EDITORIAL - a word from editor???
---------------------------------------\0,24
So, it's time that you've got the
1st number of our magazine and we truly
hope that you enjoy reading this mag
and that you will support us making
new numbers by sending some articles to
us.
The texts that you'll find on this
disk-magazine, now and in future, are
written by many very different people
and so the texts may be in conflict
with each other. But because this is a
free magazine (No russian jokes atleast
in this number), it is all up to the
editors, what they think about things
and what they write to the pages.
Though we in DeathStar don't support
any political idealism and are absolu-
tely neutral when it's up to this mag,
we keep the rights to edit or to not
publish the texts that someone of you
may (you should) send to us.
Anyway, the advertisements in the
ad-pages are published exactly as they
came. The only thing that we may change
in the ads is the layout. If the text
is typed in more than 39 chars per line
we will re-type it to fit the standards
of the magazine.
RIGHT'N'UP\328,24
The prices... It's natural that we
will collect a little payment for the
advertisements for keeping the size of
them in reasonable limits.
And so we have decided following:
- for 39 chars width and 8 chars high
ad, we charge you with one disk. So
do not expect your disk to be re-
turned if you send an ad.
- for 80 width and 10 high or 39 width
and 16 high ad the payment is double
so include one extra disk.
- for bigger ads you should contact
another maggie or pay more!
So, if you are for example planning to
have a copy-party, and want everyone to
notice it,write an advertisement to our
mag. It'll cost you only some disks and
your party will be noticed by many and
many Amiga-freaks.
Other way paying your ad is writing
an interesting text.Everyone who writes
texts to our mag, is free to have an
39'8 advertisement.So take your chance,
write a story for example about what
happened on the latest party or meeting
where you were in and if your story is
published, you can have an ad for your
next party partessimum. -Drucer}^\,

AUSTRALIAN SCENE
---------------------------------------
The AMIGA first landed upon Australian
shores in the form of the A1000. It
was monstrously over-priced and was
thus not a great success. But NO-ONE
disputed the AMIGA's incredible GFX,
Sound, Capabilities etc. It was only
a minor success with businessess who
used it for records , etc. (Not really
accessing its full potential).
Later that year the A2000 came. It
was not very successful once again
due to it's extravagant cost. But
EVERYONE wanted an AMIGA but NO-ONE
was willing to spend that kind of cash.
So it was no suprise when the A500
was introduced that masses of people
trotted down to their local Commodore
dealer with A$1,000 in their sweaty
hands eager to purchase the new A500.
From that day (or week ... or month)
AMIGA sales went up .... and up ..
and up some more. EVERYONE wanted one
All was going well for the AMIGA when
suddenly a company renowned for its
making of one-bit video games pops up
and offers for the same price of one
half-meg Amiga a one-meg 16-bitter wid
a free Monitor thrown in more good\328,
measure. Who was that company? SEGA?
MSX? No ... wrong it was none other
than ATARI!!!! Now the spotlight was
off the AMIGA and on the ATARI. Now
the rush was on to get an ATARI
ST(upid) machine.......
The whole affair was a bit like a
filter, all the losers lept onto the
ATARI whilst all the people with IQ's
larger than their shoe size were drawn
towards the illustrious AMIGA. This
was (or is) great from our point of
view (that is us, the Cracker, Coder,
Hacker etc.) because no self-respectin
Cracker (etc.) likes to think that the
major users of his chosen comp. are
losing lamers who wouldn't know an RTS
from a taxi, think a virus is a cold,
and think that Boot-Blox are things you
wear when playing Football !!! But,
anyway it was good.
Slowly but surely chosen few searched
out the secrets of coding 68000 and
cracking. These few people were the
AMIGA's first Australian Crackers!!!
I am happy to say that I was one of
the key-founders of Australia's first
Group to not be deemed LAME! Anyway,
soon groups sprang up everywhere ...
some lame, some very lame, some
incredibly lame. But lets deviate
Well, change the page, will ya!}\,
AUSTRALIAN SCENE ............. continue
from this LAME subject and move onto
a bit about US, the Cracker (etc.)
We (natuarally being thousands of kms
from ANYWHERE!) found it VERY hard to
get the much needed original. So what
did we do? Simple. We began coding
demos, intros, utilities, even the odd
game. This was cool because it gives
us something UNIQUE (therefore HOT) to
send. At first Australian Hackers were
very, very lame. But as time progress
we began gaining many, many, many,
contacts and so now, in 1989, the
software reaches us, in some cases,
before it lands in some of the Europe
countries. This is something that we
are all extremely proud of! And I'm
sure you would be as well considering
our predicament.
So we can all look forward to a time
when maybe the world will know
Australia for its fine Groups and not
for its high population of lamers.
Incidently I'd like to add that at the
moment in Australia the penalty for
hacking stands at 10 years jail and
A$48,000 (the price of 48 Amigas) fine!
And at the moment the Government is
investigating the subject of Computer\328,
Crime. We Australian Crackers have to
be VERY VERY careful or else its
goodbye HOME, hello CELL!

Well, that was just that kinda story
that we would like you to send for this
mag. It is good English, easy to read,
tells about some interesting things and
most of all, that story was very well
written: I didn't have to edit it at
all!
Now, if someone is planning to make
an article samelike the above, please
note that you should not only write
about 'Lamers in ?????', but write also
about everything else that happens in
your country. Best groups, idiots (not
lamers, but Idiots!), police, penalties
for hacking etc.
Because the story should be fair,you
should be a member of a good group,'coz
then you have no reason twist things
in your story.Ofcourse loosers are also
welcome to write, but the normal story,
that loosers write is that everyone
better than 'em are gays or shitheads,
but that's not true! -DRUCER}^\,

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!!
---------------------------------------
We in the REAL Crush want to tell you
about the girls in the scene! It seems
that there aren't many on Amiga, b'cauz
many of them are on PC-engines or only
play with her computer! So, we are one
of the only groups that consists almost
fully of girls, which are good in gfx,
sounds etc., but we see that the male
freaks says very often that "Girls are
stupid" and that "They don't know any-
thing about programming and about the
scene!". That's absolutly shit! We hate
such guys! So we hope that in future
the girls will be accepted 100% by all
male freaks !!!!!!
Now I have to say about a group which
stole our name! We have no (!) members
in Norway! Those guyz who prefer to be
a member of Crush in Norway are liars!
A good friendship and a fight for the
right in the new year!
(The girls of the real Crush!)

JUNGLE COMMAND, MAGNIFICENT FORCE & JOY
PARTYREPORT
---------------------------------------
On the 7th of January 1989 this party
took place in a place near Utrecht in
Holland. At the start we had some
trouble.For instance we arranged a live
mixer, but he couldn't come because his
car broke down. And ofcourse the long
awaited megademo which was not finished
at the date of the party. Not all
demoparts were ready, some of them were
not crunched and the loader had to be
made at the party. As allways (?) this
went wrong a few times. Anyway we
finished the megademo somewhere in the
night (still one part is not on it).
There are some plans for a megademo II
but you will hear about that soon
enough.
The party started at 11.00 am and at
that time the place was already packed
with freaks, so we had to improvise and
put up some tables outside of the room.
After an hour these places were also
taken and that caused that many people
couldn't place their amiga (sorry for
that). Undoubtely the best game on the
party was Dragon's Lair (original),\328,
which is really amazing so if you don't
own a megabyte or a amiga 1000 you buy
one only for this game! Exterminator
showed a little preview of his new game
'Sanatorium' on video. Some games were
released and many demos (some finished
at the party) saw the daylight.
But maybe you know that a real party
starts when the visitors are gone and
the best party was yet to come .....
We consider this party as succesfull
but not perfect so another one will
follow soon.

SPEECH - more words from the editor!!
---------------------------------------
So, now you've seen it all! This is
the last page of this mag and it's time
for you to press ESC to see another
megademo-part.
But before you do that, I've still
got something to say to ya!
Making a magazine is quite horrible,
when you have to spend hours and hours
changing the articles to fit the pages
and so I truly hope that you send many
articles to us and when you do, please
type it in right way. That means that
you should write the story in 39 chars
width lines and that's all!All you have
to look at when typing the text is that
there aren't more than 39 chars/line.
Another thing: The language used in
this magazine is and will be English.
We won't publish storys written in
German, French or anything else. Only
non-English language that can be
written to the pages of this mag, is
Finnish and even it will be used only
in some jokes or something.
Enough of speeches, press ECS. NOW!!
