       INTERVIEW WITH J.O.E.
------------------------------------

For   some  time  J.O.E  topped  all
graphicians  charts, but he quit the
scene.  But now he is back.  RAW was
lucky  enough  to  get  an interview
with J.O.E.

Why  did  you  leave the scene for a
while and why did you come back?

Some    of    you   have   certainly
recognized  that  I  disappeared one
and  a half year ago from the scene.
The  reason  was,  that I got my own
flat  in  Graz,  the biggest city in
Austria,  behind

INTERVIEW WITH THE CODER OF TWINTRIS
------------------------------------

He  made  the hit 'TWINTRIS'.  The
game  has  become  one  of  the most
popular  arcade  games  in the Amiga
history.   Let's  us  talk  with the
programmer   of   this  game,  Svein
Berge......


Which  Amiga  groups  have  you been
in ?

Ok, here comes the boring story:  My
friends  back  home  and I founded a
group  with  the  silly  name Action
Force  some  years  ago.   Later  we
found  out  that  Action Force was a

INTERVIEW WITH ELMER
------------------------------------

ËHave you seen the Virtual World demo
from  Thomas  Landspurg.   Elmer was
the  man  behind the graphics.  Here
is a interview with him:

What  do  you  think  about the demo
from Tomsoft 'Virtual World' ?

Of  course I like it!!  Do you think
I   would   have  contributed  to  a
production  I  don't like ?  I think
it's  quite  original  and the music
plunges you in the atmosphere of the
demo.    From,  there  it's  a  real
pleasure wa

INTERVIEW WITH STEINAR APALNES
------------------------------

Many   people   around   says   that
friendship  is  more  important than
fame.   But  nearly all of them just
have  friendship  in their mouth and
do  no action!  Sphinx/Network did a
lot    of    music    for    Network
productions,  but suddenly he joined
a  much  smaller group (Airborn) and
quit   his  pseudoname.   He  choose
friendship  instead  of fame.  Let's
ask him some questions!

- Why did you quit NETWORK ?

The   reason

Razor 1991 and Imp 666 party - main
------------------------------------

At the end of September, Imp 666 and
Razor  1911  held  a  Amiga party in
Arendal,  Norway.   We  travelled to
this  party  with  no  expectations.
The  main  reason  for travelling to
this party was to have fun with cool
dudes.   We  arrived  at  the  party
Friday.  Only 60 people were present
at  that time and we thought " Shit,
What  are we doing here!" But things
was   getting  better.   210  people
arrived, but most o

    Digital Innovation/Anarchy
------------------------------------
Good demo, but the only innovation
we found was in the name.  (Joke!)

Positive:  This demo has got most of
the  effects  used  in todays demos,
however not something real new.  The
best   thing   is  the  transformers
vectors.   It's  big  work to make a
demo last for 26 minutes.

Negative:  To make the demo last for
26  min.   one  has to do everything
veeeeryyy  sloooow,  and  that makes

Overall  :        8/10 

A  surprise  prodution from J.O.E...
There  is  a menu-selector where you
select the pictures.  I think this a
quite  good   idea.   You can choose
which  picture you want , instead of
sliding through the pictures.  There
are   2   pictures, which  was  just
amazing.    They   are  Princess  of
Agentia and Magic Chamber.  The code
is   quite   simp

------------------------------------
        No reality/Devils
------------------------------------
Positive:   The  demo is faster than
average   (not   so  boring!),  nice
comlex  vector  objects  and  copper
grafix  plasma, Lightsourced fractal
landscapes.   It's  a  big  work  to
code!  Nice end fractals!

Negative:    Nothing  new!,  'Boring
plasma'  as  the  they  claim, dirty
stars!     Silly    mandelbrot/julia
rendering.

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

Positive:   Excellent  opening  with
creemy       grafix.        Improved
monocromatic  interference patterns.
X-treme copper effects.  Astonishing
end  part  grafix.  Good 3D channel.
Very OK RGB plasma.  Groovy music.
Negative:   The  sine  balls  was as
claimed  boring.  Outright awful bob
-vector.

Selected scores:
Opening:    90%
Copper:     95%

From  France  a  quite unknown group
come   up  with  a  slideshow.   The
introduction  is  quite  nice.  Nice
Sfx and design.  You have the option
to  choose  between  2 songs.  Which
both   are  quite  fancy  and  good.
Afterwards you slide through a whole
lot of pictures.  You can not choose
the  tempo.   The pictures just com

ACME - SLIDESHOW

Code  : Maze                 5/10
Gfx   : Mithandir, Airbrush, 7/10
        Charlie and Carnail  
Music : Illuminitar          6/10

Overall :                    6/10


Mithandir  have been quite known for
his graphics drawn for other groups.
This  time he released some graphics
for his own group together with some
other    graphicians.     In    this
slideshow you can choose whether you
would  run  autoshow  or  select the
picture yourself.  Smart!  Mithandir
