-
- »CL1:In the last EuroChart I totally
- updated my scene-report and thereby
- removed all the dead and inactive
- groups. This means I'll only focus on
- the active groups that manage to come
- up with an Amiga production now and
- then. I'll also skip groups with
- members who aren't able to come up
- with productions on their own, or
- making mainly non-Amiga productions.
- The result should be that this
- scene-report cover the active forces
- of the small norwegian scene! So if
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- you miss your group among the teams
- mentioned in this report start getting
- active on Amiga!
-
- »CL8: APATHY
-
- »CL1:- The group has produced lots of
- productions during the latest years
- from intros and demos, to musicdisks
- and packs. At the Gathering party two
- years ago Apathy managed to come 2nd
- in the intro competition with their
- AHA-Remix. They also released the
- demo Wormhole at The Mekka-Symposium
- party that year, and the Polish
- members released the slideshow Klimat
- at the Kindergarden party last year.
- They released Digital Chips 31 in July
- 2002. At the Kindergarden party 2003,
- they released the intro Haakan in coop
- with UpRough which is their last
- productions so far.
-
- »CL0:Well-Known Productions: Feedback,
- Dreams, SBS, AHA, Wormhole and
- AHA-Remix.
-
- »CL1:Well-Known Members: Strife, Maze,
- Chriz and Leia.
-
- »CL8: CONTRAZ
-
- »CL1:- Contraz has been one of the best
- norwegian teams the latest years with
- many releases; both intros and demos.
- I first noticed them at the
- Gathering'95, and afterwards they've
- improved quite much. The group is a
- result of two crews joining forces;
- NSS and Black Spiders, and some of the
- members have been sceners for a real
- long time. The latest releases I've
- seen were the Kindergarden Invitro
- released in February and at the
- Gathering party in April they released
- the demo Micromonster. Contraz also
- organized the Kindergarden party 2003,
- and will arrange another KG party in
- September 2004. Accede is making a
- game called Civtarion under the
- Trilobit Microsoftware label.

-
- »CL8: DEPTH
-
- »CL1:- They have been in Norway since
- around 1994 I think. The last Amiga
- production I saw from them was the
- dentro Arcane Lugter released at the
- Kindergarden party last year. It was
- done in cooperation with the Danish
- members. But they also released a
- contribution in the wild compo at the
- Kindergarden party this year, it was
- called Playdoh Mansion. Some members
- also participate in music compos at
- lots of parties each year.
-
- »CL0:Well-Known Members: Allanon, Sprocket
- and Slumgud.
-
- »CL8: EPHIDRENA
-
- »CL1:- This is the leading norwegian team
- these days after the departure of
- Andromeda, perhaps in some competition
- with groups like Spaceballs and
- Contraz. They are also one of the
- leading international groups these
- days. Ephidrena got founded in mid
- 1995, and have been very active the
- latest years with lots of demos and
- intros. Their big breakthrough got to
- be with the winning Concrete demo at
- the Party 9, but of course they've
- also made some great intros that have
- done good at various parties. The
- latest releases I saw from them was
- the demo Fake Elektronik Lightshow
- released at the Gathering party, and
- the 4k intro Fistpig released in coop
- with Spacballs at the Assembly party
- this year. Rumours are indicating
- Ephidrena will come up with a 4k intro
- at the Breakpoint 2004 party.

-
- »CL8: GODS
-
- »CL1:- This group got founded in 1994 and
- was very active the next 3 years. The
- latest years they have not been very
- active on Amiga. The norwegian side
- of this crew was probably at its best
- around 1995. They were behind a
- certain diskmag called D.I.S.C. and
- some slideshows. The demos and intros
- were mainly done by the French coders
- in cooperation with the norwegian
- graphicians. In any case, DISC 14 in
- coop with IRIS released at the
- Kindergarden party this year, was
- their latest release so far, in
- addition to the small intro released
- for the EuroChart issue 47.

-
- »CL8: SCENIC
-
- »CL1:- This is a new group founded by Fusko
- and Pix last year. It's quite special
- as it only consists of graphicians.
- The group will mainly cooperate with
- other groups and make the entire
- design in productions for them. At
- the moment Scenic is also working on
- slideshows, both on Amiga and PC. It
- was supposed to be released at the
- Mekka-Symposium last year, but is
- still not out.
-
- »CL0:Well-Known Members: Fusko, Orome and
- Pix.
-
- »CL8: SPACEBALLS
-
- »CL1:- This is a legendary crew that got
- founded back in 1989. It has had lots
- of famous members, like Dark Helmet,
- Lone Starr, Lord Helmet, Vinnie and
- Major Asshole to mention a few. It
- has also released lots of quality
- productions during this period, most
- famous are probably Wayfarer, State Of
- The Art, RAW and 9 Fingers. The
- latest years they have been even more
- active with Slummy as the coding-force
- behind all productions. They've won
- the demo compo at the Gathering Party
- amazingly 4 times, but not this year.
- Their demo We were Dark Helmets came
- third in the coop Amiga/PC compo.
- Their 4k intro Timur Lenk in coop with
- Ephidrena won the BP party. The last
- production from Spaceballs so far, is
- the 4k intro Fistpig in coop with
- Ephidrena released at the Assembly
- party this year. Some more
- productions are expected from them
- around Easter 2004.

-
- »CL8: SQUIRRELZ
-
- »CL1:- This is a very special team. In
- addition to being something so rare as
- a new group in the norwegian scene, it
- also contains only females. However,
- the only Amiga productions I've seen
- from them so far were Rabb-It and
- Spinner. But those were obviously not
- done by them, hehe... At the Trsac 3
- party they released the wilddemo The
- Obstacle Test, and at the Kindergarden
- party this year they released another
- contribution in the wildcompo. Leia
- is also a member of various other
- groups, Mawi being the latest.

-
- »CL8: VOID
-
- »CL1:- According to my knowledge the only
- norwegian member of this group, is now

- back in business again. In any case,
- he has released several issues of the
- mag Saxonia and also released the
- 4k-intro Bobflow at the Kindergarden
- party.
