Abakus (1990-)
--------------
NOR> Circus of Power (new late90), Comico (founder, ex Theatre, new
     late90).

Abakus was formed by Comico/ex Theatre and Circus of Power. At least two
small demos were released; "Unseen" and "Scheisse".


Abandon
-------
GER> Sigma Seven (sysop 'LAST RESORT', 04/92).
???> Crap (code), Pothead (ex Anthrox, new RAW4).

Abandon is a German group, initially active on the demo scene, but also
responsible for a crack or two...

  E.J.I.D. (ecs intro).

 Crackintro (ecs intro).
  code: n/a, gfx: The Sarge/Fairlight (logo), music: Megawatt and The Sound
  Legend.
  review: This cracktro sports a nice logo by The Sarge, as its main asset.
  Apart from that it's not really anything special, just an OK intro, with
  just text and design elements taking up the rest of the screen. Get it for
  the cool logo :) There is no indication as to when it was released.
    The intro does not exit properly, just leaves you with a black screen
  and the need for CTRL-A-A... The intro reviewed was for the 100% fixed
  Quartex version of Kick Off 2 - Return to Europe.

NOR> Andy (code gfx, later Absence, 90), Blackie Lawless, Eclipse (music,
     90), Highlander, Hugo (music, 90), Izzy (gfx, 90), Monzo (code, 90).

Abnormal was originally a Norwegian C64 demo crew, but since several of
their members later emigrated to the Amiga platform a section was created.
It's highly unlikely that the old Abnormal has anything to do with the new.

N-L> Dada (music, 12/94), Earthshaker (Michel Bojawal, music, 12/94),
     Househakker (12/94), Rotox (Rene v.d. Steen, swap).

It is highly unlikely that the old Abnormal has anything to do with this
group.


Abnormalia
----------
ITA> Macno (Alessandro Franchetti, editor, 12/92-95).

Abnormalia is the group dedicated to releasing Abnormalia diskmagazine.
It was Italian writer Macno's new group after leaving Grace and 'Scene
Lyrics'. While writing for his own mag, he is also one of the busiest
contributors to several other leading mags, including having his own
sections (ABNOminio) in RAW8 and ROM4.

  Abnormalia issue #1 (1992, .12, ECS Diskmag).
  editor: Macno.

  Abnormalia issue #2 (1993, Diskmag).

  Abnormalia issue #3.14 (1993, late, Diskmag).

  Abnormalia issue #5 (1995 or pre, Diskmag).
  code: Pitagora, gfx: n/a, music: n/a.


Absence (-1991)
---------------
NOR> Champ, Dma, EC Man (music), Zapper.

Absence was one of the leading demo groups in Norway around 90 and 91.
When the group died, Quest (04/91), Andy (04/91), Monzo, Mr. Man (04/91),
MCS, HeadX and Wizax (03/91) joined Andromeda. Timewalker joined Dual Crew.
  They were reborn almost right away, as a swapper group with Goofy (03/91)
as the only member, but never released a real production again. Other small
productions they made, are a.o. "Ball Scroll" intro, "Bob Plop" intro and "4
Round Color Equalizers" intro.

Norwegian swapper Rob (new 03/91) joined Dexion.

  Meltdown (late 90/early 91, ECS File).
  code: Poltergeist/XLNS, gfx: Quest, music: Mr. Man.
  Cooperation with Excellence (XLNS).

  Reform Pack Intro (1991?, ECS Intro).
  code: Andy, gfx: n/a, music: EC Man.
  info: Probably used for earlier issues too.

 Reform Pack Intro #26 (1991, 11.03, ECS Intro).
  code: Wizax, gfx: Goofy (font), music: Maestro/Kefrens.
  review: This intro is really very simple; there's just a font plotter,
  some moving colors in two lines (top and bottom) and some copper fades in
  the letters to achieve a better look. This was a popular design concept
  around these times. Goofy's 1 bitplane font, the only graphics, is quite
  OK, actually; I also like Maestro's music. Nothing special, but these
  oldschool intros tend to bring a smile to my face nonetheless :)
    This intro was probably used from this issue on, since it says 'Finally
  a new intro!' This intro announces the joining of Rob. The pack is
  maintained by Zapper, Goofy and Quest.

Boards; FATAL CONNEXTION.

Absolute! was formed in late 1992 by the best members of Soc.Brigade (ADT,
Ben...) and Live Act (Asti, Viti...). They're probably best known for their
hungarian graphician Rack and their diskmag 'Sledge Hammer'. There was
actually 9 issues of the mag released in Hungarian before the first English
release! After the last issue of SH had been released, there were some
rumours and loose advertising for a new cooperation mag with Dreamdealers,
called "Cult". Fester would be main editor, and Napoleon from Dreamdealers
would do the code. They also arranged the Hungarian party The Hammering in
1993 and 1994, and tried to coarrange Wildstock '95 with a pc group, but
that party was cancelled. Rack has NEVER been a doublemember of Balance, as
claimed in some mags. A mag released late 95 carried news that Lord and
Fester were now main organizers. Who were before?
  Other small productions ABS has released include "Vector Dreamz" (file),
"Utah Saints Fan Club" (AGA demo), "Party IV Report" and "Cult Special
Partyedit" (2disk AGA diskmag).

Musician Scorpik (new late 95) left the Amiga scene for Pulse on the PC in
  late 1996 (ROM8). Pulse, incidentally, features many talented ex- and
  current Amiga scene celebrities, like f.ex. Lazur. Anyone with a Pentium
  gathering dust would be well advised to check out their productions.
  You might see a name or two you recognize :)
In Hungary, swappers Archibald (Bela Nadas Jr.) and Ben (founder, ex Soc.
  Brigade), coders Asti (08/92) and Viti (ex Live Act), musician T-Bozz
  (04/94) and graphicians Hamlet (ex Alcatraz, old handle Jaby, 93) and
  Hazel (old handle Mace) were kicked out due to communication problems
  (ROM5).
Graphician Skowron joined Funzine late 95.
'PALACE' BBS is not an HQ anymore (late95).
They kicked all their foreign divisions, and are now 100% Hungarian late 93.
Hawk was kicked.
German swapper and trader Star (Sascha Hoeppner) joined from Elysion 93, but
  got kicked and left the scene soon after.
Rackler, Twilight and Doc. Holiday (all ex Wildfire, new early93), Rodney
  (gfx, ex E.M.I, 93), Twice (code) and DSN (gfx, both new 93) all joined
  Lego (PRP4).

  review: Oh yeah! This must certainly be one of the best-designed demos
  ever! It almost seems like they've considered the position of every
  single pixel in the whole demo! The Hungarian graphics genious Rack
  delivers some of his best graphics EVER, and even manages to beat his
  own amazing 'Ray of Hope 2' font with an AMAZINGLY colorful one! I'm
  putting it up for 'font of the year' :) And I haven't even BEGUN
  mentioning the music yet! Guess what? It's an amazingly cool tune!
  It kicks in with a groove and a danceability seldom heard. AMAZING!
    The animation of the race car crashing is from the movie 'Freejack'.

  review: This small crackintro (or so they claim...) is more a piece of
  weird design than a genuine Absolute production, but nevertheless... :)
  It seems like a small friendship production, done just to release
  something for the scene. There is no real stunning artwork here, and the
  whole thing seems pretty quickly thrown together. They mention they are
  all busy writing games, and have just squeezed this little prod in between
  their other projects. They mention that "Cream" will be released at The
  Party 93...guess it got delayed a little, eh? ;)

  all, better music, this could have been something really special. The way
  it is now, that's not the case. Still, get it for the graphics!

  review: Now this is more of an original intro! It features a spinning dot-
  ball in a small window in thr top right corner, a textplotter in the
  bottom left corner, and otherwise an Abuse ascii logo over that. The two
  windows are black with white text/dots, while the rest of the screen is in
  blue. Nicely different.
    Though it is not mentioned in the intro, Ganja was almost certainly a
  doublemember of Nerve Axis at the time. The version reviewed is from  the

  intro requires AGA, though I can't for the life of me see why. The release
  date and name is based on the version string within the intro itself. The

Abyss was formed late 1992 by the best members of Arise and Beyond, and
released their first intro "Intoxication" shortly after, in the beginning
of 1993. In 1994, the entire group Pyrodex joined. Pink was one of them.
  Dexter is the author of the amazing The Highest eXperience (THX,
http://thx.home.ml.org) music system for c64-like chip tunes, and Pink is
the author of some of the best tunes for it :)
  Other small productions Abyss has released are a.o. "Delirial
Desorientation" (packmenu intro), "BBS Intro", "Goagab" (intro, rel some
weeks before the Party 3), "S.M.U.D.O" (demo), "Music for the Lost" (2 disk

German graphician and musician Toxic (Sven Dedek, ex Beyond, early93-08/95)
  left Abyss for his musical career. There were rumors that he was back on
  the scene in the middle of 1996, but these proved to be untrue.
  The Jungle #7 reported that he was a Rebels doublemember in 1994.
German musician and sysop Neurodancer ('AMBUSH', new early93-08/94), left
  due to internal affairs. As a consequence, 'ULTRAWORLD' is now the WHQ
  BBS (04/96). Later Neurodancer joined Looker House (06/96). Neurodancer
  made music for the demo "Drugstore" while in Abyss.
German swapper and packmaker Skindiver (Andreas Schwarz, new early 93-

  from Pink. That's about it folks! The same intro is also used by Pyrodex.

  x 4ch ProTracker format). 16th in The Party 94 demo competition.
  review: The competition at TP94 was stiff, but I still think this
  deserved better than 16th. It's got nice design, good graphics, a nice
  unoffensive synth-poppie tune that's timed perfectly to some of the
  effects... It's not even boring! Tyshdomos' picture "Raped" that appears
  during the Jacko-part, was also entered in the graphics competition at
  The Party, where it came in at a split 10th place. All effects look VERY
  smooth and nice on my 030-50...but I suppose that's only natural when it
  was designed with an 020-14 in mind.
    The demo is split up into two parts, really, separated in the two files.
  The first part is the 'demo' part, while in the second one they poke fun
  at three other wellknown productions. It opens with a digitized animation
  of Pink going to buy a magazine at a big store (Virtual Dreams "242),
  before it's revealed that the magazine is all about Beverly Hills 90210,
  and we're played a rendition of the theme (Melon Dezign "Romantic").
  Then we're shown the credits in a screen design that's very similar to
  the one Sanity employed in SEVERAL of their productions...
    Though originally designed to run from floppy, hard disk installation
  is painless; just copy the two files where you want them and run.
  Couldn't possibly be easier :) Works fine on standard A1200.

  review: The opening is certainly the best part of this demo, with the
  raytraced animation by Pink and the fast texturemapped tunnel ride the
  definitive highlights of the demo. There's a hefty portion of BLOCKY
  goraud shading here that's more embarassing than anything else.
    Pink's music is sometimes good, sometimes average, and there's a couple
  of reasonable fullscreen pictures by Toxic in there. If you check out the
  demo's WorkBench icons, that's one of them in a miniature. Not too bad...
  but I'm not too fond of routines that look THIS blocky! HA will work on
  any AGA Amiga with 2mb chipmem. The end module is "Global Confusion II",
  the module Pink competed with at Doom's Day 94!

  Review: This is a very good intro. The thumping music, the good effects,
  the design... Most importantly, it does not fall into the 'advanced but
  boring' trend that has plagued intros ever since Pygmy Projects'
  "G-Force". There are some good effects here, most of which I'd guess were
  real crowd-pleasers at The Party...unfortunately, I haven't fed the
  results into Scenery yet, so I don't quite know ;) There's some text in
  the intro file, presumably an error code, that says 'buy AGA or run
  SetPatch!', which has me hesitant if this an AGA or ECS intro...
  Therefore, I have refrained from categorizing it.
  Should work on unexpaned A1200's.

  review: The C64 graphics style is as impressive as ever, it's amazing to
  see how close they've come to the C64 look and feel... The music, as
  usual, is first rate. There are 5 tunes here, all conversions of tunes
  done originally for the C64. Coolness doesn't even get close.

  review: The design is probably what set "Blub!" above the other two

  of the three. However, it does have an intro screen and some backgrounds,
  and most of the time that's all it takes :)

  review: The first thing that struck me when I saw the opening of this
  demo was "Arte"! The opening bars of the music, as well as the graphical
  design, leave no doubt that this is indeed a homage to Sanity's classic.
  So, is the demo any good? It's a killer! Though it has excellent,
  advanced routines, it never forgets its true nature as an entertainment
  item. The design, the music, and the weaving together of the demo all
  indicate truly experienced demolitioners. Highly recommended.
  Recommends 030-50 or 040-25.

  review: Abyss' first original THX musicdisk is a goodie. You sort of know
  you're in for something good when the intro picture is a manipulated
  version of the Skate or Die title from the C64... There's some truly
  tasty THX tunes in here, and it's a real coup to have Geir Tjelta do a
  tune. For those of you who did not own a C64 and are therefore ignorant,
  young Mr.Tjelta was an OUTSTANDING C64 musician in his time. His
  greetings list here should be some indication! Strangely, there's no
  graphics credit even though they're certainly nothing to be ashamed of...
    Some text found in the intro strongly indicates a hidden game, but I
  haven't been able to find it yet.

Klub Diznee II - Competition is Gone (1997, .02, AGA Musicfile).
  code: Pink, gfx: Cyclone, music: various (too many to mention).
  review: I didn't honestly believe they could do it, but they've gone and
  done it anyway! They've outdone themselves and easily topped the first
  KD! There's a brand new code, this time by Pink, that's even better than
  the original one, and this time there's a whopping 16 THX tunes for your
  enjoyment, from as many different composers. This means there's more
  variety here than in the original. The graphics are acceptable, being a
  combination of cartoony stuff with an unusual palette and a graffitti
  style. This is pure coolness, so go download it and become a THX addict!
    The tunes in this musicpack are all from the first THX IRC competition,
  held in early 1997. Pink was the winner, followed by Geir Tjelta.

 As Time Goes By (1997, 30.05, AGA Intro).
  code^music: Pink, gfx: Cyclone.
  review: Yes! Another winner by a crew that never ceases to amaze me!
  This small (130k) intro manages to evoke some feelings in an old scener's
  heart... 'remember when there was no c2p?' The special brand of Abyss
  nostalgia - remembering the good times without cloning yourself - seems
  amazingly fresh. Remember that these guys were the people that brought
  SID-quality tunes to the Amiga in the shape of THX! The tune here,
  however, is a more synthpoppy, funky affair. This was NOT released at
  any party, since they're trying to get back to the old times feel.
  Just excellent, right down to the 'partners in crime' text on their
  greetings, making us remember a thousand great cracktros over the years.
    I see no real reason why this should requires AGA, but it was situated
  in demo/aga on AmiNet, so...

Kindergarden '97 Invitation (1997, early to mid, File).
  code^gfx^music: Pink (music in THX format).
  Invitation to the Kindergarden '97 party.
  review: One-man demo-making crew Pink does this invitation intro for a
  small Norwegian Amiga-only party! The intro is nice enough, with a small
  title screen with a fish jumping across it, followed by the presentation
  of the invitation text itself. This seems to be 100% identical to the
  text in the accompanying text file, so I didn't bother to read much of
  it in the selector. It's nice, but not extraordinary. The music is by
  Pink in THX format, so there's obviously nothign wrong with that aspect
  of the intro :) The party was held from 03-06.07, so obviously the intro
  was released sometime before that. Unfortunately it doesn't contain any
  release date that I can see :( I have no idea if this requires AGA.

  Review: We all knew Pink was an excellent musician - but he kinda took me
  by surprise when he proved to be an excellent coder too! This intro was
  made almost entirely by him, except for some graphics by the always-cool
  Cyclone. There's some quite cool effects here, actually. Certainly a lot
  better than expected! The only thing I really didn't like about this is
  the irritatingly hard-to-read effect logos. These are one readable word
  and one that's not. Partikel what? A complete and utter nice surprise -
  I hereby declare Pink the German Laxity. C64 lovers unite!

  review: Another excellent little intro from Abyss that doesn't try to
  be anything it isn't! This one has several THX tunes by Pink - which is
  never a bad thing - a colorful opening logo and a new kind of wireframe
  vector routine. It's not easy to describe, but rather has to be seen and

Ackerlight was a French/Swiss constellation, and one of the first good
cracking groups. They released a cool diskmag (in French only), called
"Akcernews". When they died in 1989, Anome 68000 formed a new Swiss group
called Zenith.Some of the original members, however, formed a software
company under the name Ackerlight Software, and released a.o. the game Wings
of Glory!

This group seems to occupy themselves mainly with the re-release of older,
cracked games in 'ultimate' versions, fixed for the new generation of
Amigas. Their release of Jeff Minter's classic "Llamatron" (02/98) was only
their second release, and they called themselves 'the newest Amiga group
around', so the formation year is a guess based on that.

Addonic was born ca 07/90, as a merger of the two small groups Aquin and

demo group. At least 9 issues of their "Message Center" were released. V-Cut
left his bbs 'ZOOMED REALITY' to a new sysop, Zool, who then joined V-Cut's
previous group Equinox, so the board returned with a new sysop!

  code: Darkcave, gfx: Old Spook (title, font), The Origin (font), Darkcave
  (font), music: Rocky (loader), ??? (main), editors: Darkcave, The Origin.
  review: This is the third Message Center, and another ok release. First of
  all, it loads for a while with an unexciting loadingscreen, before we
  press the left mouse button and is treated to a nice fanfare and an even
  nicer title picture by Old Spook! The 'mag' part itself is not very
  exciting, but that was hardly expected either. This is a messagebox, and
  as such there really isn't that much exciting stuff to read. Apart from
  the messages, there's a handful of adverts, a couple of articles in German
  and finally the group's memberlist. The best part is the title picture.

 Message Center IV (1992, .01, ECS Multifile Messagebox).
  INT - code: Darkcave, gfx: Dragon (font), music: Legend (ProPacker 1.0
        format).
  MAG - code: Darkcave, gfx: Old Spook (loadpic), Dragon & Jam Man (all
        fonts), music: "004" by Zak, editors: Darkcave, The Origin.
  review: Coding is much improved since the last issue, offering a wider
  variety of "articles". Nothing spectacular ofcourse, this is still just a
  messagebox, but at least an improvement on the prior issue. These were
  quite popular once, and this is not one of the worst. The intro is barely
  necessary, though. It's not good, and not bad, if you know what I mean.
  As it's just 22k, it would perhaps have been a better idea to link it in
  front of the mag and have the (not bad) tune as a selectable alternative
  to the one in the mag? The mag itself is not too bad either, though it's
  rather unexciting. The best part, I guess, is the B&W loading picture of
  a viking by Old Spook (later E. Toball/Sanity). Luckily the mag is not all
  messages, since that would have been thorougly boring for today. There's
  one or two things of interest, like the French scene report.
  Conclusion: Not bad, but not terribly interesting either.
    The intro needs KillAGA. The editor does not work at all; seeing as it
  does not open its own screen immediately, KillAGA does not help.
  It doesn't crash, but you can't see what you're doing, so... :(
  The 'mag' itself is a little unstable. Sometimes it works perfectly, some
  times the graphics are garbled and sometimes it crashes when loading.
  Once it has loaded, though, I've never experience problems. Or advice is
  to use KillAGA, for safety's sake. The mag loader does not appear to have
  any problems with running from a harddisk, there's no assigns or anything
  necessary.

                Note: See review for compatibility notes.

 Message Center issue #5 (1992, end.03, ECS Multifile Messagebox).
  INT - code: Darkcave, gfx: Dragon (font), music: Legend.
  MAG - code: Darkcave, gfx: Rufferto and Groo/Independent (title, font),
        Dragon (font), music: Legend, editors: The Origin, Darkcave.
  review: No code has changed since the last issue, except perhaps some
  improved compatibility. The intro is also the same as last time, so no
  surprises there either. The title pic this time is done by the later
  wellknown graphics duo Groo and Rufferto, and is a graffiti style tag.
  So, the box itself then - any interesting reading this time? Well,
  actually there are a few things. With each issue MC does seem to resemble
  a real diskmag more and more... The editors could be doing a better job,
  though... There are adverts for people who are no longer in the group
  (Aqua), and a few other strange things... Like interviewing the Swedish
  musician Dexter/Shining when they themselves have a swedish swapper with
  the exact same handle :=)

Information from mid 92 say Skyfox joined from Amnesia, but only for a

Alcatraz was formed in 1988 by Metalwar (code music), Helix (gfx) and PGCS
(gfx) from the more strangely named Motley Crue Team [no entry]. The first
two have since decided to leave both the group and the scene, leaving PGCS
as the head of the group. Their biggest success must surely have been the
"Odyssey" (12/91) demo, which won the demo competition at the first The
Party! The reason for its success is probably the fact that it was something
new and unique. The debate over whether it should have beaten the runner-up,
"Hardwired" by The Silents and Crionics, raged for months... They were at
one time in a 'trainer coop' with Setrox.
  When most of the Coma members joined, they got the diskmag "McDisk" as an
added bonus. When they stopped doing that, however, a new mag was planned.
This mag was given the name "Compass", and editors were Disney and
ex-McDisk editor Mop. The mag got great reviews, but after just one
released issue Mop left for Essence to be maineditor of "R.O.M" and Disney
left for Sanity to be maineditor on their new mag, which never happened.
  These days, Alcatraz Entertainment Software still exist, but only as a
gamemaking firm, and it's unlikely that any new demos will ever appear.
The remaining members are Quedex, Poseidon, Pigment and Brainbug. I have
seen a short playable demo of a 3D Doom clone type game called IQ, and it
was probably one of the smoothest and bestlooking true 3D engines I've ever
seen; it flows beautifully, and almost reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D!
  Also, check out Hornet's action replay-like utility HRTMon on AmiNet!
  1990 - Swiss trader Moses (who had joined from Setrox 05/90) had a very
brief stay in the group, and by 08/90 he was no longer a member.

German swapper Sting left to form Bonzai Brothers, but later decided to
  join Abyss instead. There are LOTS of conflicting information out there
  about this, but I believe what I've given above now is the correct
  portrayal of what happened. When he lost control over Alcatraz, he left
  to form his own group called Bonzai Brothers, and all the German ex
  Alcatraz members joined!
Norwegian musician Brainbug (06/92-94) joined Talent early 95. He made the
  music for a.o. the "Museum" (92) slideshow while he was in Alcatraz.
  He is still working for the games by Alcatraz Entertainment Software,
  it seems, since he was shown as a member of the games team 01/98.
Austrian coder, previous WHQ and coeditor of the now defunt mag "Compass",
  Disney (06/92-93), joined Sanity to be editor of their new diskmag. That
  project never came to fruition, and Disney was consequently kicked. His
  further destiny is unknown.
Editor Mop (ex Coma, new RAW2, 93) was not content with how things were
  going after the first issue of "Compass", and decided to join Essence in
  february 1994 (PRP4), where he became editor of what is today undoutedly
  the BEST disk magazine ever; 'R.O.M'.
Swedes Parsec (sysop 'MIDNIGHT EXPRESS', 09/93), La Fayette and Thunor were
  kicked. La Fayette is a female, who worked as cosysop on Parsec's board.
Birdie (ex Yodel, new RAW6) was kicked.
Shade (ex The Silents new STD10/Analog new RAW5) joined Scoopex (SLH11).
Colorbird and Schizo joined from Circle in Sweden, but soon moved on to
  form Illusion (RAW6).
Their Finnish section is also dead. Graphician Dwel (ex Gator/Stellar, new
  93) left to join Desire, and Razer (code, ex Addonic, new RAW4) joined
  Stellar 10/93. Finally Goozer (ex Disknet, new RAW4) closed the section
  when he joined Chryseis 10/93.
Two Germans were kicked; swapper Head and coder Mad Butcher (both ex Coma,
  09/92-02/93). Head joined Mirage, but it's unclear what happened to Mad
  Butcher, coder of the 'McDisk' diskmag.
The Germans Link, Dynac, Speedbit (new 03/93), EC-Rider (music, 08/93),
  and Seat were NEVER official Alcatraz members. They  were  simply let in
  by the other German guys and not by the whole group.
Both the German and Swedish divisions were kicked out. The German duo
  Control (ex Coma, new RAW2, 09/92-08/93) and coder Orbit (ex Dual Crew,
  new 03/93-08/93) joined TRSI, the rest of the Germans formed a new crew
  called Fresh. Raw Style (ex DCS, new RAW6), Stearo and Nose (both ex
  Paradise) joined in Germany, but when that division fell apart they all
  left to join Jetset. Swedes Lizardking (music, ex Strange, new late92-
  03/93) and Tony (gfx, ex Voice, new late92-93) joined The Silents (RAW6).
Blacky (ex Legend) tried to join, but was refused. As a result, Style
  (ex-WHQ, ex Legend) left 03/93 to start a two-man crew with Blacky.
  For additional information, see Style & Blacky's entry.
Graphician Tom Copper (ex Coma, 91) joined Animators (RAW5).
The germans Bros (code, 12/92-93), Master and Nightlight (new STD10)
  quickly rejoined Scoopex (RAW5). Bros coded the demo "Crunch-O-Matic"
  (12/92) while he was in Alcatraz.
Jaby joined Absolute! late 92.
Status Quo, Copcom, Nick O'Teen (ex Coma) and Aahz (ex Coma) got kicked
  09/92.
Swiss graphician Fox (04/91-92) left (RAW4). Fox worked on a.o. the
  musicdisks "More than Music" (04/91) and "I've Got the Power" (91).
Norwegian coder, organizer and swapper Micro-Pal (editor of "Peanuts"
  packmag, 06/92) joined Banana Dezign. His borad 'THE WHITE HOUSE' was
  busted while he was a member of ATZ, but was later reopened in BDZ.
French graphician Alex (old handle Aldyss, 09/92), who released some
  pictures in the slideshow 'MUSEUM', left to join The Silents (RAW5).
  Still, he made two logos for the "60k Intro" (03/93), so they're
  obviously still on good terms...
Coder Skyman (swi? fra? 01/90) joined Shining (STD10). He is the author of
  "Seven Colors" (Infogrames) and all design and music by GFX-MOVIES
  (late91). He also coded the "Cartoons Demo".
Kid Icarus (ex Babygang [no entry], new 03/90) is now Daryl/TRSI (late 91).
  He originally joined as editor of the scene papermag 'B.A.D'.
Norwegian sysop It ('CONTACT ZERO', ex Razor 1911, new RAW3) didn't stay
  too long before moving on to Nemesis (pre 07/92).
Famous french musician Moby (ex Dragons, 01/90) joined Dreamdealers (mid
  91), after releasing the music disk "More Than Music" in april.

 I've Got The Power (1991, ECS Trackloaded Musicdisk).
  code: Hornet, gfx: PGCS, Fox (logo), music: Burgame, Greg (intro).
  review: The main selling point of this musicdisk is a 420k remix of the
  then-popular "I've Got The Power" track by pop group Snap! Still, it's
  not a bad little production. Graphics are very Alcatraz - not great, but
  more than functional. The sword from the top of the screen is
  particularly good, though. There's not much code to speak of here.
  Greg's intro music could have been great, but sounds a little unpolished.

 Museum (1992, early, ECS Trackloaded Slideshow).
  code: Quedex, gfx: Iluvatar, PGCS, Alex, Fox (uncredited opening logo),

  review: This is a slideshow from three different graphicians, so the array
  of style is quite varied. There's 18 different pictures to be seen here,
  choosable from a picture selector. Some of them (PGCS') have already been
  seen in Odyssey, but they're the best here, so we don't mind the repeat
  too much. The music is okay. It doesn't irritate, at least!
    This is quite rare, actually - this production works PERFECTLY on an
  accelerated machine in 1997. Apart from the fact that some of the intro
  effects are fast as hell (at least that means they're not precalced!),
  there's nothing wrong at all. That's a refreshing change, hehe...

  Review: This is good! It's got a good sense of pace, good music, several
  nice effects and two good logos by Alex! Alex left Alcatraz for
  Dreamdealers a little earlier, but still made these logos for them...
  Perhaps as a sign of 'no bad feelings'? This intro announces the joining
  Orbit, HMC, and Speedbit, and is is therefore a sort of 'welcome' intro.
  It also announces the leaving of Style.

  Review: A short intro, and MUCH inferior to Orbit's previous "60k Intro".
  nothing very exciting... The music tries to be
  thumping, but at 26k that's a hard thing to do. I'm sorry, atz, but this
  never really came alive for me. Those 55 frames of animation weren't very
  exciting either, I'm afraid :) Try again.

  4th in the Assembly 94 demo competition.
  Review: Whoa! I'm sure this kicked ass on the big screen! This baby
  features some rather revolutionary (I'm sure) effects for its time.
  There are some reasonably fast effects here, to be sure! Especially the
  mapped objects during the main part and the 'flight sim' part at the end
  impressed me. The music is nothing special, just functional. It's plain
  to see that both Hornet and PGCS improved their skills a lot since
  "Odyssey". Especially one of the ATZ logos by PGCS was nice... Still, I
  expected more from a 4-disk demo... Suddenly it was just over.
    The bigfiles are just lots of XPK'ed files linked together. There were
  additional versions released after the party; this review refers to
  version 1.3 (25.09.1994). Though it will run from disk on an A1200 with
  enough mem, the documentation says it suggests a 030 and a harddisk.
  When installing, remember to assign "Ilyad1:" to "Ilyad4:" to your
  directory. The documentation makes no mention of this, I believe, so I
  had to hex-read the executable to find out :)

  Compass #1 (1994, early, ECS Diskmag).
  info: Compass (or the COMputer Article Spreading Site) was a fresh start
  by mostly the same people that worked on McDisk. Alcatraz released a text
  file (published in Scoopex' packmag 'Nevermind' #48) to announce the
  imminent release of Compass, "early 1994". Unfortunately, it only survived
  for a single issue before most of the team behind it left the group for
  new, better things.

  Viola Bros., Pigment, Lukas A., music: Archangel, Nightshade/Crusaders.
  Cooperation with TRSI and TRSI Recordz.
  Split 7th in The Party 95 demo competition.
  review: The first thing that strikes you about this production is 'WOW!'
  The second thing that strikes you, is 'shame about the design'.
  And that's the biggest problem with it: Virtually no attention has been
  assigned to the design of the thing! It's got lots of cool, heavy
  effects, a couple of cool pics (Lazur's Alien pic is FAAAAANTASTIC!),
  but not much work on putting it all together. With all this graphical
  talent working on the demo, I can only be disappointed that the potential
  was far from fulfilled.

-------------
AUS> Biggles (code gfx, 08/92), Dreamweaver (gfx, 08/92), Ginseng (music,
     08/92), Vision Beyond (code, 08/92).

. Oz-Con 1 Invitation Intro (1992, .08, ECS Intro).
  code: Biggles, Vision Beyond, gfx: Biggles, Dreamweaver, music: "Warp" by
  Ginseng.
  review: This invitation intro is a sad affair really, with a scroller at
  the bottom and three sucky pictures to change between using the space
  bar. It gets the job done, but it's not pretty, and it sounds awful.
  Sorry to be so harsh on you Alchemy, but this intro isn't really one to
  make you stand up and take notice.

Alchemy was originally a Polish group, though a Norwegian division was new
in Propaganda #4. Johan (old handle Frodo) stopped drawing. In a filemag
(rel late 95), I found two ads for swapping by Exolon - one where he's in
this group, and one where he's in Tilt... Other productions I know of from
this group is "Party Zanci" (intro) and "Toxic Ziemniak" (trackmo).

M-Iron left.
Polish musician Accord (06-09/93) was kicked, for no apparent reason (PRP4).
  He was later in Gel Dezign.

Alliance Design was the Quartex demo division for quite a while, and
released what is probably their best-known demo, "Substance", for them.
After they left Quartex, there were rumours that they became a Crystal
subgroup instead, but this is untrue.

Alliance Design is dead. After Corto was busted for blueboxing, all members
  left. Walt (gfx) and Motif (code, both ex The Silents, new RAW2) joined
  Melon Dezign (RAW3). The news that AD is dead cannot be true, since RAW3
  was published in july 92, and AD released the coopearation demo "Arkham
  Asylum" in january 93.
French graphicians Zebig and 7th Eye joined Dreamdealers (pre 07/92).
French graphician Mack (new 04-06/91) joined Scoopex mid 91, so his stay was

AFL is one of the oldest Amiga groups still in existence, formed in 1987,
mostly dealing in the illegal part of the scene. There is also an Alpha
Flight 1970 (AFL'70) on the c64, still in existence. In their prime, they
were also one of the first groups to have subgroups - and they had lots of
them! Some of the most known were Vision One, Zylon and Z-Dream (see
separate entries). Please note that not only did everyone else get
confused, so did AFL on a few occasions! For example, they printed in their
mag that Satan/AFL joined D-Tect, when infact Satan was in their subgroup
Vision One!
  They also released one of the first regular diskmags for the Amiga, in
the shape of 'Cracker Journal'. Hose, sysop of their finnish BBS 'SEVERED
GARDEN' rejoined (RAW3). The situation with Belgian board 'THE FLYING
SAUCER' is confusing; is Cocaine and Dr.Avalanche or Uli sysop?
  Other prodcutions released by AFL, where I have minimum information, is
"Blitter Madness" (file), "Scroll On an Ham Picture" (file), "Cracker
Journal Special issue #1" (diskmag), "Vector" (demo, coop Demons), "Megabob"
(demo, coop Genesis), "Dark" (slideshow, coop Genesis), "Soundbox"
(musicdisk, coop Shadowlight), "Soundbox II The Return" (1989 musicdisk,
coop Genesis), "Musiccompacting 1" (musicdisk, coop Mindwarp), "Megademo II"
(demo, coop Mindwarp), "Sinus" (intro, coop Paradox), "Grafitti" (demo, coop
Shadowlight), "Guest Starring" (file), "Defenda Crack Intro" (intro), "Best
Bob" (demo).

Swedish sysop Dexter ('TOTAL DISASTER', doublememb Comakids, 01/95) joined
  Aurora.
American sysop Winter Mute ('MARTYRIUM', ex Classic, 11/91) joined Infinite
  Perfection.
Destroy (sysop 'PARADISE') was busted 14.06-91. Luckily, he had time to
  format his HD before he let the cops in. Following this, there was
  widespread panic on the German scene. Read more about it in the year's
  scene file!
Musician Thexder (ex Assult, new RAW4) left to join Atomic.
Hot and Pha left (RAW5).
Dutch sysop Sal-One ('BOONDOCKS') joined TRSI (RAW5).

Finnish swapper and trader Black Sheep (ex Zakka/Rebels) left soon after
  joining (RAW5) and moved on to Accession late93.
Salvatore (ex Paranoid, new RAW4) joined Scoopex, he wasn't kicked!
  (SLH11^GEN6). Other sources claimed he joined Addicts.
German sysop Wolfgang ('CHINATOWN') was kicked (GEN6).
English Kitaro, sysop 'MILLENNIA' joined Fairlight (RAW4).
Vindex left to join Anthrox 09/92.
Winger (ex Noxious) was kicked out, but joined Scoopex 09/92. He did not
  leave the scene, as stated in RAW #3.
Magic joined Vision. News in R.A.W #3 that he joined Defjam are probably
  false.
Virus joined Palace (RAW3).
Dr.No and Zacae joined Bloodsuckers (RAW3).
Punisher (both ex Noxious, new RAW3) left the scene (RAW3).
Swedish sysop Xstaz ('ICE PALACE', ex Spirit, new RAW3) joined Noxious
  (RAW3). He later returned to AFL, that's why he's on the memblist (RAW4).
Germans Sniffy and Helioth joined Vision (pre 07/92). In Vision, they're
  suddenly sysops of 'SPIRITUAL HEALING'...were they in AFL too?
American sysop Flashback ('CYBERTECH') joined Vision (pre 07/92).
Psychon changed handle to Anvil and joined Black Monks mid 91.
English sysops Sabbath and Undertaker ('GRAVEYARD', ex Quartex, new RAW4)
  left for the PC scene.

  FDT (trade, 12/90) and Ginger all left to form a new group called
  Venture late 1991. Later also Krypton (sysop 'CONTROL TOWER' opened
  09/91) and Gizmo (gfx) joined. FDT was one of the AFL leaders at the
  time, and his position was filled by Rator and Sabine.

  review: Now, THIS is history - the very first issue of CJ! Ofcourse, this
  is entirely in German, so I didn't understand much. It's amazing, though,
  how little it changed over the first issues.
    Though the mag itself works satisfactory, the intro does not. No matter
  what I attempt, it always gurus. There are no real credits to be seen
  anywhere, except for in a few of the articles.

  for some people's liking, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.
  Unlike the first issue, nothing works here; neither the intro or the

  Review: Remarkably, this issue of CJ seems to be a lot better laid out, a
  lot more compatible and a has a lot better English than the only other
  issue I have - #28! There's also not the same sense of showelware - all
  of these articles were MEANT for the mag, they're not just files off the
  boards! There's more articles in German here, though. The mag's content
  is quite limited, at just over 50 articles, but they are one hell of a
  lot more interesting than the ones in #28... There doesn't appear to be
  any kind of credits except for the articles in the mag itself, but then
  again there's not much code to speak of... You see, each and every
  article is an IFF file, so all the coder had to make was a picture shower
  that could change pictures and play some music in the background :)
    I like the atmosphere in this. There's a genuine sense of stumbling to
  establish the scene. These were pioneers, and as such ofcourse there were
  two mistakes for every innovation. Still, they make their small mistakes
  with unmistakable amounts of charm. Nice, this is.

  review: This issue was the first to feature the new code for the mag,
  meaning no more iff pictures! That alone was an enormous step up...
  Design did not change significantly, only the inner workings of the mag
  did. I have chosen not to rate Satan/Vision One/AFL's small intro here,
  since it's not AGA compatible and really little more than a boot intro.
    The compatibility rating is only for the magpart, the intro for this
  mag does not run under AGA. Also, I had to run the mag with caches off,
  or my keyboard would not respond after a while. Otherwise, no probs!

  Review: Now this is more like it! This intro says STYLE in big bold
  letters! Well, actually it says Alpha Flight, but you get the picture :)
  The intro consists of just one nice logo in the middle of the screen,
  which is in hires-lace, and a scroller that twists inbetween the letters.
  It's a simple concept, but superbly executed.
    The intro reviewed was the one released in connection with their

    This intro is earmarked as from 'the Swedish division' and also

Amaze was a demo group based in Germany, but also with strong divisions in
other countries.
  1990 - They received two new German members around july, when swappers
Bomber and Pinhead joined from the Celtic subgroup Highlander. November saw
the joining of Italian multitalent Filippetto from Savage, and his diskmag
"Freedom Crack". Issue #4 was the first isse ufo the mag to be released by
Amaze, and was released in december.

Other Amaze releases where I have only a minimum of information is "Released

  theory of my own: Buntz changed his name to Zonic, AND THEN...
Genestealer joined Cult (RAW3).
Finnish El Gringo left the scene (RAW3).
Dr.Gassu joined Elysion (RAW3).
The German editor of "Disktrash", Death Angel (92), was kicked (RAW3).

  Factory. Anyone can help clear this mess up?
The Norwegian division left and split up. Dreamer (ex Chris/Grace, new
  RAW2) joined Pure Metal Coders. Frequenz (sysop, ex Decept) joined Razor

  review: Well, a bit hard to review this as I've never seen it! Still, the
  coder is Tron for god's sake, so how bad can it be? The music is a very
  cool Jester-like synthie-pop thing. For the record, 'Magic Duke' (Stefan
  Reisch) later appeared as GTO/Digital in 1994. Totally refuses to work on
  my configuration, no matter what I do to it.

Ambrosia is a demo group active on both the Amiga and PC platforms, and
based in Denmark with sections in some other countries as well. They were
organized by Raze and Drac, but Raze stopped organizing 06/96. Powdihacker
then became the new second organizer, it seems. Their mascot Karina is,
obviously, female.
  The recent smash hit doom clone game "Genetic Species" was made by the
Danish Ambrosia members Powdihacker (code), Cain (gfx), Shadow Walker (gfx)
and Trayzor (sound)!
  Other Ambrosia productions that I have only a minimum amount of
information on are: "Psychopack #2 Packmenu" (intro), "Genetic Species" (aga
hd demo), "Miracle Chips #1" (aga intro) and "Scenemeeting Invitation" (aga
intro).

Dutch swapper Coolio (new late96) changed his handle to Blunt and joined
  TRSI (ROM9).
Musician Trayzor (12/95) left late 96.
Vaxx left to be independent late 95.
Spiderwork, Mr.Salinas, The Crow, Kallestrup and Jolly Roger were kicked
  late 95.

 Freaks Don't Care (1995, 28.12, AGA 40k Intro).
  code: Zeek, gfx: Cyboman, Cain, music: "Canellamips" by Trayzor.
  16th or 24th in The Party 5 40k intro competition.
  review: It's an OK intro, this. There's some OK effects, like a zoom-
  rotator with 'jerky' zooming and an OK voxel routine. The chiptune is
  functional, with a very good tune for the end part. It's a remake of an
  actual tune that was on the charts. My girlfriend recognized the tune as
  being called 'Jimmie Dean', but couldn't remember the name of the group.
  Very good.

  code: Powdihacker, gfx: Cain (main), Shadow Walker (rynkeby logo), music:
  Raze. 16th or 24th in The Party 5 40k intro competition.
  review: Another good intro from the TP5 competition from Ambrosia, this
  one gives us a texturemapped motionblurred cube and some fractal roofs
  and floors as its main attractions. The boom-boom-boom generic techno
  is a major drawback, though. The opening Rynkeby logo is awful.

  code: Zeek, gfx: none, music: Trayzor.
  Contribution for The Party 5 4k intro compo.
  review: Nothing much to this one, except that it features actual music -
  unusual for a 4k intro. The only effect is a dottunnel, and we've seen
  that a million times before.

 Ard (1996, 05.04, AGA 4MB HD Multifile).
  code: Syntax, Powdi, gfx: Cain, Cyboman, Access, music: Cyboman.
  Released at The Gathering 96, outside competition.
  review: There is one thing about Ard that draws it down a lot; The fact
  that the entire demo is presented in that 'ghosted' mode, that apparently
  saves a lot of rastertime on c2p routines. There's just one drawback with
  this: IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK HALF AS GOOD AS SOLID ROUTINES! Other than
  that, the demo has an altogether average feel to it. The code is OK, I
  guess, but the graphics and music are so average it hurts. The whole
  thing has a 'rushed together' feel to it, made further evident by the
  fact that this demo was released out of competition at TG.

Amiga Freelancers (AF)
----------------------
NOR> Zap (code).

AF rose from nothing to instant fame when they released the first version
of ProTracker 1.0, and stayed there until they had released their final
version. Until PT arrived, sceners had had to make do with the limited
NoiseTracker by the Swedes Mahoney & Kaktus. When PT 1.1 introduced things
like a built-in sampler and an online help system, there was no turning
back. In a way, AF got their name in the Amiga demoscene history books on
the back of one single production...

Anders Hamre joined Pure Metal Coders (RAW2).

Amnesty are a purely Polish demo group.

Polish graphician and musician Dave (ex Freezers, new late96) left the group
  after the   Rush Hours party in the beginning of 1997. He did not find a
  suitable new group, and remained groupless for the remainder of 1997,
  before now joining Haujobb. Dave made music for the "Hazchemix" (11/96)
  demo for Amnesty.
Insert joined Depth 06/96.

  3rd in the Intel Outside 3 intro competition.

 HazMix (1996, 10.11, AGA 4k Intro).

  Winner of the Gravity 96 4k intro competition!
  review: Beautiful. Just beautiful. "HazMix" must surely be the best ever
  4k intro - at least at the time of its release. Hasid has managed to cram
  an amazing amount of variations on a couple of effects into his alotted
  4k. You won't BELIEVE how long this little bastard keeps going!
  An amazing achievement.

  3rd in the Gravity 96 demo competition.
  review: This demo possesses an amazing amount of atmosphere! As a result
  of the visuals, the great and moody music (mind you, I usually hate this
  kind of thing) and the widescreen display you're almost spellbound the
  first time you see it. There's almost NO text or graphics, just the
  visuals. Large portions of phong and bump effects are the order of the
  day, and these routines seem both fast and smooth (at least on my 030 :).

Anadune seem to take their role as the new Polish #1 very seriously.
They arranged the Gravity 96 party in Poland 11/96. It seems action may
have more or less left the scene, but this is unconfirmed.

German sysop Celic left the scene late97/early98.
Polish trader and sysop Losiu (ex Megapoint, new 06/96) left to be
  independent late97/early98.

  Cooperation with Venus Art, see there.

Versor (1997, 23.02, AGA 64k Intro).
  code: n/a, gfx: Kazik, music: n/a.
  2nd in the Rush Hours '97 64k intro competition.
  review: What struck me after seeing Versor was, 'this is just like an
  Azure intro - only more blocky!' You see, we're presented here with a few
  effects that are quite a lot like some of what Azure did in "Dawn.Remix"
  and other intros - the difference being that Azure's routines were 1x1.
  The intro opens with an envmapped logo, which is afterburned and finally
  fades away. Then we're shown a Versor logo and some other graphics,
  before another envmapped object, this time with some transparency. The
  show ends with the Versor logo from before being blown up to fill the
  whole screen, and a phong env object appears on top of it - before it
  starts to morph, and spikes shoot out of it. One cool thing about this
  intro is the graphics smoothing used here, which seems extremely
  effective! All effects have background graphics. The music is quite
  anonymous - I can't really remember how it went now :) The intro opens
  and ends with a badly drawn image of a tree. Anyone know the significance
  of this?
    The intro itself contains no credits, except the fact that the
  signature on Kazik's logo is plainly visible. Anyone know who coded and
  wrote the music for this intro? The logo can be extracted by decrunching
  the file (packed with Imploder) and using a tool like WRip to extract the
  iff file.

 Yon (1997, 23.02, AGA Multifile Demo).
  code: Mr.Acryl, Zig, gfx: Kazik, Lazur, Mr.Acryl (objects), music: Revisq
  (P61A format). Winner of the RushHours'97 demo competition!
  Cooperation with Floppy.
  review: Not my favorite demo, but still not bad from the new Polish
  masters. The most disappointing thing about this demo is the graphics!
  With a quality pixeler like Lazur working on it, I expected a lot better
  than what I got...and Kazik's pictures weren't much comfort. Some nice
  effects, bump, env and the usual shit, and a tune that doesn't get TOO
  irritating makes it pass the grade. Above average but lacks the final
  spark... The txt file in the demo directory suggests it was meant as a
  contribution for The Party 6. I have no idea how much memory it requires,
  but at least it ran fine with 4mb fast!

  code: Diamond, gfx: Cancer, Lance, music: "Cellarband" by (D) Fence.
  review: A horror example of what NOT to do, this is one of a million
  stereotype 'contact us' intros out there. You know the kind, with a logo
  at the top, and a scroller/plotter occopying the rest of the screen.
  Words cannot describe how bored I am with these :(
  This is their first ever released intro.

  Bubble (1994, 08.03, AGA Intro).


Anal Intruders (AI)
-------------------
AI is probably most known for their fake 'Enigma 2' release at TG'94.
I remember expectations riding high when we saw the next demo would be
Enigma 2...unfortunately it wasn't. They're also notorious for their nazi
sympaties. Unfortunately they don't seem to be able to present their
opinions in a way that's not laughable...

Boards; PROVOCATION (swe, 12/90).

Anarchy spent some time as the definitive 'super-group' of the demo scene,
before it grew too big and simply died. When they were on top, though, they
produced what are some of the most well-remembered demos ever... However,
when the best members went and formed Lemon. on 1st February 1993, they
pretty much nailed the coffin. After a little while, the remainders of the
group decided that the blow was too hard, and they'd rather quit on top
than keep going at half speed. Dan and Nuke were involved with the making
of several games for Core while still in Anarchy, like Chuck Rock.
  There has NEVER been a member called Striker and Zoom was never kicked
despite rumours in some mags.

After Anarchy died, the Englishmen Judge Drokk (Mark, org editor 'Stolen
  Data', 02/90), 4-Mat (Matthew Simmonds, music, 07/90-12/92), Mystik (gfx,
  ex Reaktor, new 10/90-12/92), Krest (code) and Critical Mass (code) all
  decided to end their involvement with the scene. 4-Mat's music has since
  graced several games, as you all know, and it is believed that Kris (code)
  joined him in gamemaking land. This is NOT confirmed, however.
On the 1st of february 1993, a large portion of Anarchy's most talented
  members in England, Denmark and Holland left to form a new, smaller group
  called 'Lemon.' These members were Facet (hol gfx, ex Vision, new
  late91), Dan (eng code, 10/90), Nuke (eng music, new 12/90), Hannibal
  (den code, ex The Silents, old handle Sunjohn, 12/91), Slash (den gfx, ex
  Flash Productions, 12/91), Mad Freak (den music, 12/91) and Paradroid
  (eng code, ex Digital, new 07/92). Indirectly, it was this act that
  killed Anarchy. Left without its best members, people starte losing their
  confidence in the supergroup, and started leaving in droves. A few months
  later they were stone dead. Later, dutch graphician Danny (ex Mirage) also
  joined Lemon.
The two Danes ICronite and Milkshake (both ex Rebels), who participated in
  such fine productions for Anarchy as "Digital Innovation" (91) and
  "Hardcore" (12/92), left to form Camel Corporation in February 1993.
Frenchmen NHP & BKH (org music, 04-12/92), Conquest and Zoom (all 04/92, all
  ex The Silents) joined Scoopex in early 1993. NHP and BKH had the
  musicdisk "Spring Melodies" [04/92] released in Anarchy.
French painter Suny (ex Rebels, new STD10, 12/92) joined Movement.
Arpegiator (music) joined Chryseis late 92.
French coder Ronan (ex The Silents, 04/92) joined Sanity.
  Ronan coded the musicdisk "Spring Melodies" [04/92] for Anarchy.
Finns Destop (gfx) and WDO (code) rejoined CNCD.
English coder and graphician Kreator (Michael Troughton, production editor
  'Stolen Data', 07/90-12/92) landed a job at Reflections (the people behind
  the 'Shadow of the Beast' games) and consequently left the scene at the
  end of january 1993.
In the middle of january, Danes Slammer (code) and Xience (gfx, both ex
  Rednex) joined Melon Dezign. Later also Solnova (gfx) joined. Slammer and
  Xience collaborated on the trackmo "In The Kitchen" (06/92) for Anarchy.
French swapper Mental (ex Atlantys) joined Absolute! early 93. In addition,
  I saw an ad in Generation #6 where he says 'After to have left Anarchy,
  Willow I re-joined Anarchy!'. I added the relevant information to Willow's
  entry. To make confusion total, there were news in Eurochart #17 that he
  had left for PMC shortly after joining!
Englishmen Mole and Mr.Big (02/90) left the scene in the latter part of
  1992.
The German section fell apart after the people behind the "Flower Power"
  (10/92) demo (Crux, Tron, E.Toball and MCM (all ex Dual Crew)) were
  kicked. Slick (ex Cyberactive) was also kicked, and because of this Pinny
  (Christian) left. The German section is therefore dead (STD10). Tron
  joined Sanity, MCM joined Spaceballs, E.Toball joined Complex and Crux (ex
  Dual Crew) joined Adept. RAW5 claimed that Tron also joined Complex, this
  is untrue.
Danish musician Maestro (Martin Agger, ex Kefrens old) was kicked because of
  lazyness and not being involved with the scene at all. On the 14th of June
  1996, he died in Aarhus, Denmark, at the age of 24. RAW5 claimed he joined
  Kefrens, but that's not true.
Norwegian coder Octoplex (ex Gate, new 12/90) joined Palace.
French graphician Titan (ex Atlantys) joined Digital.
Swedes Lexter (code), Mosh (code, 11/90) and Dexter (music, new 09/91)
  joined Shining (pre 03/92).
Swedish sysop Norad ('ACES HIGH' WHQ, new RAW4) joined Virtual.
Tama (ex Euphoria) left the scene.
German Maec is NOT a member of Anarchy.
French coder Performer (ex The Silents) joined Melon Dezign. He was never a
  member of Rebels, as some people claimed.
Belgian Cybersonik (ex Cult) who worked as coeditor on Stolen Data for a
  while, was kicked by Trix! He therefore joined Alcatraz 09/92.
French trader Rhod (ex Rebels old) left the scene. The information in RAW3
  that he was kicked seems to be untrue, especially since both the next RAW
  and Anarchy's own mag Stolen Data confirms he left.
French swapper Surfer (David Pointu, ex The Silents) left the scene.
  Conquest took over the organizing of the French section.
French coder DCA (ex Rebels old) joined The Silents.
Mike D. (ex Sanity, RAW1) joined Complex.
Crackerjack and Fresh are NOT in Anarchy, as stated in McDisk 3 (RAW2).
The entire French division of The Silents joined. However, a few days later
  Audiomonster returned to TSL.
All Swedish and Finnish members were kicked because of extreme laziness. I
  don't know whether it's related, but: Finns Golem (gfx, ex Gate, new
  12/90-91) and Major Tom joined Carillon.
Swedish sysop Stanton ('3AM ETERNAL') joined Amaze.
Germans Mike (sysop 'STATE OF MIND', 09/91), Cyfreak and Koto joined
  Endless Piracy 09/91.
Banger and Mediator (Andrew, eng code, 07-10/90) left Anarchy mid 91. Banger
  first joined Punishers, and later left the scene altogether.
German sysop Bomber ('PEARL HARBOUR' opened 09/91) joined Crusaders late91.
Finnish musician Bruno (ex Gate, new 12/90-91) joined SCUP. Bruno released
  the musicdisk "Bruno's Music Box 3" (91) while in Anarchy.
Raistlin (code, 07-10/90) and Pioneer left the scene to pursue their school
  careers late 90.
Igor (gfx, 07/90-04/91), Fobia and Cosmos (music, new 12/90) got kicked.
Finnish coder and graphician Wraith (Mika Keskikiikonen, ex Gate, new
  12/90) left the scene 91. He announced his decision in Anarchy's "Bruno's
  Music Box III".

 Demo Dolly Mixture No.01 (ECS Intro).
  code: Zarch, gfx: Marvin (logo), Igor (font), music: "Popkorn" by Nuke
  (4ch MOD format).
  review: This intro precedes the first ever issue of Anarchy's packseries
  Demo Dolly Mixture (compiled by Cosy), and is very very standard. The
  music is a suitably cheery chip affair, and the obligatory logo at the top
  of the screen is nicely done, if a little unimaginative. The rest is just
  the normal text and scroller. This is the kind if intro you are likely to
  see a hundred of... Please note that this is NOT a selector, just an
  intro, the selection itself was probably done in DOS. The intro does not
  in any way indicate any release date.

  review: The very first issue of SD opens with a good intro - colorful and
  professional. Then on to the mag itself... You are first taken to a menu,
  where you can choose to see one of three new demos (so it's almost a pack
  too!), the charts or the mag itself. The menu is a little much, really,
  too colorful and overcrowded for a diskmag. SD was originally on both
  paper and disk, with the papermag containing the bulk of the material...
  As a result, the editorial content of this first issue is VERY limited.
  In fact, you'll read this mag from start to end in about 10 minutes...

  review: The coding of this mag remains mostly the same as last time, only
  the music and text seem to have changed significantly. It's still both
  disk- and paperbased, with the paper edition having most of the
  significant information - sadly. There are just two demos on the disk this
  time, Red Sector's "Follow Me" and Rebels "Vectors 1990", but in addition
  there are also two small utilities, Boot Memory Clear and Music Ripper for
  Titanics Cruncher by Punisher/Anarchy.
    The different heading above for this review means INT (intro), MEN
  (menu), MAG (magazine) and CHA (charts). The mag was released in february,
  but after MF's Select party (03-04.02), so probably sometime around mid
  february.

  code: Paradroid, gfx: Paradroid, Krest (additional), Slash (additional),

  review: Just weeks after he joined, Paradroid released this small, rushed
  trackmo that still smells strongly of a professional attitude towards
  demo coding. Paradroid also did most of his own graphics - and very well
  he did them too. I guess this makes him Dan's equal, in that they're
  coder-graphicians, which is a rare combination indeed. Nuke's main tune
  is a very bland disco affair, but the end tune is a much better, slower
  affair. The code consists of mainly vector routines, but they're strictly
  state-of-the-art for the period, including stuff like ellipses and
  complex shading. The graphics and design are what sets it a little
  apart from the crowd, though. Very nice, if I may say so. I cannot vouch
  for this needing the full 1MB or being just 512k.

  review: Since this demo no longer works on my current hardware, I will
  have to write this review largely from memory. What I can remember,
  though, is some excellent craftmanship, in all respects. I remember this
  demo for Nuke's great music, I remember it for Facet's great 'Hardcore'
  title picture, and I remember it for its revolutionary vector code, with
  complex effects like space cutting.
    Technically, this demo consists of three files; one small loader and
  two data files. The executable and the first data files were packed with
  the absolute address cruncher Time Cruncher 1.7, which may go a long way
  in explaining why it doesn't work anymore. Rush, ICronite or Dan - please
  release a working copy! The files must all be on a disk in df0: for the
  demo to work. When you attempt to load the demo, it prints a little text
  in the cli window, starts loading the first data file, and when it's
  done the machine guru's. This also happens with caches off, kicking down
  to 1.3 etc. Believe me, I've tried it all.

  one disk devoted to the mag. Presentation is flawless, as mentioned, with
  lots of pictures and great design. It's not hard to understand SD's
  position in the diskmag scene after having feasted on this. Excellent!

Andromeda (AOA, 1989-)

NOR> Andy (Anders, code, ex Absence, 09/91-04/94), Archmage (Hakon Repstad,
     mainorg gfx, old handle The Mage, 09/91-95), Decker (gfx, ex Scoopex,

     Interface, 09/91-12/94), Jaz (ex Scoopex, new at 04/93-04/94), MCS
     (swap, ex Absence, 09/91-04/94), Mr.Hyde (code, 09/91-12/94), Mr.Man
     (Ronny Nordeide, music, ex Absence, 09/91-04/94), Quest (gfx, ex
     Absence, 09/91-04/94), Size, View (gfx raytrace, old handle The Main,

     Wood (gfx, ex TRSI, new 05/93-04/94).

Andromeda must surely be one of the most successful demo groups of all
time. Productions like the Seven Seas slideshow and the "Mirror" musicdisk
raised their international reputation, culminating in their highlight year
of 1994, when they won at both The Gathering (with 'Sequential) and at The
Party (with their oustanding 'Nexus 7'). Both those demos made instant
stars of their coders, and elevated Andromeda into the absolute upper elite
of demo groups. Unfortunately, they faded into the inactivity that so many
groups do at the top, and even though new demos have been promised several
times none has seen the light of day since their finest hour at The
Party 4. The group still exists, and is not dead as such. Fairfax nowadays
work as a graphician at Funcom.
  After the whole 'Stalin' thing and the war with Lord Helmet, Hydra
(leader since the beginning) finally decided enough was enough in the early
parts of 1995, and stepped down as leader of Andromeda. The new leader is
Archmage, but it doesn't seem like he is nearly as successful as his
predecessor; NOTHING has been released from Andromeda after he took over. :(
  Their internal rules are rather strict; for example members are not
allowed to do packs or do modemtrading. Also, they do not allow members
from outside Norway, much like Phenomena's policy in the old days.
PRP4 brought the news that William did NOT leave the scene, despite that it
was claimed in several mags. Size closed his board 'RAW FUSION', but DIDN'T
leave the scene, as stated in some mags (ROM7). It's a small miracle that
Archmage can draw his fantastic pictures since he, like the English
graphician Red Devil/DCS, is in fact colourblind!

Norwegians Moxy (ex Offence, new late92), Lizard (ex Offence, 12/92), Duel
  (ex Motion, new RAW3^92, 11/92) and Blazer (ex Motion, new RAW3^92) all
  left to join Lemon. (RAW6). Jason (gfx) and Joachim (music, ex Crusaders)
  later also joined.
Rook (ex Offence as Rex, new RAW5) was kicked due to general displease with
  him from the other members.

Norwegian coder Wizax (ex Absence, 09/91) left the scene 09/92.
Norwegians Enigma (gfx, 09/91-92), Bingo (09/91-92), Madlock (music, ex
  Motion, new RAW3), Ralph (swap, 09/91) and Prophet (new 92) were all

  review: As usual, a very polished intro from Andromeda. It certainly
  follows their standard 'clean' style. It opens with an animation where an
  Andromeda logo sort-of 'explodes' onto the screen. It then bounces to the
  bottom of the screen, and we get a tv-box lightsourced filled vector with
  filled vector objects on the sides (puh!) in the background, and a text
  writer on top of that. Does the job it's supposed to, I guess. It was
  released to announce the joining of Duel, Blazer, Madlock, Prophet and
  The Main, and the handle changes of Archmage and William. By the way,
  the opening logo animation is stored in the file as a standard IFF ANIM,
  and can be ripped with WRip or a similar program. Approved. I draw the
  conclusion that it was released early in the year, since they tell
  someone they grreet they'll meet him in easter.

  stunning, real-world realistic routines are the order of the day from
  this two-year-in-development project. As far as I know, it was also sadly
  HeadX' final demo project.
    There's nice graphics throughout, and the three tunes by Mr.Man vary
  from average to truly moodsetting - especially his orchestral tune at the
  end and the end part of the main module. Truly great stuff! From the
  jelly letters to the infamous roller coaster part to the dying tree -
  this was indeed 'the last true ECS trackmo'. Requires 1mb total mem?

  Winner of The Party 4 demo competition!
  review: Andromeda's TP4 winner still packs a great punch. It's a hard
  production to describe, since so much of it is 'feeling' rather than
  concrete. It's still Andromeda, so it's quite polished, but still a lot
  rougher than some of their previous releases. When the opening symphonics
  turn to that hard-hitting soundtrack, it's still something of a power
  rush no matter how many times I see it... The music is timed to the
  routines, almost slave-likely so. A good hint: The first time you see it,
  turn off all the lights. You'll appreciate the difference.
    Ripping however, is not so easy. The file itself is uncrunched - at
  least the header - so loading straight into a ripper doesn't help much.
  Running it with Exotic in the background, and then exiting and searching
  helped some. Exotic found a P50/P60 module with external samples that
  looked correct, but since exotic doesn't support external samples unless
  it's in the registered version, that's not much help.

Angels were a legendary cracking group, born in june 1990, and one of the
first two-faced crews, who not only cracked a lot of games, but released a
few good demos as well. They were based in France. Though they were
initially illegal-based, they grew a strong demo section when they swallowed
the French demo group Dragons 09/90. Shortly after joining they delivered
the very strong "Copper Master" (10/90) demo, but their stay unfortunately
proved to be short. Soon after its release, Corsair (code), Foxy (gfx) and
Mr.Video (gfx) announced they would move on to join Classic (please note
that this MAY be wrong, and that they infact went to The Company instead;
some research indicates it).

Jaffa joined Heaven.
Dutch swapper Antichrist joined Pirates.
The ex-Genesis guys Scott (sysop 'DULCET TONES'), Mr.E, I.B.M and N.O.M.A.D

  review: The copper master himself, Corsair, tries to do every copper trick
  ever devised...and pulls it off. Corsair made a crackintro for Angels that
  looks a lot like this demo... A great little demo this, actually, which
  clearly succeeds in what it sets out to do...to kill the raster-only dead
  by doing EVERYTHING! Still, the big star of this show is Moby's amazing
  tune... Cool and colorful is the only way to describe Copper Master!
  This is a classic, and there is no excuse for not having seen it.

  review: Competently coded in every respect, with nice design and quite a
  few good-looking effects. Just some of the things we get to see is
  rubberglenz, fractal leaf, hiddenline vector with vectorballs inside, a
  dotcube and a full-screen dot-tunnel to round it all off. There appears
  to be no exit. ADLs test mentioned some problems with a 2.04
  configuration, but since it runs on my machine, I do not think that the
  KS was their problem. Anyway, nicely designed! A few months later, in
  december, Ninja was in Paradox and released his next intro, "Calimero".

Anthrox was an English illegal group, born as early as 1989 (though they
were announced as a new group in Zine #5, released 06/90). The Amiga section
was decleared dead in 1994. However, they remain active on other platforms,
and their web site is still at the adress on top of this entry! They were
also active on the SNES scene.
  Despite information to the effect in RAW4, Autopsy and Angeldawn/Scoopex
did NOT join Anthrox; they both joined The Silents. Check out the info on
the board 'HYPERSPACE' for total confusion!

Joker joined Cytax.
Basline joined Desire.
The board 'PLEASURE PARADISE' was closed.
Finnish musician Daddy Freddy (ex Spirit) joined Alcatraz.
Vindex (ex Alpha Flight, new 09/92) joined Spreadpoint.
Exhorder and Horny joined Animators late 95.
Nukeman joined Complex.
TDK joined Melon Dezign.
Pothead joined Abandon.
Coaxial joined Accession.
Swedish sysop The Master ('PRESSURE POINT',ex Fusion,03/91) joined 2000 AD.
Danish sysops Chrome and Ghost ('SANCTUARY') stopped all activity due to a
  HUGE phonebill (pre 07/92).
Empty joined Spirit late91.
Former Sector 4/Anthrox is now AFL SF 06/91.
Australian coder and trainer Ice (cosysop 'SPEED BOX', ex Punishers), who
  was once dubbed 'the trainer god', and did over 200 trainers on the
  Amiga, before he left the scene. He's now working at 'Sprint Enterprises'
  in Australia, a computer company with several other ex-scene members.

Founded in 1989 by Hydro and Count Zero, ATX has always been an illegal
group, releasing a fair few cracks and trainers in their time.
I briefly visited their website recently, and they now seem to have taken
pretty much the same path as Fairlight; selling console copiers legally.

  it is - an intro with plasma :) It has no actual name, so I just did it
  like that. The logo is the same as in the Spread Intro, btw, and apart
  from that there's a sinescroller over the plasmathing in the middle of
  the screen and a small textplotter under the logo at the top. Nothing
  awesome, but ok for what it is.

  review: This actually looked pretty promising...until I booted it. It
  quickly becomes apparent that these guys need to rethink how they
  prioritize grahics in their productions, cause this stinks. It's got no
  STYLE, no edge, no excitement. Simply dreadful; not even the music by two
  of Syndrome's musicians is any good. It was obviously designed to run
  from floppy. Keep trying, though. I don't want to discourage you Apathy
  guys - I always try to give fair, constructive criticism. Next time, try
  going for a design that's a little more 'clear'. Perhaps it's just me,
  but I dislike the 'fuzzy' look your graphics have. Practice makes
  perfect, so try again!

  review: When it starts you think 'that's a fast, but oh so small
  envmapped phong torus'. Then it grows... The routine is fast (at least
  in the first, uncomplicated parts), I'll give it that, but it's hardly
  the fastest or even the best ever. This and the fact that it (and
  variations on it) are the only routine in the intro makes it a bit
  limited for my taste. The music's OK, a lot better than most in this kind
  of thing. The graphics are functional, but not GOOD.

  review: Nice visuals help "Useless" a lot, even though there's only two
  effects in this 4k'er. The first effect is a nicelooking tunnel. It's
  hard to describe, but we travel into the tunnel, then out again. The
  second effect is a variation on the flame theme, with fires shooting out
  from a circular sun. Not bad! Then the show finishes with a reprise of
  the tunnel effect, only with a new palette, and the show's over.
  A good 4k'er.

  4th in the Astrosyn 97 64k intro competition.
  review: Not a bad intro at all, I was actually very very surprised that I
  was able to run it! You see, the text files that come with it claim it
  requires an FPU, though the intro ran fine without it on my machine!
  Effectwise, there's nothing new here. The phong feels relatively smooth
  and fast, but then the objects here are far from advanced. Above average.
    This intro was distributed to aminet with two versions of the
  executable; one which was the 64k compo version, and one which is
  slightly bigger, because of better textures. Music is fine. Fastram
  required is less than 4MB, but the exact amount is uncertain.

  happened to 'Thing' as a consequence of this, what's certain is that Magic
  started to work for Mirage's Chit-Chat instead...
Vasquez left the scene.
Chance, Jerome and Ricochet left to be independent.
Polish graphician Phantom (early93) left to form Bravo, so Magic is now
  editor of 'Thing'.

Paradoxum BBS-Intro (1993, ECS File).
  code: Kyle, gfx: Falcon, music: "Odyssey Remix" by Kid Frost (4ch MOD
  format).
  review: The tune makes this little intro, but let's face it: This is not
  going to set the world on fire - and was certainly never meant to. It's
  just a text plotter, a small vector 'thingy' flying around and some
  functional background graphics. For the record, the 'PARADOXUM' bbs is
  not an Arise board, it's in Diamonds & Rust.

  review: Meaningless, short intro which can't have been meant seriously.
  It's just a boring small tune, a graphic background which is a joke, and
  a ludicrously bad textwriter. Please stop releasing this shit, people.

 The Melee Intro (1993, late, AGA 40k Intro).
  code: Kyle, gfx: Falcon, Taron (anim), music: "Ghpipahaba" by Vision.
  review: Melee is a charming little intro, which is a little bit ruined
  for me by some truly pathetic music. Too bad they couldn't have used
  another tune... But apart from the music, this is a nice intro with some
  nice design and ok effects.
    No release date is quoted in the intro, and the only hints we're given
  is the '1993' in the accompanying ansi, and the module's sampletext
  saying the tune was made in october 93. This intro welcomes Effendi from
  Agnostic Front.

-------------------------------------
GER> Doc D (Jan Schneider, web, 03/97), Shylock (Sven Djatschenko, music,
     03/97), Yazoo (Michael Kopacek, gfx, 03/97).

Who ARE these guys? They came out of nowhere to coorganize the
SILIConvention and code the absolutely smashing invitation intro!
Text file that came with the "Fear Factory" demo mentioned their new
web-mag called "Expose".

German coder Axis (Michael Hillebrandt, ex Oxyron), responsible for the
  great "SILIConvention 97 Invitation" (97) and the "Fear Factory" (03/97)
  demo, decided to leave (ROM9).

SILIConvention 97 Invitation (1997, AGA File).
  code: Axis, gfx: Gizmo & Red/Icebird (main), Yazoo (font), music:
  Tommy/Avena (The Player 6.1A format).
  review: This ROCKS! I guess the cool music contributes a great deal to
  the superior atmosphere in this intro, but the coding and graphics will
  have to take their part of the 'blame' too :) It opens with two pictures;
  the first is a SILIConvention logo (rendered?) and the second is of a
  multitude of heads. It's more the way they're faded onto the screen to
  the beat of the music that appeals to me, I guess, but it's a great
  introduction either way. Then we get to the main part, which has a very
  cool effect that remains under the information at all times. It's a
  texturemapped vector cube that sort of 'surfs' the surface underneath,
  and the surface behaves like water, creating beautiful ripples all over
  the place. You'll know what I mean when you see it... Overlaid over this
  cool effect is the info file (the same as the normal text file), and it
  can be scrolled up or down by moving the mouse.
    Through sheer simplicity, power and style this is one of the best
  invitation intros I've seen in a very long time! Very very cool.
  By the way, you won't find a listing for Tommy/Avena anywhere in Scenery,
  because Avena is an Atari group...

 Fear Factory (1997, 30.03, Multifile).
  code: Axis, gfx: Yazoo, Gizmo/Icebird (fullscreen), music: Shylock.
  2nd in the Mekka Symposium 97 demo competition.
  review: I see nothing of the exceptional qualities offered by their
  previous production in this demo. There are signs of good coding, and
  signs of some innovative effort, but the overall impression is not one
  of professionality. The music quickly gets on your nerves, as does the
  less than great graphics. A disappointment.

 Clichs (1996, 18.08, AGA HD Multifile).
  code: Kalsu, gfx: Kalsu, Thain/Sensible (raytrace), Iodine (objects),
  music: Falcon (main), Kalsu (end).
  9th in The Assembly 96 demo competition.
  review: Very reasonable for a first demo! The coder, Kalsu, proves be a
  little of a Jack of all Trades, what with providing graphics and music to
  this demo as well as coding it. It opens with an envmapped object of the
  AP symbol, a stick-man. Then we're shown an AP logo, before we're on to a
  very nice voxel routine...and then it goes underwater! I was blown away,
  sitting there with my mouth wide open. The routine looked good and fast
  in its own right, and then it actually IMPROVES on the voxel routine!
  My favorite voxel was always the one Stellar used in their 40k intro
  "Peverly Hills" (1994). It seems there is a new king in town.
  Astonishing. After that minor shock we're on to a bumpmapping routine,
  where the word Clics is highlighted by first one, then two light
  sources. Next there's a tunnel with some greetings flying down it, before
  a scanned picture of a femal model zooms onto the screen. It stays there
  for a few seconds, before it zooms back and starts zoomrotating with a
  whole bunch of other pictures of models. Then, the innovation strikes
  back. The zoomrotator starts waving the pictures in a way I haven't seen
  before...before I actually see it forming some words! This is something
  I've never seen before - a first! The next effect can perhaps be best
  described as a 'flame tunnel', before it ends with a traditional
  upscroller over a raytraced picture with an AP logo.
    What strikes me about Clics is that there's actually some signs of
  innovation here! That voxel routine particularly stands out. The routines
  all look good and fast. I'm willing to bet that if this was released by a
  better known group it would have been placed higher in the competition.
  I'm certainly eagerly avaiting the next AP demo. Keep up the good work!

FRA> Nitch (Collomb Cedrick, code, ex Virtual Dreams, new late96).

In November of 1994, "Generation" editor Damion/Platin took his mag with
him and formed Artwork with Voyage/DCS. Within days Cockroach and JMS
joined from DCS, and The Loop, Jive and Detector from Platin. Soon after
this, wellknown talent like Tron, Fiver and Noogman joined, and the world
started to take notice. With their very first production, "Greenday" (95),
they WON the competition at the Black Box Symposium 95 - and Greenday was
awarded the DEMO OF THE YEAR accolade by this very publication! The end of
the year was also fruitful, with Azure winning BOTH the 4k and 40k
competitions at The Party!
  1995 - Towards the end of the year, they recruited German musician SMT
from Haujobb.
  In 1996, they continued recruiting talented members such as the legendary
ex-Sanity graphician Cougar, who first joined as a double member. They went
from strength to strength, and won AGAIN at the Symposium 96 with their
awesome "The Gate" demo - and Azure took home the trophy for best 40k intro
at the same party with "Dawn.Remix". Azure's next intro, the amazing "Phi"
only managed to come 2nd at the South Sealand party, but was awarded the
INTRO OF THE YEAR trophy by us - Artwork's second trophy!
  After being reinforced in the middle of 96 by ex-Matrix (amiga and pc
members Skyphos, Sharon and Nero, they released their first and last PC
production at Assembly '96, "Proton" (08/96).
  To this day Azure and Fiver2 retain their memberships in Bizarre Arts -
perhaps to show they still have a sense of humour? Voyage used to be sysop
of the board 'POINT BREAK'/'WATERWORLD' which has now been closed. Though
Damion was originally the editor of "Generation", the job has now been
handed down to RokDaZone. Though The Loop joined from Platin 11/94, I seem
to have him joining from Gods in 96. One explanation may be that he joined
Gods, only to later rejoin...
  Then, after releasing their final demo "Megademo IV 2" (04/98) at the
Mekka Symposium 98, they ended the existence of one of the most successful
groups ever in scene history. But out of the ashes another great German
group rises; Endzeit; founded on the remains of Artwork in much the same way
that Lemon. was founded on the ashes of Anarchy in 1993. But not all members
went to the new group ofcourse. The people behind Generation; Damion and
RokDaZone (ex Infect) formed Endzeit, and took graphician Noogman with them.
Musician Virgill (04/95-) joined Haujobb. The further scene careers of
starmembers Azure (Tim Boeschke, code, doublememb Bizarre Arts, 11/95-),
Tron (Bastian Zuehlke, code, ex Sanity, new 01/95-) and Fiver2 (Thomas
Mahlke, gfx, doublememb Bizarre Arts, ex TRSI, 12/95-) remains uncertain.

Swedish coder Scout (doublememb C-Lous [details], new late96) left the
  group in late 97 or early 98 to join The Black Lotus - and become a
  scene-inactive game coder!
The German ex-members of Matrix, graphician Nero (Rainer Mhr), coder
  Sharon (Oliver Belaifa) and coder-musician Skyphos (Marco Thrusch) all
  decided to leave Artwork, and restart their old group Matrix on the PC.
German coder Detector (Holger Luemkemann, ex Platin, new 11/94-01/97) has
  left the scene. He will be best remembered for his code for the diskmag
  "Generation", which is still being used even though the mag is now a part
  of Endzeit!
German graphician jMS (ex DCS, 08/96) got kicked late 96!.
Italian writer The Ripper (Ivan Curzolo, ex Da Press, new 06/96) left, and
  is considering his position in the scene (12/96).
German coder Axis (02/96) left to form a group of his own late 96.
Lenny Dee joined briefly from Illusion, only to leave the scene a few days
  later (FRC1).

 Greenday (1995, 23.04, AGA Multifile, 3 disks).
  code: Tron, Crash/Polka Brothers, gfx: Fiver/TRSI, Noogman (logo), music:
  "Final Amelotatism" by Virgill.
  Winner of the Black Box Symposium 95 demo competition!
  review: DEMO OF THE YEAR, and a hell of show from the Germans in their
  first ever production...amazing! Lots of goodlooking effects are on
  offer, and this time that means phong-shaded toruses, a texturemapped
  cube combined with a stretching zoomrotator (and then the zoom-rotator's
  also mapped on two sides of the cube!!), voxel landscape, and a spacecut
  texture mapped cube. The tune is not quite up to Virgill's best,
  especially the jazz shit that accompanies the voxels are out of place.
  However, an AMAZING picture by Fiver almost makes up for the shortcomings
  the soundtrack has in places. The picture is called "Green Trash", it
  depicts a human wrapped in black plastic, and came 2nd in the graphics
  competition at the same party!
    Please note that I tested an incomplete distribution, and that there's
  even more to this demo than what I've outlined! Artwork was back one year
  later, and won the Symposium compo for the second time in a row with
  "The Gate". Please read the excellent 'making of' article in ROM4.
  According to this article, the demo does NOT require a HD, but can be
  run from floppy - my butchered distribution didn't give an indication of
  this! I'd be VERY happy to receive a proper distribution.

Dawn (1995, 28.12, AGA 4k Intro).
  code: Azure, gfx: none, music: none.
  Winner of The Party 5 4k intro competition!
  review: Certainly impressive for a 4k intro, Dawn set new standards for
  the genre. Just some of the things featured are: Phong shading, moving
  light source, environment mapping, environment glenz motion blur,
  morphing, and voxelspace. Quite a list for a 4k intro :)
    A few months later it was re-released, with music, and won the
  Symposium 40k competition!

  code: Azure, Crash/Polka Brothers (intro), gfx: Fiver, music: SMT
  (The Player 6.1A format). Winner of The Party 5 40k intro competition!
  Cooperation with Polka Brothers.
  review: This is one impressive intro! There are lots of great-looking
  phong shaded objects on offer here, and most are a little more
  imaginative than the standard donut variety. Several also offer extras,
  like an 'afterburner' effect and transparency. Around the middle of the
  intro there's a full-screen picture (2x2). This picture is a redrawing of
  the album cover for Mercyful Fate's "Don't Break The Oath" album. The pic
  is then waved, like a flag in the wind. The next new routine is the most
  impressive one, though. We're talking about a high resolution texture
  mapped phong-shaded elastic donut that looks FABULOUS! The show is
  finished off with an effect that's a little hard to describe, but I
  think transparent phong pulse explosions is about as close as you get.
  The music is excellent throughout.
    In june 1997, Azure released version 1.1, which fixes some problems
  on 040/060 machines, and fixes the classic The Player 6.1A bugs.

  review: After this there can be no doubt - Chaos is dead, long live
  Azure and Tron. Artwork won the Symposium for the second year in a row
  with this demo - brimming with good-looking, advanced effects! It opens
  with an interpolated voxel landscape with the credits overlayed, and the
  powerful opening tune which creates a great 'heavy demo' atmosphere.
  There's a lot of bumpmapping effects in this demo, from a lightsourced
  zooming bumped tunnel to a lightsourced bumped cube. There's also a
  graphicszoomer that's quite similar to the one TBL later used in their
  Gathering'97 winning demo "Captured Dreams". There's also some different
  mapping stuff, with the metal-env-mapped (?) head and the cube with the
  protrouding face the highlights. Need I go on? The music is great, the
  graphics are great, and it's quite simply a BIG demo - in every sense of
  the word. Download NOW!
    The endtune, "Opium" by Virgill, competed in the music competition at
  the same party. Some information leads me to believe there is a special
  version of 'THE GATE' for the Graffitti videocard...can anyone confirm
  that this is so?

 Dawn.remix (1996, 07.04, AGA 40k Intro).
  code: Azure, gfx: none, music: The Loop.
  Winner of Symposium 96 40k intro competiton!
  review: Certainly technically impressive, this remix of the originally 4k
  intro Dawn is very very good. This time around, the shapes are env-mapped
  and sometimes afterburned, like in Creep. The music is cool also, and
  suits the intro beautifully. I like this, small as it is. The reason
  there's no entry for graphician above is that there is none.
  Included in the archive is a 1x1 version of the original Dawn.
    Will work on standard A1200's, but recommends fast and acceleration.

 Phi (1996, 06.07, AGA 4MB 64k Intro).
  code: Azure, Tron, gfx: Fiver, music: SMT.
  2nd in the South Sealand Party 96 intro competition.
  review: Phi, the best intro of 1996, opens with sign of some sort and a
  progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When the progress bar reaches
  its end, the show starts...and what a show! To fabulous trancy music by
  SMT (one of his best tunes EVER) we're treated to one of the best intros
  since Virtual Dreams won at The Party 93 with "Chaosland"!
    Azure and Tron have managed to squeeze more demo power out of 64k here
  than most people are able to in megs! With a couple of pictures thrown
  in, I'd vote this among the best DEMOS of 1996, for crying out loud!
  The intro features some of the fastest envmapping I've ever seen on the
  Amiga, and then some! There's also morphing objects, a fabulous bump-
  mapping-cum-plasma routine, and some voxelspace stuff that's quite cool.
  The intro ends with a sole image of a bleeding heart.
    The accompanying text file mentions it uses ALL of the 4mb fast it
  requires, so if you (like me) use 512k of your fast to map the kickstart
  to, you won't be able to run Phi on a 4mb fast only setup. Believe me,
  I've tried :) In june 1997, Azure released version 1.1, which adds a
  special custom 040/060 c2p routine, and fixes the classic The Player 6.1A
  replayer bugs.

 Efrafa (1996, 02.02, AGA HD Multifile Slideshow).
  code: Tron, gfx: Fiver, music: Virgill.
  review: Efrafa comes across as a very SMOOTH slideshow, much thanks to
  Fiver's very clean style. Let me just say this first: Fiver _IS_ one of my
  favourite graphics artists, so if my review seems influenced by this in
  any way, then...that's because it is! :) Hehe... No, seriously: The show
  opens with a clean EFRAFA logo, before the screen scrolls down to the
  selection menu. Here you can choose between the different pictures with
  your mouse (and see info about them by pressing rmb), or access some brief
  info pages. There really isn't that much to say about EFRAFA, it just does
  its job of showing these great pictures, and not much else... Sonics are
  nice too, but then again we are talking about Virgill here... :)
    The pictures are... Flight (32c, unreleased), Under Control (32c,
  unreleased), Infiltration (64c, unreleased), Under A Blood Red Sky (256c,
  unreleased), No More Secrets 2 (64c, unreleased), Fish Food (128c, The
  Party 94), Yoichi (128c, from Artwork's "Greenday" [04/95]), Virgill
  Dreams (128c, unreleased), Champagne Supernova (256c, unreleased),
  Efjucikay (128c, used in Generation), Kodak (256c, used in Artwork's "The
  Gate" [04/96]), In The Kitchen 2000 (256c, unreleased) - 12 pictures in
  all. Not all pictures are topquality (In the Kitchen...) but those that
  are, are so great they'd be worth the download time ALONE (No More Secrets
  2, Kodak, Yoichi...) Get this, ARTWORK QUALITY all the way!

  Generation issue #22 (1996, .10, AGA HD Multifile Diskmag).

 Generation issue #23 (1997, .01, AGA HD Multifile Diskmag).
  code: Detector, gfx: Spiv/Infect (title), Cougar (main), Nero (clip),
  Skyphos (clip), RokDaZone (fonts), music: "Tired Eyes" by Azazel/TBL, "A
  Night At The Bar" by Virgill/ESC^ATW, Editor: RokDaZone.
  review: It opens nicely, with Spiv's "Casual Insane" picture from The
  Party 96 (70th!) graphics competition - not half bad. It shows what I
  guess must be the open, staring eyes of some alien child... Unusual and
  nicely executed, Spiv! The panel by Cougar is also a feast for the eyes,
  so graphically there's not much wrong with Generation. This issue has two
  modules from wellknown scene VIS, but none of them are outstanding in any
  way... I guess this comes down to taste, but I feel these two can do a lot
  better than this!
    One thing that bugs me a little is the sometime dark palette choices
  for some of the articles. It's a far cry from the light, happy colors of
  ROM! I guess I'm just not used to reading on a black background...
  Another thing that irritates me slightly is that the text does not
  scroll, like it has in most other good magazines since about...oh, 1992?
  I suppose it's a small complaint, but it's got a lot to do with the way
  the magazine 'feels' like to handle. Thankfully, it multitasks just as
  happily as ROM does, making things like writing this review a doodle :).
    Contentwise, there's a lot of stuff from The Party 6 this time, as can
  be expected. I also found the article from the Atari show interesting, as
  it's not the kind of thing you usually find in an Amiga diskmagazine.
  Overall, though, the writing here is of a disappointing quality. I guess
  we've all been spoilt rotten by ROM - the diskmag standard to which all
  others are held. With some polishing, a LOT better layour for the
  articles and a brigther display, Generation could be a winner...

  Winner of the Mekka Symposium 97 demo competition!
  review: Unfortunately, after seeing this demo - which is above average,
  don't get me wrong - is disappointment. I had just seen the third-placer
  demo "Thug Life" by Essence, and was thinking 'any demo that can beat
  this is worth watching'. The problem is perhaps more in the fact that
  Azure has made SO MANY demos like this - it's got his fingerprints all
  over it. Azure is one of the best - if not THE best - coders out there,
  and he's technnically brilliant. However, he does not have that much
  ORIGINALITY in him. And when he releases two demos so close together, it
  is perhaps inevitable that they will resemble each other. This is a
  technically excellent demo, but doesn't EXCITE me. After seeing the demo,
  I'm afraid I must conclude that Artwork won this competition as much on
  name as they did on content.
    "MIV" marks Artworks fourth consecutive victory at the Symposium, and
  means they've certainly earned a place in the history books. It's just
  sad that the demo that does it is their weakest so far. The demo has been
  tested on 8MB fast machines only, but the text file mentions that it may
  work on 4MB machines too - it's just never been tested.
  030-50 recommended.

  Megademo (ECS Trackloaded Megademo).


Avalanche

again. Their best members; Keo (music), Hoaxer and Big Red joined Fraxion.

 Out of Time (ECS Trackmo).
  review: This starts loading, showing a picture by Typhoon. When it's done
  loading it crashes. Caches off/original chipset does not do any good.
 GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0 -- Note: See review!

 40k Intro (1993, 28.12, ECS 40k Intro).
  code: Aragorn, gfx: Typhoon (font), Cujo (raytrace), music: Typhoon.
  Split 19th in The Party 93 40k intro competition.
  review: Nothing exceptional immediately springs to mind, but this is not
  a bad intro. It certainly didn't deserve 19th place! I guess the fact
  that they're relatively unknown might have a lot to do with that...
  Anyway, some ok executed effects here, though they could perhaps have
  spared themselves the 'perilous alien' animation.
GLE tested A500 /000-7 /mb chip, mb fast/2.04.

  code: Mr.Z, gfx: Citizen, music: "Grimstad by Night" by The Strangler (4ch
  MOD format).
  review: Ok, first of all: the raster bars were not coded by Mr.Z!!
  The routine was coded by Nosferatu/Razor 1911, and published in a
  Norwegian computer magazine! I remember typing it in myself, to see the
  effect, and I remember the text string that was embedded (in hex, so you
  wouldn't see it when you typed it in, only in memory). Therefore; using
  other people's routines and claiming they are your own is LAME! Avoid.

----------------
GER> Phantom (swap, 02/89).

Axis [old] (-1992)
------------------
HOL> Danny (gfx, later TBL, 04/92).
???> Fresh (gfx, old handle Roxis).

The original incarnation of Axis was once the best group on the Dutch
scene, until it fell apart. They received a reorganization in late 91, but
it wasn't enough to save the group and it died in early to late 1992.
Most members formed a new group called Freestyle. Two years later, Axis was
reborn.

When Axis finally died, coder Crackerjack (ex Vision, 07/91) joined Mirage,
  and the rest of the old members formed a new group called Freestyle.
Dutchmen Claxon, Steroid and Magician Lord joined Desire at the Prime 91
  party, but only stayed for a few hours. Claxon and Steroid rejoined Axis,
  while Magician Lord opted to stay independent. Later, after Axis died,
  they all joined the new group Freestyle!
Dutch swapper Kr'33 (ex Sanctuary) joined Sanity with his famous pack
  'Femur Bundle' 09/92.
Mace was kicked out.
Liberator left Axis, and probably the scene due to lack of time early92.
  However, he was back in the reborn Axis two years later!
Dartagnan changed his handle to Mop and joined Coma mid 91. Ofcourse, Mop
  would rise to the top of the diskmag pile - first with "McDisk" in Coma
  and later Alcatraz, then with one issue of "Compass" for Alcatraz, before
  taking on the helm of today's best magazine; Essence's "R.O.M".
King Dragon, Xotic, Double Dutch and Antibody got kicked.

  review: Minimal but mighty. There are some mean shaded toruses here -
