we can't offer you anything else
than the report about the eces-show
in london as it seems there weren't
any other parties !
therefor we got 2 reports, the first
one made by richie/illusion, the
second by aaron/fairlight !
(thanks guys!)
the reports differ from each other,
so there will be no boredom by
reading both !

here's the long awaited ces-report,
exclusive written for mamba by richie
of illusion.
'the queues were longer and obviously
there were more people. this was de-
finately better than last year,
although 1988 was the best i ever
attended. anyway the following dudes
were the ones i met this year:
excell,fletch,doc and just ice/ikari,
bod and xxx/talent,icecube,jade,rebel
dmc,tricket,karate kid and animal/dom
solar,wim and some other dudes/f4cg,
ninja/groupless,goblin and antichrist
of gp,rap x/class(3030/ex-htl),sauron
garfield,rebel mc and myself/illusion
weetebix and trans x/oracle, even
steve of zenith who quit over a year
ago mad the the effort to come.
there were no fights as promised.
nobody saw any of the legend-members,
although they were certain that they
would come,but maybe they were !!!
poor dogfriend had his ticket and
hotel ready, but he had trouble in
denmark and wasn't allowed to leave
the country (ed. maybe because he did
not pay the phone-bill ?!!)
there was a rumour going around that
omg/amok was at the show, then, an
hour later everyone was saying that
omg wasn't there, but antichrist was,
so take your pick !! goblin/gp was
stealing everything in sight - god
knows how he stole midnight
resistance by ocean, it was locked up
in a glass-cabinet. i guess that
friday night was a bad night for
goblin - he was reported to have been
arrested for carrying an illegal
substance (hash) by the london cops!
you should have come around my part
goblin, it's safier !
anyway, the show included stars like
betty boo and two teenage mutant
ninja turtles live on stage !
that stand also had a large video-
screen with music, but i can't
remember which company held that
stand !!
a few people saw harry/711, who is
now totally legal and was with his
company. at 5.00 pm - the end, excell
doc, sauron, rebel mc, steve and
myself were the only ones to go down
to the pub afterwards, although ninja
and the three f4cg-dudes were
supposed to come, we waited for them
as they were setting up a deal to
sell their game, but we had to go
(sorry dudes!) and steve and myself
could only stay for one drink
(because i had to see my girlfriend),
though i was told the others had a
great time afterwards !
all in all, the show was better than
the previous year, although there
wasn't any release over the three-day
period (except for gp's midnight
resistance!) and not one group was
spreading discs like it used to be
still the people who attended gave
the c64 a live that it deserves ! '
-
the european computer entertainment
show (eces) 1990!
first,the show is from now on called
eces,the european computer entertain-
ment show,and that was exactly what
it was,no hardware,only software.
too bad for us who had come to see
new dos-es,cartridges,harddrives,etc.
but then the software was all for
amiga,but most of it will be conver-
ted to 64 so we will face an exciting
winter i guess. games like robocop 2,
paradroid 90,nightbreed,test drive 3,
rubicon (gollum's new game,a mix be-
tween flimbo's quest and hawkeye!),
elvira and many more.
like always ocean had the biggest
stand with about 20 sega machines,a
10 tv megascreen and a big place. but
some major companies like system 3
weren't there and rumours came up
that system 3 were bankrupt and could
not afford a stand this year.
for us as hardware freaks there were
adverts for the commodore christmas
show,which will be held at the london
novotel in hammersmith on november
16th-18th 1990. the advert said that
this would be the greatest event of
the year and it would show 1000's of
of new commodore products like:
a2000, a3000, c64gs (cartridge model)
and much more.call da ticket-hotline
+uk XXXXXXXXXXXXXX if you'r inter-
rested!
ok so,two days before the show we
(aaron,strider,gollum,excalibur,black
shadow/fairlight & istvan/red sector
& dave/warfalcons)took off for heath-
row airport/london. the flight was
fine,we even exchanged addresses with
the cabin crew,the pretty stewardes-
ses!
we checked in at our hotel which was
quite nice for 650 pounds each...
and then went shopping for the rest
of this day and wednesday at the awe-
some warehouse streets of oxford
street and tottenham court road. for
you guys who like roleplaying should
stop by at the forbidden planet and
you who like music can drop in on the
virgin megastore,a big megacenter,
three floors full of cd's,tapes,video
and records!both on tottenham c.road.
we also met hobbit/fltcom this day
and he was really cool but he had to
share room with black shadow who kept
on farting 24 hours a day.poor hobbit
(hob hob to you great pal!)!
on thursday then we had tickets for
the company-only days so we all got
in as fairlight hardware members. but
they did look curious when seeing
that we all were only around 18-20
years old.
these two days we met no illegals. i
guess they didn't get tickets for
these two days. but the show was cool
just enough people although it was a
smaller show that last year. hobbit
was walking around,showing some sam-
ples of his graphics to some french
companies like infogrames and ubi-
soft and they were really impressed.
good luck hobman!
saturday the first day of the con-
sumer days and the place was smacked
with people! queues stood up to 5 kms
away and it took almost 3 hours for
the unlucky to get in!
here we met cool guys like jrc and
jr predator/blasters (of course!),
the whole ikari-talent crew, sauron
and garfield/illusion, jade,rooze,dmc
icecube,tricket,karate kid/dominators
(no dogfriend because he wasn't al-
lowed to leave denmark by the police)
solar and friends/f4cg,goblin/genesis
antichrist (omg) with friends/amok
(since this is supposed to be an ob-
jective report i won't say what i
think about omg but i sure don't
count him to the 'cool' category!),
peter vonkman/ruthless and editors of
remark,markus wiederstein/digital
marketing,charles deenen,for you on
amiga, zelnik/oracle didn't show up.
for you on 64, there wasn't anyone
who kicked omg's asseither, but we
had a nice chat though:
aaron: hey! you always talk bullshit!
omg: no,i think you always talk bull-
shit!
aaron: oh yeah?! then why did you
write in sex'n'crime that only
snacky managed a 100% version
of the german shit-game logo?!
only snacky made a bugged ver-
sion,almost all others cracked
it fine!
omg: wrong! it's the other way round!
aaron: fuck you!
omg: fuck you too!
...and here we split up...
the show was filled with people and
one could hardly walk for all that
lamers!
monday afternoon we went home, back
to negrofree sweden!
naughty things we did:
*there were many amigas up everywhere
and we knicked around 30 disks and a
few of these were firstreleases.
*strider had 10 tickets left so he
tried to sell them outside in the
queues but was caught by the cops.
he stuck the tickets into his under
pants and the cops couldn't find
anything when they frisked him. they
took his name and address and tore
his ticket to pieces and was excor-
ted off the premisis!
*goblin,the blasters and me took a
lot of pictures of all the girls in
the stands (check cccp!) and goblin
and jr predator took pictures of
eachother when killing children's
balloons with a needle! haha!
*79,oxford street,wine bar, was where
we spent our evenings drunk like
hell and i've never seen so much
niggers before! the music was cool,
hip hop and such good stuff... but
the worst thing was that the white
girls preferred the black guys! when
we asked them to dance, they said
'fuck off' and then went to some
niggers and started talking!
everywhere white girls - black guys!
urk! anyway the last day i managed
to puke (some others too, i think!)
this reminds of a story i heard that
sauron and garfield also managed to
puke all over richie's car! anyway
the last evening we went out from the
pub for some fresh air, but we were
not let in again because we were too
drunk... then istvan/red sector (now
fairlight) started calling them
'bloody niggers' and just begged for
trouble but nothing happened and we
weren't let in!
on our way home we took a piss at
oxford street (maybe a pic in cccp!).
we carded two sega megadrives and
two atari lynxes... they're really
cool, especially the sega drive
(warmly recommended!).
