ROCK'N ROLE/ROLE<br />
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br />
INTRO<br />
same ol' intro that have been<br />
used in all issues of r'n r. on<br />
the upper part of the screen,<br />
there's a role logo which don't<br />
look like its saying ROLE. under<br />
that there's some rock'n role<br />
sprites which waving left/right.<br />
the colours in it SUCKS! ever<br />
heard of nice flashing? right<br />
under that there's two 4 by four<br />
scrollers in different speeds.<br />
ENTERING MAGAZINE<br />
first you see the very big r'n r<br />
logo on the top of the screen,<br />
which in my opinion is UGLY!<br />
under that a quite nice square!<br />
in that square you can find the<br />
different chapters to load.<br />
there's 14 of them. in the upper<br />
and down border there is this<br />
1-14 chapter chooser. if you<br />
move joystick up/down left/right<br />
you'll be able to choose chapter<br />
to read. when loading a chapter,<br />
it starts to load. it loads for<br />
a very long time. i wonder if<br />
something was wrong with my copy<br />
of r'n r. but then a 'PART' came<br />
up on the screen. on the upper<br />
part of the screen, there's a<br />
rock'n role logo and on the low<br />
part of the screen, there's a<br />
logo waving, which says the name<br />
on the chapter you've choosen.<br />
this looks like a demopart! it's<br />
not nescessary to have this one<br />
in a magazine. REMOVE IT! then<br />
you're entering the reading<br />
screen. there's a logo showing.<br />
the text area is about 17 tec's<br />
and that's good. in the upborder<br />
there's some sprites which shows<br />
you which page you're reading.<br />
in the downborder there's spr's<br />
which shows you the direction<br />
you've choosen. the shifting<br />
between two pages takes alot of<br />
time. you nearly have time to go<br />
to the toilet. the text colours<br />
suck! some times brown, cyan,<br />
yellow and on.. behind the text,<br />
there's this FLASH which don't<br />
looks nice behind the different<br />
colour-texts. yuch! you can also<br />
choose between two tunes, one by<br />
vulgarik and one by skysurfer.<br />
you can also choose which page<br />
you want to go to. for an ex, if<br />
you're at page one you can go<br />
directly to page 9 or what ever.<br />
there's also a print routine.<br />
that's good, but if you like me,<br />
and dont have a printer which is<br />
not installated and press space<br />
the whole shit fucks up! i mean<br />
the music sounds strange and the<br />
text+logo is not what it should<br />
be in normal case.<br />
well i'll tell you what i like<br />
and didn't like about this mag.<br />
DIDN'T LIKE: to little reviews,<br />
horoscope? what for?, reactions<br />
from your own members and those<br />
lame fucking tunes!<br />
LIKE: many optitions, enuff news<br />
and nice graphics on the square.<br />

BILD ZEITUNG/X RAY<br />
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br />
INTRO<br />
on the upper part of the screen<br />
there's x-ray hires logo. quite<br />
nice indeed. under that there's<br />
a text line which introduces you<br />
to this issue. under that you<br />
see this BILD ZEITUNG logo, and<br />
on that a sprite scroller waving<br />
around. the sinus curve looks<br />
abit strange.<br />
ENTERING MAGAZINE<br />
high up on the screen there's<br />
the same bild zeitung logo which<br />
you also could see in the intro.<br />
under that a 1x1 scroll(yuch).<br />
usually i don't like scrollers<br />
in mags, but this one is ok !<br />
under that there's two gfx-bars<br />
and between them there's the<br />
chapters you can choose. this<br />
menu is easy make but it's damn<br />
cool! the only thing is that<br />
the graphic-bars don't reach the<br />
whole way out of the sideborder.<br />
but i suppose you didn't see it<br />
like that on your tv when you<br />
coded this. when choosing a page<br />
it starts to load. after a while<br />
there comes a new screen. you<br />
move the joystick left/right to<br />
flip pages. the routine which<br />
changes the pages bugs. please<br />
FIX THAT! in the upper border<br />
you'll find some small BZ spr's<br />
and in the down border you'll<br />
find some sprites which tells u<br />
which page you're reading. i<br />
think it's nice with all those<br />
different fonts you're using.<br />
I LIKED: the interview, even if<br />
you didn't interview a hacker.<br />
tanja &amp; andrea seems to be two<br />
nice girls, the news and did you<br />
know chapter was cool too.<br />
I DISALIKED: some of the charts<br />
and well, nothing! i like this<br />
magazine alot! GOOD work guys!<br />

FRONTPAGE/THE RULING COMPANY<br />
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br />
WELCOME INTRO<br />
a 'SANTA DEADHEAD' is placed in<br />
the middle of the screen. after<br />
a while his eyes starts to roll<br />
around. he disappears, and some<br />
text comes up, where TRC wishes<br />
you welcome to the special issue<br />
too bad the tune didn't played<br />
longer. it sounded good!<br />
ENTERING MAGAZINE<br />
well i sure like this graphics!<br />
on the top of the screen you'll<br />
see a frontpage logo. in the<br />
middle of the screen you can see<br />
the text you're gonna read. and<br />
under that you see a trc logo,<br />
which been inproved with some<br />
christmas trees &amp; stuff. well,<br />
i suppose this mag, from the<br />
beginning, was made just for you<br />
to know every new things about<br />
TRC. you find some christmas<br />
hello's, reviews &amp; news aswell.<br />
there's a lack of text in this<br />
magazine. it haves a nice outfit<br />
and if AJ writes more text this<br />
magazine will be much cooler!<br />

INRADICABLE/DISONER<br />
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br />
INTRO<br />
first we have the introduction.<br />
some text comes, introducing the<br />
demo. some ugly DSN shows up on<br />
a 2x2 scroller. this is only sum<br />
shit which introduces the whole<br />
demonstration.<br />
1ST PART<br />
on the top you'll see 1x1 scroll<br />
with a ugly font. under that<br />
some rasters(anno 1987). right<br />
under that a disoner logo. under<br />
that you'll see these dsn spr's<br />
again. on the bottom of the<br />
screen there's a 2x2 scroller.<br />
2ND PART<br />
on the top you'll see a disoner<br />
logo. the logo also mirrors in<br />
the 'water' just under the logo.<br />
a SHARK and a fish are wondering<br />
around over that. under that<br />
there's three acid sprites which<br />
is some kind of analysers. some<br />
lines under that a 2x2 scroller<br />
and at the bottom, some rasters!<br />
3RD PART<br />
on the very top you'll find a<br />
1x1 scroller. under that there's<br />
a 16 spr's multiplexer, which<br />
sure looks like zodiacs old one.<br />
under that this disoner logo.<br />
in the down border there's some<br />
raster analysers which, i think,<br />
is the best thing in this demo!<br />
4TH PART<br />
on the top of the screen you'll<br />
see disoner's first dycper.<br />
CONGRATULATIONS! really. under<br />
that a 2x1 char-text-changer<br />
which changes too fast to read.<br />
many lines under a 1x1, and a<br />
disoner logo showing.<br />
5TH PART<br />
on the top there's a disoner<br />
logo on a fld-wave. some spr's<br />
are dancing around on that. the<br />
addy's is showed under that.<br />
i suppose(i know!) that this is<br />
the contact part! wasn't that<br />
modern 2,3 or 4 years ago?<br />
THE END<br />
on the top you see a 'the end'<br />
logo. lines under you'll find a<br />
2x2 scroller. on the bottom, a<br />
inradicable logo is showing it's<br />
pride(?). in the down border and<br />
a part over the inrad logo a<br />
sprite scroller is installated.<br />
well, this demo was only ment to<br />
be for fun. this demo looks like<br />
those which was made some years<br />
ago. lousy graphics.<br />

GRAPHIXMANIA II/MODERN ARTS<br />
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br />
INTRO<br />
first of all there's the usual<br />
introducing text. after a while<br />
a nice, nice lion shows up! this<br />
is really COOL! i love it! nice<br />
growl-sampling.<br />
2ND PART<br />
on the top, a new text routine<br />
is used. cool! under that you<br />
see three men and one woman<br />
jumping around. this is really<br />
cool. over them some animating<br />
acid guys.<br />
3RD PART<br />
on the down part you see a not<br />
so cool grafixmania logo. on the<br />
left &amp; upper side of it, there's<br />
some mda sprites. after a while<br />
the mda sprites starts to jump<br />
on the logo. when jumping on it,<br />
the logo 'SQUEEZES' together. it<br />
looks soo nice. on the upperpart<br />
there comes a circulating scroll<br />
which grows from nothing to a<br />
big scroll.<br />
4TH PART<br />
this part starts up with some<br />
mda sprites in the upper border.<br />
one on each side. in the middle<br />
border there's a face on a guy.<br />
in the middle there's a 'SOUND<br />
MANIA' logo. on the bottom you<br />
see a 1x1 and a 2x2 rotating<br />
around it's own axis. this part<br />
doesn't belong to the rest!<br />
5TH PART<br />
wow! cool bobs! anyway.. on the<br />
top(border+screen) there's a<br />
'TWEAK IT' logo. in the middle<br />
you see this nice bobs. behind<br />
the bobs there's a huge scroll.<br />
nice but the B &amp; R look strange.<br />
on the down part there's some<br />
values that you can change with<br />
your joystick. you can change<br />
everything!<br />
THE END<br />
oh yes! nice girls! real nice<br />
indeed. when seeing these girls<br />
it reminds me of some kind of<br />
art. and on the left side some<br />
faces is showing. it's MAT, TIM<br />
and JOE of modern arts. they're<br />
talking to each other. i simply<br />
adore those animations. it's a<br />
nice and orginal idea. maybe JOE<br />
is a bit hard on MAT and TIM?<br />

ARMAGEDDON/X FACTOR<br />
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br />
INTRO<br />
very nice indeed. lotsa moving<br />
and lotsa colours. in the upper<br />
border you see some swinging<br />
'PARDEY' sprites. under that you<br />
see a x-factor logo which waves<br />
in the side border. under that<br />
a 'box' which the name is dyppin<br />
around. on the left side of it,<br />
there's some 'TOTAL' sprites, &amp;<br />
on the right 'CHAOS'. a big<br />
scroller is placed under that.<br />
in the down border you see the<br />
complete greetings list.<br />
1ST PART<br />
first there comes a 1x1 scroll<br />
which shows on the top of the<br />
screen. directly under you see<br />
a plotter. under that a water-<br />
fall picture. after a while a<br />
new zoom routine shows up. nice!<br />
2ND PART<br />
ok. a x-factor logo on the top.<br />
it sure reach the side border.<br />
under that you see this picture<br />
which takes all the rest space<br />
on the screen. over the x-f logo<br />
there comes a DYCP. not these<br />
usual dycps. this is cool!<br />
nice curves!<br />
3RD PART<br />
first you aee 180 'bobs'. x-f<br />
have made many different bob<br />
routines. but what follows is<br />
maybe their BEST! a new screen<br />
comes up. some 'X' and 'F' spr's<br />
is placed on the screen. around<br />
these a 'bob scroller' comes up.<br />
max 192 of them! cool indeed!<br />
4TH PART<br />
at first there's a XF logo on<br />
the bottom of the screen with<br />
some nice star-sprites behind.<br />
then a bob scroller comes. this<br />
is sooo cool! many cool curves!<br />
my favourite is the 3D! under<br />
the logo you can see the amount<br />
of bobs present. also a little<br />
scroller. ofcoz' this is NOT<br />
real bobs (if you didn't know).<br />
THE END<br />
a XF sign comes first. then it<br />
blows up like some kind of fire-<br />
works. then a usual text routine<br />
comes. behind that, there's a<br />
nice star field. GOOD WORK!<br />
