Jetset old 1991-1991
The original Jetset was born in march 93 after Pussy changed their name to
Jetset at the RAF conference, and was one of the biggest Dutch groups in

reborn as a Skid Row subgroup, producing their intros and demos.

The new Jetset was reborn late 1992, and was a Skid Row subgroup for a
while, doing the usual cracktro duties. This partnership was later dissolved
likely sometime in 1993, and Jetset continued as a demogroup in their own
right.
1993 - The musicdisk Overload 2 01/93 won the demo competition at the
Holand is OK party in january, bringing the new year to a great start for
the group!
1994 - German coder Raw Style ex Alcatraz, 94 left to join Complex late

Jetset, and was one of the members who later went on to Royal.
Storm ex Godfather/Spaceballs joined DCS.
Black Box ECS Trackmo.
code: Magician Lord, gfx: Seck-4, Eswat, IKillr, music: Hollywood.
Review: More of a slideshow than a demo, really, but not without
entertainment value. The graphics are all in the rather unique Jetset
style, i.e. graffitti. The music is a sort of old-style house, and its
certainly NOT one of Hollywoods strongest tunes. All in all? It does the
job it was intended to, I suppose, and some of the logos are cool...
Id give it 5 out of 10.
There is absolutely no indication anywhere as to the release date of
this demo... Anyone? glenn

Frank Frazetta part 4 1995, 30.04, OCS 64k Intro.
code/gfx: Dalthon, music: Peters.
Released for the Eastern Conference 1995 64k intro competition.
review: Dont know how classify this strange production. From one side it
looks like non standard intro but from second hand its a mini slideshow
for sure! Everything start with emulation of old zx-spectrums boot
sequence. We can see a typical basic screen and somebody is listing dir,
after while choses a Frank4.exe file and launchs it. Jokers logo and nice
chip music appear. Here follow 8 grayscaled 16 col. pictures, 3 in hi-
res laced and 5 in low-res resolution. Wonderful. When all graphics are
showed a standard choose menu becomes visible and under it scroller starts
to flow. Operating by mouse youre able to watch every picture one more
time.
Dalthon is known for his talent of making short but great executables
and as we see Frank Frazetta is a good example. Production preffered to
all long time ago... maniacs. kempy
Chunky Blitter 1996, 10.11, ECS 4k Intro.
code: Dalthon, gfx: none, music: n/a.
5th in the Gravity 96 4k intro competition.
review: We watch the flashing please wait text for a while, before
being catapulted into a world of fractal based effects. The intro looks
quite good, using a sort of smoothing effect that doesnt retract too
much from the overall impression. The intro also contains quite a lot
more than I expected it to it pumped out at least three good effect
variations after I was convinced the show was over. Then, after its
all done, and the coder credit appears, a small tune is played! Its a
bit of a mystery why Dalthon didnt play the tune during the intro...
The text file that comes with this is in Polish. glenn

review: I thought I liked this, based on viewing and not least listening
to the main part for a little while. So I pressed the left mouse button
to write a favourable review...and quickly found there was a small extra
part, announcing some BBS numbers. And playing a THX rendition of the
Bubble Bobble theme. One of my favourite games. Containing one of my
favourite tunes. Do I need to draw you a picture? NOSTALGIA HEAVEN!
Some further investigation reveals that this one was probably written
using AMOS! No wonder its ECS then... Its their first ever intro.

not exactly mindblowing coding. Dont really know what else to say about

4th in the Assembly 98 64k intro competition.
review: This, ladies and gentlemen, is actually not a bad little intro.
They carve a style-all-of-their own, with this offbeat elektronika piece -
both visually and audially. They choose to ride off-piste, so to say -
with no illusions of winning the compos, but rather participating with
style. I really like this, its bold, brave and unafraid. Dare to be
different - like the Jormas. Theyre definitely unique. glenn

Juliet Case 1994-1995
Two finnish friends started coding demos, and released their first
production, called CCCP at the Assembly 94, finishing 5th. A year passed,
and at The Assembly 95 they released C42, which also came in fifth.
This time, though, some groups stood up and took notice of the coder duo.
They were quickly headhunted to Stellar, but soon after moved on to a more
permanent home in CNCD.
CCCP 1994, 06.08, Demo.
code: Juliet Case, gfx: n/a, music: Groo/CNCD.
5th in The Assembly 94 demo competition.
C42 1995, 12.08, AGA File.
code: Juliet Case, gfx: none, music: Groo.
5th in The Assembly 95 demo competition.
review: There are no graphics in C42, just 3d worlds and objects.
There are butterflies, flowers, bees and other stuff from the real
world emulated. The way this is put together makes it more reminiscent of
a dark piece of video experimentation than a demo. Original, if nothing
else. Groos music is easily forgettable.
This would be their last demo as independents. Please note that none of
the effects are fullscreen, but are displayed in a more limited space in
the centre of the screen. glenn

World Charts 2 1991, ECS FileChart.
code: n/a, gfx: Angeldawn, music: Satanic by n/a ProTracker MOD
format.
review: Well, this issue of World Charts is pretty basic. Its main asset,
as has always been the case with this particular chartmag, is the
graphics. The are recognizably by Angeldawn, though signed IB rather
than his standard AD - perhaps an indication to his real name? NO
credits are given anywhere, strangely, except a small graphic saying
moral support and votecollecting by Autopsy when it starts. This means
Autopsy was involved in the production, but likely not as a member of
Jump. The menus are unusually enough keyboard-controlled, with the cursor
keys and return serving to select the different chart categories. A press
of the space bar takes us to a separate part, with board ads, and another
press takes us back. The music is atrocious.
The Jump boards advertised in this intro was HARPOON WHQ, ANOTHER
WORLD EHQ and ASYLUM. glenn
World Charts 3 1991, ECS FileChart.
code: n/a, gfx: Angeldawn, music: Introfronty by Dezecrator/Classic
ProTracker MOD format.
review: Apart from a new and better introductory Jump logo, and the fact
that most of the categories have changed, everything is identical to the
last issue, so I will refrain from explaining it all over again.
Dezecrators module is wellknown, and was first used in a crack intro by
Classic. It seems unlikely that they were given permission to use it.
This was the last issue of World Charts under Jump subsequent issues were
released by Model.
The Jump boards advertised in this intro was HARPOON WHQ, ANOTHER
WORLD EHQ and ASYLUM, just like last time. glenn
