Reformation #3 FairLight
'
From our lives beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
They´re the ones to see
Salute to another issue of our mag. Well, what happend? TCC is
over and therefore quite much happend nowadays. Read it in the
following chapters.
Well, it seems that more and more guys believe that Black Priest
makes this mag nearly alone but that is wrong (!) so we´ll print
here our organisation, as Enduro thinks he got not enough fame!?
Hmm.. ok..
After Enduro and TG-ACME joined, they more and more made
the editor works. That means that they send Black Priest the most
text of this mag and Black Priest makes then the selection of
which of the text will come in the final issue. So you can see we
work side on side and that is the secret of that mag.
To show our work more exactly get this:
Black Priest / FairLight
organisator, publisher of the mag, some editor works, main
interviewer, selects the outfit and design, chief and writer of
this mag
Enduro / FairLight
2nd organisator, editor, most text by him, spreader, scandanavian
party mover
TG-ACME / Epic
little editor works as he is quite busy at the time, spreader
In future we´ll also tell you who makes the chapter, this will look
like this:

conferences with...
Airwolf/Genesis*Project
... as he is at the moment the #1 spreader!
The Reformation FairLight
Reactions - Feedback
After the 2nd issue we got some real constructiv critics.
Well, after all the "great mag, proffesional mag,..." there were
also some negativ critics like:
a) To few text...
Hmm, yes it´s not that big filled but I guess you got a
wrong view because of the proportional charset as we
guess there is at least as much text as in Shock. Anyway
as you see this time we have really much.
Another point is that the News chapter has the highest
priority and so when we get some real hot news we release
a issue also if we don´t have filled all chapters. Guess you
understand this.
b) Many scene records are wrong...
Well, we aren´t gods so we can´t know all. Just help us and
tell us the right records and we´ll print it. As more guys
who help us as faster we´ll have serious records.
c) Vote System with dead people
Yes, we admit you are right but we guess that a Doc,
who is down at the moment, knows the cracking scene
better than a newcomer cracker.
Another thing is that we think about to change this
charts system again.
1) To restart the normal charts (Pah how lame)
2) To make normal charts where all known cracker may
vote for crackers, all known musicians may vote for
musicians, and so on...
Time will show what happens...

ANTIC
>Creeper/FLASH INC. joined.
CAMELOT
>Black Samurai (GFX) joined but behind lies a dirty story:
At the christmas party in Denmark he renamed to "Jim"
and joined G*P! He was kicked after one day!
Later on he took back his old handle and joined "WRATH
DESIGNS". Some days before TCC! But at the party he
wanted to join CAMELOT but was not accepted because he
wasn´t "elite" enough. So he walked over to the NOICE gang
and joined them! 2 minutes later he left them again and
joined CAMELOT!
CREST
Many guys asked about Megabyte, because it was very silent
about him since ages. Well, we phoned him and know now what´s
on:
>At the moment he is still at the army which he joined in Oct.
1992. His army works will be ended quite soon now. While this
period he quitted his scene works. He is not sure if he will return
in the scene after the army but he will finish his began GFX
works because it would be a pitty if they would lose.
Btw, he also promised me that the CREST demo WILL come (!)
sooner or later! At last I should tell you that he is very sorry
about his giga-delay.
Some guys were asking for Drax so we´ll tell you what´s up with
him:

very few tunes on C64 now. His last you can hear in the new

- All types of groups have the change to enter the charts, not
only Demo or Crackergroups!
- All members in the groups on the charts are at least registrated
in one counted magazine.
- Each point is count a member or a mag receives in the selected
disc-magazines.

So when you wanna join TRANCE Games Inc. contact one of your TRANCE contacts and ask him for further informations! - With SLEEPWALKER, OCEAN released maybe the last game for the C-64 !!! - The rumours about the end of ZEPPELIN on C64 are wrong!

Interviews
Introduction This time we can present you interviews with the following guys: Page 2 Airwolf/SUCCESS Page 3/4/5 Crossfire/EPIC
Airwolf/Success tells...

TR = The Reformation
A = Airwolf / Success
TR: Salute Norman! First of all tell us some personal facts about
yourself please.
A: Ok man, I´m one of the big old guys on C-64, and you can see
some facts about me on the LIGHT party !!!!
TR: Well, nowadys quite much SUCCESS stuff is spreaded. So how
would you describe the organistation in SUCCESS?
A: I think the organisation is not so bad but I have some
problems to get all SUCCESS warez fast, but now I go to some
friends here in my city to get the warez from the modem!
TR: So have you known that Defjay/SCS quitted?
A: Defjay quitted?? I don´t know !? When some members (SCS)
send me some SCS warez and on the disc the note of the this
SCS members I have not see that Defjay have quitted!
TR: OK, many guys says that you´re the megaswapper #1. What´s
your secret and how long does it need to get so famous as
swapper?
A: I think that you must send cool, you must send letters (hehe)
and you must send not 1 sending in 1 month! I think that I´m
a good megaswapper but I think myself that I´m not the best!
TR: Does you fear the post or cops with so many contacts?
A: This time I think no! My problems with the cops are over!
TR: Are there some interesting insider facts about SUCCESS?
A: No but "Sackers to the wall"!
TR: What´s up with the promised mag from you and L.A.Style?
A: Oh we have this time some problems, but I must spread fast,
faster sendings to my contacts and LA Style had some
problems with his board! The coding, GFX, music are ready,
but I hope we can release our first issue on the LIGHT party!
TR: What do you think about the coming SUPER NITENDO scene?
A: SUPER NES rules !!! S.NES is this time the best, like the GFX,
crack, Intros, demos, and next will come a magazine on S.NES
and SEGA!
I think all guys on the (L)Amiga have a S.NES+copystation and
I think that the SUPER NES will come to the C64 too!
TR: Well, as you are an infamous party mover, please tell us who
must not be absent in an ultimate party?
A: Aslive, TBB, Idol, Baze, Surfer, Majesty, Street Tuff, Walker,

my vote)
TR: Thanks for all these letters you typed for this interview!
Keep improving your swapping activities aaaaand.... bye..... ..! .?
A: Thanks... I hope we can meet us on the Light party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interviewer was Black Priest
Crossfire/EPIC tells...
Well Guys, as again many rumours are spreaded about Crossfire
he asked ous to interview him and so we gave him the chance to
clear these rumours with this interview.
Besides I guess it´s a quite interresting interview!
TR = The Reformation
C = Crossfire / EPIC
TR: Salute Kim! First some personal facts please.
C: Well, my real name is, as you can read above, Kim Andersen.
I´m 19 years old, 20 on 13/06, I´m 1.80m tall, weight is about
80kgs.,which is a bit too much, but I work out alot.. My daily
work is at a army-base 350km away from my home, I work
there as an "Konstabelf" which is abit like the american cor-
poral I guess..
TR: What´s your opinion to co-op´s? Now some fanatics also did
triple ones.
C: Well, I guess a co-op is OK, aslong as people in it can go on
with it without disputes.. You all know , that we in EPIC were
in co-op with DEVICE recently, I think it worked out pretty
well, though it lasted for such a short time..
back in my old "cool" group HOLOCAUST we were also in co-
op with a group which was called FRESH for a brief moment,
so I guess you say I have my experience with co-op´s..
Still, I find triple co-op´s abit exacturated.. or am I wrong?
TR: Do you think that anyone can find an uncrackable pro-
tection? "Toki" almost made it.
C: Hmm.. tricky question.. I truly don´t know.. I´ve never meet a
game I couldn´t handle if I just gave myself the time it needed,
but then again I´ve never had any of the legendary "hard" ones
like for instance "Toki" like you mentioned!
TR: Would it be exciting if you would join an absolute unknown
group, which you make to an elite one?
C: Hmm.. ask yourself the question, could I do it.. Hmm.. actually,
the day EPIC was formed I swore to god it would be my last
group, so would I leave someday I would leave the scene
together with it.. it sounds like a fun idea, but naahh.. not for
me thanks anyway..
TR: OK, tell us your opinion to ...
... the reproaches of Jack Alien about your cracks.
C: Haha.. first of all, I have to say I´ve always had a hard time
taking that guy seriously.. I guess the whole reason he´s pissed
with me, was the fact that he got kicked out of IMAGE almost
a year ago.. I don´t know, also I don´t give a shit about the
things he rattles off, but I really don´t care about him, it seems
the hardest attack he can make towards me is to write a anti-
note.. Now, yoy gotta agree with me, that´s pretty weak, isn´t
it?
Still, alot of people acts big in my face.. take for instance a guy
called Oxidy/Fairlight.. Now, personally, I´ve got nothing
against this guy at all.. I spoke to him briefly in Aars with a
huge hangover while I was arguing with DMI/ACRISE, so I
said something to him, can´t exactly remember what, just to
get him off me till I was finished talking to DMI. Perhaps I was
pretty rude, but I made several attempts getting in touch with
him both under and after the party, and nothing happend,
until I called "Warez Aquarium" lately and saw a pretty nasty
comment about me..
Then, finally there is Satan/GP, who, according to himself,
owns the scene.. attacking me all the time, no reason, I hardly
know the guy, but in my eyes he is even too stupid to put
ordinary human-sense in the head off.. Heck, he finds it
amusing to call me up in the middle of the night and hang up
the phone, when I take it.. pretty childish, isn´t it? Who can
have the slightest bit of respect for such a guy!
-->
Crossfire/EPIC tells ff.
Infact, people who don´t like me, I don´t give a shit about..
Indeed, why should I?
TR: ... the current modem scene?
C: Wowsers, I never regretted buying a modem.. I started out with
a 1200-Bauders, but just got a 2400-Bauder the very day I´m
giving this interview as a matter of fact!
The modemscene is cool, after I started out here I can´t under-
stand that I found the mail-scene so good before.. These days
I couldn´t survive without a modem.. that´s one thing which is
sure..
But talking about the modem-scene. I would like to make a
short advert, if you don´t mind..
I´ve opend a board myelf now... It´s called "The gateway" and
runs on Aktie-Modded C-Base.. only 5 days after I opened it,
nearly 20 had locked on, and about 85% of them are top-elite..
so if you´re another one of this kind, please don´t hestigate to
call:
The Gateway
+XX/XXXX-XXXX
ask me or my two co-sysops Loyality/EPIC or Decade/EPIC
for access.. there´s a special sub for special friends of ours, so it
is a shame to miss.. Call right now!!!
TR: ... the Super Nitendo scene?
C: Beats me.. haven´t tried it out yet.. I´ve simply been too busy..
TR: ... the difference between Amiga and C64 boards?
C: Hmm.. I never called any Amiga (or PC for that matter!) boards
so I can´t tell.. But I find C64-boards cool, in europe, aswell as
in the states..
TR: ... the so called "Elite groups"?
C: Well, elite.. hard to answer, cause in my eyes there are only
very few elite-groups around.. -LEGEND- is elite with all their
full -pricer- releases, infact I was glad to see them back..
-ILLUSION- is cool as always.. -TALENT- is starting to get
back now, another great thing..
Hmm.. I don´t like the word and the whole elite-concept, but
some are for sure: Legend, Illusion, RSI, Chromance, Success,
F4CG.. coming to think about it, I haven´t seen anything from
any other groups for quite a long time..
TR: ... your enemies?
C: Well, as I said before, when I think of my enemies, people like
Satan/GENESIS, Oxidy/FLT(?), Jerk Alien+Cunt Zero, I can´t
really get myself to dislike them, cause they all act like spoiled
kids who, for the first time in their life, did not get their
will..
TR: ... our mag?
C: I was positively surprised when I saw the first issue of your
mag.. I think it´s very cool, nice and different outfit and so on,
only you should get more news, etc. But I know it´ll come in the
near future..
(red.: Just read the Editorial and that will be cleared!)
TR: ... the HOLOCAUST times?
C: Haha, oh well.. everybody knows "Exory/Holocaust" don´t they?
Well, I regret those times for sure, they sure as hell destroyed
alot of things for me when I returned to the scene 8 months
later! Still, I think the only reason who bothers to tell this
thing as a secret is Satan/GP. This jerk still haven´t realized
that I told it to the scene myself over a half a year ago. (The
note "Exory´ here!")..
-->
Crossfire/EPIC tells end
TR: Well, so much about your opinions. How was the troubles
with Mason?
C: Hmm.. no trouble.. Well, he got booted from EPIC shortly after
the birth because of reasons I´d rather not goo into now, but I
talk to him often, and as far as I know, we are good friends..
Hard to tell, cause people backstabs each. Others daily, so who
knows..?
TR: How would you describe the organistation in EPIC?
C: We all work side by side.. The members are: Cruel and Clive
in Belgium, Merlin in Holland, Sonic in Germany, The Torch in
Sweden, TG-ACME in Norway, here in Denmark we have
Decane,Flower,Jason,Marie and Loyalty, not to forget our
american member Dutchman who runs our WHQ "Power
Surge - XXX XXX XXXX)..
and finally ofcourse myself in DK!
TR: Who are you original suppliers?
C: Alot of different people.. some I get from our members,
others I buy from Distribution Companies, etc.
TR: At last I give you the change for some words to the scene
outside about your disputed cracks.
C: About the bugged cracks.. I never claimed to be perfect, so I
won´t deny the fact that I may have release some cracks that
bugs somewhere, I must admit I don´t always have the time to
do a 100% check, but I doubt it´s as many as Jerk Alien talked
about.. He just wanna make it look worse that it is..
TR: Ok, and finally, wanna say hello to any of your friends..
C: Yeah, all in EPIC, Lexi/LEGEND, Atmos/ILL, Tricket/DOM,
Equinox/EMPIRE,Ice Breaker/DWI, Swan Song/DEMONIX,
and whoever else I´ve learnd to know pretty good since I
started calling out..
TR: OK, then.. let´s say "Thanks Kim" for your work..
C: Hey, you´re welcome any time, Gerald..

Wizard of Taipan recracks?
Article by Dannie/Success
...as I looked through my sendings I found a swapping offer by a
guy called Wizard/Taipan. I looked through his disc and found a
file called "Magic Fields+3/TP". You should know this game was
Success first released and it was cracked and supplied by me.
So I was interested to see their (Taipan´s) version.
After I saw the intro it was obvious, that this group is one of the
lowest, but let´s go on...
After I´ve preessed space I nearly felt off my chair... their trainer
menu looked exactly the same as the one I´m using!! Just 3 lines of
text were missing. Well, I examined the memory and there it
was:
The trainer menu was located at $7a00 (in my version of Magic
Fields it´s placed at $5a00). I compared ´their´ trainer menu with
the one I used in my version and guess what? Yep, it was exactly
the same, byte after byte !!! (They only changed the hi-byte
of the text-adress!)
S those suckers just moved my trainer menu from $5a00 to $7a00
OK, I thought, let´s go on... if you see a cheat in my version, than
the hi-saver is also dis-abled (put $2c in $c261), and this can also
found in Taipan´s version.
Next thing: My version offers a level-skip. Also Taipan´s version
does this.
The only thing is that both routines are located on the same
adress ($801d) and they look exactly the same !!!
So it´s really a fine recrack you fags in Taipan did. You guys really
must have nerves. You didn´t even change my trainer-menu,
even the colours are the same !!!
In your (totally lame) intro you used a nice slogan: "MESS WITH
THE BEST, DIE LIKE THE REST"
I can only tell you: "Continue this way, and your slogan will come
true, soon." (especially the 2nd part of it)!
If anyone wants to check both versions out, feel free to write to
my adress.
PS. Hey you lamers in Taipan, I want a explanation for all that
shit!!!!!!!!!

Pal/NTSC madness
Article by Silver Surfer/Success
The reason why I wrote this, is that I´m fed up with the crazy
situation in the scene these days!
As some of you may remember, I have been in the scene for
almost 10 years now. But it seems that all people who are modem
traders have lost their sences!
Back in the old days, a first release was a game which was re-
leased by a cracking group before anyone else!
(That´s why it´s called first release)
But that seems not longer to be the case! Nowadays a crack must
be fixed to NTSC before it´s called a first release.
This seems rather strange to me! Why does a game need to be
fixed for use is NTSC before we in europe may call it a first
release?
Besides this there is an other problem. Fixing games seems to be
harder and harder and many good fixers have left the scene...
That´s why we in SUCCESS have decided to go back to the old days
methode!
Whenever we crack a game and we are the first to release it, we
call it first release. We put it on the US and euro boards and
spread it by mail.
At the same time we give it to some US fixers to have it NTSC
fixed for the USA scene!

The Computer Crossroad´93 report
Article again by our party reporter: Enduro/FAIRLIGHT so
prepare on a interesting report!
Well, after the christmas party it was time to be present at a
mega party again. This time at 29-31 May in Goeteborg, Sweden!
The party was held in one very big hall and there was space for
over 3000 visitors but only 1700 showed up all in all (Amiga+C64+
PC+Atari)!
Near the hall there was a big amusement park with many cool
attractions (Hey got stuck Aaron!?) this was the real cool thing
about the party, not the party itself! Many discos and so on was
also in the neighourhood so no problems to enjoy ourselves, hehe!
But those who actually stayed at the party all time, can I under-
stand why they didn´t have the time of their life...
KYD/BALLE held their second concert and it was much better
than the one in Aars! After that, there were some movies shown
at the big screen, but most of them were very old! In opposite to
Aars, you were allowed to sleep in the party hall, but for the
youngest, there were also a special "sleep hall"! Also a cafeteria
was found with the hottest "Hackerburgers" around! (Nice sales-
girl too..)
The deadlines appeared on the second day and there were some
problems for ANTIC to hold them, but did manage it anyway,
hmm! At 13.00 the GFX-compo was on and the piccies held a very
high standart!
Compeditors like Ogami,Joe,Creeper,Dragon,Electric,Death and
the last years winner TMT were in! Great art from everyone!
Later the music-compo started, also here some cool musics, and
Ed,Creeper and Joe shocked us with amazing digisounds!
The great event started at 21.00, the demo-compo! After rather
low quality in Aars, this compo amazed even the PC+Amiga
owners! Groups like Censor,Antic,Oxyron,Booze Design,Noice
thrilled us all and great apploudes were heard all over the place!
(The FLT-demo called "Runemania" got the most,or?)
The last day was a standartday with the usual copying of discs and
so on.. At 15.00 the price celebration was held, and the funny
thing was that Ed/Wrath Designs didn´t want to accept his victory
in the music-compo, but wanted to give his money to Pri/Oxyron
who didn´t place himself anywhere! Neither Pri wanted the money
so at last Ed took´em...
(strange world eh!?)
After the celebration, the party ended quite and peacefully...
Party-Rating (just TCC) : 40%
Party-Rating (all in all) : 80%
The Reformation FairLight
More facts about the party
- There were about 150 C-64 guys which is the lowest score ever!
Does this mean that the scene is nearly dead, or?
- In one of the attractions called "Flumeride" (A waterype roller-
coaster), Aaron/FLT got stuck and two workers had to pull him
out of there! He was too heavy because of all water, right
Sillen?
- Creeper/Antic surprised us all, because he wasn´t ill this time,
but ANTIC kept the honour because Joe puked twice!
- An enormus guy showed up and everyone thought it was Air-
wolf, but not! Right behind Airwolf came withat least 100
pounds lighter weight! Good work, Norman!
- Some Neonazis explained their ideas of a new Sweden, but were
thrown outside till they changed their minds!
- Surfer/ACTIVE had a girlcompo with the masterhunter
Enduro (me) and thought he won after talked to a four years
younger virgin! (Unfair play, I say) Surfer did also bribe some
friends with pictures of his idol "Rosanne Barr" (Wonder why?)
but that gave him a bad influence, hehe!
The result isn´t yet ready because of all minus points scored by
Surfer!
- The coolest group at the party was "Fairlight-Amiga" because
with their nice temper, everyone sang "Halleluja".
- The most scared guy was Black Samurai/CAMELOT after re-
ceving a message with the words: "You´re mine!" (Mr.Mister
was it you??)
- Hmm, TDK/LEGEND and Jive/MANIAX should have went
with Airwolf´s car to the party but didn´t show up!
- Someone got his A1200 with equipment stolen, return it to the
party team please!
- A funny thing is that Joe/ANTIC and Ed/WRATH are "Twins"!
This is a historical moment, don´t you think? Congratulations
ruling twins!

1st vector cubes
This was made by Maduplec in his quite new demo called "Wild".
He also was surprised that noone made this effect before as it was
shown on Amiga ages ago and he made the routine a year ago but
now finally released!
1st vector projections
Made by TTS/Oxyron in Coma Light 10.
1st bitmap vector box
Again made by TTS/Oxyron in Coma Light 10. To realize this
effect TTS used 6534 multicolored plots. And of course all is
realtime.
1st filled rubber vectors
Done by Axis/Oxyron in Coma Light 10. Of course realtime too!
