Zenith was formed in the beginning of 1989 by Anome 68000 a few weeks after
the death of Ackerlight. Early Zenith was almost identical to the Swiss
section of Ackerlight : One early leader was Black Arrow 91 Samir took
over world leadership RAW5. Its uncertain from WHO, though. Their second
swiss board DAMNED CITADEL was opened late 91. Inzanes norwegian board
SUDDEN IMPACT was busted in the big norwegian board bust of 1992.
DAMNED CITADEL originally had Neptun as a sysop, and later the sysop was
called Hip. I dont know if Neptun changed handle or left the board to
someone else.
1992 - Finnish Blink/Electron joined with some others to form a finnish
division, but he left later in the year.
Tonec joined Deadline.
French musician Bluesilence joined Devils.
Italians Filippetto code music, ex Vega, 12/92 and Case music sysop THE
NETWORK, both 03/93 both left to join The Silents. This probably meant
the end of Filippettos diskmag Freedom Crack, which he brought with him
from Vega.
Italian swapper Virus ex Grace, new early 93 joined Arise late 93.
However, rumours also says he joined Surprise! Productions.
Cortez left early 93.

American sysop Soultaker BEYOND DEATH joined early 93 from Skid Row,

review: This issue of FC is audio-visually very good, with top-notch but
minimalist input in both code, graphics and music departments. Where it
fails, though, is on the editorial side of things. It looks great, but
there just isnt a lot of interesting stuff to read, Im afraid. The code
has been heavily improved before the release of this issue, they inform
us, and we cant but agree. The last issue I saw of FC was 8 in Vega,
and this ones certainly a lot better than that. Its stable, for one
thing : glenn

review: A chippack that requires 3mb of memory and recommends a 030-50?
I thought they were kidding, but apparently they werent. Anyway, some of
the chippies are OK, so I advise them to loose the coder and painter and
get Buzzer some better people to work with. 030 for a chipper? Jeez...

review: Zenon, with all due respect, Im sure this is cutting edge 3D
and everything, but how about something a little more exciting? Something
with a little more tempo, something with a little originality? You see, BP
fails to excite me. Im sitting there watching your demo, and Im not
feeling the adrenaling rush I got watching Artworks Phi just 10 minutes
ago. You know? That genuine demo enthusiasm kind of feeling saying to
yourself damn, this is GOOD. I can see Mares competence as a coder, but
please - that bumpmap routine was just plain ugly! Im not condemning you
here, just trying to convey my feelings. Keep making demos, Zenon, youre
on the right track...youre just not quite there yet.
Broken Promises is a RISKY name to choose for your demo! As anyone who
knows a little demo mythology will tell you, Broken Promises was to be
the Sanity demo to end all demos, but in the end proved to be nothing
more than an airship: a rumour filled with nothing. For a while though
and this was at the hight of Chaos popularity everyone was waiting for
Broken Promises - the demo to end all demos. This sort of reminds me of
the Enigma 2 fake by Anal Intruders at The Gathering 94 : glenn

Zylon was one of Alpha Flights subgroups, formed in february 1990, before
the entire group decided to liberate itself from AFL, and exist in their own
right. They never made much of themselves on their own, though. They were
probably German based.
Avatar did music for the Sanity demo Dee Groove 12/90. They were
still a subgroup at the time.
American board BELLY OF THE BEAST was busted 09/91!
