Preface
+ WELCOME TO + + THE PULSE MAGAZINE - THE JULY EDITION + --------------------------------------- Welcome Dear readers to the 16th edition of the internationally distributed THE PULSE MAGAZINE. This is your guide to the world of action within the Cracking, Demo and Modem-scene. To bring you up to date with what is going on in the scene on the C64, be sure to get hold of the latest editions of THE PULSE MAGAZINE - released every month. INSTRUCTIONS: Use Joystick in PORT II and move left/right to switch pages. Press FIRE for the menu. Comments from the Editor, 1st. July 1995 --------------------------------------------- Welcome to another edition of THE PULSE MAGAZINE, this one the second release since our comeback. This edition should therefore be taken as clear evidence, that we are back as a steady released magazine fighting in the name of the C64. Ah, the summer is finally here. Best of it sofar, was a 3 day grill-party, and from then on its been rain and heavy wind all mixed together to spell - C64 time. As most of you probably would ask, howcome THE PULSE release in July - they never used to do that? That's true, but we decided to continue with our work, as we all know returning to the business can be a rough trade. We are getting the hang of it though :) Though thrilled about holding another copy of THE PULSE in your starved hands, we cannot serve you properly this month. Being summer and all, some of the staff have taken the right (which is understandable) for a break, most of us have been through some pretty demanding exams you know (inc. myself). Due to that, we have had to cancel 4 of our most respected chapters: WORLD OF DEMOS, PROFILE, MONTHLY RELEASES and TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE. There are different reasons for every cancellation. WORLD OF DEMOS was destroyed by the Internet, PROFILE was cut due to time problems, MONTHLY RELEASES still has no host and TDJ cancelled TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE due to great shortage of rest caused by stress from the exams. I hope that our otherwise always patient and loyal readers will continue to have faith in THE PULSE, a trust that we will reward with a continued flow of the best of entertainment and news the market has to offer. THE PULSE are searching for a group to call home. I feel that a magazine with the character and potential such as this one, deserves to be released under the colours of a C64 group. Please contact with your offers, I will announce my final decision, if any, by the 1st of September. In closing, thanks to readers and competitors for the flattering welcome back!

News journal
+ T H E N E W S J O U R N A L + --------------------------------------- Welcome to another edition of NEWS JOURNAL. We bring you an update of the current scene situation, as it looks in the eyes of the News Journal reporters. Join us every month, for an inside look at the news with competent views. In order for us to have the most complete news report, we need the help of our readers, to send us news and reports. If you are situated where the action happens, you could join us as a European Correspondent. We can be contacted using any of the addresses or numbers printed in PREFACE. NEWS JOURNAL is as always anchored by DUKE, assisted in the news gathering and reporting by CROSSFIRE. Welcome! * The Danish lead cracking-group, MOTIV 8, has had a quiet month of few events. The German GREENFROG/ex.TALENT joined MOTIV 8 as a coder. He is to do parts of an upcoming co-op demo between PADUA and MOTIV 8. STONE and ANO discussed joining the demo project, while other contributions might be done by EDDIE and ICEBALL. Rumours are being spread within the ranks of MOTIV 8, that the Norwegian trader, TG-ACME, has left the scene. It is yet to be confirmed though, but according to MOTIV 8 boss CROSSFIRE, he has vanished completely. Speculations are that he has left the scene in silence, not having been heard of for a total of 6 months now. Meanwhile ICEBALL announced he will be joining the information highway, the internet, as soon as the summer vacation is over. * ALPHA FLIGHT announced the full return of MURPHY, who is back after trying out a career as a DJ. Meanwhile ALPHA FLIGHT was caught in another scandal. NEWS JOURNAL's CROSSFIRE reports on the latest scandal, to have hit the scene by surprise. Yet another stone in the on-going AFL-scandals at the moment has seen the light of day. English group MAYHEM now accuses REAM/AFL for ripping a picture drawn by MET of MAYHEM for a selfcoded game released under the AFL-label named "BAD BALLS" about 8 weeks ago. MAYHEM brought evidence to the scene, and there can be no doubt. Investi- gation has shown, that REAM is responsible for all the fuzz about ALPHA FLIGHT at the moment. The re-crack of "NUTS", and now this. REAM released a note explaining the facts about NUTS, but neglected, or failed, to answer to the accusations around the "MISFORTUNE PREVIEW" re-crack. Furthermore, as this goes into print, ALPHA FLIGHT still has not replied to MAYHEM, atleast no reaction which has been received by any of the members of staff. CROSSFIRE, for NEWS JOURNAL. * The FANTASTIC FOUR CRACKING GROUP appears to be going through what could be described as a somewhat slow period. HAIN and MAJA even had trouble explaining the actual meaning of F4CG (attempts were: FANTASTIC FOUR CODING GROUP, FANTASTIC FOUR CUTE GAYS) - all ment in good fun and laughter ofcourse, but still slightly ironic and hard- hitting about the period they are having. Also ANTITRACK is having quite some trouble on the internet at the moment. He had a lot of different account, but they are all being closed one by one, and with the busting of his groupmate BITMAN a couple of months ago, he might be facing a grim future when it comes to showing up at the IRC. Let us hope nothing will happen. Meanwhile, the Italian trader, KING, was spotted calling the boards once again, proclaiming an active return to the scene. The American CYBORG ended a lot of problems and discussions by joining both F4CG and AVANTGARDE. This means DREAMPARK will be shared between the two groups. F4CG and MOTIV 8 now has a co-op FTP-site in Italy. It is maintained by PLAYBOY/F4CG and co-maintained by CROSSFIRE/MOTIV 8. Address is called "BBS.CC.UNIUD.IT" and in the library "/PUB/C64" all the latest stuff can be found (incl. all fresh editions of THE PULSE MAGAZINE!). The site was, to begin with, only an F4CG-site, but they decided to share it with MOTIV 8 after a while. * The biggest co-operation of 1995, ONSLAUGHT+HARDCORE, announced they wanted to decrease the huge amount of members in the future. This means a lot of its current members are working hard not to be subject of becoming the next to get the boot. The first ones to get kicked this summer, were the Danish graphician team, SMD. Furthermore RAGE was kicked out of HARDCORE due to internal problems. The third member to get kicked, was to be the most contriversial event in the co-operation this summer. Here is NEWS JOURNAL's CROSSFIRE reporting. CHOTAIRE left/got kicked from ONSLAUGHT+HARDCORE, and took his board "PIRATE ISLAND" with him. This due to arguments with HOMEBOY, who allegedly stole a file with card- info from a private partition on TPI without getting CHOTAIRE's permission. TPI ran as HQ for PHREEDOM, an American h/p-group, but CHOTAIRE joined ALPHA FLIGHT and now, with the re-building of PANDORA, his board runs as EHQ for AFL and PANDORA. ESCAPADE is also still AFL EHQ, though DOWN BY LAW is now finally 100% online (meaning - no more crashes!) and is, besides being O+H HQ, now also WHQ for DOMINATION. CROSSFIRE, for NEWS JOURNAL. Due to the goodbye from CHOTAIRE, the Danish board WEST POINT is announced as the new EHQ for [O+H]. With the decrease of 3 members in the co-operation, they started their wild goose chase for new additions. Beginning with the Germans HARD SEQUENCE and DODGER/ex.DYTEC who joined ONSLAUGHT. Also CARLOS/APS joined as a coder. APS stands for ART PROJECT STUDIOS, so it doesn't need many guesses to figure out who will be first-releasing their games from now on. A talented Polist coder, THE LAST HACKER, joined up with ONSLAUGHT DESIGN. Meanwhile, THE HUMAN renamed into TICKET. In closing, JAZZCAT spread the rumour, that LEEWAY/AFL had joined ONSLAUGHT, but denied it only the next day - apparently he had gotten a little "confused". * The recently deceased PANDORA has returned from the grave, re-formed again by most of its former members. Members sofar (according to CHOTAIRE/AFL) should be: SKY, DOMINO, ATTRACTION, AMPUTATOR, PETE, THAGE and MEPHISTO. Ofcourse this means the death of newcomer group NEMESIS, revealed last month. CHOTAIRE's board PIRATE ISLAND runs as the temporary EHQ of PANDORA, together with ALPHA FLIGHT. * The notorious cracking-group LASER, with its roots into the beginning of the 80's is announced dead. The strongest member and leader of LASER, STEVE, left LASER and then began the short struggles to stay alive. After SHUZE had given up on the challenge, LASER was officially dead. The remaining members flocked to other groups, SHUZE remains a member of ALPHA FLIGHT though, JP joined MAYHEM, JUPITER joined POWERAGE, KHAN joined AVALON and RAZOR RAMON joined BRONX. The rest of the members not mentioned here remains groupless until further notice. * The return of the notorious demo-group MEGASTYLE PRODUCTIONS is still heard in echo's across the scene, and the enjoyment of seeing them active appears to be just as huge. An exciting addition was to be announced, as one of the original members, the trader PRICE (formerly known as FRODE) is said to return to the Norwegian side this summer. INZANE and RAGE, currently serving in the army, is also said to return this summer, so plenty of activities are in store. Meanwhile SHOK RAY' (ex.SORCERER/TALENT) joined MEGASTYLE PRODUCTIONS as a graphician. The updated memberstatus therefore looks as follows: CYCLEBURNER, SCROLL, PRICE, VENGEANCE, SPACE-ROY, SHOK RAY', INZANE and RAY. * According to RELAX MAGAZINE, OXYRON is far from dead. The notorious German demo-group made the new and excellent outfit for RELAX MAGAZINE, and is said to be working on a brand new trackmo. With many of the OXYRON members looking towards the PC for new adventures, the MUSICIAN P.R.I. returned to the side to contribute in full power for the C64 section of OXYRON. The memberstatus is: ASMODIS, AXIS, FUBEN, GRAHAM, PRI, RRR and TTS. * The other major co-operation, SCS+TRC, appears to have taken an early start on the summer-vacation (CBA at the ROSKILDE FESTIVAL in Denmark). The SCS+TRC WHQ, THE DUNGEON, is reported to be put back online after being formatted for the thrid time. But no doubt the sysop of THE DUNGEON, ALCHEMIST, will be hoping for a better future, another formatting-attempt could put the board out of action forever. Meanwhile, TITANIC decided to leave AGONY, in order to become a full-blood member of the co-operation. According to VANDALISM NEWS, SPLATTERHEAD is to become the new editor of the soon coming VANDALISM NEWS version released on paper. No doubt we will all be looking long and hard toward that release. * The number one cracking group in the world, AVANTGARDE, was able to announce the legendary editor of CORRUPTION, JACK DANIELS, has returned to the boards, and may become another brick in the current rumour that AVANTGARDE is to release the contriversial CORRAMBA (CORRUPTION and MAMBA into one). Another positive event from the AVANTGARDE side, was the return of the former CRAZY cracker, WEASEL. He was also spotted on the boards, and is said to be wanting to pick up his cracking activities again. * As announced in the June edition, D'ARC from TOPAZ BEERLINE has finally finished his army duties for the Finnish army. He stated the desire to make TOPAZ BEERLINE active again, maybe resulting in the release of PROBLEM CHILD 4. * The legendary coder, UNIFIER, announced he had left the demo-group SPIRIT. This could be a sign of lacking interest in the scene, we have not been informed of this as of yet. With those final words, this concludes the July edition of NEWS JOURNAL. The news was gathered by CROSSFIRE and DUKE, and as always edited by DUKE. We are still looking for European Correspondents to assist us in our news coverage around the world. If you have ambitions to try out the C64 media, please contact us through the addresses or numbers posted in PREFACE. Signed, DUKE.
Satirica
+ SATIRICA - THE AUTOPSY OF THE SCENE + ------------------------------------- Welcome back to another package of Satiric stories, provided to you by General Editor, DUKE. Since the last edition, a lot of people have sent me letters and post-cards, as well as notes throught the Internet. To those who took the time to write, I would just like to say "The same to you". :) You have entered the domains of SATIRICA, the place where anything can happen - and do happen. This is where we have no restraints, but a vivid imagination. This is satire that bites hard, so feel warned. Please note, that SATIRICA is only done in pure fun and laughter, and therefore should not be taken personally offensive or serious. - The infamous un-named king of the British isles, BOD of TALENT, announced on 'The day of the homeless', a day of which British people collect money for the homeless, how he always wanted to help the homeless. BOD stated to the people who met up at the celebrations "Oye, get off my back. I really wanna help the homeless, but I don't know where to contact them". After the celebrations, BOD told the press how he remembered the advice his father gave him - "He told me, never take candy from a stranger, unless he offers you a ride". Apparently that was a clear enough hint for BOD, and because of his unstabile home situation as a child, he feels he must help the homeless. "But in my own way I help the homeless, I really do. I am always looking for a girl who needs a room" BOD stated. - THE SATIRICA TOP 5 LIST - ------------------------ TOPIC : Five ways suggesting that being a scener can inhibit you in your attempts to do well in the exams period. 5. Being an active scener, you forget about the exam, having just the bus-ride to school to study the subject. 4. Instead of writing down the answers to the test, you begin making notes for your contacts. 3. You leave the written exam after finishing only half the test, because you want to down-load the latest edition of THE PULSE (what?) on the schools computers. 2. You show up late to an oral-exam, with your voice broken from being up all night on several conferences. 1. Two words : C64 RULES! - The father and husband of FAIRLIGHT, BACCHUS, released a book featuring his thoughts about getting married and starting a family. The book entitled "I should've said NO!" is the current bestseller in Sweden, and also includes numorous colorful situations he's had with his wife during the marriage. BACCHUS stated to BEN DOVER, in a promotion interview for the book in the latest edition of SHRIEK, how he felt his wife was the worst cool in the world. "After I eat, I don't brush my teath, I count them. My wife always tells me to finish the food saying there are people starving in Africa. I told her, have sex honey, there are people who are horny in jails". BACCHUS explained marriage was not exactly what he had hoped it to be. "Nah, it's tough to be married, you gotta be mature, you know. Like my wife and I we have our own arrangements. One night a week I go out with the boys, and one night a week she goes out with the boys, Erhm!". BACCHUS is still glad he got married. He recalls when he was single, he could never get a girl. "Once I saw a girl at the bar, I said- Hey honey, you're a good looking chick. How would you like for me to be the rooster? She told me to go pluck myself" BACCHUS sighed. In the end of the talk, BACCHUS burst out in laughter, remember the weeding "The priest told me, you may kiss the pride. Hah, after what I had already done to the bride, he told me I could kiss her!". + NATURES CORNER - WATCHING LEGEND UNDRESS + ------------------------------------------- Welcome dear readers, to another episode of Natures Corner, with your favourite host, POWERPLANT of LEGEND. (Scattered applause). What a crowd, what a crowd. I am glad you all could make it tonight, all three of you. I've got a message for the last guy in the crowd- Hey, I'm broke. You can't pluck a balled chicken! Oh well. I am alright now though, but last week I was in pretty rough shape. Last week I saw my phyciatrist, I told him, Doc, I keep thinking I'm ugly. He told me to lie in a coach face down. What a let down, I tell you. Are you kidding, I know I'm ugly. I stuck my head out the window the other day, and got arrested for mooning. Life aint easy I tell you. The downfall doesn't stop there. I'm getting old working as a lawyer, It's tough being out there on your own. When you get old you get a lot of things, I got autriatos. You get stiff in every place, except the place you need it. Life aint easy, I tell you that much. And it seems I just graduated from law-school. Nah, I tell you, I'm getting old, old. I got no sex life, are you kidding. If I squeeze into a parking space I'm sexually satisfied. Anyway, enough of me telling you all my problems, I think I'll just go and shoot myself - so until next month, I'm POWERPLANT, saying "Life's a bitch, and then you die!". - The beloved Tasmanian devil, JAZZCAT of ONSLAUGHT, explained on a conference how he had eaten the last remaining dingo on his farm. JAZZCAT explained to the shocked people on the conference, how he had a fight with the dingo, and his girl-friend told him the dingo was right. "And she told me this right infront of the dingo, now the dingo's got no respect for me anymore" JAZZCAT said in an angry tone. JAZZCAT, who is known for his eating of dingo's, and editing of DOMINATION, is on the lookout for new dingo's, although they are hard to find. "I'm still sure I did the right thing eating my last dingo, the damn thing just had no respect. My girl-friend threw a ball, and the dingo waited for me to bring it back" - JAZZCAT cried. - The huge and infamous German known for his overweight, AIRWOLF, was on the CNN show LARRY SING LIVE last month, explaining the diet problems he's had all through his life. "Yeah, it was tough. When I was a kid and went to the local pet store, the people kept asking how big I get" AIRWOLF said in a nostalgic tone. "My doctor didn't help me loose weight either, he told me to run 5 miles a day for two weeks. I called him up, and I said - Hey Doc, I'm 70 miles from my house" AIRWOLF continued. An embarrased LARRY SING said after the show "I couldn't help laughing, the guy's hillarious - he should join ANGRY!". AIRWOLF finally made the production room make good use of the BEEP tone, when he gestured his doctor. "I told my doctor, I broke my arm in two places. He told me to keep out of those places" AIRWOLF shouted. - The American movie "DUMB and DUMBER" has taken Europe by storm, and is currently being visited by everyone at the movies. The Amsterdam press caught DEFF and NTI at the city's biggest Cinema, after watching the movie. DEFF stated he enjoyed the movie a lot, claiming the title sounded familiar to him! The famous couple, DEFF and NTI, is expected to leave for JOLLYMOOD this summer to shoot a movie, they still have no idea of what movie that would be. " I would like to tell all our fans, that we still haven't given up on doing a re-make of the old legendary movie, THE THREE STOODGES. But it will be difficult, with PARSON out of the scene" NTI stated. - Meanwhile at the house of ALPHA FLIGHT: "Co-op? We don't need no stinkin' co-op!". - THE SCENE MOVIE CHARTS - ------------------------- Welcome to the best of action released in the scene this summer. As you all know, many of our colleagues in the scene also have seperate careers, working as actors in the famous JOLLYMOOD. This time we bring you a look at the top 5 blockbusters, including famous clips taken from the movies. 5. OUTBREAK. - Starring ENDURO/FAIRLIGHT. "Damn, SHOUT is released into the general public. What am I gonna do next?". 4. NATURAL DINGO KILLERS. - Starring JAZZCAT/ONSLAUGHT. "I have reached a second stage. Dingo's may look like sweet animals to you, but to me they are scum. Burn baby burn, die, fry, explode.. Aha, ahahahaha, hahahahhahaha. Cut!". 3. ONSLAUGHT+HARDCORE's LIST. - Starring 50% of the scene.

We will also keep your knowledge about scene history intact, with the MONTHLY TIMELINE - see if you remember the happenings. But first, we bring you the OPINION-POLLS.. + THE OPINION POLLS - SCENE PARAMETERS + -------------------------------------- Welcome to the opinion polls. Due to the fact that we have reached a kind of slow period, the summer vacation, we decided to give last months polls a second run. We would appreciate if everyone took part in our monthly polls, and by using our addresses or internet-addresses you can. Simply send us your answers as follows: (NR. OF POLL) - (NR. OF ANSWER).

Intenet Address : I8G-DC5101.AALBORGES.DK - OPINION POLL NUMBER 1 - ----------------------- When would you prefer to see magazines released? 1. I would like for them to be released on a monthly basis. 2. They can release whenever they want, I do not care. 3. I would like to see them released faster than a month. 4. Two months in between every edition is the best. 5. It depends on the magazine, therefore I do not care. - OPINION POLL NUMBER 2 - ----------------------- What is your opinion of the demo-scene's interaction with the magazines, in terms of making them aware of the happenings within? 1. The demo-scene has always been good at letting the mags know what is going on. 2. The demo-scene is terrible at working with the media. 3. The mags are to blame for not printing demo-scene news. 4.

I think it can get pretty tough. 2. What competition? 3. The mags are good at coming up with new things constantly. 4. They should not compete this much, it does help anyone. 5. I do not know, and do not care. + SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT - MEDIA OR TABLOID + ---------------------------------------- The media in today's scene has profound power to be a positive influence. But is the media aware of its strenght, and what does it do with it? That is this months topic, as SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT takes you behind the curtains of the notorious C64 media - the magazines. No doubt, the C64 is able to provide the best of magazines comparing with other systems currently leading the sales charts. But we have years of experience to draw from, the PC does not. A friend told me months back, that he predicted there would never be such an organised underground media as the one on the C64 - and that may be true. But what is it that makes the C64 scene so different and special from others? The people! Looking back to the late 80's, the magazines were at a peak where its importance for the scene was concerned. But it was never the biggest and most important factor - as it is today, some might debate. The magazines back then carried a larger more personal touch than those of today. Today's demanding readers might have found them dull and short, considering how large the scene was then. But understand the scene was not aware of the infinite possibilities doing a magazine had - it created order, eliminating the underground kaos problem. Stars were born, and carried into the spotlight. Contacts were made, and the charts opened new doors for better products through newfound competition. The magazines of the 80's were short of a lot of things, that we often take for granted these days. They had very little scene analysis, focusing on the facts instead of the reasons that led to them. The news were short and insufficient, picked up from the last disk notes mailed to the editor. The charts were also lacking, especially the ever so important analysis - but things were very confusing. In an age of extreme popularity of the C64, things changed constantly. New groups popped up from nowhere, claiming the title as the best in their fields. Wars got nasty at a period, and honour was the most important thing a scener had - class seperated beauty from the beast. The magazines had a part of starting all this, being the source and destination for every scener. Returning to 1995, we still see some of the old characteristics in ourselves - and in the scene. We are still loyal to our groups, although some have taken a fancy to being in more at a time, looking towards the media to keeping us informed about the scene occourances (who died?). True, the scene is old and grey, but who says you can't function just because you get old? Sure, the scene functions. But old things need extra care and attention, something the modern scener has forgotten. If you stop watering your plants they will surely die - the scene works the exact same way. This is why the media should take the first step towards giving the scene a good physical, fixing the rough edges, making it young, fresh and back in the state we all loved and cherished. I think a small group of people who were active back when the scene was one big unknown territory, can't help sticking around - in hope of seeing the scene as it was when they started out. Ah, wishful thinking will seldom amount to anything - which is why we should take action. Today the media has found a good and steady balance of news and entertainment, bringing the subjects the modern scener of today prefers. We have undoubtedly become better at doing magazines, years of experience and a more intense involvement from the sceners has resulted in that. But we have yet to find the few elements that looks towards the future, debating things to better the scene. With an everchanging world of computers, we should strenghen ourselves, to ensure the scene's existance. No doubt none of us would enjoy turning on a different computer, finding but only kaos and dispair. There will never be another scene, this is the last one - so let's protect and nurture it. Before it's too late! Right after this, the Monthly Timeline! - THE MONTHLY TIMELINE - ----------------------- What year did the following events occour? - The infamous demo-group, BONZAI, was formed. SONNY, LUXOR, LOTUS and TRAP were among the founders. - PULSAR is the # 1 cracking-group in the charts. SHADOWS is the # 1 demo-group in the charts. - The cracking-group UNICESS was formed, comprising of members from LIBERTY, DANECREW and COLDCUT. The answers can be found later in SCENE ILLUSTRATED. SOCIALISM - Just a dirty word, or..? --------------------------- Written by Crossfire/MOTIV 8 ---------------------- YES..! ..after reading the last issue of THE PULSE MAGAZINE, I finally found my mission in life. DUKE wrote very elegantly about the old scene and how things used to be, and compared it to this day in age. I previously wrote another article in a muc earlier issue of PULSE about socialism in the scene, which was not very well received - In FACT, some boneheads called me a NAZI just cause I had my own opinions - I resent that, but obviously that is the scene of today. Anti-nazi slogans every- where, which is just FINE - I am NOT a NAZI - BUT I don't see, why these "brave" fighters against rascism in the scene doesn't get the hell OUT of here and start fighting the thing from it's grind - Your neighborhood is just as good a place as any to start. Hell, I hate rascism as much as the next guy, but you don't see me putting anti-nazi pictures in front of what we put out, do you? It is really ridicolous, when you stop to look at it - It's not gonna help one bit, and in the end, it has all been figured out by someone who wanted a bit of commercial. Sure, now go on and say "Fuck you Crossfire, you don't know what you're talking about!" - But see, that is where you are so wrong! Never before have we had a scene like this one, and I got to admit that I actually prefer the old one that he had 4-5 years ago - It's not that I'm dealing in beans, cause I have learned to thrive on it, but think of it - The reason why the scene was so much alive back then, was, yes - SOME is NOT.. ..gonna like what I'm about to say here! - Because the ELITE- fraise was indeed VERY much alive back then. Sure, now I am arrogant saying this (I know the drill by now), but I think any one from back then would agree with me. People really should guard their own mouth from accusations, but then again, we've the right to speak freely, right? SURE! What a crock! I am not self-demanding in any way nor am I ignorant or arrogant, but I think I deserve a LITTLE respect from the newcommers. Any- one knows about my little escapade with a certain Dr.Zzap of X-RATED last year. This was a case which got TOO far - I ask him to follow the rules on DOMINIC, which isn't too much to ask considerating the fact, that 30 other users could without pro- blems and he attacks me, I rag him to his grind, and he starts a lot of lame shit, which I won't start to comment here. Since then, others have acted up. To begin with, I didn't wanna draw in names as examples, and I'm not gonna do it either. In the example I'm about to drag out,I won't need to anyway. Any- one calling our danish board "Mount Olympus" the last couple of months will know whom the following addresses: WARNING! - PARADENTIAL ADVISORY - EXPLICIT LYRICS (take it as a joke, if you may!). I am FED up with a couple of dickheads who have been acting smart against me over the last months. They are SUPPOSIVELY in an elite-group, although they are only in to PAY for CARDS, but I'm sick of their big mouths. Two of the three danes was kicked out of MOTIV 8 a year ago whilst still being on probation - just as far as they ever got in EPIC as- well. These jerks have never made it really far in the scene, to say the LEAST, but because they THINK they know a lot.. ..of self-invented crap about me, they think they got the right to be on my neck. All these three numnuts are newbee's in the scene, and no matter if I had kicked them from MOTIV 8 before I still think they should show some respect towards...ANY...old scene personality. It's not that I don't get any attention in m hometown or anything like that - God knows I got so many other things to do side ways with the scene, but I think that the tim I do have for the scene should damn well be appriciated some- how. Therefore, take this to your hearts if you entered the scene in 1991 or later - Anyone of this catagory IS considered newcommers, so show some damn respect!!! It is just an advice, cause talking to the great mass I've been in touch with most recently, the scene IS about to turn, some people are about to burn their fingers VERY badly, and the only way to be in this.. ..scene in the future, IS actually to start showing a bit of that damn well deserved respect the elite-groups deserve. In case you claim there IS no elite, it is easy to disprove RIGHT here - Look it up in a dictionary, and it'll say that the ELITE term means the best within an area, so claiming it doesn't exis would be equally stupid as painting one half of your body red and go cockalidoo like a chicken (Hi Rainier!:) ). I'm not gonn list ANY groups right here - Look in the first-release charts, and you pretty much got the list of the biggest elite-groups of today - with few exceptions,but take those who always pops up every month and you got it. Demo elite is just as easy, just check the demo charts.. See, THAT is not very hard, now is it? Just always remember, that respect is NOT something you just GET or BUY, it's something you gotta work HARD to EARN !!! Finally, I'd like to end this article getting something very clear. Lately, I was attacked by a polish guy on the IRC, and talking a bit back and forth, it turns out, that he was pissed with my group, MOTIV 8, because of the very harsh reviews, that our ex, SUN DANCER, used to write in this magazine, and I'd like to get it straight in anyone's minds, that the opinion of Sun Dancer is NOT necessarily identical to ours, therefore do NOT judge a whole group by one of it's members statements, ok?! I believe this is why Duke has inserted that small block i "Preface" as well,but I just wanted to get that out of the way! The guy I talked to, whose name we won't mention, was IN FACT the one who wrote that much talked about anonymous anti-note that also involved ME some time ago. The writer thought, that Sun Dancer's views was alike with the rest of the.. ..groups, but this is WRONG! Why we accepted Sun Dancer into MOTIV 8 after he was kicked from REGINA is a topic which will NOT be digged into, but we DID not, nor DO we share, his views. Therefore - People, THINK, will you? THINK!!! WE are able to think for ourselves, which is why we are able to draw our own conclusions. I'm very sorry that writing something like this ha to be necessary, but to me it seems that the entire IQ of the scene dropped a couple of hundred points the last 5 years. Sorry, I know it sounds rude, but think of it! Anyway, PULSE MAGAZINE would love to receive your reactions, but use your heads before you sit down and start writing, ok? People is also welcome to e-mail personal reactions to me, if they should want to. E-mail address on internet is: C01-DEC5102.AARHUES.DK THE PULSE MAGAZINE is widely known for having its open.. ..discussions, and this probably is the best topic to take up a all, so if you felt offended by this article, don't go behind our backs calling us "NAZI PULSE", any idiot can do that, and HAVE, so make a difference, speak and sign your OWN NAME, which is a thing newcommers apparently is not very good at, at this time in age. We were all newcommers once, but there is a remarkable diffe- rence in the ways, that us different people in the scene today gained our fame. Some of us worked HARD for it, others just got it served on a silver-plate.

Board Report
+ T H E B O A R D R E P O R T + --------------------------------------- ..another month has passed, and your humble servants return to your monitors, being honoured having the privilige of enter- ing your room and your mind..! ..yeah.......RIGHT! ..and if you believe THAT.. ;) Anyway, finishing off the light side, it is time to get serious if that is even possible in the heat of the danish summer.. We, the staff, has decided, that the european boards doesn't really get the attention that they deserve, which is why we will review a bunch of the very best of them in the next issues We started last month with what many people call the best in Scandinavia and what others call THE best in Europe. This month we move a little down the map, towards Germany, where we find a system named THE SANITARIUM.. If you wish to get in touch with us, you should either leave me e-mail on the internet on my address which goes like this: C01-DEC5102.AARHUES.DK -------------------- ..or you can call MOUNT OLYMPUS at +45/7591-0920 and leave e-mail to me (user # 2!), OR finally, you can just try to catch me on channel # c-64 on the IRC... .. . Turn the page! Well, let's hit it off.. This time the spotlight fell upon a board located in Germany, by the name of SANITARIUM. We asked the sysop of the board, HOLY MOSES of EXCESS, for details, and before we could blink we got what we bargained for.. SANITARIUM is a C64-ONLY board, that in NO way supports other systems. It runs a NEARLY backdoor-free version of the much used Cyborg Modded C-Base v3.1. It is online 24 hrs each day and support all between 300 and 2400 baud connects. This may however change soon, as the sysop might install new software that allows the board to run as much as up to 19.200 baud (the C64 is TOO slow for that, but it's possible to fix!). Graphics on the board is drawn by the sysop himself, Holy Moses/EXCESS, with help from Xenox/ALPHA FLIGHT and EB. In the past, the board used a FD4000 with 3.2 megs to store wares, but it changed into a HD40, which the system also runs on, for the one and only purpose to prevent errors and even- tual flaws that tends to appear with C-Base (..cause let's face it, C-Base is FAR from perfect!).. :) That means, no additional 1541's, 1571's, FD's or anything, just PLAIN harddisk-driven.. Finally, the board is running with an original Supra 2400 modem connected with a Rex RS232. + THE PULSE MAGAZINE! + ..You'll love it...You'll tell a friend.. The partitions for the subs and e-mail is well around the 2000 blocks, to ensure that there will always be enough to read.. Subboards, of which there are 8, looks like the following: ----------------------------------------- 1. Pay your duty 2. Uploads 3. News for Nitro 4. Requests 5. Deutschlaender 6. C-Base altar 7. Other Cyberlands 8. Private Not much of a trick, all speaks for itself! As for the U/D-section, it looks like: --------------------------- 1. New wares 2. Demo's/Mags 3. C-Base 4. Lores/Medres 5. Ories 6. Request 7. Tools 1 8. Tools 2 9. Tools 3 10. Oldies 11. Private Again, no tricks! Everything is concise! The board has about 60 users, and Moses were shocked when he realized how many were fakes, and as he puts it very appro- priately himself, a board is not a nursery-school (although that impression is sometimes easy to get, especially if you check the warsubs on merely all boards! .ed), so they were ALL waxed the minute he realized which were fake-users and which was REAL users. Fake users is hardly needed...Now, ARE they? The story of SANITARIUM tells, that it was first put online in late 1990/early 1991 running freelance. Later it got to run under the TRINOMIC-label, also supporting the magazine by this group, GENETIC DREAMS. In those days, though, it was not called SANITARIUM, but PUBLIC EXECUTION.. Change page! Later, it got to run under the TRANCE-label and then changed its name into SANITARIUM. Holy Moses left TRANCE, he closed the board and joined the Amiga-scene. In November 1994 he decided to put the board back online and that is how things are now - running under the EXCESS-flag, supporting their maga- zine, NITRO.. Since it was put back online, it's been running perfect with NO problems, except for the occasional lamers, trying to format the system, but which system with respect for itself haven't been experiencing that at one time or another..

Meet the press
+ M E E T T H E P R E S S + ----------------------------------- "The media in the scene has profound power to be a positive influence". Those were the opening words in an article about the media written for this edition of SCENE ILLUSTRATED, make sure to read this article after MEET THE PRESS! MEET THE PRESS is the official reaction chapter for this magazine, therefore we would like to urge everyone to send us their opinions about THE PULSE MAGAZINE, using the addresses and numbers posted in PREFACE. This month we have reactions, as well as magazine reviews of RELAX and PROPAGANDA. Your host as always, DUKE. - REACTION FROM JAZZCAT/[O+H] - ------------------------------ Firstly, great to see this mag back in business again. I will not even make comments on why the old outfit was used and other things like the release chart absence, as this is completely understandable, on what must have been, a hard road back. The text, as usual was of high quality standard, perhaps the news department was slightly lacking in quantity. The only thing THE PULSE really needs is a larger amount of chapters covering all areas, I think the Internet and legal game industry updates should be included. A great comeback issue, and I am 100% positive that THE PULSE MAGAZINE over future issues will return to its former high quality, standard and also give my own magazine some more competition! :) Great stuff! - COMMENTS FROM THE EDITOR - --------------------------- Well, thanks a lot for the encouragement DAVE, it's nice to know you are still paying attention, heh. I appreciate the criticism as well, although I have an excuse to most of what you described correctly as negative compared to the "old" version of THE PULSE. It is true that a lot of people have wondered why I decided to use an old outfit of THE PULSE, it kind of took me by surprise as well. No, the reason was quite simple. I did not want to use our previous FULL-PAGE outfit anymore, because it was difficult to read according to many - and when the text, as I have always said, is the most important in a magazine, then I had to find an alternative to that outfit. Not having an active programmer by my side at the time, there was no new alternative, therefore I brought back an old outfit - one I still find okay, dispite the few bugs. SYNDROM is actually working on a new outfit as we speak, but it will probably not be released until the September edition. Which means you will all have to do with this one till then, but it is better than waiting for the new outfit and not release (like some do). I think we can all agree on that. The fact that we should have had a difficult start is not really true. We had sort of a lazy beginning. We wanted a new outfit, and waited around for that. When it did not come, I just said - "To hell with it", and we started releasing. We are still short of a few staff-members, but they will come around in the next couple of months. We are not searching for just anybody, but the right people who can supply the magazine with great stuff on a monthly basis. This is the exact same problem we are having in the Internet and game department. Although we have solved our problems in regards to finding someone to do an internet chapter, we still need someone qualified to do the MONTHLY RELEASES. We are known for being one of the best sources for the most accurate release-chart, therefore we will wait with patience till the right person comes along. Anyway, to conclude my comments, I think atleast this edition proves that our demo-section is as strong as our previous one. And with me and CROSSFIRE back in full gear (some may debate this though) we are close to former strenght - and reign in the scene :) .. - VANDALISM NEWS APPLAUD THE PULSE - ---------------------------------- The latest edition of VANDALISM NEWS, edition 22, praised THE PULSE MAGAZINE, in ways I think it has not been before by any of its competitors (except for receiving a total of 2 awards in PROPAGANDA). We bring you parts of the article, written by VENGEANCE/[O+H]. THE MAGAZINE REVIEWS - COMING UP SOON! THE PULSE provided the eternal SPARK that set me back into SCENE MADNESS! Yes, that's right, the rival magazine. I was as you would have seen printed in PROPAGANDA, losing interest. Anyway, back to the subject of THE PULSE, the spark that burned inside of me was started again. THE PULSE returns, and causes a lot of chat on the boards, while many say "it is not up to standard". I for one disagree with that logic, DUKE is the best god damn editor I have ever had the pleasure of noticing, and its surely an enjoyment to see a magazine that is still up with the old rules and facts about the scene. Read the whole magazine properly, and you will see what I mean. ELITENESS is a special quality that comes along once in a while, and finds certain individuals. DUKE has, and will always be a strong believer in this, and I agree with him totally about the changing of the scene. For example, I have been criticized over and over for the way I edit VANDALISM NEWS. Sure this is okay, everyone is welcome to comment about the magazine and the way I write it, but did anyone ever stop to realise that when I edited the magazine in the same way back when it first started, no one complained? Did anyone ever complain at ANTICHRIST for the way he has edited? No way! Why start on the way I edit or for example the way DUKE edits, its completely ridiculous. We only edit to the style that we have come to learn from when we began. Most newer mags use FRIENDSHIP as a quality. A style which in my opinion was picked up from my good friend and ex.scener REMIX/CLIQUE. To tell us off for the way we edit is stupid. A magazine is a point of view, and a focal point for the scene. Don't run anyone into the group because they are "arrogant". The scene operates in different cultures, and in different ways. As time goes on, things change just like with fashion, music, etc. If a magazine can stand for the same belief's for its whole scene existance, I stand up and give credit where it is due. But if it is forced to make opinions just to gain support and game, it is nothing but a FALSEHOOD and a bunch of lies. THE PULSE in my opinion has stuck with its guns since it came along and never in my opinion has it been judged on FRIENDLY TEXTS, or how large the mag was. It has always shown a great deal of style and for that the SCENE should be grateful. - COMMENTS FROM THE EDITOR - --------------------------- Well, what can I say. The best compliments you can receive, is that of your competitor, and my thanks go out to you MATT. I appreciate the fact that honesty also works as a high priority at VANDALISM NEWS, honesty that acts upon events in their true nature - right and wrong. I agree with the fact, that a large part of the scene media is afraid of offending parts of its audience, therefore leaving out the most important job - the media reaction. This means the votes have become the media's true goal - not the responsibility of maintaining the true colour of the scene. + THE MAGAZINE REVIEWS - WORLD OF MAGAZINES + ------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Magazine Review section of MEET THE PRESS. This month I have taken on two excellent magazine, RELAX MAGAZINE (June edition) and PROPAGANDA (17th edition) both of which I had high hopes before reading. But first an explanation of the point-system used to rate the magazines. * : Aweful ** : Bad *** : Acceptable **** : Good ***** : Great ****** : Excellent SUBJECT : RELAX MAGAZINE, JUNE EDITION. LABEL : BAD BYTES ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE. This is the first time we have taken the opportunity of looking at one of today's most promising magazine, RELAX MAGAZINE. Although they have reached the 10th edition, you have to consider, that most of those were put out 10 years ago, while only 3 have been released since November last year. With the splendid new outfit provided by OXYRON, they have a great starting point for a future success. I especially like the fantastic whole screen proportional up-scroll text-area, and the great conversion of the old FRANKIE GOES TO HW soundtrack "RELAX" performed by P.R.I. - Great stuff! The editorial, mainly consisting of MARC and MAX of ALPHA FLIGHT, along with RRR/OXYRON, does an excellent job in my point of view when it comes to giving RELAX MAGAZINE the journalistic edge. Especially RRR must be complimented on a job well done, he is in my opinion one of the most talented editors out there. I look forward to following his work in the near future, atleast he is welcome to join THE PULSE at any time. There is always work for talented people! :) The RELAX program consists of the EDITORIAL, containing more solid text than the average magazine - debate, news and other interesting details can be found here. Their news section, GLOBAL NEWS, is also peformed with excellence by RRR - I cannot hide how much I enjoy his style. The RELAX release chart is done by MAX/AFL and DEFF/AVT, which seems to be no surprise, considering DEFF does most of the release charts in the scene these days. No problem, he is by far capable of doing that job, I just find it a bit sad that every magazine does not have their own editors - no sense in having the same release charts (there should be room for second opinions you know). The Release chart however seems to be done in a fast and somewhat slovenly manor, I really hate when the points are not written directly situated under each other. Sad to see they haven't followed up on RRR's excellent style. The major question with Release charts is, should they be comprised on 1 months release - or simply the releases put out since the LAST edition of the magazine. The problem with the last alternative, is that no one can call themselves the best in a certain month - but in a certain magazine period. That's not so cool, what do you think? Moving on to the remaining parts of the magazine, they have a good balance of chapters - the Board and Mail charts, the interview section, the demo-reviews and the advertisements. A cool chapter not to be missed, is the chapter called BACK TO THE ROOTS, containing stories from old scene events. This one about the contriversial meeting between OMG and SYS (I am sure we all remember that encounter). The chapter, written by MAX, takes the side of SYS putting OMG out to be the bad guy. I cannot argue with that fact, but nor can I support the fact that SYS wanted to fight. Violence has no place, and to me is an act of defeat itself. It is for certain not the acts of an intelligent man. Therefore I think both guys were stupid to provoke this fight, which I am sure most of the scene does anyway. There can be no doubt, RELAX is a fine addition to the world of magazines. I praise it because I feel they are here to stay, and I seriously hope they will not wait another 3-XX months before releasing another edition. In the hope that they will follow-up on this excellent edition, I will give them the following rating. JUDGEMENT : ***** SUBJECT : PROPAGANDA, 17TH EDITION. LABEL : INDEPENDENT. "The show must go on" stated the General Editor, NEWSCOPY, in reference to the tragic death of the graphician SCOPE, which had understandably taken its toll on the PROPAGANDA editorial. But back they were, and so it became the 17th edition of PROPAGANDA. Another happening, a positive one though, is the fact, that the General Editor, NEWSCOPY, has now done more editions of PROPAGANDA than ANTICHRIST - thereby meaning NEWSCOPY can be considered the rightful editor and publisher of the all-time great PROPAGANDA. As always, NEWSCOPY does a fine job presenting his magazine in a professional and elegant style, spiced with his excellent English skills and symphatic personality. The co-editor, DEFF, did an equally fine job with the release-chart. Though PROPAGANDA had many of the things a great magazine tends to have, it kind of appeared senseless and meaningless. Reading the sentimental chapter OUR OWN WORDS, a tribute to SCOPE written by various people who were friends of him, made PROPAGANDA raise above us all - giving a good friend a tribute, one fit for kings. I never had the privelidge of meeting SCOPE, atleast I do not remember him if I did. But it may not have been the death of a close friend, even an acquaintance, but one of a fellow-scener. This is therefore an occasion that should be mourned by us all, and PROPAGANDA succeeded in pulling everyone together doing just that. I find that remarkable, and looking at it professionally, it was one of the best chapters ever written for a magazine I have seen. A big compliment for NEWSCOPY, for the idea that had true meaning and soul. Returning to the magazine, although it may appear rather pointless compared to what PROPAGANDA had gone through, I would like to compliment a job well done. It appears PROPAGANDA is back on a steady road after problems with delayed editions and staff difficulties. I think the solution has worked out fine, and with the work and dedication put into it by NEWSCOPY, it seems PROPAGANDA has been re-born. Leaving out the demo-scene will hurt its possibilities for becoming a true number one in the scene, and definitely hurt its judgement from us. But having done a spectacular job this edition - and a perfect and inspirational tribute to SCOPE, I will make an exception. It may also help to add, that NEWSCOPY has grown to be the editor I respect the most, not only for this edition's achievements, but overall. NEWSCOPY has finally succeeded in making PROPAGANDA what it is, not what it used to be. An achievement which can only be rewarded in its true manor. JUDGEMENT : ****** (FULL HOUSE) - MEET THE PRESS - JULY 1995 - ---------------------------- With those final words, another edition of MEET THE PRESS has come to an end. I sincerly hope you have enjoyed reading this chapter, because I take great pride in the scene media we have today - and feel it as a major responsibility to try and uphold its quality and importance. The chapters represents the VAINS. The VAINS are connected to the PULSE, creating life to the scene! Signed, DUKE.

But, I'm very certain that if this chart was compiled from other magazines than SKYHIGH, CAMELOT would be higher than the guys in (B). * FAIRLIGHT made a little move from 6th place to 3rd place, although we don't see an awful lot of activity from FLT. Als FOCUS made a little move, they're namely out of this chart, I think it's quite strange, as they've just signed on JEROEN TEL and before him, a bunch of other dudes. The keyword is ofcourse to release something which isn't just another demo!

It's entirely coded by him, so I guess he deserves it. * MR. SEX/BYTERAPERS still going strong and moving up the charts, while SLAMMER/CAMELOT and BOB/CENSOR seems to be going down. Speaking of CENSOR, I'm afraid they've had their time in the scene, atleast judging by their latest attempt to CENSOR that they haven't done jack shit lately. I'm speaking of BLA BLA, from The Party 4 which looked just like an old STARION demo... Just added some samples to it!!!

But, I would still say he's an exellent graphician, just look at the latest DOMINATION! By the way, at the time when I first saw his redrawn picture of that scanning of a girl, I knew ofcourse what he did and I also liked what he had done to the original picture. But, I would never see it as a 'crime' what he has done! In fact, I think he just did what a good graphician ought to do! I woul also like to defend JOE/WRATH as he seems to suffer from a similar SCANdal. You should know how much work there really is making a scanned picture look good! By the way, I feel sa to read that EXTEND is dead... May you rest in peace...

Also the HC+ONSLAUGHT co-op received a few votes, but only in the very latest magazines, therefore not giving enough points to enter the chart!

The same goes for HAIN/F4CG, BACCHUS/FAIRLIGHT and MR. WAX/CHROMANCE who also moved 1 spot up! * CBA/SCS+TRC, CROSSFIRE/MOTIV 8 and MOONCHILD/FLT have been spotted on this chart before, so I would say that this chart could use some new faces once in a while. Anyway, how hard can it be to vote for someone else than the usual mob of gangstas? Personally, I wouldn't vote for anyone who writes 'cracked by' in their intros, when the original was just a copy they got from someone else!

The new season's votes should then start coming in sometime during the next months I think. Then we'll see who's the real number one!!! * ONSLAUGHT starting to gain control over the magazinechart with the usual VANDALISM NEWS and now also DOMINATION, eventhough DOMINATION is released by JAZZCAT and not under the ONSLAUGHT label. recent sheets, exposes it as a soon to be no.1 mag though!

But, by the looks of it, INTRUDER/AVANTGARDE will soon be taking over CALYPSO's position, looking at the fact that INTRUDER jumped from position 8 to position 2! * LEMMING walked over the edge as LEMMINGS are supposed to do, so he has vanished from the chart. In addition to tha I checked the latest AFL memberstatus where he didn't figure as a member of the flight. Do I see a connection here Anyway, the swapper chart is probably the one which is most different from time to time, as you can see.
