D O N ' T E X I T Y E T ! l s s s INSTEAD OF PRODUCING MORE ASCII'S NOW, I WILL JUST INSERT A TEXT WRITTEN SEVERAL DAYS AGO....... l l l l l l l ... WELCOME, ALL OF YOU, TO THIS TEXT WRITTEN A BORING SUNDAY
EVENING. IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, I'M LOBBER. MY ROOM IS WARM, OUTSIDE MY WINDOW A COLD CITY CALLED TROMSØ
WAIT FOR ME TO GO OUT WITH MY DOG... I DON'T WANT TO WALK THE DOG WHEN
IT'S SO COLD... SO I LOADED CYGNUS-EDITOR AND STARTED TYPING! FOR
NEARLY SEVEN YEARS AGO I BOUGHT MY FIRST COMPUTER... THE ZX SPECTRUM! AND 'LOBBER' WAS BORN. I
REALLY ENJOYED IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT THINK THE SPECCY WAS A
BORING PIECE OF HARDWARE, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS NOT. BUT IT DIDN'T KEEP MY INTERREST FOREVER. AFTER ENJOYING IT FOR SOME YEARS, I
ENTERED THE C-SIXTYFOUR SCENE AND I DECIDED TO START A
GROUP... BUT WE DIDN'T GET ANY FAMOUS IN THE
SIXTYFOUR-SCENE AND SOME YEARS LATER I BOUGHT THE AMIGA! IT'S SOON THREE
YEARS SINCE I GOT THE AMIGA. WE (THE OUTLAWS) STARTED GROWING.
ON THE FIRST
DAY OF THIS YEAR WE IN THE OUTLAWS WAS ONE OF THE GROUPS WHO GOT TOGETHER AND FORMED AN
INTERNATIONAL GROUP... ESCAPE! OK, THAT'S IT ABOUT ME AND MY
LONG HISTORY. LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND, I'VE BEEN A PART OF THE
SCENE FOR A WHILE AND I BEGIN TO WONDER WHAT THE SCENE IS ALL ABOUT.
IS IT ABOUT FAME? RESPECT? MONEY? FUN? MOST GROUPS WANT FAME AND
RESPECT. SOME WANT TO BE A LEGEND. THERE'S MANY LEGENDS IN THE SCENE...
HEADBANGER, ONE ZERO ZERO ONE CREW, ECA..... THE SCENE IS A VERY SPECIAL WORLD.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 'FREAKS' SITTING IN FRONT OF
THEIR COMPUTERS HACKING ON THEIR KEYBOARDS. HACKING FOR FAME? THE THING THAT MAKES ME
ANGRY NOWADAYS IS THAT SOME BIG GROUPS SEEM TO HAVE NO SPIRIT AT ALL!
IN THE OLD DAYS, FRIENDSHIP WAS THE RULE. TODAY, THE SCENE SEEM TO BE
MORE LIKE
PRO. FOOTBALL. (LIKE EARLIER STATED BY PHIL IN A CJ INTERVIEW)
THE BEST CODERS AND CRACKERS ARE 'BOUGHT' BY
THE BIG GROUPS. MONEY, BUSINESS.... THINK OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING! IS THE WHOLE SCENE TURNING INTO A PILE OF SHIT? I GUESS IT'S JUST ME WHO'S TIRED OF IT ALL! NOT SO LONG AGO, CRACKING WAS DONE BECAUSE OF THE FEELING OF
THE CRACKING ITSELF. COME ON OLD LEGENDS, STAND UP AND FIGHT AGAIN...
SHOW US THAT FRIENDSHIP STILL IS THE RULE... SADLY, I DON'T THINK THE SCENE
EVER WILL BE THE SAME AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE IS STILL POSITIVE THINGS IN THE SCENE.... FRIENDSHIP IS
STILL IMPORTANT, IT'S FUN MEETING FREAKS AT PARTIES, IT'S FUN TO PLAY SOME
GAMES AND IT'S STILL FUN TO CODE DEMOS ETC. BUT SOME DAY, SOME YEAR, I
FINALLY WILL GET TIRED. SEVEN YEARS IS MUCH, VERY MUCH. BUT DON'T THINK
THAT I'LL LEAVE THE SCENE YET. I'LL STILL BE HACKING AROUND IN
THE SCENE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. PROBABLY I WILL SOMEDAY SEND A
GAME TO A SOFTWARE FIRM... HOPEFULLY I WILL GET IT RELEASED. YES, THERE IS
STILL THINGS FOR ME TO DO WITH MY AMIGA. CODING GAMES SEEMS TO BE FUN.
WELL, LET'S QUIT THE PHILOLOGICAL THOUGHTS. BUT BEFORE I END THIS TEXT AND GO OUT IN THE COLD WITH MY DOG
, PLEASE REMEMBER THIS.... NEVER COPY GAMES TO LOOSERS AND LAMERS.
STOP SPREADING ALL THOSE GAMES TO THE SLIME OF THE SCENE! REMEMBER THAT YOU (YES YOU) SOME
DAY, SOME YEAR,
MIGTH CODE A GAME! BEFORE
I SAVE THIS TEXT... A LITTLE MESSAGE TO QUARTEX... THERE H A V E TO
BE MORE THAN ONE! (LUCKILY THE SCENE IS FULL OF LIFE)
OH! BY THE WAY, IF ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOW WHAT THE MEANING OF LIFE IS, THEN
SEND ME A LETTER WITH THE ANSWER. (THAT WAS NOT A JOKE)
I REALLY HAVE TO WALK WITH THE DOG NOW. BYE BYE FREAKS AND HELLO COLD WINTER NIGTH OF
TROMSØ... THERE'S NO MORE TEXT FROM ME (LOBBER), BUT SOME OTHER MEMBERS OF ESCAPE (OUTLAWS) HAVE WRITTEN A FEW ASCII'S. BEFORE THEIR TEXTS APPEAR, YOU'VE GOT THE CHANCE GET THE ADDRESSES WRITTEN DOWN!! l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l s s s s IF YOU WANT TO SWAP, SEND DISK(S) WITH YOUR LATEST STUFF. d d d d d d d d YOUR EYES ARE JUST NOW ADJUSTING TO A TEXT WRITTEN BY EXEN..... FIRST OF ALL
I'D LIKE TO HYPNOTIZE YOU..................... CLOSE YOUR EYES AND MAKE
UP A PICTURE IN YOUR MIND OF A YOUNG MAIDEN COLLECTING FLOWERS............
CLOSE YOUR EYES? WELL, AT LEAST ONE................... ANYWAY YOU ARE
NOW IN MY POWER AND I COMMAND YOU NOT TO TURN OFF YOUR AMIGA UNTIL
I AM FINSIHED SPEAKING TO YOU................ ON THIS DISK YOU WILL PROBABLY
FIND MY FIRST GAME. (IF THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DISK) IT IS A VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY SIMPLE GAME, AND
IT'S CALLED OERTHRULER, RETURN OF THE LIVING WIZARD. I WROTE IT TO GET SOME
PRACTICE IN GAME MAKING, AND I WILL PROBABLY MAKE A BETTER ONE IN THE
FUTURE. RIGHT NOW I AM WORKING ON AN ADVENTURE GAME ROUTINE. IT IS
ALREADY BEGINNING TO GET COMPLICATED AND THE FINISHED ROUTINE WILL HOPEFULLY
INCLUDE ALL THE COMMANDS OF TODAYS NORM IN ADVENTURES. SO FAR I HAVE MADE
THE ROUTINES FOR ITEM HANDLING (TAKE,DROP ETC.) AND I HAVE PLANS READY FOR
FURTHER COMMANDS. THE GAME WILL BE SET IN THE FAR FUTURE AND LIKEWISE I
EXPECT IT TO BE FINISHED IN THE (FAR?) FUTURE. MAYBE
I WILL PRODUCE A DEMO IN THE MEANTIME?? BUT TO GET YOU TO REMEMBER MY
NAME I HAVE TO BRAINWASH YOU....... HERE IT COMES..
EXEN EXEN EXEN EXEN EXEN EXNE ENXE XNEE EENX XENE GOT THAT? IF
YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXCHANGE SOURCES, MUSIC OR JUST LETTERS WRITE TO ME.....
MY ADDRESS IS ON THE SCREEN NOW (EXEN).......... AS
A LAST WORD I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT TODAYS SCENE IS GETTING TOO ROUGH. I
FEAR THAT THE TOP CLASS GROUPS ARE BEGINNING TO REPLACE
FRIENDSHIP WITH HATE........ (WHAT A BEATUTIFUL END) .....AND NOW TO SOMETHING
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.......... (YOU CAN SNAP OUT OF THE TRANCE NOW) ........
AND HERE'S A TEXT WRITTEN BY ANOTHER MEMBER OF ESCAPE (THE OUTLAWS)... AND THIS IS FOR THE BROKEN DREAMERS, THIS IS FOR VACANT
SOULS. THIS IS FOR THE HELPLESS LOSERS. THIS IS FOR THE HELPLESS
FOOLS, AND THE BURNT OUT, AND THE USELESS, AND THE LONELY AND
THE WEAK, AND THE LOST AND THE DEGRADED, AND THE TOO DUMB TO SPEAK.
¢HAH! YOU THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS FOR ALL YOU LOSERS OUT THERE. YOU
THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET MY ADDRESS. THEN YOU WERE RIGHT! BY THE WAY, I QUOTED
THE EURYTHMICS SONG CALLED l WHEN THE DAY GOES DOWN l I
HAVEN'T INTRODUCED MYSELF, I SUPPOSE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF IDIOT
WHO IS WRITING THIS BORING AND ALWAYS THE SAME BULLSHIT. MY NAME IS
T H E E N D AND I AM A MEMBER OF THE
NORWEGIAN DEPARTMENT OF ESCAPE (SURPRISE!). l l I AM OF COURSE THE ONLY
MEMBER IN ESCAPE THAT IS REALLY GOOD. LET'S TAKE MUSIC. JUST WAIT TILL
YOU HEAR MY SECOND REMIX OF THE FAMOUS NORWEGIAN (?) SONG CALLED l LISA GIKK
TIL SKOLEN l. IT WILL BE SO GOOD THAT ALL THE REST OF YOU
SO-CALLED MUSICIANS JUST CAN PACK YOUR THINGS, AND LEAVE THE AMIGA SCENE.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO CODING AND MAKING GFX, I JUST WON'T TALK ABOUT IT. IT
IS FAR TOO HARD TO DESCRIBE! SO JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET THE FUCKING
HARDWARE REFERENCE MANUAL. THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW DEMOS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
CODED. IT WILL BE IMPROVED WINDOW OPENINGS AND IF I WORK HARD, I MAY EVEN
CLOSE THEM AFTERWARDS. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? AND IT WILL BE NOTHING
LIKE THIS JUNK, GET IT LOBBER? ABOUT THE HARDWARE MANUAL, A BIG FUCKING
MUST GO TO THE LOCAL COMPUTER SHOP CALLED DATASHOP. NOW GET YOUR ASSES MOVING,
AND FIX ME THE FUCKING MANUAL! RIGHT? I FEEL SO FUCKING TOUGH TODAY. DON'T
YOU ALSO THINK THAT IT IS REALLY FUCKING TOUGH TO WRITE FUCK AND SHIT IN
EVERY FUCKING SECOND WORD? I JUST HOPE THAT MY MUM WON'T COME INTO THIS SHIT
ROOM, AND SEE WHAT THE FUCK I AM DOING? NO, FRANKLY, ALL YOU FUCKING KIDS
OUT THERE WHO ONLY KNOWS ONE SWEARING-WORD IN ENGLISH, WHY DON'T YOU FUCK OFF!
AND DON'T CONTACT ME. NOW THIS TEXT IS TOO LONG AND TOO BORING, SO I'LL
