Boards; LIGHT ON THE NIGHT (fin) Gate was a finnish based demo group. 1990 - When Image was formed 06/90, finnish graphician and swapper Der HM joined them from Vision One. In december most of the finnish and Norwegian sections joined Anarchy, and Gate died. Wraith was their previous leader, but joined the pack to Anarchy. These joined: Octoplex (swap), Laiz (swap), Golem (gfx, 05/90), Griffon (music, 05/90), Psycho (code, 05/90), Wraith (code, 05/90) and Bruno (music, 05/90).

For a megademo from 1990, this is not bad at all. There's several stars-to-be appearing here. Bruno became big, Golem did good later on... It opens with an 'animation' (3 frames :) of a monk opening a Gate, before the text 'Gate Megademo II' is overlayed. The loader part is unspectacular, just a Golem picture with a priest and the GMDII text. The first part is the BOB-part. 16col animated bobs flying around to a cool tune by Griffin. Not a bad opening at all! Great for its time. [glenn]  GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.

The demo itself is not so hot, but that down-and-deep-funk tune has me reaching for the Pro-Wiz button like a rabbit for a carrot! Intec later made a lot of good graphics for Crusaders, a.o. in the Eurochart. This demo was supposed to compete in the demo competition at the No Limits & IMP-666 Party (held 10/90) in Norway, as mentioned in the demo.

Genesis [old] (1990-) --------------------- Genesis was an illegal cracker group based in the UK, who were born by Scott, Action Man and Mr.E from Oracle and N.O.M.A.D and Infiltrator from Scoopex in september 1990 . They did a few releases in cooperation with Angels and Defjam. I guess when three of their crackers (N.O.M.A.D, Mr.E and I.B.M) and one important sysop (Scott, 'DULCET TONES') joined Angels (which was one of the groups they were in cooperation with) late 1990 it was all pretty much over.

News way back in Generation #6 claiming all members had joined Interactive in Germany are probably untrue...except if they all moved to Germany and joined up :) Hawk and one other coder (real name Fredrik Schultz) are the authors of the NES emulator A/NES. Some news said that NEO Norway joined. Any info on who this involves? Their old homepage, http://hem.passagen.se/giants/giants.html, appears to have gone down. 1994 - Crusader released his second ascii colly "Seven Wayz" in august. 1996 - The swedish twins Candyman and Crusader (doublememb Epsilon Design) both joined Session in june. A 4k intro was their only competition entry at The Party 96, but they also released the first issue of their chartmag "NightTrain" at this party. 1997 - ROM #9 reported that Wizard had stepped down as mainorganizer, and handed the job over to Hawk. The coder, graphician and musician (04/96-) joined Digital Corruption later in the year. Coder Sublet joined Planet Jazz 97.

Gods was originally a French demo group, which also eventually got good divisions in Norway and Germany. The group died around march 1998, as a result of several very important members leaving. First Sixpack left for Haujobb, then German swapper, trader, packer and sysop of their WHQ 'LOS ENDOS', Ghandy (ex Bonzai Brothers, late96-early97), decided to end his double membership to a Darkage-only member. Next Caramel left the group, with no certain destination, and English trader Lithium (ex Eltech, new late96) left the scene. After their death was a fact, English graphician Wade (ex Eltech, new late96) joined Nerve Axis. XBarr has, though it was stated so elsewhere, not left the scene. He has however, most probably begun working as a coder on the PC rather than for the Amiga anymore. I believe he is now in Syndrome on the pc. Check out Bridgeclaw's homepage (http://members.xoom.com/bridgeclaw/) for some amazing pieces of art! Just CHECK out his latest work, seems like paintbrush - great!! 1995 - German musician The Loop left for Artwork in december. 1996 - In april Xanth was kicked out of the French section, and they announced that Wilsh was never a member since they don't allow doublemembs anymore. French graphician Geist (06/96) left to be a Balance only member late in the year. News in Ethic's "X-Files #11" [11/96] that Ghandy and Sixpack had left for Syndrome were incorrect. 1997 - Artwork's "Generation #24" [04/97] reported that norwegian Typhoon/ Avalon (gfx) joined. 1998 - English sysop Zoltrix ('SPACED OUT', new late97) left in february. 2000 - Norwegian graphician Bridgeclaw doublejoined Darkage early in the year. 2001 - In the early part of the year, Norwegian swapper Punisher joined from Apathy and Darkage. Norwegian sysop Sealapex ('PITSTOP'/'CLIFFHANGER' WHQ, 11/94-late96) sold his Amiga, so he left the scene. 'LOS ENDOS' is the new WHQ, 'DIGITAL CANDY' the new EHQ.

A Few Good Men - A Little Slideshow (1995, 04.06, AGA Multif. Slideshow). code: Zytrox, gfx: Bridgeclaw, music: Eagle. review: AFGM doesn't have the most impressive coding in the world, and I really don't like the music in this one either... It gives a cold, clinical feel for some reason, and I can in no way manage to be moved by the dire opening sequence. After a few gods - presents - screens, we arrive at the main menu. This is in monochrome, with the thumbnailed pictures choosable by mouse. You can also choose to run through all the pictures in a slideshow mode, if you wish. Another thing that annoys me about this slideshow is the fact that the pictures only stay on the screen for a few seconds, far too little time to get a proper impression of their quality =( I personally had to view several pictures more than once to get a good look, and I much prefer a system where it doesn't return to the menu before you press a mouse button. After all, slideshows are supposed to be about the art, and it really is a problem when you cannot get the time to properly view the art. It's like if a gallery opens its doors, and then the guards push you back out after 15 seconds =) Simplistic code (just music and a graphics shower, that's all) and unengaging music aside, this slideshow is still worth getting for the pictures. Even if the quality is uneven, there are still gems like "Warrior" and "Future Title" to savour... There are 12 pictures to choose from on the main menu, and we're going to go through them one by one. "Pitstop Title" (64c) is not one of his best, with unrealistic anatomy and hair for a lying-down female, and a real lame 'PITSTOP' logo. "Illusionia" (64c) is much better, a dreamy picture of a girl's face seemingly suspended in the air. Much better hair on this picture. "Levelling The Land" (128c) is a picture of a middleaged man's face. Again the proportions of the face are a little off, though the picture displays a sharer style than in the previous two. The hair looks unnatural here too. "Warrior" (64c) contains a female cartoon-style warrior and a vertical DISC logo, and was probably used as a title picture for DISC #9. This is the best picture yet, as Bridgeclaw seemingly masters the semi-cartoon style much better. Nothing to remark on the full-body proportions, excellent. "Maldi" (64c) is another facial portrait, this time of a smiling black guy. Again, the proportions of the face are way off, nothing much else to remark about this one. "Monster" (64c) is the least impressive of all the pictures included, and looks like an early sketch for an abandoned picture. "No Aloha" (64c) is yet another facial portrait, and this one looks a lot like actor Kevin Spacey to me... but I may be mistaken. In fact, it resembles "Levelling The Land" more than just a little. "Good Old" (64c) is a strange portrait, of a strange man... It shows improved technique, and an almost believable facial proportion (we can excuse a few glitches here, since this is clearly not the face of a normal person). "The God" (64c) has a great gothic GODS logo suspended over a straight-on diabolical face with an evil grin... =) "Steel" (64c) is a cyber-woman rendition, of the kind made popular by a Japanese artist whose name I can't quite remember right now... =) ...damn! Well, anyway, it's a female robot (breasts'n'all), and I'm sure most of you know what kind I'm talking about. "The Curse" (128c) is a much more complete picture than most of the others here, again employing a cartoon style, not unlike what was done for "Warrior". Among the best pictures in this slide. The final picture is also the best of the collection; "Future Title" (64c). This, in a rare departure from his usual people-dominated pictures, depicts a spaceship in (duh!) space... It clearly shows Bridgeclaw's progression as an artist, and serves as the perfect conclusion for an otherwise uneven slideshow. After clicking the icon for the endpart, we get another little picture with a GODS logo in the background, with an upscroller running over it. The entire slideshow ran without a glitch from floppy on my configuration. [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.1.

Just to think what an editor like Mop could have done to these articles... This just plain and simple doesn't have the 'edge' that's required to be great. Why on earth it demands a 020 or faster is totally beyond me, since it doesn't contain ANYTHING new that mags in 1990 didn't have. We've seen it before oh so many times...

Large portions of the opening is made up of vectors, which should have been a lot smoother with this kind of machine power. Also other effects tend to jerk along a little, creating an 'unfinished' feel to the production. Highlights definitely include the stairwell at the conclusion of the demo, with its bumpmapped walls and envmapped handles :) Other highlights were the two excellent pictures by Typhoon and Bridgeclaw, though the latter looked like it had some raytracing in there...amazingly enough, when you consider the motive!

Review: Ahh, like a breath of fresh air I welcome Magical Box from GHD! With one small, funny, little production they seem to poke their nose at everything that's currently hot and cool on the amigascene! Especially the system tester was great fun, with its 'post-calculating' after the intro was over...! I won't spoil MB for you, just recommend you download it...and when it stops doing anything and there's just the box on the screen, move your mouse. Be careful not to break it :) Recommended. You didn't really expect me to give a bad review to a production released on my birthday, did you ;) [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.
