ONE YEAR & FIVE YEARS AGO IT HAPPENED
            by The Ripper



c04           FIVE YEARS AGO:

c01It is August 1991  and the fifth issue
of c02I.c.e.c01, the leading mag produced by
c02Cytaxc01,  get released.  Among its pages
you  can  find  some  amusing articles
such   as   'Crackers  are  lame'  and
'Crackers  are  not  lame',  just  two
chapters  of  an  eternal diatribe, or
other  deep  and  fashionable articles
such as 'Nazi software in the Scene'.
The   article   that   can   make   us
reflecting,  however,  is  surely 'The
good  old  times',  written  by  a guy
called c02Eddy/Coastc01, in which the author
complains  about  the  past  almost as
most  of  the  Scene  likes  to  do it
today.
Some  sentences taken from his article
f4<<do  you  remember  your  first game?
Was  it  Goldrunner, Chessmaster 2000?
And  when you did not know the meaning
of the word SEKA?>>.  f1Nostalgic.

Then  we  have some thoughts about the
Friendship  Movement with a meaningful
'Why wars' edited by c02Lizard of Energyc01,
which  can  compete,  for its high and
deep  contents with 'Different lamers'
by  c02Cyber  Piratec01,  one  of  the  most
productive  writers of thos times, and
'Lamer  Tips' by a guy named c02Lyzanxiac01,
belonging  to  c02TSL  c01(maybe...).  Among
the  others,  some  of  these tips are
very  interesting  and clever:  f4<<when
they  (he  probably  means the lamers)
ask  you  who  you are pretend to be a
more  famous  freak>>  f1or  f4<<tell them
(should  be  the  lamers, also in this
case)  to  call your board and instead
of bbs' number give them the number of
your  worst enemy>>.  f1No comment.
But the pearl is surely the article by
c02Black Dragon c01of the group c02Catastrophyc01,
'A  lamer  sex-story', with a gorgeous
final  comment  to  draw a fondamental
and unforgettable moral teaching f4<<the
real  story behind this piece of crap,
is  that  if you're a lamer you stay a
lamer.  Some lamers buy hot modems and
think  they're  so-called  'cool'  but
they aint coze when they die, they die
like  a  lamer  and  not like a 'cool'
dude...    Yo  this  was  I  am  outta
here>>.   f1Clear and concise, what more
could we pretend?


c04            ONE YEAR AGO:

Assembly'95  is hold and shows to have
become  the biggest and best organized
party,  beating,  after a top position
lasted  around  four  years, The Party
series.    Zif   by  c02Parallaxc01,  ranked
first,  is  considered  among the best
ever   released  but  it's  the  c02Pygmy
Projects'   c01creature   that   will  be
remembered  as  the symbol of the 95's
edition  of Assembly.  Relevant enough
to  be  noticed,  is  Fruitkitchen  by
c02Silents  c01and  the two intros by c02Sonikc01.
f4'Compared  to The Party IV Assembly is
definitely  less  Scene-party and more
game-geek-gathering'.   f1Never  such  a
sentence  (c02Diesel8  c01owns the rights on
it) has been closer to a prophecy.

After  almost two years of  being dead
c02Lemon c01reborns.  The new members, which
are  the  two  Englishmen c02Spaceman c01and
c02Dan  c01together with the Dutch guys c02Del,
Facet,  Blazer,  Supernao  c01and  c02Astro,
underline   immediately   they  aren't
going  to  release  much  in  the next
incoming  months.  (This is one of the
few  Scenish  promises  that have been
kept, indeed!)
