Mirage
Mirage was formed in 1988/89 by Dutchmen Tomcat and Silverbullet. They mangaged to recrute several new members and make the group grow, all while keeping it a pure Dutch project.
Meanwhile in Germany, "Fun and Function" and "The Omega Crew" decided jo join forces and chose to continue as Mirage. They soon learned that a Dutch crew carried the same name. They contacted the Dutch and they all agreed to merge into Mirage International (MINT). This didn't last long though... In August the Dutch division released Prime '90 (aka. Mirage Megademo), in which a scroll strongly indicated that they had no contact with the rest of MINT. From here on, their future productions were released under the name of Mirage and not Mirage International.
On the 31st of July 1991, they released the very first issue of the message-box Chit Chat. This would eventually become their trademark and by far their biggest success. 15 issues were produced, the last being released in April 1995.
