Oblivion was a danish demo group, born on the ashes of Vixen when they died.

format.
review: The Last A500 is a nice, small, polished production from these
danes - it feels professional from the get go! Its over pretty fast,
tho. It resets the machine when it is done. It was almost certainly not
released at a party. The release date is approximate, based on the release
date of other productions on the same pack where I found this.
It was Boogeymans last ECS production ever. glenn
Wonderland 1994, 07.08, AGA 40k Intro.
code: Boogeyman, gfx: Pride/Stellar, music: Ramosa.
review: Apparently their first AGA production, since the introduction
says Oblivion goes AGA!. This is another one of those early AGA prods,
which meant everyone was using LOTS of colors! Personally, I love almost
each and every one of those. People were experimenting with their new
hardware, doing new cool stuff all the time. No points for guessing Im
looking forward to the PowerPC scene :
Design is impeccable here, about as good as it gets. Coding is also
great, but then AGAin were talking about Boogeyman here. Niceness!

review: To the tones of the very c64-like chiptune, the intro starts
nicely with a stretching zoomrotator. It goes on to a *LOT* of dots
travelling around the screen in some shapes...and thats it. It goes no
further than that, just keeps on showing off those dots. Unbelievably
limited, unfortunately, since whats there is quite competent. glenn

Offence old 1991-1992
NOR Comajim Joachim Rott, music, ex New Wave, new mid92, Vimme gfx, ex
New Wave, new mid92-07/92.
Offence was a norwegian demo group formed by Jawbreaker, Pal and Perplex
from Scoopex late 1991, and one of their first acts was recruiting musician
Lizard from the c64 group Megastyle Inc MSI. Their full memberlist, as
published in Pure Metal Coders and New Waves R.A.W 2 02/92, was Rob
swap, Rex crack, Lord Mindless code, Timewalker music, Lizard
music, Jawbreaker code, Pal gfx and Perplex code.
1992 - They recruited some of the best members from New Wave in the middle
of 1992, and seemed to be headed for greatness. When the group feel apart,
several of the members found their way to the commercial gamesmaking
business instead of back to the scene in new groups. Norwegian coders
Jawbreaker Anders Dybdahl, ex Scoopex and Lord Mindless ex Dual Crew,
07/92 both started working on commercial projects, and RamJet/PMC now
Spaceballs was involved with Jawbreakers latest game. Another one of the
founders, the Norwegian graphician Pal ex Scoopex left the scene to do
graphics for Nintendo games. Fairfax gfx, ex Pure Metal Coders, Moxy
swap, ex Cytax, and Lizard music, ex Megastyle Inc. all joined Andromeda
around october.
Norwegian Peavey joined Devils.
Norwegians Lion ex Vision, new RAW3, Jawbreaker ex Scoopex and
Vigilante trade joined Alliance. For more on Jawbreaker, see the
history section of this entry.
Amitech, sysop THE PHANTOM ZONE, ex Vision, new RAW3, left the scene.
Swedish sysops Bill and Ted CRIME ZONE, ex Skid Row joined Quartex
RAW4.
Norwegian cracker Rex new RAW2 sold his machine and left the scene
RAW4. However, the same mag later claimed he changed his name to Rook
and joined Andromeda... RAW5.
Two of the people closely involved with R.A.W, coeditor Kingpin ex New
Wave, new RAW3 and coder Perplex ex Scoopex, joined Pure Metal Coders

that, this is strictly boring as fuck. I guess Perplex should stick to

review: Now, -THIS- practically REEKS of C64 quality! This is far from a
perfect production, but it doesnt really matter. Its the atmosphere.
Technically its a THX music disk, with music by some of that scenes
most talented players. Not all of the music is equally good, though some
of Arrogances tunes are less than perfect. But these minor shortcomings
are more than made up for by the amazing c64 graphics - made on a real
c64 by a real c64 graphician. This is not Amiga sceners trying to do the
c64. This is c64 sceners doing the Amiga - while avoiding compromise.
If I have to criticize something here, then the control method for
selecting tunes and text is a little hard to control at times, and some
of the effects on the text pages can make them harder to read. But these
are minor issues download and enoy! glenn

Moments 1995, .04, AGA File.
code: Hudi, gfx: Zefir, Sabe design, music: Scorpik P60A format.
2nd in the Eastern Conference 95 demo competition.
review: Oh yes! This demo managed to excite me a little. From the moment
we hear the first bars of the music, to the moment I first saw Bambi, I
knew I was in for a ride. It opens with some Color blur effect, which
arent that interesting, but the next effect sure is. What the demo calls
Cube Cut is actually two lightsourced vector cubes spacecut with each
other. A very nice-looking effect. The show continues with stuff like a
fullscreen 2x2 zoom rotator that rotates a Predator face some SLOW
Goraud shading though they admit it themselves a FAST linedraw routine
that throws some lines around the screen texturemapped black hole
effect and a colorful waving chessboard, like in Sanitys WOC 92.
Throughout the demo, Scorpiks tune is superbly timed to the routines.
I think this tune is one of the most flawless demo tunes Ive heard in
recent years it sort-of reminds of me of early Lizardking cirka
Wild Impressions 2, which can not be a bad thing. The thing that REALLY
charmed me about this demo, though, was the cuuuute graphics by Zefir.
He produces three fullscreen pictures for this demo excluding the Old
Bulls logo, all of which are cute and good. The entire demo opens with
the title screen, which in addition to saying Moments also features a
Bambi-like deer drinking water. Towards the middle theres a picture of
comic book character Asterix, and the entire demo is rounded off with a
picture of a kitten. Very very cuute all of them.
The party report says its a cooperation demo with Tilt, while the
demo itself never mentions Tilt at all. The format of the file is a
little interesting. Its got a header, uncrunched, but with lots of
Crunchmania data files making up the rest of the file. Perhaps its
designed like that to make it memory-economic or to prevent depacker-
ripping... It doesnt stop WRip though : glenn

code/gfx: Sabe, music: Scorpik The Player 6.0A format.
3rd in the Intel Outside 95 64k intro competition.
review: Fade opens with some jumping vector planes, which soon starts
showing off their many colors to create a nice display. Next is a gouraud
shaded vector city, much like the one in Pygmy Projects Extension
08/93, only this one is smaller and MOVES a less like a city :
An apple is up next, and it seems to be z-buffer shaded instead of the
earlier gouraud. I know Ive seen this apple object in other demos, so
its probably a common object... The thing that makes this intro, really,
is Scorpiks fabulous trancy, thumping, wild but disciplined techno tune.
I dont think the intro would have had this much impact without that
tune. Luckily for us, it HAS that tune, hehe... 64k and lots of
entertainment - go download this. glenn

looong time... In fact so long that I have ruled out precalculation :
Strange, especially since they claim it was developed for 030-50 and

FRA Niko Carre Nicolas, gfx, 09/94, Wilfried Sechet Alban, gfx, 09/94.
Oxygene came onto the Amiga demo scene as a breath of fresh air in 1994, as
the first crew as far as I know to come to the Amiga from the Atari scene.
After giving us a host of great demos, they would once again decide to move
onto another platform in early 1996, this time the dreaded PC. Among the
great demos the left behind, we find such classics as Control 08/95 and
Vision 12/95. With them to the pc scene went all their best members,
including coder Oxbab and graphicians Spiral and Mon. These people certainly
left for the PC section: Data swap, Lester code, Mon gfx, Nap, Oxbab
code, Spiral gfx and Leonard code.

review: Oxygenes first production on the Amiga is an OK demo, that I
immediately mistook for an AGA production when the first logos appeared
on screen. I like the music in this one, its got a dynamic feel that
really suits the demo. Also, theres advanced shading and texturemapped
cubes here - unusual for an ECS demo from 1994! glenn

review: Not bad, this demo, and a taster of things to come. The graphics,
especially the stuff from Niko, is quite good. I love his logos and the
tongue picture. The music is quite acceptable in my ears, though
nothing outstanding. As for the code, its competent, but not great.
Theres no wow stuff in here, if you know what I mean.
I am NOT sure whether this is an AGA or ECS production...All the
pictures suggest an ECS prod., while some of the effects are usually

review: Not as immediately appealing as Cuzco, this is still a very
good demo. Theres some nice looking effects, like the fire stuff and a
slight innovation: spacecut between a gouraud object and a texture mapped
one. There seems to be an abundance of Oxygene and Indigo logos here
almost every effect has some sort of graphic inbetween them! Graphically,
Niko continues to impress with his cool logos.
The booting picture, Retina by Spiral, competed in the graphics
competition at the same party. Like in Another Dream Now, Smith delivers
two tunes A main tune and a calmer endtune. Its not terribly good,
though, much more forgettable than his cool tune for Cuzco 04/94.

review: This is a very good demo, actually, with a couple of showstopping
effects. The dungeon anim towards the end is cool, as is the Wipeout
part and the running vector man. These two last parts shows a sense of
innovation, which were not too used to : The soundtrack is the usual
techno, but Clawz does it better than most as usual. He has a quality
that adds a certain groove to everything... Sadly, this was to become
Oxygenes final release on the Amiga their next release was the otherwise
excellent Contrast 04/96 on the pc.
Requires some fast, but accompanying text file says fixed version for
standard A1200 will be released early 96. The version reviewed is NOT the
fixed one, and I dont know if it was ever released. There is also some
information available to suggest that it will NOT work on 040 Amigas.

Oxyron came from the C64 with some of that scenes best coders people like
TTS and Graham made history on the 64. Anyone whos seen an Oxyron demo on
the 64 know what these people are capable of - stuff like Doom routines and
even a good looking, fast zoomrotator! Graham released a 3D engine
B-Engine V0.1 to aminet gfx/aga in june 97, capable of loading Duke
Nukem 3D maps from the PC! Unfortunately it requires an FPU, so I havent
been able to check it out... Hes also the author of the Arc64 utility,
useful for processing C64 files suitable for emulators. And to top it off,
he also worked on a few productions for top german group Artwork. TTS coded
the 3D Doom clone games Trapped and Trapped 2. Other productions by
Oxyron include Mindless bbs intro, Meeting 95 aga intro and Scala 4 aga
demo, cooperation with Phantasm.
1994 - The first ever Oxyron demo on the amiga was released in december,

review: Are these people antichristian or what? This demo opens with an
inverted cross and ends with a pentagram. Anyway, their religious faiths
aside, this little demo is not half bad. Once it gets going, it opens a
rather obnoxious border which looks like grey marble, and which stays
there for the remainder of the demo. Irritating. Anyway, some of the
effects presented in the little box in the middle is a wormhole effect,
fire, two spacecut texturemapped cubes over plasma !, a crystal-mapped
glass vector cube with mirrormapping, and a voxel landscape that tilts
left and right...and thats it. Were quickly shown the credits, a few
brief greetings, and then the aforementioned pentagram. All the effects
were fast and nice on the 030, with no hint of slowdown anywhere.
The music is techno, as usual, but a rather unobnoxious incognito tune.
Not enough mem to run on unexpanded A1200, so it obviously requires some
fast memory. No release date found anywhere in the demo. glenn

28th in The Party 5 demo competition.
review: Exorcism opens with a zoomscroller and follows that with a
rendered title picture by Gandalf. Not a wow start exactly, especially
since none of this is set to music. Next is the not-so-cool logo, and then
the show starts proper, with a lightsource texturemapped sphere spinning
around the screen to the first bars of the not so good techno
soundtrack... Next is fast, smooth fractal zoomer, and then a blocky but
wellexecuted voxel landscape. Then phonged, texturemapped torus comes on,
which is far from the best or fastest Ive seen. A voxeltunnel is next,
which abruptly ends when it commences loading the endpart.
This is a demo of the Doom clone Trapped done by Oxyron members,
which looks quite fast and advanced - especially for 1995. Requires some
fast, dont know how much. glenn

I dont really know how to explain to you what effects are on offer
here, since Ill swear to god there are a couple in here Ive never seen
before! This intro probably wants a machine a little more powerful than
mine it moves a little slowly here and there. And that fractal-animation

review: This intro prerenders gouraud objects, and then show them to the

theres a textscreen, and at the bottom of each of these theres a
percentage counter. Once this reaches 100, youre shown the next object.
Unfortunately, this is the only routine in the intro.
The rest of the space is occupied by some excellent audiovisuals,

looking forward to the PowerPC scene :

Technically its a THX music disk, with music by some of that scenes

of Arrogances tunes are less than perfect. But these minor shortcomings
are more than made up for by the amazing c64 graphics - made on a real
c64 by a real c64 graphician. This is not Amiga sceners trying to do the
c64. This is c64 sceners doing the Amiga - while avoiding compromise.
If I have to criticize something here, then the control method for
selecting tunes and text is a little hard to control at times, and some
of the effects on the text pages can make them harder to read. But these
are minor issues download and enoy! glenn

review: Oh yes! This demo managed to excite me a little. From the moment
we hear the first bars of the music, to the moment I first saw Bambi, I
knew I was in for a ride. It opens with some Color blur effect, which
arent that interesting, but the next effect sure is. What the demo calls
Cube Cut is actually two lightsourced vector cubes spacecut with each
other. A very nice-looking effect. The show continues with stuff like a
fullscreen 2x2 zoom rotator that rotates a Predator face some SLOW
Goraud shading though they admit it themselves a FAST linedraw routine
that throws some lines around the screen texturemapped black hole
effect and a colorful waving chessboard, like in Sanitys WOC 92.
Throughout the demo, Scorpiks tune is superbly timed to the routines.
I think this tune is one of the most flawless demo tunes Ive heard in
recent years it sort-of reminds of me of early Lizardking cirka
Wild Impressions 2, which can not be a bad thing. The thing that REALLY
charmed me about this demo, though, was the cuuuute graphics by Zefir.
He produces three fullscreen pictures for this demo excluding the Old
Bulls logo, all of which are cute and good. The entire demo opens with
the title screen, which in addition to saying Moments also features a
Bambi-like deer drinking water. Towards the middle theres a picture of
comic book character Asterix, and the entire demo is rounded off with a
picture of a kitten. Very very cuute all of them.
The party report says its a cooperation demo with Tilt, while the
demo itself never mentions Tilt at all. The format of the file is a
little interesting. Its got a header, uncrunched, but with lots of
Crunchmania data files making up the rest of the file. Perhaps its
designed like that to make it memory-economic or to prevent depacker-
ripping... It doesnt stop WRip though : glenn

code/gfx: Sabe, music: Scorpik The Player 6.0A format.
3rd in the Intel Outside 95 64k intro competition.
review: Fade opens with some jumping vector planes, which soon starts
showing off their many colors to create a nice display. Next is a gouraud
shaded vector city, much like the one in Pygmy Projects Extension
08/93, only this one is smaller and MOVES a less like a city :
An apple is up next, and it seems to be z-buffer shaded instead of the
earlier gouraud. I know Ive seen this apple object in other demos, so
its probably a common object... The thing that makes this intro, really,
is Scorpiks fabulous trancy, thumping, wild but disciplined techno tune.
I dont think the intro would have had this much impact without that
tune. Luckily for us, it HAS that tune, hehe... 64k and lots of
entertainment - go download this. glenn

Strange, especially since they claim it was developed for 030-50 and

Oxygene came onto the Amiga demo scene as a breath of fresh air in 1994, as
the first crew as far as I know to come to the Amiga from the Atari scene.
After giving us a host of great demos, they would once again decide to move
onto another platform in early 1996, this time the dreaded PC. Among the
great demos the left behind, we find such classics as Control 08/95 and
Vision 12/95. With them to the pc scene went all their best members,
including coder Oxbab and graphicians Spiral and Mon. These people certainly
left for the PC section: Data swap, Lester code, Mon gfx, Nap, Oxbab
code, Spiral gfx and Leonard code.
Leonard worked on the game Shaq Fu for the Sega Megadrive, and
participated on the game Fade To Black on the pc, and is working for
Delphine Software. Spiral is working for Cryo. Oxbab did the 3d real time
introduction for Captain Blood on the Macintosh.

musician Smith Delteil Herve left the scene in the first half of 1995.

review: Oxygenes first production on the Amiga is an OK demo, that I
immediately mistook for an AGA production when the first logos appeared
on screen. I like the music in this one, its got a dynamic feel that
really suits the demo. Also, theres advanced shading and texturemapped
cubes here - unusual for an ECS demo from 1994! glenn

nothing outstanding. As for the code, its competent, but not great.

review: Not as immediately appealing as Cuzco, this is still a very
good demo. Theres some nice looking effects, like the fire stuff and a
slight innovation: spacecut between a gouraud object and a texture mapped
one. There seems to be an abundance of Oxygene and Indigo logos here
almost every effect has some sort of graphic inbetween them! Graphically,
Niko continues to impress with his cool logos.
The booting picture, Retina by Spiral, competed in the graphics
competition at the same party. Like in Another Dream Now, Smith delivers
two tunes A main tune and a calmer endtune. Its not terribly good,
though, much more forgettable than his cool tune for Cuzco 04/94.

review: This is a very good demo, actually, with a couple of showstopping
effects. The dungeon anim towards the end is cool, as is the Wipeout
part and the running vector man. These two last parts shows a sense of
innovation, which were not too used to : The soundtrack is the usual
techno, but Clawz does it better than most as usual. He has a quality
that adds a certain groove to everything... Sadly, this was to become
Oxygenes final release on the Amiga their next release was the otherwise
excellent Contrast 04/96 on the pc.
Requires some fast, but accompanying text file says fixed version for
standard A1200 will be released early 96. The version reviewed is NOT the
fixed one, and I dont know if it was ever released. There is also some
information available to suggest that it will NOT work on 040 Amigas.

Oxyron came from the C64 with some of that scenes best coders people like
TTS and Graham made history on the 64. Anyone whos seen an Oxyron demo on
the 64 know what these people are capable of - stuff like Doom routines and
even a good looking, fast zoomrotator! Graham released a 3D engine
B-Engine V0.1 to aminet gfx/aga in june 97, capable of loading Duke
Nukem 3D maps from the PC! Unfortunately it requires an FPU, so I havent
been able to check it out... Hes also the author of the Arc64 utility,
useful for processing C64 files suitable for emulators. And to top it off,
he also worked on a few productions for top german group Artwork. TTS coded
the 3D Doom clone games Trapped and Trapped 2. Other productions by
Oxyron include Mindless bbs intro, Meeting 95 aga intro and Scala 4 aga
demo, cooperation with Phantasm.

review: Are these people antichristian or what? This demo opens with an
inverted cross and ends with a pentagram. Anyway, their religious faiths
aside, this little demo is not half bad. Once it gets going, it opens a
rather obnoxious border which looks like grey marble, and which stays
there for the remainder of the demo. Irritating. Anyway, some of the
effects presented in the little box in the middle is a wormhole effect,
fire, two spacecut texturemapped cubes over plasma !, a crystal-mapped
glass vector cube with mirrormapping, and a voxel landscape that tilts
left and right...and thats it. Were quickly shown the credits, a few
brief greetings, and then the aforementioned pentagram. All the effects
were fast and nice on the 030, with no hint of slowdown anywhere.
The music is techno, as usual, but a rather unobnoxious incognito tune.
Not enough mem to run on unexpanded A1200, so it obviously requires some
fast memory. No release date found anywhere in the demo. glenn

review: Exorcism opens with a zoomscroller and follows that with a
rendered title picture by Gandalf. Not a wow start exactly, especially
since none of this is set to music. Next is the not-so-cool logo, and then
the show starts proper, with a lightsource texturemapped sphere spinning
around the screen to the first bars of the not so good techno
soundtrack... Next is fast, smooth fractal zoomer, and then a blocky but
wellexecuted voxel landscape. Then phonged, texturemapped torus comes on,
which is far from the best or fastest Ive seen. A voxeltunnel is next,
which abruptly ends when it commences loading the endpart.
This is a demo of the Doom clone Trapped done by Oxyron members,
which looks quite fast and advanced - especially for 1995. Requires some
fast, dont know how much. glenn

This is also a good routine, which even has some background graphics.

have impressed us massively in the past - on several platforms :D
I dont really know how to explain to you what effects are on offer
here, since Ill swear to god there are a couple in here Ive never seen
before! This intro probably wants a machine a little more powerful than
mine it moves a little slowly here and there. And that fractal-animation
stuff is a thing of beauty! No credits appear anywhere in the intro.

code: Drareg, gfx: Xevious 3d, music: Muffler/Loveboat.
2nd in the Satellite 2 64k intro competition.
review: Sure... Slepless nights filled with emotions, urge and desire.
Humans life is only a game played to satisfy animal impulses. In this
64kb presentation Ozone takes you on the journey at dark side of our
nature. Beware!
One of the best modern designed intros ever made for amiga. God as main
creator penetrates his? non standard sexual preferences. Photos of women
faces dressed with leather s/m masques, shots of legs and other bodys
parts. 3D face with teevee screens placed in eyeholes and instead of
mouth. Rendered objects showed in cutted parts of screen. Little
blackwhite pictograms spreaded everywhere. Big dark face inside a field
of chaotic points. Grotesque dark bodys shapes with mouth/eyes/etc.
clipparts placed on them. Mufflers breakbeat sound. Pure audio-visual
energy. And dont forget to read texts bout girls. Lot of them...
Watch - watch - watch - watch. And really enjoy it! kempy

code: Morph, gfx: Kurczak, music: Excell.
Released for the Intel Outside II 64k intro competition.
review: This intro prerenders gouraud objects, and then show them to the
user, one at a time. The way this works is that inbetween each object
theres a textscreen, and at the bottom of each of these theres a
percentage counter. Once this reaches 100, youre shown the next object.
Unfortunately, this is the only routine in the intro.
The rest of the space is occupied by some excellent audiovisuals,
including two very good logos by Kurczak. Definitely worthy of download.
