ICE was formed by the four Norwegian ex-LSD members Howard music, Nash
music, Archie code and Alien code. These four would later move on to
join Legend, which probably meant the end of the group. There was also a
german section based out of the city of Bremen. The group or the section?
vanished after a cooperation with the group The Dark Demon. Thanks to Judge
for some information.

Illusion was a shortlived all-swedish group formed by Colorbird and Schitzo
from Alcatraz in the middle of 1993. The group died towards the late part
of the year after the release of their promising Waterproof 11/93 demo.
Colorbird decided to reform the group Razor 1911, and after a while most of
the members of Illusion also wound up in that group. There are/were at least
three different groups called Illusion.

review: Not bad this demo from the mostly later new Razor 1911 members.
The techno musics suitably groovy, some effects are cool, and the
graphics are functional... It leaves you with a general feeling of being
slightly above average.
On the A1200, it recognizes the faster processor, but claims Im
running with an ECS chipset : Anyway, all effects are stonkingly fast on
the 030. Compatibility rules... glenn

Illusion was a German/Polish demo group. Most of the member information
above is from a memberlist in Haujobbs Friendchip 1 12/96 diskmag.
There are/were three different groups called Illusion.
1996 - Haujobbs Friendchip 1 12/96 reported that Lenny Dee joined
Artwork, but only a few days later decided to leave the scene.
1997 - Artworks Generation 24 04/97 reported that germans Evrimsson
music, 11/96 and Grace code, 11/96 both left to join Crux Design, that
germans Acryl gfx, triplememb Acme and Session, 12/96, Cyclone gfx,
07/96 and Jazz music left, and that polish MTC music, 08/95 joined
Erotic Design. Cyclone joined Abyss 10/96. He did graphics for the Haujobb

Ace 1995, 30.08, 64k Intro.
code: Imsal, gfx: Rych, music: MTC.
Released for the Intel Outside 95 64k intro competition.
review: This opens good, with promising design and some lines flying at
us...then they have to spoil it all by holding onto the effect WAY too
long : The rest of the few effects are quickly over once it gets going,
and youre left with a feeling of is that all? Different pacing could
perhaps have given this a lot. The 80 face mirrored vector object and
the mans outline walking across the logo are still moments of niceness
though. The music is good, and Rychs Ace logo is not bad either.
Conclusion: shows a lot of potential, but will need a little time to
bring it to the surface. glenn

Walhalla 1996, 03.11, AGA HD File Slideshow.
code: Grace, gfx: Odin, music: Evrimsson. Released at Saturne IV.
review: Walhalla bears every mark of a production released too early.
The code contains bugs fucked up Walhalla logo, and there are other
mistakes one of the thumbnails does not correspond with the actual
picture. Speaking about the pictures themselves, I must say that Odin
was perhaps not ready to helm his first slideshow. My advice would have
been to wait a few months, and make a few more pictures, then release
your BEST work on ONE disk. As it stands, there are three rather ok
pictures here, and the rest is not really up to an acceptable standard.
Odin needs to work a little more with his technique and his anatomy
studies. Some of your women look a little strange : Still, there are
some glimpses of what might become something... Keep practising.
Evrimssons module is not bad, and the code is almost nonexistant.

here, in an AmigaDOS window and with ascii chars... Or perhaps not.
I cant quite shake the feeling that the DOS part is just as fake as the
one in Andromedas D.O.S 04/92. You cant backdrop or resize the
window in any way, hmm... Well, what can I say? Morphs a fine ascii
artist, the coding is clever, and the music is rather cool...DOWNLOAD!

Next is a nice routine, in which a line vector cube mutates quite
heavily as it crashes into the walls of the 4 walls its confined to. Next
up is postage stamp-size, SLOW fractal zoomer and then a fake ending leads
up to the final effect - three different keftales animations on a single
screen and the text IMPACT DK - VI HAR SPIST CHOCOLADEN hence the
name!. I have no idea where this was entered in a competition : glenn

Impulse was born in october 1992 on the initiative of Mr.Pixel, on the ashes
of the Hungarian Fi-Re Crew. Among the first members were also EFT and
Rendall. Their first two productions were both released in december, First
Intro at Bash 3 and Welcome Intro.
1993 - In 1993, new members joined in Norway, Sweden, UK, Italy, Spain
and Austria. A few intros were released, but all other divisions soon
became inactive, and by the end of 1994, they were all gone. Their first
non-intro production was released at the Southern Party 93, the combined
slideshow and musicdisk Art Go 07/93.
1994 - A year of silence followed, before Mr.Pixel, the only remaining
original member, put together the Hungarian-only configuration that would be
the crew until their death in 1997. The only thing to get released in 94 was
the Alive 03/94 file demo at Cache. EFT released the game Reunion
through Grand Slam.
1995 - They released the Scenest Invitation a party for which they were
coarrangers in march, and that was all that got released this year. The
party itself was held in may. They worked hard on releasing their demo
Voyage In Storm for The Party 95, but it proved impossible. EFT released
the game Super Street Fighter II Turbo for GameTek.
1996 - After the disappointment of not being able to release Voyage In
Storm 01/96 at The Party, they simply released it anyway in january, out
of party. The demo was a huge success, but not as big as their second demo
of the year, Muscles 08/96! An enclosed news file for the demo announced
that Gato swap had joined, that Beast gfx had joined from Majic 12 and
that Psycho sysop and S.L.O raytrace were kicked.
1997 - The group died in july after releasing their final two intros,
Kenguru v1.0 03/97, Symposium 97 and Kenguru v2.0 04/97, Scenest 97.
The reasons were many, but among them were Rendalls leaving for Mystic, and
Mr.Pixel, Gato, S.L.O and Norbys inactivity on the amiga. EFT code, Beast
gfx, new 08/96, Soldier 03/97 and Lord sysop NUMBER OF THE BEAST,
08/96 formed a new group called Kangooroo.
Hungarian graphician Rendall left to join Mystic in 97. Rendall is not only
one of the best Hungarian painters along with Beast, but also one of the
original members of Impulse, having been a member since 1992. Impulse was
his first scene group.
Hungarian raytracer Norby 08/96 left the scene late 96.

review: Surprise of the year! I came in expecting nothing, and was blown
away! The demo opens with an introduction picture by Thomas. The picture
is excellent, and features a bridge ascending into the skies. Then the
music starts, and we get a texturemapped Impulse logo followed by three
drawn logos, VOYAGE - IN - STORM. Next up is a vector cube with a ripple
effect texture-mapped to each of the sides, which soon changes to
rotating pictures. Next up is a cool Impulse logo, with a phonged torus
in front. Then theres credits, timed to the music, before were taken on
a ride through an amazingly fast tunnel texturemapped. About halfway
through, the music changes from techno to a more mellow kind of tune, and
a dot-cube is added to the middle of the screen. Were then treated to
another phonged object before a raytraced picture. What comes next only
last for about 3 seconds, but is one of the most amazing pieces in the
demo! Its a brief travel thru space, with planets and stuff... GREAT!
Then, were on to one of the best voxel routines I have ever seen! Its
1x1, smooth, with a great, blue sky. After a while, they add some
raytraced chinese characters scrolling up on the left hand side of the
screen beating Andromedas raytraced scroller in Nexus 7 12/94
easily!, and FEMALE VOCALS TO THE MUSIC! The experience is really
awesome, and I had to turn off my stereo and watch the demo a second time
to be sure I had heard correctly. Then were shown a GREAT dragon-and-
sorcerer picture by Rendall, and another raytraced pic, with wine glasses
and the cool Impulse logo from before. Then, finally, we reached the
endpart... Its got a ripple effect very similar to the one on the cube
in the beginning - only fullscreen - and an up-scroller for messages and
creds. What is best about the endpart, though, is the music. Its a sort
of folk-tune with a flute, and a great piece of melody. Throughout the
demo, Mr.Pixels music is always functional - and in places excellent.
Youd be mad not to download this - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Now go away - Im
gonna turn down the lights and watch it JUST ONE MORE TIME...
Please be advised that the review refers to the version with the fixed
mainfile found in STORMFIX.LHA on AmiNet. glenn

review: Muscles. Oh yes, if theres anything this demo has lots of, then
its just Muscles! Brimming from end to end with smooth, powerful
effects, fabulous graphics and a catchy techno soundtrack, this ones just
SO close to perfect... The effects are imaginative, goodlooking and not
least FAST! Design is another strong point, with design elements that
never get in the way of the action, and near perfect blending between
coding and bitmap graphics. The env and phong routines here also deserve a
special mention, with LARGE objects that look absolutely gorgeous. Do I
really need to go on? In an unusually strong year for demos, Muscles is
certainly among the top 3 of the year. Beasts fullscreen picture is
Fish 3rd at Assembly that that year, while Rendalls is Useless To

simultaneously to the IO party and the AntIQ party in Hungary.

short but extremely sweet dilemma and chose the latter. Not that Im
complaining, Im all for sweetness!

music. The design is what I guess makes this one any special...

the viewer from various parts of the screen. The background has some sort
of colorcycling effect, but it doesnt look too good. Everything here
seems to use some kind of smoothing, which looks perhaps a little like
what Virtual Dreams used in 242, only smoother. Short is ok if its
also sweet, but this isnt, really. Its more of an aftertaste thing :
This is not terribly interesting, but didnt really deserve to end up
dead last either... glenn

07/96, NME Tue B. Petersen, mainorg gfx swap, old handle N.N., RAW
Finn Nielsen, code swap, RFC Rune Friis Clausen, gfx swap.
Insanity was formed by N.N later NME, RAW and RFC in 1991 or 1992 noone
really remembers, Hille told me D, and was a purely danish group. They
were part of the demoscene, but never really released anything except small
tools. There were at least two other Insanity groups, from Australia and
Norway, but they had nothing to do with each other. The group is now in
hibernate mode, with no
members still active on the scene, but with an option to perhaps return one
day... Thanks to Hille for information!
1993 - At the end of december, Hille finished on a disappointing 23rd
position in The Party music competition with his song Rubber Computer.
1996 - At the South Sealand party in july, Hille finished 17th in the
music competition with his module Fede Fisk I Flasken.
Insanity norway -1989
Insanity was a norwegian swapping group, who ceased to exist in 1989 when
they merged with Magic Circle to create a new group called Ivory.

Review: After the intro sequence, with a static guraud shaded face
object, we quickly move on to a voxelspace routine. This is one of the
most simple ones Ive seen, and not remarkable in any way. The rest of
the intro features a lot of gouraud shading, and not much else. Dont
these people realise that G-Force was the final word in gouraud?
Granted, I do not think Ive seen a gouraud glenz - before or after -
but the fact remains that its not all that interesting anymore...
Pixies contribution comes in the form of a small picture of a screaming
face trying to break free of something, sort of pressing its face off
a platform. Its one of Pixies better pictures. The highlight comes at
the end though, with a little humorous not to mention gouraud shaded
Intel Outside logo spinning...
One major drawback about this intro is the unimaginative use of
color everythings in shades of blue or shades of brown. Perhaps these
guys should consider recruiting a graphician to do their design?
The spelling of this groups name is not consistent through the intro
they use both In-Sect and Insect. glenn

Retro 1 1997, 15.11, AGA Multifile Diskmag.
code: Mr.X, Ben Wyatt additional, gfx: Psycho, music: Retro.Main,
Retro.Sub and ProjectR by Tentacle.
review: First impressions are less than great, with some dodgy graphics by
Psycho introducing us to the mag. The mag itself doesnt have a stunning
interface either, but they also admit this in their editorial, and promise
to improve for the next issue. Three pieces of music by the same author is
perhaps a little much, some variation could be in order. They do seem to
have used the classic MicroKnight font, but we will forgive them for
now. The code does seem to be functional though, and the mag works fine.
No cliparts, scrolling or other fancy effects, but again they promise more
for the next issue. Not much to read this time either, but again... This
is a mag I expect I will wait for the next issue before I really judge.
Noone is really credited as editor, but Psycho seems to be the one doing
the most for the mag. Almost certainly released outside a party. glenn

Interactive is a german group, born by members of Equinox, Coma and others
in early 1992. Rumours of their death in White Noise 1 early 94 seem to
exaggerated. I have three different boards all listed as being the WHQ at
one time or another.
1992 - German swapper Ghost joined Submission in august.
1993 - Norwegian swapper and trader Razorblade was kicked around the
middle of this year, so he joined up with Majic 12. At The Party in
december, the group released at least two versions of Dodgers new pack
Bouncing Bytes 2 and 3. Inside, Abyss who joined mid 93 is quoted as
whq, perhaps suggesting he took over leadership of the group after he
joined?

review: Well, this menu offers no eyecandy of any kind, just the basics.
Upon loading, it presents you with a badly drawn Interactive logo, the
choice of some productions in the middle of the screen and a scroller at
the bottom. The whole thing unfortunately both looks and feels amateurish.
you can press the right mousebutton for a magpart, done in the same
design and not much better. The text is just the usual, news and
adverts. I cannot bring myself to recommend this to anyone. At least it
works just fine on accelerated machines.
The issue reviewed was 3 12/93. The menu was used for at least issues
1-3, and from this we think it was first released late 93, november or
possibly december. glenn

and some other equally uninteresting stuff. Avoid. glenn

Interpol was an elite illegal crew. I dont know if the guys that released
the intro Tahiti 04/96 are the same as the original Interpol. Seems a
little strange, after all this time, to come back to release an intro...
Since german sysops Joker and TCM were in Razor early in the year, and
Razor then died, it seems probable they went straight to this group.

review: This intro opens very nicely, with a good flame routine that
spurts out INTRUDERS and PRESENTS in flames before the intro starts
proper. I really wish theyd just kept the one effect, and not bothered
us with all the shit that makes up the rest of this intro! Those vector
cubes - shaded or not - have to be among the most blocky, buggy and ugly
ones Ive ever seen. Theres a third routine, though, which is dots that
make up tunnels and stuff. Not very interesting, Im afraid.

Iris was based in France and later mostly in Denmark, and was born in
1989. They were also the arrangers of the danish Scene Meeting parties.
They recruited the entire Danish division of D-29, which means at least
Darkhawk, other names are uncertain. Mandrake is the coder of Explora 3
Infomedia with music by Ulrick. Today their undisputed leader is Darkhawk
from Denmark.
1992 - Digital Master left early 92.
1993 - News in Eurochart 22 11/93 that Bridgeclaw left to join Shamrock
were probably untrue.
1994 - The entire Danish division of D-29 joined Iris in january. This was
at least Darkhawk, other names are uncertain. Dazl joined Investation early
in the year.
1996 - Swappers Sir Maxin Svein H. Orjansen, swap, late95 and Peace
ger, 95 were kicked due to the bad contact with the other members in june.
Also in june, Radix was kicked because of inactivity and Speed left to be
independent.
1997 - Baltic swapper Miko 63 Michael Arvantis was kicked because of a
lack of contact. World of Chips 4 02/97, World of Chips 5 03/97,
Deep Bass Nine BBSTro 03/97 was released. April saw the release of
Avatar 5 04/97. Danish sysop Azlan closed his board and left the scene.
Danish swapper Adonis was kicked due to inactivity, but later returned to
the group. Sticky joined with his board ORGANIZED CONFUSION, but was
kicked again after a short while. Pudding was kicked due
to inactivity. German musician Dascon regained scene inspiration, and after
a short stay in Iris, he rejoined his old group Essence late in the year.
Delaytro 10/97 was released to tell the world of the delay to their
proposed party Scene Meeting 97, which is now to be held in february of 98.
The intro also announced Ransom as a new member.
2000 - Early in the year Cupid code joined from Darkage, Yon gfx
joined while danish coder Hastur 96- decided to leave the scene. Ransoms
debut demo as a coder he joined as a raytracer Abecedarian 11/00 was
released at TRSAC 00.5, where it finished 2nd in the competition.
2001 - Just before the group travelled to the Mekka Symposium party in
germany in april, three central members sadly decided to leave the group
and the scene. Danes Bandy gfx, 96-, Judas and finally veteran Tricktrax
code music all left. The group released the demo Light 04/01 at MS,
announcing the departure of the three, and also announced they were
recruiting graphicians. Shortly after, graphician SuperK joined from
Darkage. In may, English coder Buzz webmaster at http://exotica.fix.no
joined. Yons slideshow The Puppets 09/01 ransom/yon/nutman was
released in september.

review: Bifrosts picture that opens this is mediocre, then we are shown a
blue phong-shaded shape over a nicely animated menu, then a cube with the
background texturemapped onto it...looks almost like its transparent. Over
this some text then appears, explaining how the group was forced to move
their party Scene Meeting from october 97 to february of 98. Pressing the
lmb makes a caleidoscopic water ripple effect appears, only the pattern
does not look a lit like water. Then the cube reappears, and also some
more text overlaid onto it. Left mouse bitton, and we get an object with
the words TAK INTENS! over an animated background, and then some more
text...and its over. The intro announces Ransom as a new member. glenn

shameful. Improve Iris! glenn

review: Mad Iris brigade wanna show all scene nation that somewhere in
Europe exist a little Denmark country. They choose a musicdisk form to
direct a spotlights on their homeland. And? And i should stop talking this
bullshits. Dansktop is a compilation of famous ? danish pop-folk
songs tracked as 4 channels modules. 6 musics where every one is most
funny than previous. Only for maniacs! Bandys graphics are non first
league class especially main screen, except this one picture in credits
part, but design at all isnt so bad. Everything looks little trashy, but
in my opinion its a intentional effect for example in starting text we
can read vomitbag is not included. Huh, what i should add? Ha! Weve
got scroller here and info section is typed using a bump mapping
procedure. Also this production is system friendly and detects rtg/graphic
card. After running from workbench it may runs very slowly sometimes.

demo. Eternally sorry.
The demo is dedicated to Bandy, Judas and Tricktrax - all of whom sadly
decided to leave the scene shortly before the MS party where this demo was
released. This means that this demo probably represents Tricktrax final
work on the amiga demoscene. glenn

The Puppets 2001, 15.09, AGA HD Multifile Slideshow.
code: Ransom, gfx: Yon, music: Nutman.
review: Well, this was well and truly and positive surprise! This large
3,3MB archive slideshow is actually worth the download, unlike many
other recent large productions. Yon is a truly talented pixeler, and
its a delight to sample his work here. His work seems to be a lot more
arty than most other pixelers, with his images focusing on more diverse
subjects than the usual dragons and ladies. Most of his art has a dark and
mystic feel to it, not a horror style, just mildly unsettling. As he
admits himself, his pixeling style is far from perfect, but its the feel
of the images that count here, not the techniques. Having said that, some
pictures are better than others. Another positive surprise was the music,
which is a really unusual piece, an atmospheric tune with the sound of
rain falling in the background. I cant even begin to tell you how much I
enjoyed seeing a production WITHOUT a drumnbase soundtrack for a change,
perhaps its just me, but I feel Ive seen or heard perhaps one or two
too many of those recently Very close to a significant prodcution.
It opens a screenmode selector when run, which probably means it will
adopt well to being run on graphics-card systems. The slideshow uses
Crust/Nah-Kolors xmplayer.library, which is included. glenn

Ivory was a norwegian demo group, formed between april and may of 1989 as a
merger between Magic Circle and Insanity. Since Magic Circle needed
swappers, and Insanity had no demomakers, the two groups decided to join
forces. The group released five demos from may to november, but announced
the groups death in their final one, Funeral Demo 11/89. Several key
members left them at this time for the group Oz, and this meant the end.
Upon forming Oz, all members except EMI changed their handles.

Review: An average intro/demo from these French guys. Theres not much to
recommend it code-wise, really, since theres only two effects in the
entire demo. Theyre used several times, but its still only two effects!
One is a zoom-rotator thats used for a mario-kart like road trip as
well, and the other is a zoomrotating plasmazoom. Well, who ever said
that demo effects were easy to describe : We wont mention the music.
Keep trying, though!
My previous information says it requires AGA...is this true? I dont
think theres any 256 color stuff in the demo...? The executable file
unpacked is 1.1mb, so its gonna take a little memory, but... It loops
back and starts over again at the end. glenn
