Union was formed in 1992 by members of the groups Deform, Action Direct and
Katharsis, based around the city of Warzaw, Poland. A very fitting name for
a union of three groups... Their main claim to fame must surely be their
amazing coder Musashi, who undoubtedly was Polands 1 coder. Also, Hali is
the author of the music utility program MOD2SAMP. They are also the long
standing arrangers of the Intel Outside parties in Poland. They also
released the disk mag ZigZag. The Union brand is still around in the form
of a company formed by Docent http://www.union.pl.
1992 - The group was formed, and two small intros were released.
1993 - After releasing a small and unsuccessful 9th place intro at The
Gathering in april, the group got its act together and released the classic
demo Hallucinations and Dreams 05/93 at the Mountain Congress in may,
for which they were awarded second place in the competition. As far as weve
been able to see no more releases were made this year. Musician Snoopy
joined Energy sometime between august and december. It is possible that he
later returned... Late this year Animal gfx, 12/92-, Katani, Tom code,
12/92-, Python gfx, 12/92-, Pluto 12/92-, Seq 12/92- and XTD music,
12/92- all left to join the newly formed polish section of TRSI.
1994 - April saw the group arranging their first party, the Primavera 94
in Starachowice, Poland. Supposedly they released a demo at this party
Ambrozja, 7th position, but we have been unable to find any record of it
outside of the party results... The party arranging duties must have been a
good experience, because only four months later, in august, they were
coarrangers of the Intel Outside 94 in Warzaw with Mystic. Here they
competed in the graphics competition, but not in the intro or demo. Polish
graphician Lazur left for TPDL the group built by former Union members Tom
and Python together with Dreamer/TRSI in september. Their next real release
came with the intro RGB 11/94 at Gelloween in november, to a
disappointing 6th position. They rounded the year off with another demo at
The Party in denmark Beyond the Future 12/94 finished 9th in the
competition.
1995 - Primavera 95 was arranged in march this time. I have no official
info on who arranged it, but it was probably Union once again. They released
the demo Zoombi 03/95 at the competition, to a third position, and the
intro The Remains of the Pizza 03/95 which finished second. September
saw the group coarranging Intel Outside II, once again in cooperation with
Mystic. The demo competition at this party was a great triumph for the
group, securing BOTH of the top spots in the competition with the demos
Tear Down The Wall 09/95 and Braincell 09/95 respectively! They also
triumphed in the intro competition, though its still uncertain which of
their two entries was the winner, since the results just quote groups...
They also secured the top two positions in the video demo category with
Illuminate and Flash of Hope.
1996 - For the Intel Outside Party 3 in august, they were now sole
arrangers. They also released the demo Your Amiga Can Do This 08/96 for
the competition, though it did not finish in the top three. Their video demo
Rave Extreme won the video demo competition. Their video demo success
continued at the Gravity 96 party in november, where they once again won
with the video VHS Number Three.
1997 - They were coarrangers of Intel Outside 4 in july.
1998 - Their first production for years came with the release of IO Party
5 Invitation 08/98 at Quast 98, to a 7th position in the demno comp

Winner of the Intel Outside II 64k intro competition!
review: Not a bad little intro, though perhaps not quite good enough to
reach the very top of the competition. There are some very good routines,
like the impressive voxel terrain and the fullscreen HAM zoom rotator.
The music is nice too, with a very distinct c64 flavour to it. Not bad at
all, is my conclusion :
If you run the demo with the parameter ?, like Rotate.exe ? youll
be presented with a number of options, like running without sound,
showing some messages and playing the hidden game. The game is a kind of
simple airhockey variation. This was PPs first intro for Union. glenn

Winner of the Intel Outside 95 demo competition!
review: Heavily based on Pink Floyds The Wall music and film, that is
what the first part of this Musashi tour-de-force occupies itself with.
Using demo effects, it recreates several moments from the film, while a
sampled rendition of the music plays in the background. Or tries to play,
since my machine 030-50 wasnt fast enough! As a result, it jerked and
played the music in jerks and spurts. I was much relieved when the second
part started, with NORMAL protracked music...It made the routines a whole
lot more enjoyable to watch :
The second part is what Id describe as the demo part of the show.
Heres where Musashi gets to do the usual phongs, bumps, zooms,
spacecuts and even a rather wild little doom without sticking to any
specific theme. In my opinion, this is the best part of the demo.
I felt that the theme of the first part was a little limiting for some of
his routines, making him unable to show their true potential. Here he can.
One major drawback about the entire demo, however, must surely the ever-
present shading. This is not the usual right-left pixel or every other
pixel is black kind, however. It seems a little more flexible and
variable, but is still quite annoying. I understand that it requires
less raster time, but that doesnt mean I have to like it Musashi must
have used some kind of amazing internal compression to squeeze all this
into one single 867k file - Id expect the sampled music alone to take
that much!! To conclude: Wow! Obviously requires some fast. glenn

Up Rough appears to be mainly a music label, and it seems their first
products were released around 1998 - at parties like Icing 98 and
Compusphere X, indicating this is a Swedish group. Theyve even released
things such as samplepacks etc.
1999 - Their first real coded production was released at Icing 99. The
intro, called Introducin 05/99, came fifth and last in the competition,
and was coded by Blueberry/Efreet.

review: Well, this functions more as a music video for the hip-hop/jazz
soundtrack than as a demo. The visuals are all related to the music, and
there are more images than effects. I am generally bored by these kinds of
productions, but some people might find this interesting I guess. Up Rough
is a music group, and music is what they do best, so it shouldnt really
surprise anyone that music is what this release is all about. The Up
Rough Success Index was a fun idea, tho! glenn
