From C64 Diskmag Wiki
-------------- old days ============== the awful journalists o'the aw- ful mag splash are awfully proud to present a completely new topic which was never done by anyone be- fore! a glance to the old days the scene had!.. yes,sounds interesting eh?well, we'll just examine the old mags & print some news and charts.we will also make comments as well,as long as our historical knowledge lets!! for this issue,the mag i've ch- ecked is quite familiar: garfield news issue 1!! yes,that's right... it's the first issue of splash(you know it is ex-g.n).although splash is a completely different mag now, its roots lie over garfield news that was released nearly 2.5 years ago for the first time! yes,that's right:our mag was firstly released in the autumn of 1990(i think).and you see, we are one of the oldest around!.. bye the way,at that time it was released by the sample boys consisting of falcon(now acy), do- nald (now axl/acy),viper (left the scene) and devil(now smile/clique) after tsb, g.n. was released by dualis and finally by >accuracy< and changed its name into splash! three,two,one.biiiiip,clunchs, grumps,time warp complete,time is now 1990,autumn ! yes,one of the times that the scene is living it's good days.(or some people always think so). but the demos will be totally boring 4 todays' scener... anyway,now take a look at a few news... * angie/hotsoft left hotsoft and joined the guardian angels... * sodapop/level 11 started swap- ing again. * cyclotron changed their name to bronx. * shez/nuclear will quit because of army season. * the joker crew died and kadem joined bronx. hmm,now some more information: * hotsoft was a one-woman crew!! the thing which is so outstanding here is angie! she was a>women and she was over 40 with two children< strange eh? i think she's outta da scene.the gaa's are still alive! *sodapop is still in the scene & as you know he is the sysop of the fairlight hq,paradise! * there're only a few members of bronx left on the sixtyfour but a- miga dudes are still alive! * shez/nuclear later cameback to the scene, and most of you should know shez/house! that shoud be him eh? he still is in the scene i th- ink... * the last news is a completely >false< one.joker crew was still alive since a few months ago.their last member steve joined acy and they are dead now.also kadem never ever joined bronx.the only groups that kadem has been to're:the cob- ra boys,joker crew,estergon design and of course accuracy! this was all for the news.we of course will have much more of them as you know,there are a hell lot of them! okey, now let's take a look at the rulers of that time... cracking groups =============== 1.genesis project 2.ikari+talent 3.illusion 4.dominators 5.legend 6.crazy 7.paramount 8.holocaust 9.f4cg 10.transcom yes,genesis used to rule in cr- ackin'with their members like gob- lin and snacky,but they are doing nothing now.i+t was the best coop ever done.they were no.1 until the dudes in ikari joined legend! ( it was a shock for everyone).illusion legend and dom are still fighting for the top.f4cg and paramount are also started to make their way up there.transcom is also dead just like holocaust the story of holocaust is quite complicated.once they were really very high in the charts.but later then,it was understood that their main cracker exory was a terribble lamer!.. the ones who lived those days can never forget da wars bet- ween exory and gp.later many other clues were found about exory that he was recracking and cheating the charts.he couldn't keep it up and he simply tried to trick the scene by changing his handle into dystan and building a crew called trauma. but it was soon again found that he was exory!yes,then nobody heard his name...until today! hmm,cross- fire of image is claimed to be the old lamer exory!this is quite hard to prove i think...now let me tell you a little story: wolf(ex-acy) was once a member of trauma.after dystan was found to be exory,the group was split of course.wolf joined several groups until the day he built his own gr- oup:unique.and unique had a crack- er that was never heard:>crossfire but i can't make any comments on that,we've to be an objective mag. demo groups =========== 1.bonzai 2.origo 3.flash inc. 4.censor design 5.cosmos designs 6.megastyle inc. 7.crest 8.century 9.horizon 10.tat aah...that were the days of bonzai shocked everyone with their superb demo bonzieed and kept their pla- ce for a long time by releasing a lot of cool demos.but now, most of their mambers are in starion.it is only century and megastyle that're competely dead.the others're still in the scene and except for tat all are still producing demos now and then.you can't see light in the top ten now,but after a few months,they took their place there and never left again. but i think beyond should be here... crackers ---------- 1.snacky/genesis project 2.bod/ikari+talent 3.sauron/illusion 4.powerplant/legend 5.dogfriend/dominators well,except for snacky,all of those dudes are still in the bizz, and still have nearly the same pl- aces.but what a shame, no new cool crackers showed up! coders -------- 1.trap/bonzai 2.scroll/megastyle inc. 3.crossbow/crest 4.hannes(mc sprite/cosmos) 5.zodiac/flash inc. well,trap has left the scene a long time ago,just like scroll(shi man!).zodiac is no.1 in most of th charts and crossbow is too lazy, s is hannes... maybe at the cd party graphicians ------------- 1.bizzmo/genesis project 2.orc 3.gotcha/crazy here're the charts that changed the most.it's only gotcha that is seen painting here and there but today young talents are ruling... just look at dragon( ok. he isn't that young) ogami,pal,tmt,atte and all i can't remember! musicians -=-=-=-=-=- 1.drax/vibrants 2.link/vibrants 3.laxity/vibrants yes, once it was only vibrants that were seen in the top of the musician charts,but this changed! many other musicians are ruling da top and i think this is something really cool! by the way,laxity was not in vib at that time i think! magazines =========== 1.corruption/atg 2.sex'n'crime/amok 3.mamba/crazy 4.fatal news/censor design 5.rock'n'role/role hmmm,this chart also changed li- ke hell.it's only corruption that is released time to time i think!! i also heard that rock'n'role will not be released anymore... corruption kept its place for a long time even if it was not re- leased!but,their old issue was the best i've ever seen! their editors joined paramount,genesis project & finally dominators;jack daniels is still in there i guess. sex'n'crime was also number one until corruption got their place. in fact,except for fatal news all of them has once been the numero uno... well,that's all for this issue. if i've made any mistakes in any- thing please excuse me and send a letter what it actually is... so far,so good,so what? it is again the time for goodbye... >the boss/accuracy
