     issue #25 comes to you during      
   the very first days of april 1995.   
                                        
                                        
                                        
  MR.AMMO, IOPOP, JERRY, RAVE and WINGO 
      did the game testing for this     
           the very last time.          
                                        
  if your version was not tested here,  
  we simply didn´t get a working copy   
           of it. your loss!

   since this is the last issue ever    
         of this disk magazine,         
     i will grab the oportunity to      
    really ramble on about nothing,     
    to write at the full content of     
               my heart.                
                                        
       like it or not, who cares?       
          i´m happy with that :)        
                                        
                                        
                                        

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                        
   issue number 25 sounds like a nice   
 reason to celebrate, but this is       
 actually the 26th issue.               
                                        
   some of you remember that we made    
 # 15 the last one. at that time we     
 really meant it. however, some of us   
 kept testing anyway. then when we      
 decided to resume THE GUIDE after all, 
 we made #15.5 to show all the test-    
 data we had collected during the time  
 of silence.                       ---> 

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   as you know, the idea for THE GUIDE  
 came from INJUN. i got RICO from       
 PRETZEL LOGIC to do the text editor    
 for us since i knew what it had to be  
 like. when that was done, unfortunatly 
 no coder was interested enough.        
                                        
   it wasn´t untill the guys from the   
 swedish group REBELS joined us, that   
 THE GUIDE was brought out into the     
 open again.                            
                                        
   we really owe it all to BISMARCK who 
 pushed HERO into making the first code 
 we used. 801DC just finnished the      
 intro he had been working on.          

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   the first 8 issues were in a single  
 file format which limited the ammount  
 of data and text.                      
                                        
   the first 3 issues were totally in   
 the hands of BISMARCK. after t@at i    
 gradually took over. partially this    
 was to allow BISMARCK to get more time 
 for has cracking.                      
                                        
   it has been a TRIAD magazine, no     
 doubt about that, but when it came to  
 the game testing and display of data,  
 we felt an obligation to be as         
 objective as we possibly could be, not 
 to rank versions, only show the facts. 

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   i think that today, most of the      
 scene can see that we treated everyone 
 the same way. there was no end to the  
 pride i felt when someone sought the   
 help from THE GUIDE, because he knew   
 we would be fair.                      
                                        
   this doesn´t mean that we were       
 perfect. far from it. we made our fair 
 share of misstakes. i am sure that     
 one or two guys would say that all we  
 did was misstakes. :)                  
                                        
   most of those guys are long gone     
 from t@e scene while TRIAD is still    
 here. tells you something!             

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   issue # 1 was released just before   
 christmas 1990. # 25 was supposed to   
 be released just before christmas 1994 
 to perfectly time a fitting end of an  
 era. when i managed to delay it more   
 and more, it was even more fitting!!!  
                                        
   the days of real cracking are over.  
 most of what is done today is to       
 install cheat-options and sometimes    
 to tidy up the garbage left in the     
 code by a sloppy coder.                
                                        
   people have told us that THE GUIDE   
 is the only reason for them to keep    
 working the scene. never the less  --> 

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
 some of those have left the scene or   
 cut down on activities. in reality,    
 THE GUIDE was just a bonus, but not    
 really the reason. we knew that.       
                                        
   i think that those who like to       
 crack, will still do that even without 
 THE GUIDE. they just have to make sure 
 to spread their wares a bit better, so 
 people will get to see their work.     
                                        
   some people have suggested to me to  
 renew the theme of THE GUIDE now t@at  
 the cracker scene has changed. this is 
 because they don´t understand why i    
 have lost the interest in doing it.    

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   the reason quite simply is that even 
 if i like parts of the job, the bad    
 part makes me so sick of it that the   
 effect is that i just push it off to   
 the next day and the next and so on.   
                                        
   i really could have released #25 in  
 december, but just looking over at the 
 diskbox with swopdisks made me sick.   
                                        
   i opened the box anyway and i tested 
 a disk and when i was done with it, i  
 realized that tomorrow would be a so   
 much better day to do the rest. i was  
 right, the next day i clearly saw that 
 tomorrow would be a much better day :) 

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   when i had done that for many weeks  
 and when i had han@ed out several      
 promises to have it done the next week 
 i finally gave up and actually did the 
 testing of the rest of the disks.      
                                        
   for this issue i tested some 240     
 versions. RAVE tested some 150, and    
 the others tested 30-40 versions in    
 all together.                          
                                        
   it is of course impossible to handle 
 THE GUIDE on only two persons doing    
 the testing especially when i am the   
 editor and people think that i am the  
 only one who can test their games!     

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   naturally we tried to find swoppers  
 who could help us test games, but none 
 of them were really interested and so  
 we never got any help.                 
                                        
   however, today the number of games   
 that has to be tested is not really    
 the problem. it is more like i made a  
 problem out of it. those 240 versions  
 were accumulated during 5 months.      
                                        
   now it is all too late and i just    
 don´t like to do it any longer. i      
 don´t like the games any longer since  
 they are all just copies of games that 
 are allready done, and i don´t   -->   

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
 like the new coders, because they mess 
 with the code so there are problems    
 depending on the the equipment used    
 and i don´t like the coders and the    
 crackers for their very bad language.  
                                        
   i get pissed when i get a dox file   
 that can´t be understood because of    
 the bad english. even worse when the   
 game includes bad english.             
                                        
   at is a fucking insult that they     
 think they can give us bad quality as  
 if we wouldn´t know the difference.    
 it is an insult to those coders who    
 really can do a good job or those  --> 

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
 who bother to find help with proper    
 language.                              
                                        
   so, most of the time when i test a   
 game, i am insulted. most of it is     
 pure garbage and why in hell should i  
 waste my energy on that? i refuse to   
 support that any longer and since no   
 one else is interested in doing the    
 job for us, THE GUIDE is dead.         
                                        
   the end of something is always also  
 the start of something new. as it is   
 all in the eye of the beholder, look   
 to the possibilitaes and things will   
 look good for us all.                  

         THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE         
 -------------------------------------- 
   so, maybe there is reason for a      
 celebration after all. THE GUIDE will  
 leave the scene and make room for new  
 stuff.                                 
                                        
   maybe now after all those years i    
 will have time to take care of all the 
 swopdisks i have accumulated over the  
 years, to list them and to share the   
 programs with others. t@ere are some   
 7000 disks to take care of, so i will  
 have my future set out for me.         
                                        
        here´s for the future.

    the idea behind the guide, was      
    to give you information of all      
    the different versions released     
              of a game.

 -------------------------------------- 
    games were added to THE GUIDE as    
   they came to us. our dream was to    
    show you EVERY version of a game    
           that was released.           
                                        
    we could not play every level of    
  every version of the games. however,  
   we did what we could to get close.   
                                        
   the games listed in THE GUIDE are    
 NOT ranked. on popular demand they are 
 listed in order of their length.       
                                        
   if you want to vote on a group or    
 a cracker, please do. the scene is     
 drowned in vote sheets from all magz.

 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
 here are some rules used.              
                                        
 separate pic, dox or other files are   
 not counted as part of the crack.      
 when pics are left in the game, this   
 is noted for fair comparison.          
                                        
 a separate highscore file is noted as  
 an H in the number-of-files column.    
 the length is included in the blocks.  
                                        
 added fastloader and some sort of      
 file-chain routine is noted.           
                                        
 other extras are noted separately.

 JERRY will spend more and more time    
 listing his collection so he will      
 actually know what can be found on all 
 those thousands of disks.              
                                        
 all sorts of demos, lame or good are   
 wellcome. especially from the east.    
 all magazines are wellcome.

 however, it seems that some mail for   
 CA$H disappears in the postal service. 
 this is most likely because of cheated 
 stamps. cheat so it doesn´t show or    
 perhaps try proper stamps! send again  
 if you didn´t get a reply from CA$H.

 not handle any speed swopping.         
                                        
 however, WINGO will love to swop old

 the mc gottifant intro is signed /AVT. 
 can´t remember who did that demo, but  
 AVANTGARDE didn´t exist in those days. 
 it is a dead copy of an AMIGA demo     
 that i saw in 1987-88 anyway.

   the music in the title screen was    
 composed by KRAVIN/TRIAD and the name  
 of the tune is "little sister". the    
 proper credit appears in the code, but 
 the total lamer who ripped the music   
 managed to fuck it up. the base track  
 is out of sync and it sounds terrible. 
 the guy must be tone deaf!

 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
   in # 24 you could read about the     
 game ASTATIN and how the original that 
 was globally spread, really was a      
 re-crack. the re-crack is a proven     
 fact and everyone agrees to that.      
                                        
   you could also read how i had come   
 to the conclusion that this re-        
 cracking was done by EXCESS and i made 
 a wild guess that SENTINEL could be    
 the member who did it.                 
                                        
   it was suggested to me that it was   
 EXCESS who did the re-crack, but i     
 didn´t just accept at as fact.     --> 

        NOT UNTILL PROVEN GUILTY        
 -------------------------------------- 
   i called around to a heap of groups  
 and those calls costed me a bundle. i  
 did everything possible to trace where 
 all the originals had first come from. 
                                        
   all of them, everyone that i could   
 trace backwards, had come from EXCESS. 
 i took that as a proof that the tip    
 had been right. after all, i was lucky 
 to be able to trace any of them.       
                                        
   following the article i got a letter 
 from SENTINEL who was surpricingly     
 nice about it all. reading the letter  
 and reading articles about re-cracking 
 published by EXCESS, i have       -->  

        NOT UNTILL PROVEN GUALTY        
 -------------------------------------- 
 reconsidered my opinion. SENTINEL was  
 big enough about it all and admitted   
 that my conclusion was reasonable      
 under the circumstanses.               
                                        
   EXCESS indeed spread the original,   
 but they in turn got it from someone   
 else. they are not able to say where   
 they got it. too much time has passed  
 and no one is sure about it.           
                                        
   my evidence was only circumstancial  
 and today i am prepared to believe     
 SENTINEL on his word. this means that  
 i owe him and EXCESS an apology. not   
 the first time.. .   sigh!        -->

   the following item has nothing what  
 so ever to do with cracking or the     
 cracker scene, but i don´t give a shit 
 about that. it is so serious to me     
 that i use whatever means i have to    
 spread the TRIAD view on it.

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
   in PORTFOLIO 1, the first and the    
 last pictures were made by DANE by way 
 of putting colors to and repainting    
 two pictures that were digitized from  
 photos back in 1985.                   
                                        
   those and a great number of other    
 pix were used in several pic-shows and 
 they were used by lamers in "DEMOS"    
 made with early demo writers.          
                                        
   people tried to put colors to those  
 pictures even back then, but this is   
 not as easy as it may seem. if you try 
 it, you will find that it is fucking   
 hard to get a good result.             

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
   so, when DANE had turned those       
 pictures into something far better     
 than the digitized pictures, he was    
 proud of it.                           
                                        
   as i said, those pictures are old    
 and i had most of them back in 1986-   
 1987. it never occured to me that the  
 scene has so many new people who have  
 never seen them.                       
                                        
   it didn´t occur to me that someone   
 who saw one of those pictures today    
 for the first time, could think that   
 DANE had been trying to cheat.         
                                   -->  

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
   just because i sort of took for      
 granted that everyone knew about those 
 pictures, it never occured to me to    
 tell DANE to make sure to declare      
 where those pictures came from and     
 that he had only put colors to them.   
                                        
                                        
   in VANDALISM NEWS #17 was an article 
 by RRR about this. comparing pictures  
 in details, RRR proves that DANE       
 cheated and he demanded that DANE must 
 be banned from all charts.             
                                        
   i can understand that he thought     
 that DANE cheated, but i can not  -->  

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
 accept that he demands to have DANE    
 banned from the charts. why? does he   
 think that DANE uses old digitized     
 pictures for everyhting? even an idiot 
 can see that this is not the case.     
                                        
   i got really upset by that article   
 and i wrote a very angry letter to RRR 
 where i explained that those two pics  
 were the only ones DANE had done like  
 that and why he had done them. i also  
 explained that the missing credit was  
 really MY fault and why.               
                                        
   then along comes the magazine RELAX  
 and in it another article by RRR.      

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
   in this new article, RRR poants to   
 my letter and states that it is his    
 duty as a reporter to inform people of 
 the facts.                             
                                        
   then why doesn´t he mension the fact 
 that i have told him that the missing  
 credits was really MY fault?           
                                        
   why doesn´t he mensaon the fact that 
 i told him that indeed those pictures  
 are the same? instead the article in   
 RELAX "proves" it like the first one.  
 why prove something that he KNOWS?     
 obviously he wants it to look like we  
 are trying to hide the facts.          

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
   in a letter to me, RRR says that he  
 can not know that those two pictures   
 are not the only ones where DANE used  
 old digitized pictures.                
                                        
   of course he can´t, but i told him   
 so and then he has to take my word for 
 it. after all, i don´t ask him to      
 prove that he does his art himself.    
 i take his word for it.                
                                        
   in the same letter to me, RRR claims 
 that i don´t understand the scene and  
 that fun and friendship is what makes  
 the scene. well, where is the fun and  
 friendship when he refuses to    --->  

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
 believe me on my word when i say that  
 it was all my fault and that DANE has  
 never again played with old digitized  
 pictures?                              
                                        
   playing with someone elses pictures  
 is one way to learn about painting     
 and that was the reason for DANE to do 
 it. RRR tells me that this is lame.    
                                        
   tell it to REMBRANDT, VAN GOGH and   
 others. they most certainly studied    
 and immitated t@e style and methods of 
 earlier masters, all as a step in the  
 process of learning. so who is the     
 real lamer here?                       

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
   RRR wants to have DANE banned from   
 charts for c@eating, but RRR has been  
 told that DANE didn´t mean to cheat.   
                                        
   as a veteran and experienced leader  
 I should have noticed the missing      
 credits and had it corrected. it was   
 all my fault. and i told RRR so.       
                                        
   RRR still wants DANE banned. in my   
 book this definitely makes RRR a 100%  
 asshole! what is the use of proper     
 language and sensible reasoning when   
 a guy doesn´t belive you anyway? by    
 calling RRR dirty names at least i get 
 rid of some excess adrenaline.         

            THE BIG SCANDAL             
 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
   SENTINEL told me his side of the     
 ASTATIN affair. i choose to take his   
 word for it, even when also SENTINEL   
 admitted that my deductions had been   
 reasonable.                            
                                        
                                        
   i listened.                          
                                        
   i understood.                        
                                        
   a hope he forgives me.               
                                        
   friendship!

   when i told RRR that DANE never      
 meant to hide that the two pictures    
 were digitized pictures, then RRR      
 doesn´t believe me or DANE. he still   
 wants DANE banned for cheating.        
                                        
   he listens? naa

   dear editors, this letter concerns   
 the mags which uses a loader for both  
 the text and the menu.                 
                                        
   with time, i have become annoyed     
 by havang to wait for up to 30 seconds 
 for loding the menu again so i can     
 choose another chapter to load.        
                                        
   the function of a mag is to spread   
 information or entertainement to the   
 scene by displaying text. the point is 
 NOT to show us tons of routines. save  
 those efforts for a demo or an intro.

                NO SCORE                
 -------------------------------------- 
   one of the things i really hate in   
 game testing is non working HI-SCORE   
 savers.                                
                                        
   it happens on occation that a game   
 really catches on. somehow i get in    
 harmony and everything is in full      
 sync. then of course i really go for a 
 top result just to see where i can go. 
                                        
   this happened when i played the      
 AFL 70 version of TWO-TRIS. god what a 
 feeling when i passed level after      
 level. do you wonder why i think that  
 SKINHEAD is a lousy cracker?

 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
                                        
                                        
   game testing can be tiresome and if  
 the games to be tested are boring you  
 halfways to the funny farm, then you   
 are likely to miss out on an error.    
                                        
   testing the SEUCK games is the best  
 example of this.                       
                                        
   the standard setting in the SEUCK    
 editor is for two players, so most     
 games has this option. the player is   
 activated by the first wiggeling of    
 the joy in the corresponding port. ->  

        THE GREAT JOY-1 SLAUGHTER       
 -------------------------------------- 
   what i just discovered is that MET   
 doesn´t handle this right when he      
 installs cheat mode.                   
                                        
   select ENDLESS LIVES and keep the    
 collition detections on. if you then   
 use joy port 1, the game will crash    
 as soon as your player dies.           
                                        
   this happens either you are alone,   
 using joy 1, or if both players are in 
 action.                                
                                        
   i found this error in all of the +3  
 versions by MET that i had at hand, so 
 i assume he always does this.

   i meant to pack the intro and copy   
 THE GUIDE and send it out today, when  
 a certain letter arrived. this may     
 mean a delay of one day, so what?      
                                        
   the letter started:                  
                                        
  dieser brief wurde zu dir geschickt   
        um dir gluck zu bringen         
                  ---                   
      this letter was sent to you       
            to bring you luck           
                                   -->

   i am pretty sure that most of you    
 have seen this sort of mail before. i  
 have it in swedish too of course. it   
 is supposed to have started over in    
 venezuela 1953 and so on.              
                                        
   i really hate this sort of chain-    
 mail for w@at it can do to people. in  
 the letter is a hidden threat that you 
 will be haunted by bad luck if you     
 break the chain. there are those who   
 really believe in it even if they say  
 they don´t. they send off their 20     
 copies and their defence is to say:    
                                        
    WHAT HARM CAN IT DO AFTER ALL?      

               FUCK MAIL                
 -------------------------------------- 
   first of all they lie to themselves  
 when they pretend not to believe in    
 this.                                  
                                        
   secondly, and this is the bad thing, 
 it may really hurt one of those who is 
 forced to receive this letter.         
                                        
   there are people who are so afraid   
 of this sort of thing that they really 
 get ill from it. they may do what they 
 are told and still feel bad in fear of 
 having done a misstake. do you think   
 for a second that this poor sod was    
 touched by mother luck when he got     
 that letter?                      -->  

               FUCK MAIL

   i got esentially the same letter a   
 few years back and i got it from a     
 girl i thought was my friend. i wrote  
 to her and i told her that i refused   
 to forward it.                         
                                        
   i was supposed to experience bad     
 luck now that i broke the chain.       
                                        
   instead i got lucky. i inherited a   
 rather big sum of money from a distant 
 relative.                              
                                        
   naturally the money soon was gone    
 and i missed it because i had gotten   
 used to be able to buy a few things.-> 

               FUCK MAIL                
 -------------------------------------- 
   the thought entered my mind that     
 THIS was the bad luck for me, to have  
 tasted having money and then not to    
 have it any longer.                    
                                        
   however, it didn´t last long. i used 
 my brain and realized that it was all  
 in my mind. i had used the money to    
 pay off a loan to a relative. i was    
 rid of that old loan and my aunt was   
 happy to have her money back.          
                                        
   my son was offered a very good       
 apartment while he was still doing his 
 army service. now i could help him so  
 he could get the apartment.            

               FUCK MAIL                
 -------------------------------------- 
   i bought myself a set of TECHNICS    
 music machines, something i would      
 never have been able to afford unless  
 i hade inherited that money.           
                                        
   how could any of this be considered  
 to be bad luck in any way? of course   
 it was all GOOD luck and that shitty   
 chain letter was proven to be absolute 
 garbage.                               
                                        
   the letter was mailed in ZWOLLE on   
 the 24th of march. whoever you are,    
 you are not my friend. if you believe  
 an those things, my curse is on you :)

   when KRAVIN decided that he would    
   give his music all the spare time

 - MIDNIGHT MOVER got active again and  
   set up ILLUSION OF REALITY again.    
   this lasted some month and then he   
   dropped his 64 activities.           
                                        
 - VAIN joined TRIAD as a swopper and   
   gametester. he soon found that his   
   studies at the university demanded   
   more time of him than he had         
   expected and he left the scene.

   there is a risk that he will finnish

   i got the following text from the    
 DERBYSHIRE RAM before christmas. i had 
 called him and told him that this was  
 really all i missed for issue # 25.    
                                        
   now, 3 month later, would it look    
 out of sync, thus better be discarded  
 or could it be salvaged? when you get  
 to the last page, you realize why i    
 couldn´t bring myself to waste it  :)

   well, here it is mid-december. it    
 seems a long time since issue #24, and 
 even longer since i last wrote any-    
 thing for THE GUIDE. since august you  
 would think there would be a lot to    
 talk about but sadly in the UK the     
 scene goes from bad to worse.          
                                        
   in the near future COMMODORE FORMAT  
 will cease publication for good. it    
 will be the last 64 only mag to be in  
 circulation, but by march or there     
 about, there will be no 64 magazine on 
 the 64 market.                         

            DERBYSHIRE VIEWS            
 -------------------------------------- 
   hopefully some small groups of users 
 will produce a FANZINE type mag just   
 to keep the 64 alive. ideas are        
 already being worked on to get this    
 mag up and running. it will be a must  
 for the small software houses left in  
 the UK to install their advertising,   
 otherwise games as we know them in the 
 UK will cease to exsist.               
                                        
   did you know that APEX sold just     
 over 6,000 copies of MONSTER IN        
 MAYHEMLAND? not bad for mail order     
 only. these greedy guys said it was    
 not enough, so they will not go ahead  
 with anymore software for the 64.      

            DERBYSHIRE VIEWS            
 -------------------------------------- 
   as for scene life, only MAYHEM are   
 now active as a 64 cracking group. so, 
 i ask, what is left for us in the UK.  
                                        
   hang on a moment, what about         
 ELECTRIC BOYZ you say.....             
                                        
                                        
   the truth is that since they were    
 hyped up in the UK, they have only     
 released a small budget compilation,   
 and the "full" game HEAVENBOUND.       
                                        
   it seems our old friend EWAN GILLIES 
 has made quite a mess of things again. 
 he was staying with IRONFIST to   -->

 make the production of games easier,   
 then EWAN or DIAMOND STUD, KING RAT,   
 call him what you will, abused the     
 hospitality given to him and knocked   
 up an enormous phonebill for RUSSEL.   
 so EWAN was booted out of the house    
 and the ELECTRIC BOYZ set up.          
                                        
   now they are in competition of       
 sorts, EWAN having taken away various  
 tools and utilities with him.          
                                        
   see, some guys never change! he has  
 ripped off more code from other guys   
 than i have ripped sheets of toilet    
 paper in my 56 years.             -->

 are still hoping to produce the goods. 
 i say, the sooner the better.          
                                        
   well, we come to the end of another  
 year and another era. JERRY tells me   
 that this will most certainly be the   
 last issue of GAMER´S GUIDE ever.      
                                        
   i for one will certainly miss the    
 magazine, it is the only one i read    
 from beginning to end. i know it has   
 had it´s critics who assume that the   
 mag is a bible, but it put a breath of 
 fresh air into the scene when it was   
 most wanted.                      -->

   what a lot of guys do still not      
 realise, is that the mag is a GUIDE.   
 otherwise TRIAD would probably have    
 called it GAMERS BIBLE.                
                                        
   i have been hammered on at least two 
 occasions for "bugged games", but you  
 never saw me crying out ´this is not   
 fair´! actually i laughed, since no    
 one can or ever will be 100% perfect   
 (unless you just happen to be in       
 LEGEND), but then what do you put      
 behind the word perfect ?!             
                                        
   so, i would like to thank JERRY and  
 all past and present members of   -->

 TRIAD for producing this magazine for  
 what will now be 26 issues. they have  
 been as fair as anyone could be in     
 making it a most interesting project.  
                                        
   at times, the pressure must have     
 been really enormous, slaving through  
 literally hundreds of games. i was     
 satisfied and i have to say that i was 
 glad to make just a small contribution 
 to a most successful magazine.

   YOU SORT OF FLOAT OFF TO A BRIGHT    
 LIGHT AT THE END OF A TUNNEL.          
                                        
                                        
   that is how my grandmother described 
 death to me. to her, death was no more 
 than the transition from this world    
 to the next one. no big deal.          
                                        
   30 years later i read the book about 
 near death experiences written by an   
 american doctor. some passages in this 
 book were just like hearing granny´s   
 words over again.                 -->  

             THE LAST CORNER            
 -------------------------------------- 
   not that i needed it, but still it   
 was nice to get the words from my      
 granny confirmed that way.             
                                        
   in spite of my conviciton, it makes  
 me so sad to see a fellow scener take  
 that trip towards the bright light. at 
 my age, i know all the things he will  
 not get the chance to do. not in this  
 life anyway and THAT is the hard part. 
                                        
   SCOPE was in TRIAD for a time. i got 
 to know him a bit through our chats on 
 the phone and when he called THE       
 STUDIO. when he left TRIAD this was so 
 he could work with his big city buds.  

             THE LAST CORNER            
 -------------------------------------- 
   some of those who were to the party  
 at EKERÖ a few weeks ago got them-     
 selves a bit of a giggle when i arived 
 when the party was over and people     
 were about to leave the place.         
                                        
   i admit that i felt stupid about it, 
 but at least i got to meet SCOPE and i 
 got a chat with him. strange how some  
 things work out for the best.          
                                        
   following an accident, SCOPE took    
 the steps round that final corner and  
 there he found the path leading up to  
 that bright light we all, sooner or    
 or later will go to.

          and this is the end.
