Interactive is a german group, born by members of Equinox, Coma and others
in early 1992. Rumours of their death in White Noise #1 [early 94] seem to
exaggerated. I have three different boards all listed as being the WHQ at
one time or another.
  1992 - German swapper Ghost joined Submission in august.
  1993 - Norwegian swapper and trader Razorblade was kicked around the
middle of this year, so he joined up with Majic 12. At The Party in
december, the group released at least two versions of Dodger's new pack
Bouncing Bytes; #2 and #3. Inside, Abyss (who joined mid 93) is quoted as
'whq', perhaps suggesting he took over leadership of the group after he
joined?

Moomchild and The Trixter joined Surprise! Productions.
Finnish swapper Velsa (ex Addicts) joined Calibra.
Bad Karma joined Deadline.
All Giants members joined in Germany!

  Dance Trance (ECS Musicdisk).

  Dance Trance 2 (1993, ECS Musicdisk, 2 disks).

  Bouncing Bytes pacmenu (1993, late, ECS packmenu).
  code: Leander, Lunatic (additional), gfx: Dodger, music: Abyss, editor:
  Dodger.
  review: Well, this menu offers no eyecandy of any kind, just the basics.
  Upon loading, it presents you with a badly drawn Interactive logo, the
  choice of some productions in the middle of the screen and a scroller at
  the bottom. The whole thing unfortunately both looks and feels amateurish.
  you can press the right mousebutton for a 'magpart', done in the same
  design and not much better. The text is just the usual, 'news' and
  adverts. I cannot bring myself to recommend this to anyone. At least it
  works just fine on accelerated machines.
    The issue reviewed was #3 [12/93]. The menu was used for at least issues
  #1-#3, and from this we think it was first released late 93, november or
  possibly december. [glenn]

  Abstract (1995, 09.07, Demo).
  6th in the Somewhere in Holland 95 demo competition.

  First Love (1995, 28.12, AGA 40k Intro).
  code: Crow, gfx: Wintermute, music: Abyss.
  27th in The Party 5 40k intro competition.
  review: This sucks. No design, no impressive effects, and the music is a
  serious contender for 'worst chiptune of 1995'. It all opens with some
  flame-text, which is the best effect in the intro. Then we're taken on to
  a stretching zoomrotator (oooold!), a transforming dot-object (older!),
  and some other equally uninteresting stuff. Avoid. [glenn]
