Diskmags Corner

---------------

Since we saw that every Diskmag has this corner, we decided to insert it here
too. So here are some reviews of old and new magazines we have seen in this
period.

Cracker Journal #24
The coding now is much better and faster. But the articles aren't all so
interesting, and as always there are too many german articles! Anyway, as in
every CJ, you can read interesting things too, and there are always the usual
funny stories about someone who was caught and similars. Very good the RSI
interview. All in all, CJ after 24 issues is still a fuckin' cool diskmag, but
the fact that they have a fixed release date in my opinion makes the quality
worse.

Illegal Copy #1 (Vision)
The first issue contained only films reviews and party reports, anyway it can
be interesting. Anyway it's a restricted magazine, coz if you aren't a VHS
fanatic maybe you don't care about this mag. We hope that in future they will
publish something more various. The coding is not bad, good idea to make it
into one file (like Freedom Crack!).

Bad Tongue #9 (IBB)
Here's the 9th issue of this mag, the only one (together with FC) published in
Italy that became famous also outside Italy. This issue is maybe the best,
because the new coding is simple but efficient and the gfx and the music are
really cool (nice work DHS)! The only bad thing is that there are not so many
articles, so in 10 minutes you have read the whole magazine. Anyway the
articles are always interesting! Keep up the good work E$G!

If you publish a magazine and you want to swap ideas, mags, tips, articles (?)
and so on, feel free to write to our address: we will keep in touch with all
magazines publishers!
¶(SELF) INTERVIEW WITH A LAMER BY POWERMANIA OF POWER INC.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I= INTERVIEWER
P= POWER

I: - PLEASE STATE YOUR FULL NAME
P: - MOBERG, DANIEL PETER
I: - WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
P: - I LIVE IN A TOWN CALLED ASTORP IN SWEDEN. I LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH MY
FAMILY, CONTAINING OF TWO PARENTS, TWO SISTERS AND ONE DOG.
I: - NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER-CARRIER.
P: - OKEY! I BEGAN FOR THREE YEARS AGO ON THE GOOD, OLD C64. I BOUGHT IT FROM A
FRIEND. AT THE BEGINING I ONLY PLAYED GAMES AND CODED SOME IN BASIC. I
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW AT THAT TIME WHAT A DEMO WAS. BUT AFTER A WHILE I GOT MY
HANDS OVER SOME DEMOS FROM THE SWEDISH GROUP "FORCE". THEN I BOUGHT THE
FINAL CARTRIDGE 3 AND STARTED TO CODE SOME IN THE MONITOR. I DIDN'T KNOW
MUCH I ONLY CHANGED SOME NUMBERS IN THE LIST, BUT AFTER A WHILE I BOUGHT
SOME BOOKS AND COMPUTER-MAGAZINE AND STARTED TO LEARN HOW TO REALLY
CODE.
I: - BUT YOU'RE NOW ON THE AMIGA. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT.
P: - OH, WELL IT ISN'T VERY EXCITING. IN MARCH THIS YEAR I DECIDED TO BUY THE
AMIGA BECOZ I WAS FED UP WITH THE C64 AT THAT TIME. AND ON THE 2 OF MARCH
(MY BIRTHDAY) I HAD IT AT HOME. FIRST I HADN'T ANY DEMOS BUT AFTER THE
ANARCHYS EASTER CONFERENCE I LAID MY HANDS ON ALL THE DEMO-CONTRIBUTIONS.
I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WERE SOME GUYS IN THE SCHOOL WERE I ATTEND THAT
WERE HAVING A DEMO-GROUP. NOT A GOOD ONE BECOZ THEY HAD ONLY BEEN WORKING
FOR A SHORT WHILE. I TALKED TO THEM AND I'M GOING TO JOIN THE GROUP AND BE
THEIR CODER.
I: - THAT'S VERY NICE, BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND
P: - YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. I WILL TALK ABOUT THE SCENE. I THINK THAT IT IS VERY
NAIVE OF THE EXCISTING CODERS TO TREAT THE NEWCOMERS LIKE SHIT! IN MY CASE
I HAD A GREAT PROBLEM. BECOZ WHERE I LIVED THERE WASN'T ANY CODERS AROUND.
NOT ONE THAT I KNOW OFF. I SEND SOME LETTERS TO SOME CODERS ELSEWERE AND
ASKED ABOUT SOME TRICKS AND IF I COULD GET SOME UTILITIES. THE ONLY ANSWER
I GOT WERE "FUCK OFF LAMER" FOR EXAMPLE. AND THE COOLEST UTILITIES IS NOT
ALLOWED TO LAMERS. I CAN NOT AGREE WITH THEM ON THAT POINT EITHER. BECOZ
THE DEFINITION OF CODERS IS EQUAL TO THE NEWCOMERS. I THINK THAT YOU
SHOULD CARE ABOUT THE NEWCOMERS AND NOT TREAT THEM LIKE SHIT.
I: - I AGREE WITH YOU ON THOSE POINTS.
- IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA SAY?
P: - YES A FEW THINS MORE. I HOPE THAT THIS ARTICLE WILL CAUSE SOME WINDS IN
THE DEMO-SCENE AND I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME GUYZ WHO WILL RESPOND ON
THIS MATERIAL.

(WELL....SLIGHT EXAGGERATION BUT I WAS TOTALLY SHAGGED!).
GREETS TO ALL MY CONTAX.....SUPPORT THIS COOL MAG GUYS!!!

ACTION REPLAY II - The differences
By Filippetto/Vega
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Action Replay II by Datel Electronics seems to be actually the most powerful
cartridge for the Amiga. I had the first version and I didn't like it very much
due to some nasty things like FDOS and similars. Now the new version comes with
a lot of improvements, and the most useful and awaited is surely the full
AmigaDOS compatibility. But there are also lots of other things...


What I liked

- Now all the files saved by the cartridge are saved in AmigaDOS, and there are
also some useful AmigaDOS built-in utilities like Dcopy, Format, Install and
some AmigaDOS commands. So now you don't have to convert anymore all that
shitty FDOS files!
- The old lores screen has been replaced by a medres screen and the preferences
are fully mouse controlled and therefore easier and quicker to use. They also
have been improved a bit with some more options for memory expansion and
other things. The nasty bug when you hit the backspace key has been removed.
- Antivirus has been improved: now it not only clears the virus but it warns
you when you insert an infected disk (with the chance to install it with
various bootblocks and more options).
- There's an autofire option with fire percentage for both joysticks.
- The monitor is a bit quicker and finally has the read/write track options.
There are also new commands like pack/unpack and a very useful command to
save the memory in DC.B format.
- The diskcoder can be useful for people who could be visited by the cops...
- The Soundtracker ripper is not very advanced but at least it works rather
well with a lot of tunes.
- The Scan option allows you to scan memory for a sample. There's also a sample
analyser and the usual options to select the range.
- The Mempeeker is very advanced with more than 30 commands. It allows you to
do rather everything about gfx ripping.
- The built-in formatter and diskcopier are not very professional but they are
reliable (thank also to the verify option).
- Action Replay II is not seen by the system, so you don't need anymore to
disable it with some games like the old version.


What I didn't like

- The title picture has 4 planes in medres and often when you reset it's
ruined. I don't like it! The old 1 plane simple logo was better. Then it
takes much memory in the cartridge, so more utilities and a 1 plane logo
instead of the actual utilities and that logo had been better.
- The Scan and the Mempeeker utilities could have been much more user-friendly.
Why don't they work with mouse like the preferences?
- The Save all command is not so useful as it seems. Now you can choose also
the crunch offset, but anyway, even if the saved file is in AmigaDOS, it
still needs a special loader and it shows a screen while decrunching. All in
all: better find the jump, save the memory with the Save memory command and
crunch the file with a normal cruncher!

BEING AN ELITE - WHAT IT ACTUALLY CAN BE?
(by Zoolook/Artemis)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is yet another text about the situation in the scene... I can't blame you
if you feel bored and want to get down to something else! But I think this
article has something to think about! Someone wrote about how stupid it is to
put the text "only elite" in ads. Well, in my opinion there is another point of
view: "elite" can also mean something else than being at the top of the charts.
It can mean that your contacts feel like you're an elite guy - they get a nice
picture of you. Let's think about it again: can we say that the most famous
crackercrews are "elite" just because every lamer buys stuff from them? No!
They only cause damage to the scene! And, although they always seem to be
blaming the cops for the situation, I'm afraid that the whole scene will be
fucked up by those maniacs that call themselves "crackers". Just to get things
straight: by the word "lamer" I don't mean a person that is unknown or
something like that, I mean a person that hasn't got the guts to think by
himself! He just wants to buy, and then he can boast to his friends: "Actually
I've received a sending from Shit Low!" Of course he "forgets" to mention that
all he had received was something he had bought. This is just what is needed to
destroy the scene - buying and money never create friendship. This is why I'd
like to give a piece of advice to everyone: boycott crackers - don't buy,
create something yourself! It's really nice when you do something with your
compu even if you would never become famous!
Then a comment about "Friendship-movement". This is also something I'm not so
fond of... Friendship rules, but not the movement! Remember when a guy called
Lenin tried to help all the workers in the world and then some lamers turned
his thoughts into ideology that has made sure that a lot of people will spend a
lot of time trying to get rid of thoughts that they have been fed with all
their life and trying to build their countries again! I mean that you can't
build friendship by saying: "From now on we'll all obey this
friendship-ideology!" Be friendly or else... Some idiots want that everybody
would swap with everybody... There are other things in life than computing, and
it's foolish to swap with people you don't really care about, but you just try
to be "friendly". It's better to have friends and enemies and keep your own
thoughts than to be "neutral"! I guess you guys have got my point... Think
about it!

NAVIGATOR TEST
By Bitboy/Resolution 101
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In this page I'll try to make some hardware tests (usually joysticks)
for your future purchases. This time I'll do the test of a well-known
joystick: NAVIGATOR. Here you can find a short description of the
joy, togheter with an accurate examination of itself. Valutations are
in a range between 2 (a real shit!) and 9 (buy it!!)

A)-General infos:

Name: NAVIGATOR
Produced by: KONIX
Hand-grip height: about 4 cm.
Joystick width: 12 cm. * 7 cm.
Cable length: about 120 cm.

B)-Ratings:

Look: 7 = It's a new idea but it looks like a duck!
Handling comfort: 8 = Really good hand pos'n.(anatomic is better!!)
Shoot speed: 6 = After a while your index finger can shoot no
more!
Moves speed: 7 = With a short grip moves are faster!
Autofire: 6 = Large switch but not too sharp.
Switches: 6 = Average microswitches (I think they're hard to
repair!)
Quality & price: 7 = Not expensive and quite good.

MEDIUM RATE: 6.71 = More than an average joystick, but ya can
find better!!

C)-Some words about it:

NAVIGATOR is a famous joystick, expecially used for TETRIS games, coz
in games like that you don't have to shoot a lot. The better feature
of this joy is the extreme precision in movings, due to the shortness
of grip. I think that NAVIGATOR isn't a bad bad joystickand his
medium rate (6.71) places it into good joystix class.
See the next time...

TAC-2 TEST
By Bitboy/Resolution 101
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it's time for testing a classic joystick: TAC-2. Here you can
find a short description of the joy, togheter with an accurate
examination of itself. Valutations are in a range between 2 (a real
shit!) and 9 (buy it!!)

A)-General infos:

Name: TAC-2
Produced by: SUNCOM
Hand-grip height: about 8 cm.
Joystick width: 10 cm. * 10 cm.
Cable length: about 140 cm.

B)-Ratings:

Look: 6 = Old look for an evergreen!
Handling comfort: 7 = Not anatomic, just little and funny.
Shoot speed: 7 = There are 2 buttons, so ya can shoot really
fast!
Moves speed: 7 = The quite long grip with a ball on the top grants
you safe moves.
Autofire: - = There's no autofire, and this is a bad thing!!!
Switches: 5 = No microswitches, only old contacts (it's easy
to repair!)
Quality & price: 8 = This joy is cheap and good!!

MEDIUM RATE: 6.66 = Not a satanic joy, it's only the less expensive one
in his class!

C)-Some words about it:

TAC-2 is a classic joystick, expecially used for PACMANIA nad KICK
OFF, coz his grip is solid and powerful, and all the joystick
structure can suffer (I think) more than 20 h. of continued playin'
to DECATHLON (a wonderful C64 game). I still haven't found a person
who wants 2 stay such a long time playin' with TAC-2. However I
suggest to try it before buyin', coz there's a lot of people that hate
old but good joys. See the next time...

THE WAY TO BUDO
by Chen and A-ha of Resolution 101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thruth is where neither center
nor circumference can be found.

You are a master of the total
style when you are free to express
yourself.


Martial arts have ancient origins and their birth took place in India. The
oldest fighting art man remembers is "Kalari Payat", an empty hands fighting
discipline that also considered swords, shields and sticks.

Martial arts soon became heritage of a cast of warrior monks who used them to
defense themselves during their frequent pilgrimages and also as a tool to
reach enlightenment.

After settling in Shao-lin monastery in 520 AD, the indian monk Bodhidarma
coming from the Dhyana school (called Chan in China and Zen in Japan) started
codifying the practice of martial arts. The legend says the monk took this
decision after 9 years of meditation.

During that age, martial arts were closer to the idea of Budo than they are at
our days; it was a continuous organic whole because it contained all of the
techniques that were to originate different styles. It featured projections and
losses of balance that were to become typical of Ju-Jutsu, kicks, punches, hits
with elbows and knees that were to originate Karate, using the opponent's
strenght and articular keys now typical of Aikido.

But as a basis of physical practice, then as today, there was constantly
present the practice of meditation, aimed towards reaching enlightenment.

To correctly understand the notion of Budo as a system and a whole of martial
arts it is necessary to face both the physical and the philosophical aspect. An
harmonic and complete psico-phisical developement is the only way to approach a
correct comprehension of martial arts.

DIGITIZING SERVICES
by A-ha of Resolution 101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resolution 101 Varese have opened a new service to help you freaks having
pictures and sounds digitized. So if you need anything digitized just send it
to them and it will be returned to you as soon as possible in the form of an
IFF file. Let's have a closer look to this useful feature.

A-ha: - How did you have the idea of opening such a service?
Crackerjack: - I thought it could be a new way to make more friends in the
scene... it's friendship that rules!
A-ha: - Who do you think will be interested in such a service?
Cjk: - Mainly graphicsmen who want to start their work from a digitized source
to keep it as close as possible to reality... but also people who want to put
on the computer a logo or an already existing picture but have neither time nor
skills to do it by themselves... or also for putting one's face in a demo, I
think that demos with sampled pictures and voices from the guys laying behind
it are fun..
A-ha: - What is your hardware?
Cjk: - I have a Videon III (digitizes in 16 million colours and then reduces
it to any video mode available on the Amiga), a VCR, a Video 8 camera and a
mono sound sampler. We get the best result from a small picture already
printed or a dia, but we can get great results also from
VCR... I think we will have the very best results when I will buy a Laser
Video, but that's still far in the future...
A-ha: - So how can our friends reading this get a picture digitized or a sound
sampled?
Cjk: - That's fairly simple... they send me 3 new and checked DSDD disks to
pay postage, another disk to put images or samples on and then add the sources
(photos, dia, videotapes, audio tapes, even negatives if you have nothing
better). Please write your address clearly and, why not?, put some news on the
disks. As soon as possible you will get the samples and your sources back...if
you are sending me a VHS tape, please send me 5 more disks to pay postage...but
anyway try and send me pictures, they are the ones with the very best
results...
Ok I think this is all I need to say... so if you are interested, send the
stuff to Crackerjack under...

THE ULTIMATE FAKINGS
by A-ha of Resolution 101
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The faking method written below is the one - I think - that gives you most
money savings and thus more fun (ie you can go to the cinema with that
money or better buy some more Tuborg on Saturday night); but as any other
faking method it is necessary to put straight off that it is ABSOLUTELY
ILLEGAL and neither me nor the Freedom Crack team takes any responsibility
for what you will do with it. You are on your own business, got it?

What you need:
- A bottle of vinylic glue (ex. Vinavil);
- Any stick glue;
- Some stamps ("ooh I thought a rubber duck!")

The idea behind this method is this: vinylic glue doesn't get away when
washed with water, but keeps the stamp from dying due to continuative
washing action.

1. take the stamps and put vinylic glue on their front; let it dry and
then turn the stamps and put glue on their back. Some glues contain a very
high percentage of water, so it might be necessary to put a lot of glue on
the stamp. Now your stamps look simply fine, and will be forever water
proof.
2. use the stick glue to paste the faked stamp on your envelope and then
put stick glue all over it. Let it dry away (it sometimes takes a couple
of hours, but using a hair phon should cut it down dramatically) and send
your envelope.
3. when sending, dont be so stupid to go to the post office, or they will
fuck you and your stamps (hi Tito
4. when you are sent back the stamp, just wash it in warm water and the
stamp will look even better than when it was brand new! so you can use it
again, and again, and again!
5. don't put too few postage if you use faked stamps... the postmen use
to get angry when you do so.

I think this method is just great... anyway, try it and let us know.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SEXLIFE
by A-ha of Resolution 101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How many times has it happened to you? You are an elite guy, you are simply the
best around when the point is blitting 3D vectors or composing the shortest but
coolest tune ever heard, but that nice blond angel who is sitting in front of
you just doesn't see you... it does not matter wheter your heart is bleeding
and your head is turning, she just doesn't see you. You try chatting a little
bit, she deems you worthy of a sad look... what do you do, then? If you don't
feel like committing suicide, then you'd better keep on reading your fav
Freedom Crack!
I can give you neither spells nor magical potions to help you improve your
sexual and affective life, but there are some often misknown rules that can
help you a real lot when you want to cut a figure on somebody.
What does a girl notice the most in a lad? Well, first and best, his eyes.
Women say in a man's eyes can be read his very own soul, and will be fond of a
couple of green or blue eyes. If you don't think your eyes are anything
special, there are still some rules you'd better follow: 1. NEVER and I say
NEVER turn your eyes when she's watching you; the best thing to do in such
cases is to gaze deeply into her eyes, and it does not matter if you are blind,
she will eventually fall; 2. try and find a cool way to wear and unwear
sunglasses: looking at a girl with sunglasses on, then lowering them slowly,
then taking them off with a straight movement and keeping on watching her is
simply great.
The second thing a girl will probably notice in you are your ass and your
belly, and if you didn't know it by now you had better kept on masturbating. If
your belly is not flat enough and your ass is fat all the way, you can easily
help it by joining a gymnasium club a couple of times a week (body building
will perfectly do). Also, wear tight jeans, preferably Levi's 501 or something
like that.
Another important point are your hands: we believe they must be agile and long
due to all those hours spent on your Amiga doing wordprocessing; my suggestion
is to avoid eating nails and let the rest go away.
You must not forget the voice pitch you have: a full, sensual voice just like
the ones 'testimonials' and radio conductors have is the very best, but you can
all the same avoid squeezing about. You'd better talk not loud at all and with
a low voice pitch (not too low anyway - it depends how your throat works!), so
she will come closer and will feel relaxed staying about you. If you really
need to shout, try and shout with a low pitch (see "I'm not Jesus" from the
Ramones to know what I mean), and always apologize with her for behaving in
such a way.
Take care of you: if you are a blood-bleeding always-drunken punk, it will be
harder for you to find a puss.. ahem a girl than if you are a BCBG (I know - I
used to punk around some time ago!). Girls do like handsome and clean young men
who will make them feel they are amid the boy's world and who will remember
small almost meaningless things just like flowers, chocolates, keeping a hand
on their hand and so on.
If these pieces of advice should be of any help to all you spineless gays and
pizza faces around, ie nerds and lamers, remember that it's always better to
wear a 'capote' than to feed another army brat! (hehe)

Anarchy Party Review!
By Soul of Zero Page Inc. & Intuition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The Date...? 23rd February 1991.
The Place..? Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England.
The Event..? ANARCHY Copy Party.

Yeah, this here is a small, but an in-depth, review of the Anarchy party in
England. The party took place in a sizable community hall and it started at
10:00 AM Saturday 23rd Feb. I was the first outsider there, where me and four
other avid Amigans made our way from London to Yorkshire at 6:00 AM Saturday
morning! After all it is about a 200 mile drive!
Anyway, we got there about 9:30 AM and the only few people there, were the
Anarchy guys. They had set up the desks and chairs and were just finishing off
the job. We looked closely at the power points available and noticed that there
were only a few sockets! Crips! (not crisps!) We all gasped and thought 'Hey!
All we need is an asshole to pull the plug from one machine and the others
will go down like dominos...'
So, I put up a few posters outside advertising the fact that we had warez you
wanted and bought in our equipment to set up. The fun was about to begin.
(Kickstart 2.01.....Must have been alright, we were the only ones to have it).
We set up the Amiga and realised that we were missing an extension lead. I
approached Mr. Big of Anarchy and he said that he'd get us a lead soon. My
mates got pissed off with waitin' so they went out and bought a lead for 10
pounds!
By now, people had started to arrive and slowly the hall was getting packed. I
stood on the stage at the end of the community hall and was talking to Mystik,
a gfx-er for Anarchy. We had a few good chats about the Amiga and the scene.
Mystik then went and got me a copy of the new Anarchy Demo called 'SYSTEM
VIOLATION', which I must say is a good demo. The music is gorgeous! Anyway, I
was relaxed and by about 12 noon there must have been over 100 people there and
there were stil more to come....
The whole party was inside a hall, where at one end was a stage on which there
was some people playing games and making music and coding. There was a small
corridor next to the hall, where there were some coders, coding away like mad.
I presumed they wanted to enter the demo competition.
People were swapping warez, demos, hints, contact address's and anything else
you can associate with the Amiga. There were also people who were coding demos
for the demo comp, there were a few people making sweet music, there were
people who were making compilation discs, ripping and pissing about with
graphics, and of course there were people who were playing games like KickOff2,
Speedball 2 and Lemmings! Every thing was going smoothly.
Then came the dreaded powercuts! The powercuts were the only annoying thing
about the party. Everytime some shit head did a hard reset on his machine, he
tripped the main switch and this meant that all the electrics were lost. This
happened about 6 or 7 times but after that the Anarchy guys had it all under
control. I just felt sorry for the coders.....

 (continues in next article)
¶(continues from previous article)

Mystik was surprised at the amount of people that were turning up and the party
was now in over-drive. There must have been about 150-200 crazy dudes.... All
hungry for warez and all were swapping with all! Anarchy held a Kick Off 2
competition and some others like Kareoke (I don't care how you spell it) but
everybody were in such a relaxed state that I don't think anyone cared much
about the competition. There was generally a lot of excitement in the air as
200+ nutters raved on and enjoyed themselves.
It was a good party which lasted until about 11 PM Saturday night. There was a
small bar in the hall, but that only opened a little after 7:30pm, quite late
for all the alcoholics that were around.
Anarchy released their MADNESS 2 demo at the party, which is a good demo with
some neat routines! As for you lot out there who couldn't be there that day
well, I'll releive you by tellin' you the results of the demo comp. The first
place went to a demo called HYSTERESIS by Magnetic Fields. Second place went
to Mediator of Anarchy for his SYSTEM VIOLATION demo, and the third place was
reserved for Anthrox, for their cute and ingenious ADVENTURES OF BOBBY THE BALL
demo. Which I personally think is very good! We should have more like those on
the scene. After all, ingenuity is the reason we're here!
Gettin' back to the point, there were some cool dudes around, dudes who had a
lot of new warez and basically all of them were trading with others, except a
few stubborn people, who I reckon spoil parties. They didn't want to trade so I
told them they shouldn't be here. I had a good mind to tell them to FUCK OFF as
well. But why should I bother? After all I got plenty of warez myself!
Anyhow, at the end of the day I'd say there was about 200 people present for a
wild party. The rest of the Intuition boys came down about 5:00 PM and they set
up their video player and they started to play a range of pornographic XXX
films. You should have seen the crowd gather around to watch them......
I can write for ever about the party and tell you dudes what went on, but I'm
sure that the authors of this coool disk mag want me to leave them some space
so they can fill it up with whatever else they desire. So to round it up for
you out there, here's a brief summary....
The party was very cool. However, I think it would have been better if there
were some more coool dudes around, but as it is it was a good laugh and
certainly worth the 200+ miles travel to get there. I wanna say, to all the
ANARCHY guys, "Well done lads! It was a good party..."
If you are reading this and you were present at the party but you disagree with
all I've said then why not drop me a line and we'll have a chat about it!
And just remember...If it's Amiga, it's possible!

Anarchy Party Repost
By HaVok and Ezy/Ecstasy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok folks this is the OFFICIAL report by HaVoK & Ezy for the Anarchy party held
on the 23-Feb-1991. We (Ezy, Havok, Slayer/Subway) first had to travel about
200 miles to get to this fucking party, so we expected this party to be worth
the trip up (what with Anarchy being the best in the u.k and all that).... Well
we arrived at the party-place and found it to be a old hall which smelt like a
public lavatory. The entry fee was 10p in the slot. Oopps sorry, I meant 3
english quid. Was it worth it?....FUCK NO....
We sat around outside the main hall for about 30 mins before going in bcoz, A)
it looked fucking lame inside, and why the fuck should we pay?!!! Come one
their had to someone who WASN'T lame their! So all in all it started in a
pretty LAME way. And carried on in a pretty LAME way too. Naaa, but really, the
power going off every 2 minutes didn't really do much for our enthusiasm, and
when it DID work, every lamer was playing Lemmings or using X-Copy ALREADY (at
about 11 a.m!)... Soooo nothing too hot so far. Now the people who managed to
pop upto this meeting... Well, most of Anarchy were their of course, Sabbath,
Magnetic Fields, Anthrox, Ecstasy, Slipstream, Quartex, Crystal, Betrayal, Ipec
and maybe some others... And here are some of the other groups that turned up,
if anyone knows or has heard of any of these, please write to us!... BattleTech
UK ("the Ultimate in Spreading" (apparently)), Arena UK ("whats Pubic hair
mum?"), Ex-Scoopex UK (no comment), and all the other groups that insisted
"their demo is coming out soon".... As we went walkies around the, erm, room,
we decided to do some nice quiz questions.. "excuse me, do you have any calling
cards?"... reply to this stupid question?: "what? well, no, but I can lend you
ten pee.... another one was "Anything new?".. reply: "Well, I've stopped
swapping recently, but I bought, er I mean, got Lemmings!"... Well, at that
point we decided to move onto the "demo" scene of the party. And boy were their
some brilliant ones! We saw, a sine scroll, a line vector routine (with hidden
line removal of course!), lots of bobs, and some coloured starfield effects....
Ohh dear. Their WERE some good demos though, from Mag Fields, Anarchy and some
others, Anthox's demo should have won what there was of the demo-competition,
it was pretty nice. The prize for the competition was a "simulated gold thing"
(Ezy's own wild description). Being abit fairer to the party, their were some
cool guys their, you could tell them because they left early. The power thing
was not Anarchy's fault (hmm) but having 2 plugs for the whole hall was not a
good idea. Slayer brought along his 14400 modem for use by the party (for
wares) unfortunately no one knew what a at&t card was, and only half of
northern England have phones! Needless to say the party place thing didn't have
a phoneline for the parties use... Mr.Big/Anarchy did all he could for saving
the party from total disgrace, I think he was the only person who actually
REALIZED something was wrong with it all, regards for trying anyway. Actually
the weather was shit so that might have had something to do with it. The compe-
titions were A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. NO-ONE knew what was going on, a monitor
was being used for "viewing" the entered demos, there was no grafix comp (no
surprises there), the music competition was a COMPLETE fuck-up, I think their
were only 2 entries, and only ONE of them got listened to. And the judges? what
judges? The bar didn't open till 7p.m, anyway the drink was too expensive, so
we used our initiative and visited the local off-licence. (continues)
¶(continues from previous article)
So, generally the party wasn't too hot. What were the good points? Well, it was
nice to speak to some of the cool people there, but of course we knew them
already from previous partys etc etc..But overall the attitude was of a compu-
ter-club where the main aim was to copy as much stuff as possible in the shor-
test amount of time before the power went off..However I believe I saw a few
groups coding things, but they did not enter the comps far as we know. The top
three were coded well in advance so no worries for them. Ok I know so far it
seems as we have just slagged the party off. Well ok so lets look at the facts
(no disrespect to the organisers)

A) It was held where few elite guyz live! (The North)
No adequate power supply-MAJOR FUCK UP HERE
C) It was in a fairly small place with no signposting
D) The demo/musak comps were a shambles, no-one knew shit..
E) No Phone line.Ok it costs but its nice to have one!
F) It was Xcopy Xcopy Xcopy all the time! NO events!
G) No-one had a sense of humour AT ALL (Havok and his Hat)
H) NO BEER!
I) It was, to be honest, full of lamers!. Some guyz were kool.

Ok so i know it sounds like a slag off so far but thats the way it happened.
But congrats must go to Mr.Big who at least tried to save the party from total
boredom but, I'm afraid, did not quite pull it off! Oh well maybe next time
huh?.Well now onto a lighter subject... Of course i am talking about BEER.. The
best..The bar at the party did not open till 7 p.m so we had to go out in
search of refreshment. And we found it. Lots of it. In bottles. Well for a
short while anyway.So we drank and drank until we fell over. We were of course
Ezy, Sabbath, and some guy we met there!. Well ok enuf of our drunken moaning.
So after the party finally ended we all went off to a hotel to try and get some
sleep... But Ezy and Havok had noooo money for a hotel room so we tried to
sneak into a room. So with HaVok in the car outside I sneaked in. So I got in
the room and Slayer and some Crystal members went out again, but I had to stay
locked up in the room.Ok i turned out all the lights and hid in the wardrobe
for about 15 mins..Till i got cramp and got onto the bed. About 10mins later
the wanker of a manager searches all the rooms and finds a Mr.Ezy spread out on
one of his beds and, yep you guessed it, threw me out... Wanker. So I looked
like i was destined to sleep in the car where havok was listining to the in-car
CD system. We were both pissed about having to sleep in a car in the NORTH OF
ENGLAND. Not a toilet in sight. But I think we must have seen more drunks in
that night then in our whole lives. The number of prostitutes going in that
hotel was amazing. I think most of them were ordered by members of a group that
shall remain nameless (yeah Morph, I know all about it, and the straps too!) In
the morning we were woken by some wankers banging on the windows. Wankers. So
we woke up, went to a motor-way cafe and FUCKED OFF HOME. Overall I suppose we
did have some fun but im afraid most of it took place while we were zonked or
not at the party..By the way, nice prize for the raffle Anarchy, did anyone
claim it in the end?.. OK well thats all then folks. Have fun and come to the
Ecstasy Copy-Party in September over the CES show.
Later's from HaVok Industries & Ezy/Ecstasy
¶Letters to the editors
----------------------

Here's a letter I've got from Dr.Awesome/Crusaders:
Hi Filippetto,
Referring to Freedom Crack issue #5, where I read with great interest your
article about "New style of music" or something like that, where you
complained about most musicians in the scene often use only major- and
minor-chords, not many special chords with adds and sus etc can be heard in
demos etc., and it gives a boring sound. Well I'm here to try to explain
to you WHY this is so. I don't know if you're a musician yourself, but if
you are, try the following:
When you have an idea for a new great tune, start sampling some really nice
sounding major- and minor chords, say for instance a choir. To get a
decent sound on a choir, you have to use a reasonably high sample rate.
Then add a few more chords, a couple of sus-chords, an add7-chord, an
add9-chord, a maj-chord, and a few others. In addition you need of course
to sample the chords from different starting positions on the keyboard, for
instance the minor-chord should be sampled both from C, D# and G, same
thing with the major of course. Then add a few really nice drums with lots
of reverb, a couple of bass sounds will have to be added and last but not
least, of course a few different lead instruments, so you can vary the
sound a bit. Now make your song, say you use 40 different patterns. Up
till now everything is great, but that's only until you try to save your
module, and your disk goes full! Mee oh my, that was a 480kb module, but
it sounds real nice, so what the heck. Format a new disk and save it
there.
Now take the module to your friend, who's a coder and is at the moment
coding a demo with 8000 lines of source, lots of pictures of course, maybe
some animations etc too. Give him the 480 kb module and say "Hey I've made
this great song and it takes 480 kb of memory - and want you to use it in
your demo!"
Now one of two things can happen - your coding friend will either fall
about on the floor, gasping with laughter, and stay flat on the floor
laughing for about 90 minutes. Or he will brutally smash your face in with
his second disk drive, and tell you that you're thrown out of the group.
THAT'S why most songs only have major- and minor chords, my friend. I hope
you got the point!
I'd like to add that with a bit of experimenting you can create other
chords by using a lead instrument in addition to the chord, only on another
note than the chord is actually using, for instance play a Cmajor and add a
B with your lead instrument - voila! you have a Cmaj! Also, try mixing
two different chords together, like a G#major and a D#minor. A bit
strange, yes, but under the right circumstances it can sound pretty good!
Well that's all - I hope I have cleared up a few things for you. I hope
you can print this little article in Freedom Crack issue 6.
With musical greetzkiburgers, Dr.Awesome / Crusaders
¶Interview with
Zodiac
of
Sanity
By Filippetto/Vega
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- So here we are. Who are you, and what do you do in Sanity?
- I'm Zodiac of Sanity and my functions are composing and a little bit legal
swapping. (just 4 fun!!) I am now 19 years old and I'm living in a fucking
small town in Germany called Spangenberg. I'm still going to school but I
will do exams in a few weeks. Okay, enough for my person.

- What do you think about the German scene? Who are the best?
- About the german scene??...hmm...I think there are too many groups here in
Germany. Many of them are pure lame swap-groups, who dream of crackers,
trainers, to become famous etc. Swapping is their life. I don't like those
groups much. On the other hand you have quite unknown demogroups, who bring
out a single, lame intro or such things and then you never see something
again from them. The scene is overfilled with average demos/intros,
everything looks similar. In my opinion, small groups should try to join
together with other small groups to keep the scene a little bit more
overviewable.

- And why is the German scene so full of groups?
- Mhhh...the reason is maybe...shit! I don't know!!! Maybe because every lamer
wants to build up his own group, maybe he dreams of a big successful group,
maybe he thinks about legends like BS1, Dynamic Duo, DOC etc, but he has to
fail, because he has no knowledge and contacts to the scene. (the real one!!)
...but who knows???

- What do you think about United Germany? And how is it going?
- For me it's not very important to live in a United Germany. In some years
Germany could become one of the strongest countries in the world (in an
economical point of view, of course!!). But the bad point is, till now the
economy in the EX-GDR is more or less destroyed and to bring it on a higher
level we have to pay (more tax, higher prices of gasoline). And of course we
have to pay for the gulf-war. And although we have to spend a lot of money
for the things mentioned above, we give a credit over some millions of DM to
Jordania, maybe you know, a pro-Iraq country!! I can't understand this!!!

- Tell me something about your typical day...
- My typical day starts at 7 AM (weekdays) when I stand up and prepare for
school. On most days I return from school at 11.30 AM and drive to the
postoffice to get my sendings. When I arrive home I check them out and doing
things like writing interviews for diskmags and so on. In the afternoon I
copy the stuff and send it back. Sometimes I do something for school (very
seldom), visit friends and such things. The most evenings I spend my time in
our local pubs in order to drink some beer have a chat etc. Normally my
weekday ends at 23 pm.

(continues in next article)
¶(continues from previous article)

- Sanity is still a 100% German group. Maybe do you want to keep a certain
image?
- Yes you are right, till now Sanity is a 100% german group. But this has
nothing to do that we don't want members in other countries, but till now
nobody from another country has asked us to join Sanity. That's the only
reason. So to everybody out of Germany, if you are a cool and good guy and
want to join a cool demogroup, contact us!!!

- What plans does Sanity have for the future?
- Hmm. Our intentions for the future are to make better and better demos, to
get more known in the scene, maybe to become the best demogroup in Germany.
(Who knows???) Of course we will go on making packs and our famous
BlahBlah!!! Don't be afraid!!! Look out for more and more Sanity releases in
the future!!!

- All your musics have very strange melodies. Why? Do ya wanna try a new style?
- I think every composer wants to make this style of music, which he listens to
in his sparetime. So my favourite kind of music is Techno and Electric Body
Music, and I also make this kind of music on Amiga. I try very often to make
a new sound by working on samples (higher the volume, cuts, reverse, echos
etc) so I try to make a music, which doesn't sound like another music on
Amiga (the Style). Of course there are only few people who like my music (I
thing only people who like Techno and EBM) but I don't care!!! I like it and
I have fun while composing and thats the most important point, FUN!!! I would
never try to make sounds of another style only to satisfy someones taste of
music.

- Soon you'll have to go to the army...Tell me what you know about it, in
Germany. Is it possible to avoid the military service?
- That's right, I have to go to the army. Of course you can avoid it, but you
have to do socialservices instead of the army. I've chosen the army, because
it's 3 month shorter than the socialservice and you have a slightly chance
not to be called up (6:4), because they want to decrease the number of
soldiers here in Germany. If you are lucky, you don't have to go to them. I
hope I will be lucky!!!!!!

- What kind of musicprogram do you use?
- I only use Noisetracker2.0. In my opinion it's the best musiceditor. Of
course I tried to make some music with synthetic soundeditors, but it's too
hard to make music with'em and every song sounds similar.

- Anything else to say...greetz/fuckings and so on...
- I just want to say hello to all contacts of Sanity and to all Techno freax
all around the world!!! Special Hellos to all members of Sanity. Okay that's
all, Zodiac says bye!!!

¶
Too many diskmags???
By Sterling/Savage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you read one of these fuckin' boring interviews in one of these mags you
always can read a sentence like that: there are too many diskmags. Maybe that's
true but it doesn't matter a lot. I have never heard that somebody died b'coz
he got too much of these mags on disk. It's the same with the demos and the
games... there are also too much but nobody writes that there are too many
games or cli-packs. No, they always tell shit about the mags. Of coz it's
gettin' harder for the mags to find good editors when more and more mags come
out and sometimes there will just remain a few mags, because the bad ones won't
get enough articles to release a good mag. Mags with more than five releases
or so will stay forever but I think that mags aren't gettin' better with the
time. I think that the first Zine releases have been better than the new ones,
also Freedom Crack issue number 1 was the best ever made, at least I think so.
Something total lame are the wars between the mags (Zine-CJ, ...) because I
think this is a real shit when these editors begin to fight against each other
only because the write for a other mag. I tell ya to stop such shit like the
'There are too much' sentence because there are millions of people on our
fuckin' earth and nobody said to you: There are too much children, that's why
we will kill ya. Think about it and then go on telling shit...

See ya all in hell... heaven's too good for us!
¶Interview with 
Paranoid/Zerodefects
By Filippetto/Vega
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions by Filippetto, answers by Paranoid (guess!)
Typed in by Paranoid (thanx pal!)


Q Introduce yourself please!
- Where I have to introduce myself?! Maybe in a sweet french pussycat?! Oh
Yeah! Nice idea! Ok...let be serious...(since I know that this is a very
serious magazine, for childrens too!). Well, my name is Francesco, I am a
longdicked/nice/goodlooking/anarchist/doors maniac/fun lover male with 18
summers behind! My life is the normal life of people from my age (girls
hunting all the time...) and when I feel strange or crazy I turn on my
machine (I called it PATRIZIA!) and try to get workin' a strange program
called ASM-ONE...

Q Tell me something about your history as a group.
- Well, I guess you want to know something about 0dfx origins... Everything
started when some guys went out of theirs caves...yes caves! It was many
hundreds years ago...they realized that life was very hard out of their
caves, so decided to join together and fight enemies...but I think I got it
too far! To make it short: many centuries later some guys went in the same
situation...we joined together because of special feelings between us
ourselves...no relations to Amiga and scene are still important for us,
Zerodefects will survive as we are joined for FRIENDSHIP, not for the SCENE!

Q I've seen that ya have a new coder in Sassari. Can you tell me something
about him?
- Humm...you are talkin' about GIORGIO?! Yes, he's a very nice guy... I talked
some times with him on the phone and he seem to be very cool! Probably we'll
meet soon at our fire-circle (you know the caves...) But I guess you want to
know something more scene-related....at the moment he's working on a demo
(nothing special for italian standards, we know!) but lately he's getting
some breaks (too many girls?) anyway look for something by him soon! Also any
SODOM or METAL maniac can contact him...

Q What's doing actually Terminator? And Xenio?
- Terminator? You really want to know what he's doing?! Well, wait a moment....
I'll give him a call! (NO JOKING!)
RING!!! RING!!!
P: Aoh!
T: Aoh!
P: Filippo vuole sapere cosa stai facendo! (Filippo wants to know what you're
doing!)
T: Sto guardando SAMARCANDA registrato ieri su uno dei miei TRE vhs!
(I am looking to SAMARCANDA, recorded yesterday from one of my THREE vhs!)
P: E Sandro? (and Xenio?)
T: E' al suo negozio. (he's into his shop...(COMPUTER SHOP!))
The rest is CENSORED!
Ok, are you satistied?! Anyway you asked for it!
(continues in next article)
¶(continues from previous article! Phew!)


Q Yep, now I'm satisfied! By the way (?!), tell me the reason why ya always had
probs with IBB...You claim to be a friendship group but ya have been in war
with them.
- Things changed a bit lately...both of us don't care so much now, and we
follow our ways alone. Why everything started? I can't give you a real answer
but I can say one thing for sure: when it started it went on so fast that we
couldn't (or we wont!) stop it! Yes! We are and we'll be so long a group
based on FRIENDSHIP! But this means that WE are all good friends each other,
this doesn't mean that we have to be pleasant with everyone...some of us had
hard feelings with some guys in IBB and both the whole groups went involved.
For example, E$G(IBB) is one of my best friend in the scene, we had some hard
moments too, but we respect and rely each other and that's the most important
thing! Do you agree?!

Q Yes of course. But why you always ask me something? This had to be something
like a serious interview...Boooooooo! (Thank you for the handkerchief) I know
that you are coding a game. Tell me its purposes and when it will be ready.
- You better say...I WAS coding a game! At the moment I just coded the levels
editor but I am too lazy and busy to work on it at the moment! Grafix are by
THE PUNISHER(0dfx) and I got a lot of that...but will I use them one day!? (I
know THE PUNISHER will PUNISH me for this!) All in all its just a stupid pac-
man variation...nothing more! And i guess it will be ready FEBRUARY the 30th
in 1980/1981... (oh! if any software company is interested... contact 0DFX!!)

Q Your musician Daniele has been voted #1 musician in Italy...
- Yes, i know...but where is the question? Or is it a matter of FACT!?! Anyway
Daniele is talented (I think) in his music style (house) but you know I
(we..) don't belive in charts!

Q Your mag Funzine stopped at issue #3! Can you tell me why, since I think it
was going really well?
- There is still some people who remember Funzine?! Well, as you can guess we
didn't thought so! After issue 3 i improved the coding, Reflex did a fab new
graphic and we collected some articles, too! But we talked a lot on the phone
and decided that it wasn't a good thing to go on...if we'll start it again...
everything will be different! Keep tuned...

Q You have also a BBS called BROTHERHOOD...is it only for demos or also for
games'n'trainers?
- When DR.SAM bought his BIG modem he decided to open our own board. The name
is by me (who else!?): BROTHERHOOD! That's what the whole BBS is based on!
It's supposed to be a sort of 0DFX fans place! Its main function is to
provide the masses with our latest warez...that means everything can be
thrown out from our factories (demos, trains, cracks, drugs, alchool, tapes,
fun...)


(and again continues in next article)
¶(Aaargh! Continues from previous article)


Q Phonephreaking: criminal or not?
- Phonephreaking? What's that?! I think I eaten it some time ago! Its not a
food?! Oh, ITS CRIMINAL!??? NO! NO! I am a serious child! My mum says I have
to respect the law! I'll never do something OUT of LAW!

Q Future projects of ZD.
- First of all we want to organize one fire-circle meeting and to dance on
fire...than we plan to spend a lot of our time together this summer and to
visit some good pardies! All in all we want to spend more and more time to
get fun together and less to un-important things (like making 200 bobs in
spite of 199!).

Q Are ya planning a copy party? If not, what do you think to do at the next
SMAU?
- NO! We'll never (i think!) organize a copy-party! We plan to visit some of
them until 1991 ends and to have some internal meetings. Next SMAU is still
too far, probably we'll decide to come and meet again some good friends! (Hi
FABIO, PINO, SERGIO, GABRIELE, ROMANO, LUCA...)

Q Last words/greetz...
- First of all sorry if this interview went so long... Greetings...as we
showed, we can send hellos to our friends on our own demos, so no greets
here! Just two messages:
From PARANOID to FRANZ: Hello dad! (or i better call you grandpa?!)
From TERMINATOR to ENRICO: Ciao Enrico...anche se hai gli occhiali!
Well, I think that's enough! Just one final sentence:
EVERYTHING THAT GOT A PRICE, HAVE NO VALUE! ...AND FRIENDSHIP HAVE NO PRICE!

¶Interview to
Dr. Magnum

Icecream

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before this interview starts I have to warn you. This interview is NOT to be
taken too seriously... BE WARNED
Hi there Magnum! Here you are, the first assignment: please state your name,
group, age, function, etc. etc. etc.
I'm Mr. MAGNUM of ICECREAM. I am 22 years old and I am the brain in ICECREAM.
Very funny indeed, but who are the members in ICECREAM ?, and what are their
functions?
Well I can't tell you their names because of their secret identity, but they
are all coders.
Secret identity! WHY?
They don't want anyone to know who they are, infact the names are so secret,
that I am not sure if they know the names themselves.
How is your relationship with the other members?
They accept me as their groupie.
Is friendship an important thing in your group?
Yes of course. All the girlies like me very much.
What hardware do you have?
Amiga 500, PH8833 monitor, additional ram, external 3.5 diskdrive, a keyboard,
and a midi-interface.
How do you raise the money?
I sell icecream.
How much time do you spend in front of your computer per day?
At least 2 hours!
Have you had experiences with other computers?
Yes I started in 1979 with a VIC 20 and later I bought A C64.
I said computers, not garbage...
Well if that's your opinion of an old computer, I am happy to inform you, that
they are now where they belong: ON THE JUNKYARD.
How much does "computing" cost you ( phonebill, stamps etc. )?
It cost me nothing, I have a very good sponsor.
Who is your sponsor?
What am I an idiot? I would never ruin their good reputation.
Have you ever had trouble with the Police, Post office etc.
NO I HAVE NOT (YET)
How many contacts do you have?
How many? Well around 400 give or take a few (hundred)
How many parties have you visited?, and which one was the best?
I can't remember, but I think, that your party will be one of the best.
Your opinion of diskmags, are there too many?, Which one is the best?
Sorry, but I really don't care about diskmags. You see, I can't read.
Now I am going to give you a clue, and you should just add a short comment to
each one:
That's ok with me.
(continues in next article...)

Boozing...ZZZZZZ
WAKE UP!! next topic: Conferences...Conferences, I LOVE EM
The Scene In General...WHAT, Ok It's.......
And now to something completely different.....At last!
Well Magnum, How would you define a lamer?
A lamer is a person who only have an old CBM 64 and a CBM 1530 cassette
recorder.
Now here is the fun part. Your favorite:
I hope it is nothing stupid.
Well that depends on you. Let us start with your favorite group.
PROLOGIC (Ed: You know I actually DIDN'T force him to say that.)
Coder: GONZO OF FLASH PRODUCTION
Why? Because he is good!
Gfx. Wizard: Mr. Magnum
Well it is always nice to believe in yourself. Musician
Look above!
Now he is overdoing it a bit. Don't you think? Real Music:
Technotronic and Depeche Mode
Favourite game: Kick off rules forever!!!
Most used utility: Kickstart V1.3
Nicest diskmag around...: I Don't know. As I said, I can't read.

???? Your best VHS Die Hard and Blood Sport.
Beer Label: TUBORG

Your favorite food: ICECREAM
Now I want you to tell me about your worst nightmare.
I dreamt, that I was a lamer. (ed: But was it a dream??)

GIRLS, GIRLS, and if I've got time maybe more girls.
That is an interesting hobby, and THAT'S IT!! This interview has FINALLY come
to an end. Is there one last thing you want to say to all your fans out there?
I'm VERY sorry to tell you, that while I have been doing this interview, my
whole group have been destroyed, because a flash have struck all of their
Amigas. So I guess, that ICECREAM is out of business, at least for a while. BUT
do not worry I will be back, so look out for the sign. Mr. Magnum of (The
former??) ICECREAM says: TAKE CARE, AND TAKE IT COOL.
Well enough have been said, and no more to say (or write), so once again I want
to thank you for reading this crap. A special note to all my friends. IF YOU
HAVEN'T NOTICED BY NOW I HAVE LEFT ACID, AND I AM NOW A MEMBER OF PROLOGIC DK.
PLEASE NOTE, that this interview was done while having a party. Therefore the

VERY
poor quality. Also this was done JUST FOR FUN!!!¶Interview with Rioter of Equinox By Playboy/Prologic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there Rioter. Will you please introduce yourself.
My name is Rioter, and I am a member of the group Equinox. I am 16 years young.
My function in Equinox is Organizing, Coding, (look out for my new demo called
Levithan) and a little bit swapping.
Yeah I have seen your Levithan demo, and it is very nice for only 6 days of
coding. Can you tell me something about Equinox. How many members are you, and
what are their functions?
We are about 50-60 members worldwide even though we have only existed for 3
weeks. Our group was formed by some members from Scoopex, Red Sector,
Powerlords, and new age. In sweden we are 5 members: Mr. Palmer (Music, Gfx),
Agnuz (Code, Gfx), Pentangle (Music), Arcade (Code, Swap), and Rioter
(Organizer, Code, and little Swap).
Thank you VERY much for not writing all the members, just imagine how long this
interview would be... But anyway how is your relationship with the other
members? Is friendship important in your group?
Octon, the organizer in Norway is a very good friend. I have only met him once,
but we often speak on the phone. The same to Opus and Tripwire in the UK. Then
Mr. Palmer is an old and very good friend of mine. We have met each other
several times, he is also drawing the graphics and composing the music to my
game. Anyway of course friendship is important. It is the whole point of
hacking. Friendship is actually the reason why I am in the scene.
Well it sounds like you have a very good relationship with the other members.
By the way, what hardware do you use?
I've got an Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.2 / 1.3, 512 Kb Chip Mem, 512 Kb Fast
Mem, a CBM 1084 monitor. I also have a MPS 1224C printer and an external drive
plus of course tons of disks all over my room.
Pheeew, that was quite alot to say at one time so here's an easy one for you.
How much time do you spend on your computer per day?
That is very different from day to day. It is everything from 2 hours to 23
hours.
Ok I can understand, that you are limited to 24 hours per day, BUT I have
actually found out a way to have up to 30 hours per day. The secret, well
actually it is quite simple, just crunch the time with an ordinary cruncher
(Time-killer) It works just like a disk, smart eh! CUT THE CRAP. Were you ever
active on the old 64?
Yes of course, but not long enough to be famous.
I know just how you feel, and I don't want to talk about that period either.
You mentioned something about phonecalls to e.g. Norway and UK. How much do you
actually spend on your computer (Phonebill, stamps etc.)?
Phonebills are no problem because my parents pay them He, He.... BUT I do have
to pay for the stamps. About $50 per month.
I can only say you lucky bastard. I would be more than happy if my stamp-bill,
and my phonebill were that small, but unfortunately.... Have you ever been in
trouble with the Police, Postoffice etc.?
I have had trouble with the police, but that has nothing to do with hacking. I
had some trouble with the postoffice too, when I was faking stamps, but they
didn't do much. They just told me to stop faking. (continues in next article)
¶(continues from previous article)
You were pretty lucky back there, right? But how many contacts do you have?
At the moment I have about 30 good and fast contacts.
How many parties have you visited, and which one was the best?
I'm not sure, but I think there are so many I can't count them, but the best
organized was the easter conference '90.
I can understand, that you are having problems with counting them. (I was never
good at counting either.) Another thing that is difficult to count, is the
number of diskmags. What to you think about them? Are there too many? Which one
is the best?
I don't think that there are too many, but some disk-mags are of a very bad
quality. It is always nice to get different points of view. In my opinion Zine
is the best mag at the moment.
Well that is more or less my opinion too, but I don't think, that quality is a
problem. If the mags are of a poor quality they will not last very long. Now
here is one of the funny parts of this interview. I am going to give you a
hint, and then you should just add some comments. Let us start out with
MEGADEMOS.
I think it is better to put all effort needed to make a megademo into a single
demo. Hopefully the quality will be better then.
DRUGS...Shit, Shit, Shit and fuck the users!!!!
FAKED STAMPS...Sooner or later you'll get caught...
FRIENDSHIP...That is VERY important. NO FRIENDSHIP = NO FUN.
BOOZING...Sometimes I enjoy it (He, He).
CONFERENCES...Very nice, you meet all your friends in the scene.
MODEM TRADING...That can be good if you need a program very fast, but it
destroys the friendship.
Well enough about that crap. Here is a hard one for you. How would you describe
a Lamer?
A lamer is a guy, who thinks, that he is the coolest and best guy around. He
always boast about everything he has done, but probably 99% are lies. He has
probably never asked a girl for a date.
Geee.. That sounds really lame. Now it is time for your favorite...
GROUP: Kefrens.
CODER: Promax
GFX WIZARD: Uno
MUSICIAN: Walkman
REAL MUSIC: J.M. Jarre and Guns'n'Roses
GAME: Lemmings
TOOL: AsmOne
DISK MAG: Zine (ed:$%^&^#@#$@%&^*)
REAL MAG: Hustler and Playboy (NO, I don't think they named it after you...)
COMIC: Don Martin and MAD
BEER: Elephant
ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Malibou
FOOD: Chinese and Pizza.
(continues in next article)
¶Well now we don't want to ruin the whole interview by this crap, so I guess I
must ask you about a horrible thing.. YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE....
That would be to wake up in bed the day after a party, and realise, that you
actually slept with the uglyest girl at the party.
Bwwwaaaaddddrrrrr... THAT WAS HORRORFYING!!!!!! and now to something completely
different. Tell me about your other hobbies, if any..
I train karate, and then i'm very found of girls, but i'm that kind of guy, who
prefers the romantic way instead of the fast fuck.
Now there are some healthy interrests, I would very much like to continue, but
unfortunatly I ran out of questions, and have to end here. Is there a special
message for all your fans out there?
Just remember, that all COOL ELITE guys can reach me at +46-381-15745.
Great. Thank you very much for answering these few(?) questions, and don't
forget our party.
¶Mega Interview to
Hawkeye/Prologic!!!
By Playboy/Prologic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there Hawkeye, let's cut the crap and get down to business. Please introduce
yourself.
Well that shouldn't bee too hard. My name is Hawkeye, and I am a member of the
main-division of Prologic. (ed: The danish one) I am 15 years old and my main
activities are swapping and spreading.
Tell me some more about Prologic. How many members are you, and what are their
functions?
I don't know exactly how many members we are, because we have got a lot of new
members, but I think we are aprox. 30 members worldwide. Their functions are:
15 coders, 3 Gfx-men, 4 Musicians, 4 Swappers, and 1 Designer. We are spread
over 5 countries: Denmark, Germany, Norway, Finland, and Kuwait(?)
Yes I guess it is hard to tell if your division in Kuwait is still rolling, but
let us hope they're ok. That brings us to the next question. How is your
relationship with the other members of Prologic?
I have only talked with them over the phono, except for one, but we are all
friends, friendship is VERY important in our group.
I agree on that subjtect, friendship is indeed THE MOST important thing in the
scene. By the way what hardware do you have?
Well, I have got an A-500 with all expansions. No more to say. At least I don't
think it's the hardware which counts. You can have an A-3000 with 8 MB, and
still be a lamer.
Yes, that is right, but just imagine if that equipment fell into the right
hands... Talking about lamers, what do you think of lamers?
That's easy. If there were no loosers, there would be no winners.
That is perfectly true, but check this. If there were no winners there would be
no loosers. (he,he) How much time do you spend on your computer?
All my spare time. No more, no less.
That is a VERY long time considering your activities regarding homework. Ho,
Ho, Ho... Now I must ask you to remember a time, which you must look back on.
The (good?) old days on da Commodore 64. Were you ever active in the C64 scene?
Active and active... I have of course been on the C64 before the Amiga age, but
I only had 10-12 contacts.
Well that is just another guy, who doesn't look at the C-64 days as the
golden days. Perhaps you're right? How many contacts have you actually got
right now, and what do you swap?
I have aproximately 65-70 contacts, but only 10-15 are standard contacts. I
swap everything with them. Writing long letters, swapping beers, and so on. I
think it would be VERY sad, if you only swapped disks + standard letters.
Yeah!!! FUCK standard letters. Quite a few contacts you've got there, how much
do you spend on stamps per month?
It cost me SO much. At least too much. I think every hobby is expensive, but
specially being active in the Amiga scene as a swapper is VERY expensive.
YES the everlasting problem of expensive stamps, and unpaid phone bills... I
know that problem too well myself. Have you ever been in trouble with the
police, because of swapping?
Never. (Lucky me eh') (continues in next article)
¶(continues from previous article)

Lucky? I have the feeling, that the Danish police doesn't do much about
swapping at all, but anyway we have to move on to the next part of this
interview. It is time for me to give you a clue, and then it is up to you to
add a few comments.. O.K? The first word is
MEGADEMOS...
I just love megademos, but I think it is better to make a onedisk megademo
which is very great, than making a demo on two disks which is only standard.
DRUGS...
Bad stuff!
FAKED STAMPS...
I used them a while, but then I was caught and now I don't paint stamps
anymore.
PIRACY...
I hate games so I don't care.
FRIENDSHIP...
The best in the scene.
BOOZING...
I just love that. (Remember your meeting Playboy?)
CONFERENCES...
Great. At partys & conferences you can meet your friends and booze a lot. I
have only been to two parties. Bounty's (An OK Party) and Aero's (YUCK) so I
have missed the best. (RSI+TSL, Dexions, etc.)
MODEM TRADING...
It destroyes mailtrading. You can't write or get letters. By the way, have you
ever heard about beerswapping on modem?
THE SCENE IN GENERAL...
Everybody is talking about good old days on the 64. But at that time there were
also wars and stufftrading.
PHEEEEW.... that was all of that shit. And now to something completely
different... This one is just to give you a little break. Tell me about your
worst nightmare...
When my Amiga broke down and I had no money for the repair. I just hoped it had
been a dream, but this was a real nightmare.
And now to something completely different. (again?) This is the fun part of
every interview. Your favourite, we might as well hit it....
Your favorite:
GROUP:
Anarchy. They have got soo many cool members like: Dan, 4-mat, Kreator, Teeze,
Mr. Big etc.
CODER:
I really like lots of coders. Promax, Gonzo, Metallion, Delta, and Slayer are
among the very best.
GFX. WIZARD:
I think Kefrens' new member Slash is very great, but also Joe and Reward are
two cool dudes.

(PHEW! continues in the next article! The 3rd part!)
¶(continues from previous article)

MUSICIAN:
4-mat, Jesper Kyd, Nightlight, Dr. Awesome and Romeo Knight are great. It is
difficult to pick.
REAL MUSIC:
I just love Depeche Mode. But also Hip-Hop and techno sounds are great.
UTILITY:
Dpaint + Noisetracker are the best utilities ever.
DISKMAG:
Zine is very good, (ed: &^$^%^%*&&^) but also Freedom Crack, (ed: That's more
like it) I.C.E. and DISC are good magazines.
REAL MAG:
Yeah, I like PLAYBOY (ed: It is always nice to know, that somebody likes you.
He, he)
COMIC:
MAD is the best comic. At least I think so.
VHS:
I really like Lethal Weapon 2.

Ok Huckeye (he,he) let us fuck this motherfucking subject, and let us get down
to some serious business again. What are your other hobbies, if any?
Boozing with my friends, hunting chicks, and so on.
Yes I can remember that.. Once upon a time in the city of Middelfart DK.... I
think I'll skip the rest cos it will just fill the whole mag, but read the AERO
PARTYREPORT for further info. This interview has finally come to an end. Many
thanks to Hawkeye for answering these few (He, he) questions, and if there is
anything you would like to say to all your friends out there, now is your
chance...
Keep up the good work folks. Thanx to Playboy for this interview. Greetings to
all my friends. See ya at our party!
Well I hope you have all enjoyed reading this interview as much as I have
enjoyed writing it. I have just one small remark to make. You are most certanly
wondering why there two editors by the name of Playboy. Well there are not. The
reason is, that I made this interview, and some other articles some time ago.
And meanwhile I joined the rowdy group of Prologic DK. I hope you are not too
confused. Enough have been said, and no more to say.

SWAPPING HINTS!
(Hellraiser/Defcon 1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surely all ILLEGAL swappers of ya freaks out there know the problem with the
police in ya hometown. You are on your way from the post to ya home. Ya got
some sendinx and will now check the new disx. Suddenly the doorbell is ringing
and your mother is runing out of the kitchen to open the door fastly. Then you
hear some strong voices, talking about illegal copies of computer programs
and that they can search the house. Ya are packed by panic. Slowly ya turn off
ya computer, cut the 500 letters wich are lying in the whole room. The water
is flowing down from ya head and ya suddenly destroy the newest stuff with an
old rake. You hear the cops opening the door and now it's all to late. The only
thing ya can do in that moment is to pray to God. So, I'll now type down some
swapping hints, and if you follow them you are surely saved from the police.

- 1.) Never use your private address if ya swap any kind of illegal stuff.
(If the police will get it in their fingers, the only thing ya can do is
to pray)

- 2.) Never contact any guys out of an paper magazine like happy or asm, coz
a lot of software firms are advertising in them. I think that it's not so
good to ask a software company about illegal swapping.

- 3.) Never send ya telephone number to any of ya contacts. If you do it, then
write them in HEX!

- 4.) Don't write the addresses from ya contax in address books (If the police
get the book, you can make your own tomb, coz your contacts will surely
send bombs and rockets to ya!)

- 5.) Only use address coders, coz the cops are not able to find out the pass
words for the addresses!

- 6.) Don't have so many illegal coppies in ya room. Only the things ya need.
The other crap ya can put in the cellar or in ya parents sleeping-room!

- 7.) Destroy the letters from ya contacts if ya wrote back to them!

- 8.) Change more often ya Plk-Address and especially when the police found the
old one.

- 9.) Please be patient on copy parties. Don't give ya address to all guys and
remember that more and more parties are visited by the police!

- 10.)If ya are at ya local post office to get some sendings and the man tells
ya to come with him coz one sending is damaged, then take your legs
under your arms and run away as fast as possible!

So, that was it. I hope that ya will follow my hints.

Editorial

---------

Here we are again with this new issue, the number 6 of Freedom Crack. I really
hope that you will like this issue, as always we tried to put many different
things on it so that it can be interesting also for non-Amiga freaks. Moreover
we tried to put interesting articles for the whole scene. As always we thank a
lot all people who sent us articles. Now some important things:
- A very big sorry to the guy from AERO who sent me that article about the
party: I've lost it... And I've lost 2 disks with some advertisements from some
guys (I think from Germany).
- Another thing: many guyz sent me 2 empty disks asking for the new issue.
Sorry guys, but you have to follow the new rules. Maybe you have read the rules
in previous issues, but I don't think this is possible, since there is a large
amount of time between 2 issues.
- Pay attention: the advertisements rules changed (see addresses articles).
This was made following the tip that JPN gave me on DISC #6. I asked: how can I
decrease the number of adverts? And he: simple - they mustn't be free! I knew
that now you are thinking "@#?#!" but consider that it wasn't possible to
continue with such a big amount of adverts each issue. Too many adverts take
place for the other articles and we don't want to publish a mag with 50% or
more adverts! Anyway the "prices" are not so bad I think!
Have a good read!
