________________________________________
ONSLAUGHT has been headlining not only
PROPAGANDA, but also other magazines
throughout 1995. They have been rocket-
ing the charts for proving a competitive
waresgroup, and widely debated for their
appearance throughout the market. Today
the spark has faded slightly. Intensity
is quite not as obvious as before and
releases have failed to appear. It may
very be a temporary phase, since JAZZ-
CAT says "a lot can be expected from
ONSLAUGHT during 1996". We look at their
future, and hope for the noisemaking
artillery to continue.

 SILENCE IN ONSLAUGHT RIGHT NOW
________________________________________
It is clear ONSLAUGHT is lacking cards,
and have not quite been up to the job
stateside just recently. It became cru-
cial at one point, where BIZARRE as re-
porter for the popular magazine VANDA-
LISM NEWS as well as runner for ON-
SLAUGHT was busted for a very incautious
move. Having called with a national PBX,
problems were not far away. Today he
is facing fees of some 2O.OOO dollars.
Editor of VANDALISM NEWS, VENGEANCE has
not been spotted in public either, but
JAZZCAT has promised the awaited issue
of the VANDALISM NEWS to be out fairly
soon.

   |"VENGEANCE WILL BE MOVING IN AT|
   | MY HOUSE, AND WILL BE MORE    |
   | ACTIVE THEN."                 |

 I
 INCREASED LEGAL ACTIVITIES
________________________________________
Hoping to do more impact on the legal
scene, 0NSLAUGHT announce they will
show great interest in their demosec-
tion. Their much rumoured demo is being
developed by J0LZ, while names like
DEEKAY and SHADES are involved on a
smaller level. The demo has been very
delayed, mainly caused by a lack of
graphics, but JAZZCAT promises "expect
the unexpected!", and leaves room for
both suspicion and curisotity.


 D
 DOMINATION, DELAYED BUT EXPANDING
________________________________________
A big problem for JAZZCAT'S independant
production DOMINATION has been getting
out the magazine on a regular basis.
Editing the magazine singlehandedly,
there are many hours of hard work put
in behind each issue. JAZZCAT estimates
he will be expanding his staff, that
can specialize on various fields to
phase the problem out. Maintaining the
objectivity, is not a problem says JAZZ-
CAT as comments 1996 to PROPAGANDA.

 E
 EXPANDING STAFF AGAIN
________________________________________
To make the staff more competitve, some

recruitments have been made. UNHOLY, who
still will remain in the inactive fixing
group DEMONIX teamed up stateside, and
will occassionally be seen working on
fixes. However, having put his more
active years into the 64, UNHOLY is
clearly focusing on his company, selling
consoles and belonging equipment on the
American market. KINLEY from the un-
known PARADOX was reinforced to expand
the crackinga and supplying era, while
GRAFEE indeed may be interesting, a
Polish supplier who also coded the
intro for INGENIOUS BRAIN. Recruiting
staff in Poland, ONSLAUGHT are also con-
sidered as a threat, among the many
other groups, who have realized the
value of the East-european market.




 W    I                 S
 WEAK INTERNET-SUPPORT. SO FAR AT LEAST.
________________________________________
Netwise, ONSLAUGHT is to be considered
one of the weakest groups. Support is
very vague, and presence on the FTPs as
well as the IRC is as good as none. How-
ever, JAZZCAT claims activities will
increase immensly during 1996. Following
other groups comes natuarlly, where all
competetive groups urging for releases
have to take part of the new race. In
general, getting accounts for many of
the members is the first step towards
the net-society, but an FTP should not
be an impossibility for a group like
ONSLAUGHT. 1996 will tell.

________________________________________
The Dutchbased cooperation is in clear
focus for the entire market, keeping in
mind that the most awaited party of the
year, X96 is closing in. Releasewise,
however, the group has not quite been
living up to old merits, and at times
presence has been fairly vague. A new
section from the Czech Republic kicked
of the new year, a new Hungarian FTP
and a new, strict organization still
leaves hope high. With THE DUNGEON com-
ing back up in the not too far distant,
one can only hope glory days will shine
again.



 F
 FIRST GROUP OUT IN NEW MARKET
________________________________________
As the first of established groups, TRC
and SCS gained members in the Czech Rep-
ublic. BACILLUS and NECROMANTIC who both
come from CITADEL will be representing
the section. With a new market, it is
clear many other groups will follow.
Pioneering on the field, TRC*SCS has
established a valuable source to get
hold of interesting new software, as
well as opened new doors. "WE NEED SOME
NEW BLOOD IN THE GROUP TO MAKE THINGS
GO FURTHER", says a very pleased CBA
and takes his time to point out how
active and productive the new section
is when PROPAGANDA confronts him.



 TRC SCS
 TRC*SCS NETS FURTHER
________________________________________
Since STAKE decided to leave ONSLAUGHT
behind, his effort for TRC*SCS has
grown quickly. Netwise, he is now re-
sponsible for the new FTP MOUNT TOKAY
in Hungary. TRC*SCS who already main-
tain the dominating FTP DIGITAL DUNGEON
further strengthen their situation on
the net, and decide to share MOUNT TOKAY
with MOTIV8.

 O
 ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
________________________________________
Following the big structual movement
earlier this year, TRC*SCS has been
working hard to get the organization

slim. "ONCE OUR ORGANIZATION IS 100%
PERFECT AS  I WANT IT TO BE, THEN YOU
CAN EXPECT A LOT OF GOOD THINGS COMING
YOUR WAY.", says CBA as the group says
farewell to inactive CASE, CAVRON,
CRUZE, DANNIE, GUZZLER, JITY, JRC,
MR.DISK and MISTRY.

 THE REVENGE AGAINST F4CG
________________________________________
One interesting incident has also been
taking place concerning releases. Early
this year F4CG released the firstrelease
of BOMBEL together with AVANTGARDE.
Supplied by MAJA, the game was a normal
disk-filler while SPLATTERHEAD, one of
the many suppliers behind TRC*SCS was
furious at the fact. Jumping NEWSCOPY



in public on the IRC, he accused F4CG
for backstabbing TRC*SCS and the pro-
ducers of the game using the serious
CHERRY SOFTWARE. The story is particul-
ary interesting since the authour of the
game provided MAJA with the game, with
a clear sign that releasing was ok.
Neither NEWSCOPY or CHERRY SOFTWARE were
ever approached concerning the game.
TRC*SCS were quick to respond, doing so
by releasing ON ICE from NEMESIS PRO-
DUCTIONS. Being the budgetcompany of
CHERRY SOFTWARE, the game was still not
sold or paid for. Groups like F4CG,
HITMEN and AVANTGARDE sat startled, who
were all sitting on the game waiting
for sales to go through. TRC*SCS were
clear in their focus, and claimed it


was nothing but revenge against NEWSCOPY
for putting out BOMBEL - a game he had
no interest or knowledge in, whatsoever.
One of the salescontracts was closed
because of the incident.

 F
 FINALLY BACK ONLINE
________________________________________
THE DUNGEON-episode is an ongoing head-
line in all magazines currently. The
popular board is finally going back on-
line within the next 2 weeks. THE ALCH-
EMIST should have solved all problems
and paid his bills. THE DUNGEON will as
before be running for both TRC*SCS and
HITMEN, just like THE MYSTICAL PARADISE,
that just recently followed the the
American, and apperently successful
concept.
