ALPHA FLIGHT declared at an early stage<br />
that summer was going to be a slow peri-<br />
od for them. Many of the members were<br />
exhausted and they wanted to enjoy the<br />
season the best they could. Co-leader<br />
STYX was seen on the American boards on<br />
a few occassions, but also the always<br />
travelling CHOITARE broke the silence.<br />
MARC decided to leave for vacation after<br />
finishing the last pieces of work for<br />
RELAX. RELAX was a juicy edition of text<br />
and much awaited after the long delay.<br />
ALPHA FLIGHT are most likely gathering<br />
up dynamite for the new season.<br />

ALPHA FLIGHT RELEASE MAGICAL FORMULA<br />
ALPHA FLIGHT RELEASE MAGICAL FORMULA<br />
________________________________________<br />
MAGICAL FORMULA was originally designed<br />
by NIKAJ EIJK, artist behind LEMMINGS on<br />
the Commodore 64. The game was supposed<br />
to appear under CHERRY SOFTWARE but the<br />
developers and the company decided to<br />
cancel the project as CHERRY SOFTWARE<br />
was taking a pause in production. The<br />
game later appeared under the MAGNA<br />
MEDIA-flag and was a big surprise as<br />
LAXITY firstreleased it to the American<br />
boards. ALPHA FLIGHT showed up with a<br />
1OO%-version just a while later and<br />
also firstreleased it on the net, unlike<br />
LAXITY. MAGICAL FORMULA was the group's<br />
only contribution to the waresflow dur-<br />
ing summer 1997, and a good one too.<br />

AGGRESSIVE GERMAN CONTINUES<br />
________________________________________<br />
As covered in both RELAX and PROPAGANDA,<br />
NED has continued his aggressive appro-<br />
ach on the Swedish board ANTIDOTE. NED<br />
suggested that NEWSCOPY's mother had<br />
died and he was buying cards from the<br />
insurance-money rolling in. F4CG stated<br />
that it was a shame NED didn't die in<br />
the carcrash he was involved in, and<br />
even though there was a great sense of<br />
irony in it, F4CG admitted the comment<br />
was a bit over the edge on the American<br />
boards. RELAX decided to use the happ-<br />
ening as a debate in the editorial,<br />
painting out F4CG as bad boys. To the<br />
story is that NEWSCOPY's mother current-<br />
ly is suffering from cancer and with<br />
<br />
that in mind, NED'S approach would be<br />
just as much over the edge as F4CG'S.<br />
<br />
"NEWSCOPY, PLEASE VANISH FROM THE SCENE.<br />
PLEASE STOP YOUR LAME MAG. NOBODY LIKES<br />
IT ANYWAY.", NED continued to debate.<br />
<br />
"NED IS JUST SOME GEEK WHO IS STILL<br />
TRYING TO GAIN RESPECT BY ATTACKING<br />
RESPECTED GROUPS AND PEOPLE", NIGHT-<br />
SHADE/SCS*TRC commented a few hours<br />
later on the same board.<br />

CHROMANCE have definately worked their<br />
way up from being one of the most silent<br />
groups to an effecitve marketing-unit.<br />
Their steady launch of CHROMANCE-UPDATE<br />
files states a solid message - CHROMANCE<br />
want to be heard. Summer was however<br />
fairly silent. MR.WAX took a few weeks<br />
of from his daily cruise on the American<br />
boards and so did ROUGH, the long gone<br />
veteran who always seems to find his way<br />
back to the scene one way or another.<br />
Autumn will be very intense according to<br />
sources, and from what PROPAGANDA has<br />
heard we may even see an English version<br />
of the much acclaimed game NEWCOMER.<br />

CHROMANCE may have gained a new fixer<br />
in SKID ROW, but during summer they also<br />
lost two. FUNGUS, Seattlebased addict<br />
joined up with F4CG while MIDFIT entered<br />
LEGEND on their present reuniontour.<br />
<br />
MIDFIT was originally MR.JONES from<br />
VISION but changed his handle as he<br />
decided to come back to the scene. It<br />
is yet unclear whether LEGEND will be<br />
releasing anything, but the recruitment<br />
of a fixer gives reason to speculate.<br />

<br />
F4CG has been very active during the<br />
entire summerseason. Relations with<br />
ALPHA FLIGHT and HITMEN have been rather<br />
frozen but throughout both July and<br />
August the group saw to it to release<br />
a steady amount of wares. WALKER, NEWS-<br />
COPY and MAJA are freuent callers to<br />
the states while SKINHEAD calls as often<br />
as time lets him. SOLAR is today only<br />
taking part of the C64-operations thro-<br />
ugh the F4CG-mailinglist and focuses<br />
mainly on the PC-division of the group.<br />
RUNDES LEDER, ICE GUYS, PLASM, MR.ANT<br />
and other titles were much discussed<br />
as they appeared across the globe.<br />

POOR CRACK FROM THE FAMILY<br />

________________________________________<br />
One of the biggest titles to appear this<br />
year was without doubt ICE GUYS. ONSL-<br />
AUGHT sent the message and released the<br />
preview while F4CG quickly released a<br />
rather poor crack of the splendid game.<br />
TRC*SCS followed up with a great version<br />
from BURGLAR, +6-trained and still PAL,<br />
since none of the groups were able to<br />
fix the game. DMC, new recruitment to<br />
F4CG from the old GENETIX quickly did<br />
a splendid IFFL-version that is current-<br />
ly being fixed.<br />
<br />

CHAOS AT F CG CAMP<br />
CHAOS AT F4CG-CAMP<br />
________________________________________<br />
While the ICE GUYS-conversations were<br />
primetime entertainment on the American<br />
boards, another story swept as a shock<br />
across the scene. FUNGUS, DMC and SNEA-<br />
PER had left F4CG early morning, August<br />
2Oth. The news were cabled across the<br />
IRC and rumours were quicker to appear<br />
than the proper explaination. Word had<br />
it the trio would now be joining CHROM-<br />
<br />
ANCE, TRC*SCS or even ALPHA FLIGHT. It<br />
was clear there was a sense of chaos at<br />
F4CG, and in it's true meaning that is<br />
just what it was.<br />
<br />
"IT IS NO SECRET DMC AND SKINHEAD NEVER<br />
REALLY HAD MUCH FOR EACH OTHER. THEY'RE<br />
LIKE TWO BROTHERS, ALWAYS NAGGING AND<br />
ALWAYS FIGHTING. WHEN HITMEN LATER<br />
APPEARED WITH SOME GAMES THAT DMC'S HAD<br />
BEEN WORKING HARD ON, AND THAT WERE ORI-<br />
GINALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE THE<br />
F4CG-SPHERE, DMC IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT IT<br />
WAS SKINHEAD GOING BEHIND HIS BACK DUE<br />
TO A FIGHT THEY HAD. OF COURSE THIS WAS<br />
NOT THE STORY, AS DEFF WAS THE GUY LEA-<br />
VING F4CG FOR HITMEN - WITH A BUNCH OF<br />
UNSOLD GAMES. DMC LEFT QUICKLY AND IT<br />
TRIGGERED THE TWO OTHERS TO FOLLOW AT<br />
ONCE.", says F4CG to PROPAGANDA.<br />
<br />
<br />
DMC, FUNGUS and SNEAPER were convinced<br />
to come back to the family when it be-<br />
came clear what had worked behind the<br />
scenes. The entire matter was solved on<br />
the IRC only 12 hours after the chaos.<br />
DMC and FUNGUS are new to group and come<br />
from different backgrounds. DMC is an<br />
Irish bloke with a past in GENETIX while<br />
FUNGUS just recently left CHROMANCE be-<br />
hind. He is based in Seattle and does<br />
fixing and coding for the group.<br />

Many people are speaking of what board<br />
F4CG will be announcing in the states.<br />
RELAX suggested THE FINAL GENOCIDE was<br />
the most likely system, but this is not<br />
<br />
true. What is true, however, is that<br />
F4CG have finally put their FTP back<br />
up. INTERPARK is now up and running on<br />
BBS.CC.UNIUD.IT and will be worked on<br />
a great deal over the coming weeks.<br />

It has been awfully quiet around HITMEN.<br />
Almost too quiet at times. PEACEMAKER<br />
started making notice somewhere during<br />
the summer and also announced he would<br />
be fixing again. The statement sent a<br />
message that there was something to<br />
expect from HITMEN - again. HITMEN also<br />
declared that they were the first group<br />
ever to have an intro on the much hyped<br />
Playstation-market. A demo will be find-<br />
ing it's way to our screens as they have<br />
decided to participate in the big demo-<br />
compeition in Denmark this christmas.<br />

AVANTGARDE DUO REUNITES IN HITMEN<br />
AVANTGARDE-DUO REUNITES IN HITMEN<br />
________________________________________<br />
Big surprise of the summer was the fact<br />
that DEFF decided to leave F4CG and head<br />
for HITMEN. DEFF has been inactive since<br />
the death of AVANTGARDE, mainly due to<br />
the fact that his girlfriend decided to<br />
give birth to her ex.boyfriend's child.<br />
His job in Berlin did not help either<br />
for that matter. HITMEN announced that<br />
both DEFF and JACK ALIEN were active<br />
again, even though PROPAGANDA would say<br />
it's probably mostly JACK ALIEN who's<br />
active. DEFF has been sitting on a stock<br />
of games since he left the scene behind.<br />
These games are now being cracked and<br />
released by JACK ALIEN. Several of the<br />
games are still unsold and under pro-<br />
<br />
cess of sales by F4CG who have original<br />
hand on some of the titles.<br />
<br />
MUCH DISCUSSION OVER UNSOLD GAME<br />
MUCH DISCUSSION OVER UNSOLD GAME.<br />
________________________________________<br />
PLASM has been a particulary interesting<br />
game to follow. F4CG released the pre-<br />
view a while back and the original was<br />
still being stalled for release as the<br />
game was unsold. HITMEN knew that the<br />
preview was a sign of things to come<br />
and decided to release the game, unsold<br />
and without notice on the American bo-<br />
ards. F4CG were clearly annoyed with the<br />
way things were being handled and pro-<br />
tested loudly on the boards. A while<br />
later they decided to strike back with<br />
a 1OO%-version of the game. It was<br />
clear that the HITMEN-versions hi-score<br />
<br />
saver was a crash and the music was not<br />
fixed. Normally, this is not enough to<br />
request a 1OO%-version but they decided<br />
to release it anyway, even though they<br />
knew it would be giving them minuspoi-<br />
nts.<br />
<br />
"WELL, WE STATED CLEARLY THAT WE DID<br />
NOT DO THE 100%-RELEASE FOR THE POINTS.<br />
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE 100%-VERSION-<br />
DISCUSSION A MILLION TIMES AND IN GEN-<br />
ERAL DISLIKE THE 100%-HYSTERIA. WE DID<br />
THE RELEASE TO PISS HITMEN OFF. JUST<br />
A LITTLE TICKLE UNDER THEIR FEET. AFT-<br />
ER ALL, WE KNOW THAT THE VERSION PEOP-<br />
LE WILL KEEP IS THE F4CG-VERSION, AND<br />
AS AN AMERICAN SAID, IT IS QUITE OB-<br />
VIOUS AMERICANS WOULD PREFER A NORMAL<br />
SONG PLAYING - NO MATTER WHAT THE FIX-<br />
ING RULES ARE. WE KNEW WE WOULD BE<br />
<br />
GETTING MINUSPOINTS FOR THE RELEASE.<br />
SO WHAT?", said F4CG to PROPAGANDA.<br />
<br />
DISCUSSING THE FUTURE<br />
DISCUSSING THE FUTURE<br />
________________________________________<br />
HITMEN and F4CG are now on speaking-<br />
terms again. CURLIN and NEWSCOPY are<br />
discussing the issue whether HITMEN<br />
should release MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, a<br />
game set to be released by CHERRY<br />
SOFTWARE by Christmas this year. If<br />
released before sales, it will again<br />
give light to the discussion on 1OO%-<br />
versions as the sales version features<br />
removed bugs, more car-tracks, new<br />
music and additional graphics. It is<br />
clear that new guidelines and rules<br />
should be set - the 1OO%-debate has<br />
rushed the boards like a hurricane<br />
<br />
all over the year.<br />

THE GERMAN OPERATION GROWS<br />

________________________________________<br />
HITMEN are recruiting people. MAGIC MAN<br />
from the older days was taken in with a<br />
job arranging older CRAZY-members into<br />
the group. WEASEL, also ex-member of<br />
CRAZY teamed up only a few days later.<br />
SMASHER, today F4CG was also asked in<br />
because of his earlier membership in<br />
CRAZY. It appears HITMEN is working hard<br />
on becoming an operation as German as<br />
possible - and they are succeeding. If<br />
the unit can remain active we will pro-<br />
bably be seing one of the stronger gro-<br />
ups by the end of this year. This is<br />
particulary interesting as it has been<br />
almost deadly silent around them the<br />
<br />
first half of the year.<br />
<br />
SLEDGE WILL LEAVE FAIRLIGHT<br />
SLEDGE WILL LEAVE FAIRLIGHT<br />
________________________________________<br />
According to TRANZIIE, their European<br />
sysop SLEDGE will move to a new apart-<br />
ment soon. Of course he will take his<br />
ancient board WAREZ AQUARIUM with him,<br />
but he has finally decided to kick<br />
FAIRLIGHT behind him forever. FAIRLIGHT<br />
has not been much of a group the past<br />
years and even though the leadership<br />
was set in the hands of SLEDGE, support<br />
was terribly weak from the rest of the<br />
group. With SLEDGE gone, it is however<br />
almost certain that we have seen the<br />
last of FAIRLIGHT ever on the Commodore<br />
64 - unless a miracle happens. Or if<br />
BACCHUS decides to turn off the PC.<br />
<br />
WAREZ AQUARIUM will be HITMEN only in<br />
the future. (sorry that you didn't know<br />
yet, Fairlight :) !)<br />

With the comeback of wares HITMEN did<br />
strong impact on the market and clearly<br />
stated that the end of summer is the<br />
beginning of a new era for them. More<br />
games are to come and CUPID is rumoured<br />
to be working on a graphics-collection<br />
called AVANTGARDE and there is even a<br />
chance the group will be doing a PC-<br />
demo for X98. In the meantime, most of<br />
us will be satisfied with a constant<br />
flow of C64-wares.<br />

There are 4 groups that are more active<br />
than the others today - TRC*SCS, F4CG,<br />
CHROMANCE and ONSLAUGHT. PROPAGANDA has<br />
to take off the hat for a second in mere<br />
impression, because no other group has<br />
so many members calling the boards. The<br />
other 3 simply have to sit down and see<br />
the subs flooded with messages from ON-<br />
SLAUGHT. The situation is pleasant for<br />
ONSLAUGHT even though there are constant<br />
quarrels with ALPHA FLIGHT and smaller<br />
things with the people in TRC*SCS. As<br />
long as releases are coming, ONSLAUGHT<br />
is still on the go.<br />

They may have missed the release of the<br />
great ICE GUYS even though they put out<br />
the preview, but THE CASTLE was still<br />
an impressive release in itself. A full-<br />
pricer from 576kbyte, cracked from 6<br />
sides to 2 it was a release that sur-<br />
prised everyone. The game was also one<br />
of the debated ones when it was unclear<br />
on the fix done on the game, and the<br />
fixingrules implemented in various mag-<br />
azines.<br />

SUMMER THE SEASON OF RAGS<br />
SUMMER - THE SEASON OF RAGS<br />
________________________________________<br />
JAZZCAT is quite a controversial figure.<br />
<br />
Most of the summer he has taken part in<br />
rags with several people. MIDFIT and<br />
DODGER (editor of THE CREST) have gotten<br />
a good share of the boot, but most of<br />
the effort has been spent on ALPHA FL-<br />
IGHT. As always the 1OO%-discussion has<br />
been in focus, but also a rather silly<br />
episode appeared on the Swedish ANTI-<br />
DOTE when the debate was whether JAZZ-<br />
CAT ever called THE FORUM or not. Even<br />
MAX called in to support the fact that<br />
JAZZCAT had not been long enough in the<br />
scene. The argument was pretty point-<br />
less as JAZZCAT never claimed to have<br />
been in the scene since dawn of age and<br />
did call THE FORUM during the AVANTGARDE<br />
days. Another rag that began to see<br />
light of day was when WESTBAM first made<br />
appearance on the American boards again.<br />
Although JAZZCAT is an old LEGEND-member<br />
<br />
it was clear the chemistry between the<br />
two was not quite up to it. It is yet<br />
unclear why WESTBAM was eager to settle<br />
any sort of difference, but it may be<br />
the fact that MANIAC, who also made a<br />
comeback to the scene through the LEG-<br />
END-reunion decided to leave and join<br />
ONSLAUGHT. The matter was however later<br />
solved.<br />

________________________________________<br />
VENGEANCE finally made it back to the<br />
scene, even though we at PROPAGANDA feel<br />
it is not with the same spark as before.<br />
VANDALISM 28 was quite a rushed, short<br />
production leaving much room and wish<br />
for the older issues. ONSLAUGHT claim<br />
the mag was just a temporary setback and<br />
<br />
promise that the magazine will be back<br />
in full force by issue 29. Hopefully it<br />
will as VANDALISM has had time to build<br />
up a solid amount of fans and readers<br />
that expect more.<br />

RAMIREZ is unable to call out. MR.BRAIN<br />

continue to release as if nothing. ICE<br />
GUYS full version was a killer while<br />
there were several other fine smaller<br />
titles. Also the group finally launched<br />
the scs-trc.net so all members are<br />
finally on the same domain as is their<br />
ever so popular FTP, DIGITAL DUNGEON.<br />
Apart from that, happenings are quite<br />
rare in the group. ARMAGEDDON are not<br />
in their crosshairs, people remain the<br />
same and the releases keep coming.<br />
<br />

JEROEN TEL EXCLUSIVE IN NEW DEMO<br />
JEROEN TEL EXCLUSIVE IN NEW DEMO<br />

BURGLAR revealed that he is working on<br />
a demo. It is an old-school creation<br />
and features music by nobody else than<br />
JEROEN TEL. BURGLAR hopes to have the<br />
demo ready for release by Christmas.<br />
BURGLAR was a member of the demogroup<br />
PARADIZE before he joined up with SUCC-<br />
ESS so demos are not news to him all<br />
through.<br />

NIGHTSHADE A BIT BORED<br />
NIGHTSHADE A BIT BORED<br />
________________________________________<br />
It appears it is not only CBA who is<br />
bored with the scene. Not long after<br />
CBA left the scene behind NIGHTSHADE<br />
<br />
explained he doesn't quite have the<br />
same joy over the machine. NIGHSTHADE<br />
is bored but says he will be around for<br />
as long as THE DUNGEON is around.<br />
PROPAGANDA hopes that means forever.<br />
A great idea NIGHTSHADE was thinking<br />
of was overheard during X97. A big wish<br />
of his would be gathering up a lot of<br />
the people in various groups and settle<br />
for a journey to a warm place. A vaca-<br />
tion with sceners. Scenetown may not be<br />
that far away after all.<br />
<br />
<br />
X98 is currently on a planning level<br />
but there is nothing sure as of yet,<br />
says BURGLAR to PROPAGANDA<br />
