A bal " AMAZINE " has been opened on
RTEL. If you have a certified codename

new codenames will be ignored, to
prevent a "double vote" from assholes.

Whatever some people could have said.
We don't do our Charts in association
with TSB or HMD.

You can also send us messages for the
news, or tell us anything you want to
improve Amazine : The voice of the
underground .

I.C.S. sent many packets to several
swappers with their latest cracks and
prices to take out a subscription.
They also claim to everybody in France
they are the number one on atari ST...
Our charts show they aren't really
popular, their policy : We pay our
crackers,we pay our swappers,we pay our
originals so...you MUST PAY for the hot
news ! is not compatible with gratitude
from the scene. And that's not bad at
all, because such attitude not only
kill the scene but also the ST.

]_______________________________________

their exams this year : 100%

intros they don't talk anymore about it
Is it dead ?

]_______________________________________

An Cool has released a cartridge , and
It's called "THE EXPLORER". It's a bit
like the "ULTIMATE RIPPER" from DOM ,
but It seems to be better !

]_______________________________________

HOTLINE HOLLAND, lock their computers,
so that no one else can use them,while
they're gone during some copy-parties.
This was tell to us , by a guy who has
come to the STNICC, last year ! That's
quite strange when U know that, during
a party everybody use, the computer of
somebody else ! too bad ! not fair...

Message to Sleddge: We are still
waiting for news from you...

]_______________________________________


CUBASE 3 has been released, but that's
really hard to crack ! You have about,

The MegaDemo from THE SYNDICATE called

STRANGE! The last lame game from OCEAN
Called "PUSH OVER " , has been juged :
18/20 by TILT , 95/100 by JOYSTICK and
90/100 by GEN4 ! How much , did those
french mags get paid, for such notes !
That was the same with EPIC, this game
was really too easy , and you finished
it in one day, and all those mags have
given it the best judgment !

]_______________________________________

Some news about THE REPLICANTS:
MAXI is now definitively on PC, and we
will see nothing of more from him , on
this good old ST . BUT , he will buy a
FALCON 030, and that's a good news.
CAMEO is back in THE REPLICANTS, after
a trip under numerous (3 or 4) handles

RUTHLESS has released , a non-working
version of ULTIMA VI and he has put on
the ELITE intro on it, and it says :
"Cracked by MAGICIAN OF MCA ". It also
says on the intro that the original was
supplied by KRS ONE and GANGSTER. there
are also slaggings , against I.C.S. on
this release ! This is, a real strange
thing for RUTHLESS, to deliberatly try
to make ELITE look like lamers !

]_______________________________________

A new group is releasing compact disks
full of utils: THE MADDOGS. They seems
to be french but , their products are
spread by modems.

]_______________________________________

REDFOX & ZAPHOD have been fired from
SCSI.

]_______________________________________

HEMOROIDS have released a BEACHTRO, it
is in fact an invitation for a party .
Nice 3D vectors and nice GFX ! But
the big BEACH Party, has been cancelled
because of some problems, with the guys
which were organizing all on the AMIGA.
The reason why it has been cancelled is
that guys have told to the mayor of the
city were the party took place, that it
was a pirate convention.... So the cops
were there to abort all ! HEMOROIDS are
really sorry about that, us too !

]_______________________________________

MAD MAX and ES are said to have joined
a band called TBC (the Brainwasher CO)

AN COOL released THE M-demo 4. And he
breaks bad news to us. He must go to
the army. So no more productions from
him for a while. Is the legendary band
definitively dead ?

]_______________________________________

Penguin of Pure Energy is not the one
from Animal Mine.

]_______________________________________

2 new members in DELTA FORCE, they are
from UK: KARL & MARK. They seem to be
professional coders.

]_______________________________________

POLTERGEIST is dead. Their screen in
the BIRD MAD GIRL SHOW is their last
one.

]_______________________________________

Several phone numbers and addresses of
french crackers are written on the
reset demo of the Bird Mad Girl Show
from Fraggle's. Too lame !

]_______________________________________

ICS are now on ST,AMIGA,PC and MAC !
On ST ( as it is what we are interested
in) they've finally 2 coders, they are
German, they work under fake names,they
are from a famous coding band. ( A few
indications,they were in the 1st charts
of Amazine in the best demos and in the
best coders )

I.C.S have just bought VMAX . BELGARION
(Ex. TSTD0/VMAX), was the first person,
responsible, for the destruction of the
VMAX team, because of sum problems with
a lot of guys in the team.After all the
bullshit he tells everybody , about his
old team, we think that they will never
pardon him . So watch out very soon for
an internal war in I.C.S France.
Altair is also in I.C.S. He is working
on a protect to prevent Elite to rip
them their cracks. We don't know how he
is paid.

]_______________________________________

ZX, has left T.S.B. because of internal
lazyness . It is true that they are not
very productive at the moment . We are
always looking for TOXIC MAG 3. Where
an interview of Pleasure Game will be
found.

]_______________________________________

Some News about the BAD BOYS BELGIUM :
ANARCHY and ZROCCK, are the new members
of the BAD BOYS BELGIUM . The first one
is a coder and the second makes gfx. ZX
is now back in the team and he'll stand
here as coder and modemtrader. This Sub
-Group of THE REPLICANTS , have also in
their member list, LITTLE GUY, who is a
great swapper since a long time !

]_______________________________________

BAD INFLUENCE, a very strange team from
Belgium have changed their name because
of some rips they have perfomed before.
But , we don't know if they still rip a
lot of games . New name is INSOMNIA, so
take care at their pseudo releases !

]_______________________________________

Ayoros from IMPACT finally released
a demo against FUZION that he did last
X-mas. Because he thought they didn't
exist any longer as Fuzion - active
- members are now working for the
Replicants.
On the 75th menu of Impact another
intro agaisnt Fuzion is shown...

]_______________________________________

This summer MC,PENGUY,SETHOS and TITAN,
from the german team , ANIMAL MINE have
come to France to meet HELL'DISNEY'FIRE
from FUZION/REPS . For more info about
this , just read the scroller on FUZION
CD 170.

]_______________________________________

After APP in France, FAST in the UK and
SAPU in Denmark here is now the SIMP in
Sweden. So Take care swedish guys !
More about this in RedZone's article.

]_______________________________________

AN COOL of TCB has released M- DEMO 4 !
It is as cool as the first one , but we
will have to wait a while for M- DEMO 5
because the army is waiting for him .

]_______________________________________

Do you know why RUTHLESS is so inactive
at the moment ? Simply, because he must
be answering at the numerous letters he
has got after his advert in the PLAYBOY
Magazine !

]_______________________________________


DR TRAP also called LIGHTMAN,TYRELL....
is now working for ATARI FRANCE . We'll
not tell what he is doing exactly , coz
he could have some troubles.
He is also doing file-versions for a
new band from Paris, we can't tell you
the name. And he finally had to pay to
France Telecom what might be the most
expensive bill never paid to them.

]_______________________________________

Some guys have restarted blue boxing in
France . That was not enough to see the
poor ILLEGAL, catched by France Telecom
or what ? Now Watch out for more arrest
very soon.... As everybody in ICS is
using it at the moment we can expect
a quick die of the French Section.

]_______________________________________

FREDDY CARIBOU LITTLESWAP(P?) is always
in the army . And, we have no news from
him. Hope he is not dead , because this
poor beast can still be usefull.

]_______________________________________

ZX of BAD BOYS, seems to be the fastest
ST Modemtrader in Belgium at the moment
During 1 week, ZX organized teleconfe-
rences the last week of August each
nights...

]_______________________________________

After a long time with nothing from DF,
here are now MAGGIE 9 and 10 !
According to what I have seen, our NEWS
SECTION has done some children...

]_______________________________________

VMAX, has been reformed by ROBOCAMP and
ICE, which were members of the team , a
long time ago (Before it splits up).

]_______________________________________

Some french guys of I.C.S , have made a
trip to.... ITALIA..... This summer.
But The Threat's mother was very upset
because MR Fly didn't let his young son
have a rest each afternoon from 2 PM to
4PM. Moreover it is almost impossible
to find out nappies for him in Italia.
Too sad, but don't worry for The Threat
he's back in France now, and he can
watch Dragonball when his mother pick
him up from the nursery.

]_______________________________________

Everybody know that I.C.S are sending ,
to many lamers, a giant list of games ,
with the latest news, the prices.......
Do you know that , About 1 month before
the offical release of SENSIBLE SOCCER,
this game was already on their list.
Another very amazing thing : VROOM DATA
was also on their list . As they aren't
able to crack this game perhaps they're
selling THE REPLICANTS crack ?
For HOOK, that was different, they have
announced this game but they waited for
THE REPLICANTS crack just to understand
how to crack it !

]_______________________________________

The poor ALTAIR (Ex. VMAX now in I.C.S)
was shaming around everywhere saying he
would release a file version of SPACE
ACE II, one month ago but we have no
news.... Hahahahaha Poor
guy, you haven't the level ! REPLICANTS
have ! (Have a look at Maxi's Fcopyable
crack of DRAGON'S LAIR II or old DOM's
ready soft cracks )

]_______________________________________

CELTIK is now in THE REPLICANTS.

]_______________________________________

Hotline still rip ICS's games,when they
haven't done a version.

Our advice: To have clean cracks,choose
REPLICANTS and CYNIX. They don't crack
all the games, but they don't rip and
they crack not just to make money.

]_______________________________________

The Threat/ICS is not a new cracker,
but a new name for a cracker who was
fed up to have anonymous night phone
calls. That's what he told us on the
phone . But we don't t think stupid
phone callers will stop now, as he
joined the lamiest.

]_______________________________________

The french legend Equinox released
their last demo: Eat(Hit?) my bollocks.
Too bad, they won't come to Falcon.

]_______________________________________

ICS'Crazy Car 3 doesn't work on STF.

]_______________________________________

The Magician of the MCA finally cracked
CUBASE 3 ! (100%)

]_______________________________________

News from HEMOROIDS, what they are
working on:

2 Dentros,1 BBS intro & their Charts !

]_______________________________________

Very bad news from Sweden, ATARI-
SCANDINAVIA closed down. We hope Falcon
will be nevertheless easy to buy in
Norway,Sweden and Finland.

]_______________________________________

TSB is very unactive at the moment,
rumours are spread of a fusion between
them and an other french band N.L.C (No
Limit Coding) in order to release next
Toxic mags.

]_______________________________________

ANIMAL MINE have released a cool dentro
for the ATARI FAIR in Duesseldorf. Hope
to see another one next year on FALCON.
This one is well coded and interesting.

]_______________________________________

Soon FUSION (Amiga Crew) will open a ST
section, only for cracking... They have
already contacted many guys on the ST .
Watch out for their first releases !
After ICS and TRSI Amiga teams seems to
prepare themselves to the future FALCON
market, or is it just a fashion on the
Amiga scene ?

]_______________________________________

SECTOR ONE (Ex. SCSI) Have left ELITE !
The team will continue alone now.

]_______________________________________

2 French members of ICS (When they were
one trip in ITALIA) have called ELLFIRE
of REPLICANTS/FUZION. They wanted him 2
put ICS hacks on FUZION CD... They told
him that they would send him freely all
the news from ICS.He answered them that
he would be happy, to use them as Blank
disks. The 2 guys also tell bullshit to
him about ELITE and US.Thanks 2 ELLFIRE
for this news !

]_______________________________________

All rumours saying that MAXI is now the
cracker of FUSION (Section ST), are not
true ! He's now on PC and that's all.

]_______________________________________

PENGUIN/ANIMAL MINE is now also working
for the Syndicate.

]_______________________________________

JINX/SUPERIOR has finally sold his ST
in order to buy a Falcon. So don't
expect any menus for him. But rumours
of death are wrong, Wanderer is still
packing.

]_______________________________________

Legacy released a dentro to announce
the french demo: " Froggies over the
fence ". The different screens of the
demo will be made by the Ovairelanders,
Naos,Vegetables,Legacy...It will be the
ultimate demo from those french bands
on ST. The screens might work with 1meg
and most of them will be multiparts
demos, moreover graphics are said to
be very present.

About Legacy,they claimed Audiomonster
of Melon Design ( Amiga ), was a member
of their team. Audiomonster told us it
was bullshit, and that it will be said
in their next production.
