  news & rumours
  --------------

  * after jack daniels and 3dk of
    genesis released the latest issue
    of corruption, they have been
    kicked out by omg on account of
    disagreements concerning the mag's
    contents.
    omg wanted to write a lot more than
    he actually did, for example the
    news section. omg wanted both
    main-editors to wait for an
    'anti-mamba-intro' which was just
    coded by ses. that, and a lot of


  other disagreements have lead to
  omg's decision to kick both editors
  out of genesis.

  omg threatened the editors (jack
  daniels and 3dk) not to use the new
  menu coded by ses, otherwise they
  would get a 'a lot of trouble'.

  actually omg plans to release this
  magazine by himself, just changing
  the name. (propaganda (?))

  tyger, wildstyle (x-trsi) and an
  americano called firefox are gp's
  latest members.

    the codemonster and the irish
    member 'the punisher' (both in
    genesis) quit the scene.

  * roy of victims got caught by the
    german police/post for blue-boxing
    in germany. they visited him around
    01 am and took all his computer-
    equipment. however, he's already
    calling out again.

    the enigma headquarters are the
    the forum and gee-spot, both being

    though.
    shock is announced to be released
    by the 15th of every month,
    illusionist's board 'once upon a
    time' is the shock hq right now,
    actually it was i+t hq too, after

    talent, is back in that group.
    actually, he has never really been
    kicked out.

  * atc's latest member is the guardian
    who has been the fixer for destiny
    quite a while ago. tallman is no
    atc member anymore, sidearms of
    atc announced to resume releasing
    his disc-magazine 'elite euphoria'
    again, after a break of several
    month. actually it is a magazine
    in seq-file format and covers
    mainly the american scene, at least
    it did some months ago.

  * the last dragon (x-fbr, rad, htl,
    sphinx) re-entered the c64-scene,
    the group of his choice is empire.

    for some time, but thinks about
    coming back again.

    abigail, suffer from a lack of time

  * jihad left joy division and re-
    joined his former group action.

  * nec announced to quit with their
    next decent release, reason for
    that move is the lack of new games
    on the american market: the efforts
    to get the new games doesn't
    correspond to the result, that is,
    only a very few games being re-
    leased. (check the release-charts
    in the first column for details.)

    to arrange a demo-competition;
