*MIXED*
some small stories about some country
scene. this time done by
aztec/wow + THE ENGLISH SCENE +
einstein/wow + THE BELGIAN SCENE +
if you want to write some words about
your countries' scene then please do
write to the editorial!....
if you're have another meaning of
p.e. aztec about the english scene then
do react at it by sending in a letter!
but remember everybody has a right to
speak and to express his own opinion!
when you can't take that then i guess
you're unlucky!...
we know these sort of things (scene-
reviews) have been done already by
several other magazines (recently in
brutal recall) but this idea was only
taken from 1 magazine namely:
GRIDPOINT OBSERVER! which was one of
the best papermags ever produced!
this magazine is still for the people
by the people so if you want to write
something or have anything interesting
everybody is allowed to send in some-
thing!.... your letter (or whatever)
will be analized by a team of nuts and
will later on be published in this
magazine!... we will not be held res-
ponsible if we have offended someone!
this magazine is there to please but
sometimes also to grief the people!
we hereby say goodbye to all guys who
left the scene! but especially to three
guys who really died! namely:
mamasoft/ics,coax/topax,801dc/triad!
* the ENGLISH scene written by aztec/wow
many people seem to think that england
has a cool scene. yes, we have many
elite guys living in this country but
hardly any elite groups!...
england has one well known elite group
called XENTRIX. this group claims to be
'britains number 1' that's only because
they're the only english group in the
scene! xentrix do have some members in
the scene. xentrix do have some mem
norway but is still for 99 procent
british! xentrix are mainly a demo group
and have some good coders like flimbo,
betrayer,case and mad. not to mention ,
chris (ex.tlf) whose also a composer and
is in the music company called: SONIC
GRAFFITY (ed. graffity rulez!)
apart from xentrix there's a new group
who will kick ass! this group is called
THE ELECTRIC BOYS. not many people have
heard of them yet but they say that they
will rule!
members are: ironfist*trisect*moron (
also in paradize!) and some others i can
not remember! TRISECT says he's the best
coder in england and that they had the
first release of PLOTTING and that g*p
recracked it!...
the electric boys should do well as they
have a lot of ambition and they claim
to will become the number 1 in EUROPE
CLIQUE is a turkish group but have just
got an english section! joker was the
in the beginning the only member but
since al bundy and powerdrome left TLS
to join clique they really have taken
off! (ed. taken off to turkey?)
england has a lot of groups who have
some english members like: DOM (nme,dmc,
derbyshire ram,rebel) IKARI+TALENT (doc)
ENIGMA (richie) NATO (joker,spuggy)
BABYGANG (womble,kamikaze) GENESIS (deek
,dawsy,rimtrix,tdm) and of course WOW
(aztec).
the english scene is not all that bad
but i hope more ENGLISH groups are built
so we can really rule!
thanx for reading this
AZTEC/WOW!
and now a jolly jumper story by the
one and only lucky luke! (einstein/wow)
i'll give a small review of my countries
'scene!.... BELGIUM!
it's possible that this review is not at
all objective but i guess if you're
talking about something personal its
mostly subjective, but i'll try not to
mix the facts too much!....
the belgian scene in the beginning was
quite cool for that time!... we had
groups like: LEGEND - NFC - THE BAM -
WOW - CFR.... later a lot of groups
changed names and there were found some
divisions of already existing groups!
namely: STARDOM - ORION - .... we also
had groups like B-ART,DYNAMIC SCIENCE,
but the groups all died or almost died!
... like legend,wow,etc...
p.e. those 2 groups did nothing for
about 2 years but then legend had a
strong comeback and you see what legend
is now!... wow did the same about 6
months later. but new groups were found
here too!....
those groups were:
AXBD - UNICESS - TBP - ROLE - FUEL -
CONTROL - ACID CREW - VERCA - ETC....
of course every begin is quite difficult
but a lot of those new groups got a lot
of reaction because they were (are)
treated like lamers!...
tbp is already dead as some of their
members quit the scene!... (one of them
is lenin/x-f4cg).
control and fuel are fighting hard to
become something!
and role has already proven to be a
good competitor and a fighter when
there are problems in the group!
some verca members later built with
members of MVFS (miami vice floppy
service) the group: ACID CREW!
this group later become acid as they
cooperated with the german group
ACID! this was quite an important
group as midas/acid and the wim/f4cg
were at that moment the best coders in
belgium (the only ones too?).
later some verca members joined LEGEND
while others left the 64 scene and
ALF left to join ROLE!
anyway, fuel is the only 100 procent
belgian crew!...
all others have some members in foreign
countries or are a division of a foreign
group!...
nowadays there are quite a lot of groups
in belgium but a lot of their members
are sometimes lamers or little kids who
pretend to be elite!...
the current groups are:
legend (powerplant,goldfish,brk,lyon,
wave,thunderstruck,...) which is the bes
t group in belgium (in the world?).
verca+china syndrome (???????)
fuel (lars the knight,dennis the milk-
man,lisa the beauty and kirk the brain)
control (lobster,the outlaw,the judge,.)
role (cmr,darkangel,toy,scipio,,axe,...)
transcom (hobbit,reset,kickboxer,...)
argus (speedy,lord joerix,the wim...)
wow (b 'n b,chacke,humanoid,matt,vinzz,
sorex,bruno,apollo,.......)
secure
f4cg (scorpie,tornado,manx,solar,
abigail,...)
brutal (mmc)
enigma (ninja)
guardian angels (effy,lexi,tbg,....)
as a lot of guys don't know some of
these groups they just think that some
divisions of some groups really rule
belgium!... but nothing is more wrong
then this as only LEGEND is for 100
procent producing on their own!...
this means they crack most of their
releases in belgium!...
VERCA+CHINA SYNDROME aren't releasing
very much but from time to time a
crack! (rumours say they should be a
subgroup of legend!... not confirmed!)
FUEL is still in a grow-up process but
this little group has some possibilities
as their members have a lot of ambition!
but sometimes there has to be more then
just ambition!
CONTROL is a group which was started out
of nothing and has taken in members who
were unknown to the rest!... anyway,
i hope for them they'll make it!
TRANSCOM has been quite a revolutionary
group with much cool releases but after
the co-op splitted amd lkj wrote a new
issue of bad news and finally unknown
left the scene the group began to go
downhill again!... anyway, they have
a lot of groups against them but some-
times their actions are justified!...
the belgian guys of transcom are cool
guys ... about the french i don't know
a thing!... anyway, let's hope they'll
be kicking again!...
ROLE, the group of rock'n role!...
yes, r'n role has surely played quite
an important role in their career but
they've shown that they're full of plans
and are cracking also!... they've taken
off on a bad way, but now it can only go
the good way!...
ARGUS is more like a coding group then
a real scene group!... their members are
coders/gfx.... they're planning to make
some games!... their members are mostly
ex-f4cg members!
the we come to my own group!... WOW
this group has one hell of a past (with
x-members like:skin/f4cg,scorpie/f4cg, t
he wim/argus,...). but as i already said
before wow died almost but in 1990
(april/summer) wow really broke through
(with members like: brainkiller (now
legend) - jones - divine - chacke -
humanoid - einstein - hitch - tornado -
shade designs! - etc...). we had about
3 boards and we had quite a lot of
first releases!... but then we lost our
original supplier!... we had sunk right
to the bottom of the ocean but then our
group was enlighted with the joining of
scorpie/crest! but the problems weren't
solved with this!... but scorpie left
and joined f4cg. anyway, we were still
looking for a good original supplier!
we found shelter by buying originals
from legend but as this turned out to
be a mistake we switched over to another
system!... now we're cracking again and
finally released a demo too!...
you can expect much more from us in the
near future as we'll show that belgian
produces more then good beer and a
legend!...
secure only has 1 member in belgium
(the brother of manx/f4cg!)
then we come to f4cg!...
this group is one of the most well-
known groups after legend in belgium!
they have now quite a lot of belgian
members again but in the past the
belgian division was mainly for
spreading the italian cracks!...
they have a lot of good (old...very old
he,scorpie!22,52?) members but they're
quite inactive... anyway, they're
probably quite active but they are more
the output of the group then the input!
the italian guys crack almost everything
and they really do a good job with this!
anyway, the belgian guys have deserved
their place in f4cg but some of them
still think that they're something
because they are a member!...(he manx!)
i really hope manx is better in cracking
then in telephone-terrorising!...(haha)
this division is certainly very active
in spreading the warez of their group!
it's a pity that mao/fen1 and adf don't
live in belgium coz then they would be
a real threat in belgium!...
BRUTAL... with only 1 member namely mmc
also a phone-terrorist!... anyway,
he seems to be a good swapper!...
but butgenbach is full of good swappers!
ENIGMA(ultimate sin!)
GUARDIAN ANGELS is a group which is
mainly belgian and is built by 2 big
friends... now they're a team full of
friends and although they don't release
that much they always try to have cool
releases!... friendship rulez in this
group and that's why it's still alive!
well, before i get a lot of reactions
on this text i have to say this:
'IT'S NOT THE GROUP WHO MAKES THE GUY.
IT ARE THE GUYS WHO MAKE THE GROUP'
or let me reframe it for you:
'A GUY HAS TO PROOF HIMSELF , NOT BY
NAME BUT BY PERSONALITY'
and you can quote me on this!...
anyway, this review is 100 procent
an own opinion and of course it's
possible that there are missing some
big facts (or some minor details) but
i guess you see how our scene is!...
perhaps it hasn't delivered us a lot
of price-winners like germany but at
least the guys are cool enough to make
sure we'll live through this 64-crisis!
but the amiga scene has given us some
price-winners!... you could say we're
the mekka of the amiga scene!...
well, i hope i've made you a bit
wiser by writing this shit!...
if you're interested in doing the same
thing about your countries'scene then
send it to the editorial addresses
or call the hotlines!....
we hereby say hello to these belgian
asskickers:

* THE SILICON LTD. PARTY
a small SILICON LTD. partyreport!...
(ed. oh no not again!)
it was saturday (7july) at about
9.26 a.m. that i had my train here
in ghent-st.pieters!... i took
it to go to antwerp and meet the rest
of my party!....
no only me but also brezjnev sat on
my train!... later tornado/f4cg joined
us!...
in antwerp we met those following:
vinzz,matt and stormlord!...
we now only had to wait after
sorex/wow!...
anyway, we bought our tickets
and began to fool around a bit!...
at the last minute sorex arrived!
anyway, happily for him i'd bought
a ticket for him!... so we sat on the
train to ROOSENDAAL.
there we had to wait about 1 hour and
we went into a waiting room at the
perron!... anyway, it smelled awfull
and the room was filled with a cat-piss
snell!... then a guy remind us we were
in holland and we all understood where
the smell came from!...
anyway, our next train arrived and
after switching over in ROTTERDAM
we took the train to utrecht!
we finally came in utrecht!...
we went to a bus and met:
mmc/brutal,greg/secure,percy/house
designs!... anyway, tornado began
to fool around with mmc and we divided
into 2 little groups! (the real
belgians and the fake (german) belgians
...haha) anyway, we took a bus and
found the partyplace in the einstein-
dreef (what could go wrong with a name
like that?)
after waiting for some minutes and
admiring the picture of sting/enigma
we stood in the entrance!...
then a dutch sucker asked us ...
what our names were... he also said...
all wow members who reserved are in,
so you CAN'T COME IN. we looked at
each other and asked ourselves if
they had hired a clown to amuse us?
anyway, we couldn't laugh about it
but the guy let us in after he saw
we were belgian!... (the belgian
nationality is almost as good as
the american one!).
after coming by from the shock that
we couldn't enter we lived through
another shock as we net: topic/x-
wow now f4cg!... (haha.... just
kidding hilgo). anyway, we realised
we were pretty much represented at
this party. so we felt rather good!
anyway, we also saw the overlord/wow
,ion/htl/bml,curse/silicon ltd.,
shakin'/stash,airwolf/action,pd,
trc,heatwave,focus,paradize,house
designs,...etc...
anyway, we messed around a bit and
later that evening we went out to eat
something!... topic said he knew a
snack-bar and we followed!...
we ate some 'oil-french-puke-fries'
but i and brezjnev couldn't ate'm all!
they were sooo bad!....
anyway, after matt had called out:
'the fries are bad,he?' we took off
in shame and went back to the party-
place!.... in the rooms it was fucking
hot and we sat some time outside where
we met airwolf/action again!...
he had his ghettoblaster with him and
let us hear some 'neggerinnenlein-
lieder'... it was quite cool!
anyway, we also had finnished off our
3 years demo and some of the members
wanted to let it compete in the
demo-competition!... anyway, the demo
wasn't all that special and after
seeing some competitors (pd,focus,
paradize,trc,...) we saw we had done
a little mistake... but we became 6th
and we were happy!... (of course we
didn't get a price!... typical dutch)
but we did get a present!... a
striptease!... this was probably the
only moment that i didn't think off
ny stomach which was groaning a lot!
the only thing which was a bit of a
dissapointment was that the girl
had blond hair!...
i have nothing against black girls
but with blond hair... (bah!)...
anyway, she almost undressed 2 guys
and the party-people had fun with it!
we already left at 7 o'clock coz i
didn't feel very good anymore!...
well, after all the party was good
but it also had some desadvantages
namely: it was too hot, too litle
room and the entrance number sucked!
but i met some cool friends and that
makes it allright!....
i've been to the horizon party in
sweden too and that party had a lot
of visitors too but the party in
utrecht was more enjoyable and
a lot cheaper!...
and an extra strip number!...
* AT'T RULES!
let's talk now about something which
happened on monday the 5th august!...
because APOLLO was away and we wanted
to have a CONFERENCE call we called
up the cool dudez of the RTT which
is the belgian telephone company!...
we asked them to have a conference call
and everything was allright!...
we had set the time at 10 o'clock
in the evening and were anxiously
waiting for chacke's voice!....
the ones who had to participate
were: chacke/sorex/bruno/einstein/
vinzz/matt/stormlord and humanoid!
(wow rulez... well, at least in our
minds!... and in manx')
well, some of those participants
had never been present on a conference
call!...
anyway, we waited and finally the
phone rang!.... it was a lamer from
the RTT itself!... who said:
conference call
1 minute,please
well, after waiting about 30 seconds
we could here the sqeeky voice of
chacke!... but all we heard was:
HELLO,HELLO,HELLO....
of course we all answered with ....
HELLO,HELLO,HELLO....
but nothing much happened!....
i myself began to call out words like
god damned,shit,assholes,etc.... but
mothing much happened!....
anyway, chacke didn't hear a thing
either and was calling our names:
david,geert,....
really funny to hear but still lousy
when you can't tell a thing...
now we feel how a guy whose clinical
dead feels!... (when he can't talk
but still knows what's going on!)...
anyway, the cool conference call ended
with those few (lousy) excuses!...
sorry sir.... we can't get through to
you but please leave your name and
number and we'll get back to you...
or was it: sorry sir, it's impossible.
it's hopeless!... the line isn't good
enough!...
later we found out that chacke had
answered to this sentence!....
it's not the line which is hopeless
it's the RTT itself!....
well, this lovely evening ended with
a bitter tone of depression for
some of the participants but we won't
grief for long as there will follow
more conference calls!...
perhaps the next one will be more
enlightning then this one...
as you might guess i'm trying hard
to fill this chapter because this
chapter is set at 69 pages!
this is the exact amount which the
one file version had as a total
amount!.... so this could mean
we have over 680 pages every month
now....
but this is just a beginning!...
next month we'll try to put some nice
looking effect into this magazine and
little by little we'll improve this
magazine!... so send in your requests
of how this magazine must look like
coz the only reason for releasing this
is because it's made BY the people,
FOR the people!....

trying to end this chapter:

scorpie/f4cg
TSJECHOSLOVAKIA
