Here  we've  got it! An interview  with
the notorious Dice of Kefrens.   We have

BLC:   Well  Klaus,  I might know you a
little,   but   I  think  you'd  better
introduce  yourself  a  little  to  the
readers...    You  know...   Age,  real
name, other hobbies, function etc.

INTERVIEW WITH FISH / LSD

·Interview with Fish / LSD

Written by Cyber Bug / Balance

This  time  the  poor  and  bloody  guy
called  FISH/LSD was interviewed by me,
Cyber  Bug.   I  wanted  to  make  this
interview  via  phone,  but  then  some
problems  accured and I decided to make
this interview via mail.  OK, enough of
introductions,   go   on   reading  the
interview.

INTERVIEW WITH GODHEAD / REFLEX

·Interview with Godhead / Reflex

Done by Godheads / Reflex's brother.... (Suspicious ain't it)

As  you  know, Upstream is invaded by a
lot of articles by a mysterious Godhead
of  Reflex.  Now who is this guy?  He's
a  Swede, and edits, but what else?  We
put his brother on the case, and here's
what he came up with...

(BRO = Brother)
(RLX = Godhead)

BRO:  Ok, now first, what is your name?
 
RLX:   It's  Godhead  of Reflex...  You
know that...

BRO:    So,   w

THE PARTY 3 - The Ultimate!!!

THE PARTY 3 - The ultimate!!!

Written by Wolfman / Balance

Many  people  probably thought that the
article in Raw #5 about THE PARTY 3 was
a joke, but NO!  It's a reality, and we
have  collected  LOTS  of juicy details
about  the party.  Look out, it will be
bigger and better than ever...

When and where
Most  people  should  be  aware  of the
time.   As  "always"  the party will be
held  between  christmas  and new-year.
It's the place that's more interesting.

TCC '93 report

·The Computer Crossroad '93 report

Written by Wolfman / Balance

Here  is  the report of the lately held
Computer Crossroad Party '93 in Sweden.
We  were there and now we bring you the
report.

The place
The  party  was held in one of Sweden's
largest  exhibitions-halls.  To be more
exact:   Svenska  Messen located in the
center  of  the beautifull Swedish city
Gothenburg (Göteborg).
The  hall  was  QUITE huge.  A total of
7000  squaremetres  was  used  for  the
party  itself,

·Alchemy by Rage (1)

CODE:   The  code  in "Alchemy" is very
limited  as  this is an animation-demo.
Still,  there are things which I'd like
to  comment.   It's  LAME  to include a
routine  checking  for  the AGA-chipset
and the demo crashes later anyway.
The  vector-objects  included  are okay
designed and that's about all I can say
about the code.

GRAPHICS: The demo is mostly consisting
of  animations.  Some of them are quite
okay,  and  some  of  them  are NOT!  I
think they could have cho

·How To Skin a Cat by Melon Dezign (3)

CODE:   This doesn't contain a very big
amount  of  routines,  but the routines
there   are   very  nice  indeed.   The
rubber-  vector  is very realistic made
and  the  plot-tunnel  in  beginning is
also  nice.   As a major plus, the demo
actually  takes  advantage  of  the AGA
chip-set  when the machine is run on an
A1200.   The  lightsourced vectors runs
in  256  colors  and some plot-routines
are  also  enhanched.   A strange thing
though is that the 

·Illusion by Virtual Dreams / Fairlight (2)

CODE:   The first thing that struck me,
was  the  combability  (Or  the lack of
it).   To  begin  with, I got a version
only  working on Amiga 500's with 1 meg
of  chip.  Now I got a one-file version
working on normal A500's, but still not
A1200,   lousy!    Anyway,   the   demo
contains  some  nice  effects  and  new
routines  which  are  nice  to look at.
Also a fast light-sourced vector tunnel
is  there,  looking  VERY nice.  All in
all  the codin

·Imperial Tunes 2 Hitsingle by Parasite

MUSIC:   The first tune "Believe In Me"
is  a  guitartune.   At  some points it
could   be  better,  but  otherwise  it
contains  some nice riffs.  I think the
jury  at  The Gathering '93 should have
let  this  one compete.  The other tune
"Judgement   Day"   is   a  silent  and
atmospheric theme, quite okay.

GRAPHICS:   First  gfx  appearing is an
average   Parasite,  then  no  graphics
untill the mainscreen which is drawn by
Mount.   The  best part of

·Memorial Songs by Alcatraz/Scoopex/Mauve

MUSIC:  Well, since LizardKing made the
music,  I guess there's no need for any
detailed  description  about the music.
It's    the   "good   old"   style   of
LizardKing.  Perhaps a bit worn by now,
but  still worth a listen.  Lizard King
never  seems  to run out of inspiration
for good themes.  Very nice!

GRAPHICS:   Most  of the graphics which
was  made by Tony, is rather nice.  The
credits-part  logos  are all well-drawn
and  except  for  the  UGL
