Damage (DMG, 1991-, http://student.oulu.fi/~count/damage.html)
--------------------------------------------------------------
FIN> Abaddon (Timo Taipalus, music, 12/97-12/98), Buggy Bug Bug (Lasse
     Haatja, code, old handle Count Zero, 12/97), Decor8 (gfx, 12/97-12/98),
     Rzb (gfx, 12/98), Smirk (gfx, 12/98), Tempest (Janne Suni, gfx music,
     12/97-08/02), Venturus (Teppo Keitaanniemi, music, 08-12/98).

Damage is a finnish demo group, spawned from the original group on the
amiga, originally born in 1991.
  1998 - At the assembly this august, the group's sole release was a
contribution to the music competition from Venturus and Abaddon.

  X-Mas Demo (1990, Demo).

  Assembly '97 Party Report (1997, 09.12, File).
  code: Buggy Bug Bug, gfx: Decor8 (logo), !Cube/Trauma (font), music:
  "Modulation" by !Cube/Trauma.
  review: Very simple, yet does its job, this is little more than a
  glorified note that allows visitors to the party to ramble on for
  textscreen after textscreen =) Not badly done, but hardly revolutionary...
  This was Dmage's first c64 production. It was originally to have been
  released in november by Abomination, but in november most members of
  Abomination joined Damage instead.
    !Cube's tune was third in the Zoo 97 music competition. [glenn]

  Shaft preview (1998, 05.12, Demo).
  2nd in the Zoo 98 demo competition.
  review: Not released at the party, since the producers wanted to clean it
  up a little first.


Danelaw 1219
------------
DEN> Count Dracula, Ecan (code gfx), Faze, Popeye, Scale.

  Radical!!! (File).
  code: Ecan, gfx: Ecan, Shady, Doze, music: various.
  review: You've all seen a million of these, with a happy mixture of ripped
  and ownmade graphics, and all-ripped game music - in this instance a.o.
  Matt Gray's "Hunters Moon" and music from "Platoon". There are four parts
  to this unexciting piece, and not much to keep anyone's interest. No
  release date appears anywhere in the demo, except references to a recent
  copy party held in Copenhagen, Denmark by "New Life". [glenn]

  1990 - Brain and Disc joined from Motion around august.
  1991 - The Bat extended his abilities to cracking from january. Delta
joined Extreme in december.


Deceit (DCT)
------------
SWE> Zyron (Johan Astrand, music, 11/90).

  1990 - Zyron's "Zyron Music-Collection #1" [11/90] was released late
november.

  Zyron Music-Collection #1 (1990, 26.11, Musicdisk).
  code/gfx/music: Zyron.
  review: Well, this first attempt at a music collection is probably as lame
  as these things come. It has a text plotter, a scroller and 10 songs.
  Sound like anything you've ever seen before? =) Yeah, there's a million of
  these out there, and you need better songs to be noticed among the crowd.
  I guess this collection is noteworthy as Zyron's first collection, since
  he later got a lot better, and had considerable success in other groups.
  The scrolltext mainly deals with Zyron's teenage love for a girl called
  Maria, which one of the songs is also named after. It put a smile on my
  face at least, guess we've all been where Zyron was when he was putting
  together this, eh? Those ten songs in full, then; "Fighting", "X-Mas Mix",
  "Galaxian Contacts", "Ninja Remix", "Lame", "Paranoia", "Maria",
  "Depressed", "Digital Force" and "Maximum".
    The entire collection is exactly 200 blocks, spanning 12 files
  (executable, replayer, and 10 songs). The tunes were written using
  SoundMaster 1.0, as admitted in the scroller. He desperately wants a new
  composing progeam. No wonder. ;) [glenn]


Decibel (DEC)
-------------
N-L> TNM (Roy Lenders, code).

Decibel are a Dutch cracker group.

  World's Best (File).
  code: TNM, gfx: from game FALCON, music: Loony II/???
  review: Calling this a 'demo' is perhaps stretching things a mite far, but
  here goes: this is the kind of thing people do for a 'first demo'. It is
  just a single demo screen, with a ripped picture (from the game Falcon), a
  ripped tune and a scroller at the bottom of the screen. Oh, and some badly
  done raster bars. World's Best? We think not. [glenn]


Defiance
--------
POL> Rico (Rafal Likitarczuk, code, 95).
???> Akadem (pol? music, 95), Als (pol? music, 95), Jester Kyd (pol? gfx,
     95).

  Jester Kyd's Graphics Collection (1995, Disk slideshow).
  code: Rico, KM/Taboo (loadsystem), MMS/Taboo (packersystem), gfx: Jester
  Kyd, music: Akadem (intro), Als (main).
  review: Jester Kyd? Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? I'm only
  guessing, but that‘s nearly stealing the name of someone LEGENDARY on the
  Amiga scene - Jesper Kyd/The Silents. And seeing as he was a musician, I
  simply don‘t get it. Hmm... Anyway, onto the production itself: Not all
  that fabulous, I'm afraid. He‘s retreading old ground here, making
  versions of old Boris paintings we‘ve seen done ten times over - and a
  small surprise. He‘s actually gone and done a version of Fairfax/Pure
  Metal Coders' picture "ZZ.Madman", winner of The Gathering graphics
  competition 1994! Hmm... Unfortunately Jester Kyd is not even a very good
  graphician. Most of these pictures are of the 'switching between two pics
  very very fast to give the impression of more colors/resolution' variety.
  Don‘t. [glenn]


Deicide
-------
???> Jayce (early 93), King tromb (early 93), Marcus (early 93), Spirou
     (early 93).

  1993 - King Tromb, Jayce and Marcus got busted for graffiti! Achilles
quit, but is still on the boards. Walker/Light joined for a few days, before
accepting a joining offer from Active.


Dekadence (DKD, http://www.dekadence64.org)
-------------------------------------------
FIN> Britelite (Peter Halin, code gfx music, also in Scallop, 11/97-04/03),
     Jaffa (design, 08/99), Player One (music, 08/02), SounDemoN (Otto
     Jarvinen, code music, 08/02).
POL> Phase1 (gfx, also in Creators, 11/02).
SPA> Almighty God (Domingo Alvarez, also in F4CG and Level64, 11/02).

Dekadence is a finnish demo group.
  2003 - Britelite contributed a very good intro for Oxyron's "Attitude #5"
[04/03].

  Beertime (1999, 07.08, Demo).
  code: Brite-Lite, gfx: Brite-Lite, Jaffa (design), music: "Starfall" by
  Brite-Lite. 4th in the Assembly 99 demo competition.
  review: Apparently, this is DKD's first ever production, a short (both in
  running time and size) dentro entirely presented in monchrome and grey...
  but still not depressing in any way ;) The best thing about this small
  production, imho at least, is the absolutely fabulous tune. "Starfall" was
  also submitted to the music competition this year, where it won the
  competition, and it's not hard to see why. Graphics are very average,
  mostly logos, and the code is basic but effective. Effects are mostly
  dithered 4x4 effects like plasma-like stuff etc. Overall, this leaves me
  with a good feeling and a desire to play "Starfall" in the background
  while writing a lot :)
    At least on my disc, the demo was accompanied by a note, as well as
  Brite-Lite's contributions to the graphics and music competitions at
  this party. The note was written using FlashNoter v1.2 by Whiplash/TDR in
  june 1994. Britelite also contributed to Scallop's 2nd-placed demo "JAQ"
  [08/99] at the same party. [glenn]

  Beertime II (2001, .08, Demo).
  3rd in the Assembly 2001 oldskool demo competition.

  My Kondom (2002, 03.08, Multiload Demo).
  code: Britelite, Droidi/Haujobb [pc], SounDemoN (loadersystem), gfx: Sir
  Drink-a-Lot, Xhale/Haujobb [pc], Britelite, Visualice/Haujobb [pc] (part 3
  loader picture), music: "My Kondom Part1" and "Tamagotchi2" by Britelite,
  SounDemoN. Cooperation with Haujobb.
  2nd in the Assembly 2002 oldskool demo competition.
  review: A rather unexpected event was the release of this demo from
  Dekadence in cooperation with top PC demo group Haujobb - one of their
  coders even releasing his first (to my knowledge) c64 with this demo! I
  only wish it had been a better demo, though. MK is a demo best viewed from
  a distance, since close up (and personal) the shortcomings of the 'every-
  other-line-blacked-out' videomode chosen for most of the effects becomes
  blatantly obvious. I guess this demo looked a lot better on the bigscreen
  than it does in the sharpness of a pc monitor... The best part of the demo
  is some passable graphics, most notably the title picture and Visualice's
  b&w loader picture. The music is awful throughout. Sorry, guys, but that's
  the truth. Monotonous and unexciting. Overall, this is an average demo
  release that shows promise, especially in terms of design. I'll certainly
  be looking twice at anything new these guys produce... And let's hope
  their next release will be slightly better ;)
    The demo includes a note written in an awful, old noter; OctaNoter by
  Morris/Extacy from 1993. The note contains nothing extraordinarily
  interesting, just a couple of additional credits not mentioned inside the
  demo. The name of the demo is an obvious in-joke on a previous demo;
  Haujobb and Scoopex' The Party 97 winning amiga demo "My Kingdom". For the
  sake of history, that demo was also hjb's first big success.


De-Koder (http://www.dkgroup.prv.pl)
------------------------------------
POL> Colitt (Lukasz Poloczek, gfx, 04-07/03), Data (Radoslaw Staszak, code
     music, also in Tropyx, 07/03).


Delta System
------------
GER> TMM (Jens Minnack, swap, 02/92).


Demonix (DMX)
-------------
USA> Stablizer (fix, new 09/94).
???> Sidekick (fix, 09/95).

Demonix are an american fixer group.
  1994 - Stablizer/Aristocracy (fixer) joined around september. Their board
'THE DUNGEON' is still up. Styx joined from Aristocracy around december, but
was soon after kicked for inactivity.
  1996 - The Unholy joined Onslaught as a second group in january, to help
them fix their releases.


Demotion
--------
Demotion was a small danish group with members like Dean Krog (Diskkiller),
CS, Cruzer, Stormie, Lorus (today: pfk), and Slammer. They released some
demos, like Changes, The New Style, 6510 Abuse, Stroke One and finally
Unbounded. This demo got its makers several offers, and finally Cruzer and
Slammer joined Bonzai.


Depredators
-----------
???> Charlie (ex Lazer, new 01/91), Hero (crack, new 02/92), Maestro
     (supply, new 02/92), Motorbreath (crack, 91).

Depredators was a cracking group.
  1990 - Infocomie and Hewitt joined the newly formed Class in may.
Pri/Duplex and Myth/Trans-X joined in december.
  1991 - Charlie joined from Lazer around january.
  1992 - Maestro (supply) and Hero (crack) joined around february.


Depth (2002-)
-------------
Depth are a demogroup, active in the past on the amiga and pc, who made
their first feeble babysteps on the c64 with the release of the small intro
"Partyscroller" at the Solskogen party in june 2002. :)

  Partyscroller (2002, 29.06, Intro).
  code: Mermaid/Creators/Crest, gfx: Sprocket (logo), Allanon (font), music:
  Slumgud. 3rd in the Solskogen 2002 demo competition.
  review: Hehe... :) Well, it's their first attempt at anything on this
  machine, and at such it works. It's essentially just a logo, a
  textplotter, a scroller and some sprites, but as it is it's not all bad.
  Let's hope Depth decide to do more on this machine! :) A special mention
  must go to Slumgud; this is NOT AT ALL bad for his first ever sid tune!
  [glenn]


Desert Nomads
-------------
SPA> Almighty God (Domingo Alvarez, swap, 01/95).


Destiny
-------
???> Illusionist (crack).


Device (-1993)
--------------
  1993 - Epic and Device went into cooperation early this year, but the coop
broke down in may. This unfortunately caused Device's death. Lexi joined
Legend.


Dexion
------
???> Future Freak (Kim Tholstrup Christensen, music, 87-89).

The Amiga section of Dexion also had a (great!) musician called Future
Freak. It's a fair assumption they are one and the same. If you can, try to
hear the awesome classic that is the first tune (the one with the 3d
scroller) in the Dexion "Megademo" on the Amiga!! Now, -THAT-'s a classic!


Digital
-------
HUN> Control (music, aka CTRL, 06/99).


Digital Designs (DD)
--------------------
NOR> Abbot (Arne S. Kilde, swap, new 02-09/93), Buddha (Truls Moe Lundgren,
     gfx swap, new 12/92-09/93), Proxxon (Rolf Runar Bakke, code swap, old
     handle The Pretty One aka TPO, new 12/92-09/93), The Meatball (Øyvind
     Antonsen, aka TMB, mainorg code gfx swap, 03/92-09/93), Yuggoth (Tore
     Sjøvaag, code gfx swap, old handle Lloyd, 04/92-09/93).
SWE> Father Dagon (Stefan Myrnes, code gfx swap, 04/92-09/93).

Digital Designs were a talented Norwegian demo group, with one central
Swedish member, Father Dagon. They were originally just three members
(Shark, The Meatball and Father Dagon) but in the course of 1992 they also
recruited Lloyd and, at the very end of the year, Buddha and The Pretty One.
This lineup completed the demo "Quaternion" which was made at an internal
meeting in Bergen around new year 92/93 and released 01.01-1993.
  In february 1993 they recruited one further member, swapper Abbot,
bringing the member count up to 7. In may they released what was undoubtedly
their finest demo so far, "Jerkland". Not much happened after that, except a
couple of members changing handles and the release of the catastrophic
"Komagutt" [09/93] demo.
  1995 - The group changed their name into Unlight around january.

Norwegian coder and musician Shark (04/92-09/93) changed handle to his real
  name Glenn Rune Gallefoss and joined Shape and its music subgroup Blues
  Muz'.

  Techno Chaos (1992, 19.04, Multifile).
  Released for the Phenomena and Light Easter Conference 1992 demo comp.
  code: Father Dagon, The Meatball, Lloyd, Shark, gfx: Shark, Father Dagon,
  The Meatball, Lloyd, Pal/Offence, music: Shark, Richard Rinn/independent,
  Joachim 'Jack/ATG' Wijnhoven.
  review: They complain that this demo (their first) is not all it should
  have been, but I   think they're shortchanging themselves; there are
  certainly a lot of redeeming points to this production! Lots of good
  graphics (though not in the "Jerkland" quality zone), and some excellent
  exclusive music make this everything but a bad demo. There is nothing
  really outstanding either, but it is rather a nice collection and
  certainly good enough for a first try! Not bad at all. They mention Lloyd
  as 'their newest member'. [glenn]

  Midnight Coffee Break (1992, .12, File).

  Quaternion (1993, 01.01, Multifile).
  code: Lloyd, Shark, The Meatball, Father Dagon, gfx: Lloyd, Shark, The
  Meatball, Father Dagon, Pal/Offence, music: Shark.
  review: DD's second demo was made and released during the course of an
  internal meeting the group held in Bergen around new year 92/93, and is
  actually a small disappointment after the excellent "Techno Chaos" (04/92)
  demo. There is some nice stuff here too, but nothing in that league. This
  is a pretty average demo with a few nice touches.
    This demo announces the joining of their two new members Budda and The
  Pretty One (TPO). The first tune appears to be the same "Neverending
  Story" cover that was also used in "Techno Chaos"! [glenn]

  Jerkland (1993, 30.05, Multifile).
  code: Father Dagon, Lloyd, The Meatball, The Pretty One, Shark, gfx:
  Buddha, Father Dagon, The Meatball, Pal/Panoramic Designs, Shark, Haakon/
  Shape, Lloyd, music: Shark, Bluez' Mus (Kristian Røstøen, E. Sommersten).
  9th in The Computer Crossroads 93 demo competition.
  review: With this, their third demo, DD has accomplished what is actually
  a true work of demo art - this one's got a real high degree of
  entertainment! Everything about "Jerkland" is top notch, from the great
  music to the fabulous graphics to the ace code. There's DYCPs galore,
  filled vectorcubes and... well, what can I say? All music appears to be
  exclusive, and almost each and every tune is a pearl. I'm speechless.
  Just download and leave me alone :) [glenn]

  Komagutt (1993, 07.09, Multifile).
  review: This is not a seriously meant demo, and contains little of
  interest. It was made at an internal group meeting in Nedenes, Norway,
  with some 'humourous' elements that are totally unfunny. Not a good demo.
    The disk I reviewed also contained a nice musicripp of the "Last Ninja
  2" music done by Proxxon. [glenn]

  Jerkland II (Demo, 2 disksides).
  Released 1994 (TCC 1994, Sweden)


Digital Underground (DUG, -1990)
--------------------------------
  1990 - The group died around january after Maxell, Denou and Aument all
left the group. Mad Max decided to rebuild Mythos.


Digitech (-1990)
----------------
Spell Productions rejoined the group around june, before Digitech finally
died in july of 1990.


Disoner (1990-)
---------------
???> Mayday (new 06/90).

Disoner was born around may of 1990. Bagzy left for Warrant while Mayday
joined around june.


DMAgic (DMA)
------------
GER> Jak T Rip (code gfx, 05/99-03/03), Mac Guyver (Mild Mundt, webmaster,
     05/99-03/03).
???> CreaMD (code music webmaster, 05/99-03/03), Wotnau (code mainorg,
     05/99-03/03).

DMAgic was formed by CreaMD, MacGyver, Thunderblade and Wotnau. Jack T. Rip
joined shortly after, and Thunderblade (code crack gfx) left sometime around
2001. They are mainly a demogroup, but have also released some quality
cracks of classic games. The group is behind one of the most important c64
sites on the net, the news portal http://www.c64.sk, and also hosts the c64
section of the annuel Forever parties in Slovakia. Members of the group are
also behind the website http://come.to/supercpu. Thanks to Jak T Rip for
information.


Domination
----------
Domination is not a group per se, but a diskmagazine made up of members from
several other groups - with main editor Jazzcat as the remaining member.

  Domination #1 (1994, .08, Diskmag).
  INT - code: Shades/Shazam, Grize/Shazam, gfx: Rob/Camelot, music:
        Megmyx/Storm^PSI.
  MAG - code: Shades/Shazam, Grize/Shazam (packers), gfx: RRR/Oxyron (main),
        Calypso/Amnesia^Silicon (chars), music: Morbid/SCS+TRC, Red
        Devil/Fairlight, Zyron/Antic, Doxx/Noice, editor: Jazzcat/Legend.
  review: Domination is an Australian mag, with a certain focus on the
  cracking scene. The intro that opens the mag is very basic, just a picture
  with a logo that appears gradually overlayed on it, and some music. When
  you press space, music starts playing (IRQ loader) while the first article
  loads. The mag itself is OK, with two normal RRR logos, and a useable
  charset. The mag is read with joystick only, on a text across the top half
  of the screen that you scroll up an down. The lower half is occupied by a
  logo. Pressing fire brings you to a menu where you can choose an article
  or a different piece of music. The music options are quite cool, actually
  - in addition to four tunes, you also get the option of switching to a new
  piece of music for each new article you read, thus lessening the tendency
  of boredom with the music. All music presented in this mag was made
  exclusively for it, which is nice. When you've chosen an article, the
  music starts playing first, while loading the rest of the article. Nice.
  The font used for reading is a standard, nonproportional 8x8 pixel one,
  which limits the mag a little - but then again, this was 1994...
  Contents of this first issue is more than fair. In addition to the normal
  sections like the editorial and the news section, you can read a release
  chart, a normal chart (best single cracker etc), interviews with Bacchus/
  Fairlight, Jeroen Tel (!) and NME/ex Illusion. The rest of the mag
  contains uninteresting articles about real life (sex and drugs), as well
  as two full pages of contact addresses. Overall, the first issue of
  Domination is a nice package. It occupies an entire diskside. [glenn]

  Domination #2 (1994, .10, Diskmag).
  INT - code: Grize/Shazam, gfx: Vodka/Fairlight, music: "Black Side of
        Love" by Megamyx/Storm.
  MAG - code: Shades/Shazam, gfx: RRR/Oxyron/AFL (logos), Calypso/Amnesia/
        Silicon (charset), music: Morbid/SCS+TRC, Parson/Equinoxe, Peace/
        Noice, X-Radical/Chromance, editor: Jazzcat/Legend (main), Steve/
        Avantgarde, Splatterhead/Chromance, The Mercenary/Empire, Freestyle/
        Avantgarde.
  review: Most of what is true about the first issue, reviewed above, is
  also true about this one. The graphics and design for the mag is the same,
  and works in a similarly standard fashion. It's a good magcode, plain and
  simple. The focus of this mag is on the cracking and board-scene, and as a
  result the reading material here is of a limited interest today (except to
  us who have taken upon us the impossible task of editing things like
  scenery ;). It's extremely news-focused, with little in the way of feature
  articles. The most interesting read this time is the interview with JCH/
  Vibrants, a real insightful piece and a lot better than the other two
  interviews featured this time (Cyborg, sysop of 'DREAM PARK', and
  Kingfisher/Triad) which are much more standard in both their questions and
  their answers. This is a fair issue, with good handiwork but lacks long-
  term appeal. The intro is just a b&w picture and a scroller. [glenn]

  Domination #3 (1995, Diskmag).

  Domination #4 (1995, .06, Diskmag).

  Domination #5 (1995, Diskmag).

  Domination #6 (1996, .01, Diskmag).

  Domination #16 (2001, .12, Diskmag).
  info: Single-sided issue.

  Domination #17 (2002, 25.11, Diskmag).
  INT - Dane/Crest, Iopop, Twofloweer.
  MAG - code: Doomed/Padua, Hogoo/Padua (irq loader), MMS/Taboo (packer),
        gfx: Sander/Focus (graphics, font), music: Dane/Crest, DJB/Onslaught
        /BM and Agemixer/Skalaria, Orcan/React, Intensity/Onslaught/COS, S.
        Town Boy/MSL, Trident/Active, Gerard Hultink, Merman/People of
        Liberty/ROLE, editors: Jazzcat/Onslaught (main), Raver/Phantasy/DCS,
        Dane/Crest.
  review: After opening with a stylish and unusual intro, Domination - the
  mag with the best outfit in the scene right now IMHO - lets you get down
  to one of the best scenemag reads in recent history. Among the editorial
  gems presented this time is interviews with Hi-Lite/Padua, Iopop/Triad,
  Phase1/Dekadence/Creators (though it contains the errorful information
  that he hails from Poland, when in fact he is finnish), reports from Phat
  2 and North Party V7.0. In addition comes a whole host of other, various
  articles. Simply one of the best diskmags since... well, since the last
  issue :) While the intro itself flashes three names onscreen - Dane,
  Iopop, Twoflower - the mag lists Dane as the sole contributor of the
  intro. Some wires must have gotten crossed here ;)
    The exclusive music this time is, in order of appearance; "Politik &
  Science" by Dane/Crest, "Call of Ktulu" by DJB/Onslaught/BM and Agemixer/
  Skalaria, "Breakpoint" by Orcan/React, "Open Your Eyes" by Intensity/
  Onslaught/COS, "Nervous Breakdown" by S. Town Boy/MSL, "Domination" by
  Trident/Active, "The Waves of Rythm" by Orcan/React, "Chaotic" by Gerhard
  Hultink, "Pessimism" by Merman/People of Liberty/ROLE and finally

Dominators are a mainly Danish demo and cracking group with a rich history.
Their cracker Dogfriend has since made it big in the pc cracking scene with
his group Class.
  1987 - in november danes Parsec (Dennis Fantoni, code), Spirit (Tom
Iversen, code), Cosmo and Pinky (code) all left the group to form Danish
Demo Design (3D), a group which never released anything. It appears Cosmo
later returned to The Dominators.
  1988 - They were reinforced with the entire group Wizax in november.
  1989 - They coarranged a party in Randers, Denmark in december with
Trilogy and Upfront. Nemesis (crack) left for Talent, and thus became part
of the newly born Ikari and Talent cooperation, in december.
  1990 - Early in the year, Stanz left the group, since he knew there were
plans to kick him. He first joined Rizing but soon moved on to his old group
Zeropage. Macro-Nit left the group due to problems with Dogfriend early in
the year. Sex'n'Crime #21 [12/90] reported that after Macro-Nit rejoined the
group from Nato, and Dogfriend left since he and Macro-Nit are on unfriendly
terms. He would return to the group early the following year.
  1991 - The early part of the year saw recruitment of Danish cracker Duke
from Ikari+Talent, Icecube kicked, and the reappearance of cracker
Dogfriend! Dutch graphician TTT/Actual Trading Generation also joined this
year, under his new handle Grizzly Adams. In december several key members
left the group to form Deadline, they were Derbyshire Ram (crack), NME
(crack, old handle Jade, 06/90-02/91), Rebel (crack, 05-06/90) and Icecube.
  1992 - Danish Macro-Nit was kicked a short while after the release of
Corruption #11, and will move to the pc scene from now on. Deff/Enigma
joined around february, taking over some of Jack Daniels' contacts and also
joining the Corruption staff as a second main editor. Danish swapper Bishop
first appeared on the memberlist in march. In american news, Narcissus
renamed back to Slayer and Mutant-X joined from importing partner Avatar
when that group died in march. Also in march, Duke was arrested by the
police, and charged with fraud. All his computer equipment and his disks
were confiscated. It is believed his career in DOM ended here.
  1993 - Danish Duke left the group to form Gridpoint with his brother
Dr.Zivago. Twist (02/92-) joined Trance, while Janec decided to take a break
in may. Finnish cracker Rockstar left for Talent around june. Idol joined
Pandora in july. Dishy (supply, ex Chromance) left for Fairlight in august.
The whole group finally died around august or september 1993, as a result of
a declining ability to produce cracks. Almost 1/3rd of the group's members
joined the army around this time, and most of the remaining members formed
Dominators on the pc. Danish sysop Tricket ('DOMINIC', 91-) took his board
and joined Visual Reality, although he is also in Dominators on the pc.

  Christmas Party (1989, late, Intro).
  code: Mitch, gfx: Fox/Upfront, music: Klaus Grøngaard.
  review: This invitation intro is basic but still cool, most helped by the
  cool graphics from Fox. The rest of it is just a sprite multiplexer in all
  borders, very cool, and a scroller detailing the party. Nice. [glenn]

  Coruption #11 (1991, Diskmag).
  info: The news item regarding Hysteric's member Mr.President was a
  misunderstanding; he is still in the group.

  Corruption #12 (1992, .03, Diskmag).
  code: Mick, gfx: Fox, music: JCH/independent, editors: Jack Daniels
  (main), Deff (main).
  review: This mag appealed a lot to me, both visually and audially. After a
  pretty standard intro, the main article selection and reading part has a
  good, colorful logo and a readable font, making for a pleasant reading
  experience.
    As for the editorial content, the mag is well-written, by editors with
  an eye for detail - this shows especially in the very long news-section,
  which is written in a compact yet informative way. However the news in
  this issue spans a very long time, some of it detailing events that took
  place as far back as december of last year. The english is not always
  spot-on, but I've also seen far worse. The articles are split into the
  following sections; Editorial, News'n'Rumours, Charts, Video Reviews
  (why???), The Duel (the diskmag equivalent of hatefilled notefiles),
  Champions, Reports (party reports from the DOM-SCS party and The Party
  91), Amiga Corner, Mish Mash, Boards of Boards (bbs news), Face to Face
  (interviews) and finally Advertisements. Most articles concentrate on the
  illegal side of the scene. News that Bonzai had died can not be said to
  have been accurate. Coder Mick and Fox are NOT featured on the memberlist
  inside... [glenn]

  Royal Touch (1992, Multifile Demo, 539 blocks).
  code: Pavarotti, Whizz, Smidas, gfx: Grizzly Adams, Whizz, music: Johannes
  Bjerregaard/independent, Charles Deenen/Maniacs of Noise, Jeroen Tel/
  Maniacs of Noise.
  review: The dutch division of Dominators delivers a pretty good demo here,
  featuring most of all some good graphics work. None of the code is
  revolutionary, but they do display a certain sense of design, and the
  color-cycling scroller was nice and original. They don't seem to feel so
  much bound by the normal design 'rules', and does things their own way.
  Something that is a little sad is that all those little files on the disk
  are NOT extra parts, they are 1-page graphical jokes for the endpart,
  which comes way too quickly. I feel they could easily have done away with
  most of these in favour of some more real parts, but...
    The disk also contains an own-coded note which doesn't really serve any
  other purpose than filling up the disk, since it contains no new
  information that we can see... Text in the note does lead me to believe
  that this is a sort of 'farewell scene' production from the producers.
  It was probably NOT released at a party, no text indicates this. Exact
  release date unknown. [glenn]

  Gunnar-2: Galne Gunnar (1992, 25.07, Demo).
  code/gfx: Creeper, Metal Maniac, music: n/a.
  Winner of the Assembly 92 demo competition!
  review: I must confess I was mildly disappointed with this winner demo
  from Assembly; it doesn't really contain much that says 'winner' at all.
  It's a very average demo, with the main selling point being its inclusion
  of two parts with samples of 'real-life' music (Metallica and Nirvana).
  Owning a sampler does not a democompetition winner make ;) Hehe... But
  ofcourse the facts speak for themselves, and this demo DID win the
  competition, so... Just don't expect anything mindblasting. No credit is
  given for the non-sampled music used in the demo. [glenn]

  Leifi! (2002, 03.08, Demo).
  code: Metal Maniac, gfx: Cupid/Padua (logo), music: "Rambo" by Martin
  Galway.

---------------------------
HOL> MC (Marco, music, 87), OPM (Oscar, code, 87).

The Dutch USA-Team wrote one of the very first widespread music editors,
called the 'Rockmonitor', during 1987. In the release of Rockmonitor IV
(the final version, they said) they announced they were leaving the C64 for
the Amiga, after being on the scene since 1984!


Dynamic Duo, The (DD, 1985-1988)
--------------------------------
The Dynamic Duo was a group made up of two friends from Holzwickede near
Dortmund, Germany. The two guys were Hans-Jürgen Grahl (org gfx spreading,
hereafter HJG) and Robin Wunderlich (code crack, hereafter RW). The group
was formed in 1985, and was one of the best and most active groups in 1986
with lots of releases like Ghosts 'n'Goblins, Green Beret, Super Cycle,
Alley Cat, 10th Frame, ... The two friends originally had no contacts, and
all their spreading was handled by Headbanger (Georg Panagiatidis) from
Dinslaken, Germany and his two copy-slaves Krabat and Syntax 2001, who did
most of his work for him! =] The group finally disbanded in 1988, and RW
went on to cracking on the amiga, under Quartex. I am not 100% sure, but
chances are he was known under the handle "Rob" there in 1989... The two
also wrote the game "Thunderboy" for Rainbow Arts on the amiga. Some time
after this HJG founded the software import and reseller firm "Dynatex"
(DYNAmic Duo/quarTEX - no joke! - http://www.dynatex.de), which he
eventually sold to another company in february of 2000. Sadly, HJG had a car
accident later in the year, leaving him in a comatose state which he will
likely never wake from :(
  This entry was only possible due to a kind soul who sent me text
originally done by MWS/Radwar, and the above was based on this.
