Gate was a finnish based demo group.
1990 - When Image was formed 06/90, finnish graphician and swapper Der HM
joined them from Vision One. In december most of the finnish and Norwegian
sections joined Anarchy, and Gate died. Wraith was their previous leader,

review: Cool! For a megademo from 1990, this is not bad at all. Theres
several stars-to-be appearing here. Bruno became big, Golem did good
later on... It opens with an animation 3 frames : of a monk opening
a Gate, before the text Gate Megademo II is overlayed. The loader part
is unspectacular, just a Golem picture with a priest and the GMDII text.
The first part is the BOB-part. 16col animated bobs flying around to a
cool tune by Griffin. Not a bad opening at all! Great for its time.

Genesis was an illegal cracker group based in the UK, who were born by
Scott, Action Man and Mr.E from Oracle and N.O.M.A.D and Infiltrator from
Scoopex in september 1990 . They did a few releases in cooperation with
Angels and Defjam.
I guess when three of their crackers N.O.M.A.D, Mr.E and I.B.M and one
important sysop Scott, DULCET TONES joined Angels which was one of the
groups they were in cooperation with late 1990 it was all pretty much over.

uninspired soundtrack aside, the main showcase here are the effects.
Most notable is a morphing/bitmap manipulation routine thats really
good. Other cool effects are a standard voxel landscape and a plasma

Gods was originally a French demo group, which also eventually got good
divisions in Norway and Germany. The group died around march 1998, as a
result of several very important members leaving. First Sixpack left for
Haujobb, then German swapper, trader, packer and sysop of their WHQ LOS
ENDOS, Ghandy ex Bonzai Brothers, late96-early97, decided to end his
double membership to a Darkage-only member. Next Caramel left the group,
with no certain destination, and English trader Lithium ex Eltech, new
late96 left the scene. After their death was a fact, English graphician
Wade ex Eltech, new late96 joined Nerve Axis. XBarr has, though it was
stated so elsewhere, not left the scene. He has however, most probably begun
working as a coder on the PC rather than for the Amiga anymore. I believe he
is now in Syndrome on the pc.

1995 - German musician The Loop left for Artwork in december.
1996 - In april Xanth was kicked out of the French section, and they
announced that Wilsh was never a member since they dont allow doublemembs
anymore. French graphician Geist 06/96 left to be a Balance only member
late in the year. News in Ethics X-Files 11 11/96 that Ghandy and

code: Zytrox, gfx: Bridgeclaw, music: Eagle.
review: AFGM doesnt have the most impressive coding in the world, and I
really dont like the music in this one either... It gives a cold,
clinical feel for some reason, and I can in no way manage to be moved by
the dire opening sequence. After a few gods - presents - screens, we
arrive at the main menu. This is in monochrome, with the thumbnailed
pictures choosable by mouse. You can also choose to run through all the
pictures in a slideshow mode, if you wish. Another thing that annoys me
about this slideshow is the fact that the pictures only stay on the screen
for a few seconds, far too little time to get a proper impression of their
quality I personally had to view several pictures more than once to get
a good look, and I much prefer a system where it doesnt return to the
menu before you press a mouse button. After all, slideshows are supposed
to be about the art, and it really is a problem when you cannot get the
time to properly view the art. Its like if a gallery opens its doors, and
then the guards push you back out after 15 seconds Simplistic code
just music and a graphics shower, thats all and unengaging music aside,
this slideshow is still worth getting for the pictures. Even if the
quality is uneven, there are still gems like Warrior and Future Title
to savour...
There are 12 pictures to choose from on the main menu, and were going
to go through them one by one. Pitstop Title 64c is not one of his
best, with unrealistic anatomy and hair for a lying-down female, and a
real lame PITSTOP logo. Illusionia 64c is much better, a dreamy
picture of a girls face seemingly suspended in the air. Much better hair
on this picture. Levelling The Land 128c is a picture of a middleaged
mans face. Again the proportions of the face are a little off, though the
picture displays a sharer style than in the previous two. The hair looks
unnatural here too. Warrior 64c contains a female cartoon-style
warrior and a vertical DISC logo, and was probably used as a title picture
for DISC 9. This is the best picture yet, as Bridgeclaw seemingly masters
the semi-cartoon style much better. Nothing to remark on the full-body
proportions, excellent. Maldi 64c is another facial portrait, this
time of a smiling black guy. Again, the proportions of the face are way
off, nothing much else to remark about this one. Monster 64c is the
least impressive of all the pictures included, and looks like an early
sketch for an abandoned picture. No Aloha 64c is yet another facial
portrait, and this one looks a lot like actor Kevin Spacey to me... but I
may be mistaken. In fact, it resembles Levelling The Land more than just
a little. Good Old 64c is a strange portrait, of a strange man... It
shows improved technique, and an almost believable facial proportion we
can excuse a few glitches here, since this is clearly not the face of a
normal person. The God 64c has a great gothic GODS logo suspended
over a straight-on diabolical face with an evil grin... Steel 64c
is a cyber-woman rendition, of the kind made popular by a Japanese artist
whose name I cant quite remember right now... ...damn! Well, anyway,
its a female robot breastsnall, and Im sure most of you know what
kind Im talking about. The Curse 128c is a much more complete picture
than most of the others here, again employing a cartoon style, not unlike
what was done for Warrior. Among the best pictures in this slide. The
final picture is also the best of the collection Future Title 64c.
This, in a rare departure from his usual people-dominated pictures,
depicts a spaceship in duh! space... It clearly shows Bridgeclaws
progression as an artist, and serves as the perfect conclusion for an
otherwise uneven slideshow.
After clicking the icon for the endpart, we get another little picture
with a GODS logo in the background, with an upscroller running over it.
The entire slideshow ran without a glitch from floppy on my configuration.

review: Overall, I didnt find Energy too exciting. Large portions of

with this kind of machine power. Also other effects tend to jerk along a
little, creating an unfinished feel to the production.
Highlights definitely include the stairwell at the conclusion of the
demo, with its bumpmapped walls and envmapped handles : Other highlights
were the two excellent pictures by Typhoon and Bridgeclaw, though the
latter looked like it had some raytracing in there...amazingly enough,
when you consider the motive! Probably requires some fast. glenn

review: Cool! For a megademo from 1990, this is not bad at all. Theres
several stars-to-be appearing here. Bruno became big, Golem did good
later on... It opens with an animation 3 frames : of a monk opening
a Gate, before the text Gate Megademo II is overlayed. The loader part
is unspectacular, just a Golem picture with a priest and the GMDII text.
The first part is the BOB-part. 16col animated bobs flying around to a
cool tune by Griffin. Not a bad opening at all! Great for its time.

of good graphics for Crusaders, a.o. in the Eurochart.

uninspired soundtrack aside, the main showcase here are the effects.
Most notable is a morphing/bitmap manipulation routine thats really
good. Other cool effects are a standard voxel landscape and a plasma

Gods was originally a French demo group, which also eventually got good
divisions in Norway and Germany. The group died around march 1998, as a
result of several very important members leaving. First Sixpack left for
Haujobb, then German swapper, trader, packer and sysop of their WHQ LOS
ENDOS, Ghandy ex Bonzai Brothers, late96-early97, decided to end his
double membership to a Darkage-only member. Next Caramel left the group,
with no certain destination, and English trader Lithium ex Eltech, new
late96 left the scene. After their death was a fact, English graphician
Wade ex Eltech, new late96 joined Nerve Axis. XBarr has, though it was
stated so elsewhere, not left the scene. He has however, most probably begun
working as a coder on the PC rather than for the Amiga anymore. I believe he
is now in Syndrome on the pc.
Check out Bridgeclaws homepage http://members.xoom.com/bridgeclaw/ for
some amazing pieces of art! Just CHECK out his latest work, seems like

1995 - German musician The Loop left for Artwork in december.
1996 - In april Xanth was kicked out of the French section, and they
announced that Wilsh was never a member since they dont allow doublemembs
anymore. French graphician Geist 06/96 left to be a Balance only member

A Few Good Men - A Little Slideshow 1995, 04.06, AGA Multif. Slideshow.
code: Zytrox, gfx: Bridgeclaw, music: Eagle.
review: AFGM doesnt have the most impressive coding in the world, and I
really dont like the music in this one either... It gives a cold,
clinical feel for some reason, and I can in no way manage to be moved by
the dire opening sequence. After a few gods - presents - screens, we
arrive at the main menu. This is in monochrome, with the thumbnailed
pictures choosable by mouse. You can also choose to run through all the
pictures in a slideshow mode, if you wish. Another thing that annoys me
about this slideshow is the fact that the pictures only stay on the screen
for a few seconds, far too little time to get a proper impression of their
quality I personally had to view several pictures more than once to get
a good look, and I much prefer a system where it doesnt return to the
menu before you press a mouse button. After all, slideshows are supposed
to be about the art, and it really is a problem when you cannot get the
time to properly view the art. Its like if a gallery opens its doors, and
then the guards push you back out after 15 seconds Simplistic code
just music and a graphics shower, thats all and unengaging music aside,
this slideshow is still worth getting for the pictures. Even if the
quality is uneven, there are still gems like Warrior and Future Title
to savour...
There are 12 pictures to choose from on the main menu, and were going
to go through them one by one. Pitstop Title 64c is not one of his
best, with unrealistic anatomy and hair for a lying-down female, and a
real lame PITSTOP logo. Illusionia 64c is much better, a dreamy
picture of a girls face seemingly suspended in the air. Much better hair
on this picture. Levelling The Land 128c is a picture of a middleaged
mans face. Again the proportions of the face are a little off, though the
picture displays a sharer style than in the previous two. The hair looks
unnatural here too. Warrior 64c contains a female cartoon-style
warrior and a vertical DISC logo, and was probably used as a title picture
for DISC 9. This is the best picture yet, as Bridgeclaw seemingly masters
the semi-cartoon style much better. Nothing to remark on the full-body
proportions, excellent. Maldi 64c is another facial portrait, this
time of a smiling black guy. Again, the proportions of the face are way
off, nothing much else to remark about this one. Monster 64c is the
least impressive of all the pictures included, and looks like an early
sketch for an abandoned picture. No Aloha 64c is yet another facial
portrait, and this one looks a lot like actor Kevin Spacey to me... but I
may be mistaken. In fact, it resembles Levelling The Land more than just
a little. Good Old 64c is a strange portrait, of a strange man... It
shows improved technique, and an almost believable facial proportion we
can excuse a few glitches here, since this is clearly not the face of a
normal person. The God 64c has a great gothic GODS logo suspended
over a straight-on diabolical face with an evil grin... Steel 64c
is a cyber-woman rendition, of the kind made popular by a Japanese artist
whose name I cant quite remember right now... ...damn! Well, anyway,
its a female robot breastsnall, and Im sure most of you know what
kind Im talking about. The Curse 128c is a much more complete picture
than most of the others here, again employing a cartoon style, not unlike
what was done for Warrior. Among the best pictures in this slide. The
final picture is also the best of the collection Future Title 64c.
This, in a rare departure from his usual people-dominated pictures,
depicts a spaceship in duh! space... It clearly shows Bridgeclaws
progression as an artist, and serves as the perfect conclusion for an
otherwise uneven slideshow.
After clicking the icon for the endpart, we get another little picture
with a GODS logo in the background, with an upscroller running over it.
The entire slideshow ran without a glitch from floppy on my configuration.

Jurassic Pack 4 1996, late, 020+ ECS Multifile Diskmag.
code: Zytrox, gfx: Bridgeclaw, others, music: Jurassic Morning by Coma/
Three Little Elks.
review: Im sorry, but Im rather unimpressed by Gods mag. What bugs me
the most actually, is how much POTENTIAL there is here, and how little
has been made of it. The interviews had so much going for them to be
interesting, but fail. Just to think what an editor like Mop could have
done to these articles... This just plain and simple doesnt have the
edge thats required to be great.
Why on earth it demands a 020 or faster is totally beyond me, since it
doesnt contain ANYTHING new that mags in 1990 didnt have. Weve seen it
before oh so many times... glenn

Not even the intro, provided by Darkage, is very interesting. glenn

5th in The Gathering 95/11th in the Mekka Symposium 1997 demo competition.
review: Overall, I didnt find Energy too exciting. Large portions of
the opening is made up of vectors, which should have been a lot smoother
with this kind of machine power. Also other effects tend to jerk along a
little, creating an unfinished feel to the production.
Highlights definitely include the stairwell at the conclusion of the
demo, with its bumpmapped walls and envmapped handles : Other highlights
were the two excellent pictures by Typhoon and Bridgeclaw, though the
latter looked like it had some raytracing in there...amazingly enough,
when you consider the motive! Probably requires some fast. glenn

With one small, funny, little production they seem to poke their nose at
everything thats currently hot and cool on the amigascene! Especially
the system tester was great fun, with its post-calculating after the
intro was over...! I wont spoil MB for you, just recommend you download
it...and when it stops doing anything and theres just the box on the
screen, move your mouse. Be careful not to break it : Recommended.
You didnt really expect me to give a bad review to a production
