                               (KD: Kickdown, OX: Oxbab)                        
                                                                                
                              KD: To get it started, would you please give us  a
                                  short introduction of yourself?               
                                                                                
                              OX: My real name is BALESTRA Christophe, I'm 21. I
                                  started coding on  ST in 1992.  My first group
                                  was Diamond on ST and OXyGene on Amiga. I like
                                  coding 3d effects.  I love Christelle.  I like
                                  VODKA. I hate Clary. I suck GENGIS!           
                                                                                
                              KD: Tell us something about your new demo, effects
                                  etc.  We have heard that it will be  Oxygene's
                                  last Amiga product? Oxygene 1996 - a PC group?
                                                                                
                              OX: Our last demo  VISION was created  on 1 month.
                                  There is a lot of  3d effect (WipeOut, Fade To
                                  Black). I tried to code some  bitmap  effects 

                                  Mon and Spiral worked on 3d scene with 3DS and
                                  they  graphed with  Niko Bitmap  graphics.  In
                                  1996 I will code on Amiga and on Pc.          
                                                                                
                              KD: Looking back at what you have achieved so far,
                                  what are you especially proud of?             
                                                                                
                              OX: I hate INDIGO (Handigogol), and I'm very proud
                                  of Control, Vision and Flipo (ST).            
                                                                                
                              KD: What is your  favourite game?  Have  you  ever
                                  considered  coding a game,  yourself?  Or have
                                  you already released one?                     
                                                                                
                              OX: I like  very much  WipeOut and  Ridge Racer on
                                  PSX.  This summer I worked 3 weeks for CRYO to
                                  code the Commander Blood's  realtime on Macin-
                                  tosh. But perhaps we will do a 3d game in 1996
                                  on PC.                                        
                                                                                

                              KD: How  much  time  do you  spend  on coding each
                                  week?  And,  how long does it take you to com-
                                  plete a demo?                                 
                                                                                
                              OX: I spend 10 hours per week on coding. And for a
                                  good demo I think a group  must work two weeks
                                  minimum.                                      
                                                                                
                              KD: What is your first thought when you hear...   
                                                                                
                                  Amiga?       No future.

                                               (Isn't it CODAC)

                              KD: What do you  think about this party,  compared
                                  to the last one in Herning?

                              KD: Thank you for  spending a  little time of your
                                  life   answering  these  questions.  Any  last
