Splash 15 ch23 Old Days

            OLD DAYS

   once again it's time to have a
look at the old days of the scene.
good readers will remember,in this
chapter,you can find the news and
charts from any old mag to have an
opinion about those days.because
of time problems,i couldn't prepa-
re this chapter in the previous
issue,but here you have it now,try
to enjoy it a bit...

   okey,for this issue,i got my
hands on a very old issue of the
famous sex n' crime,the third one
actually...
   i think there are a lot of new-
comers that were not in the scene
at times that sex n' crime was be-
ing released,but olders will never
forget that days,the wars between
sex n' crime and exory,mamba,+ lot
more.also,the relations between da
legal label 'amok',the group rele-
asing sex n' crime,and genesis pr-
oject;as well as the uncertainity
of the editor OMG...he was claimed
to be antichrist/genesis as well
although both guys(!) always refu-
sed.and a new info from an old mag
took place in this chapter in the
13th chapter that there were real-
ly two seperate persons,but omg
used the handle antichrist from
time to time.
   anyhow,sex n' crime was the 1st
mag released ever on the disk.it
was a one part mag that the examp-
les now have extincted.even some
of our chapters are longer than 1
sex n' crime...mags surely changed
a lot since than.also sex n' crime
has been the most subjective mag
ever as the editor used it as a
propaganda factor for genesis pro-
ject and a gun to attact whoever
he wanted...
   enough crap...this third issue
is quite old and it belongs to 89
as much as i can guess.by the way,
i was not in  the scene  on  these
days,and i don't know anything  a-
bout most of the groups and people
so i won't be giving much info...
and if i make any mistakes,please
be kind to inform me...

   okey,the following texts are
fully copied from the news and ru-
mours section of sex n' crime 3:

   -moskwa tv left science 451 and
joined beasitie boys.some people
who told me they were members of
moskwa tv now formed a group call-
ed zylon rcok.rught now viper  de-
signs are coding some cool intro
for them.

   -horizon left the federation a-
gainst ikari as excell of ikari a-
pologized for his behaviour and
left the c-64 scene.

   -paramount 'imported' the 1-2
year old program instant music,and
even put an import intro in front
altough they imported it through
mail.

   -abnormal and light of agile
ripped some dycp routines from  i-
mage.abnormal already apologized
for that.but the reaction of light
is yet unknown.

   -the mag pirates is dead as th-
re are some problems between the
main editor jumpie and the printer
of the best company.

   -the last heroes ripped a part
feom the genesis project+fire eag-
les demo 'cool emotion',and used
it tas their intro.of course they
now pretend to be germany's number
one.(like everyone does neverdays)

   -bros seems to be back on the
c-64.they didn't release anythinh
new special yet,but let's wait and
see...
    somehow,there also seems to be
a new group of ex-brosers named
vrigin.(ed:no typing mistake)

   -cosmos splitted up.some of th-
em are in x-large together with
twg(usa)

   -crazy are very sorry about th-
eir very lame version of wec le
mans but they think that they are
number one in switzerland.(puh! a-
gain that no.1 crap talk)

   -nfc splitted up,the cool  mem-
bers(jumpie,solar,abigwil,the wim)
joined f4cg and the lamers(snoopy,
move etc.are not known.

   -after their party disaster,(a-
bout police) the maniacs were int-
erviewed by a german radio show!

   -the cool dudes from action are
in war with the lamers from array
and beastie boys.as they say,array
'freezed' a lot of games.i think
that's way all array cracks are so
lame.anyway,some left array and
joined 7-11.

   -the problems between mca of
paramount and scrap of contex are
now solved.not scrap called him
the paralame but frank of 7-11 did
actually.anyway,frank was kicked
from 7-11 so there are no problems
any more.

   -rantanplan of crypt just told
me five minutes ago that the co-op
between crypt and x-rated has  sp-
litted as even the guys in crypt
know that x-rated are lame.
    the guy who is responsible for
magic news is now a member of cry-
pt.
    they also wanted to make a cl-
eaning in crypt so kicked some of
their lamer members.

   -somehow x-ray seems to be dead
by now.anyway,they never cracked
anything else than magic disk and
game on,so i got no hard feelings
that they are gone.

   -the results of the horizon and
equinox demo competition are :

    1.horizon
    2.triad
    3.fairlight(ex-absolute vodka
      team)
----------------------------------
   okey,that was all for the news
now i'll give some explanations...

   -moskwa tv was  one of the big-
gest lamers that existed and after
a lot of trouble he/they left the
scene.

   -huh,i didn't know that there
has ever been a federation against
ikari.by the way,excell was still
in the scene some time ago.

   -after bros returned,they kept
on releasing some stuff,but later
they died forever(r.i.p.)

    -jumpie has been a very cool
member of f4cg until he left the
scene.i still remember his goodbye
note named 'game over'.

    -well,a few years later,omg
started to call action 'lamers'.
and there were a few wars i think!

    -the scrap of contex mentioned
there later joined genesis project
as a graphician and a coder.he al-
so coded a few games.

    -crypt was one of the oldest
german groups and the last thing i
saw from them was their   3 years
demo released something like 1.5-
2 years ago.
    i really wonder if the rantan-
plan mentioned there is the   ran-
tanplan today,rtp/spirit,as this
is not a common name! hey steffen,
what do you say?

    - x-ray didn't die at that ti-
me,they were rebuilt and kept on
cracking until the last year...
