SMAU 1991 Report By all italian members of Vega ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SMAU is since some years the biggest and most popular computer exposition in Italy and has become since a while the best chance for all groups to meet themselves. The rendez-vous of this year was Sunday the 6th of October 1991, of course at the Commodore stand. In this stand, every year, Commodore offers about 20 Amigas to play games. Usually the drives are locked, so to change disk you need something to force the lock, but this year we found some "free" drives so there were no problems to show all demos. In fact, almost all well-known groups had brought a contribution for this meeting. Of course no competitions, but it's obvious that all groups tried to show the best that they had produced recently. You can read about all the NORMAL things that have been shown at the SMAU in every NORMAL magazine. HERE, you will see a complete list of all GROUPS that were present there! IBB We met Raoul, E$G, Street Shaman, DHS, Piratronik. All these guys had a very cool T-Shirt printed with their name and function, and with IBB logo in its back. They released a demo called MANGAD, with a very simple code but wonderful graphics and music (the veronese duo: Street Shaman + DHS), and an utility cal- led NASP II (by Piratronik). This utility was very expected by all techno and house freaks all around. RAM JAM This group was present with ACBS, a girl whose name we can't remember, and some other members. They released a collection with all the old productions and an intro called ASSHOLE with a cool sine-dot-scroller. But ACBS brought to the SMAU a box full of copies of all their previous games and musicdisks, together with the copies of the last productions. So he has given away lots of disks, but he spread his stuff like hell. Their ASSHOLE intro is surely their best production ever. THE EVIL FORCES This really amazing group was present with Mr.Bite, B.A.D and maybe some other guys. They released maybe the best-looking intro, with a fucking cool parallax effect and the usually cool house music. Nothing to say, they have style! So look out for their soon coming magazine called TOILET PAPER, released in co-op with RAM JAM. DIVINA We met Storm, Romano and their coder. They were supposed to release their mega- demo but they hadn't finished it in time, so the coder started to show some routines...really cool! Storm showed a picture from their new graphician...it was GREAT! Look for that megademo, cause it seems to be so COOOOOOLLLLLLLL... (next article please!)
