THE DISKMAG REVIEWS

Oepir Risti #1 by Citron


Again  we  have  a  first  issue  of a new diskmag at our hands. Oepir Risti
is a Swedish mag founded by some of the better editors on the Swedish scene.
Read here if their effort have paid off.

PRESENTATION:  Oepir Risti is certainly
a  very  slick mag.  Both when it comes
to  the  menu-panels  and  the  article
layout,  a great deal of work have been
put into it.
It's  not  really possible to critisize
any   of  the  visual  stuff  here  and
actually  the  tune by Jogeir Liljedahl
is very nice too.
It's  not too often we see this kind of
nice design and it's quite obvious that
the  mag  has  no  problems  whatsoever
on that side.
Besides   from   having   the  standard
functions on one panel it's possible to
select a second panel where rest of the
functions   (column-control  etc.)  are
placed.  Very nice!

CONTENTS:   Even though this was is the
first  issue  of  the mag.  I found the
contents rather limited.  Only about 20
articles  all  together,  and that sure
ain't much.
The  topics  are  quite  different from
other  mags  we  see  today, but on the
other hand it's quite well-written.
Even  though  this  issue didn't have a


lot  of  contents I predict this mag to
be quite strong, especially because the
editors are all very qualified.

CONCLUSION:   What  the editor-staff of
Oepeir Risti have shown us in the first
issue  is  far from what they should be
capable    of    handling,    and    it
unfortunatly  seems  like a lot of time
have been spent on the general outlooks
of the mag (Okay, it paid off) and have
rushed  to  release  the  mag,  thereby
negleting   the   first  issue  on  the
contents.  We expect large improvements
on  that  field  for the next issue, so
start working guys...
