Welcome to the first in a series of
'message-boxes' in which I, RAISTLIN of
ANARCHY, will write about all kinds of
things, ranging from messages for my
contacts to personal views on
controversial subjects, etc... Anyway,
we'll see how things develop as I go
on... Please note however that this is
definately NOT another magazine - I saw
enough of those on the C64 to last me a
lifetime!
OK, here I go with a few notes to pals
and contacts of mine...
Mr.Big and Judge Drokk of Anarchy...
Thanks for taking me on as a member of
Anarchy guys! I will learn 68000 over
the summer-break, so you may see
something in the way of a demo from me
soon!!! Phone us soon OK!
Mole of Anarchy.. Thanks for all the
hot warez (cliche or what?)... Keep the
Mole-packs coming, they are always cool!
Hammer of Anarchy.. Well, what can I
say? I guess you read in the message to
Mr.Big and JD (Don't you know it's rude
to read other peoples mail?...) that I
will learn to code in 68000 over the
summer-hols... I doubt I will be able
to do anything good enough for the
Anarchy-mega-demo in time, but you never
know!...
Kreator of Anarchy.. Why am I writing a
message to you when you sleep in the
room across the hall from me?!? (You
are my brother after all!!!)... Anyway,
good luck with the filled-vectors-intro!
Cowson of Rubidium.. Hmm, not a bad
sending, but you obviously aren't very
interested in swapping!.. Anyway, write
soon!
Pioneer of Anarchy.. I guess you won't
be too pleased about being greeted so
low down... (hehe!) You will get this
'demo' (?) sometime around your
birthday, so I might as well say "Happy
Birthday" (I'll probably forget on the
day (whenever that is?...))
Edward of SCS.. Ta for driving us home
so many times!... Why not get Pioneer
to show you how to code demos so you can
join Anarchy? (You have to be good to
join the elite... (?!?))
Nosah of DCS.. Shame you had to quit
the scene, you were one of the best...
Igor of Anarchy.. Nice talking to you
on the phone... I express myself better
on paper, honest! I like your music
anyway!.. (well, some of it...) Your
logos are really cool, I hope we can
work together when I finally learn to
code on Amiga!
4-Mat of Anarchy... I haven't contacted
you yet, mainly because John and Mike
have kept me up to date with your (quite
superb) music!... You are one of the
best musicians on the Amiga, up at the
top with 'Dr.Awesome' and 'Romeo
Knight'!
Robert Brammeld.. I have never really
tried to code a full game on any
computer - I don't have much patience
you see... I like to get things
finished as fast as possible (a lot of
guys complained that I wasn't using my
full coding capabilities releasing
(averagely cool) C64 demos every other
week!... Maybe someday I will code a
game, but I'm not sure I'd like to code
one on C64 for Mirrorsoft, but we'll
see...
Andy Partridge.. Sorry I couldn't code
that C64-disk-magazine for you, but I
didn't think it was a feasible
project... You can't have been too sure
about it yourself after the 'offer' I
made you!!!
Bizzmo of Genesis Project... Hi Doug!,
hope you will send me the 'letter-sheet'
soon - I've finally found a (fairly)
cheap photocopying place! Send the GFX
too! (Car and Anarchy logo)
Deek of Genesis Project... Hey Richard,
I'm not back on the C64 quite as soon as
you expected! (and I never will be
back...) Why not come back to the Amiga,
it really isn't as bad as you said!!!
Hybrid of Omicron UK... Thanks for
replying so fast, your sending was quite
cool, keep it up!...
Antichrist of Genesis Project... Hey
Frank, sorry I couldn't stay in Genesis
after I got my Amiga, but GP doesn't
have quite the following on Amiga that
you built up on the C64! Has the
'Birthday Demo' that we spent 4 months
making been released yet or what?!? My
Bob-plexer still holds the world record
(for C64), and I wrote it in December
1989!!!
Beat Boy of Flash Productions... So,
what did you think of my package? Write
back soon and greet Anarchy in all your
spreads!...
Flamingo of Light... Why not code
something on the Amiga? Your C64 demos
were truly outstanding, I particularly
liked Brutal 2 and Brutal Vector! I
agree with what you said about my demos
- 1 cool demo every 2 months is better
than 3 average demos in the same period
of time! Check out 'Delirious 9' for a
slightly more polished demo from me!...
The Banana of Silsden... Hey Phil!, why
not do some logos / pics for Anarchy?!?
Hein Design of Density / diArt... Hmm,
what have you been doing lately? Surely
your brother's game has enough graphics
by NOW (5 months later)... Maybe you
can borrow his computer again to make
some GFX for Anarchy?!?
Cryptic UK... Kreator is working on
your Vectors-intro this weekend! - it
should be ready for release at the
16-bit show along with this 'demo'!
OK, that's enough messages for this
time!... I don't have anywhere near
enough contacts, since I've only had my
A500 for 3 weeks (at the time of
writing, which is 23/6/90 at 7:51 pm..)
So, if you want a cool contact, write
to:-
RAISTLIN of Anarchy UK,
Robert Troughton,
42 Browfield Terrace,
Silsden,
West Yorkshire,
BD20 9PT.
ENGLAND.
Tel: (+41) 535 653669
Now, if I may take up a little more
of your time, I would like to talk about
some more controversial subjects
(connected with Amiga of course...)
DISK MAGAZINES - Taking over the scene?
I am a C64-veteran, and so I have
seen exactly what C64 disk magazines did
to the (once quite cool) scene...
Imagine recieving disk after disk of
magazines each of which contains page
after page of boring news... (most of
which will be copied from other
magazines, and a lot of it will be pure
speculation)... A lot of quite cool
coders spent hours of their lives
programming these things, which did them
no credit whatsoever!... Top swappers
spent even more time writing the text -
and what for? A few seconds pleasure
for the few lamers who actually READ the
magazines!!! Suffice to say that
disk-magazines totally screwed up the
C64 scene!...
Anyway, what I want to suggest is
this: Cool groups wanting to contribute
in a big way to the scene-mags should
not start up their own magazine, but
instead try to gain a co-operation with
one of the existing disk magazines.
(eg. STOLEN DATA is made by Anarchy -
Tristar - DCS, and I am sure more groups
would be welcome to join in!!!
Please don't let Disk-Magazines take
over the scene as they did on the C64,
because things are cool enough as they
are...\

STOLEN DATA
Stolen Data is a disk/paper magazine
from Anarchy, Tristar and DCS. Most of
you will have seen the disk half of the
magazine already, and some will have had
the good fortune of seeing the paper
half... This is the only magazine that
is released on disk AND paper, and
really is something special!\
Order your copy of the magazine by
sending a disk and sufficient amount of
money (about 3dm?) to:-
Parson / DCS,
Michael Eggers,
J M Meere 11,
3208 Grob Forste,
West Germany.
Parson compiles the paper-magazine
and handles distribution of the disk and
paper mag...\
If you want to submit anything for
the disk-magazine (news, interviews,
articles, letters, etc...) write to:-
Mr.Big / Anarchy,
49 Kirkstall Road,
New Lodge Estate,
Barnsley,
S.Yorks.,
S71 1RS.\
Or if you want to send votes, either
send them with articles to the address
above, or to:-
Judge Drokk / Anarchy,
9 Back Lane West,
Royston,
Barnsley,
S.Yorkshire,
S71 4RZ.
I am not quite sure as yet how much
Parson plans to charge for copying the
paper-magazine, but you can always check
with him first!...\
OK, this will be the last page of
this message box, I told you that it
wasn't a magazine, but if I'm not
careful it will be as long as one!!!
Again I will give you my address for
swapping...
