fpf1s3 c10------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c08 An ed from a group called A-go-ny his mag not as fab as it should be. Considering to gain some minutes of fame he writes a slagg-off against RokDee. c10------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c09Oh yes, just when you feel to have made it all safe, some wankers come to pee at your leg. Annoying? Possibly maybe, probably not. Do you know that the bitter attacks, certain editors seemingly run against this mag and especially one of its main-eds recently, are nothing but a wanted PR-campaign to boast their and our position on the market? Yes, you can believe your eyes, it's true - or why do you think popped those attacks up the same moment, c07Generation c09needed massive advertising to enter the competition? Read more on that in this very issue of your favourite fanzine. Needless to say that Generation has yet again acknowledged some changes. The most important however has already been tipped at in the earlier paragraph: c08The Ripper has joined in Artwork to become the second main-ed. c09Give applaude to this Italian - he will soon top the charts. And I mean it. The Amiga-Scene reasonably exists for nine years now and no one from the socalled real world ever cared. Except maybe for taking its past as alibi to withdraw promised sponsoring money from competitions, when one overdid it while the Olympic Games. It seems, these times are over! At The Summer Party a camerateam strolled around, filming and interviewing for a special to be broadcasted by the french-german channel c07Artec09. Arte as a good sign? Nomen est omen, so keep being informed by Generation about the ongoings. From recent years, we have been used to the obligatory summers hole. Diskmags like any other publication usually have to fight for reasonable topics over the months six to eight of the running year. 1996 makes an exception from this bloody rule. Unnumbered parties have taken place, even more releases have been given to the audience. A reason to celebrate? Surely not! Inflationarily, demos pop up, one by one without a face, without spirit. Just for the pricemoney. Read the critics and come to understand why it is legitimate to program for competition exclusivly, yet why it is illegitimate to participate with the same demo in four competitions. In case you wondered about the April fool in the last issue: The article about the c08KillVirusKiller-Virus was complete and utter nonsense. c09There of course is no virus like that. At least due referring directly to c07Christoph Fischer c09- this man is a real person, who in fact is one of the few virushunters worldwide - we at least have manged to fool other virus hunters. In a test of all common viruskillers by some c07TRSI-dudesc09, our virus was to be found in the list of all known viruses. Although they admitted in not having found any samples, it is good to hear that any viruskiller can detect and destroy it, isn't it? There was another april fool, a more private one. Have a look at the 'Essential Adresses'-list from issue 21 and find out why c07Damion c09was not awilled to talk to me for three weeks (he did not detect it). Finally, we have asked YOU, dear readers, for your opinion. Not by the obligatory votesheet, but by our unique c07OpinionPollSheet c09(note to all narrow-minded spoilsports: This is a name so do not mutter about the way it is written, fools!). The response was overwhelming - thank you to all people with the right spirit out there! So, for the first time ever, Generation is enabled and proud to give a representitive overlook on what Sceners actually are interested to read. No speculations anymore - it is all sorted out and today it will be made clear. Do not moan we did not warn you, jealous colleagues from the writing quarter, if you yet again fatally miss the audiences interest with your publications. Or to put it with c07Macno's c09words: f4 'Wonder were respect and devotion are gone.' f1 yours f1c08 Henning c10 aka c08 >>> RokDaZone/Artwork <<< c10 1996, I'm outta here! See ya...
