splash staff is back with a superb
interview done with syco/chromance
from holland.those who do not know
who he is,bleed.

      ^ DIGAHOLE/ACCURACY
      < SYC0/CHROMANCE

one question to all... why,god,why
do those stupid mosqito come and
die on my studying desk when i put
the toxic gas on them.i hate it!!

:)8);):)8);):)8);):)8);):)8);):)8)

^ HELLO,JOOST.LET'S START WITH A
  VERY ORIGINAL QUESTION.COULD YOU
  PLEASE INTRODUCE YERSELF BRIEFLY
  TO THE READERS ?

< well,to give you an original
  answer... my name is joost
  martens.i am almost 17 years old
  (23rd of june) and a member of
  the scene since the end of '92.

  i look like this:

  blue eyes,blond hair(never heard
  a dutch guy with dark hair!-ed2)
  1.86 metres,and 73 kilos.

  i have been in the <c* for more
  than a year now,and won't leave
  it for another! my jobs are mail
  trading(quite lazy at the mom.),
  and original supplying.

  i will have my exams next year
  and that's it.

  (as you see,joost's way of brief
  explaination is unusual !? -ed2)

^ YOU USED TO BE IN ANOTHER COOL
  GROUP,PROXYON(HI,FRANK!)BUT THEY
  ARE DEAD NOW.WHY DON'T YOU TELL
  US THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THAT
  GROUP AND CHROMANCE ?

< i think the frienship in proxyon
  was closer,but that's very
  logical as we lived close
  together and had a lot of meet-
  ings/calls.in proxyon,i knew all
  members very good,in <c*,i only
  know some very good.a real good
  thing is that zar/ex-proxyon
  also joined chromance last year.
  old times are reliving,he,he.

  chromance is better organised i
  think.in proxyon,we only planned
  things(a megademo).in (c),things
  also get carried out.look at
  'fantasy' by zar/<c*.

  a last difference is that <c*
  has a much better fame than pxn
  did.

< AS MR.WAX,THE BRAIN OF CHROMANCE
  HAS DECREASED HIS ACTIVITIES,
  WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT THE
  FUTURE AND JOINING ANOTHA GROUP?

^ mr.wax is still quite active.he
  only dropped most of his contax
  till he gets released by the
  army.the future is hot.hungary
  will be one of the leaders in
  the game producing business.that
  is very good of course,but it's
  also strange that some of the
  concurrents are <c* members,too.
  (right,stake ?) there's no other
  group for me than chromance if
  for one dark reason,that <c*will
  die.then i am a gonner.the rest
  of the groups don't really
  appeal to me anyway(yes,we rule)

^ SO NO ONE SHOULD BE SHOCKED TO
  SEE YOU IN YOUR ROOM KNEELING
  BEFORE A CHROMANCE SIGN AND PRAY
  ING,HIH,HOH.

  WELL,CHROMANCE IS A CRACKING
  GROUP;DO YOU THINK THE GAMES ON
  THIS MACHINE (NEW ONES) ARE
  WORTH THE TIME ?

< some are.for example,"sword of
  honour","long life",and more...
  these are hungarian games,and
  like i have said before,hungary
  has the future for the fullprice
  games.but i must admit poland is
  improving,too.commodore format
  is the lamest i have ever seen.
  in 90/91,i used to buy the mag,
  and it was great.100 pages full
  of reviews and quite cool cover-
  tapes...now when i see it in the
  shop,it is 20 pages,no real re-
  views and the cover tape is
  major lame.on the other hand,
  ebes tries 2 release some decent
  games,but i don't give them much
  chance.strange is that i think
  the "magic disk/game on" games
  are slightly improving.of course
  i must say most games are pure
  crap.so i think most games are
  not worth the time.

^ NOW I BET U EVEN HIDE HUNGARIAN
  FLAGS ALL AROUND IN YOUR ROOM!!
  ERM,NO LAMER CAN IGNORE THE GUYS
  FROM POLAND WHO HAVE RELEASED
  THE PREVIEW "ZONE OF DARKNESS."

  THERE'S ALSO SOME ACTION IN THE
  OZZIE GAME SCENE.CHECK OUT FOR
  "MISFORTUNE." PROMISING,INDEED.

  TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT
  THOSE NEW GROUPS WHO COME UP
  WITH ONLY A MAG,AND THE IDEA OF
  HAVING A MAG AS A MUST ?

< i do not care if they want to
  produce something lame,which no-
  body reads anyway.i think we
  should let them.of course you
  can say they can better produce
  demos instead,but keep in mind
  that most of those mag producing
  groups simply do not have the
  abilities for that.

  a mag,a must ? certainly not!
  before starting a mag,one should
  first think twice.(rating his
  own abilities,enogh time,etc.)
  before releasing one issue and
  then quit again.

^ YES,TELL'EM JOOST.KICK THEIR
  LAME ASSES.YEAH.(A GOOD EXAMPLE
  FOR AN EDITOR WITHOUT A BRAIN,
  THAT'S WHY WE LET MR.BRAIN TO
  EDIT THE MAG. -ED2)

  HOW DO YOU SPEND A NORMAL DAY
  AND DO YOU THINK YOU SPARE MORE
  TIME FOR YOUR COMPY THAN YOU
  SHOULD ?

< i still go to school,so that's
  what my day starts with.i come
  home at +/- 15:00 hours and then
  check my mail.this can take 10
  minutes up to 2 hours (if i get
  some good mags).after that i do
  my homework- sometimes! (come
  on,you bloody nerd! -ed2)

  at 18:00 hours,my mummie yells
  me for dinner and then i mostly
  go to my friends,play soccer
  (yes,soccer rules-ed2),watch tv,
  prepare sendings or something
  else.and when i am tired,i go to
  bed and the next day it starts
  all over again and again and...

  in the weekends,i go to the
  disco in the evenings.

  i don't think i spend too much
  time in front of my 64,as i
  always do what i like doing most
  at the moment.if that is playing
  on my computer,i don't think i'm
  wasting my time.i can say,i
  spent too much time on my compy
  in the past,but then again at
  that time,i found it cool.so it
  was the best thing for me to do.
  (at that time)

^ THAT PROBABLY GOES FOR THE MOST
  OF THE SCENERS.I ALSO SPENT A
  LOT OF TIME PLAYING GAMES.AND I
  STILL DO PLAY KICK OFF 2 ON MY
  AMIGA AND NO ONE ON EARTH CAN
  BEAT ME AT THAT! AND ON SENSIBLE
  SOCCER,TOO.

  DO YOU AGREE WITH THE IDEA THAT
  90% OF THE SCENERS ARE THIS WAY
  OR THE OTHER PROBLEMED GUYS...
  LIKE DIVORCED PARENTS,UGLY FACE,
  BIG STOMACH,LONG DICK,NO
  FRIENDS,ETC. ?

< 90% might be a little too much,
  i think,but it comes into the
  right direction.but i don't
  really care as i don't see them
  in real life anyway.(not that i
  don't wanna see them) actually,
  i think it's quite ok as i must
  say most sceners i met at the
  parties (computer parties that
  is) are dudes i would never have
  talked while i would be at
  school or so.it enlarges my
  living world half(huh?-ed2)

  but is having a long dick a
  problem?(not for me,ha,ha)

^ A LONG DICK MIGHT MEAN DEATH TO
  TO THE WHORE YOU'RE FUCKING,HEH.
  OR IT COULD TURN YOUR CHEEKS
  INTO RED IN A SITUATION OF UN -
  EXPECTED ERRECTION,RIGHT ? NAH.

  ANYWAY,TELL ME THREE THINGS YOU
  WOULD NOT TAKE WITH YOU TO THAT
  FAMOUS DESERTED ISLAND IN THE
  MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN ?

< eh,my computers,my little
  brother,and nastiness inc.(you
  know,the smell!)

^ I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT SMELL,
  BUT I KNOW THERE'S A KNOCKING
  AROMA COMING FROM INSIDE MY
  SHORTS.(CHORUS:OEARGH!)

  OKAY,IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO
  MEET THREE SCENERS YOU HAD NOT
  MET BEFORE,WHO WOULD THEY BE ?
  (ME!ME!PLEASE! -ED2)

< my first choice would be mr.wax
  of chromance.but as i will visit
  him this summer,anyway,i won't
  count him.i think i would pick
  three legendary sceners who
  quitted already.names ?

  sledgehammer/hotline,
  powerplant/legend,and
  goblin/genesis.

  but there are more of course.
  from nowadays,i would really
  like to meet mr.brain(so i can
  visit you,too.he,he!cheaper.)
  lord red/creators and chromance
  hungary.

^ ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH BEING A
  SWAPPER OR WOULD YOU WISH TO BE
  A CODER,GRAPHICIAN,OR MUSICIAN?
  AND WHY?

< yes,i am satisfied with being a
  swapper for the simple reason
  that i like it.mailtrading is
  said to be the dirty job of the
  scene,but i don't care as long
  as i have fun doing it.(well,it
  is quite dirty to lick those
  envelopes! hih,hah. -ed2)

  to be a cracker,one who can do
  it all and then write kick ass
  scroll texts,and of course being
  real high in the charts (also
  after years of inactivity)

^ HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS
  WITH YOUR GIRL ABOUT THE COMPY?

< i don't talk about my computers
  in my real life to my girlfriend
  or friends.they know i have one,
  (well,even two)but they don't
  know about the scene and stuff
  like that.so you can say i have
  never had any problems with that
  and most likely will never have.

^ DO YOU THINK SOCCER IS THE BEST
  SPORTS OF THE CENTURY ? (YEAH)
  AND TELL US YER FAVOURITE TEAMS.

< everybody should answer "yes"
  here!are there any other sports?
  my favourite is ajax amsterdam
  (europe's #01) but i also like
  a2'67 a lot.this team was the
  dutch champion in 80/81,but they
  now play in the second league
  (snif!)

  as my little brother happens to
  play in a2's youth (he has my
  talent,ha,ha!) we always get
  free tickets for the matches,so
  you can find me there quite
  often.a2 will promote next year
  and will win the dutch cup.(i
  hope)

^ WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THE RUMOUR
  THAT ONCE STORMED AROUND SAYING
  POWERPLANT OF LEGEND WAS THREE
  GUYS ?

< it's a bit of a dated matter,and
  actually i don't really pay
  attention to these rumours.i
  think it is nonsense,but if i
  would be powerplant,i would be
  flattered.

  anyway,powerplant,atleast,is a
  decent cracker who does not drag
  when he overtrains an easy multi
  file game.

^ THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE:CHECK
  THIS QUESTION OUT.GREAT ONE!!!

  DO YOU AGREE ON "VOTING FOR
  LEGEND AND BLACKMAIL TODAY" IS
  AS LAME AS FUCKING A DEAD HORSE?

< if people think legend and
  blackmail are the rulers of
  today's scene,they really should
  vote for them.only,by doing this
  they show a lack of knowledge
  into today's scene.there are
  enuff lamers still around voting
  for such groups though...

^ WHAT WOULD YOU FIRST SAY HAD
  YOUR MOTHER CAUGHT YOU JERKING
  IN THE TOILET ? (SYC0! -ED2)

< she won't ! (now you don't
  expect us to believe that,do
  you?ha,ha. -ed2)

^ LET'S HEAD FOR A VERY CLASSIC
  QUESTION.SH0CK US BY TELLING YER
  FAVOURITE DEMO GROUP,GRAPHICIAN,
  CODER,AND MUSICIAN.

< demo group : fairlight
  graphician : cruise (yeah!-ed2)
  coder      : tron
  musician   : drax

^ WHICH CHAPTERS DO YOU READ FIRST
  IN A DISK MAG ? WHY ?
  (NOW,WE'RE NOT GOING TO SCREAM
  AND SHOUT IF HE SAYS CHARTS,OK?-
  ED2)

< first the charts (chorus:aaa!),
  to check out <c*'s position and
  if it is lower than the #03,
  ignore it.then the news to check
  out things i already know for
  some weeks(when it's a good mag)
  and worths when it is a bad mag!
  (chorus:whaaat?huh?)

  i also check out for our member
  status to have a laugh,as it is
  always incorrect.

  at last,in some mags,i check the
  release list just to see which
  games came out and which i
  missed(not that they are worth
  getting anyway) (come on!-ed2)
  and after all that,i check some
  other chapters of which the
  titles appeal to me.

^ SO YOU WOULDN'T READ THIS INTER-
  VIEW,THEORICLY,RIGHT ? BAH.

  TELL ME,WHAT IS YOUR COMMENT ON
  THIS NEVERENDING CONFLICT
  BETWEEN THE ELITE AND BEGINNERS.
  EXPLAIN,PLEAAASEE.(HOW EDITORS
  SHOW THEY'RE GETTIN' BORED OF
  TYPING THE CURRENT TEXT!? -ED2)

< what conflict ? (good,now he
  takes his turn and interviews
  me. -ed2) i think there is not
  a (big) conflict anymore,as
  beginners and elites are trading
  with eachother like hell(look at
  the contacts of swappers like
  splatterhead,intruder,calypso,
  and even me!)and it's so fuckin'
  easy to become an elite swapper
  nowadays.(right.-ed2)

^ MORE MAGAZINE RELATED QUESTIONS:

  DO YOU THINK A MAG SHOULD HAVE
  NON-SCENE-RELATED CHAPTERS?WHY?

< no,i can read those stuff in
  normal magazines anyway.

^ THE BEST ONE IS YET TO COME...
  YOU'LL LOVE THIS QUESTION!

  JOOST,WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF
  CLAUDIA SCHIFFER WANTED TO
  SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU AND
  YOU HAD NO VASOLINE ? AND WHY?

< do it without vasoline! (yeah,
  that's my man!fuck!fuck!-ed2)
  it's not me who has the pains
  anyway (how rude!) he,he.

^ OK,THANX FOR THIS INTERVIEW.

< thank you,too.and greetz to all
  my contax in this rotten scene.
  (even you,digahole,and don't ask
  me why!!)and keep the #01 and
  oldest scene mag alive! i hope
  you will do this in time,pal!

  off to dig a hole....  syco/<c*

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT SYCO/CHROMANCE
WOULD DO IF HE HAD NO VASOLINE.BYE
