Skyhigh 16 Spread da word
I'm pissed.....
Somehow I deleted this chapter so I had to do it all over again.. Naturally I hadn't any back-up, nor did I have the work-files. So what you get this time, might be a bit vague. The problem is that I have to finish it tonight so it can be sent to my spreaders. So once again; sorry for this small 'Spread the word'. Ok - let's get bizzie..
The first one is from my good Swedish buddy : Zyron. He's looking for some old contacts, from whom he haven't heard for quite a while!
Hello, here's Zyron with a note concerning an impor- tant matter for me; It seems like I've lost contact with some of my swap- ping friends! If you swap with one or more of the peo ple listed below,or if you are one or more of them(?), please either tell him/them to recontact me or re- contact me!
Some of them might have left the scene, changed the handle/group or just dropped me without telling me.
Anyway, read the list.

Sorry, for the lame lay-out, but as said : I haven't got time to do it prober once more...
Ok, the next one is from a co-editor of this magazine. He has got an explanation to the masses
Howdy, folx, this is Christian speaking...
What's all this fuzz about, you may ask? Well, I just want to stress this way,that I just recently changed my handle! I will try to answer all occuring questions in advance hereby, and I ask you to spread this piece of news for me... Now, you may ask, what was your old handle then? I used to be known (?) as
Sinister/Extacy/Arcoss/Entropy
But from this day on, I will apply to you to refer to the handle...
CUPID
... if you want to talk about me...
A lot of people asked me,why I change my handle now, now that I gain more and more attention in the public.
The reason is simple: I'm sick of the handle sinister! I took it a long time ago (about 3 years) when I really was hooked on death metal and the whole mean atti- tude that go hand in hand with that...
This changed somehow, that's why I felt uncomfor- table, being known as sinister,as that's not my atti- tude anylonger...
With the release of RED ALERT and some pictures for the last parties, I got one step ahead in my graphi- cian-career and I think, that is a good reason for burying the past...
So, all the people, that were kind enough to vote for me, and for all you mag-editors, the main algorithm is this simple...
Sinister = Cupid
Thanx for your attention.. Chris
-For gfx orders or your contributions
-For skyhigh extacy land...

An old group are trying to make a comeback. Best of luck to you.
Hello, again!!!!
Megastyle Productions (formerly Megastyle Inc.) are now back after a loooooong break......
We thought that the C64 had died, so we stopped all our activity in 1993.But when we found out that there still were activity, we decided to make a comeback!
We are still in the start-phase, with only one active member, but we have some more potential members.
Here is the memberstatus at the moment:
SCROLL Main coder, at the moment the only active member. Also does some swapping and music.
SPACE-ROY One of the main musicians in Jolly Poppers, the mu- sic division of Megastyle. He doesn't own a C64 right now, but is trying to get one.
RAGE Another musician in Jolly Poppers, currently he's in the army (won't come back until August), but he has at least a complete C64 equipment.
BROOZ One of our main graphic artists, he is studying in Bergen and he does not own a disk drive.
SPARKLER He was the main graphic artist on the C64, now he has stopped all C64 activity and is working in a com pany producing console games (Funcom Productions)
CYCLEBURNER I haven't heard from him a since a long time ago, he was one of the main coders, with sampled musics He is studying in Oslo and he owns a very complete C128 equipment.
As I am the only active member now, a pretty heavy burden lies on by shoulders as I must keep on swap- ping while coding our next demo. But since I am un- employed, I do have the time for this...
To make sure you get all the forthcoming MSP demos and stuff, contact:
Scroll/Megastyle Prod.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Or call (from Norway): XXXXXXXXXX (Ask for Ruben)
Look out for the next MSP demo: "Kalle Kloakk and his struggle reaching the toilet paper without other people looking at his knuckles of feet" soon to appear (It's out - and reviewed in this issue - ed!)!

Following one, is from down under. An ozzy scener are missing some contacts. Maybe you're one of them!

Neoplasia - Never heard about them. Well better take a closer look at the next one then..
HOSSA TO ALL SCENERS
Scare of Neoplasia is on your screen with a public note ! As there are some changes which I won't tell all my contax and the rest of the scene separately I made this note... but let's go on.....
1.The groups PLEBS, BLOWOUT and MEGADROME decided to work in a co-op. nobody really liked the former group names and so we decided to rename into NEOPLASIA. As there's a group with the same name on the amiga I phoned their leader CYBORG and ask- ed him to think about an official c64-section. He's still thinking, hehe... Let's wait & see... Some words to amiga's Neoplasia: they are approxi- mately 30 members. It's a real multi-national group as they've members from greece up to sweden. The birthday of Neoplasia on 64 was the 01-12-94. The members are (more or less) satisfied with this name. By the way, here's our actual memberstatus:
RAIGO - code, music, gfx S_6eE_6eC_6e - code, gfx PANIC KID - gfx, covers FINDI - code, gfx, samples HACKER - covers ERNIE - organizer, gfx LUPO - code SCARE - organizer, code, gfx
2.Last month I changed my handle two times. First I called myself "Yoke". Later on it was "Slaine". But my contacts didn't like my new handles (special hellos to Spectator and Fanta !). and so I decided to use my old handle "Scare". But I think, a handle is not that important...
3.We of neoplasia are no real "demogroup". So don't expect mega-demos from us !!! We concentrate on making games because that's more useful for the scene and helps the c64 to stay alive a bit longer... But it's possible that you see a one-filer from us now and then. Look on the "game on" 01/95 (I think).
Okay, I think I told you the mainfacts. I hope I didn't forget something...
The last one for this time is from no-one else than : me..... he-he!
I, Biz Kid, haven't seen or heard much from some of contacts lately. So I will once again try to get in touch with 'em via Spread da word.. If you are on the following list, then please give me a lifesign, would you..
