Sceptic (often spelled with a dollar sign, $ceptic) was born in the middle
of 1991 after the group Madhouse Ware changed their name to this.
Famous German musician Pink/Abyss was a double member for a short while
back in 1994. Sceptic's most known demo related productions are without a
doubt the classic "Chipmania"'s! Freedom Crack #11 carried the news that
'Celtic and Laurance joined with 'FIRE AND ICE'', but a later source
clearly explain that the sysop of said board is Imagic! They did a great
looking trainer intro for Supplex, with fab graphics by Flite!
1993 - "Chipmania #9" [07/93] was released on the 1st of july, with a new
outfit.
German Loomex joined Byte Busters.
French musician Hydra (ex Devils) left to be independent.
Crunchy and Fuszy (coders amiga+pc sysops 'THE FACTORY') joined TEK.
Diamonds and Rust Cracktro (ECS Intro).
code: Wigwam, Hydra (fix), gfx: Flite (font, logo), music: "Hulk Hulk by
DVS" by Bright Brick/Devils (ProTracker MOD format).
review: The top of the screen has a very pink D&R logo, then the rest is
occupied with a space with wobbly wireframe vectors in the background,
over which is laid a pretty standard textplotter. The music is an annoying
chiptune. The bottom right contains a tiny 'Sceptic' signature, to tell
the world who made the intro.
The version reviewed seems to be a presentation of the intro, with
nonsense board adds and saying cracked by xxx, supplied by yyy etc., so it
was almost certainly not used on a crack. Destabilizes my system. [glenn]

review: This is apparently the first issue of Chipmania with its new
layout, and I must say it's pretty nice! =) Excellent graphics/ascii
design all over, and the content feels solid. For those not familiar with
the series, Chipmania is a sort of combined mini-mag and chipmusic pack.
