Lights, camera - ACTION...

Yes, welcome to another trip into the world of the
wacko Bizman.. Lot's of things happend all the time.
This time I would like to take you on a trip through
various subjects. So grab your gear and let us get
started - Yieee haaaaaahr...

----

Yappa dappa ding dong. I got the feeling that the
previous issue of this magazine shook up quite some
persons in the scene today. Especially my former
group member RRR.

Well what can I say!!! I declared that he was kicked
out of Oxyron. Apperently this isn't true. Hm, strange
Coz I were there when the letter was written to him.
I've tried to get in touch with the Oxy hq, but I have
not succeded so far. I have left messages and sent
them some sendings, but zip.. So I really don't understand what is going on.
I've seen some notes from Timo saying that I might
not understand the German nor the English language
and that should be a part of the explanation. Well so
far I haven't had much problems in that direction.
BUT.. Maybe there has been some kind of mix-up.
Maybe I interpreted his note wrong. Maybe it didn't
mean that I was kicked just because he erased my
name from the memberlist (erhm??) and maybe I was a
bit too pissed off, to see the reality. Well I really do
not know. But I know, that I do feel bad about spreading false rumours. No matter whether the relationship between me and RRR are good or bad, doesn't
make it right to spread lies about eachother. So Timo
if you see this (I think you do!), please accept my
apology for spreading rumours saying that you were
kicked. I still don't want to rag on your,nor do I want
to get into any stupid wars. I got the feeling that it
is the same thing with you. All I really want to, is to
forget all about this stupid incident and continue my
work as I used to. Things got out of hand, and now I
think it's time to put an end to it. So Timo if you have
anything to say/add then please mail it to me and I
will bring it next time - ok!
Still the best of luck to you...

----

Well in the meantime I have talked to Graham/Oxyron
who told me that it was true; RRR wasen't kicked.
But he was told to ask/talk to the rest of the group
before acting in this way.

Ok enough about that.

Well, as said before, then the previous issue shook
up quite some people.

People had claimed for a long time that proportional
upscrollers couldn't be done. As my fellow co-editor
Cupid says: Some even still think that it can not be
done. Well I hope we/Skyhigh has convinced the scene
that it really can be!!!. I am not 100% sure, but I do
think that Skyhigh was the first magazine to bring it
as a standard routine. Still I have heard rumours say
ing that Triad have, or had, a magazine using similar
routines. BUT, I myself hasn't seen this particulary
mag or any other using it. So until someone proves me
wrong I will claim that Skyhigh did it as the no. 1 !!!

As mentioned in the previous issue, then I'm aware of
at least 2 more magazines who wanted to beat me by
bringing proportional upscroll as the first. The two
mags I'm talking about are: The Tribune and Vandalism
News. So far though, I haven't seen it released, but
let's just wait and see.

Ok, enough about that for now. Coz more changes has
taken place starting from this issue.
I've gained some more members for the Skyhigh staff.
But why don't I mention 'em right here and right now!!

===INTRUDER OF AVANTGARDE===

Stefan and I have come up with a brand new idea for
a serie in this magazine. For people who know, or swap
with Intruder it might not be that difficult to figure
out what it is.

Oldies!!!! - No not lame old music, but cewl old demoparts ofcourse. Yes starting from this issue and into
the future you will find an oldie, hand-picket by the
Intruder himself. Furthermore you might find some
interviews or other kind of interesting chapters.
Watch out, is all I can say.

===CUPID OF EXTACY===

Some readers has asked for more 'text chapters' in
Skyhigh. With 'text chapters' they meant chapters
which wasn't 'the normal' c64-like.
E.g. : charts, news, interviews a.s.o. So what is more
logical than letting Christian join in. Some might know
him from the Arcoss mag : MENDIP where he used to be
co-editor. Now he is under the Skyhigh force with new
power. Check out his own corner + the VISION chapter
which, in my eyes, has some very good ideas.
Christian might also do some interviews + other exciting chapters. So better take care my friends.

In the previous issue I asked for help with some of
the chapters. And guess what !! 2 persons has volun-
teered to help me.

===WALKER OF F4CG===

Jonas has offered to help me with the boardnumbers.
BUT only the boardnumbers, no release chapters e.g.
But Stefan has informed me that he will get a modem
soon so he might do that in the future.

===CAPRICE DESIGN OF PLUSH===

Sascha has offered his help with the charts. So from
the next issue the charts will be taken care of by
him. This time I did 'em again (I had done most of the
counting and work when I got his letter - so..), but
be sure to see his job in the next issue of Skyhigh.

Yes these where the new co-editors. I would like to
welcome each and one of them. I'm sure we will have
a great time.

----

Last time I wrote about this thought I've been playing with now and then. For those who can't remember
what it was, I can briefly tell you what it was :
What if you had the talent & knowledge of today, say
8-10 years ago. Or in other words: imagine you could
draw like you do today 8 years ago. At the same time
I touched the area around multi speed tunes. What if
the composers had used multi-speed players back
then ???

Well surprise, coz THEY DID .... Yes it's true. Zyron of
Antic/Swemix/Remembers has supplied me with some
quite cool informations about that (see the reactions
chapter too!). Actually one composer used quadro
players back in 1986. Some of the newcommers might
not even know this certain composer, but for the
ones of us who have been there for quite some years
his name wakes up cool memories. But who were this
composer then ??? Ok let me reveal it :

===MARTIN GALWAY===

One of the real legends. Zyron also gave some exam-
ples of legendary games he did :

- Terra Cresta - Wizball & Yie Ar Kung FU

Ring a bell ?? - Yes I thought so.
But why do I write all this? Hmmmm, ofcoz I have a
reason for it.

===HOW MUCH DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE C64 - PAST===

Looooong time ago I tried to start up a chapter with
information from the past. A chapter with stories
from the 'old days' so to speak. But somehow I never
succeeded in doing that. Only one person responded.
This person was no-one else than my cool Swedish
buddy : Devil of Noice...
I can't recall in what issue it was, but it was a part
of the story about Horizon. The birth of the group,
members and some records they did. - A really cool
chapter indeed. Unfortunately that was all that happened. Such a shame....

So Zyron brought us a little bit more, but I could use
much more... The problem is that I don't know, or remember much from that time. But there has to be some
one out there who do.
There has to be some old timers who hide a piece of
the past way back in their minds. If you are one of'em
why not share it with the rest of us!!
Coz to me it's very important to know what I'm dealing
with. I would like to know about the roots. It's something I feel is worth to be protected; worth to be
common knowledge to everybody. Skyhigh has started
to do something about it, by bringing old demoparts
from the 'good ole days!!' What we could use is some
information and facts about culminations reached
within our beloved scene. Some examples could be :

* Who did the first bluebox for the c64 ?
* Which group was the first one who cracked a game?
* Who invented FLI (some say Blackmail ??)
* Who did the first diskmagazine ?
* Stories of worldrecords, and who did 'em ?
* Informations about some of the legendary groups as Dutch 1001, The softteam, Hotline, Ikari, FAC, Dominators a.s.o.

Wouldn't it be cool to hear something about oldtimers
like : Speedcracker, TMC (Charles Deenen), or people
who had handles, people are (re)using to day. I'm talk
ing about :

Mad (One of the cewl old composers)

Bob (one hell of a graphician. He did several titlescreens for games)

Intruder (Yes there has been an Intruder before. The old Intruder was Dutch..)

And the list goes on and on.. I presume some of the
newcommers didn't even know about these persons.
I myself haven't been in the scene before 1992-1993
but I have had my c64 since 1984 and I have seen a
lot of stuff from these days, so I would say that I'm
a bit experienced in the area.
Still I would like to know more, and I would like the
interested ones of you to know it too.. So if you have
something to share, please don't hesitate my friends.

Send it to me at this addy :

* BIZ KID/CAMELOT XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

----

Ok, now to something different.
-In the previous issue of this magazine I asked you
to help me with updating the addy chapters. At the
time beeing two guys did a wonderfull job by sending
me lists with many changes. I would like to thank these two guys right here and right now :

A big yoho to : Nastiness, Inc./Angry & Walker/F4CG...

But to the point!!! Stefan has suggested to remove
all addies. This would make more people start voting
coz they want their addy in. But it has always been
my intention to keep the addies and simply update 'em
from time to time. It's one hell of a job and it cannot
be done without the help of all you out there, but it
is in my eyes worth it.
BUT.. I'm willing to make a compromise. Maybe I should
delete all the addies and start all over again..
In this way I'm sure to get rid of all the invalid ads.
On the other hand, then many people has told me how
cool they find all the addies.. So what shall I do ??
Please tell me what you think. I think if more people
helped me with corrections like Barry and Jonas did
it will not be necessery to delete 'em. But please let
me know what you think.. Just send me a reaction for
the next issue..

===SHALL I CONTINUE AS I DO, OR START ALL OVER===

----

Ok, now to something quited different :

===CREATIVE SPELLING===

Hmmm, so what does this strange topic hide ??
Is it about letting people spell like they want to, or
is it maybe about people spelling 'in a different way'

Aooooonk, times up!! - And the right answer was......

Well this might not be of a big interest for some of
you out there. But for people who have counted some
votesheets it might catch some interest. Becoz votesheets are what it's all about. Or rather what people
write on them. You would be surprised by the handwriting on some of them. It really can be a tough job
trying to read a reaction, an addy or the votes. But
as said before, this is not what it's all about.
What I'm trying to tell you is that sometimes its quite
funny to count all the votes, becoz you see so many
mistakes. Ofcoz it doesn't matter at all how people
write on the sheets, but still it can bring some joy.

Lemme give an example: Skihigh !!! Eventhough people
are not allowed to vote for this magazine, some still
do. What really makes it funny is that they even cant
spell it right on the Skyhigh votesheet. The right way
is shown 'loud and clearly' at the top, and still they
manage to do it wrong. Amazingly....

And there are more :

FAZEE : FAZZEE - FUZZEE 
IMMORTAL FLASH : IMORTAL FLASH 
CARRION : CARION 
JEROEN TEL : JEROEN TELL 
METAMORPHOSIS : METHAMORPHOSIS 
OGAMI : ORGAMI 
GAMERS GUIDE : GAMMERS GUIDE 
REVEALED : REAVEALED 

Most of them might be regular spelling mistakes, but
the next ones are a tad different.

ROB HUBBARD : RON HUBBARD

Well this is quite a common mistake, but also a quite
big one I must say. Rob Hubbard was one of the best
composers on this computer ever. Ron hubbard or :
Ron L. Hubbard as his right name is, is the leader of
the, in my eyes, fake sect : Scientolegi. (I guess I
might have misspelled that...)

THE TRIBUNE : TRIBUTE

Again we're talking about to widely different things.
I guess all know the difference, so all I'm gonna say
is, that voting for Tribute as a mag is absolutely not
a good idea.

BYTERAPERS : BYTERAPPERS

This one is quite funny. Another Hip hop group has
seen the light. So maybe Mr. Sex should change his
handle to : Mc. Sex - he he!! Make it ruff..

INSIDER : INTRUDER

Somehow I got the feeling that Reflex has forgotten
to inform me that their mag has changed its name, and
what about you Stefan, what do you think...

The last one was quite a shock for me. Another co-op
has been build. Somehow I got the feeling that the
members hasen't been informed about it yet - he he.
Here we go :

SCS+TRC : SCS+TRSI

Well I guess someone woke up and smelled the coffee
as they saw that - he he!!

- Ok enough about that. Just have it in mind next time
you're voting - ok...

----

Well I guess you all have noticed that I'm trying to
hold on to the past, and in the same time conquering
the future. Some might call that a strange mix-up.
But actually it's quite deliberate. You always have to
follow the progress; maybe even make the progress
yourself, but in the same time stick to the roots.
This is very hard to do, but still I try. The way I will
do it is as mentioned before to bring an old demopart
everytime. Second I will try to gather information
from the past.

And third : I have another idea. Yes the head of the
Bizman is cooking all the time!!! Well to the point.
Besides the exclusive tunes, I have decided to bring
1 (one!!) old'n'legendary tune every issue. So starting
from this issue there should be 3 exclusive tunes +
an oldie.

So in case you haven't tried all the zax then I would
advice you to load the 4th tune and check it out.

I'm ofcoz still looking for exclusive tunes for this
magazine. So if you feel like doing some then don't
hesitate at all. All you have to do is to follow these
simple rules:

<pre>
LOCATION : $1000 - $1fff

INIT : $1000
PLAY : $1003
</pre>

Singleplayer only......

Remember that your tune will be widely spread with
this magazine + if there's free space on the disk it'll
be spread there as well. Furthermore your tune will
be in the next TUNEHIGH. So come on guys. Send!!

You know where to send it, if not then look above.

----

Ok I guess that was all the Bizman had on his mind,
for this time. So all there's left is to say goodbye 4
now. See you in the next issue. PEACE...
