Hello Shadow! Well, introduce yourself please! |
| Shadow: |
Yeeaaahhh, Shadow provides ya once again with another cool pax.... arghhh! Shit! Can I try again? Yes, well thanx first for interviewing me! I'm a 20 yrs. old French guy who is studying biotechnology at university and I am also since 4 years now on the amiga! My abilities are: gfx maker - swapper pax maker! My favorite hobbies are: girl, girl, girl, amiga, amiga and tennis! |
| Sledge Hammer: |
Hum... interesting! Anyway what is your Amiga-story? |
| Shadow: |
I bought an Amiga in 1989 because I knew a good friend of mine (Bukaroo) who's a member of M.a.d and I wanted to be one of them! After some months I created my own team called Sigmaforce and when Bukaroo told me that he left M.a.d and created a new team, he proposed the name of L.S.D for our new team! After 2 months we found 5 other cool members from Dragon and M.a.d and then we made sum pax! After 3 other months our pax became more and more better! Then another team called LSD contacted us and said that we have stolen their name!!! We proposed them to join their force as LSD Europe. With their help we became more and more famous (number 3 in the Eurochart!) in pax!!! After that Pazza kicked some UK-members and saw that LSD europe was stronger than ever, and then LSD UK decided to kick all divisions in Europe (because the situation for him became more and more difficult to control!). Anyway, at that moment a little trouble was in US and we decide to stay in LSD but after some new imformations (Pazza was denouced by one of his best friends (Friendship rules! -ed) at the police: because Pazza sells illegal drugs and games! And he says that it was his friend who supplied him with drugs! And it was totally wrong). We preferred to create a new team! So we created Artefact and most of our european members left and joined some well known teams (Desire, Devils, Symbiosis...). At this time I've sent some letters to an elite team and showed my ability in gfx. I had the opportunity to enter to Stellar! So it is my history! |

Cool! What are your plans for 1993? |
| Shadow: |
Firstly to become more and more present in the scene with new pax, making cool gfx and also some articles for this great mag! (Flattering will get you nowhere... -ed :-) But also trying to pass my b.t.s (brevet of superior technician!) |
| Sledge Hammer: |
What do you think about the A1200 - we know you have it! |
| Shadow: |
Hum.. Yes it's true I am the happy possessor of this great Amiga! My main hobby now is to explore all the possibilities of the Deluxe paint AGA! The main problem is the compatibility! An example: during the latest 2 weeks I've received 100 discs (Aars stuffs+others) and out of 67 discs of demos, trackmos, mags, musicdisc, slideshows, only 41 are 100 percent compatible! In games, only the last 6 month's game are 100 percent compatible! About tools: the bests are compatible, so no problem for this! The sfx are similar but a bit de-sinchronised in some demo disc! The animations arrreee greeeaaattt! The gfx applications are 3 or 4 better! To conclude I can say that an A1200 was 3 or 4 more better than an A500! Only the dezign is a bit bad, but anyway, it's cool! |

Due to this new Amiga - do you think the scene will change? |
| Shadow: |
Well, for me and because I asked this from all my contacts - I think that most of the elites have 2 choice: try to leave the Amiga scene to join the PC scene, or to buy an A1200 or and A4000 and continue the Amiga scene! My own statistics (for 50 peaple): 6 will leave the amiga scene soon and will probably buy a PC, 29 wants to buy an A1200 soon, 15 have no idea and prefer stay with A500. |
| Sledge Hammer: |
OK, something else to conclude? |
| Shadow: |
Well, I would like to thank all my contacts for the stuff they send me and particulary to bukaroo, leebold, kyle, lordzero, mental and all the others! I will continue my pax with a new menu soon!!!! Wait and see! Contact me for friendship swapping:
