Party Reports
Report on Assembly 1992
Party Report ASSEMBLY 1992 ORGANIZED BY REBELS AND COMPLEX We Deadliners arrived at the party a bit late, but not too late to catch the action. This report may be a bit on the organizer point of view, since two of us (Doc.X and I) helped around a bit, but I'll try making it as interesting as possible. The first day, nothing really happened. Everyone was coding, making music or drawing, preparing themselves for the next day, the competition day. The competi... read more

Release Reviews
Review on Apocalypse
************************************** "Apocalypse" by Gods -------------------- Code: Metal Music: Firefox + Twins / PHA Graphics: Morris, Phosphor Another standard demo showing us all kind of vectors, dots and lines. The gfx are not bad, the music by Firefox and Twins is rather good. It`s not a bad demo, but this kind of demo you see every day. My rating: Code: 65/100 Music: 75/100 Gfx:... read more
Review on Chit Chat 6
Messagebox: Chit Chat issue 6 (August `92) Producer: Mirage First impression: This time with a new very good design. Again a normal intro starts the mbox. Design: Facet did a good job on the new design. I really like it very much. But, it looks a bit like EuroChart. Nothing against it ofcourse. Coding: They improved it a lot. It looks a bit like EuroCharts, the handling is now better and the fonts are more readable than in for... read more
Review on Cracker Journal 28
Mag: Cracker Journal issue 28 (May`92) Producer: Various First impression: First respect for 28 issue, it`s the oldest mag on scene, BUT always the same shitty intro and CLI-coding. Design: Design? I cannot call this design, it`s just hurrible. Coding: Total not up-to-date. They have some different colors and bigger fonts. Articles: 80 % of the articles are downloaded from BBS, some interesting interviews and infos about BB, the rest is rubbish. Overview: C... read more
Review on Digital Intoxication
************************************** "Digital Intoxication" by Tech ------------------------------ Code: MC 68000 Music: Centrox, Coldcut graphics: Kale, Calart, Cash The first real demo by Tech hit the scene. Design, code, gfx and music are a bit after a fashion (m8, more or less), the introsequence is done well. The textpart is to a T made like Humantarget, the rest of the demo is by and large vectorstuff seen hundred times before. But... read more
Review on European Top 20 - issue 1
Chart: European Top 20 issue 1 (July `92) Producer: Equinox First Impression: A copy from OFFICIAL EuroChart without own innovations. Positive point: The intro-pic looks quite nice. Furthermore it seems that Equinox cannot divide DEMOS from MEGADEMOS, cos they mixed these charts up. E.g. Hardcore/Anarchy in same charts as ODYSSEY/ALCATRAZ, or Ice/Silents in same charts as HOT DOTS/COMA. You may better correct this... Desi... read more
Review on Eurochart 15
Chart: Eurochart issue 15 (June `92) Producer: Static Bytes First impression: Yep, we have got the Official EC back! A picture by Marvel/SBT opens the charts. Design: The design is similar to the old EC, a sand-colored design, not bad at all. Coding: Also similar to the old EC, gfx in text and different colors are available. Articles: 21 Quite less, but for the first issue it`s ok. They also sorted the news for groups like RAW and McDisk do it. The editorial... read more
Review on Grapevine 11
Mag: Grapevine issue 11 (August `92) Producer: LSD First Impression: I wonder how they manage it to publish so many issues in that short time, even on two disks. Design: No intro, but some nice gfx starts the mag. The menu design is quite normal, nothing special. Coding: They handle different font sizes, colors and mouseoperating menu, I think more or less standard today. Articles: They have got bags of atricles, but not quantity counts, quality counts. And the q... read more
Review on I.C.E. 8
Mag: I.C.E. issue 8 (June `92) Producer: Cytax (?) First impression: The mag starts this time not with an intro, but with a very nice picture by Ken/Cytax. The design is the same as ever and the music (by RH-/CRB) is ripped from `3-D Demo by Cryptoburners`. Design: The design didn`t change. Many say it`s the best design, but this is not my opinion. Coding: The improved the code a bit. Now the menu is mouseoperated and you can turn on an autobuffer by pressing F1 like... read more
Review on RAW 03
Mag: R.A.W. issue 3 (June `92) Pruducer: Pure Metal Coders First impression: The mag starts with a nice intro made by members of Offence. The mag loads and a cool picture by Fairfax/Offence opens the mag. A fab music by LIZARDKING/ALCATRAZ gives you the right feeling. You`ve also the possibility to listen to two other modules by Axel/BRS and WOTW/Supplex. Design: It`s a cool blue-styled design painted by Fairfax/Offence. They plan... read more
Review on Maggy 12
Mag: Maggy issue 12 (June `92) Producer: Complex First impression: This is the 12. issue, I guess it`s quite hard to do 12 issues, so my respect. A cool intro starts the mag, nice coding and good picture by Tomcat/Complex. You can choose between 2 different modules in the mag. Design: They made a new one, better than in issue 11. Above they placed a nice `Maggy logo` by Tomcat. Coding: They also improved their code, now gfx in text and a mouseoper... read more
Review on Maximum Velocity
*************************************** "Maximum Velocity" by Silents ----------------------------- Code: Coconut, Flame, Silver Eagle Music: Joloo5x Graphics: Cenobit This is the first demo by the finish section of TSL. It presents us some nice routines, cool gfx and good music. Beside Standard vector stuff they made a kind of `Hardwired` scroller which scrolls up and a cute endpart. A good demo. My rating:... read more
Review on Outer Limits 3
Mag: Outer Limits issue 3 (May `92) Producer: Polaris First impression: The mag opens with a normal intro, nothing special. The layout is a bit like Zine. You can choose between 3 different sounds. Design: It`s a nice design looking a bit like Zine. Coding: A normal coding, you can choose articles with return or with the menupage. They have different colors in the text, but no Gfx or larger fonts. Articles: They offer only some articles, not as many as... read more
Review on Suicid 1
Mag: Suicid issue 1 (July `92) Producer: Energy and Grace First Impression: A new diskmag. A diskmag from Austria. I think it`s the first from Austria. The intro is too oldfashioned, code and music are not up-to-date. Design: It`s a not very special marble styled menu. Not more to say. Coding: 21 Very easy code, no different fonts or colors available. The menu is very sensible, just touch the mouse a bit and you reached the end of the menu in one milisecond. Article... read more
Review on Top Secret 11
Mag: Top Secret issue 11 (July `92) Producer: Majic 12 First impression: This time Top Secret has got a new maineditor, Mud. The introducing pic instead of an intro is painted by Elmer/Symbiosis. Design: They kept their old design, painted by Rack. It looks quite nice, but not so special. Coding: They offer different fontsizes, but only a couple of different colors. I really dislike those fast flashing color, they should smooth it more. Articles: I d... read more
Review on Burning Spear
************************************** "Burning Spear" by The Dark Demon --------------------------------- Code: Quater Horse Music: Doh Graphics: Crown, Flag, Cax Another standard demo showing nearly nothing new. Vectors, megagiga glanz and blank and so on. The gfx and music are not so good, well, don`t understand me wrong, it`s ok but nothing special. My rating: Code: 52/100 Music: 49/100... read more
Review on Deadlock 03
Mag: Deadlock issue 3 (August `92) Producer: Dimension-X First impression: Ah, it`s a new mag who runs the streets. I never saw the first and second issue of it, maybe the guys are not able to spread it well. Furthermore it`s on track. Design: Well, the intropic isn`t dad at all, the mag itself is rather nice. A normal mag style. Coding: Featuring a mouseoperation menu is good, they offer different fontcolors. Personally I don`t like scolling texts down, so they... read more
Review on Falling Up
************************************** "Falling Up" by Analog ---------------------- Code: Revolution, Axis, Gandalf Music: Digital, Komeplipp, Zurglub Graphics: Pedro, Axis, Stingray, Omen This demo is quite normal. No stunning gfx or music, some code is rather nice like the vector-balloon or the effect with the salt-cellar. The best picture in this demo is the one with the horses by Axis. I wonder why this demo made the second place on Hurrilame pa... read more
Review on Delirium Preview
************************************** "Dilirium" by Complex --------------------- Code: Saviour Music: DeLorean Graphics: Jugi This demo has really a nice design and some nice routines. After a cool logo they show us a Zoom Lens. I think that`s something new. This routine follows a big vectorpart, but the demo ends a bit fast. It`s too short for a trackmo. The gfx and music are really good, some more routines wouldn`t be bad... read more
Review on Guardian Dragon 2
************************************** "Guardian Dragon II" by Kefrens ------------------------------- Code: Laxity and Vention Music: S.L.L. Graphics: R.W.O. This demo has really got a great design and the music by S.L.L. is very good. R.W.O. made some fantastic gfx for this demo, like the smoking monster or the titlepicture. This demo offers a lot of cool code with perfect design. I like especially the effect... read more
Review on Menace
************************************** "Menace" by Desire ------------------ Code: Guy Frost Music: Fabian Graphics: Bip, Zorlac Yep, a new very good styled and timed demo hit the scene. Desire did really a good job, all effects and the music are perfect timed. This is the first `techno` demo that`s really worth watching. Beside, it`s only a filedemo. The gfx are very nice, the music as well. The code is also ok, but i... read more
Review on Piece of Mind
************************************** "Piece of Mind" by Nikki Corruptions ------------------------------------ Code: Zytax Music: Ferro Graphics: Arnie It seems that they tryed to make a little ODYSSEY, the whole demo contains only vector gfx. They start with a starwars war, interrupted by a little commercial gag with two joysticks. Some running vectormans fill up the monitor in the next part and even more vector. I can`t... read more
Review on In The Kitchen
************************************** "In The Kitchen" by Anarchy --------------------------- Code: Slammer Music: 4-Mat Graphics: Facet Three secret parts are hidden is this demo. You can execute them with the keybord. A nice idea. The music and the graphics are very high standard, the picture by Facet (kitchen) is really stunning. 4-Mat`s music is also nice with lots of variations. The code is not so special, but not b... read more
Review on Point Blank
************************************** "Point Blank" by Andromeda -------------------------- Code: Double Trubble Dezign Music: Lord Interface Graphics: Double Trubble Dezign They really worked hard with the design, it`s very good and it fits in this demo. The gfx are nice, too. Some logos look very cool and the music is fairly good. The coding is not that costly, mainly vectors and dots. The D.O.S. demo was in my opinion more innova... read more
Review on S.O.S.
************************************** "S.O.S. Demo" by Melon Dezign/Crystal ------------------------------------- Code: Bananasoft Music: Audiomonster Graphics: Seen Again the wellknown Melon Dezign design. Crazy colors and display. The letter mix-up at the beginning is funny. The intro is like Humantarget with this scrolly and a Melon logo is jumping on a accordion vector similar to the vectorjumping in Humantarget. Also great is the firs... read more
Review on Sound and Vision
************************************** "Sound Vision" by Reflect ------------------------- Code: Zeque, Overlander Music: Jellybeam Graphics: Red Baron, Nighthawk Besides the normal effects showed this demo some new ones. They made also a nice vectorworld and other very big vectors. The gfx is also very good, Read Baron is a talented graphician. The two different musics by Jellybeam are cute, too. The endpart is seperated like Hardwired.... read more
Review on Xpose
************************************** "Xpose" by Silents DK --------------------- Code: Master and Bionic Music: Jesper Kyd Graphics: Master and John Doe This demo seems to be a bad version of the famous Hardwired. The new TSL members show only middleclass routines and a `like Hardwired` design. The graphics are also not the best, the music by Jesper Kyd sounds too much like the one he made for Hardwired. The demo is not bad at all,... read more
