Abyss
USA> Changeling (code, 12/87-02/88), Doppleganger (crack, 01-02/88), Jimmy Z (sysop ABYSS HQ, 88), Longshot (import, 01-02/88), Raster Blaster (code, new 01-02/88), The Last Dragon (code import, 88), The Sorcerer (import, 88), Whiplash (01-02/88). Boards; THE CONCENTRATION CAMP (usa, 01/88). Abyss was an usa-based demo and cracking group. 1989 - Toad and Mr.Stack (both ex Galaxy) left for Paramount in december, after a brief stay. Hardcore (1988, 05.01, File). code: Changeling, gfx: see review, music: see review. review: What we have here is a six-part demo, entirely done by The Changeling. The graphics and music are all ripped, from games like IK+, Test Drive, Project: Stealth Fighter, Commando and Rampart. As you might expect, this doesn't offer a lot in terms of variation or fabulous graphics, but comes across as an early, fair demo. No frills, though. Raster Blaster was welcomed as a member in a part dated 04.01-88. [glenn] Hardrock (1988, File, 3 parts). code: Raster Blaster, gfx: uncredited, ripped, music: ripped. review: Though technically a demo, Abyss still persist in calling this a 'music selector' due to the high amount of ripped music; none of which is credited. Design is nothing special, just average, and so is the code. [glenn]
