             HOTSHOTS OF 1991
             ----------------

           - morpheus reports -


 well, another year passed. we have now
 started of a new year and i hope you
 will be satisfied with some more
 issues of hotshot - the pride of the
 whole scandinavia!

 in 1991 we released 10 issues filled
 with stimulating text. it started of
 with the 1990 christmas issue in
 januari 1991. 9 issues was to follow.

 the contest was different. we had all
 kinda news, charts, advertisements,
 reactions, reviews, stories etc. the
 inerviews were done with:

 issue 7 : daw / censor design
 he later quitted censor and the scene!

 issue 8 : none because lack of memory!
 one of the reasons to change outfit!

 issue 9 : ano / padua! what more to
 say? a cool guy.

 issue 10 : colorful and destino of the
 best group of finland, origo! done at
 the great horizon party april 1991!

 issue 11 : scorp/hitmen, zoris of air
 design/the force and xentrix/b. force.
 three of our best friends in 1 single
 issue. wow!

 issue 12 : antichrist, kampftrinker &
 scrap of genesis! these were the guys
 who boasted most of their own group!

 issue 13 : ses & jack daniels/genesis.
 i printed the issue with jd and at the
 same time he was kicked out and was
 antichrist worst enemy!

 issue 14 : attraction of pandora!
 a group which was working themselves
 up. but then some trouble and now,
 complete silence!

 issue 15 : none due to the fact that
 we were in such a big hurry finishing
 both our demo and our mag. this issue
 had to be finished because otherwise
 it would not be spread.we even crunch-
 ed hotshot a half an hour before our
 train would take us back home from
 zodiac's place.

 issue 16 : deff/enigma!
 have you ever seen him been inter-
 viewed in another magazine? nnaaa...

 a great bunch of cool guys, eh?

 this year was a quite successful year
 for hotshot. with a well-earned-clap-
 your-hands-everybody hotshot became
 one of the world's five best mags!!

 history:
 --------
 it all started when mags were quite
 new in the scene. a few german mags
 were released and i'm sure you remem-
 ber sex'n crime which was the biggest
 then. sharp(ex-flash), zodiac and me
 were talking about starting a mag, but
 i thought there were too many then!
 later zodiac called me up saying that
 he and sharp had done a mag-outfit
 with the name hotshot.

 within a few months hotshot was a well
 known magazine.

 the future:
 -----------
 the amount of mags(and there's coming
 more!!) really pisses me off! i think
 that it's a bad sign that every little
 lamer-group starts a mag. the fact is
 my friends, that you gotta have some
 good connections to the scene if you
 want to release a good magazine!

 when it comes to hotshot i think it
 will continue 'till either the scene
 dies or the world's end is near!

        THE NEW ZEALAND SCENE
        THE NEW ZEALAND SCENE
        ---------------------

     - reporter: the hegg!/rotec -


 the new zealand 64 scene has never
 seen a real boom in numbers. it have
 always been around 10-15 real guys
 doing only importing and that it all
 really. it's all happened out of time
 1986-1990 was around the time that
 groups like: the falcons, the source,
 nukebusters then at the beginning of
 1990 eagle corp. all these crews were
 just import groups but were really
 fast and their stuff was really well
 spread.

 then in about august 1990 a new
 zealand division of chrome was started
 by a guy called retaliator and that
 had 5 people in it at it's peak, then
 retaliator left the scene and the new
 zealand division fell apart and rotec
 was formed. this has been n.z's big-
 gest group yet! it's got eight members
 which may not be alot but already one
 demo has been released and two issues
 of an addy magazine called the grape-
 vine .
 there is also just a new group formed
 called the bomb squad which has only
 one coder at the very moment. also a
 one man division of proxyon was set up
 by cougar/chromenz who is just a
 graphican.

 overall the scene in new zealand is
 fucked up in the arse but it is great
 for phreakers and stamp cheaters etc.
 no-one has ever been caught by the
 cops for anything like that because
 they don't worry about petty things
 like computer crimes. but the negative
 outweigh the positives so unless more
 people start doing things in new
 zealand, there is no future!

  WHAT'S UP WITH THE HUNGARIAN SCENE ?
  WHAT'S UP WITH THE HUNGARIAN SCENE ?
  ------------------------------------

           - alive reports -


 let me have it started by listing some
 big groups in hungary.

 chromance : seems to be the best over
 here, by some says that they are get-
 ting weak, just by releasing their mag
 "are we the best?" and doing some
 cracks. and ofcourse by being famous
 since the dawn of time. it seems like
 their oldest and coolest members have
 left the group, or atleast some al-
 ready have (jean, griff, sangfroid).
 their leader, mr. wax still stands the
 fight against local lamers saying he's
 not a cool dude. i cannot judge this
 question, because i don't know mr. wax
 personally.

 triumwyrat :are the other ancient ones
 also having one old member left named
 sylvio. the other original members
 have left the group without any speci-
 al reason. they sometimes makes demos,
 but not enough to reach the charts.
 mainly, they live on swapping.

 stella : is a newcomer group but the
 group is getting big! they just have
 one problem. they are lack of great
 coders and that's why they don't rele-
 ase so much demos, and aswell as the
 group triumwyrat, their main topic is
 to swap. the most interesting thing
 about stella is their girl-leader,
 monique.

 faces : are a big family having losta
 coders, graphics men. when the group
 is really active, they're the best
 group in hungary, concerning swapping
 and the demo thing.

 graffity : are one of these group who
 could be one of the best groups. they
 have cool coders, graphics men and
 nearly all of the members can do some
 kinda music. but they are unactive at
 this point (or are they doing some-
 thing to shock the scene with later
 on?).

 dynax : were cool but they're having a
 civil war in the group. this led to
 dynax splitting up, members joining
 other groups. nowadays they're alive
 with two or three members. hope they
 will do something.

 i think i mentioned all the so-called
 elite groups there. and now over to
 the scene in general.

 it seems that in hungary nearly every-
 one has someone that they hate. and
 that is bad because it's putting the
 hungarian scene into a bad position.
 for an example we have all these local
 lamers hating chromance because they
 are known within the scene. but the
 guys in chromance just ignore them.
 the ones remaining in dynax are proud
 and they say that besides them, only
 graffity and tri and the cool ones.
 they seems to be hostile against the
 members that left the group and joined
 stella.

 dynax and graffity are against faces.
 why, you might ask? well, faces tried
 to be friendly but both graffity and
 dynax ignored them.

 everyone seeks after mistakes on each-
 other. if one is found it's spreaded
 like hell.

 the small groups are stealing code
 from the big ones. this is one of the
 causes there's war all the time.
 the hungarian scene is just getting
 into the business that most of the
 other scene guys entered one or two
 years ago. captain tas/stella have
 started a magazine in our own language
 called "foleny". then, a few months
 later, another one called "fairplay"
 saw it's daylight. the editors of
 fairplay thought that foleny wasn't
 fair. these two magazines were enough,
 i think, for the hungarian scene. but
 later on more mags were produced. one
 is worse than the other.

 but after all, there is some guys in
 hungary that want peace. i hope i have
 given you a little look on the scene
 in hungary. and if you don't share my
 opinion, why don't you write a letter
 to me or to hotshot and tell your own
 opinion!

    THE LAMER HITMAN / EXOTIC DESIGN
    THE LAMER HITMAN / EXOTIC DESIGN
    --------------------------------

      - flash/hysteric tells ya! -


 about the lamer hitman/exotic design.
 i was on holiday in neustadt/germany
 where also hitman lives. i didn't took
 my computer with me and so i had to
 copy and play at hitman and hawk(both
 in exotic designs) place. one day i
 contacted some guys. one of these guys
 were janec of ex-genesis. the holidays
 were over and i drove home. hitman and
 hawk should have sent me all the send-
 ings that arrived in neustadt for me.
 but as janec answered my letter those
 guys didn't tell me about the whole
 thing. just instead of that, hitman
 wrote a letter to janec that i would
 never swap with him and he also wrote
 that he took over janec as a contact.
 the whole thing was discovered as
 janec wrote to me again. but this time
 to my home address. so vote for hitman
 in da lamer charts!


 editor comment:
 ---------------
 well, that's typical! stupid lamers
 steeling discs and stuff. anyway, i
 do not really understand the meaning
 with this article, but i'm waiting for
 an answer from hitman and bro' hawk .

           FUNNY LETTERS II
           FUNNY LETTERS II
           ----------------

 yes! this part of 'hotshot' has shown
 up for a second time..
 in this issue, we can't publish any
 lame letters sent in directly to the
 editors....but we stole a letter from
 a swedish computergames mag, and
 translated the letter, so the rest of
 europe can laugh at it too.. and it
 looks like this:

 hi swedish homecomputer news, sweden's
 oldest homecomputer paper?
 my name is per ekengren but in the
 computer business i call myself "mega-
 perka". i've had a commodore vic64 for
 2 years now. i'm 11 years old, but i
 will soon be 12 years. i've got many
 questions for the staff at swedish
 homecomputer news. here are the ques-
 tions:

 (1.) i'm going to buy a diskdrive.
      can i use the games i've got on
      tape, even if i have a diskdrive?

 (2.) i've got a friend who's got an
      atari, he's got a game called
      "automation". another friend of
      mine told me that you can become
      immortal if you give the right
      answer to the question "infinite
      lives? (y/n)". what are you
      supposed to answer there?

 (3.) a friend of mine has got a com-
      puter called amiga. he thinks it
      is a good computer. do you think
      so too?

 (4.) how do you copy an original game?
      my friends have got lots of
      original games that i want to
      have too.
