Sceptic/Reviews

Diamonds and Rust Cracktro (ECS Intro)

Review by Glenn Lunder

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.

Tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.1 -- Note: Needs KillAGA!

Chipmania #9 (1993, 01.07, ECS Musicfile)

Review by Glenn Lunder

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.
