New page

==facing the reality==
<pre>

welcome to another brand new issue of
fatal news. this is actually the 12th
issue since i started around 1989. a lot
has changed and will apparently never
turn out to be like it used to be. the
staff of fatal news has increased to
three persons. after have been doing
eleven issues in a row, and solo, i'm
quite tired of this. WISEGUY and
RICHARD will take care of the charts,
news'n'rumours, yellow pages and part
time also abnormal life. i myself will
keep to the traditional chapters like
this one. remember that my task is not
to compete with other magasines but to
entertain all readers with interesting
reading. well i wont deny that i enjoy

writting in english. in matter of fact
i'm planning to be a journalist. in this
issue you'll find a memorium, some facts
of life(this time the army.) and peoples
voice. this last one will be something
that you'll choose, your corner to react
on one thing and another. to be honest,
i haven't choosen what it'll contain.
i don't know how often fatal news will
come out as i'm still in the army and
have two months left, and as it doesn't
leave much time over i don't know. i'm
not so lucky like some other people that
just had to do their military service
for one and a half month (dr.cool?).this
is due to the goverments cut down on the
swedish defence. by the way, if you have

any personal problems then you can turn
to me. WHY? well i'm quite good at
solving other peoples problems. try me
on love problems! that's the easiest one
for me. if you care to ask something
about our beautiful country sweden, then
do it! as i don't know your interest in
this column i'll stop now. if you enjoy
all these then i'll increase it. but
until i know i wont waste time on
something that maybe is read by none.
our adress is still: fatal news,XXX XXXX
X XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX

until then:

he is always picking on me and telling

to pick on. please tell me what to do,

send me to the cops.

==peoples voice==
<pre>

PEOPLES VOICE
****************************************

this will PROBABLY be a column for all
readers stuff. i feel sorry to say that
i doubt that you'll fill this up. if you
by all means should do it, then i'll
keep it like this. otherwise i'll change
this column for some other but much
better purpose. to be straight with you,
i must say that i don't know much about
what's going on in the scene. one thing
is for shore and that is that most of
the old guys have quitted. this doesn't
suprise me cause the scene is nearly
dead. the ones that still belive on the

c64 will soon get their shock. a legend
that long survived past it's competitors
. the spectrum nor the atari reached the
limits that the c64 did. i guess that
no computer has ever attracted so many
youngsters like the c64. i myself
started around 1987, but i had the c64
allready 1984. i have always been in
touch with the ELITE scene, i don't mean
that i've always been elite. my big
brother used to be in an elite group
around 1985. the group was called the
GOONIES. this group was the one that
turned out to be defjam on amiga. and
this gives me the only conclusion, it
was better before your days.
GO ON! hit joy!

i must disappoint you all that still
belive that i'm a member of censor,
i'm not.

==facts of life==
<pre>

facts of life is also a new corner but
as you se the old review logo. this will
be a rather deep corner, i'll tell you
stories of life and things that i've
archived through personal experiences.
you might wonder why i've been away for
such a long time. the question is that
i'm doing my military service. and as no
other thing comes to my mind, i'll tell
you a little about this unit of the
swedish defence system. the examples i
give on things we are supposed to do are
not things that have happened in real
life, but things we are trained for to
do.

ok let's go on then.

the 14th squadron
****************************************

main purposes of our training:

* defend the swedish goverment against
any anti-democratic attack.

* protect important people that visits
our country.

* be able to track up submarines and
foreign buissness on swedish land.

* be able to take any psychical reverse.

this are the main tasks of the 14th
squadron. some facts about our first
weeks. the first day we came there, they
treated us quite nice. at 12.00 clock
we had lunch. it was no ordinary lunch,
it was an army lunch. a seargeant
screaming that we had ten minutes to eat
our food. after lunch we had to run to
pick up all our army equipment. and run
back with the equipment (that's allmost
50 kg's). we were stunned. two weeks
followed with lunch and dinner together
with cleaning on ten minutes. sleeping
outside, not in tents. we where on our
way to feel better the third week when
we where allowed to sleep in tents.after
three days of normal forest life on our

way back. we walked 20 km's with 35 kg's
on our backs (not counting the weight
of our gun). when we returned half dead
our captain comes out screaming that
the russians have taken our rooms and
that we have to flee to the woods. damn,
do you think we where angry? we had to
run through a river and finally stayed
in a marsch. there we had to hide from
the russians and sleep in the wet. and
we didn't get any dinner. the day passed
, the morning came and we where glad to
come back and be able to sleep inside
again. we thought that this must be the
hardest thing we would ever do. three
weeks later we learned that this was a
very dumb conclusion. in the start of

september we where going out again, gosh
the cold autum was here, with winds and
rain. we where going to sleep in tents
for the second time. we put up our tents
and it was time for lunch, but no food
came. they told us that the people in
the kitchen had messed up so we wouldn't
be able to eat anything until dinner.
they told us we where going to train
patrol until the dinner arrived.suddenly
they told us on the radio that dinner
was served, we where so fucking happy.
when we where approaching our camp over
a field, it said booom! our captain told
us that enemy artillery was attacking us
and that we had to flee to the woods.
those explosives really scared the shit

out of us. we had to sit and wait in the
woods for four hours until another army
unit came with two patrol boats. it was
cold, think your self in a uniform
that doesn't give you any warm feelings
at all. our platoon had to pass a lake
to get to swedens most important airport
. we passed it with a lot of hard work.
we weren't allowed to make any fire so
we FROZE like hell. at dawn we had to
go forward again. it was my turn to have
the radio on my back, 20 kg's more.after
one hour of walk i started to talk on
the radio. my chief grabbed the radio
very quickly as he is the only one
allowed to talk on the radio. when he
grabbed the radio he heard that none was

on. i was drown to a camp to rest for
one day, but still no food given to me.
after freezing the shit out of me and
going around laughing about a bike and
not knowing what a bike was. that night
several guys saw hallucinations. me too.
i went to a fire to warm me up a bit,
when i turned i saw a huge wall infront
of me, i hesitated but turned to another
direction, where i found a glass wall.
i rubbed my eyes, and it was gone. i was
scared, i thought i had went mad. the
officials just laughed and shiped me out
in the woods again, where i met my
platoon mates.

the story continues in issue 13! JOHN

==memorium==
<pre>

hi and welcome to MEMORIUM. to make your
confusion a bit lighter i'll explain the
significant of this chapter. this used
to be the interview corner (you notice
the old logo) but since LORIEN/defjam
didn't get a special memorium, i decided
to give one for him after only have been
mentioning him.

* his real name was PETRUS, he was 20
years old. he was studying computers at
the university. he had a promising
future, all was infront of him. petrus
had a part time job at pizza-hut in
stockholm (it's a pizza restaurant.).
most people know him as a superb
graphician on amiga. others might know

from around 1988 when he used to paint
graphics on the c64. he used to be in
a demogroup called YANKEES. you might
remember the other members like: bob,
contring, swallow, euzkera and golem.
lorien did the stunning graphics in all
those yankees demos. back to his part
time job; all jobs have partys for their
staff. currently so did pizza-hut. they
organised one of those cruises to ALAND
, and our friend decided to go with them
. he was happy, one week earlier he had
turned twenty years old. your life is
in it's starting gear. the second night
on this cruise, petrus disappeared! they
looked for him but couldn't find him.
at 5.00 am they found his body on the

harbour. his body temperature was very
low when they found him. he was dead.
thoughts go around that he was brutally
murdered, thrown of the boat. others
belive that he jumped. i belive he was
murdered as he was filled with joy of
life and would never waste it on a very
meaningless jump.
when you lose a friend you notice how
close you live to the edge of death. but
as i'm a beliver i prefer to think that
he still has it good but in heaven. i
didn't know him so well, but still we
had been friends for over 4 years. i
belive that the lost was even deeper for
bob/censor who was his class mate for
over 3 years. as a cause of this, i

learned to know his twin brother, and
it's like he is in him aswell. sometimes
you say loriens name by misstake and
belive that he is there. as an end to
this, let your friends go before all
other things, they are more important
than all the girls you met. they will
always be until you met the women you'll
marry.

this was a dedication to LORIEN,

petrus rest in peace, and hopefully you
succeeded to come to the right place.

JOHN
