-------------------------------------  Mad Butcher of Coma is coding a game which will be a commercial product. Coma Jordan is dead! Coma kicked out many members (mainly swappers) becouse they want to be a legal demo group and they don't need so many swappers. They kicked out all foreign divisions except Maltese one. They have got 13 (!) coders and 3 swappers (Head,  Control and Mop) now. They said they will release 3 to 5 demos soon. The best members of Visdom (which is now dead) joined Coma. ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------  The next two news are a bit old, but anyway... Croatian telephone network called HPT has noticed (after a long time) that price of one telephone impulse in Croatia is much lower than one in the rest of the Europe. They said they will rise the price for about 30%. HPT has installed a new kind of public telephone boxes in many towns in Croatia. They are all connected to Axe-10 digital network. They are working on impulse cards. You can buy cards of 50, 100, 200 and 400 impulses. Some rumours says that they have filters for 2600 Hz and upper frekvencies bcoz they are imported from England. I am trying to hack it with fake card (plastic over it). But it eats it every time. Also some other cool systems aren't working on them. SHIT! -------------------------------------  ELF Productions (subgroup of Electronic Arts) will soon make a shoot 'em up game with filled vectors. There will also be a version for CDTV with lots of raytraced graphics (planets and so on).  Lucky Strike of Cytax joined ELF Productions becouse he will compose a music for that game. He is still a member of Cytax. -------------------------------------  Central Europe, one of the best Amiga BBS', doesn't work anymore! It seems that it's becouse blue-boxing in Germany is dead because german post installed protection against it. -------------------------------------  Mother Board (USA) is also dead. -------------------------------------  Legend will make a new diskmag. Hunter of Polaris was interviewed for the first issue! -------------------------------------  Scoopex opened the first pirates BBS in Croatia. Its name was Midnight Connection. Sysop was Chain/Scoopex, co-sysop Rasputin/Semtex. It didn't lasted too long, becouse of some internal problems. Also Chain recently stopped all activities on Amiga and sold it. -------------------------------------  Latest news says that ESA is not a member of Brainstorm anymore becouse of inactivity. News also says that a Brainstorm has got a new member: Rob Rose. The fact is that ESA and Rob Rose is the same person!!! Why Brainstorm done all this? After all, he made some excellent parts in Brainstorm Megademo and Total Eclipse (with Majestic). Now he's back with Blitter Miracle... ------------------------------------- And now some news from Jordan... There are no laws against copying in Jordan, so piracy is fully legal. Games are sold as copies in all stores, even goverment companies use copied software!!! -------------------------------------  A new group was born. Its name is St. Pauls Crew. They have released the first intro ever in the Arabian scene. St.Pauls Crew has already about 7 new divisions in different countries such as: Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Canada, Iraq... etc. St.Pauls are opening a division in Austria. A division of St.Pauls Crew in Australia will be run by a female dudet. The Swedish division of St.Pauls is now opened. There are two members for now: Ztork (organizer, musician, swapper) and Dot (coder, musician, gfx). St.Pauls got a new member in the town of Irbid in Jordan. His name is Snake and he's a swapper. Newtek's gfx-man joined St.Pauls. St.Pauls Crew are now using three addresses one of which used to be owned by Byte Busters Jordan and is still used by  Kouros/Iris. The second one is the one of the Ripper of Falcons and the third one is the one owned by the  Phantom of Kaos Jordan. St.Pauls BBS will be delayed till sometime next year, cause their modem was taken by the goverment. Dunhill of St.Pauls Crew is rated as no.1 mail trader in Jordan. Futuros of St.Pauls Crew owns a Mercedes 560 sel and has a fortune of 1 million dollars and he's only 23 years old (shocking!!!). -------------------------------------
