Facets Pussy was formed as a subgroup of Desire by Ramon B5, ThD and Sacha
from the Dutch section of Desire itself. They later recruited more members
from the mother group, like the two germans Chaos! and Kernal.
Dutchman Rotox later known as Infant was a member for two and a half
years. His next group was Essence, and its probable that he changed his
handle to Infant when he made the move.

review: 4 disks are a bit hefty for this, but I assume the raytraced
opening animation stole at least two of them. After the animation of a
spaceship flying through space, were treated to a fast-paced demo with
good-looking effects and a thumping techno soundtrack. I usually hate
these techno things, but this ones far from the worst I have heard.
I can see how this won a party its fast, fun, and looks good.
The effects are a little on the outdated front, though - texturemapped
cubes and stretching zoom-rotators dominate. glenn

review: With a very styled introduction consisting of interesting ideas
for design and bombastic sound starts this huge but one of the best
slideshows I had the pleasure to watch. Including several musics for
intro-, show- and selectorpart is this more than a normal picture
collection with selector! 14 pieces of pixelart - most not released before
and a few party ones - made on his own by Unreal and two copied. With very
impressive and alive backgrounds like on Sanction and mostly mystic
elements and figures especially dragons and a lot of colors with partly
special lighteffects like the background of the faculty logo in the
intropart he creates a fantastic world of tales and imaginations. After
the show you are able to click through a well-styled selector, with
colored previews and a golden greetings part, to find every ever so small
information you need to know about the pictures and some more texts by the
graphician. Why he made it and words concerning the process and so on.
Only negative is that all of them are in interlace modus and after you
read some interesting stuff your eyes begin slowly to hurt. Also the
selector music could be a bit slower for a more relaxing walk through the
gallery! Conclusion??? Watch it!!!! Only some intro clips look a bit ugly
but the rest is simply brilliant. My favourite trips to Phantasia are:
Freeborn and Smaug above Esgorath, a very good copy! Also Morfeum
is very nice! A better big clip, but as cute that I would kiss it...

Note: NEUROBASHING was closed 12/94, though its uncertain whether
it was in FLT at the time...
FLT is almost as old as the C64 scene is, and has always been one of the
big crews. They were formed inn 1987 by Black Shadow, who for quite some
time worked on both platforms. He was joined by the other original founder
of FLT on the C64 in february 1988, Strider. They used to be a multipurpose
group, with both cracking and demo activities. Now they have a demo
division Virtual Dreams to take care of that part of the operation. Also,
several of them have branched onto the PC. FLT is now basically a company,
selling console copiers and the like, but with strong scene roots. Strider
has since moved to Belgium, and then San Diego, California, USA, but Ive
still got him registered in Sweden, since thats where most of his scene
activities occured.
1990 was a year with cracks done by several guys, including veteran
Exolon, Onyx and Dave. Some cracks were even done by Allah from Kuwait,
but this was probably just one of the regular guys working under a
pseudonym. Swedish coder Celebrandil ex Northstar, new 1989-12/89 joined
Phenomena sometime this year.
1991 - This would be the year Gaston did all the cracks. Exolon and The
Black Shadow remained on the memberlist, but did not crack anything.
Supplying was mostly handled by Splatt! and Drone No:5 who by the end of
the year was mysteriously not on the memberlist any longer... with the
occasional game from JBM, Luke Chuck, Stik and Stone. Towards the end of
the year 11 or 12/91 FLATLINERS lost its WHQ status, but Pizzaman remained
on the memberlist did he close?. The new WHQ was APOCALYPSE, sysopped by
POW new 10/91. Among the members that came and went were Stone supply,
08/91 and Stik supply, 08/91. Tigers Italian BBS ICC BBS was listed
09-10/91, but only his name and not the board 11-12/91...
1992 - The groups WHQ BBS APOCALYPSE and its sysop POW new 10/92
stepped down in may, to concentrate on the PC and console scenes. Shortly
after, he left the group entirely and joined Ministry. The new WHQ became
MIRAGE and its sysop Big Boss.
The board BRAINDEAD left/was kicked.
The board DANSE MACABRE joined Dynamix.

rejoined three times, among others to Ministry RAW4 and TRSI!
German Chuck changed handle to Evil Death and joined the new Angels RAW5.

and RAW4 was published late 92...
English sysop Kitaro MILLENNIA, ex Alpha Flight, 05/92-09/93 joined
2000 AD, but later left for Skid Row with a few others. It seems
he later returned, since I have him verified in FLT 10/93...

Faith was an illegal cracking group formed by germans Gandalf and Oliver
Stoned previously in Paranoimia in 1993. The two divided the groups
activities up between them after a while Oliver Stoned taking care of the
pc section, while Gandalf was responsible for the amiga and consoles. Later
Oliver Stoned joined TRSI with the entire Faith group, a situation that
worked thus: They released the English or international versions of games
through TRSI, and the german version under the Faith label.
1994 - After The Party 93 in december of last year, Gandalf changed his
handle to Ghandy and changed his focus from illegal activities to the
demoscene. Faith died as a group in early 94 probably when they joined
forces with Progress to create the new group Scandal.

production with the help of coder Magician Lord/Axis in january of 1991.
After the release of the Sinus Intro, Falon merged with a Danish group
organized by swapper Dr.Poison Jan Jorgenson and renamed to Ozone.
Unfortunately, this group lasted for only one day ! before all members
joined the UK-based demo group The Lunatics. This did not last long either,
as after just one week the danish division decided to leave the Lunatics and
restart their original group before the merger with Falon.

review: H2 is a fast-paced c2p-style demo, though this one has more old
fashioned texture mapping than phong- and envmapping. There are some nice
routines, with an elastic tunnel ride a highlight, but most of it is a
little blocky. Other routines worth mentioning are a moving lightsource
shining down on a star that consequently cast a shadow, and two spacecut,
z-buf shaded toruses. Docs picture of a seal springing from a mans head
and the text Hate 2 is the only handpixelled graphics in the demo, the
rest is all rendered. The music shows promise as an uptempo dance demo
tune, but ultimately lacks in punch and edge. In the end, this suffers
from what almost all object demos suffer from, a lack of soul...and the
almost all-rendered graphics doesnt make it better. A good, alive tune
and decent graphics can save a demo like this...but it doesnt save this
one. The palette on the z-buffer part is way too dark. The endscroller
can be paused with the right mouse button.

review: I was quite astounded when viewing this intro from a group Id
never even heard of before, and finding it to be totally excellent!
It opens with a convincing flame effect in a small box in the middle of
the screen. Then the introtext is flashed in flames, before we go on to
some fractal images waving, still in the same box.
Next, the entire screen is used for a bouncing texturemapped cube,
bouncing in front of and behind the animated background pillars! This
looks very nice, and the cube is soon relieved by a more complex object.
Next was something else I hadnt expected a fast phong torus, with
motionblur! It was far less commonplace with advanced routines like
phong back in 1995. A few other, less interesting effects follow,
including one with a picture of Al Bundy next to it, for no apparent
reason : Very very nice... when are these guys going to do a demo?

review: The intro opens with a Floppy logo, before a relief bump routine
where we travel around the bump and credits appear on top appear. The
light also changes color several times. This is followed by a blurry
tunnel, before a phong-spring is overlaid... and then things take a nice
turn for the stylish as the bump routine is back again, but this time it
also spins while everything is going on... And then another logo by
Fame, this time saying Unanimiter, and were done. glenn

review: Its the usual story, with phong objects and bumpmapping galore
and not much else. Personally Im getting sick of these 3D-object-
marathon demoes. All that changes from demo to demo, it seems, are the
objects. The code remains the same, and usually the music does too.
This is technically impressive, but not very interesting for the
casual viewer. Perhaps itll give some coders a hard-on, but thats about
the extent of it. Requires some fast, though Im not sure how much.

review: There will be no review of this demo, for the simple fact that it
refuses to work on my system it gurus every time. At first I thought it
was some program I had loaded that the demo didnt like, but booting
without startup-sequence didnt help matters either. It always crashes
with an illegal instruction guru, ...0004 or ...0006. On closer
inspection of the accompanying text file, I believe the problem is that
this demo requires an FPU! Anyone with a suitable machine that can
review this for me?
Its a filedemo alright, but the file is almost 4MB big : Although
itll work depends on your setup with an 020+ processor, an 040 at
25Mhz is the recommended machine! glenn

Deport 1997, 05.04, AGA HD Multifile.
code: Zig, gfx: Def, Fame, music: Revisq.
review: Short and oh so sweet, Deport is filled with a few, well
polished effects rather than lots of half finished ones, which is all too
common. The speed of these routines are really suited to impress,
especially the 3D lightwave scene and the speedy, greatlooking tunnels
towards the end. Revisqs soundtrack avoids the all too common techno
tune, in favour of a powerful percussion-based track which really adds a
lot to the demo. Fames graphics are OK, but nothing special.
I do not know whether this requires any fast mem. When I clicked the
left mouse button to exit at the end, I was presented with a guru.
The demo was released at a small, internal meeting dubbed the BUZ
Party held 04-06.97, and visited by Zig organizer, Def, Flapjack/

review: Mighty Floppy demo team again developed very good presentation. In
this production well see how chemical boosters can influence on sceners
minds. Narco vision is coded in ham8, low-res resolution and eats lot of
CPU time. Demo starts with blackwhite photos from white powders
breathing in probably it isnt a meal for sure . After while we can
see a kind of naked vectors but motion blured tunnel which with
agressive sounds accompaniment become 2D texture tunnel in a splits
second. All sequence seems to be a entering outworld procedure. And
boom! Goalike module hits your ears and show begins! What we have here?
Plenty of well designed 2D effects which looks wonderful with all the
lights and moving transparent textures. Some procedures are breathtaking
and its hard to believe that theyre calculated in 2D! Every watcher is
on trip with creators of this artpiece. At the end we hear dresiarski
voice speaking Floppys motto: You get what you deserve and endscroll
appears. Interesting is fact that we can see here a photos of demomakers.
Maq, Def and X-Ceed made a really good demo, only its sad that
astonishing feelings are destroyed by codes slowness.
Sure, every kid want to taste white powder now, am i right? But before
start to fly try to think - demo is only a demo and you can easily turn
off your amee in every moment. From other hand i must admit that when im
looking at Floppys product its very hard to do it... kempy

running, I dove into this old pentium cabinet Ive got here normally
running Red Hat Linux , and quickly extracted a 32mb SIMM. Plugged it
in, tried the demo again... and now it crashed. Two more tries and Im
giving up. Likely this requires and FPU or possibly even PPC, but no
system requirements are anywhere to be seen in the accompanying info file.

think they could squeeze much else out of it, then. I was wrong.
This is a one screen intro, with just a small section in the middle
changing to accomodate the effects. There are really only two effects in
the intro, a zoomrotator and a voxel routine, but both are well executed.
I liked this, if nothing else then for the novelty of the music : glenn

Frantic is a Finland based demo group, born in may of 1990. Their first
production was released in november of the same year. There were two quite

proposal, but that fell through. The two groups then went into a rivalry,
meaning harsh words were exchanged in their productions. The resolution to
this is unknown at present. As I did not intially know of this, some

review: This intro was made to announce the new Danish section of
Frantic, and is very typical of its time. At the top of the screen is an
ok logo, with the letters having cracks in them, like they were cast in
stone. The rest of the screen is divided up with two small bars, and the
action takes place between these two. Mostly its a vector-text-vector-
text affair, with the only diversion being the concluding straight
greetings scroller. Not very exciting, Im afraid. The intro has no
exit routine whatsoever, but the text screens can be skipped with the
right mousebutton. Almost certainly not released at a party. glenn

other, shooting at each others cars. The good guys Fraxion finally
blow the head of one of their assailers, and then activate their anti-
gravity kit to fly into space... The rest is just scrollers and text.
Anyway, nicely executed. The music is NICE chiptunes, by the master of
Future Composing: Keo. Coolness doesnt even start. Unfortunately, the
demo does not contain any other release date than the year. glenn

review: A slideshow of scanned Boris Vallejo pictures, sharing the common
thread that theyre all mythology-related. The pictures are mainly
interesting for seeing the original images some of the finest hand
pixelled art ever was based on. The best thing about this slideshow, I
suppose, is the intro, which is rather good actually. The music and
graphics especially stands out as worthwile. Since this is a slideshow,
theres not much graphics to speak about. glenn

Future Visions 1990, Slideshow.
code: Big Red, gfx: Hoaxer logos, pictures, Lonewolf digitizing,
music: Mortal Souls and Activate by Keo ProTracker MOD format.
review: The name of this slidshow made promises the production couldnt
hold up. No future visions, only a few handmade pictures that surely look
fine in real life, but because of the bad quality of the digitizing, this
show is more a disaster than a vision...
And again princesses, monsters and other fantasy motives with many
natural snapshots are dominating this slide made by the legendary Future
Designs Crew. A few sci-fi objects and some militaries are also to be
found in the eight pictures ONLY, handmade by Hoaxer and digitized by
Lonewolf afterwards. Most of them have a fantastic and mystic atmosphere
and I am really interested to see the originals, but its though not worth
to watch it twice! Only for VERY nostalgic sceners, who loves to read
scrolltexts. The only positive aspect for a computer production is the
preferences menu.
A little hint: Try to start it when everything is enabled on a A1200
and you will see some nice not planned? effects. At least I saw them
with my hardware! zito

Freedom Force was an international demo group, likely formed around 1988.
Their main driving force in the early days were finnish coder and graphician
Lucifer. They also released a demopack series called Swingdisk, and the
first disks came out around 1988.
1988 - After At least four demos in two months, concluding with Megademo
Advertising, the group started out as one of the more productive ones of
its time, despite seemingly only having one active coder.
1990 - Nothing appearead from the group at first this year, with the
groups main efforts going into the Megademo 03/89 which was released at
The Gang, Zyx and Amiga Lords party in swden at the beginning of march. A
memberlist published in the demo revealed some changes since that last one,
published five months before Sagon was gone, while Pink Panther and
McCursor were new members in Denmark musician Blair Zupicich was new in New
Zealand Roly was new in Germany Nucleus was new in England and norwegian
Dynamo was new in Norway. He later left for System 5 around july.

Fresh Prince
Fresh Prince was never a complete group, just one coder who happened to
not be in any group at the time. His intro McIntro must surely be the
most successful non-group production ever, coming in second at the
prestigious The Party in 1994. Rebels took notice and recruited the Danish
coder just days after his success was a fact.

names appear in the intro is a polished and cool effort from lone coder
Fresh Prince. As far as I know, this is the only thing he released on his
own. Cool music. glenn

vector-animations that it shows in the background, usually cogwheels and
the like. The overall effect is very good, coupled with a palette the
changes for each effect, and a transparent PRESTIGE logo in the bottom
right corner. Music is an ok chippy.
The year of release is present in the executable, but unfortunatly in
roman numerals, which I dont know enough about to discover the real
date... Anyway, if anyone can help, its MCMXCV. glenn
