Share and Enjoy (SAE, 1987-1992)

Share And Enjoy is an Amiga demo group.

SAE was formed in 1987 by Comrade J, and within 3 years had about 30 members
and had joined Megaforce (which shortly became Scoopex) as a subgroup. Their
life as a Scoopex subgroup was short - because of conflicting interests (SAE
wanted to do demos, SCX wanted originals and cracks), they left the group
and continued on their own (though Scoopex claim they were kicked). The
group died around 1991 - 92 after their last major demo, "Impossible
Playfields" [10/90], since all the group's coders found work that took up
all their time. Several members also joined Anarchy.
  There were three SAE copy/demo parties in the summers of 1988, 1989 and
1990, but information on these are scarce at this time. We are wowking on
securing more information on these events.
  Comrade J (Jolyon Ralph) now runs the web company Mysterious Ways in
Croydon, UK, where also TiW is an employee. Del now works as a programmer
for Codemasters. The Judge (Jolyon Myers) made some tunes for amiga games
(Shadow Dancer etc.) under the name JVM Design, and now works at Eidos. Jon
works at Psygnosis, as does Rogue Male - as a musician. Anarchy found work
outside the scene. Strangly, the group still seems to have a web presence,
if you look at http://www.shareandenjoy.org, though the original members do
not know who claims to be in the group today.

PS. There were SAE copy/demo parties held in Summer 1988, 1989 and (finally)
1990. They were all held in Croydon, UK.

  Amazing Tunes II (Musicdisk).
  review: According to a discussion on alt.sys.amiga.demos in 10/94, the
  original version has dodgy coding that makes it unstable on almost
  anything but a standard A500. However, the version Comrade J made for one
  of Almathera's CD's should work better.

  Wild Tremlo (File).
