                            LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

  Hi  Mate!  I  just  found  it  strange  when  I  read about that Lord van
  Grafenreuth  sucker  talking  bullshit.  He said in the "High Score" show
  during the discussion (referring to ILLEGAL Issue #34) the following:

  -"The changing, destroying, and supressing of any datas of a programme is
  punishable!"

  Now,  I'm  just  wondering  what  is  with  official  computer  magazines
  publishing  "POKEs"  to train games for unlimited lives, disabling sprite
  collisions  etc... According to Grafenreuth this would mean that computer
  magazines  are  supporting  the  so-called  "changing  of datas" or what?
  Pretty stupid what this idiot is saying, isn't it?
                                                           MOC of MANTRONIX

  Answer: You've got a very good point there MOC. I will tell MWS of RADWAR
  to  ask  Grafenreuth  about  this  next  time when they have a discussion
  again.
                                                                         JS
                         NEWS FROM THE INNER SECTION

  They  do  exist!  Well here they are, packed together by the one and only
  drunken JEFF SMART! The latest news from the Inner Section.

   * Top  news  are coming from Great Britain (as usual) where NIK and JUST
     ICE  of  living legend IKARI declared at their fab party that they are
     going to drop the work on the C64 mostly! Geez, for what? They want to
     concentrate more on Amiga, of course! What a loss!
   * Aha,  WEETIBIX,  former master cracker of fame SCG returns! But, guess
     what  (nah  -  not  again!) only on Amiga, to kick ORACLE's ass. Humm,
     Britain's Amiga scene getting more interesting at last.
   * Damn,  Mr.ZEROPAGE  almost finished doing the impossible! He was about
     to   release   Dragon's  Lair  (yes,  the  damned  six-pack...  err...
     six-disk Amiga game) when he got a phonecall from Readysoft! They told
     him  that  he  would get into the greatest difficulties if he releases
     the game. Though he wondered how they got to know RED SECTOR was going
     to crack it, he had to stop now. SHIT!
   * THE  DOUGHNUTS  stayed very quiet the last month, after NOSAH went off
     to  the  Falklands.  However TRI-DOS is still alive doing some cracks,
     together  with  some  promising  guy  called  YATTERING (whatever THAT
     means!?), who showed some talent.
   * Aha!  $$$  rulez  the  world!  GOLLUM  and  THE SARGE of old star team
     FAIRLIGHT  presented  their  new game that is probably called RUBICON,
     featuring  close similarities to Hawkeye, but it seems to be ace! They
     still  search  for  a  company,  but you can yet wonder who's going to
     crack it!?
   * Though  ELITE  seems to be very quiet recently, 711 seems to take over
     the  German  business.  Fast originals and a talented cracker (MR.LEE)
     made  them also appear for the first time in the cracker charts in the
     fifth spot.
   * Austrian COSMOS were claiming to be releasing the shortest versions of
     the games they crack. Just some examples: Schwuppdi by COSMOS took 151
     blocks,  and  X-RAY's  version  had  93!  Eliminator by AGILE took 100
     blocks while COSMOS' had some 131 blocks! AHA!
   * Well  it  seems  as  if that GENESIS*PROJECT/FIRE EAGLE cooperation is
     dead.  Not that big of a deal, as they were lame enough to release tht
     Motor Massacre equivalent to Road Raider we talked about last time.
   * Some  new  light  appears  on Amiga: BLACK MONKS gave a lot of other a
     series  of  kicks  with  excellent releases of R-Type and The Kristal.
     Gosh!
   * How  good  people can crack was proved by MIRACLE (the No.1 in Denmark
     as they say). They did The Deep in one single part. Some problems only
     appear  when  you  finish  the  first level and the next one has to be
     loaded. MIRACLE rather seems to be the new "STEVEs of ZENITH"!
   * More  strange  releases came from another Danish group called KEFRENS,
     who  brought us Lords of the Rising Sun, but you surely found out that
     this  was  only  a  preview.  I  mean  it'd  have been all OK, if they
     mentioned that fact in their intro. But they did not! Strange indeed!
   * Also  take  The Deep (Amiga) from Dutch BORN TO WIN: Not only that you
     have  to  take  some  special nibble copy to get a working copy of the
     game, it additionally crashes after level 1. PACO, where did you go?
   * I was an idiot enough (who said: "nothing new JEFF?") to make everyone
     believe  that  CRAZY  would have a party a day before the IKARI/ZARGON
     party.  Fucking  bullshit  that  is! It's actually on April 22-23rd in
     Switzerland. So sorry!
   * How  lucky those MANIACS OF NOISE are! Not only are they doing most of
     the  soundtracks  of  every  game, Nah... Now they also got a contract
     with  no  one less than Activision (not all exclusively of course) The
     first  MON  music for Activision will be featured in HotRod (coming in
     approx. 2 months).
   * News  from  Digital  Marketing:  After  their Cop Shocker they are now
     releasing a comfortable music-editor that not only features a separate
     sound-fx  editor, but also an easy to handle window-interface. And the
     best  thing  about  this  is  that every user has his own copyright on
     every music tracks he makes!
   * HOTLINE  is  going to install a 24 hrs European board. RICO of HOTLINE
     will be running it.
   * WORLD  OF  WONDERS seems to take over most of the boards in the States
     and also trying to convince some guys from VISION FACTORY to crack for
     WOW  in  exchange for a 9600 bps modem. Huh? THE CHAMELEON (ex-cracker
     of ORACLE) now cracks for WOW.
   * Not  surprisingly,  RED  SECTOR  turns  out  not  to  neglect  the C64
     business.  The  crack  of Code Masters' Advanced Pinball Simulator not
     only  offered  a  high  score save option (I wish that would happen on
     Amiga  games),  but  their  very  talented  cracker  MR.PRESIDENT even
     removed  a  lot  of  bugs from the original. Another quality group, at
     least!
   * ELITE  announced to be adding two new titles to the Elite pre-released
     games  series  soon.  That will be Bubble Bobble and Tyger Tyger, both
     from Firebird. So we can conclude they haven't died yet.
   * Poor  T'KAY!  Last  month  he  was caught by the coppers for the third
     time!  His  mum  must have got a heart-attack! Luckily, apart from the
     loss of many disks, not much was done to him.
   * Last  but not least I got the news that NATO expanded a bit! GRECO and
     YAZZ  (ex-ZENOBITS)  now  belong  to  NATO  as  well  as  (believe it)
     thrown-out-of-BROS, MAGIC CIRCLE. Huh?

  Thus  ends  the  monthly  supply  of shocking events... Many thanx to the
  following  dudes  for  letting  me  share  their  "secrets":  IRATA/TRSI,
  SLH/HTL,  LEE/ORACLE, CD/MON, GRECO/NATO, CRAZY, T'KAY, Digital Marketing
  and all the others... Next month, same place!
                                                                         JS

                       IGUANA NOW FROM THE FALKLANDS?

  Aha, who said that this NOSAH (editor of fab DCS mag "IGUANA") who had to
  go for 5 months to the Falkland Islands, would never return??? GAWD! He's
  still  active.  As  I  got  to  know directly from him, he is planning to
  release  the new issue of "IGUANA" from the Falklands! He found some mate
  who  has  a computer down there, and NOSAH slowly began to put everything
  together  again... That sounds so interesting, I can't wait for it! GO ON
  Dave!

                        TACTICS OF THE GERMAN POLICE

  Unfortunately  the  German  police  is  quite  infamous  for their raids,
  probably  because  the  German  law  is  directed  against  any misuse of
  copyright. Well, the biggest problem is that they are collecting any kind
  of adresses; PLKs or P.O. Boxes. For them, finding one's adress somewhere
  is  evidence  that this poor one is connected to the pirate circuit! They
  do  not  check whether this is true or not, they just break in your door,
  take  everything  they think is important (in good cases just some disks,
  in  bad cases: everything, and that includes not only computers, but also
  TV sets!).

  And  here starts the shit, because if they once took your stuff away, the
  chances  of  getting it back are equal to zero. You are invited to a nice
  examination at the police office where they not only ask silly questions,
  but  also  confront  you with hundreds of adresses where you have to give
  comments (here they check the adresses they get), but naturally you don't
  have  to. In rare cases you get the chance to tell them the tale that you
  are  some unlucky programmer, and they might give your stuff back. How to
  help  out?  Get  them  before  they get you! Next issue will feature some
  tips!
                                                                         JS

                           INTERVIEW OF THE MONTH:
   "THE LAST OF THE FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL CRACKERS" SLEDGEHAMMER OF HOTLINE

  Though  Holland  never  had  such  a  big importance on the international
  marketplace as eg. England or Germany have, it brought up one of the most
  famous  cracker  groups  ever;  HOTLINE.  Their founder and main cracker;
  SLEDGEHAMMER/HTL was interviewed in this issue.

   * Let's  start  talking about your own person a little bit. When did you
     decide to take the first step into this world?
     Well, I was born on 22-10-65, so you can guess my age.
   * What was the reason for you to start cracking?
     The  reason  is that in Holland there is hardly no new software in the
     shops.  Just  about 1% of all the software released in a whole year is
     also  released  in Holland. So it's not a fucking lot! And we had good
     original  suppliers  in England. And when you get an original on tape,
     you  like  to  have  it  on  disk,  right?  So that's how the cracking
     started.
   * What was the first game that you ever cracked?
     Fuck,  that's a long time ago... It was Donkey Kong by Ocean somewhere
     in October or November of '86.
   * What was the toughest protection you ever worked on?
     Defender  of the Crown from Cinemaware, but I just tried it for fun. I
     can't  think  of  any  real  hard  protections  from European software
     houses.
   * What do you think, what was the most famous releases of your group?
     I  don't  know,  probably our pre-releases like Double Dragon, Gaplus,
     Alloyrun etc...
   * In which groups have you been?
     I've only been in my own group, yup only in HOTLINE.
   * Who do you regard as the best crackers (C64 and Amiga)?
     On Amiga I reckon WORLD OF WONDERS is pretty good, but I'm not very up
     to date on the Amiga scene. On C64 I think TRI-DOS of DCS (even though
     he is a bit bigheaded) and ELITE are doing a nice job these days.
   * What are you doing nowadays?
     At  the  moment  I'm  working  40 hour shifts, and I'm learning how to
     crack on the Atari ST.
   * How do you see the whole pirate scene (C64/Amiga)?
     I got to say that it changed a lot due to the modem business. And then
     the fact that we and FAC started this mess. But I prefer it the way it
     wasabout 1.5 years ago. At least I know how to enjoy a game.
   * What are your faborite...
     Games: Super Hang-On, Space Harrier and Zak McKracken (all on the ST)
     Demos:  I haven't seen many demos lately, but I like the ones by SCOOP
     and ASH & DAVE
     Movies: Red Heat, A Fish called Wanda
     Music: Public Enemy, Run DMC, Two Live Crew etc.
     TV series: The Young Ones and Alf
   * What do your future plans look like?
     Like a dark tunnel, where I've not been able to find the light yet.
   * How do you think the future of HOTLINE will be like?
     We  just  keep on cracking most of the stuff that is released and also
     now  and  then  a  pre-release. And we continue our quest until the 64
     software river dries up...

             UP FROM THE FALKLANDS - NOSAH OF IGUANA INTERVIEWED

   * You  are  pretty  well  known  on the circuit now through your work on
     IGUANA,  but how long have you been on the circuit?
     I  bought  my  C64 in '83, and six repairs later I'm still here. I got
     onto  the  "Second User Network" almost immediately. Although in those
     days  it was very small. Cracks were a lot different too. No intros at
     all.  To  find out who cracked the game you listed the prg and usually
     besides  the  SYS  call  was the cracker's name. That was it! Anyway I
     started  trading  a  lot  and  eventually  became  one  of the biggest
     swappers  in  UK,  with  about 50 contacts, and I used to pay a weekly
     visit to a local computershop and hand out freebies to all the lamers.
     Well in February 1988 STEVE of ZENITH asked me if I wanted to join the
     group  because they wanted a good spreader, and I said yes. For a time
     things were good in ZENITH, but then they began to go sour, so I left.
     Within one day of leaving ZENITH, MR.SULU asked me if I wanted to join
     DCS, so I did.
   * Do you regret your time with ZENITH?
     No  way,  they  were  a fucking good group. STEVE was so fast with the
     originals.  Plus it was in ZENITH that I first suggested doing IGUANA,
     this  was  after  seeing  ILLEGAL.  I  thought that there was room for
     another magazine so I talked it over with the guys. At first they said
     no,  because they thought I would be accused of copying ILLEGAL, which
     in  reality  is what we were doing, but eventually they said yes. XEN,
     VEN and myself became co-editors, and in August '88 IGUANA was born!!
   * How difficult did you find it in setting up a magazine?
     Shit  JEFF,  you  should  know this one! It is just so fucking hard to
     begin  with.  You  start  with nothing and must produce an interesting
     mag.  The  main  problem  is getting people interested enough to start
     sending articles to you. This took a long time to happen. For instance
     I  was  begging  for  covers  and a resident artist, I now have enough
     covers  to  last me months, and I have a resident artist, with further
     offers almost every week.
   * Do you have any enemies?
     No,  none. I hate the way that groups spend so much time and effort on
     warring...  Pointless! STEVE of ZENITH seems to think I have something
     against  him.  This is coz of a few bits that have appeared in IGUANA,
     but  they  are  just  a  bit  of fun. No offence is ever meant by what
     appears in the mag.
   * Finally, tell us a bit about yourself.
     OK,  well  I am soo old... 29! And I am married to the lovely Linda! I
     also  have  two  children.  I am a technician by trade. I love videos,
     can't  get  enough  new  films. My taste in music is a bit dated: Alan
     Parsons  Project, Camel, Genesis etc... Absolutely NO ACID! Sportswise
     I am a bit of a fitness freak: I run marathons (Yeuch! -ed) and I also
     compete  in triathlons (swimming, biking and running -ed). Swimming is
     also one of my favorites.
   * OK,  NOSAH  boy,  thanx  for  chattin'...  Do you want to add anything
     before we finish?
     Yes,  JEFF,  I have a question for YOU: -"How the fuck do you make all
     those sound effects on your Radio Show?". I mean there is only so much
     you  can  subject  your balls to. Do you put your balls in a mangle or
     what?!? Tell us! (huh? -ed)

  Well,  I think we better finish here or what. I tell you when you come we
  are gonna gave the long awaited beer and Korn, right?
                                                                         JS
                            PROGRAMMER INTERVIEWS

  Interviews  with  one  of  these guys below appeared in several so-called
  pirate  magazines,  but  here they both are: THE KATAKIS INVENTORSMANFRED
  TRENZ & ANDREAS ESCHER

   * How did you get into the serious programming circuit?
     MT:  I was contacted by Rainbow Arts after I took part in some graphic
     competition (64er). They offered me to work as a graphician, but I was
     also coding with ML a lot, so it didn't stay just with doing graphics.
     AE:  I  know  Manfred for a very long time, and I always liked to draw
     graphics,  so  one  day  we got the idea of making a game together. At
     that  time  Manni  was already working for Rainbow Arts, so I followed
     him  in  February  '88 after I finished my apprenticeship as an office
     machines mechanic.
   * How did you get the idea of doing KATAKIS then?
     MT:  One  saw  the  brilliant  arcade  games, one saw the bad computer
     games, one thought to change that!
     AE: It took us over six months to finish Katakis as a whole.
   * How do you like working for Rainbow Arts?
     MT:  The  bad  thing  is  that  you  are surrounded by a lot of stupid
     people...
     AE: And the motivation is equal to zero.
   * But I guess you got quite a good payment for Katakis?
     AE:  Nah,  not really. Up to now it wasn't worth the work, but that is
     not due to the crackers.
   * Do  you know about the people who cracked Katakis, and how do you feel
     about that?
     AE:  Yes,  I remember seeing a BEASTIE BOYS crack of it. Well I'd like
     to meet the guys (but I don't tell you what I would do with them).
     MT: I remember three versions... I'll find THE BRAINS from Saarbrucken
     and  destroy  them.  To  BEASTIE  BOYS:  I don't have anything against
     seeing  a  game  well  cracked.  And  I  remember some one sided TRIAD
     version that was very well done. They must have a good packer.
   * What do you think about people cracking games in general?
     AE: I don't like it too much if they crack our own games (if the games
     are  good),  because  we try to make the games as good as possible, so
     that  the  real customers are satisfied. And I think that is the least
     we have to do, because of the price and of the big advertisements.
   * Do you have pirate software at home?
     MT: I sure have, but I also have Cop Shocker (as it should be).
     AE:  Me  too.  And  I  also  have  Cop  Shocker (cops: we have to stay
     outside)
   * Let's start talking about yourselves. When were you born?
     MT: I was born on November 29th, '65
     AE: And I was born on January 23rd, '66 so now you can guess how old I
     am (if not: PRINT 89-66).
   * What are your favorite...
     AE: Games: Dungeon Master (ST), Hawkeye (C), Katakis (A)
     Demos: All kinds of demos
     Movies: Aliens, Star Wars I
     Music: Magnum, a little bit Acid, Italo Disco, Gary Moore, Iron
     Maiden, well almost everything

                  IKARI/ZARGON PARTY IN SLAGELSE, DENMARK!

  COPYPARTIES  ARE SIMPLY THE INTERNATIONAL GATHERINGS FOR THE CREWS TO GET
  TOGETHER!  Aha!  The  first ultimate meeting of 1989 was supposed to take
  place  at  Slagelse,  Denmark.  Organized  by  IKARI  and ZARGON... Well,
  again... ILLEGAL ON TOUR!

  AVH/RADWAR  whose  car  was the one taken (an old Ford Fiesta), CONAN and
  GENERAL ZOFF (former SF/MOVERS) plus myself made up the gang that took up
  the  way  to DK! After 8 hours car driving (AVH and me, ugh!) and 2 hours
  of  ferry we reached it. Some big school, and it was a bit similar to the
  old  VENLO place from the outside. Anyway, a very good place for a party,
  from  the inside. IKARI had the elite position on a pit above the others.
  A  lot  of  guys  were  sleeping in the basement (not really long after I
  arrived), others rested on the floors.

  After  I  greeted  my buddies from IKARI, FAIRLIGHT, COSMOS, RADWAR, 711,
  TRIANGLE, and after waking up X-RAY, I just walked around and god already
  pretty  drunk after some cherry by CHRIS/X-RAY (ein Schweine Zeug!), that
  meant  I  needed some sleep whichh I didn'tt findd, well I don'tt reallyy
  know  why  bit I couldn't sleeeepp... The hours went past, and I got some
  stuff  on  the  C64  (from IKARO, X-RAD and FOURLIGHT) and Amiga (TRILOGY
  etc).

  My  buddy  STRIDER arrived! Yo that was the start of the drinking orgy!!!
  Well  BLACK  SHADOW joined our party and after STRIDER brought along some
  bottles  of  some STRONG TUBORG BEER, after CHRIS/X-RAY and me drank half
  of  the whole bottle/s together, and after each of us bought 8 bottles of
  normal TUBORG (for 64 DKK - hoh!). I seemed to have a lack of memory...

  Well,  I try to tell you what I was told the other day... Humm... First I
  vomited  on some sleeping bag (coincidentally one of X-RAY's), then I was
  spending  three  mysterious  hours  on the women's toilet (huh?) and then
  climbing into some sleepingbag in some quiet room... Well, the next day I
  had  some  bad  headache (don't know why!?). I had also fun when JUST ICE
  and  NIK  left  me standing in the rain (they ran - I could not!) when we
  were buying some food at a gas station. Shit!

  However,  I  have  to make IKARI and ZARGON a big compliment for the good
  organization  of  the  party. That really made the shame of the last year
  (UPFRONT-DOMINATORS-DANISH GOLD-JEWELS "party") disappear in history. Yet
  the most difficult part had to come as I had to drive five (!) hours with
  the car. Darn, anyway I'm still living... Alive and drinking!
                                                                         JS
                  PARTYREPORT FROM IKARI/ZARGON IN DENMARK!

  Thursday, March 23rd, we from X-RAY came together to set off to SLAGELSE,
  a  rather  small  town  about 100 km away from Copenhagen. The train-ride
  will surely stay on our minds forever: the train was very clean and new -
  except  for  our  compartment  (after  the  ride  -  of course). We had a
  waterproof  text-marker  which  was used to mark on all the pillows lying
  around  in our compartment and of course we changed the compartment after
  a  while.. hehe.. We broke off the ashtrays and some curtains. We were in
  the  mood  for  funny  action - one of our members was taken up, his shoe
  laces  were  bound  together, and he was hung over the light switch which
  was over the door!

  That was real fun, 'cuz it took him quite a while to get down. We arrived
  at  Slagelse  finally,  and  it was pretty funny 'cuz we were carrying 10
  bags  with  us  (computers,  TV sets, disk drives...) and it looked as if
  we're carrying things for 10 guys, but we were only four!

  The  first  guys we met were the guys from DOMINATORS (they hate us!) who
  showed  us  some  real  strange  way to the place. ("DOM X X-RAY off road
  racing" - hehe) When we came to the party place we saw guys like JUST ICE
  +  NIK of IKARI (two very cool dudes), the Danish house of IKARI, CHANNEL
  42,  ONLINE,  COSMOS  (hey  ANTITRACK - COOL SHOES!), TRIANGLE (tall guy,
  Stretch - huh!), and a lot of other friends. We found some space where we
  could  put  our computers on (the room was already overcrowded), but they
  didn't work...

  Bad  luck  - as we usually wanted to do a part for the demo compo - which
  was  the best I've ever seen (the IKARI and CHANNEL 42 contributions were
  the  best,  and  UPFRONT  didn't  finish their part). After spreading our
  party  stuff,  we  finally fell asleep at 3 o'clock in the morning in the
  basement  (cold  as  hell!).  In  the  morning  we  were woken up by some
  dickhead, err... JEFF SMART shouting around that the police was there! He
  was  only jokin' of course, but a lot of cool guys also arrived, eg. "THE
  LIVING LEGEND" of FAIRLIGHT and TRANSCOMMUNISTS...

  Then the best part of the party came, when JEFFUS and me started to drink
  my  self-burned  liquid  (78%),  and  JEFFUS puked directly on one of our
  member's  sleeping  bag (good shot!). Then he was puking THREE TIMES IN A
  ROW  (!) in the women's toilet (huh? -eh). We thought he had been flushed
  down.

  After  he  slept  we  had some conferences, and some guy from STARION was
  taken  by  the doctor (meningitis!). Some hours later, after getting some
  sleep, we left the place around five (on Saturday), and travelled through
  the  city  up to 11 when the train took us home (it took me over 30 hours
  to get back to Austria!).

  Anyway, thanx for a great party ZARGON + IKARI (NIK, MR.GL61000? hah!)! I
  just  want  to  send  some  hellos  to: NIK, JUST ICE, EXCELL & FLETCH of
  IKARI,  ELITE (NIC!), 711 (WALTER) - "Puke Champ" SMART and Wiederschwein
  (pornstar)  -  ROOZE  -  JCH and SCORPIO of C42 - FALCO/20CC and HARVELL.

                                                         THE FLEET of X-RAY

                            ALL STAR PUKE CHAMPS!

  1. JEFF SMART (March 23rd '89; Denmark IK/ZG party)
  2. TRI-DOS (December 17th '88; Germany RWE party II)

                            BITE INTO THE CE-BIT!

  The  CE-BIT '89 was thoguht to be the equivalent of the PCS. Well, it was
  sure  NOT!  You can't compare it really, as most companies concentrate on
  professional  and business software as opposed to entertainment. So aside
  from the Commodore stand there was nothing worth to be visited. The price
  for  entrance  was  a  total  rip-off  (about 15 DM=5 GBP!). So there was
  hardly  to  expect  any  new  stuff,  except new technologies or hardware
  products by several companies. Argh!
                                                                         JS

  Hum, the CE-BIT '89 was pretty funny, but unfortunately there was nothing
  new except for some lame previews from Reline (ReLAME). Quite a few known
  groups  were present though, some of which were: QUARTEX, VISION FACTORY,
  QUADLITE,  BENCOR  BROTHERS (BLUEBEARD), RADWAR, 711, ELITE (SASCHA), WOL
  (OLIVER),  Mario/BWB,  THE  RED  SECTOR  CREW  (MR.CURSOR,  IRATA, SPIKE,
  MR.PRESIDENT, MR.ZEROPAGE, DAG), STARBYTE SOFT, GARFIELD, BROS, TRAITORS,
  DOMINATORS,   FLASH   (!),   ANTITRAX,  BLACK  MONKS,  SPREADPOINT,  ECA,
  KNIGHTHAWKS,  TRISTAR,  HQC...  And  that was it already about the CE-BIT
  '89...
                                    IRATA of RED SECTOR (no risk - no fun!)

                          THE STORY OF SYSTEM FOUR

  Aha,  the  bell  rings.  I  decide  to get up and see who is aiming at my
  nerves...  Well  it's just some postman bringing me an invitation to some
  major  meeting  in some country abroad. Phew, I thought I should be going
  there, talking to the other "A"-divisioneers about how to get this darned
  "critical"  situation  as  the darned red button is still blinking, and I
  feel  worse  with  every  blink.  Geez I can't remember so much from that
  major  meeting  as  there was too many Tuborg around.. Hum, I was shocked
  anyway,  many  boys  (including "A"-divisioneers), seem to settle over to
  the  16th  system. I admit it's attracting me too, but I think I'm strong
  enough to resist (at this point).

  However,  the three weeks of silence are followed by two weeks of heaven!
  Two out of 52, not bad I think. Seems as if I discovered a new secret for
  myself.  Huh,  something  like: "I can't help the way I am!". Sounds very
  good  to  me,  and  GAWD,  it  actually helps me to get away from that...
  That... Ahh, forget it! (You see I got away!)

  There is something else around that has to be discovered , I think, and I
  put  on  my sunglasses, and walk along the street (though it's raining as
  usual).  The good old beer doesn't taste like good beer old beer anymore.
  I  don't  know  why, but perhaps it's because I'm growing up. I take some
  view  back.  I  often wonder WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN? I often want to leave,
  but  then  again  I'm  proud of myself for getting over this long time so
  well.  Well,  its  getting  worse every day. Back to S4, similarities are
  obvious.  However,  I  found  out that not everybody is telling me truth,
  hum, I try to make them believe they fooled me, bug HAH! I know better!

  Try to find the clue - try to find the way to get out of here! WOW, those
  unknown pleasures challenge me again after quite a good time. Dead people
  tell  me  they  are not dead, and that makes me feel slightly better. But
  still... Im waiting for the big wonder, and someting tells me that if it
  doesn't happen in the next two weeks, it will never happen!

  So  check  it  out  pals! Ambitions are low, too. But do you think I give
  up??  NOPE!  Well,  not yet, I think. Taking some good KROMBACHER bottle,
  putting  on  some  good  JOY  DIVISION  record, I finally develop the new
  emergency  plan.  That  red  blinking went on my nerves too long now, now
  it's  up  to me, if I don't take the initiative now, it could be well too
  late, yeah probably!

  Okey, let's see how to arrange it to work perfectly, if there wasn't that
  S4  thing  I'd  surely  have  quit some time ago, but as it's here I feel
  okey. Wondering what will come next. Just like the OCEAN of the sea, just
  like  the  blood  that  runs in me. Someone's knockin' at my door! Is IAN
  coming to take me? NOPE, but four men in white coats ignore my "GENIUS AT
  WORK" sign on the door and come in. Shit... They take their guns... To be
  continued...
                                                                         JS

                          TALES FROM A COMPUTERSHOP

  Hi lads, my name is MURDOCK and I've been working for a very long time at
  a  local  computer  shop.  I  use to repair broken computers, monitors or
  diskdrives,  and also people consult me when they have trouble with their
  computers.  Here  I  present some of the funniest stories (that of course
  really took place and are not invented!);

  TAPEDOWN: Some 14 year old boy entered the computer shop and told me that
  his  tape  recorder  was broken, because he was not loading anything from
  the  tape.  Naturally, he didn't bring along his tape recorder, so I told
  him bring it.
  A  few  hours later he returned with the tape recorder, and after a short
  check  I  found out that the tape recorder was okey. Then I told him that
  this  must  be up to the computer then, and for him to bring his computer
  in.
  On  the  next  day  he  brought  his  computer (C64) along, and you won't
  believe  what  I saw when I switched it on! There was SpeedDos installed!
  Oh  god,  the  boy  didn't  want to believe me that Speed-Dos has no tape
  functions. Well after all I couldn't demand any money, so shit for me!

  OILY DRIVE: Some other boy once showed up with his disk drive and he said
  something  like  -"Ugh,  Mister, I don't know if you could help me but...
  ah..  my  drive  made some strange noises during loading some disks, so I
  thought that was because it needed some oil..."
  I  opened  the  drive  -  and  Jesus Christ! Try to picture it! There was
  nothing  but  oil to be seen inside the drive!! The boy asked -"Ah.. What
  do you think? Can you repair it?"
  Well,  I  told him he could to flush it down the toilet. I also asked him
  to bring the disks which he had some problems with, as I had some certain
  assumption...  Well,  it  was the way I thought , the disks were original
  games  and the roaring from inside was then of course the checking of the
  copy protection. Aargh!

  BROKEN  ORIGINAL:  First  I  have  to  add  that the shop is also selling
  originals,  so it happened that some kid wanted to get the money back for
  some  "shit game that isn't working". Huh, I thought. Well I had to check
  it I told him, and I tried to load it.
  Not  only  that  the disk wasn't looking like an original disk, there was
  nothing  on  it.  I asked him if it could be that he kept the original at
  home,  and  before  I  got an answer I saw him running out of the shop...
  L8R!
                                                                    MURDOCK

                         EQUITANA - HORSE SHOW FUN!

  The  "Equitana"  taking  place  in Essen, Germany is some big horse show.
  Present  was  also  the  CP publication, and they had some computer horse
  game  where  you  have to mount some big plastic horse and ride over some
  course, jumping over obstacles etc. The only problem was that the program
  (C64)  wasn't working. T'KAY (ex-TRIAD+SCG) got a phonecall, asking if he
  could  repair  the  game.  Amazingly the programmer got about 4000 DM for
  just  ripping  off  all  the routines from the old Epyx - Summer Games II
  riding  event. The coder had made some silly mistakes, so it took T'KAY a
  while to get it working. WOW!

                                VIDEO REVIEWS

  Well,  it's  that  time  of  the  month  again with some quite good video
  reviews  for  you  to read. This month we'll have a look at DIE HARD with
  Bruce Willis and INDIANA JONES AND THE HOLY GRAIL starring Harrison Ford.

   * DIE HARD: When a group of armed robbers capture a tower block with the
     intention of stealing 500 million dollars, they hold everyone hostage,
     except  one!  Bruce  Willis  plays the cop they didn't catch, and then
     continues  to  fight  a one man war against the robbers. Rating: Quite
     Good! 75%
   * INDIANA JONES AND THE HOLY GRAIL: This, the third and final chapter of
     the  Indiana  Jones  saga  sees Indy searching for the Holy Grail that
     contains  the blood of Jesus Christ. The original plot was for Indy to
     go in search of Atlantis, but this was changed to the Holy Grail. This
     is the best film of 1989 so far, and the special effects at the end of
     the  film  are  some of the best ever made! Rating: Fucking Brilliant!

   * Though  it  reminds me of Bionic Commando this CRAZY COMBAT is not the
     worst one to play. Some nice action. 71pts.
   * THE  DEEP  is  deep crap on the C64, while you can have a good time on
     the  Amiga  with  the  same game. Bad graphics and even worse sprites.
     God, we aren't in 1983 anymore! 12pts.
   * THE  REAL  GHOSTBUSTERS could have stayed at home. The game comes from
     DATA  EAST  (that  says  all), and is more a bad Alien Syndrome clone.
     19pts.

                             AMIGA GAME REVIEWS

   * TIGER  ROAD  is  not  as  bad  I thought it would be. Better said it's
     pretty well done. The gameplay is good! 78pts.
   * After  SUPER  HANG-ON  one  could  expect  SPACE HARRIER to be of some
     quality,  but  it's somewhat weaker though it's very nicely converted.
     Faaast! 83pts.
   * Hum,  I've  heard  about AFTERBURNER before, wasn't it some ace arcade
     game? Anyway you can't really convert it to any computer I'm afraid...
     59pts.
   * BAAL  is  some  new  Psygnosis game, and it's like the others. Full of
     brilliant   graphics   and  animation,  but  the  gameplay  is  pretty
     senseless. 71pts.
   * Known  under  the name BOB MORAN, this OPERATION NEPTUNE made it's way
     round  on the C64. Well it's a lot better on the Amiga, but still very
     difficult. 69pts.
   * BLASTEROIDS  can  be  seen as Asteroids II and it's not the worst one!
     The  only  point I have to mention that the game is so easy I finished
     the whole game with my first attempt. 75pts.
   * BALLISTIX is a fine combination of pool-billiard, Speedball and Soccer
     with  about  80  different  levels  and  computer opponents. Excellent
     graphics and good sound effects are a real thriller! 87pts.
   * An  amazingly  close  conversion  of the arcade thriller R-TYPE is now
     available  on Amiga. Almost as good as on PC Engine! Apart from little
     programming bugs (due to the crack!?) Brilliant! 93pts.
   * THE  DEEP  is a fine sink'em game. i.e. you have to destroy submarines
     and  other  creatures  moving in the water by releasing pods from your
     ship on the surface. Very nice. 87pts.
   * You  have  to have four empty disks and some time if you want to enjoy
     THE KRISTAL which seems to be a poor rip-off of the old Maniac Mansion
     idea.  Well, anyway it's pretty complex and it features a lot of great
     graphics. 86pts.
   * GRAND  MONSTER  SLAM is one of the funniest games ever to be seen! You
     have  to kick little round monsters (Beloms) over to the opposite side
     while  your  opponent is trying to do the same to you, and the one who
     has  no  Beloms  left on his side is the winner. Subdivided into three
     leagues  the  game  offers  not only great gameplay, but also good fun
     (Duck Kicking) and brilliant graphics! FUCKING ACE! 95pts.

  I'm  sorry  for  cancelling  the announced interview with a Hawkeye (BOYS
  WITHOUT  BRAINS),  and the DR.MILLER section, but they will surely appear
  in  the next issue as I just forgot that I already had this interview and
  there  won't be two of this kind. DR.MILLER appears only every 2nd issue.

  Chart  comments:  Well we decided to call the ILLEGAL chart list from now
  on:  the  BREAKOUT charts! Anyway, IKARI climbed the elite position again
  while  FAIRLIGHT  and  X-RAY  made  a good jump up! 711 with a remarkable
  entry, as well as NATO do appear for the first time in the charts. ELITE,
  DCS and ATC seem to have fallen asleep this month.

  The ultimate new entry in the BREAKOUT Amiga charts was done by new stars
  BLACK  MONKS,  just  beaten  by QUARTEX taking over the top for the first
  time.  RED  SECTOR  and DEFJAM split up, so there are two 7th places from
  the  last  month.  VF/TB had to take a drop, so had ORACLE, ESI (out) and
  THE BAND.
