some more cool stuff, before it ends with a textured tunnel that looks
quite cool. The musics not bad, techno but without the beat. glenn

Hardline was a german demo group, and after they died Touchstone joined
Delicious Designs. Interestingly, every single member of the German section
detailed here was later in Essence...
1990 - German coder Touchstone joined, and this was his first group.
He made lots of PD utilities, some intros, some demos and even a musicdisk
for them.
1991 - The demo Relation 07/91 was released at Energy, Awesome and
Hypnotics party in july.
1992 - After some internal problems, Slicer returned as the groups hq
around january. He took immediate action to strengthen the group, and kicked
out the following members: Mac, Punk, Tai, Crush, 1-Hag M. Neumann, swap,
Shocker and M.Joker. German swapper Trasher left, and subsequently joined
Panic in january. Swapper Lincoln joined TRSI early in the year. LDC gfx
and RTF music joined, but were soon kicked again around june. Ace, Crony
and the german Diabolo Andre Gerke, swap were also kicked, while Toyota
left around june.

review: Once again, a totally unknown group delivers a very good piece of
demo entertainment. This one, though in no way outstanding, is well above
the limits of mediocrity. The graphics are functional, and in some places
interact very well with the code. There are two pieces of music the main
tune is surprise, surprise! techno, but better than the majority of
tehno tunes. The endscreen tune is a more slow, orchestral affair which
is actually rather good. The majority of effects here are of the bitmap
manipulation variety, with zoomrotators and other such things dominating.
There is mention of the fact that this demo was made for standard A1200s.
If this is their idea of a demo for basic A1200, then Id really like
to see what these guys are capable of with some fastmem and an
accelerator... glenn

Haujobb is a German-based demo group, born on the Amiga in 1994, but later
also active over a wide range of other platforms, including the pc, c64 and
even the Playstatiion! Their world leader is XXX.
1994 - Around the middle of the year, Black Raven code and SMT music
joined from Infect, and announced their new group with the dentro Artcore.
1997 - Marc music, No Name code and JCS gfx all doublejoined the
group from Sector 7 towards the end of the year. Finnish coder Speedo joined
from Tribute.
1998 - The two Graphicians Kidlove and Bay Tremore 08-12/97, both of
whom worked on the great My Kingdom 12/97 demo, left to join Scoopex
early 98, making the Haujobb members very angry! Nevertheless, this proved
to be a great year for Haujobb. At Mekka Symposium 98 in april they WON the
demo competition with Aphrodisiae 04/98, and as an extra bonus, were
joined by legendary german musician Virgill.
2000 - Darkus was one of two main editors of the new mag Devotion 1
00, released under the Nah-Kolor label. The mag also announced the group
had been joined by Visualize gfx and Reptile music. Optima joined from
Scoopex two weeks before the party, and his first production for Haujobb,
The Party-winner Megademo 2000 12/00 earned the group the scenery Demo
of the Year award for the second year in a row! It was the crowning moment
of a great year for the group.
2001 - Marcs audio cd Basic Needs was released early in the year, with
cover art done by JCS. Dutch writer Sane previously worked for Seenpoint
under Scoopex decided to reenter the scene, working on Devotion! Nah Kolor
announced the death of Devotion after a single issue, but Haujobb wanted
it otherwise... Englishman Darkus coeditor on first issue was now main
editor, but suddenly decided to leave the scene following a harddiskcrash
sometime around april this is onyl a guess though... He didnt even bother
telling his fellow team members about it! The main bulk of articles for
Devotion 2 was thus written by Sane and Wade, with some support from Ghandy
and Fishwave also ex-scoopex editor!.
German musician Dascon 10-11/96 is now in Essence.
German musician SMT new 08/94-05/95, who joined from Infect together with
Black Raven, left for Artwork sometime between june and december 94.

review: A nice, small production with some good graphics and an ok tune in
the discopop, Jester-vein make for a good debut for Haujobb. Nicely
executed but not advanced code, and a good sense of design is the
topping of the cake on a very acceptable dentro.
This intro announces the joining of SMT and Black Raven from Infect. No
release date appears in the intro, but it was released before the Dooms
Day Party 08-09.10 and after 08/94, which is the date on the module. I
have no idea whether this requires AGA, but probably not. glenn

review: Hey, heres something just a little original! This is actually not
only an intro, but also an ascii collection! Design is fittingly
minimalistic, with the lower 1/3rd of the screen taken up by a scroller
and and fun little animation, and the rest occupied by the ascii. It uses
colors, bold, italics and such too, and is really not a bad little
collection. This is nice and fun, though the chiptune gets on your nerves
pretty quickly : ESC to quit. glenn

review: Four pieces of music from SMT, bookended by a tune each by Jazz
and Syn-T-Size, make up this thrown-together production. Not bad, with
some niceness in both the audial and visual departments, but lacks a
little soul. SMTs A Race Against Time was 7th in the SunnFun

Winner of the Nexus 95 demo competition!
review: Another nicely designed demo by Haujobb, with effects that are
perhaps a little bit weaker than usual. Mostly gouraud and bitmap
manipulation are the order of the day here. The Nexus 7 lamp thing was
something they could have spared themselves, though! For a two disk demo,
this runs a little short imho... Two fullscreen pictures, one by each
artist.
The results file for the Nexus party by Jazz said that a final version
of the demo would be released later. It doesnt seem like this ever
happened, as the one Im reviewing was downloaded from their website in
2000... Originally on two disks, but can be easily installed to harddisk.

code: Fastjack, gfx: Wave, Cyclone/Illusion, music: Mortimer/Royal The

review: Fastjack does a real nice little demo here, with some great design
and fast 3d routines. Theres everything here, from afterburned phong
which I had only seen from Azure before actually! to envmapping and cool
tunnels. The graphical work is also above average, and the music is nicely
different, while staying firmly in a techno style. The demo gives an
overall good impression, though suffers slightly from a lack of pace
towards the end. Not bad at all! Cyclones fullscreen picture is called
Mobile at least thats the filename in my collection... :. Mortimer
usually uses the more extensive handle Mortimer Twang.
Should work on any AGA amiga with enough mem, but 030-50 is recommended.
Should be run from HD, but can also be run from disks, the method is
explained in the enclosed readme file. I experience some initial problems
when attempting to run the file packed with Titanics Cruncher 1.2, but
after manually depacking the file first, everything worked fine. The
version reviewed was the final version just bugfixes, more stable, see
the end of the endscroller to see if it mentions that this is released
after the party - otherwise youve got the partyversion. glenn

review: Harmony opens with what appears to be a raytraced fractal with
logos overlaid, but I have seen have seen way better examples of this kind
of thing. Then it goes on to a very nice fullscreen picture by Dust of a
womans face and some water and mountain scenery in the background, which
it holds on to for unfortunately a little too long, possibly while
precalculating? It then loads and changes tune, and were shown a good,
but anatomically weird pic of a halfnaked mermaid being eaten by sharks
!, drawn by Peachy. Then it shows ANOTHER picture for too long, this
time some digitized though cute girl with some words overlaid...
Both of the included tunes are right there as files in plain P61A

Friendchip issue 1 1996, .12, AGA Multifile Diskmag.
code: Fastjack, gfx: Dust, Wave, Seal clip, Geist/Balance
clip, music: various, editor: Jazz.
review: This first issue of Haujobbs new mag overrided every and any
preconception I might have had - its great! Though originally intended
as a chipmag - sort of picking up the glove after ChipMania - it seems
their project have grown a little out of proportion : What this is -
essentially - is a small diskmag with a nice selection of chippies to
choose from. This, however, brings me to what must surely be a BUG!
I have never actually been able to play a single tune through Friendchip.
Theres simply no sound!? Thankfully, theyve provided an option for
saving the modules out to disk, so thanks to HippoPlayer and the great
multitasking magcode I was still able to listen to them while reading
the mag :D Another great thing about Friendchip is the design and the
graphics - both very very nicely executed.
To conclude, I just have to say that this chipmag has a magcode thats
just as good as for any of the leading diskmags. Its ability to multitask
- like ROM - is especially nice. Im actually running it in the
background right now, so I can switch back and forth if I want to check
anything : Coolness. Eurochart 30 lists the coder as Touchstone/Essence,
for some reason...!? glenn

Winner of the Belgian Scene Event 40k intro competition!
review: This opens with a convincing rotzoomer, and continues with more of
the same with some pretty cool bitmap manipulation effects. The overall
impression is of a very colorful intro mainly based on 2d bitmap effects -
like twirls and rots. It gives a very smooth feel. It ends with a burning
particle effect. glenn

Winner of the Abduction 97 64k intro competition!
review: Certainly a child of a different breed, HJBs Abduction winner is
a nice little intro, I guess, if youre into this techno kind of thing.
Rather than tell you whats in the intro, well just list the routines,
as printed in the text file : bump, blur, radial distortions, DK3D
engine, plasma printf, and just add that theres some wireframe vectors
in there too D To be honest I didnt like this all that much... some
nice routines, but the package fails to excite. Potential is there, but
it lacks the final punch to lift it to greatness. glenn

review: It opens with a cool, zooming Haujobb logo by Bay Tremore and
continues with some typical Mufflermusic. The zooming, twisting tunnel is
another highlight, and also the twirling bumpmap routine that follows it.
You may have gotten the idea by now I quite like this. Its fast, cool
and colorful. Not the worlds most impressive intro, but still very nice.

review: Technically and audio-visually competent at every level, Entering
Hypnosis still fails to impress. The lack of pace, the headache-inducing
music and the jumping screen are all elements that take away some of this
intros interest. It all looks pretty and smooth, but doesnt ENGAGE.

Kingdom by Muffler, Antigotchi by Jazz and FNDR uncredited,
Director: Owl. Winner of The Party 97 demo competition!
Cooperation with Scoopex.
review: My Kingdom is a great demo - as youd expect from a The Party
winner - but surprisingly short. The demo is split into three parts, all
loadable as standalone executables, or run in sequence via a supplied
script. The first thing that struck me about it, was how fast and smooth
all the 3D scenes were. Theres some pretty impressive optimizing behind
getting scenes to run as smoothly as this, and I can do nothing but
applaud. There are several fullscreen pictures, and design is good.
The music is good and unusual, and sounds professional and unorthodox.
As I said in the opening, My Kingdom is a great demo - but Captured
Dreams it aint! With a little more focus, Haujobb will be a BIG group...
This cooperation demo was placed under Haujobbs heading since most of
the people involved in the project seem to be Haujobb members, and its
director was a Haujobb member. A final version was released later,
but without much new stuff - it was virtually identical to the party
release, as the accompanying text file mentions. When someones member
status is uncertain, Ive written /? - this does not mean that this
person is not a member of either group, just that I dont know which
one :. Both modules from the demo were soon after released in extended
versions through the Mono and Monotonik labels. The fact that Jazz
module was in cooperation with FNDR wasnt mentioned in the demo! glenn

review: Now, this is fun - a sense of style! Haupex wont impress you
with its flashy routines or speedy 1x1 phongs - but it will show you a

action, like flashing and the screen jumping. Id REALLY like to know

OK Haujobb logo by Wave. Next is a zooming ball-like effect, before an rgb
effect overlaid on the same logo as earlier. Next is a couple of
variations on the classic interference effect, and then it all ends with
some twisting horizontal bars - the best effect in the demo. The music is
really sub-par quality for Muffler, unfortunately, but fits in with the
overall quality of this demo. Not good. glenn

working on it making it something quite extraordinary. The demo is

doesnt really refract from the enjoyment of the demo, and I find it quite
acceptable. There are three fullscreen pictures by JCS in this demo, all
of which feature girls faces... Presumably at least one of these is his
compopicture for MS98, Native.
This demo was a long time in the coming, originally planned for Assembly
97, then for Saturne 5, then for The Party 97... Owl served as director.
This demo announced that Virgill joined. Please note that the version
reviewed is the fixed version for 040/060 machines. 3d scenes can be
viewed in 640x440 HAM8, using ?? as argument! Theyve used a square root
routine by Touchstone/Essence and c2p routine by Krishna/Scoopex. glenn

Winner of the Assembly 98 64k intro competition!
review: As usual, amazing 3d and great design from Haujobb, brought this
intro straight to the top of the heap at ASM98 this year. This is a
relatively short intro, but in that time, still manages to impress... The
focus is mainly on 3d, mostly cubes for once oldskOOl , but also with a
cool and original logo at the beginning and a rocking ripple effect
towards the end. Not a classic intro, but good - and good enough to win in
this competition. Probably requires AGA... I guess glenn

review: What first strikes you about Mnemonics is its superb design,
with graphics and effects overlaid in a seemingly fluent manner. Effects
are reasonably fast, and the soundtrack engaging if youre into that sort
of thing P. But back to the great design, hehe... This is really a
triumph in that respect, with even the fullscreen pictures having effects
overlaid in some form...Theres an excellent one by JCS here portraying
singer Skin from Skunk Anansie where a small object appears to be
spinning in her hand... just amazing! Can anyone confirm or deny that the
picture in question is JCS Crazee, winner at this party? Kublays
contribution is likely just his fullscreen picture of dinosaurs.
Unfortunately I dont understand much of the endpart, since its all in
German... glenn

a pretty cool little invitation intro for a pretty cool little party

2nd in the Mekka Symposium 2000 64k intro competition.
review: Whooooah! After a rather long spell of precalculation, this intro
throws up some effects that sort-of make me feel the wait was worth it
This is a cool little intro which tries to be welldesigned and different,
but only halfway succeeds. They should get extra kudos for their extensive
use of graphics, unusual to see in such a small 64k production! In the
end though, it does outstay its welcome a little, and should really have
cut back a couple of the not-so-great effects to make a shorter, more
focused package. But by all means, not at all bad! Best parts: The very
first effect, and the tunnel just before the credits. Shame about the
REALLY annoying music. glenn

review: Some very cool design here, and a typically intense Muffler
soundtrack. Some very nice coding too, add up to make me feel that this is
actually a better intro than their 2nd-placer Distorted at the same
party! They use a special kind of shading for several of the parts, that
give it a sort of look of its own... Had it not been for the small fact
that it is terribly short, I am pretty sure this could have won at MS...

2nd in The Party 2000 64k intro competition.
review: Modular is an intro that likely reached its elevated status on
the result list more due to some great design touches rather than
technical excellence... cause these are really nothing but filled vectors.
Excellent filled vectors, but still nothing more. It does go on for a
while though, and it is undoubtedly a beautiful little intro. It looks
great, sounds cool, and for that reason you will all want it. For that,
and for Hellfires mystic woman face... Plus for the cute ansi precalc
screen, which was a nice touch. glenn

Not everything flows every-frame, but its beautiful and FAR from SLOW at
any point! They make a point of how this was made on 060s, but you
wouldnt know it looking at the demo. I could go on and on and on and tell
you about every effect from screen to screen, but you would get tired long
before I could finish and you would get the point I was trying to make
much sooner. Once again I thank you Haujobb, for making my job so much

Devotion 2 Promotional Intro 2001, Intro.
code: Stingray/Darkage, gfx: Wade logo, music: Reed/Damage.
review: The DVN 2 promotional intro has a decidedly oldskool flavour to
it - with oldfashioned effects like a lightsourced vectorcube etc... I
cant help it, I really love this cute little thing! After a slightly
half-assed Devotion logo, it kicks off proper with the aforementioned
lightsourced vector and a cute animated lego-person walking onto the
screen. Following this we get the info part, presenting the new Devotion
staff and the upcoming headlines for the second issue... And pressing the
left mouse button gives the credits before exiting. Very nice oldskool
design, coupled with the cool chipper by Reed, makes this a nice little
intro. Bear in mind, though, that its almost 370k long - proper
oldskoolers could easily crunch this down to 40k... Just kidding, nice
one! glenn

Fishwave/Scoopex and DCS, Ghandy/Darkage.
review: So finally, and to the surprise of most of the scene, the second
issue of Devotion finally saw the light of day. The second issue of a mag
that was declared dead its original releasing group Nah-Kolor, whose
previous main editor had left the scene Darkus - and whose entire
editorial team is new for the second issue. Born out of controversy, this
is still an exciting issue to read. QUALITY is back in the amiga magscene
for good, with a diskmag that shows the same kind of quality assurance
that mags like ROM once had. The mag opens with a great, very original
title picture drawn by Zaac, and a quick click of the lmb later, were
reading Devotion again. The graphics are exactly the same as in the last
issue, not that thats a bad thing at all
But any mag, however graphically appealing, stands or falls on its
editorial content. And I am very, very glad to announce that Devotion does
not fail. In fact, this mag represents the strongest and best display of
scene journalism since the days of ROM! THIS is the kind of mag we want
to read, THIS is how its done! Main editor Wades articles are
engaging, critical and perfectly displays his great knowledge of scenelife
in general - and graphics in particular.
The mag has two title pictures, chosen randomly at startup. While Zaacs
caricature picture is great, Wades blackwhite picture of a partially
submerged beautiful female is just...fabulous. Wow. This picture GLOWS.
The mag requires just a standard A1200, with AGA or a graphics board.

The three additional code credits were awarded since those three

review: This small intro has some thoroughly unexciting effects in it, to
be frank and brutal. That would have been excusable if theyd brought
something new to the effects, but they fail there also. Were given
BLOCKY plasma, copper effects soooo 1989, loose dots not many! and a
dotscroller. I mean, where have these guys been? These are all effects
that were popular back in the old megademo days - late 80s. Considering
the fact that the tune is dated february 1992, its probably a safe
assumption that it was ripped from somewhere. The intro contains no
credits whatsoever.
Based on how it behaves on the two test machines, Ill hazard a guess
that it was written on an A1200 with that machine in mind. On the 500
its slow and flickers in places. Back to the drawing board, guys. glenn

text, a zooming Amiga logo and thee aforementioned frogs. Some of the
answer I believe lie in the tune, which is a remixed version of an
original tune by Scope, a techno artist. I suspect these samples are
rather large. Fun, but not worth the download time. glenn

review: This HZ demo shows some technically competent coders doing
advanced stuff with vectors. Unfortunately, its not really very
entertaining. Theres lots of for its time innovative stuff here, but
it falls into that old effect-text-effect trap. Sometimes, it works like
in The Silents Global Trash. Most of the time, though, it doesnt.
Some of the stuff you get to see is texturemapping, animated texture-
mapping, sphere vectors... You get the picture. The music is adequate,
though - but then again it should be, when its by Danko! glenn

Hardline was a german demo group, and after they died Touchstone joined

detailed here was later in Essence...
1990 - German coder Touchstone joined, and this was his first group.
He made lots of PD utilities, some intros, some demos and even a musicdisk
for them.
1991 - The demo Relation 07/91 was released at Energy, Awesome and
Hypnotics party in july.
1992 - After some internal problems, Slicer returned as the groups hq
around january. He took immediate action to strengthen the group, and kicked
out the following members: Mac, Punk, Tai, Crush, 1-Hag M. Neumann, swap,
Shocker and M.Joker. German swapper Trasher left, and subsequently joined
Panic in january. Swapper Lincoln joined TRSI early in the year. LDC gfx

review: Once again, a totally unknown group delivers a very good piece of
demo entertainment. This one, though in no way outstanding, is well above
the limits of mediocrity. The graphics are functional, and in some places
interact very well with the code. There are two pieces of music the main
tune is surprise, surprise! techno, but better than the majority of
tehno tunes. The endscreen tune is a more slow, orchestral affair which
is actually rather good. The majority of effects here are of the bitmap
manipulation variety, with zoomrotators and other such things dominating.
There is mention of the fact that this demo was made for standard A1200s.
If this is their idea of a demo for basic A1200, then Id really like
to see what these guys are capable of with some fastmem and an
accelerator... glenn

Haujobb is a German-based demo group, born on the Amiga in 1994, but later
also active over a wide range of other platforms, including the pc, c64 and
even the Playstatiion! Their world leader is XXX.
1994 - Around the middle of the year, Black Raven code and SMT music
joined from Infect, and announced their new group with the dentro Artcore.
1997 - Marc music, No Name code and JCS gfx all doublejoined the
group from Sector 7 towards the end of the year. Finnish coder Speedo joined
from Tribute.
1998 - The two Graphicians Kidlove and Bay Tremore 08-12/97, both of
whom worked on the great My Kingdom 12/97 demo, left to join Scoopex
early 98, making the Haujobb members very angry! Nevertheless, this proved
to be a great year for Haujobb. At Mekka Symposium 98 in april they WON the
demo competition with Aphrodisiae 04/98, and as an extra bonus, were
joined by legendary german musician Virgill.
2000 - Darkus was one of two main editors of the new mag Devotion 1
00, released under the Nah-Kolor label. The mag also announced the group
had been joined by Visualize gfx and Reptile music. Optima joined from
Scoopex two weeks before the party, and his first production for Haujobb,
The Party-winner Megademo 2000 12/00 earned the group the scenery Demo
of the Year award for the second year in a row! It was the crowning moment
of a great year for the group.
2001 - Marcs audio cd Basic Needs was released early in the year, with
cover art done by JCS. Dutch writer Sane previously worked for Seenpoint
under Scoopex decided to reenter the scene, working on Devotion! Nah Kolor
announced the death of Devotion after a single issue, but Haujobb wanted
it otherwise... Englishman Darkus coeditor on first issue was now main
editor, but suddenly decided to leave the scene following a harddiskcrash
sometime around april this is onyl a guess though... He didnt even bother
telling his fellow team members about it! The main bulk of articles for
Devotion 2 was thus written by Sane and Wade, with some support from Ghandy
and Fishwave also ex-scoopex editor!.
German musician Dascon 10-11/96 is now in Essence.
German musician SMT new 08/94-05/95, who joined from Infect together with
Black Raven, left for Artwork sometime between june and december 94.

review: A nice, small production with some good graphics and an ok tune in
the discopop, Jester-vein make for a good debut for Haujobb. Nicely
executed but not advanced code, and a good sense of design is the
topping of the cake on a very acceptable dentro.
This intro announces the joining of SMT and Black Raven from Infect. No
release date appears in the intro, but it was released before the Dooms
Day Party 08-09.10 and after 08/94, which is the date on the module. I

only an intro, but also an ascii collection! Design is fittingly
minimalistic, with the lower 1/3rd of the screen taken up by a scroller
and and fun little animation, and the rest occupied by the ascii. It uses
colors, bold, italics and such too, and is really not a bad little
collection. This is nice and fun, though the chiptune gets on your nerves
pretty quickly : ESC to quit. glenn

Winner of the Nexus 95 demo competition!
review: Another nicely designed demo by Haujobb, with effects that are
perhaps a little bit weaker than usual. Mostly gouraud and bitmap
manipulation are the order of the day here. The Nexus 7 lamp thing was
something they could have spared themselves, though! For a two disk demo,
this runs a little short imho... Two fullscreen pictures, one by each
artist.
The results file for the Nexus party by Jazz said that a final version
of the demo would be released later. It doesnt seem like this ever
happened, as the one Im reviewing was downloaded from their website in
2000... Originally on two disks, but can be easily installed to harddisk.

review: Fastjack does a real nice little demo here, with some great design
and fast 3d routines. Theres everything here, from afterburned phong
which I had only seen from Azure before actually! to envmapping and cool
tunnels. The graphical work is also above average, and the music is nicely
different, while staying firmly in a techno style. The demo gives an
overall good impression, though suffers slightly from a lack of pace
towards the end. Not bad at all! Cyclones fullscreen picture is called
Mobile at least thats the filename in my collection... :. Mortimer
usually uses the more extensive handle Mortimer Twang.
Should work on any AGA amiga with enough mem, but 030-50 is recommended.
Should be run from HD, but can also be run from disks, the method is
explained in the enclosed readme file. I experience some initial problems
when attempting to run the file packed with Titanics Cruncher 1.2, but
after manually depacking the file first, everything worked fine. The
version reviewed was the final version just bugfixes, more stable, see

review: Harmony opens with what appears to be a raytraced fractal with
logos overlaid, but I have seen have seen way better examples of this kind
of thing. Then it goes on to a very nice fullscreen picture by Dust of a
womans face and some water and mountain scenery in the background, which
it holds on to for unfortunately a little too long, possibly while
precalculating? It then loads and changes tune, and were shown a good,
but anatomically weird pic of a halfnaked mermaid being eaten by sharks
!, drawn by Peachy. Then it shows ANOTHER picture for too long, this
time some digitized though cute girl with some words overlaid...
Both of the included tunes are right there as files in plain P61A

Friendchip issue 1 1996, .12, AGA Multifile Diskmag.
code: Fastjack, gfx: Dust, Wave, Seal clip, Geist/Balance
clip, music: various, editor: Jazz.
review: This first issue of Haujobbs new mag overrided every and any
preconception I might have had - its great! Though originally intended
as a chipmag - sort of picking up the glove after ChipMania - it seems
their project have grown a little out of proportion : What this is -
essentially - is a small diskmag with a nice selection of chippies to
choose from. This, however, brings me to what must surely be a BUG!
I have never actually been able to play a single tune through Friendchip.
Theres simply no sound!? Thankfully, theyve provided an option for
saving the modules out to disk, so thanks to HippoPlayer and the great
multitasking magcode I was still able to listen to them while reading
the mag :D Another great thing about Friendchip is the design and the
graphics - both very very nicely executed.
To conclude, I just have to say that this chipmag has a magcode thats
just as good as for any of the leading diskmags. Its ability to multitask
- like ROM - is especially nice. Im actually running it in the
background right now, so I can switch back and forth if I want to check
anything : Coolness. Eurochart 30 lists the coder as Touchstone/Essence,
for some reason...!? glenn

Winner of the Belgian Scene Event 40k intro competition!
review: This opens with a convincing rotzoomer, and continues with more of
the same with some pretty cool bitmap manipulation effects. The overall
impression is of a very colorful intro mainly based on 2d bitmap effects -
like twirls and rots. It gives a very smooth feel. It ends with a burning
particle effect. glenn

Winner of the Abduction 97 64k intro competition!
review: Certainly a child of a different breed, HJBs Abduction winner is
a nice little intro, I guess, if youre into this techno kind of thing.
Rather than tell you whats in the intro, well just list the routines,
as printed in the text file : bump, blur, radial distortions, DK3D
engine, plasma printf, and just add that theres some wireframe vectors
in there too D To be honest I didnt like this all that much... some
nice routines, but the package fails to excite. Potential is there, but
it lacks the final punch to lift it to greatness. glenn

With Style 1997, 09.08, AGA 64k Intro.

4th in the Assembly 97 64k intro competition.
review: It opens with a cool, zooming Haujobb logo by Bay Tremore and
continues with some typical Mufflermusic. The zooming, twisting tunnel is
another highlight, and also the twirling bumpmap routine that follows it.
You may have gotten the idea by now I quite like this. Its fast, cool
and colorful. Not the worlds most impressive intro, but still very nice.

5th in The Party 97 40k intro competition.
review: Technically and audio-visually competent at every level, Entering
Hypnosis still fails to impress. The lack of pace, the headache-inducing
music and the jumping screen are all elements that take away some of this
intros interest. It all looks pretty and smooth, but doesnt ENGAGE.
The effects are not awe-inspiring in any way, with a clear dominance on
a color-cycling like effect shown THREE times, with different palettes
and variables! and swirling tunnels. Yawn. glenn

Kingdom by Muffler, Antigotchi by Jazz and FNDR uncredited,
Director: Owl. Winner of The Party 97 demo competition!
Cooperation with Scoopex.
review: My Kingdom is a great demo - as youd expect from a The Party
winner - but surprisingly short. The demo is split into three parts, all
loadable as standalone executables, or run in sequence via a supplied
script. The first thing that struck me about it, was how fast and smooth
all the 3D scenes were. Theres some pretty impressive optimizing behind
getting scenes to run as smoothly as this, and I can do nothing but
applaud. There are several fullscreen pictures, and design is good.
The music is good and unusual, and sounds professional and unorthodox.
As I said in the opening, My Kingdom is a great demo - but Captured
Dreams it aint! With a little more focus, Haujobb will be a BIG group...
This cooperation demo was placed under Haujobbs heading since most of
the people involved in the project seem to be Haujobb members, and its
director was a Haujobb member. A final version was released later,
but without much new stuff - it was virtually identical to the party
release, as the accompanying text file mentions. When someones member
status is uncertain, Ive written /? - this does not mean that this
person is not a member of either group, just that I dont know which
one :. Both modules from the demo were soon after released in extended
versions through the Mono and Monotonik labels. The fact that Jazz
module was in cooperation with FNDR wasnt mentioned in the demo! glenn

review: Now, this is fun - a sense of style! Haupex wont impress you
with its flashy routines or speedy 1x1 phongs - but it will show you a
definitive sense of style and design! The musics timed to some onscreen
action, like flashing and the screen jumping. Id REALLY like to know
which of these two groups Speedo is in, now! Anyway, this is totally
recommended. Groovy! glenn

review: A pretty mediocre production this time, which opens with a pretty
OK Haujobb logo by Wave. Next is a zooming ball-like effect, before an rgb
effect overlaid on the same logo as earlier. Next is a couple of
variations on the classic interference effect, and then it all ends with
some twisting horizontal bars - the best effect in the demo. The music is
really sub-par quality for Muffler, unfortunately, but fits in with the
overall quality of this demo. Not good. glenn

Winner of the Mekka Symposium 98 demo competition!
review: Nice visuals and trancy music introduce us to HJBs winning demo
from MS98. Its one of their best demos, with the combination of strong
coding 3d scenes!, great design, and some fabuoous audio-visual talent
working on it making it something quite extraordinary. The demo is
actually not quite fullscreen, but presented in 320x220 inasted. This
doesnt really refract from the enjoyment of the demo, and I find it quite
acceptable. There are three fullscreen pictures by JCS in this demo, all
of which feature girls faces... Presumably at least one of these is his
compopicture for MS98, Native.
This demo was a long time in the coming, originally planned for Assembly
97, then for Saturne 5, then for The Party 97... Owl served as director.
This demo announced that Virgill joined. Please note that the version
reviewed is the fixed version for 040/060 machines. 3d scenes can be
viewed in 640x440 HAM8, using ?? as argument! Theyve used a square root
routine by Touchstone/Essence and c2p routine by Krishna/Scoopex. glenn

Winner of the Assembly 98 64k intro competition!
review: As usual, amazing 3d and great design from Haujobb, brought this
intro straight to the top of the heap at ASM98 this year. This is a
relatively short intro, but in that time, still manages to impress... The
focus is mainly on 3d, mostly cubes for once oldskOOl , but also with a
cool and original logo at the beginning and a rocking ripple effect
towards the end. Not a classic intro, but good - and good enough to win in
this competition. Probably requires AGA... I guess glenn

review: What first strikes you about Mnemonics is its superb design,
with graphics and effects overlaid in a seemingly fluent manner. Effects
are reasonably fast, and the soundtrack engaging if youre into that sort
of thing P. But back to the great design, hehe... This is really a
triumph in that respect, with even the fullscreen pictures having effects
overlaid in some form...Theres an excellent one by JCS here portraying
singer Skin from Skunk Anansie where a small object appears to be
spinning in her hand... just amazing! Can anyone confirm or deny that the
picture in question is JCS Crazee, winner at this party? Kublays
contribution is likely just his fullscreen picture of dinosaurs.
Unfortunately I dont understand much of the endpart, since its all in
German... glenn

review: A functional invitation intro, with some typically offbeat and
strange graphics by Cyclone! The music is also very much a Virgill
composition. It has a rather strange menu that I used a little time to
work out, actually To make a rather long story short and sweet, this is
a pretty cool little invitation intro for a pretty cool little party

2nd in the Mekka Symposium 2000 64k intro competition.
review: Whooooah! After a rather long spell of precalculation, this intro
throws up some effects that sort-of make me feel the wait was worth it
This is a cool little intro which tries to be welldesigned and different,
but only halfway succeeds. They should get extra kudos for their extensive
use of graphics, unusual to see in such a small 64k production! In the
end though, it does outstay its welcome a little, and should really have
cut back a couple of the not-so-great effects to make a shorter, more
focused package. But by all means, not at all bad! Best parts: The very
first effect, and the tunnel just before the credits. Shame about the
REALLY annoying music. glenn

review: Some very cool design here, and a typically intense Muffler
soundtrack. Some very nice coding too, add up to make me feel that this is
actually a better intro than their 2nd-placer Distorted at the same
party! They use a special kind of shading for several of the parts, that
give it a sort of look of its own... Had it not been for the small fact
that it is terribly short, I am pretty sure this could have won at MS...

2nd in The Party 2000 64k intro competition.
review: Modular is an intro that likely reached its elevated status on
the result list more due to some great design touches rather than
technical excellence... cause these are really nothing but filled vectors.
Excellent filled vectors, but still nothing more. It does go on for a
while though, and it is undoubtedly a beautiful little intro. It looks
great, sounds cool, and for that reason you will all want it. For that,
and for Hellfires mystic woman face... Plus for the cute ansi precalc
screen, which was a nice touch. glenn

review: Make no mistake, this was made on and for 060-50s. Its a file of
almost 10mb, and....its absolutely wonderful. It opens in style,
continues in style and ends mightily - in style. On my 030-50. THANK YOU!
Not everything flows every-frame, but its beautiful and FAR from SLOW at
any point! They make a point of how this was made on 060s, but you
wouldnt know it looking at the demo. I could go on and on and on and tell
you about every effect from screen to screen, but you would get tired long
before I could finish and you would get the point I was trying to make
much sooner. Once again I thank you Haujobb, for making my job so much
easier and more pleasurable. Megademo 2000 is demo of the year 2000.

Devotion 2 Promotional Intro 2001, Intro.
code: Stingray/Darkage, gfx: Wade logo, music: Reed/Damage.
review: The DVN 2 promotional intro has a decidedly oldskool flavour to
it - with oldfashioned effects like a lightsourced vectorcube etc... I
cant help it, I really love this cute little thing! After a slightly
half-assed Devotion logo, it kicks off proper with the aforementioned
lightsourced vector and a cute animated lego-person walking onto the
screen. Following this we get the info part, presenting the new Devotion
staff and the upcoming headlines for the second issue... And pressing the
left mouse button gives the credits before exiting. Very nice oldskool
design, coupled with the cool chipper by Reed, makes this a nice little
intro. Bear in mind, though, that its almost 370k long - proper
oldskoolers could easily crunch this down to 40k... Just kidding, nice
one! glenn

Fishwave/Scoopex and DCS, Ghandy/Darkage.
review: So finally, and to the surprise of most of the scene, the second
issue of Devotion finally saw the light of day. The second issue of a mag
that was declared dead its original releasing group Nah-Kolor, whose
previous main editor had left the scene Darkus - and whose entire
editorial team is new for the second issue. Born out of controversy, this
is still an exciting issue to read. QUALITY is back in the amiga magscene
for good, with a diskmag that shows the same kind of quality assurance
that mags like ROM once had. The mag opens with a great, very original
title picture drawn by Zaac, and a quick click of the lmb later, were
reading Devotion again. The graphics are exactly the same as in the last
issue, not that thats a bad thing at all
But any mag, however graphically appealing, stands or falls on its
editorial content. And I am very, very glad to announce that Devotion does
not fail. In fact, this mag represents the strongest and best display of
scene journalism since the days of ROM! THIS is the kind of mag we want
to read, THIS is how its done! Main editor Wades articles are
engaging, critical and perfectly displays his great knowledge of scenelife
in general - and graphics in particular.
The mag has two title pictures, chosen randomly at startup. While Zaacs
caricature picture is great, Wades blackwhite picture of a partially
submerged beautiful female is just...fabulous. Wow. This picture GLOWS.
The mag requires just a standard A1200, with AGA or a graphics board.

The three additional code credits were awarded since those three

review: This small intro has some thoroughly unexciting effects in it, to
be frank and brutal. That would have been excusable if theyd brought
something new to the effects, but they fail there also. Were given
BLOCKY plasma, copper effects soooo 1989, loose dots not many! and a
dotscroller. I mean, where have these guys been? These are all effects
that were popular back in the old megademo days - late 80s. Considering
the fact that the tune is dated february 1992, its probably a safe
assumption that it was ripped from somewhere. The intro contains no
credits whatsoever.
Based on how it behaves on the two test machines, Ill hazard a guess
that it was written on an A1200 with that machine in mind. On the 500
its slow and flickers in places. Back to the drawing board, guys. glenn

text, a zooming Amiga logo and thee aforementioned frogs. Some of the
answer I believe lie in the tune, which is a remixed version of an
original tune by Scope, a techno artist. I suspect these samples are
rather large. Fun, but not worth the download time. glenn

Hoodlum was a mainly pirate-oriented group...as the name indicates :
Chryseis was their demo section. They are also the last known publishers of
Autopsys World Charts, releasing at least three issues for Hoodlum.
1996 - Their coder, cracker and coorganizer The Black Cat, starting to
feel the heat of the police in his neck, faked his own death by stating in
a cracktro released early this year that he had died of a drug overdose.
World Charts 13 1994, .11, ECS File.
code: n/a, gfx: Angel Dawn, Phase logo, music: Hi-Lite.
review: This issue of WC opens with an atmospheric intro, set to strings
and ritualistic drums. Slowly the words WORLD CHARTS appear onto the
screen, before the inital music ades down to give room to some hard techno
coupled with some graphically excellent environmental-friendly
intitiatives... The thing itself is pretty much the same as always,
though I do miss all the great graphics - a new pic for every category -
of older incarnations. glenn

Trainer Menu 1993, .04, ECS Intro.
code: The Black Cat, gfx: n/a, music: Warhawk by Archon Delta Music 2.0
format.
review: Quite nice really, though mostly for the fabulous chiptune - a
conversion of the music for the c64 game Warhawk. Cool! The entire intro
is done in shades of blue and black, and at the top of the screen is a
mediocre blue Hoodlum logo. Then the middle is occupied with the trainer
options, and the bottom part has two scrollers. That font sure is
familiar, back from the c64 days, even though I cant really name it as
such : Cool music! The release date was identified by text in the binary
itself. glenn

There were two Horizons, both of which existed around the same time.
HZ real was the original Horizon, coming from the C64, while the others
were the cracker and demo group that a.o. had Gaston cracking for them.
Diffrentiating the two is made further difficult by the fact that they
were both based in Sweden :
Virtual Intelligence 1991, ECS File.
code: Boogaloo, Exilon, gfx: Pernod, music: Tomas Danko Jr.
review: This HZ demo shows some technically competent coders doing
advanced stuff with vectors. Unfortunately, its not really very
entertaining. Theres lots of for its time innovative stuff here, but
it falls into that old effect-text-effect trap. Sometimes, it works like
in The Silents Global Trash. Most of the time, though, it doesnt.
Some of the stuff you get to see is texturemapping, animated texture-
mapping, sphere vectors... You get the picture. The music is adequate,
though - but then again it should be, when its by Danko! glenn

here is a fast but simple lightsourced voxel routine. The text screens
are accompanied by a plasma interference thing that also looks quite OK.
