your real name.
F= my name is OSKAR STAL.
H= and your age is?
F= 15 years old.
H= what's YOUR job in LIGHT?
F= i'm coding and swapping.
H= in how many groups have you
been in, and what's their
name?
F= it's 4 ones. first it was a
group called MICRO SERVICE.
that was the time i coded in
basic.. after that i joined
a group called TITAN. well,
i didn't stay there to long,
so i joined TRIAD. after
releasing some demos for them
i left and joined LIGHT,
and where i still am.

LIGHT and what's their name?
F= there's 6 of them named:
WACO, GOBLIN, RASH, ICECUBE,
SHADE and ME.
H= who found the name LIGHT?
F= i think i was goblin.
H= when did you bought your 64?
F= in the end of 1986.
H= how did you got the interest
to start coding?
F= i read the manual and started
to CODE in BASIC three days
after i got my computer. one
of the reasons is that i
didn't know anyone who had
this marvellous computer.
in SUMMER'88 i started to
code in machine language.
H= when did you got famous?
F= first it was not so many who
know who i was, but with the
time i got more and more
wellknown. nearly all the
swedes know who i am.
H= what's YOUR future plans?
F= i will continue computing
until it get's boring.
H= who is your best PALS on
the scene?
F= the lighters...
H= who is THE BEST CODER?
F= i don't really know, but i
like KJER's mathematics
calculations.
H= THE BEST GRAPHIXER?
F= well i don't know really,
but i think it's the guys who
besides drawing logos and
fonts makes ALL KINDS of
pictures like: girls, land-
scape etc.
H= and THE BEST MUSICAN?
F= well, i think it's
MANIACS OF NOISE.
H= how many HOURS a DAY do you
spend computing?
F= i don't compute that much.
some hours in the weekends
and when i don't have some-
thing to do.
H= what do you think about the
scene novadays?
F= i think it's a petty that
some GOOD guys leaves for the
AMIGA. and i think it's goin
forwand but VERY SLOW!
H= what do you think about
cracking?
F= i think it's boring. i will
not start to crack myself
but if someone didn't do it
you couldn't get games,
'cause who want's to buy a
game for 150 SKR.
H= that's ofcoz'. well, what do
you think about the LAMIGA?
F= i don't gonna buy one, 'cause
i don't have the strength to
learn how the machine works
as i did with the C64!
H= aren't LIGHT gonna do a MAG?
F= when JEDI was a member of our
group, we thought about it
but when he LEFT due to some
problems we haven't plan
anything.
H= in YOUR OWN oppinion, wich is
the BEST DISC-MAGAZINE?
F= i don't really know. i think
it's SEX'N'CRIME, but i don't
like their DEMOGROUP list.
and i also think that there's
too many mags right now.
H= what about HOTSHOT then?
F= i think the scrollers in the
intro is abit strange but the
REST IS OK.
H= who is the BIGGEST asshole?
F= i don't know because i don't
know one.
H= please describe A LAMER?
F= it's a guy who think he
can code.
H= now some questions BESIDE
THE COMPUTER. what are you
doin' on your sparetime?
F= looking at vi---SPA---ISSUE 2
my friends.
H= do you have a GIRLFRIEND?
F= NO...
H= what is your FAVOURITE:
FOOD = spagetti
MOVIE = don't know.
COUNTRY = some sunny place
MAGAZINE = larsson
GAME = last ninja
MUSIC = nothin' special.
SPORT = ishockey
ANIMAL = nothin' special.
H= what makes you HAPPY/ANGRY?
F= the thing that makes me ANGRY
is when the demolists is
SO FUCKED UP i can't belive
it myself! and the thing that
makes me HAPPY is when people
likes what you do, and when
your high voted on the lists!
H= do you got any ENEMIES?
F= no, i try to avoid to gjt
ones...
H= and now as the final and the
most used question. what
should you bring to a desert

a_GIRL and some FOOD.

CORRUPTION/ACTUAL TRADING G.
______________________________
first of all you can see a quite
cool intro coded by spc with zak
by maniacs of noise and some
nice graphics by some dude!
(not mentioned!)
well, the mag haves a quite cool
layout! some new ideas indeed!
the things you can edit is:
EDITORIAL, NEWS & RUMOURS,
CHARTS, INTERVIEW, REPORTS, SEX-
STORY, WANTED and REACTIONS.
the sadest thing is the SEX-
STORY. i think you guys should
find something else to write!!
the storys are NOT funny to
read, and they are nothing of
interest... exept the sex-story
the mag is worth voting on
(and so i did!).
WELL, GOOD WORK DUDES!
ratings: 79 percent out of 100
MIRAGE/UNION
______________
another one of 'these' mags. i
say: poor layout with a cool
logo! you choose between:
NEWS & RUMOURS, INTERVIEW,
CHARTS, ADRESSES, EDITORIAL,
REACTIONS, GAME REVIEWS and
LAST MINUTE. these thing are
qiute good... when you have
choosen the thing you wanted
it will load a new screen.
it looks COOL!!
anyway, this isn't my favourite
magazine, but it's cool to read!
ratings: 62 percent out of 100
SEX'N'CRIME/AMOK CODING DEP.
______________________________
well what can u say?
this magazine is absolutley the
BEST one!
first there's a cool intro coded
by CHRIS with graphics by SCRAP,
and music by DEEK.
when you edit the mag, you'll
a brilliant layout with a cool
logo by HEIN DESIGN/DIART and
music by JESPER OLSEN/AMOK.
you can edit the helpscreen by
pressing 'H'. in there you can
find some very useful things.
1. enter the mailbox
2. printer menu
3. sequence hunter
(searches for a word.)
4. fullscreens scroller
the only thing i can complain on
is: if you press 1-0 and keeps

t h e B E S T !
ratings: 96 percent out of 100
ARS PUPLICA/CROSS

on each thing! this magazine is
among the BEST!
ratings: 84 percent out of 100
LETHAL NEWS/BONZAI

GAME REVIEWS
________________________________
well, we all know that in the
BEGINNING of this year there
were only released SHIT-GAMES
from the SOFTWARE COMPANIES!
i also thought that the ruling
C-64 was going to get a BITTER
DEATH... but then i was WRONG,
and i'm sure i was not the
only one either... it really
seems like the software
companies have got their ASS
IN SPEED, finally!
so, this time i'm really PROUD
of PRESENTING some REVIEWS on
some very POPULAR GAMES...
HERE WE GO...
--------------------------------
1. HAMMERFIST
well, i've always meant that
the 'LAST NINJA 2' is the best
game ever made on the C-64,
but yesterday i and my friend
( scorpie of hoaxers ) decided
to PLAY this game. after i had
played some minutes i became
so FUCKING IMPRESSED, and the
game is the BEST GAME i've EVER
played!!!! NO DOUBT!!!!
the graphic and playability
is the BEST i've ever seen on
a game, and the music is very
GOOD aswell. the point in the
game is to DESTROY the SECURITY
system at the different STAGES,
and at the last stage you have
to destroy the big 'BRAIN' who
has made all the WICKEDNESS in
the game... the 'THE END'-
screen is like i've always WAN-
TED a 'the end'-screen TO BE.
the programming is very good
and the game contains a lot of
WELL-MADE SPRITES.
YOU ALL ought to PLAY this
MARVELLOUS GAME!!
GRAPHICS: 100p.
SOUND: 86p.
PLAYABILITY: 92p.
CODE: 95p.
IN ALL: 93P.
THANK to BOD OF I+T for sending
me this GAME.
--------------------------------
2. IMPOSSAMOLE
well, this game i a NICE game
too. the JOYSTICK control is
a little bit BAD some places,
but that DOES NOT really mat-
ter anyway. it was a little
problem to figure out what the
point is in the game, but i
think it is the same as in
HAMMERFIST. the graphic is not
so very IMPRESSING, but i like
the MUSIC! the 'the end' screen
was bad, and the last battle
was an EASY FIGHT... the game
reminds me about giana sisters
and the cool game called rick
dangerous, and it's PRETTY
FUNNY!
GRAPHICS: 58p.
SOUND: 82p.
PLAYABILITY: 56p.
CODE: 45p.
IN ALL: 60P.
THANK to DAMIEN OF GENESIS P.
for sending me this GAME.
--------------------------------
3. OPERATION THUNDERBOLT
this game reminds me about OPE-
RATION WOLF!! the graphic is
not to boast about, but the
CODE is NOT so very BAD. the
playability is MISERABLE!!
anyway the game is WORTH to
PLAY... the point is to KILL
as many MEN as possible ( i
think! ) !! DON'T buy it...
GRAPHICS: 35p.
SOUND: 52p.
PLAYABILITY: 31p.
CODE: 58p.
IN ALL: 44P.
THANK to ANTITRACK OF COSMOS
for sending me this GAME.
--------------------------------
4. HOTROD
this game is a pretty GOOD one.
the graphical INTRODUCTION is
very COOL, and also with DIGI-
TIZED music! the game has got
a nice playability and graphic
aswell.
the point in this game is to
WIN the race ( oh?! ), and you
are able to BUY things which
IMPROVE the car and make it
better! when i played the game
i had some problems in the
beginning, but after some hard
PRACTICE i finally became a
GOOD DRIVER!! this game is
worth its PRICE!!
GRAPHICS: 77p.
SOUND: 75p.
PLAYABILITY: 60p.
CODE: 56p.
IN ALL: 67P.
THANK to BOD OF I+T for sending
me this GAME.
--------------------------------
5. DANDARE III
dandare is a very COOL game!
and i really think this game is
the COOLEST of the three
dandare games which have been
RELEASED. i'm sure i'm not the
only one eiter...
the graphic is very good, so
is the gameplay aswell!!
the sound is also pretty good.
i had not so very much time
to play this game, but my first
IMPRESSION was that this game
is WORTH its PRICE!! try it!!
GRAPHICS: 91p.
SOUND: 78p.
PLAYABILITY: 83p.
CODE: 65p.
IN ALL: 79P.
THANK to DAMIEN OF GENESIS P.
for sending me this GAME.
--------------------------------
6. SONIC BOOM
eh... well... this game is PURE
CRAP!!!! the graphic is bad,
the sound is bad and the play-
ability was bad!
personally i prefer BLUEMAX
instead of this game.
GRAPHICS: 32p.
SOUND: 39p.
PLAYABILITY: 38p.
CODE: 56p.
IN ALL: 41P.
THANK to CURSE OF ATG for send-
ing me this GAME.
--------------------------------
well, thats all folks! i hope
you think i've been FAIR in the
EVALUATING of those GAMES.
personally i think i've been
MORE than FAIR!! if you DON'T
