H= and your age is?
F= 15 years old.
H= what's YOUR job in LIGHT?
F= i'm coding and swapping.
H= in how many groups have you
   been in, and what's their
   name?
F= it's 4 ones. first it was a
   group called MICRO SERVICE.
   that was the time i coded in
   basic.. after that i joined
   a group called TITAN. well,
   i didn't stay there to long,
   so i joined TRIAD. after
   releasing some demos for them
   i left and joined LIGHT,
   and where i still am.
H= how many members are there in
   LIGHT and what's their name?
F= there's 6 of them named:
   WACO, GOBLIN, RASH, ICECUBE,
   SHADE and ME.
H= who found the name LIGHT?
F= i think i was goblin.
H= when did you bought your 64?
F= in the end of 1986.
H= how did you got the interest
   to start coding?
F= i read the manual and started
   to CODE in BASIC three days
   after i got my computer. one
   of the reasons is that i
   didn't know anyone who had
   this marvellous computer.
   in SUMMER'88 i started to
   code in machine language.
H= when did you got famous?
F= first it was not so many who
   know who i was, but with the
   time i got more and more
   wellknown. nearly all the
   swedes know who i am.
H= what's YOUR future plans?
F= i will continue computing
   until it get's boring.
H= who is your best PALS on
   the scene?
F= the lighters...
H= who is THE BEST CODER?
F= i don't really know, but i
   like KJER's mathematics
   calculations.
H= THE BEST GRAPHIXER?
F= well i don't know really,
   but i think it's the guys who
   besides drawing logos and
   fonts makes ALL KINDS of
   pictures like: girls, land-
   scape etc.
H= and THE BEST MUSICAN?
F= well, i think it's
   MANIACS OF NOISE.
H= how many HOURS a DAY do you
   spend computing?
F= i don't compute that much.
   some hours in the weekends
   and when i don't have some-
   thing to do.
H= what do you think about the
   scene novadays?
F= i think it's a petty that
   some GOOD guys leaves for the
   AMIGA. and i think it's goin
   forwand but VERY SLOW!
H= what do you think about
   cracking?
F= i think it's boring. i will
   not start to crack myself
   but if someone didn't do it
   you couldn't get games,
   'cause who want's to buy a
   game for 150 SKR.
H= that's ofcoz'. well, what do
   you think about the LAMIGA?
F= i don't gonna buy one, 'cause
   i don't have the strength to
   learn how the machine works
   as i did with the C64!
H= aren't LIGHT gonna do a MAG?
F= when JEDI was a member of our
   group, we thought about it
   but when he LEFT due to some
   problems we haven't plan
   anything.
H= in YOUR OWN oppinion, wich is
   the BEST DISC-MAGAZINE?
F= i don't really know. i think
   it's SEX'N'CRIME, but i don't
   like their DEMOGROUP list.
   and i also think that there's
   too many mags right now.
H= what about HOTSHOT then?
F= i think the scrollers in the
   intro is abit strange but the
   REST IS OK.
H= who is the BIGGEST asshole?
F= i don't know because i don't
   know one.
H= please describe A LAMER?
F= it's a guy who think he
   can code.
H= now some questions BESIDE
   THE COMPUTER. what are you
   doin' on your sparetime?
F= looking at vi---SPA---ISSUE 2
   my friends.
H= do you have a GIRLFRIEND?
F= NO...
H= what is your FAVOURITE:
   FOOD     = spagetti
   MOVIE    = don't know.
   COUNTRY  = some sunny place
   MAGAZINE = larsson
   GAME     = last ninja
   MUSIC    = nothin' special.
   SPORT    = ishockey
   ANIMAL   = nothin' special.
H= what makes you HAPPY/ANGRY?
F= the thing that makes me ANGRY
   is when the demolists is
   SO FUCKED UP i can't belive
   it myself! and the thing that
   makes me HAPPY is when people
   likes what you do, and when
   your high voted on the lists!
H= do you got any ENEMIES?
F= no, i try to avoid to gjt
   ones...
H= and now as the final and the
   most used question. what
   should you bring to a desert
   island?
F= a BOAT to row home with,
   a_GIRL and some FOOD.

  CORRUPTION/ACTUAL TRADING G.
 ______________________________

first of all you can see a quite
cool intro coded by spc with zak
by maniacs of noise and some
nice graphics by some dude!
(not mentioned!)
well, the mag haves a quite cool
layout! some new ideas indeed!
the things you can edit is:
EDITORIAL, NEWS & RUMOURS,
CHARTS, INTERVIEW, REPORTS, SEX-
STORY, WANTED and REACTIONS.
the sadest thing is the SEX-
STORY. i think you guys should
find something else to write!!
the storys are NOT funny to
read, and they are nothing of
interest... exept the sex-story
the mag is worth voting on
(and so i did!).
WELL, GOOD WORK DUDES!

 ratings: 79 percent out of 100


          MIRAGE/UNION
         ______________

another one of 'these' mags. i
say: poor layout with a cool
logo! you choose between:
NEWS & RUMOURS, INTERVIEW,
CHARTS, ADRESSES, EDITORIAL,
REACTIONS, GAME REVIEWS and
LAST MINUTE. these thing are
qiute good... when you have
choosen the thing you wanted
it will load a new screen.
it looks COOL!!

magazine, but it's cool to read!

 ratings: 62 percent out of 100


  SEX'N'CRIME/AMOK CODING DEP.
 ______________________________

well what can u say?
this magazine is absolutley the
BEST one!
first there's a cool intro coded
by CHRIS with graphics by SCRAP,
and music by DEEK.
when you edit the mag, you'll
a brilliant layout with a cool
logo by HEIN DESIGN/DIART and
music by JESPER OLSEN/AMOK.
you can edit the helpscreen by
pressing 'H'. in there you can
find some very useful things.
1. enter the mailbox
2. printer menu
3. sequence hunter
   (searches for a word.)
4. fullscreens scroller

the only thing i can complain on
is: if you press 1-0 and keeps
the key down the 1-0 marks will

t h e  B E S T !

 ratings: 96 percent out of 100


       ARS PUPLICA/CROSS

among the BEST!

          GAME REVIEWS

________________________________




 well, we all know that in the
  BEGINNING of this year there
  were only released SHIT-GAMES
  from the SOFTWARE COMPANIES!
 i also thought that the ruling
 C-64 was going to get a BITTER
 DEATH... but then i was WRONG,
   and i'm sure i was not the
 only one either...  it really
   seems like the software
  companies have got their ASS
     IN SPEED, finally!
 so, this time i'm really PROUD
 of PRESENTING some REVIEWS on
   some very POPULAR GAMES...
          HERE WE GO...
--------------------------------
         1. HAMMERFIST

 well, i've always meant that
 the 'LAST NINJA 2' is the best
 game ever made on the C-64,
 but yesterday i and my friend
 ( scorpie of hoaxers ) decided
 to PLAY this game. after i had
 played some minutes i became
 so FUCKING IMPRESSED, and the
 game is the BEST GAME i've EVER
 played!!!!  NO DOUBT!!!!
    the graphic and playability
 is the BEST i've ever seen on
 a game, and the music is very
 GOOD aswell.  the point in the
 game is to DESTROY the SECURITY
 system at the different STAGES,
 and at the last stage you have
 to destroy the big 'BRAIN' who
 has made all the WICKEDNESS in
 the game...  the 'THE END'-
 screen is like i've always WAN-
 TED a 'the end'-screen TO BE.
    the programming is very good
 and the game contains a lot of
 WELL-MADE SPRITES.
    YOU ALL ought to PLAY this
 MARVELLOUS GAME!!

             GRAPHICS:     100p.
             SOUND:         86p.
             PLAYABILITY:   92p.
             CODE:          95p.
             IN ALL:        93P.

 THANK to BOD OF I+T for sending
 me this GAME.
--------------------------------
         2. IMPOSSAMOLE

 well, this game i a NICE game
 too.  the JOYSTICK control is
 a little bit BAD some places,
 but that DOES NOT really mat-
 ter anyway. it was a little
 problem to figure out what the
 point is in the game, but i
 think it is the same as in
 HAMMERFIST. the graphic is not
 so very IMPRESSING, but i like
 the MUSIC! the 'the end' screen
 was bad, and the last battle
 was an EASY FIGHT...   the game
 reminds me about giana sisters
 and the cool game called rick
 dangerous, and it's PRETTY
 FUNNY!

             GRAPHICS:      58p.
             SOUND:         82p.
             PLAYABILITY:   56p.
             CODE:          45p.
             IN ALL:        60P.

 THANK to DAMIEN OF GENESIS P.
 for sending me this GAME.
--------------------------------
    3. OPERATION THUNDERBOLT

 this game reminds me about OPE-
 RATION WOLF!! the graphic is
 not to boast about, but the
 CODE is NOT so very BAD. the
 playability is MISERABLE!!
 anyway the game is WORTH to
 PLAY...   the point is to KILL
 as many MEN as possible ( i
 think! ) !!  DON'T buy it...

             GRAPHICS:      35p.
             SOUND:         52p.
             PLAYABILITY:   31p.
             CODE:          58p.
             IN ALL:        44P.

 THANK to ANTITRACK OF COSMOS
 for sending me this GAME.
--------------------------------
           4. HOTROD

 this game is a pretty GOOD one.
 the graphical INTRODUCTION is
 very COOL, and also with DIGI-
 TIZED music!  the game has got
 a nice playability and graphic
 aswell.
    the point in this game is to
 WIN the race ( oh?! ), and you
 are able to BUY things which
 IMPROVE the car and make it
 better!  when i played the game
 i had some problems in the
 beginning, but after some hard
 PRACTICE i finally became a
 GOOD DRIVER!!  this game is
 worth its PRICE!!

             GRAPHICS:      77p.
             SOUND:         75p.
             PLAYABILITY:   60p.
             CODE:          56p.
             IN ALL:        67P.

 THANK to BOD OF I+T for sending
 me this GAME.
--------------------------------
         5. DANDARE III

 dandare is a very COOL game!
 and i really think this game is
 the COOLEST of the three
 dandare games which have been
 RELEASED. i'm sure i'm not the
 only one eiter...
    the graphic is very good, so
 is the gameplay aswell!!
 the sound is also pretty good.
    i had not so very much time
 to play this game, but my first
 IMPRESSION was that this game
 is WORTH its PRICE!! try it!!

             GRAPHICS:      91p.
             SOUND:         78p.
             PLAYABILITY:   83p.
             CODE:          65p.
             IN ALL:        79P.

 THANK to DAMIEN OF GENESIS P.
 for sending me this GAME.
--------------------------------
         6. SONIC BOOM

 eh... well... this game is PURE
 CRAP!!!!  the graphic is bad,
 the sound is bad and the play-
 ability was bad!
    personally i prefer BLUEMAX
 instead of this game.

             GRAPHICS:      32p.
             SOUND:         39p.
             PLAYABILITY:   38p.
             CODE:          56p.
             IN ALL:        41P.

 THANK to CURSE OF ATG for send-
 ing me this GAME.
--------------------------------

 EVALUATING of those GAMES.

 MORE than FAIR!!  if you DON'T
