reports: -------- 1. nato steals and sucks! ---------------------- an unobjective report by the ruling company: it all began when a guy called macro (sh)nit/nato visited his friend akira of trc during his lame-holidays! akira told him about a new game from trc called 'synex' and showed him the work. when akira went out to get some drinks, mr.lamer 'macro nit' stole 'synex'! how can ya steal a game from a friend macro nit? then you are lame! how un- fair can you be if you have nothing to release these days?! macro nit of nato showed it! we in the ruling com- pany are very angry about this! it's a scandal! have you imagined how long it takes for a good game?! and now we won't get a shit for it! no money,boy coz it's released by those fuckin' nato'ers!!! also destiny cracked 'synex'. of coz macro shit sold the game to destiny to earn money for it! now, to all other nato'ers: kick this lamer out of nato coz you don't de- serve a punishement he should get! macro nit, you'll be fucked by the entire world! fuck off and leave the scene, we do not need lamers like you! signed: the ruling company ------------------ 2. the scene in poland ------------------- by polonus of science 451 hi friends! i think it was a quite useful decision to report about the scene in poland. as you probably no- ticed i'm a polish citizen,this is why you get these information out of first hand. sometimes when people contact me they ask stupid questions like: are there really computers in poland?? he,he... you have to know that here are a lot of computers and of course people who can use 'em. but it would be the same like they would not, i mean the computer-scene here in poland is very lame! (oh god, what a shame!). here some facts about the scene: - computer no.1 is the atari 800xl - second place would be zx-spectrum and c-64/c128 why atari xl is first(!) is simple to be explained. you can't buy computers anywhere else than in pewex-shops. (pewex-shop: here you can buy goods only with a foreign currency). atari inc. sold a big number of the xl to the pewex-shops when the west started to hate the 8-bit atari-serie nowadays you can buy c-64's and ami- gas too but they are very expensive (c-64 - 255 dollar; amiga 500 - 660 dollar)! but let us start talking about the commodore scene: here is something about 30000 c-64 users in poland... an average user has got a 64 (mostly a new edition- modern look), drive or even tape and a cartridge (the polish copy of final cartridge 2,final 3 or even a working copy of ar 5!). fine, eh? but this 'average' user is normally busy with playing and collecting games. 'gielda' is the place where you can sell and buy cracked versions of games, not to be mistaken as a copy- party, no! the people who sell their cracks here earn a lot of money! sometimes they earn the same like three normal workers in only one month! but don't think they crack the games themselves, they have nothing to do with crackers! they use to freeze the games after the original cracker-intro and simply put a stolen intro from any demo infront of it and sell it to a client. you've guessed it already, there's no law against software-piracy in poland! it's hard to believe but these so- called 'gieldas' are absolutely legal and even the biggest of 'em all is sponsored by a legal computermag called 'bajtec'! ok, more about the people: i mean those suckers who freeze the cracked games, they do the same with your demo! they change the text, they use the whole demo as their own pro- duct by changing few things...(the spreading of original demos is nearly stopped by them!) the biggest of 'em are 'fiction' and 'wcf'(world crackin federation - bah ha ha!) as there are no cracking groups in poland at all they aint nothin' more than shit! and there're also no real demo-groups on 64 too. just only a few single co- ders like 7silver dream','mosquito' ....z..zz.. well the amiga scene looks better to me. we have several groups on amiga in poland, mostly they're demo-groups the biggest is quartet - my former group before i joined science 451. the names of others are: pyrrussians, joker team and g-crew. some people say there are 4000 amigas in private-hands in poland. an aver- age user has expanded 1 mega ram and very often additional 5.25 disc-drive but still only the rich people can buy amigas. (amigas cum mostly from west-germany) the price is compareable with 5 to 6 salaries of an average worker in po- land. i had to do the same. anyway the price-barrier doesn't trouble real fans. we also have computer-clubs here in poland. the biggest is acc, (amiga- computer-club). they have members all over poland. the main function of this club is to spread new stuff all over poland as it is possible here... (ed:wow!) acc also publishes a mag every month, it's called acc-binletyn there you can find some announces of club-members, hardware-news and the main-part deals with reviews. copy-parties?! such things never hap- pen here, people are too lame to do something like this! joke team on the amiga tried it once, but... ok friends, i think that's nearly all i have to say, hope you got enough information about the polish scene. see ya somewhere... yours polonus/s451 action-news party report ------------------------ date : 22.7 place: bocholt time : 1 pm - ... the party took place in a public room, a little bit smaller than the venlo-hall ! only ca 80 people showed up, maybe because there has been the venlo-meeting one day before. the party itself was quite good as there were organized some things to entertain the crowds, for instance a demo-competetion, or a cracker-competition by markus wiederstein : mws gave some originals of a dia-show protected with the new timex v3.0 ! some (wanna-be?) crackers took part, mws decided to give 5 hours ! after the deadline, nobody managed to crack the protection... some groups present at the party were x-ample, mdg, dualis, digital marketing, action, crime, paramount, binary and more... the demo-compettion won crime with their demo called goodbye, second was dualis with dualis-mega-demo, third was might with might-mega-demo, and last trans-x with an interlace- picture-show ! some other positive aspects; a little bar was in the hall, x-ample showed some previous and graphix ! after the computer party, from 8 pm, there was disco-time... (ed. party-facts by dualis!) ok, next time more... send your reports to mamba< staff XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
