The middle of 1993 was obviously a good year for Rage, winning two major
Swedish competitions in a row! Rage moved more and more of its operation
over to the PC during 1996, until it now finally seems like its all moved
over. They released a PC demo at The Gatherig 97. The members who are now
active on the PC have been removed from THIS memberlist, and have had their
entries moved to the PC part of Scenery. They are: Digimatic code, 08/93-

review: Not-bad little intro is perhaps the first impression, but when
you look at it more closely, it becomes painfully apparent that this one
adds absolutely nothing new. The effects are all based on old - and in
some cases antique - effects without making ANY improvements, and the
only half-way innovation youll find is a semi-cool caleidoscope at the
very end. Other effects youll find here are zoomrotators, sphere
mapping, fire particles and actually a wireframe vector line routine!
A few OK transitions is all that saves this from the dustbin. glenn

review: Rabies is a very good demo perhaps the best demo the Amiga
section of Rage ever made! It opens with a small animation sequence,
which sets the perfect atmosphere for the rest of the demo. The demo
itself contains fast, but small renditions of effects that were not all
that common at the time like phong shading. The design is good, with a
red cyberpunk-y look and feel, spiced with some quotes along the same
lines. The entire production looks pretty polished, and leaves you with
a good feeling. Very nice. glenn

review: This is not a bad little intro! It starts with some dots forming
a Rage logo, from the bottom of the screen...almost like the routine in
the ancient The Silents Crionics classic Hardwired 12/91, though
that routine was heaps better. Next were given a plasma zoom tunnel
thingie thats pretty cool, before were shown a fractal zoom in 2x2
resolution. Next theres a rather cool fire object routine in 2x2, where
five or six small objects on fire fly around the screen...and thats it.
An end screen with some email adresses and the homepage address, and
were outta there.
No actual credits appear in the demo, just the e-mail addresses of four
of the participants, and theyre not very revealing. glenn

Ram Jam was a mainly italian demo group, formed in 1989. They were known for
their chartmag The Charts, which was eventually closed down. Their next
project in the same vein, years later, was the magchart Showtime which saw
a handful of issues released before KaosMaster took the mag to Darkage.
Thanks to Vega and Twilek for information!
1995 - French swapper Hysteric Jean-Francis Lopez, early95 and Pseudonym
were both kicked late in the year. Flender, M.A.S.E, Maxime, Posdnuos ex
Backstage, but not alone and Rocketeer ita swap left late in the year.
They did NOT leave the scene, as stated in some mags, but formed a new crew
to develop games, called The Spooky Fellows TSF. All this was in a
newsfile I once found on aminet : Swedish swapper and organizer Cybergod
left late this year, to be a Delight only member again. He later returned to
the group pc/java as a graphician. New swedish organizers were Klorathy
and Payday.
1996 - Swedish musician Atheist, who was a Balance doublememb for a while,
left to be in Balance only again, early96. Around the middle of the year,
swedish sysop Nightshade WASTELANDS, new 02/96 decided to leave the
scene.
1997 - The beginning of the year brought some turmoil for the swedish
members. A big fight ensued between Payday and italian organizer Vega, after
Vega had let a swedish trader General Lee join without notifying the
swedish members, and the discussion concluded with Payday swap sysop, Loop
gfx, ex Vision, new 02/96-, Krustur code, ex Insane and Klorathy code
music all leaving the group for Rebels. Klorathy stayed in the Ram Jam
java-section though, and Loop later rejoined under the handle Oyiseer, on a
sidenote. Then key members like founder ACBS code and main organizer Vega
Giuseppe Galluzzo, swap left the scene later the same year, and the amiga
section died. Surfing also in Fairlight and Damones took over organizing,
and much of the group moved on to other platforms. Ram Jam has since
released productions for both the java and the pc scene.
Italian coder Modem ex X-Zone apparently left the group after RJ used his
routines without crediting him in their demo Massive Killing Capacity.
He formed a new group called Darkage. Twilek/RJ tells me this is bull, and
that Modem was kicked.
American sysop Slinger GRAND ILLUSION got kicked.
Italian coder Darkman ex Zero Defects, 02/96 joined Elven 11.
Italian raytracer and editor KaosMaster ex Technology, new early96-
04/96 joined Darkage with the mag Showtime.
Jesus and BAR left the Amiga for the PC scene ROM7.
Moone old handle Raiser left to form Fresh 04/96.

Spaceman 1996, Musicdisk.
code: Acbs, Ranay, gfx: Ilian, music: En-Joy.
review: Ram Jam gives you the good advice to link your Amiga to a powerful
stereo hi-fi and I would do it if I were you... Everythings starts with
a nice chiptune as introduction and a dark-colored voxel routine. Well, of
course not everything but this small-design musicdisk does it. After you
were allowed to watch some brilliant logos pixeled by Ilian you make a
little trip through this voxel-landscape until the music fades out and the
menu shows up. Also here you will have twice a look at the very modern and
cyber-like design. Only the scroller graphics look too old for the rest of
this production. They give the overall very smart design - which does not
mean that it is not good - a worse smack! But let us talk about the music
which is in any case the more important thing while rating a musicdisk.
En-joy, a musician I havent heard about before Sorry!, composed five
modules with the good old protracker for us. While sweet melodies - more
familar with funky styles, a bit hip-hop influenced and inspired by slow
pop than techno - are played you can also hear some good sampled speeches.
Especially the voice of the woman in Music Is My Light which is by the
way my favorite tune. Queel guitare sounds in The Spaceman and smooth
pianos in Endless Mornings round the whole thing off. The only other
thing that sucks besides the scroller is the yellow standard font which is
used to show you the information and titles. zito

Winner of the Euskal party 98 demo competition!
review: Well, this is a first for me - a demo with a seemingly religious
theme. Well, thats what it looks like the first time you look at it, but
the title does seem to reveal a slightly humourours approach However,
the theme is exploited to the full here, complete with imagery of Jesus
himself. It all opens with a Ramses logo distorted onto the screen to
weird music, then going the same way out. Next the real music kicks in, as
well as a 3d scene engine taking us around what is seemingly the inside of
a church, with those multi-colored imagery windows you find only there,
and this is also where the intital credits appear. Next it zooms in and
out of a picture of Jesus a few times, with the title of the demo
gradually overlaid. Next is a more traditional 3d scene of pillars with a
goblet inside and a moving lightsource. Next is a fullscreen picture by
Zaac, of a black woman holding a heart spewing flames in her hands. Zaac
won the graphics competition at this party too, but it is uncertain
whether this is the same picture. Next is a 3d scene with crosses, four
moving lighsources and cubes with greetings on their sides. Then what
looks like a painting from a church appears, waving, with a bumpmapped
Ramses logo in the bottom left corner. Now for something original, a
seemingly rubbered 3d scene, the one from before with the crosses. It
ends with yet another 3d scene, this time seemingly inside an enclosed
room with some objects suspended in dead air. An upscroller ugly font!
is the last thing you see, overlaid over the very first Ramses logo tbat
appeared in the demo. Much of this demo relies on its 3d engine, which
unfortunately is not among the very very best. Its good, but ultimately
not fast and smooth enough at its present point to really impress in the
jungle of amiga 3d. A good demo then, but not an outstanding one. glenn

code: JPV, gfx: Kure design, photos, Deeq photos, music: Kure.
14th in the Mekka Symposium 2001 demo competition.
review: Nicely designed and with an ambient soundtrack, this slideshow
really had absolutely nada to do in a demo competition But its full of
charm, mostly thanks to the happy faces of the drunk RNO+DCS members who
obviously had a good time while making this fun-prod. It opens with a few
roughly demo-style visuals, nicely designed as mentioned first
presenting the production, then with credits. One question: How on earth
do you make a screen consisting of a wireframe vector object, and simple
graphics scrolled in from the left and right move anything LESS than
smoothly on a 50mhz 030 JPV? God heavens knows it can be done, Ive seen
it done on A500s! Hell, Ive seen it done on C64s! Hrmpf. Well,
anyway, the main part of this is a slideshow with no additional design,
just pictures fading in and out. The charm comes mostly from the fact that
these people appear to be having great amounts of fun.
The slideshow is very system friendly, and you can flip screens with the
normal Amiga-M method. It requires AGA or a graphics card, and at least an
020 processor. There is no mention of the memory requirements. The
meeting of the title occured in Lahti, Finland between the 23rd and 25th
of february, at the same time as the World Championships in cross-country
skiing was held there. Just in case you were wondering... This is the

review: A hallmark in the jagged history of R.A.W was the release of
this issue, which meant several big changes. It was the first ever issue
to be released without Lord Helmet as main editor, and it was also the
first ever issue not to feature any graphics from Fairfax. Fresh blood
brought fresh ideas, though, and Astros articles are written like hed
have been doing this all his life. History would later show that the
choice of Astro for a new editor would not be the best decision, but the
things he does for this issue is very good. Even though this issue is
released just three months after the last one another small revolution!
:-, the contents seem polished and well thought-out. Its especially
nice to see Facet doing graphics reviews again, just as he did in the
old days for Stolen Data. This is also the first issue where the home
page is announced - what would later become a much larger part of RAW.
There is apparently also an intro by Virtual Dreams for this issue, but
it was not included in my distribution, and I have consequently not seen
it. Some clipart in the group review section is misplaced, occasionally
ending up on top of text. To sum up: Very good, but then it always is. :

review: Looking back on RAW now this review was done in january 2003,
its quite amazing how accomplished an effort it is. It stands proudly
alongside current and past diskmags, as one of the best diskmags ever. It
does not NEED to live on its reputation, it has so much support from so
many important sceners, and so much quality reading, that it stands TALL
on its own merits. Just looking at the roster of writers, should give you
an indication... And the code is exceptional. Fast, compatible, smooth,
intuitive. Editorially, the mag is again excellent, with a broad range of
scene-related articles, from general pondering to in-depth interviews and
an extensive party section. This is one of a few classic mags that
everyone should read.
Running RAW really couldnt possibly be a smoother experience. No fuss,
just two files, and a superbly hardware compatible code makes running this
from floppy, harddisk or ram - a doodle. The release date is a little
uncertain likely sometime around september is our best guess. glenn

1989 - The groups big break in the cracking scene came after The
Accumulators split up in late 1989, and they managed to persuade Onyx euro
crack and Zodact usa supply sysop to join them. Suddenly they had both
originals and crackers! This lead to a steady stream of releases until april
of 1991.
1990 - Norwegian musician Hattrick left for No Limits in march. A
shortlived cooperation with Classic was entered into in the spring of 1990.
Uncle Tom contributed music to the Paradox demo Freddys Back, released in
early june. Swedish cracker and coder DiMarz Dennis Edlund from Eskilstuna
left the scene this year. Most of the intros to games he cracked for Razor
were also coded by himself. The Norwegian members held an internal meeting
in the city of Aalesund between the 16th and the 18th of november. Red
Baron, Bug, Nosferatu, Iceman, Rex, Fort Knox, Doctor No and Sector9 were
all in attendance. Legendary swedish musician Uncle Tom left the scene in
december, and did NOT rejoin Scoopex despite them sometimes claiming he did.
His music was used in Scoopex productions beyond this date, but these were
old modules Uncle Tom gave to them before leaving the scene. Their board
DIGITAL EXPRESS opened this year was probably Norways first elite board,
and as such remains legendary on the Norwegian scene. They were also the
first Norwegian team to have an american elite board THE CASTLE.
1991 - When the release flood ended in april of 1991, the leaders of the
group were getting tired of the Amiga scene. Luckily the solution was near:
a great PC cracker called Darwin lived close by the core members, and it was
decided to close the Amiga section in favour of a new life on the PC. Only a
few members remained, keeping the group alive through this year. Swedish
musician Mantronix ex Fairlight, 11/90- left for phenomena around the
middle of the year. However, he later returned to do music for the great
Voyage 12/91 demo. Faith changed his handle to Faddy and joined Delight
late this year. The demo Erazorhead 10/91 was released early october,
immediately followed by the departure of its authors Jawbreaker code,
11/90- and Pal gfx for Scoopex. English musician Musician Gamma joined
Anarchy in october. Swedish sysop Twister FLASHBACK joined from Agile in
december. The groups final demo Voyage 12/91 was a worthy swansong for
a truly great group in the field of both cracking and demomaking. American
sysop Jabbah INNER SANCTUM left sometime between october and december
the board was mentioned in Erazorhead, but not in Voyage.
1992 - Twister FLASHBACK left again in january, moving this time to
Vision. Around january, swedish sysop Wico INNER CIRCLE, ex Classic
joined, then left for Scoopex, only to leave them shortly after for Rebels!
Norwegian coder Nosferatu 10/90-12/91 joined The Silents shortly after The
Gathering in april. Finnish trader Zephyr joined from Amaze, but didnt stay
long he left for The Silents soon after. Psimon and Shocker joined Compact
Inc. late 92. Norwegian sysop Skykiller THE MAZE, ex Fraxion left for
Adept around october. The group was officially closed down in the early days
of 1992. The members that went along to the PC section were Sector9, Dr. No,
Red Baron, Onyx ex Accumulators, new late89 and Zodact Brian C., usa
sysop THE CASTLE, ex Accumulators, new late89.
1994 or 1995 - Previous member Bug Stein Erik Giske, ex Subway, re
Network, 11/90- tragically died this year, after spending some time at a
mental institution.
Mr.T sysop, 12/91-early92 left.
Rascal ex Alpha Flight got kicked.
English coder Paradroid joined Digital.
German sysop Guru Josh Guido, TECH, ex Storm decided to leave the amiga
scene after severe disagreements with Zodact. He eventually went back to
where he came from the c64 scene!
Norwegian graphician Shine left the scene.
Swedish coder Colorbird ex Shike/Supplex was kicked, and therefore left
to join Noxious.
Frequenz sysop, ex Amaze, together with Badcat and Edison, got arrested by
the Police when they were at Fornebu, Oslo in order to collect a package
with carded warez. Frequenz told them everything about CC and Visa, and 2
weeks later all the Norwegian elite-boards got busted....
Fade joined from Arise, but quickly left the scene.
Norwegian sysop IT CONTACT ZERO/earlier HOME ALONE, ex Frogs joined
Alcatraz.
Hawat, Newmarh and Thufir joined The Special Brothers.

Voyage 1991, 27.12, ECS Trackmo.
code: Sim, gfx: Drake, Murdock, music: Undersea by Codex, Overload by

review: Voyage is one of the greatest demos of all time, bar none. There
are so many little touches and design things here that makes it a thing
of beauty. Not to mention the revolutionary code! Mind you, this was the
end of 1991, and Sim was doing some quite outrageous things here, with
the texture mapping and stuff. He was truly a coder before his time.
The music is also worth its weight in gold. These two tunes are half the
demo for me, I must confess. I personally believe that the middle, calmer
section of Overload heard during the bubble part is some of the best
music Mantronix and Tip ever made. So totally recommended it hurts.
This demo *DOES NOT WORK* on AGA machines. Fortunately, we in the Amiga
community are blessed with some skilled coders who have taken it upon
themselves to fix some older demos so that we can see them on our
machines and run them from our harddrives : Galahad is one such person.
Thank you! AGAVOY.LHA on AmiNet. glenn

The new Razor 1911 was the source of some controversy when it was formed by
Colorbird/Illusion, Lizardking and Tony/The Silents and Odoen/Phenomena in
late 1993. Their only claim to the name of the old heroes was that
Colorbird was once a member... The real Razor had moved to the PC, and
wanted the Amiga side to die with their passing. Still, the debate toned
down after a while. Famous musician Lizardking is also a member of Triton
Technologies on PC, and has released several CDs. Swedish graphician PGL
was never a member, this was a misunderstanding.
1994 - Swedish supposed coder Boki joined in february, and was kicked
in april because he was found to be a liar. He claimed he was working on a
great demo, but in reality hadnt made anything at all. Norwegian duo Jason
music and Joachim gfx both ex Lemon. were kicked because of too little
contact with the rest of the group after a relatively short while, in the
early parts of the year. Swedish coder Exidor ex Infect or Medicine...
joined in april, but unfortunately left the scene soon after. Swedish coder
Calypso 03/94 was kicked in may, since he promised to start coding
Memorial Songs 2, but never did. It was eventually coded by Psionic
instead. Swedish sysop Fazer FLATLINE, 03/94 left due to a harddisk
crash. An official newsfile on the Propaganda disk said he joined Delight
with his board, while inside the mag itself, it said he joined Millennium.
Since the news in the text file seemed a little more up to date than the
stuff in the mag, I choose to believe the file. Danes Chorus music, Sid
music and Condor swap, all ex Majic 12, 12/93 joined Jewels in the
middle of the year. Chorus and Sid made the great soundtrack to the We
Shave Ass 03/94 demo! Danish swapper Roscoe ex Equinox left mid 94, and
joined Bomb! later in the year. The danish ex-Lemon.ers Futuremind code,
Papillion code and Dr.Gyble trace were also kicked around mid 94. Slash
was allowed to join as a swapper after most of the danish division left,
taking two swappers with them Roscoe and Condor. However, three weeks
later The Pride was recruited, and they no longer needed Slash, so he was
subsequently kicked also Finnish swapper and trader John Peel ex Angels
new joined Desire.
1995 - Propaganda 5 was supposed to be released at the Virtual
Conspiracy party at the end of february, with new code by Hammer. Due to
several circumstances, including a hard disk crash that took parts of the
code to hell, the issue was never released and issue 4 became the final one
ever released. Some of the articles to be released in the mag were donated
by Diesel8 to other mags, like RAW, ROM and Upstream. Young swedish
graphician Tony ex The Silents, new 12/93, one of the founders of the new
Razor 1911, made his last scene graphics in Memorial Songs 2 01/95. He
was subsequently appointed to a fulltime position making graphics for Team
17 in the UK. Swedish coder and editor of Propaganda, Colorbird Johan
Andersson was kicked out between april and may. The rest of the group felt
he was becoming increasingly intolerable and arrogant after he moved to Oslo
to start working for FunCom in april. He was one of the founders of the new
Razor 1911. Diesel8 became the new main organizer.
1996 - Since releasing their final demo Dalahorse 10/95 late last
year, activities pretty much ceased in Razor 1911, and we can safely declare
them a dead group sometime in 1996.
We Shave Ass 1994, 05.03, ECS 1MB File.
code: Colorbird, Hammer, Odeon, gfx: Diesel, Tony picture, music:
Killing Floor2.1 by Chorus Sid main, Dawning by Deelite end.
review: Tempo is the keyword for this demo. The uptempo rocknroll tune
fits perfectly with the mood of the demo, which consistently throws some
new effect at you. The audio-visuals are great here, with Diesels
graphics a highlight. Tonys graphical contribution is just one picture
of a big, smiling face. The code is another matter though. It doesnt
totally suck, it just fails to really come alive. There arent any real
wow effects here, so to speak. Still, the coders are the ones that have
put the graphics and music together into such an enjoyable package, I
guess I can forgive that. Not bad at all.
To access the hidden part, hold down the left mouse button before the
l starts rotating in the beginning. The demo requires 1MB total memory.
The text file mentions it may not work on 2.0 machines with only 1mb, but
it worked fine on my A500 setup, provided I ran the add21k program prior
to the demo. glenn

review: Though not much of a demo, I guess this animation is perhaps
worth getting for the music. You see, all that this small production
encompasses is a big, BW raytraced animation of a cityscape and a boat
in the water outside of the city. So we travel around and around these
skyscrapers, endlessly... and thats it. I think they could have done
without this kind of demo really. Still, the musics not bad.

review: Short but sweet, Chaosmaze takes a new approach to the Doom

looks VERY similar to what Skull/Virtual Dreams did for his trackmo
242 08/93...and this intro contains in the file the text Tanks for
the enlightining Dr Skull yep, that IS misspelt like that!. I guess
this was certainly impressive back in 1994. glenn

Propaganda 4 1994, 05.06, ECS Multifile diskmag.
code: Colorbird, Hammer, gfx: Danny/Spaceballs loadpicture, Diesel
panel, music: Deelite, editors: Colorbird, Diesel.
review: No intro this time, so its straight into the mag. The loader
picture by Danny is a green, topless nymph seen from the side, with
letters forming the word PROPAGANDA down the left side. The mag has been
totally recoded since issue 3, and the new code sports a UNIQUE feature
- a sort of limited hypertext clone, where you click your way to the
article you want! Unfortunately, not enough is made of this feature,
which could have been a killer.
Design is the point where Propaganda fails most miserably. Theres not
really any one thing to put your finger on, its more the inadquate
FEELING it leaves you with. Also, most performances here are below
par, from the dreadful panel graphics to Deelites music. Sorry. This was
to be the last ever issue of Propaganda. It multitasks, though in an
unstandard sort of way. Mind you, Im writing this with the mag in the
background! glenn

review: Early attempts at shading here, with a not-too-good-looking 4x4

objects and once for showing a revolving face that unfortunately ends up
looking quite comical. Theres also two blocky! pictures by D-
Design...and thats it. Its small, not particularly sweet, and very
forgettable. AGA? Were not sure.
Please note that there are two versions in circulation, crunched with
different crunchers StoneCracker and PowerPacker, I believe. This had

Memorial Songs II 1995, .01, AGA Multifile Musicdisk, 2 disks.
code: Psionic, gfx: Tony, Diesel8 additional, music: Lizardking.
review: This musicdisk is a gift for the eyes, with LOTS of great
graphics by Tony and Diesel. Theres pictures everywhere! Lizardkings
music cant be faulted, and the coding does its job reasonably well.
Another good thing about this disk is the fact that its fully
multitasking, so you can flip screens with Amiga-M just like with any
other program. I love being able to write a review while having the
thing in the background! This is wholly recommended.
The tunes on this musicdisk are: Memorial Theme, Longstabben, Weird
Personalities also in R.O.M 1, Orhtanc also in Oepir Risti 2,
Sunshine Dance, Physiology Theme, My Little Oliphant, Thematic Hymn,
Magic Nights 3rd at TP93, Compulsion To Obey winner Assembly 94!,
and Water Below also in Upstream 8. There are also two additional
hidden tunes accessed by clicking certain parts of the panel. One button
is at the top right of the panel, and the other is below the addresses
button, at the very bottom. The disk can be run straight off the harddisk
with no assigns, or from floppy if so is desired. The original MEMORIAL
SONGS was released in 1993, when Lizardking was a member of Alcatraz.
Im guessing at the release date its based on them calling it a
delayed christmas present in one of the scrollers. This was probably
Tonys final scene appearance, since he was employed at Team 17, making
graphics for games. glenn

Winner of the Party Remedy 1995 demo competition!
review: Theres one very good thing and one very bad thing about
Dalahorse. The good thing is undoutedly the music. Lizardking and
D-Design deliver a stonking techno tune as the main soundtrack, one of
those pieces of music that can lift a demo all on it own...almost.
The bad thing is its speed. Even on my 030-50 it snails along, never
quite managing to keep the update rate up. Despite some innovation, this
is what brings this demo down. You cant help thinking they should have
spent some more time on these routines. Also known as Falukorv.
I belive, from the way the files are set up, that this would run quite
happily from disk. Anyone? glenn

1989 - Rebels was formed 10th of February 1989 when the two groups Chaos
Cooperation and Roadrunners decided to join forces. Their first production,
announcing this, was released two days later at the Bamiga Sector One and
The Warfalcons party in Denmark. The original members were I believe all
Danish. They were BJ, Codex, Cruncher, Droopy, Jake Up, Jason, Joz, Obx,
Raz, Static, Thrasher, Vandal, XOD and Yoyo. Cruncher den, Rasmus Hartmann
suddenly sold his Amiga and left the scene 08/89, only six months after he
helped found Rebels. Danish coder Proxt left for Panzerfaust now Cave.
1990 - Jake released issues of his pack Candyland, and Nick Zaxxan
released issues of their pack Sweetest Perfection. Australian members The
Teacher and The Corporal left for Scoopex. Swedes Alta code, Fuzzac code,
02/90, Marillion music, 02/90 and Mogwie code all joined The Silents,
but Mogwie later rejoined.
1991 - The Austrian division got kicked around easter 1991. Krest ex
Cryolite/Flash UK joined the group around june, and the intro Rebel
Without A Cause introduced him to the group. Nick Zaxxan released issues
of their pack Sweetest Perfection. Labyrinth was kicked out, so he joined
TRSI late 91.
1992 - French coder Dca ex Delight, new late91 joined Anarchy around
january. Early in the year they were reinforced with the Germans Chaos,
Diddle, Zaphod, 16 Beat, Jester, Cthulu, Hawk, Cruiser, Vindicator and
Panther from Sanity, but their stay was a brief one and they soon returned
to try and rebuild their old group. They left behind only one production
the intro Sanity Is Dead. English sysop Clairvoyant FORGOTTEN REALMS,
02/92 joined Dual Crew in march.
1993 - The year started disastrously for Rebels, when january brought on a
mass migration to a new group formed almost exclusively of ex-Rebels
members Movement. The group was founded by dutch musician 911 ex The
Silents and Finnish organizer Meegosh, and soon many key members had moved
on to the new group. A.o. Swedish trader Logic ex Noxious, dutch Astro ex
The Silents, finnish musician Nugget ex NKOTB, finnish coder Jef old
handle MCD, finnish coder Ruben old handle Willow, finnish sysop Storm
WASTED TIME, 07/91-, danish Toastmaster ex Bacteria, new late92, and
Turkish Eternal editors Orion and Kris ex Accuracy, new mid92. Since
Meegosh was the previous world leader since mid 92, a new one had to be
chosen, and Jake took over the reins of the group. In the weeks and months
to follow, also Swedish coder Asterix old handle Alta, 02/90-, Swedish
musician Omega 12/91- and French musician Reflex ex Delight, new
late91-10/91 joined Movement. I dont know what happened in the meantime,
but 12/93 Bozo is suddenly the new main organizer! Frenchmen Meta ex Bass
and Patrick both early93 both left to reform Bass mid to late 93.
Several of the original Danish and Swedish members returned to be members
of Rebels again after the group was reborn in 1994. Danes who returned were
a.o. Bozo mainorg trade pack, 12/92-10/93, Conan code, 03/89-12/91 and
Static music, 03/90.
Danish coder, and one of the original founders, Droopy 02-08/89 was
mentioned 12/92 as a member of Rebels PC, so he probably went over to that
division at one time or the other. -- Raz founder code gfx music swap,
02-06/89. Q code.
Danish Xience joined Rednex.
Danish sysop Stripe HIGH TENSION joined The Silents.
Norwegian sysop Raven WONDERLAND, 91 got kicked.
Danish musician Unison 12/92 was later in Impact DK.
Finnish musician Maza ex Accession, 12/92 joined Sonic.

Ramsay, trade sysop EQUIPOISE, ex Noxious, 12/92, Dragon sysop
DRAGONS LAIR, ex Dual Crew, later RBS PC? 02/92 and Wico sysop
INNER CIRCLE, ex Scoopex, 02/92 all left the Amiga scene to start a new
PC group called THE EDGE.
Frenchmen Skynet and Suny gfx joined Anarchy.
Danish musician, graphician and one of the founders, Static 02-08/89
joined Paradox, then rejoined 12/90. He then joined The Silents. He later
returned once again to take part in the new Rebels when they were reborn
in 1994.
The entire Swedish division except M:ET who joined Cascade joined The
Silents. However, many of them has since returned - like M:ET, Alta, Vic.
Finnish Heatbeat music and Dweezil code got kicked. Instead of joining
some other crew, the two decided to form Carillon.
Hitchcock joined Extreme.
Danish Trix ex Dexion joined Anarchy in mid 91. However, in RAW3 quite a
lot later! it was claimed he was simply kicked.
Swedish coder Jas joined Phenomena.
Dutch trader and musician Mark ex The Silents, 12/92 joined Banal
Projects.

review: This ones a quite simple demo, with the obligatory logo at the

this is uninnovative, boring, and incompetent. Get the picture?

The demo has an animated Rebels logo at the top, a digitized Hulk with

not exactly revolutaionary, is it? One thing that amused me quite a bit
was the text before the scroller - Mess with the best, Die like the

some plasma-like effect and some cool vectors. Though the demo works
perfectly fine on the 030, its WAY too fast. Also the music replayer
seems to choke on the extra horsepower, so KillAGA is hereby recommended
even though its not essential. Why this small 50k intro doesnt have an
exit is beyond me. glenn

Rebel Without A Cause 1991, .06?, ECS Intro.
code: Paleface, gfx: Seen/Alliance Design, Krest title, ice font,
music: Test1 by Yoyo.
review: With an unusually high amount of effects for a BBS intro, this
one kicks off with a respectable picture by new member Krest, based on
the title picture of an old game called Baal. Then there are effects, a
text plotter and even a sinus scroll! Though the intro works best with
KillAGA, a few effects still have non-fatal graphical errors. The intro
destabilized my system after exiting, so a reboot is definitely
recommended after seeing this intro. Paleface and Seen were later the two
people behind the runaway success group Melon Dezign.
This intro seems to introduce new member Krest, as well as calling
PANTEON our new world headquarter. No release date appears anywhere in
the demo, but based on news in LSDs Grapevine 1 06/91 that Krest had
now joined Rebels, the above date is a rough guess. glenn

itself is perhaps not the best ever seen, but still nice visuals and

review: I cant really judge this fairly, as I have never actually
watched it. The intro WORKS, as such, but the graphics are all scrambled
up - even with KillAGA. There is a nice opening logo we get to see, tho.
No release date appears anywhere in the intro, so the VERY general
release date is based on some known facts the Finnish divisions first
production was Snap 91. Ruben and Nugget were in their new group
Movement early 93, so it had to be made somewhere between those two
dates. The name of the intro refers to the three days spent making it.

Rebels was once a major force on the demo scene, but activity has decreased
somewhat in later years. They now seem to be on their way back, though,
with some activity evident from coder Krustur and musician Jerry.
ROM4 reported rumours that german graphician TeeVaan had left the scene in
order to produce game graphics.
1994 - Shortly after being reformed, the German section released their
first demo, Prurient 94. It was quickly followed by the winner of the
Doomsday party, Switchback 10/94, and the Rebels seemed to be back on
track! The finished the year at the party with Whammer Slammer 12/94,
the third demo in a row by german duo Zulu and Grey. Sometime between 04 and
05/94, swedish sysop Dracula TRANSYLVANIA, 03/94- left the group. Bozo
became mainorg. Sometime between 05 and 10/94, germans Siriax Dennis

03/94- left the group. Sometime between 09 and 10/94, German sysop MDB
Carsten Lewandowsky, LOVE LIKE BLOOD left the group.
1995 - After three strong demo releases in 1994, the new year presented
us with total silence! It was also this year that German organizers Exciter
Ingo Kamps and Weezer decided to leave the scene. Things were further
complicated when his replacement, the dane Nighthawk Steffen Karstoft, gfx,
ex Majic 12, 03/94- also decided to leave the scene in August, after moving
over to England to study! His replacement - in turn - would be the swede
Swoop, hopefully a more permanent solution. Swedish graphician Slime Ola
Wiklander, 09/94-12/95 left the scene towards the end of the year, after
his computer died. Danish cofounder and earlier main organizer Bozo
Flemming Ljungdahl, 02/94- also sadly decided to leave the scene towards
the end of the year.
1996 - The year started tragically, as a lightning bolt took out Twisters
board FLASHBACK in january. After some consideration, Twister Anders
Lindquist and fellow swede graphician Disc Mats Erikson, ex Tetragon
or Equinox, 95- were asked to leave the group. Around the same time
Norwegian sysop Jedi Hans Petter Andersen, ex Puzzle decided to leave the
Amiga scene for his career in a pc cracking group. March saw the recruitment
of CyberState and Jerry in Norway. We wouldnt see a new Rebels production
until after the middle of the year, when their new danish recruitment Fresh
Prince secured them a winning 64k intro at the South Sealand Party. The only
other release this year was the norwegian sections Chip Nostalgia. In
august, danish musician Vocal Andre Greve, 03/94- was kicked, after he
bought a pc, and no contact had been made in months. Swoop continued to lead
the group throughout the year.
1997 - Early this year, swedes Klorathy code music, Krustur code, Loop
gfx and Payday swap sys all joined from Ram Jam, following an internal
fight in that group. Danish graphician, musician and also eventually sysop
Bird new 01/96- joined Scoopex in april to work with his friend Boogeyman.
For a while in 96, Bird also ran the board ELEKTRIK CAFE.

Red Sector was born in the spring of 1985, when Bill Best, Kangol Kid and
Greg decide to join forces under this label. At this time, the groups
members were spread over America and Canada. Towards the end of 1985 Irata
and Mr.Zeropage formed the European section. Irata became the groups main
trader. Red Sector ran the first ever Canadian bulletin board. All this was
on the C64, but when the Amiga 1000 appeared in 1986, PBA, MZP, Bill Best,
Irata and ECA all bought one. The first Red Sector intro on the Amiga was
released in early 1987, and was coded by HQC. Twilight coded the second
RSI intro, with music by the father of SoundTracker, Karsten Obarski.
In 1987, RSI entered into their first cooperation, with Def Jam. It was not
only their first cooperation, but the first ever cooperation on the Amiga!
However, it didnt last too long. The C64 section was officially disbanded
in 1988, and everyone moved over to the Amiga. Years later, it was
restarted by Mr.President, Irata and Mr.Cursor, but thats another story.
1988 was also the year of the first big busts. Irata was, for example,
visited by the police in the morning of the 24th of october, but they found
only five disks. RSI had hard times, and started to look at other venues for
their activities. They recruited TCC as their demo division, and 9 months
later their baby was born: the Red Sector Megademo 09/89! This demo took
them to the undisputable top of the demoscene, and made legends of its
makers.
1988 - Danish musician S.L.L 87 joined Bamiga Sector One.
1990 - As a demo group, you can perhaps talk of RSI pre- and post-
Megademo. 1990 started well, with the successful releases of the mag
Criminal 02/90 and the demo CeBit 90 03/90. Onyx left Vision
Factory since he was frustrated with the internal organizing of the group,
and joined in february. Swedish sysop Istvan MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, ex
Empire, 09/90 joined Fairlight. Later in the year they would enter into a
cooperation with Tristar, the result of which we all know. TRSI was born.
Big thanks to an article about TRSI in ROM 4 for massive amounts of source
material for this precise history! Please excuse us if this seems like a
straight rewrite of your article, Mop. If its too close to the original
text, consider it a tribute rather than a ripoff : I really couldnt word
it better than you.
If Dr.Cs real name, Holger Kruse, seems familiar its probably because
hes the author of one of the most-used utilities for Amiga InterNet users
these days, the TCP/IP stack utility Miami.
German musician Bit Arts 02/90 joined Sanity. He did some of the best
tunes for RSIs Megademo 09/89, and is probably best remembered for
that.
German Beatmaster joined End of Century 1999.

review: Words cannot describe what the RSI Megademo meant for the scene
at its time of release. It was a breath of fresh air, a show of force so
powerful that noone dared deny the fact that it was a modern classic from
the moment it was released. The design and - not least - the music gave
it a very special atmosphere that I can safely say is still there when
viewing it today. I have never been more spellbound by a demo, or watched
a demo more times than this. An amazing achievement.
SHD/Mystic made a one file version fixed for HD/AGA. It still had its
flaws graphics/music bugs, endpart crash, but at least it made the demo
available to the new generation Amigas! This review refers to that fix,
and not the original trackloaded demo. Therefore there is no
compatibility reference. glenn

review: The intro preceding Criminal is a classic, and one theyve used
many times before. Theres a flipping scroller across the middle of the
screen, and some different copper-color stuff rolling across the
background. Its actually nicely done, but probably turned a few more
heads when it was first shown in 1988, than it did today. Remarkably, it
ran perfectly on my system, without even the need for KillAGA. And then
theres that truly classic piece of music, Telephone... The intro
announces Onyx as a new member, and the intro was coded by him back in
1988 - used here as a kind of nostalgic nod to the past.
Then we enter the mag itself, which has a quite unique design. Its
built with a small display at the top of the screen, and the rest of the
screen displaying the text. Its controlled with the mouse, and clicks of
the mouse takes you around the pages. Like a lot of the first mags, there
are just numbered pages, and no chapters or anything like that. The
display is white text on a grey background, and has an overall nice
design. Contentwise this issue doesnt really contain a lot, and the joke
pages in German was totally unnecessary, but... The best thing about
Criminal though, is the FEELING - the kind of friendship that only
existed in the oldschool scene, a feeling that these guys actually KNEW
each other, and were good friends. Its something that unfortunately
will most likely never reappear.
The mag was published simultaneously on disk and paper sortof like
Jeff Smarts legendary Illegal for the c64 scene, and was supposed to
come out with a new issue every second month from the start.
Unfortunately, that never happened - this issue was the only one to ever
be released. When you press the EXIT button, the mag resets, but
unfortunately does something strange to the memory too... I softkick 3.1
in my startup, using an application called BlizKick, and after running
Criminal I was suddenly told that the jumpers on my card were not set
correctly for me to softkick. I tried a couple of times, but ultimately
had to turn off and on the machine to make it work... glenn

review: This old Red Sector classic is a formula demo if ever I saw one.
Youve got your logo on top, your scroller on the bottom, and in the
middle youve got yer basic vector effects. Ok, as far as these go, CeBit
isnt the worst you can get. Though hardly worthy the classic title it
has claimed, its still worth a honourable mention for reasonable vector
rutines for the time and OK design. The music, though, is fabulous.
On my machine there were a few minor errors on the vectors, probably
due to the speed of my machine. Ripping the tune is easy, just depack the
executable with xfd or Unpack, and rip it. Its a standard MOD. glenn
