In February of 94, the first ever DARK Colle
ction was released into the
art scene. Considered a talented crew of up and coming artis
ts, DARK was
seen as the source of new blood for groups like ACiD and iCE.
In some
respects, this was true. But...
This is February, 1997, and were going all Dracula on your a
Welcome to the DARK New Year.
Recent Happenings
Joining DARK Illustrated this month are Blackmage, a
promising new VGA
artist, and Fractal, a well-known ANSI artist
with great skill and a fair
sense of adventure when it comes to trying different styles.
Also, wed like to officially welcome Holocaust into
our folds. As most
locals have known for months, Holocaust has been itching to j
oin DARK. The
only thing preventing this was a disagreement among Seniors a
bout ASCII
artists within the group. Well, hOs won his war. : And a
s you can see
by the memberlist, .NFO, FAQ, and logo colly, hes been keepi
ng busy.
Samurai has informed us that hell be taking a leave
of abscence for an
unknown length of time, in order to sort a few personal issue
s out. All
of us hope him the best of luck and swiftest of resolutions.
This year, well finally be retiring the faithful ol DAR
KViewer. Its
been a real pleasure, but Mist of Deaths work of an
d for art is in need
of an overhaul. What will replace it, you ask? Something we
re proudly
naming Nightvision. Stock up on your carrots...
DARKs Best of 96 Re-Collection pack will be out t
his month, barring
any sort of malfunction within group motivation.
DepthNet
As you mayve read a few months ago, EclipseNet, D
ARKs official mail
network, shut down to be replaced eventually with Depth
Net.
Xypher Matryx is pleased to announce that Depth is finally up
and running
after a series of delays. Though not an official DARK system
, most members
can be reached through any of the networks nodes. The infor
mation packet
has been included with this archive for anyone interested.
The Lethal Aspect Online
Another long-awaited project, TLA Online is now available at:
www.interlog.com/xmtrx
This web site will feature many DARK-related links, as well a
s support
for groups and functions the original BBS has to offer.
Les Huh?!
- The 4th Disciple is bringing back his Aphrodite
Zine, for homosexual
zoo keepers who enjoy stroking their eCHO members.
- This trick works for any and all games!
Press CTRL-ALT-DEL, then flip the switch labeled Power. E
nter the
strange mode called reality, laden with 3D graphics, surro
und sound, and
beautiful texturing. Although the campaign seems extensive,
were not so
sure about the flight modeling, and many of the character in
teractions
seem pointless.
-- Computer Gaming World, Issue 151
- The new entry-level position for struggling ANSI rippers:
running around
spewing ACiD propaganda. What better way to get back at al
l those artists
who flamed them, than to praise the non-ANSI route ACiD seems
to have
adopted.
