brief venlo-december report
---------------------------
when i arrived in venlo, i was quite
surprised, because the hall was good
filled. i thought that it'd be a cool
meeting this month, but i was wrong.
most of the dudes were amiga-freax or
lamers. only a few cool guys showed
up like x-ray, culture, crest, crazy,
gp, afl, transcom, hitmen, action and
some more. it was a pity that all the
guys, who promised to come, didn't
show up. it was boring like hell,
nothing else than copying lame stuff
was done.
the only interesting things in venlo
were all the magazines which were
spread.
venlo is getting lamer and lamer.
nowadays it's only a waste of time
and money... pyle/crazy
the ruthless x-mas party
------------------------
after venlo we drove with 3 cars to
the ruthless/silicon party in
uetrecht. after some hours of driving
through thousands of dead-end streets
we (crest,x-ray,crazy and dynamix)
finally arrived at the party place.
the entrence wasn't that expensive,
it was something around $5. the party
place was something like a kinder-
garden and there was space for about
350-400 people.
at the first day there were about
250 guys, but in the evening of the
first day some locals went home to
sleep.
at the party there weren't that many
groups, but therefor cool guys. the
following people were present :
x-ray, crazy, crest, dynamix, 20cc,
black mail, trc, ruthless, house, clt
babygang, hitmen and a few other.
the atmosphere was quite good...
lots of talkings...and lots of fun.
well, in fact the organization was
was very well-done, also the food
and the drinks were good and cheap!
well, nothing special happened at the
first day, so some guys from x-ray,
crest and hitmen started a little
drinking game. the first dude that
left the table was arrogance/x-ray
(loooooser), but the game still was
going on. after some hours of killing
thousands of beer bottles, the winner
was clear and it was zoolook/crest.
(yeah,congrats)
after that some guys went sleeping.
(aslo me, pyle)
the next day was very calm, cos
everybody had a bad headache(hehehe).
so the day went on with no special
sensations, except for one guy from
silicon, who started to rap like a
professional. that guy was really
cool, it was unbelievable.
well, at about ?? o'clock, the demo
competition started. there were comps
for best demo, best music, best
graphics. the results were like this:
best demo : 1. oregon
2. house
3. pain
best music : 1. audial arts
2. hithouse/trc
3. evs/20cc
best graphics : 1. scorp/ruthless
2. reble mc/trc
3. pain
after the demo-competition the party
was officially finished and everybody
went home. all in all the party was
quite nice !
...but too less elite groups were
presemt...

the usa pirate scene - december 1990
--------------------------------------
a report by illusionist/random
the us pirate scene was dominated by
the guys in north east importers and
legend. throughout the christmas
holidays many long awaited hits such
as : chase hq ii, special criminal
investigation, shadow of the beast,
and total recall has been released.
in addition to these excellent games:
exterminator, titbits, scumm, lettrix
and helter skelter.
legend and action were the
contributors of this excellent
display.
not to leave out the rest of the
scene, of course. exodus released
saint dragon, fire & forget ii, crime
time, and un squadron (late last
month).all three releases were great.
censor and genesis project with the
cracks.
random, with narc, summer camp, and
huxley pig, stayed in a threatened
position. other imports are yet to
be fixed. and random's latest crack:
dragon strike from ssi and ea, was
an excellent release. illusion and
dominators were the contributors.
destiny, still alive and well,
released basketball manager, e-swat
and dino wars. and could have
released a preview of wrath of demon
that they had more than a week before
anyone else put it out. it was not
released bacause phantasm was too
busy with work and working on other
games. (apologies to culture were
given, and accepted.) f4cg and
paramount were the driving forces.
tsm, with ikari + talent, (hi darren)
imported many games, which included:
super ted, arcade trivia quiz,
(excellent) kickbox vigilante, stun
runner and days of thunder. great
contribution by ikari and talent.
demonix released their christmas
import with dynamix, sarakon.
was a nice release.
smack !"#$%
us importing charts as they should be
for the month of december.
1. nei
2. tsm
3. exodus
4. random
5. destiny
acknowledgements and fuck you's

facts
-----
i joined random after calling pudwerx
with icecube/dom... yup, icecube
got to losten to this memorable
moment in pirating history! (oooooh)
cure called up pudwerx and told him
that he had no time for doing what he
did in random. girlfriend and the
disconnection of his line were the
contributing factors.
grim reaper ragged the hell out of
tsm for releasing a game that they
had downloaded from the censor board,
which they released without a fix.
yet, increasing tsm's popularity on
the shitlist.
druid/culture managed to get flat-
liner out of internet to interview
him! (great work peter)
exodus is now grim reaper and ware-
wolf and...(nobody)...damn!
after calling pudwerx with nam/xtc
on the line, nam explained how every-
-one in extasy felt about giving
their cracks to random, and pudwerx
reacted positively... the moral of
the story: etxasy trades with random.
the shadow, after attempting to rag
on destiny, was destroyed even by
non-destiny memebers. damn shame when
destiny didn't even have to show to
get rid of the living shit.
banned in the usa number is
XXXXXXXXXXXX. call it.
skreemer is out of exodus, no shit!
thor shall return... all he needs is
a drive and he'll be back in action.
he has joined random! now random is
a euro's trump card to boards.
scandle, an us at&t hacker, was seen
jumping from extasy to legend, from
legend to paramount, from paramount
to legend, and back again, and
again? what a guy...extasy claims he
is not worth the efoort to call him.
i get punter lines with all culture-
members...
not so factual...
-----------------
gazoo/ex-xds (sysop of wild wares,
at&t's most wanted obs) joined skid
row as a sysop. he now runs 'wild
ami-wares' with amiga-express and a
1200 baud modem.
cure's girlfriend is really
mortician's (now scatterbraim/crest)
sister. dave says that she's a hell
of a lay.
thor went to cure's house to play
with him, but cure's parents told
cure to say that he couldn't play
with thor anymore. more bad news.
the bit bandit, excell's threat to
society, was kicked off the forum as
a joke to see hew he would react.
surprisingly enough, he took it im
harsh manner.
excell now has every film in the
market. some that are in editing
sequences even! tri-star hired brian
as a film-critic...
although bod was at a local party
during the new years, his pants
decided to catch the action at jade/
dominator's party. jade's father
totally disagreed with the idea but
jade kicked his ass.
horizon/nec went to master kracker/
inc for advice on which condom to use
for anal penetration.
popular belief is that horizon is
still heterosexual.
stormbringer woke up on tuesday
morning (jan 1, 1991) and his little
brother had already fixed turbo cart
and was upoading it to hit'n'run.
his brother then joined xds as a
fixer.
...
the end!
note that many parts of the report
were 'not so factual', for that and
other reasons, mamba< cut or changed
parts of the text.(including some
spelling mistakes)
anyway, big thanks to illusionist !

dexion party report
---------------------
the party was held in odense/denmark
from the 26th to the 29th of dec.1990
in a large school. it was probably
the biggest party ever arranged as
there were about 700 participants.
i guess about 25% were c64 freaks.
this small attendance and the lack
of foreign groups were mainly because
of the party-invitations didn't get
spread very well. anyway, the groups
is saw/met were fairlight, light,
ikari+talent, class, up-front,
triangle 3532, bones, impulse, atrix,
bonzai, laser, pulsar, censor, dom,
foxbat, demotion, vibrants, amnesia,
and some which have vanished from my
mind.
the party place was parted in a large
hall (only for amiga dudes), two
gymnasiums and several class-rooms.
food could be bought at the party or
in various shops and supermarkets
close to the school. the party was
very well arranged, officials
equipped with walkie-talkies were
patrolling the area, always ready
to help with whatever possible.
violence and vandalism as seen at the
other parties were prevented by an
alcohol prohibition. only a little
group of swedes caused some trouble
and they were quickly fetched by the
police.
about 12 demos participated in the
c64 competition where the first
prize was 500 usd. each participant
had one vote and bonzai showed a bad
sportsmanship by voting for the worst
demo which easily could have been
made in 30 minutes. this resulted in
the dexion-members cancelling the
votes and assign themselves as jur.
the result came out as follows:
1. light 4. x-factor 7. pulsar
2. triangle 5. bonzai 8. impulse
3. upfront 6. fairlight
all the mentioned groups received a
reward. i think people ought to take
this result in mind when voting for
the mags. good musicians don't make
bonzai the best demo-group. nor can't
quantity (bz's 15 parts) beat quality
(up-front's 4 parts). think about it.
all in all it was a successful party
with too many amiga guys though.
now it's up to all of you to change
that at the dom v2 party this easter.
see you there... (ed. read 'news' for
informations about the dom party...
by the way, if anyone could send the
up-front, the triangle and the bonzai
demo to the mamba box, we would be
extremely happy !!!)
