          LAMERS  WHAT HOW AND
          LAMERS? WHAT?HOW?AND???

 Only the word make all the scene guys
either angry, totally pissed off, or
simply confused. How the hell can some
guys define the word lamer? Or, even
better... How is a lamer acting?

 Coders, swappers and crackers have got
their own opinions about lamers, and
what that bloody word means. Let's first
see what the word "LAMER" really means,
if that is neat.. ..  .

Lame  /Leim/ Adj. Not able to walk
             normally because of an
             injury or defect :
             -- in the left leg.

So, this is all, huh?
Yes, it goddamn is. Anyway, for the
scene guys I stated that there must be
different meanings behind that word.

THE CODERS

 For coders, the lamers are rippers.
Though not only the rippers are lamers.
A lamer is also a guy that look through
the code, or sneaklooking at some
of his, the ace's, great routines, which
not even Einstein understands..
Coders who make demos with a lack of
skill are lamers. Anyway, this places
things in another shade, light then,
if you prefere. Have all these acecoders
of today always been knowing and able
to handle cyckles, timing and for an
example sprites from the very moment
they owned their computer?
 Ok, then we know what a lame coder is,
don't we? A lamer is a coder who can't
do a sideborderscroll with a multiplexer
and a fat plotter above it all...

THE CRACKERS

 For crackers, a lamer is a RE-crakcer
and a complete cartridge cracker. To
release a game with so bloody cool
trainers and IFFL-packed levels is a
must, or? And so many ways to judge a
cracker! How can we know if the -Top 5-
crakcers doesn't use a cartridge to
search for trainers, which some crakcers
have said.. "Since xxxx's cartridge was
destroyed, he was not able to do more
than ONE trainer."
 It is faster and easier to find some
trainers in that way, and the result is
still fucking the same!
 Are the lame crackers "singlefilegame-
lamers- without knowledge of the more
advanced stuff, like IFFL or MUFFLESDAVE
or IFFPU.SSY? Or more easy things as
ordinary levelpacking?
Most definity, they are lamers.. .???
Ofcourse are all the crackers blessed
with a gift from birth that they handles
IFFL and filescanning the first day they
have their computer.

THE SWAPPERS

 For swappers, the worst nightmare is to
receive a disk with old uninteresting
games or even older demos.
Who are these swappers who starts as a
cool megaswapper after three weeks?
Can you tell me?
 A friend of mine wanted to start some
sereous swapping, and I helped him out.
(To be honest, mainly because we needed
a new swapper in our group, BUT also
because I know how hard it is to start!)
Before he joined, he sent some fucking
hot (I mean HOT!) stuff, but still many
guys didn't answer anyway. So, we let
him join, and after the second sending,
many more sent back.
 Are then a swapper lame, only because
he is in the wrong group, or in no
group at all?  Let's change point of
view. If a swapper in either GP, Legend
Enigma, Crest or some like that, sends
out 50 sendings, to new swappers (to
him then..) I bet more than 40 would
write back, even if he sent some "OLD"
stuff...
 So, the definition of a lame swapper
is this : A mailtrader, in wrong group,
no matter how cool stuff, or how cool
he is..  .
 This might ofcourse vary from time to
time, and from person to person. But, I
know that when I joined PARAMOUNT, I got
by far more responce..  .

FINISHING OFF

 We would like to get some reactions to
this theme, to start a discussion about
the -LAMERS-.
 Anyway, don't judge me after reading
this tiny article. Note that I wrote it
because I wanted to see blood after it.
Ofcourse I hope there will be many, many
letters about this..

             Yours, Tango'n Cash / CROSS
----------------------------------------
DID YOU KNOW
DID YOU KNOW...

... that Tango'n Cash/CROSS bought a
    SUBARU 1.8 Gti?

... that Penthagon/X-RAY has 479 con-
    tacts? (4-2-1992).

... that Depeh/ANTIC got 17 years?
    (25.1)

... that Maduplec/CREST real is Martin
    Arentoft?

... that Glasnost/CAMELOT was the first
    who made a TV-Vector like the one
    in "Brutality"? However Flamingo
    didn't ripped the idea! Both got
    the idea from an Amiga demo.

... that Fat Rat/NUTS/TRAITORS and Yup/
    OFFENCE is one person? Also The
    Mutant Refridgerator is Red Wiz.
    The reason why they have 2 lables
    is because under the NUTS label they
    release their not so good parts. See
    it as fake label. However "Orgin of
    Nuts" was great for a "fake" demo.

... that the ORIGO demo which should be
    out since January will be soon
    finished!

... that Goblin/LIGHT got 18 years old
    on 13-2-1992? Now he'll soon get his
    driving license.

... that the producer of "Sysipus" Chris
    Cemper was the one who started the
    World News saga?

... that Austria rules Olympia 1992?
    (After our 13th medal we kicked the
    record of 1964! Now we've 21!)

        THE END OF OUR C64 SCENE!
        THE END OF OUR C64 SCENE!

Yes dudes we reached the last period of
             the C64 scene!

                   WHY
                   WHY?

Well, the reason is clear or why do you
think that many guys quit? Sure! Because
they are totally fed up with the live
inside the scene. Just look this
guys/groups quitted just some weeks ago:

          JCH / VIBRANTS to PC
             Sting / GENESIS
             Maniac / ELITE
              Conan / ELITE

                BLACKMAIL
              COSMOS DESIGN

  And the scene is boring! Let's think
   about the reasons why it's getting
                 boring.

It's for sure the fact that just very
few big firms product games for the C64.
Nowadys many scene guys wrote some shit
game, and sell it to any shitty firm
like GAME ON or MAGIC DISK! And exactly
these games destroyed the fun! Mostly
the games are so bad that they aren't
playable.
There is just 1 reason which brings some
light in the scene - the DEMO scene.
The demos which are released nowadays
are real a kick of smash-code!
especially ANTIC,CAMELOT,Ex-BONZAI and
CENSOR made a real good job!

However time will show when the scene is
               real dead!
----------------------------------------
            PADUA SAYS: YES!
            PADUA SAYS: YES!

Do you still remember to PADUA as they
started their opinion poll if they
should start coding demos again?

Well, after all guys said YES (except
Argos/OREGON) they decided to start
again coding!
But at the moment they've some internal
problems. (e.g. Lubber was kicked be-
cause he didn't finished his game)
