Display :PAL& This disk features software charts&compiled from the votes of this&magazine's worldwide readership.&Other sections include news of the&demo scene, pictures, letters, adverts
and a photo gallery.& This is a well put together&magazine. The charts are way out of&date now of course but it still&represents an interesting snapshot of&the demo scene as it was a year or so&ago. Over 30 snapshots in fact in a&gallery of nicely digitised black and&white photos of various persons (from&those hospitialized to those on the&run) from various groups which are now
no doubt mostly defunct.% The charts themselves are top tens
of megademos, games, utilities,

&Artists, coders, musicians etc.&Nicely done and taken from a poll of&453 votes and every voter gets their&name in the magazine - all very&democratic. I wonder what the margin&for error is? Makes you wonder how&the music charts are put together eh?&That's a job for all you statistic-&ians out there. Can you work out how%many singles are sold nation-wide by%the wild fluctuations at the bottom%of the top fourty? Me thinks ten or!so must be enough to make it in. %Top of the utilities chart was - ahem%- Xcopy Professional. One hopes they%have moved on to more fulfilling and
productive software since then.% In the EuroNews section is page%after page of who's left which group%and to which group they've gone.&Examples - "Paralysis, former&Phenomena sysop of Paranoia, joined&Vertigo!", "Former Artemis member&Zoolook changed his name to Peace&Productions. He's still involved in&making the magazine Toilet Paper along&with Death/Exotic Men.", "Woofer left&Z.A.G. and joined THEM.", "Tesh left&Z.A.G. and joined Cytax.", "Z.A.G. is

&Dead.". And so on and on and on. A&sociologist's paradise. Someone&should do a thesus on the scene before&the opportunity slips by. But on&reflection perhaps a pathologist would
be more suitable for the job.& Also included are heaps of&advertisements and it's refreshing to&see the odd "Legal Stuff Only" sign up&amongst all the swapping requests and'the "No Lamers" signs. With high'quality music, art, animation,'modeling, programming and presentation'software now available for the Amiga'their should be enough home-made stuff'flying around to keep any software'collection topped up. And if anyone'thinks there isn't then they should'buy some of the above said software'and get creating. Perhaps then they2will appreciate why the professionals get annoyed
when their work is ripped off.2 There's also your last chance to send in2photos for the "Hot Sisters Competition". (No2need to grab your camera's guys, the deadline's2long gone.) And surprisingly non-nudes are2perfectly acceptable. The language is also pretty2mild as disk magazines go - almost acceptable for2your sister to read. There's also the usual2scroll, with a story included - Episode 5 of Ken!2I didn't get too far into this what with the2scroll going one way and a picture above it2scrolling the other, blindness was approaching2fast. Good scene setting in a city of the future
though.1 All in all a good disk magazine. I'm unaware1if it's still in production as a year's a long1time in the demo world but they do offer a six1month's subscription or a two disks for one*service if you just want the next edition.
