S U R V E Y on the year 1989
----------------------------
We are writting the 8th december,1989 and their are only 23 days
till we hear again:'let's drink and say hello 1990!' and so on !
Therefore I'll try to give you a little survey on this year and
what ha happend about this magazin !
january till march 1989:
The year starts as most of the other years !The softwaremarket
calms down after the wild time around christmas,when we had to
accept that more than 80 percent of all new games is rubbish.
Within the so called 'Hackerscene' we've got the first big crash,
when the police arrested some german hackers,which managed to get
with their homecomputers into the defensesystem of the united
staates and sold their found information to the russian secret-
service KGB.During this time,somewhere near Bonn an unknown
programer has got the idea to publish a magazin on disk. Some
routines have been wrote and tested and he decided to puplish the
magazin only for colour monitors !
april till june 1989:
The time when we all want to make hollidays ! The softwarefirms
get asleep and the normal magazins reduce their frequency (hello
ASM) and .... and the hackers are more active then ever.During
this time the demowave grasps whole europe.First product is the
'define demo' by the lost boys from london.Then we got the
'Whatahach Demo' and as the best demoproduct of the year 1989 we
got the 'cuddly demo' published by the magic carebears. They show
that almost everything is possible with an ST.Some great
frontiers are broken.Another event:the first issue of the unknown
disk magazin appears and nowbody wants to have it ! What is the
included fault ????
july till septembre 1989:
It was a windy autuum.Their is a lot of new software on the
market.Much average software,a lot of garbage but sometimes we
found a new great game.And their's a new leader within the
shoot'em up's ! no,no R-Type ten and no Menance five.The name of
the game is Xenon II ! Everybody who likes shoot'em up's must
have this game.At the beginning of this game you hear,I think the
best digisound of the year 1989.Also on 512 KByte STs it'll beat
you and your ears up so ..... get the Hit !After this theirs a
great game with great grafics,much extras and super motivation !
Much things happen during this autuum and somewhere in germany,
one person tries to find the mistake of his magazin on disk.
After some time,he started another issue in the middle resolution
and we have got ...... the Disk MAGAZIN !
october till december 1989:
It's christmastime ! Now let's buy some software , this what most
of all the little ST-Users thing.Buy and again buy whatever you
can get for your homemachine.Most of the softwareproducers know
this and therefore they produce as much games as possible ! We
find a lot of rubbish,some average games and only very little
great games. The third issue of the Disk MAGAZIN is send to
Sweden to a group called 'The Carebears' with the hope to get a
good resonance and a new intro.The resonance was great and you
can see the rest in form of this megaintro by THE CAREBEARS !!!
This was our little on this year.I hope it was an as great year
for you as for me ( and the rest of the Disk MAGAZIN team ) ! We
wish you a great 1990 and don't forget to read ....... right the
Disk MAGAZIN !!!!!!!!!
