review: If I was astounded by the lack of change from issue 8 to issue 9,
Im AMAZED by the fact that this issue is - you guessed it - graphically
identical to the two next issues! The intro picture a dragon this time
seems to be only thing thats different... Contentwise, I found this
issue to be a bit more SCENE than the next two, with a real news section
and other related articles. Some interesting stuff here, especially I
would imagine, if youre a coder! The whole thing seems a little thin
though, and you read through it in a jiffy. There is one quite serious
bug, though: It doesnt make a sound! On my machine, it seems unable to
play a single note...
The intro is really worth a mention. It doesnt require AGA, but seems
to benefit from extra machine power. What it is, essentially, is a series
of graphics twirl effects, with an upscroller overlaid. There are some
great effects here, and the intro doesnt occupy more than 64k! glenn

review: When reading this review, remember that I read this issue
immediately AFTER reading 9 : What strikes me the most is the fact
that these two issues - though separated by a full year - are graphically
100 the same. No new panel, no new code. Whats changed is a different
intro picture, and some different background tiles. Still, I found this
issue to be better, actually. Having read both of them, I feel like maybe
Blitter wasnt in as much contact with the scene during 1996 as he was in
1995. Either way, I find the articles in this issue a lot more
interesting to read. Quality is excellent, so theres not much else to
say. You know what youre getting! glenn

review: Having just read the entire TJ9, from beginning to end, I have a
few observations to share. TJ seems like the minimalists approach to a
diskmag not much flashy stuff, but whats there works well. Graphically
it looks a little like Upstream, with its tiled background. The multi-
tasking code should be optimized, I think - its slightly unresponsive,
even on the 030. Marcs mag tune deserves special mention, as its one of
the best guitar tunes Ive heard in a long while. Really realistic sound!
Article design in TJ is nice, with good contrast between letters and the
background. The TJ homepage is announced, at http://pc23-c801.uibk.ac.at/
blitter/welcome.htm.
Contentwise, what strikes me is that theres not a lot of articles
about the scene as such here, are there? Many of the articles are more
or less totally scene-unrelated, and the ones that are seem to launch
into endless dialogues with themselves over seemingly trivial issues.
Theres no traditional demo reviews, making of articles, interviews...
not even real news! In one way, this is good, since it means The Jungle
has a distinct style of its own. Ofcourse, you cant do anything but
respect Blitter for trying to be different in a diskmag scene thats all
too often stagnant! Because TJ is released as seldomly as it is once a
year, you can forgive Blitter for not concentrating on things like news.
After all, there are enough magazines out there to deal with things like
that. TJ seems to concentrate more on the philosophy of the scene than on
hard facts. Originality is its strength! Dont change a thing, Blitter.
Its highly doubtful if Wolf was still a member when this mag was
released he was a member of Wrath Designs at Assembly 96, and worked on
their demo Gyrate 08/96... glenn
