Interview
yo dickheads! today we bring you an inter view with CREAT/PADUA ok lets start the show!!!
?:A-HEAD
C:CREAT
?:introduce yourself age, sex, jobs, pussys and so on!!!
C:na lahns?
my real name is BERT (of the sesame-street(not!)) and my shoe size is 48! i am 193 cm tall and my weight counts 88kg. the size of my dick is just average but i can compensate that by performing my expert way of blasting a girl.
why are you watching like this, it's just a matter of fact!
let me come to another topic: i am 18 years old and still visiting grammar school (12th grade)that is only few meters away from doc holles house.
?:what are your jobs in FLADUA?
C:nice joke; i really love such jokes (ed.:thanks) well, my jobs in padua are painting graphics, swapping (yeh! with approximately 5 contacts i definitely am a megaswapper!) and some other internal things i do not dare to speak of.
?:what do you think about hobbes/PADUA?
C:i knew that holle would ask me that question. there is just one thing to say: no comment! that's enough.
?: why? maybe you think that hobbes is a lamer?
C: nix da!
?:ok i don't wanna be so cruel another question: tell me your favourites in cracking, demos, swappers, movie, food, music, gfx'er, hobbies, girls, and so on............?
C:fav. cracker: fletch/legend
fav. demo : yeggman/tli
fav. swapper: beat/topaz
fav. composa: jeroen tel, geir tjelta
fav. painter: ogami
fav. hobbies: going out on weekends and the rest of the week, listening to music, not driving my car, painting pictures with spraypaint, not painting graphics on this sucking machine, hanging around with my friends, sleeping in my own bed, kiffeldidedldideldikiffen and all that other crap.
fav. music: rap (das efx, house of pain, hijack, stereo mc's, n.w.a etc. and techno (machste korrekte techno bass??) and sometimes jason don-dickovan and geily mioque.. yeh! that's my personal style,you gotta know !
fav. food: burritos, nachos, 3izza with pepperoni, zwibblbloaz, schweinshaxe+ sauerkraut, chinese food etc.
fav.drinks: dope flavoured tea,coke, tequila,whisky-soda(geschuettelt, nicht geruehrt!),etc.
fav. girls: cindy crawford,annie(!), nicole b., christina u., natascha e., elena s.,and some others.
fav. graf writers: loomit, hex, mitch 2 bomber, sik, mode 2, dare, ces, some/sos fav. game:f-zero
.......................
?:what do you think about the scene?
C:there is not going on as much as it used to be three years ago. it is slowing down day by day. only stupid puzzle-like games are re- leased. also my motivation for painting some- thing on my computer is decreasing. even if i would get money for it i think i wouldn't do anything. you have to know that (ed.: ..that i like sado sex). right. that was what i wanted to say.
?:and what do you think about cracking( and hobbes)
C:cracking subway windows is great!
?:ohh what a long answer, and what do you think about demos?
C:demonstrations against nazis are great too!
?:another long answer, hmm please give us a definition of a lamer(no names!like hobbes)
C:the general definition of a lamer is: lamer (spoken:leima) -a person suffering from lameness.
?: ok, this answer was a bit longer but who cares!well what is your fav. sex- position?
C: 69 is very cute but i always need a pretty tall girl for that position because else both, me and my pussy, aren't able to reach the other's genitals at the same time.
?:do you think hobbes is a human?
C:mann, jetzt lass mich doch mit dem duennen hoppser in ruhe!
?:tell us some datas about your first fuck(only humans)?
C:my dick was hard like an iron bar- she was wet like vaseline- i really blasted her. that's all i can remember-i was, too drunk- you know, if girls are drunk 3 they become horny. and to make her drunk i had to drink with her. glass by glass. that was a torture, man! i just wanted the girl to be drunken, not myself!!!
?:do you hate someone in the scene?
C:i don't have any real enemies in the scene at the moment and i hope it will stay like it is in the future.
?:give us a little memberstatus of your group!
C:ok. there are roman, ano, leonardo, arena franky, tesco, hornet, starkiller, bulldog loop, the syndrom, pixel, salem, polonus, the chief, mad, jadawin, midnight mover, hobbes and finally ME!
?:what are your future plans on this machine and in your real life?
C:buaah! definitely a complex question. but, anyway, i want to give it a try. i just want to keep on painting some logos time by time and i want to stay in padua if there is still is going on something. first i want to graduate at grammar school and then i want to start as a girl smuggler. in addition to that i want to get better and better in doing graffiti, perhaps i am going to immigrate to canada or something like this if my girl smuggling activities force me to leave europe.
?:if padua dies which group would you join?
C:don't know. it will be a spontaneous decision which group i am going to join or to completely leaving the scene.
?:do you like sado-sex (without hobbes)?
C:shackling is a pretty nice technique but to my mind harder things like stitching needles through the pussy-lips of a girl seems to be perverted.
?:ok i give you now some words and than you say what do think in this moment?
LEGEND = STILL A LEGEND
NEVER = NEVER DIE! (written on a steeltrain next to a piece done by sik!)
CONQUESTADOR = CORTEZ AND HIS CONQUESTADORS MADE LOTS OF BULLSHIT AS THEY CONQUERED SOUTH + MIDDLE AMERICA.
FUTURE = TECHNO - SPACE - POLLUTION I DON'T KNOW THE SOLUTION! (cute spontaneous rhyme, eh?)
GIRLS = GIRLS DO BELONG TO THEIR KITCHEN AND MY BEEEEEED, AAH!
?:hmm, do you want to greet someone ?
C:yes, sir!
i want to greet you, me, stash/epic, beat/topaz, enduro/flt, mr mister/trance arrogance, zoomo, b-wyze, rap,fear and airwolf and steel/success, the whole padua clan, cybex/paradize, napalm/bf, plasma, unitrax (snes), robert/crypt, creeper, spy, morpheus/flash inc., and you and me and remember: NEVER DIE-STAY HARDCORE!
?:last words?
C:i am sleepy and doc holiday wants to leave me (uaaah. schade, dass du endlich gehst!) and to do babysitting.
machtsch gouht !!
?:thanks berthold and bye!

Aars Party Report
party report from 'the party 1992 part ii, the final'
by diabolo
welcome reader to the report from the aars x-mas party which was arranged by camelot on the c64 in cold denmark. the party start was set on the 27th of december 0800 cet. we (benno/trance, rrr/oxyron and me) already arrived at 0730 at the conference centre after we had driven in our car during the night. we were astonished that there were already quite many cars on the parking place half an hour before the official beginning. it was very cold outside and we were lucky when we discovered that one could already enter the warm(!) hall. we went towards the place where you had to pay the entrance money. there was a very long row of people waiting. it took us 2+1/2 hours(!) to get to the desk where we had to pay the entrance fee. after having paid we got a white-orange band round our wrist which should make it easier for the organizers to see if people had paid or not. furthermore a 3.5 votedisc was handed out which allowed us to vote for the various competitions on an amiga. unfortunately an error occured on these discs but it was repared after giving the discs back to an organizer. a little sheet with a timetable of the competitions and other things was available at the information desc. after having fetched our equipment out of my car and installing it, we had a look through the halls. in hall 1 was the information where you also could deposit your contribution for the compos later on, a little computer shop with discs etc, a cafeteria, a snackbar and of course the 600x550 cm large screen on which mtv, compos, information and live-pictures, which were shot in the halls, were displayed. this carpeted hall was reserved for amigas and pc's. on the reserved tables were sheets on which group names were written. the same had been done in hall 2 which was planned to be the c64 hall. but more than half of the hall was occupied by amigas and pc's later on. at the edge of hall 2 was the main entrance. both, hall 1 and 2, were divided into parts by moveable partition walls. on the edges of some tables were plastic bags which were used as dustliners. later on the first day both halls were filled and all space the halls offered was needed to accommodate all people. the third hall was t`e sleeping hall where you could sleep on the ground. one bad thing was that it was strictly forbidden to sleep in the other halls. it made no sense to me why i should not sleep on my chair in front of my equipment. two times some organizers forced me to sleep in hall 3; but without success. later,rrr told me, they threatened to cancel the compos or the party if people were going on with sleeping in the halls. the halls were always clean as the hired personal did their job. only in the three (!) toilets was a little mews because the bin for the used paper towels was too small so that there was soon a hill of these. i only discovered two (!) showers, one for men, one for women which could luckily be used by everybody. nevertheless there was always a row of people in front of the showers and people had to wait 1+1/2 hours to have a shower.
we builed up our computer in the middle of hall 2. at the same table was the oxyron crew busily finishing their demoparts. people and groups that i personally saw at the party are: oxyron (tts, graham, axis, slide, rrr, kirk, pri,...)
trance (benno, asmodis, luka, ...)
antic (incubus, zyron, ...)
padua (syndrom, bulldog, ...)
spirit (ans, bulldog, ...)
smash design (tardox, ivan, ...)
varsity
nitro/rebels
and some more.
around 1 o'clock in the morning was a little techno concert which i unfortunately missed just as the game competition.
the amiga graphics compo was really great. all together there were about 50 pics. some pictures they showed were just brilliant and close to perfection. in my opinion the picture with some flying dragons as theme was the best. but there were many more good pictures, many of the good ones were showing two fighting humans in former times. one picture was supposed to be a joke and it made everybody laugh. it was a flying bird that could have been drawn by a child of 5 years and it got loud applause.
the music compo was not that good as the musics sounded all the same. the projectionists printed that about 250 musics were handed in for the sound compo and only 34 were chosen to be played. the amount of musics were probably a joke because i don't think that 250 musicians were present at the party.
the fast-intro-compo was one of the most amusing parts of all competitions. some were really simple. just a logo and a scroller looking like a standard intro on the c64 but below the amiga standard. one intro that looked quite good in the beginning did self destruction as the line routine which was supposed to look quite well wrote the datas in the bitmap of the logo. but i don't want to slag on all intros as i'm not sure how much time they groups had to finish their intros,
the 'normal' intro-compo was astonishing. some intros looked like demoparts with excellent coding. the 'intro' from rebels was one of the best. but also some others whose names i can't remember had the same quality. one featured raytracing, another 3d-views out of a vehicle driving through a city. i can't say anything about the amiga demo-compo because we were already on our way back to germany when it started. the pc demo-compo was quite good if i consider that the scene on pc is not that large yet. most of the demos contained standard effects like dycps, multiplexing and techtech. only some contained filled vector cubes which were not as good as on amiga or c64 if i look at coma light 8. but i liked most of the demos.
the c64 graphics compo had some really nice pictures, totally about 25. the best ones were from ans/spirit, ivan/smash design and some more. in my view the winning pic was the picture from a gfx-artist from vision, showing a vamp carrying a lady in front of a castle in the moonlight.
in the music competition 14 sounds took part. the music from devilock/x-rated had a good rythm but was not diversified enough to have the number one spot. personally i think that the tune from steel/scs/origo was the best one. at 5 o'clock in the morning the c64 demo-compo was held. totally about 11 groups took part like noice, varsity, trance, oxyron, visual reality, smash design, starion, dunex and some more. the best demo was undoubted coma light 8 from oxyron. the demos from visual reality and starion were good, too. but both did not get spread. starion did not spread it because it seems to become fashion to keep one's demo after the compo. visual reality did not link their demo in time so that they showed the parts separately with a monitor. perhaps people awaited more demos from some elite groups but the demo-compo and the graphics+music competition were of a high standard.
finally i can say that the party was a success. the organization was good, the sound equipment and the big screen made the compos a real enjoyment and the quantity of wares that were released was ok.
Mag Review
review of genetic dreams #16 from tnc
yes.this time the trinomic mag 'genetic dreams' issue 16 which was released in january '93 is going to be reviewed.
the first chapter is as usual the editorial. here we find an excuse for the non-possible-loadingoperation when the 'genetic' logo is not on the screen, information about the new crunching system that they will use next issue, credits and a list of people who supported the mag in some way. the editors have also put the reactions in here. in one reaction the staff is tought that there were double entries in the charts last issue like moz(ic)art/geir tjelta. furthermore there is some text about alpha flight who had a comeback in their view.
the second chapter is the newschapter which is normally the most interesting chapter but in this mag it is not. the reader is informed that somebody in acrise had birthday some days ago. in the following we read that the story about the comeback of alpha flight is a fake. i just wonder why they did not erase the text about afl in the editorial if they knew the truth afterwards. reading on i get bored by either old news or lamer news. only about 5 more or less hot elite news are placed in this chapter. i could not stop laughing when i read the following news:clique claimed that their last issue of script had 2000 blocks of text but trinomic checked it out and found out that clique lied because there were only 1800 blocks of text. congratulation to the editors for printing such a 'news'. do you think anybody cares about that? in order to make the news longer the editors printed numbers of success boards in this chapter. what do you have the boards chapter for?
next chapter are the charts. here we get the prove that the 'editors' did not learn from the reactions. again a double entry:we find geir tjelta on place 14 and moz(ic)art on place 17. in the news chapter we got the old information that 'gamers guide' is back. now in the mag-charts they write the following: "...... gamers guide(dead?). very strange. nothing more to say about this.
the megacharts is the next chapter. but the editors did not even name the mags they got the votes from. i quote:"they were taken from several magazines(?) which i don't remember at the moment." and again double entries like in the previous charts.
now let's load the interviews. they got an interview with anarchy/rsi/5d and tell the readers that "he left the scene" which is of course wrong. i got disappointed when i read exactly the same dull questions as usual in this chapter of genetic dreams. and i died laughing because the staff has probably never heard of grammer in english. i quote:"how do you entered the scene...and how do you come to your current group?" that's what we call germanism. another nice example is: "if you could take a person into your group, which would you let join?" i'm sorry for the two who had to read and answer these questions.
after this i checked out the crack reviews. i flipped through it and saw that there was often only one cracker listed per game which made the 2 chapters totally unobjective. i feel very pitty for the editors because they also listed a cracker called 2dd/alpha flight although they wrote in the news-chapter that afl was just a fake. the staff seemed to be totally confused.
now i loaded the demoreviews-chapter. the first demo review was 'hental mangover' from faces. we get to know from gaylen:"i was a little bit angry, coz i expected a little bit more from a faces-demo..." i'm sure that faces is sorry for gaylen and will next time release a better demo which also pleases him.
the review of the demo "goatland" from noice was very incomplete.
about the intro the editor did not mention the zooming and turning goatland logo before the bitmap scroller appears. to the fractal-part i read the following statement: "nice plotting exemples, but also shown ages ago by other dudes." the typical statement of a lamer who can't code himself but slags on everything. furthermore he forgot to say that the fractals got animated after some time and turned around all axis. another incomplete description is the one about the vector part. the vectors were hidden line!
about the elastic line part he wrote: "looks nice, but i think i have seen something like this before."
he has seen such a routine before!!!! quite amazing to know that. by the way i want to mention that the wrong punctuations in the last quotations are not my fault.
just another quotation about the part with the goat sprite and the swedish flag:"have a closer look at the raster- lines above the logo.theres a bug!!!!! it's a simple part, so such kinds of bugs mustn't be in such parts!!!"
(the amount of exclamation-marks is not changed!) in all the reviews the editor never mentioned the coder, gfx-artist or musician who created the demo. luckily another editor is taking over this chapter in the next issue.
in the film-corner i awaited reviews of new movies but just read two reviews of movies that were already quite old.
the next chapter was named "groningen" and contained a report taken from a crap note(!) which was written at the meeting.
"a. party" was a report about gaylen's new years eve party. this chapter had the highest amount of text. we get to know that gaylen wanted to cut someones dick and play ping pong with his eggs and other shit. gaylen really deserves his name. reading this chapter is a total waste of time.
4 addy chapters give the mag more text. nothing special to say about them.
the following chapter was named "coderippers". it contained a text about ozzy coderippers taken from a note(!) which was written by an australian guy. nothing of interest.
"boards" gave us some information about 2 boards and some news. very short chapter.
happy because i read nearly the hole mag without taking any harm i chose the last chapter called "racism". here i read some nice articles about growing racism in germany. most of the text was again(!) taken from notes.
summary, conclusion and rating of 'genetic dreams #16": the amount of text is ok. but most of the text (reports, ...) is crap and too much text is not selfmade (taken from notes). the reviews lack any objectivity and are incomplete. the news are mostly old or cannot be called 'news'. the questions of the interviews make you bawl.

Music Charts
MUSIC-CHARTS
this whole chapter is written by ...
BIZARRE
hello, my friends !! yes, this is my very first chapter i have ever written in my whole life for any mag, and you surely will like it, especially if you are interested in what's going on in the music scene.
i have sum special music-charts for you, that i compile by myself every week! sum contax of mine already now them, but now finally the whole world can read and enjoy it !
the first charts i give are the so called AIRPLAYCHARTS. for those who don't know: airplay means that a song gets played by the radiostations ! i write down all songs i hear, when i am listening to the radio, and that are all stations that can be listened to in my town bremen !
it contains many stations playing current british hits, e.g bbc radio 1 fm, bfbs or atlantic 252! sadly we have to say goodbye to the good old radio luxemburg international, which was simply the best !
well, and due to all the political change s,, the american forces network (afn) disappeared from the cable net bremen ! so not many american songs will appear in my airplaycharts !
but now let's start with the top 75 this week !
the numbers in ( ) are last week's positions ! a (--) means new-entry; a (xx) means re-entry ! the last number at the right of a line indicates for how long a song has been in that charts !

MG'S CORNER: ISSUE #1
hi pals around the globe! this is mg of trance with a special service for you that you never saw in any diskmag before maybe many mags will copy our idea but be sure that we are the first diskmag ever who got the idea!
no longer be bored by the usual charts, news and rumors that every mag uses to feed you up - this is YOUR corner!
---
if you have questions, problems, difficulties or anything, then write to me, mg, and we'll try to find an answer to your problems, or, if we can't, we will PUBLISH ANYTHING so that the whole scene can help to find a solution! your drive is broken? your keyboard plays mad? your soundchip seems to be dead? DON'T HESISTATE! tell us your problems and we'll publish them here and try to find an answer!

are you looking for a certain game or tool? did your monitor explode? did your girlfriend leave you? don't fool around with your problems! write to mg of trance:

this is my new(!) address! postcard or paper-note is enough! we believe you! -
----------------------------------------
as there are actually no questions, i'll ask one myself:
"i have a c64-2 in the white ergonomic casing, but what i miss are the digisounds. i just think of games like to be on top, turbo-outrun etc. and all the dudes who have the old, brown 64'er can hear the digisounds, but mine are fucking faint, i always have to turn up the volume. what's up?"
---
well, the problem is that commodore installed a new soundchip into the newer models of the c64. you can't refer to the COLOUR, even some brown c64 have the new, BAD soundchip (and some new 64'er have the old, good one) if you can't hear the digisounds on normal loudness, you have to open your c64 and find the soundchip which has the number "8580". (or maybe 8580 r5 or similar). buy a piece of wire and an 1-mega-ohm-potentiometer which you can get from your local electronic shop. you must connect pin 14 (GND) and pin 26 (EXT IN) to the potentiometer.
:
**:*********** here you see which
* * pins i mean!
* 8580 * the pins of an ic
* * are always counted
*************: anti-clockwise!
1 5 1 :
0 14make sure not to over-heat the sid with your soldering-iron. a potentiometer has three pins. you can cut away the left or the right pin, coz you won't need it. you only need the middle-pin and the left or right one.
probably your soundchip is into a socket but you needn't pull it out there. just solder at the visible pins, but beware of shorting the ic! if you are afraid of doing the job yourself, refer to authorized personnel.
if you did everything ok, then you are now able to tune the volume of the digisounds. if you turn them 100% on, the "normal" music will be unhearable and you can only listen to the digis. you must tune the digi-volume for each game individually, so better drill a hole into your computer and build the potentiometer into the computer.
GOOD LUCK!

i hope that i will get some of YOUR questions for the next issue(s), so here is the address for all your problems (postcard is enough):
