track 3. [glenn]

Creatures (CRT, -1993)
----------------------
GER> Caine (Christian Scaeire, swap, 01-02/93), Franko (swap, 03/92),
     Romulus (Roman Bannack, code swap, 92-05/93).
???> Bleed Into One (music, aka B.I.O, 05/93), Dr.Lecter (gfx, 05/93),
     Hiccup (gfx, 05/93).

Romulus released several utilities, including the text editor Screened V1.0
(04/93), Noisenoter 2.0 (15.01-93) and NoiseNoter 3.0 (93, supposedly the
final version :), which later became the Creatures Noter V2.01 (02.05-94).
In the release of this last noter, the death of Creatures was announced,
following the fact that most members were busy doing other things these
days.


Crescent (CRS, 1993-)
---------------------
TUR> Beast (org editor swap), Fanatic (code gfx), Impetigo (Serdar Asker,
     music editor swap), Mark (gfx), Olivaw (editor swap), Wisdom (Huseyin
     Kilic, code music), Zer-O (editor swap).

Crescent was formed in early April, 1993, as a demo group, through the
conversations between Beast/Dark Sun and Wisdom (who had joined Phobia just
a few weeks earlier). Basically, it was a merge between Dark Sun and Phobia,
though a short while later all other ex-members of Phobia except Wisdom was
kicked from the group. Therefore, the initial members were Beast, Impetigo,
Mark, Olivaw, Psychopath, Wisdom and Zer-0. Thanks to Wisdom for extensive
information.
  1993 - Before the end of summer, all members coming from Phobia, except
Psychopath, were kicked out of the group. Some games were imported and a few
cracks were released. But by the end of the year, the group stopped all
illegal activities and started work on the diskmag Anarchy.
  1994 - Anarchy and its text editor was completed by spring. During that
time, Zer-0 decided to leave the scene, due to personal reasons. Fanatic
(who had no group) joined in. Psychopath wanted to join Inox and stay in
both groups, but because of group policy, he was requested to leave. Just
before the release of the first issue of Anarchy, two new members called
Zack and Beaver (later renamed into Moloch) joined in. They had no group
previously. "Anarchy #1" [06/01] was released in June, together with the
music demo "Sonic Anarchy" [06/91]. During the summer and fall came the
rekeased of another couple of music demos, "Crescendo" and "Sonic Anarchy
2". By this time, technical work on Anarchy was completed, but no further
issues were released due to the editors losing interest in the project.
  1995 - An almost totally silent year for the group, with no releases
except a few utilities.
  1996 - During the first quarter of this year, "Crescendo 2" and "Sonic
Anarchy 3" was released. After this, almost no active members remained in
the group.
  1997 - Moloch and Zack (code) were asked to leave due to a single group
policy.
  2002 - The group is still officially alive, but inactive. Forming and pc
section and getting active again is planned, but not in the foreseeable
future.

Crest was a german-based demo group (though a few cracks were released early
in their career), born in august of 1988. They are one of the c64 scene's
biggest success stories, being one of the best groups on that scene for 15
years now. They are living legends.
  1990 - Scorpie joined from Manowar while Heatseeker (crack) joined from
Orion around february. The demo "2 Years Crest" [10/90] announced that Chake
(08/89-) and Scorpie had both left the group, and that Magic Man was never a
member. Heatseeker and Bonk (10/90-) were kicked for lazyness, and Lawyer
(10/90-) joined X-Ray in december.
  1991 - DJ Weasel (crack) joined after Crazy died in january. Danish
members Maduplec (code) and Tiger joined from Nato in december.
  1992 - Pat left the group around january, and at the same time O'Neill
changed his handle to MSK (which are the initials of his name). Megabyte
joined the army in october, and will not be able to perform any scene duties
until this is over.
  1993 - Sometime between january and april, The Syndrom (also in TIA)
joined the group from Padua.
  1995 - Deekay was booted out of his second group TRSI around january.
  1997 - In april Crossbow and Deekay released the demo "Krestage 2 - Follow
The Roots" [04/97]. Deekay was main graphician on Graham/Oxyron's second-
place demo "One-Der" [12/97] at The Party!
  1998 - At the Mekka Symposium in april, the group released the demo
"Krestyron" in cooperation with Oxyron.
  2002 - Dane's demo "Digital Magic" made it all the way up to first place
in the demo competition at Little Computer People!
  2004 - Dane contributed an intro (in cooperation with Iopop/Triad) for
Oxyron's diskmag "Attitude #7" [01/04] in january.

  Chris/Megablast.
  review: 2YC is graphically a very appealing demo, technically advanced and
  certainly one to turn a few heads. The coding by Vision and Crossbow is
  top-notch, a lot of the graphics by GBF Design is very very good, and the
  music is... just fabulous. Really, the only place this demo lacks anything
  is in the design department. The design of some of the parts are a little
  lacklustre, with some more thought put into this aspect, this would have
  been an excellent demo. As it stands, it's merely a very good one. This
  demo announces the leaving of Chake and Scorpie, and the fact that Magic
  Man was never a member. The demo consists of 12 files, totalling 660
  blocks (including the note). This was likely not released at any party.
  In 1994, Pink/Abyss did an amiga cover version of Zardax' fabulous tune
  for this demo.
    What follows is a breakdown of the different parts, with specific
  credits - part 1; graphical introduction (c: vision, g: gbf, music:
  "breakfast" by xayne), part 2; 16 sprites over fli logo + bordersprites
  (c: crossbow, g: crossbow (logo), gbf (char), m: "juicy fruit" by xayne),
  part 3; 11 dycps (c: crossbow, g: crossbow (chars), m: "jingle" by
  zardax/origo), part 4; joystick-controlled picturescroll (c: vision, g:
  gbf, m: "funky stuff" by xayne), part 5; fiftysix dxycps (c: crossbow, g:
  n/a, m: chris/megablast), part 6; 112 sprites in all borders (c: crossbow,
  g: gbf, m: moz(ic)art), part 7; fld sideborder scroll (c: vision, g: gbf,
  music: laxity/vibrants), part 8; fli fld logo (c: crossbow, g: gbf, m:
  laxity/vibrants), part 9; 160 dycps (c: crossbow, g: gbf, m: link/
  vibrants), part 10; the end upscroll (c: vision, g: gbf, crossbow (the end
  logo), m: link/vibrants). There is an accompanying note (most versions
  available online do NOT have this note!), that details the credits for
  each part. Credits for this note goes as such; c: vision, g: gbf, m: geir
  tjelta/moz(ic)art. [glenn]

  Design/?, GBF, music: Link/The Vibrants, Drax/The Vibrants, JCH/The
  Vibrants, Laxity/?. Cooperation with Genesis Project.
  review: TYE is a cooperation demo with Genesis Project (hereafter GP), and
  though not really an outstanding one, it nevertheless has some good parts.
  The two take turns coding parts, so every other one is made by Vision and
  FGTH. There is in total 9 parts, which we'll walk you though
  chronologically here. part 1 (vision) has scrollers and moving G + C
  logos, part 2 (fgth) has 84 sprites with a multiplexed dysp, part 3
  (vision) has moving G + C logos in the bottom border, colorful upscroller
  moving left and right and in borders, part 4 (fgth) has 4 dycp scrollers
  over a (very good) picture of an eye, part 5 (vision) has a joycontrolled
  dxycp containing 32 different characters. + a scroller, part 6 (vision) is
  a little cluttered; starting at the bottom there is a scroller, then a
  genesis + crest logo, then dots (the main 'effect') on either side of a
  textplotter with VSN+FGTH sprites flying all over it. Phew! ;) part 7
  (vision) has a large scrolling picture and two dycp scrollers, part 8
  (fgth) has some smooth but small hidden line vectors and finally part 9 is
  the endpart, which is just a textplotter and some fireworks.
    The demo consists of 9 files totalling 516 blocks, plus a onescreen
  notefile of 17 blocks - all in all 533 blocks. [glenn]

  code: Crossbow, gfx: Deekay (logos, sprites), Crossbow, Gum Bear Front
  Design, music: Mitch & Dane, The Syndrom, Drax.
  review: Seemingly made from the basic idea of doing a demo with an
  "oldskool" feel, while still offering technical excellence. Perhaps more a
  coder's demo more than anything else, this, with records being seemingly
  broken in every single part. This is a very nice demo, make no mistake,
  but I do feel coders will appreciate the effects and descriptions of those
  more appealing than the average viewer. As it stands, this is still a
  significant production, that shows that old records can still be broken,
  and limits can still be pushed.
    The demo comes in 2 files, totalling 255 blocks - probably utilising
  some kind of iffl technology to load the different parts. The demo was
  released for Xayne's birthday, and likely not for any demo competition at
  all. This was Maduplec's first appearance since he released "Why I Like
  Demos" back in 1993. [glenn]

  Krestage 2 - Follow The Roots (1997, 26.04, Multifile Demo).
  code: Crossbow, The Syndrom (endpart), gfx: Deekay, The Syndrome (endpart
  chars), Gum Bear Front Design (endpart logo), music: Mitch & Dane, The
  Syndrom, JCH/Vibrants.
  review: K2 is a very good demo, let me just say that right now. Some
  amazing effects done seemingly effortlessly, with lots of style, great
  graphical design and a real sense of innovation. No text in the demo
  really indicates a party release, so this can just as likely have been
  released outside a party.
    The show opens with a simple intro that culminates in a logo-picture by
  Deekay done in a new graphics mode they call SHF-XL. Nowhere is it
  mentioned why this is such a special process, neither in the demo nor in
  the editor that is present on the disk. The editor, when loaded, defaults
  to this very same picture. M&D's music is called "Magnetic Moons".
    Next is something you're going to be seeing a lot of in this demo, a
  rather amazing little part that precedes all the others in the demo,
  telling a little about the upcoming display. The part itself features
  something I have never seen before, a scroller moving from the bottom
  right to the top left of the corner... in 640x400 resolution! Yes, this is
  supposed to be impossible, I know, but it sure does look real... M&D's
  music is "Escape from Reality".
    Then comes an FLI-stretcher. For those who don't know what this is, I
  can try to explain it like it stretches a FLI-picture up and down,
  distorting it in various ways in the process. This part was done with the
  help of a FPD (Flexible Pixel Distance) routine. The picture here is a
  pretty good CREST logo by Deekay, btw =) Nice touch with the Krestage logo
  in the bottom right border. Style all the way. Music by The Syndrom.
    After another visit from the 640x400 part, it's time for some record-
  breaking. This time Crossbow's done 11 ora-mega-dycps (and no, I don't
  really know the difference from a normal dycp either =), beating Chorus' 8
  ones, which again beat the original 7 done by Light. Another stylish part,
  with a nice logo by Deekay.
    The final visit from our old friend the 640x400 intro, we enter the
  endpart - incidentally the only thing in this demo NOT coded by Crossbow
  =) This is really nothing special, just an upscroller with some bye-byes.
  The music is an old unreleased tune by JCH, sent to Crest ages ago, which
  they were reminded about after JCH released all his old unreleased tunes
  to the internet. Nice logo here too, supposedly by "Gum Bear Front
  Design"... [glenn]

  Winner of the Mekka Symposium 2000 demo competition!
  review: And at the Mekka Symposium, Crest showed us what total domination
  looks like... In short, this is simply an AMAZING demo, that really shows
  us how far evolution has come on the humble c64. I'll quickly break down
  the parts for you here, but do see it yourself, no description can really
  justify this demo. The opening is great, with a very cool dissolve of the
  screen into the intro, wholly presented in IFLI, with a textplotter on an
  AMAZING picture by Deekay! Next is some very fast plasma, and then a
  spinning checkerboard effect. Then onto an extremely fast and beautiful
  zoomer, with a pattern that says loading (we also get to see this once
  again later). Deekay's fourth-placed picture from the MS graphics
  competition is next, here titled "Techno-cracy" (for the compo, it was
  "Technocrazy 100%", but perhaps they made a spelling mistake, what do I
  know?). Then comes another plasma-variation, this time sortof 'under' a
  Crest logo, in a part they've titled "Aces-Assma" (?). Then we are shown
  REAL interference, an effect that they claim has now been done for real
  for the first time on the c64, previous attempts were merely fakes. It
  sure does look like real amiga interference to me, at least... Then a
  small animation asks us to turn the disk.
    Te second part opens with a Coca-Cola can, that is then spun and twisted
  in various ways. I remember seeing very similar parts on the amiga in the
  early 90's, actually =) Next we revisit that amazing zoomer I told you
  about earlier, only now with a new pattern, while it loads another
  picture, this time Cyclone's "Cyclone de l'interieur", which was third in
  the graphics competition. The last real effect is also the real
  showstopper; titled "Dawnfall in Technicolor", this is just like the good
  old 'optimum fuckup' effect, pioneered by Sanity in their demo of the same
  name on the amiga, and it looks just amazing! For those who don't know
  what that means, it's sort-of texturemapping... And FAST! They mention in
  the notefile that you can watch thison a C128 for double speed!! Then it's
  just the endpart left, which here is an upscroller over a slideshow of
  Mermaid's best pictures, loaded one after the other. There is really no
  excuse for anyone not to download this awesome piece of demo.
    A notefile accompanies the demo, with exact credits for each part. The
  note was probably coded specifically for this demo, by Crossbow. Graphics
  by Deekay, music by Jeff. [glenn]

  Digital Magic (2002, 03.08, Multifile Demo).
  code: Dane, Graham (irqloader, packer), gfx: Dane, music: "No Match" by
  Mitch and Dane, "Flowerguy's Pool Party", "Magneto" and "Whistle Song" by
  Dane. Winner of the Little Computer People 2002 demo competition!
  review: Dane's one-man show DM is... truly a show. As he mentions himself
  in the accompanying notefile, it is perhaps more a slideshow than a demo,
  but having said that it's a goddamn great slideshow ;) This is a slideshow
  that not only presents a lot of very good pictures, but also a new
  'graphics mode', dubbed x-fli. In short, it allows for a lot of color in
  small spaces, much like the idea behind the original fli routine, but now
  approaching ifli resolutions WITHOUT the interlacing. There are interlaced
  pictures as part of the show too, but the real impressiveness comes from
  the rock-solid 'standard' x-fli ones. Some variation on his subjects might
  be in order for Dane, who seems very preoccupied with beautiful, naked
  women (then again, who isn't? :]), but when his talent for drawing
  physique is as faultless as it is, you can't really fault him on this
  either. The demo is roughly divided up into four parts, each with its own
  individual soundtrack. The demo is run by first running a file on the
  first side, then flipping the disk. The rest of the files are all on the
  flipside. Though I spend a lot of time discussing the graphics in this
  production (natural, I guess, since that appears to be its main focus), I
  will have to extend a special mention to the demo's final piece of music,
  "Whistle Song". Dane; this one's just awesome, and will follow me around
  in my head for quite a while... Thank you. :)
    Exploring the demo's directory structure, one quickly finds it comes as
  stuffed with extras as any 'special edition' dvd ;) The first thing you'll
  probably want to have a look at is the notefile, specially coded by HCL/
  Booze Design, and featuring no less than six selectable Dane tunes. All
  four tunes from the demo are accessible using a selector/player on the
  disk. Dane's contributions to the graphics ("Ray of Light") and music
  ("Flowerguy's Pool Party") competitions at LCP02 can also be accessed
  individually on the disks. The music contribution is also featured in the
  note, by the way. The next-to-last extra is the inclusion of the actual X-
  FLI editor, and the final one is a small file on the second diskside
  called 'WEAPON OF CHOICE' (anyone remember a certain music video featuring
  Christopher Walken? ;]), which is a selector that allows you to jump
  straight in at any of the four parts. [glenn]
