General Editor Top Cracking Group: --------------------------------------- Pos: Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Avantgarde 392 (2) #2 Alphaflight 1970 248 (4) #3 Success * Trc 245 (1) #4 F4cg 236 (3) #5 Chromance 210 (5) #6 Excess & Acrise 104 (7) #7 Hardcore 91 (10) #8 Atlantis 89 (11) #9 Laxity 88 (13) #10 Fairlight 68 (9) #11 Motiv8 61 (6) #12 Hitmen 43 (-) #13 Xenon 30 (-) #14 Triad 28 (12) #15 Active 11 (-) --------------------------------------- >>> Comments ------- Avantgarde retain the number one position with the Scs & Trc coop slipping to number three. Old time fame, Alphaflight 1970, jump from position four to two, due to the cool mail versions and their main crackers Ignorance and Ream. Hardcore for no apparent reason move up three positions, i find this strange considering they haven't done anything at all in a very long time. Laxity continues to climb with the nice mail versions done by Didi. Close to them is the new cooperation of Excess & Acrise who should be even higher by next issue. New entries such as Hitmen and Xenon may rise in the charts over coming issues, approaching is Active and the rebuilt X-Rated. Top Single Cracker: --------------------------------------- Pos: Handle/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Jack Alien/AVT 298 (2) #2 Burglar/SCS+TRC 204 (1) #3 Ignorance/AFL 158 (6) #4 Hain/F4CG 151 (5) #5 Mr Wax/CHROMANCE 116 (10) #6 Cba/TRC+SCS 102 (7) #7 Ream/AFL 66 (-) #8 Bacchus/FAIRLIGHT 56 (3) #9 Derbyshire Ram/AVT 54 (4) #10 Dodger/HITMEN 46 (8) #11 Calypso/AFL/AMNESIA 45 (-) #12 Gash/EXCESS & ACRISE 44 (-) #13 Didi/LAXITY 36 (11) #14 Rage/AVT 31 (13) #15 Sneaper/F4CG 27 (9) --------------------------------------- >>> Comments ------- Jack Alien and Burglar trade places for the second issue in a row, but the real surprise is the move from The Ignorance from position six to three, he may even climb into the top two by next issue. Inactive Hain climbs one more position, when he really should be falling places. Hungarian Mr Wax, makes good placing from ten to five with some cool mail and first release versions. Legendary cracker Bacchus falls places from three to eight, probably due to his fall in activity. Similar with Derbyshire Ram who loses places due to the slow english market at the moment. Active crackers such as Ream, Jolz and Crazy Bird should be voted in higher than their current positions. Top Demo group: --------------------------------------- Pos: Group: Points: Last Prod: L/p: #1 Reflex 368 Mathematica (2) #2 O xyron 345 Dawnfall (3) #3 Camelot 307 Camel Park (1) #4 Byterapers 290 Extremes (4) #5 Agony Design 182 Love (5) #6 Taboo 140 A.states prv (7) #7 Censor 109 Bla Bla (12) #8 Crest 81 It's Coming (14) #9 Antic 78 Dein Zycrex (9) #10 Focus 76 V.Delight 2 (8) #11 Fairlight 71 Skaaneland (6) #12 Wrath Designs 59 C.o.soviet (13) #13 Beyond Force 54 A.o.s. 3 (-) #14 Vermes 38 Scorpion (-) #15 Padua 36 Torture 5 (-) --------------------------------------- >>> Comments ------- As predicted last month Reflex take the number one position for the first time with their magnificient demo 'Mathematica' (reviewed this issue). Oxyron also gains another place pushing Camelot from the number one to three. Byterapers remain steady on rank four, but should climb into th top three or two after their 'Extremes' release. Taboo shouldn't be nearly as high and will fall more places over the next issues if activity doesn't pick up. Censor should also fall, their promised 'DEEP' demo has been delayed once again. As one would expect Crest have climbed places and will continue to do so with their new demo close at hand. Readers should pay careful attention to the Hungarian and Polish scenes. Names such as Profik, Albion and Smash Designs should gain more votes.. Top Programmer: --------------------------------------- Pos: Handle/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Slammer/CAMELOT 277 (1) #2 Quiss/REFLEX 246 (5) #3 Mr.Sex/BYTERAPERS 232 (2) #4 Graham/OXYRON 197 (3) #5 Tts/OXYRON 108 (4) #6 Druid/AGONY 94 (9) #7 Mms/TABOO 74 (6) #8 Crossbow/CREST 73 (10) #9 Tron/FAIRLIGHT 68 (7) #10 Bob/CENSOR 66 (11) #11 Axis/OXYRON 61 (8) #12 Cruzer/CAMELOT 46 (-) #13 Km/TABOO 43 (-) #14 Depeh/ANTIC 42 (12) #15 Unifier/FLASH INC 40 (-) --------------------------------------- >>> Comments ------- Slammer retains the number one position, but close behind is the ever so active Reflex programmer Quiss. Mr.Sex falls position, but should remain steady in the top three position. The Oxyron programmers Graham and Tts still persist in the top 10, although Tts should fall soon due to the huge inactivity on his behalf because of Pc activities. Mms, Bob, Cruzer and Km should be not as high, voters should really look at who is active these days. Although something soon is expected from Cruzer and Camelot and the Taboo demo 'Altered States' from Mms and Km should be out sometime also, but until then try voting for the current favourites. Expect Crossbow to once again lead into the top five with the release of the new Crest demo 'Its Coming' out soon. Top Graphicians: --------------------------------------- Pos: Handle/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Cruise/TABOO 257 (4) #2 Creeper/ANTIC 218 (2) #3 Joe/WRATH DESIGNS 200 (3) #4 Electric/EXTEND 117 (1) #5 Fazee/TABOO 100 (5) #6 Rrr/OXYRON 85 (6) #7 Astaroth/AGONY/AVT 79 (-) #8 Cupid/AVT 71 (8) #9 Carrion/ELYSIUM 59 (12) #10 Hein Design/FOCUS 55 (-) #11 Rob/CAMELOT 54 (9) #12 Roder/AGONY 49 (13) #13 Compyx/FOCUS 47 (-) #14 Dane/TRIAD 42 (-) #15 EarthQuake/CS/ANTIC 41 (-) --------------------------------------- Comments ------- Cruise finally stands above all in the field of painting, lets hope his artistic talent can lift the inactivity of Taboo lately. Strangely Creeper remains at the number two, even though his promised graphics collection 'Creep Show 2' hasn't been released still. Joe from Wrath Designs stays firm on third place, still recieving votes for his brilliant work in 'Courtesy of SOviet', also check this issue for more graphics by him! Astaroth debuts at position seven, some great intro logos and full screen pictures from him lately. Dane and Earthquake finally enter the charts, and do so deservably, after some active work for the magazine industry of late. Electric, Hein and Rob should be far lower in the chart due to their huge inactivity. Top Musicians: --------------------------------------- Pos: Name/Group: Points: Last Issue: #1 Pri/OXYRON/TIA 276 (1) #2 Syndrom/CREST/TIA 209 (2) #3 Pvcf/REFLEX 172 (4) #4 Jeff/CAMELOT 139 (3) #5 Fanta/OXYRON/BASS 137 (6) #6 Zyron/ANTIC/SWEMIX 121 (8) #7 Compod/AGONY 116 (5) #8 Red Devil/FLT/SWEMIX 100 (11) #9 Drax/VIBRANTS 98 (9) #10 Moog/AGONY 83 (12) #11 Shogoon/TABOO 71 (7) #12 Metal/VIBRANTS/AVT 67 (-) #13 Jeroen Tel 62 (10) #14 Praiser/GALIYCA 59 (-) #15 Arne/ALPHAFLIGHT 36 (-) --------------------------------------- >>> Comments ------- The top position being Pri stays firm and the other top four basically remains the same as last month. However one would notice the climbing of Reflex musician Pvcf, who will and should climb even more positions by the next issue. Fanta continues his accend to the throne, with his great musicical talent being featured in the latest Oxyron demonstrations. It is great to see some new talents reach the charts such as Praiser whose music is featured in this edition Old time favourites such as Red Devil/Flt and Jeroen Tel will surely fall in future issues if some kind of activity doesn't start. Musicians such as Cubehead, Morbid and Orcan should be way higher, think before you vote! Top Mail Traders: --------------------------------------- Pos: Name/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Intruder/AVANTGARDE 232 (1) #2 Spermbird/<C>/E+A 173 (2) #3 Calypso/AFL/AMNESIA 86 (3) #4 Splatterhead/SCS*TRC 84 (5) #5 D'Ram/AVANTGARDE 80 (4) #6 Syco/CHROMANCE 61 (9) #7 Spectator/SCS*TRC 50 (-) #8 Walker/F4CG 43 (6) #9 Shuze/AFL 40 (14) #10 Kbs 36 (-) #11 Starlight/EXTACY 35 (15) #12 Garth/ARCOSS 34 (-) #13 H-Bloxx/F4CG 32 (8) #14 Scroll/MEGASTYLE 28 (-) #15 Sebaloz/LEPSI 26 (-) --------------------------------------- >>> Comments ------- The top five basically remain the same since last issue, with main 'Domination' votesheet spreader, Intruder being on the number one. Calypso should fall soon due to his cut back in swapping. Spectator returns to the charts after a break from swapping and should again rise to former positions. How unusual this issue not to see Nightshade in the chart at all, but from his activities one could guess why. Some new faces are approaching with Nasty Boy closing on the charts, and one would think he may enter at a good position by next issue. Some old faces still appear though with D'ram, Syco and Walker still right up there with the younger sceners. >>> Top Disk Magazine: --------------------------------------- Pos: Name/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Skyhigh/Camelot 301 (1) #2 Vandalism News/Onslaught 287 (3) #3 Nitro/Excess & Acrise 263 (2) #4 Propaganda 177 (6) #5 Relax/Phuture 164 (7) #6 The Pulse 156 (11) #7 Mendip/Arcoss 138 (5) #8 Shout/Eqx & Flt 85 (4) #9 Revealed/Imn & Camelot 62 (8) #10 Tribune/Angry 54 (9) #11 MetaMorphosis/Agony 47 (15) #12 Driven/Style 34 (14) #13 Insider/Reflex 33 (10) #14 Grapevine/Tdr 30 (-) #15 Splash/Accuracy 23 (-) --------------------------------------- Comments ------- Skyhigh makes it once again to the number one position, but i fear it may be threatened with the recent popularity of the board based magazines. Nitro slips a place and Vandalism, a much more active magazine slides into the second position. Propaganda leaps from six to four and appears to grow even more popular, as with the Relax magazine, which also climbs two places. The Pulse is rapidly climbing back into the top of the charts with a leap from position eleven to six. Shout is finally slipping out of the charts due to the very low activity level from the editors. One would also expect the great Revealed magazine to also slip slowly from the charts. Good news though with the popular American mag, Driven, gaining more positions.
