D-29 ---- DEN> Daffy (Christer Lankholm, swap, 08/94), Darkhawk (swap, 07/94). Damage (DMG, 1991-) ------------------- Damage was a finnish-based demo group, whose Polish division also made some decent productions. Some of the finnish members (count zero, decor8) actually moved down to the c64 later, where they released their first production in december of 1997. Damage Inc ---------- ???> Pinocchio (nor? music, later Contraz, 12/94-04/95). ¨ Damones [new] (DMS, http://www.damones.net) ------------------------------------------- Damones seem to be based on illegal activities, like cracking. The reason I have written 'new' at the top is that they suddenly appeared again after so much time, it is only fair to have a separator to represent the stretch of time in which they were absent from the scene. I do not know what the relation is between 'old' and 'new' Damones, but one of their recent ascii logos read 'since 1991'. The latest release I have seen was date 03/99. Damones Assembly 98 (1998, 64k Intro). code/gfx/music: n/a (The Player 6.1A format). 8th in the Assembly 98 64k intro competition. review: I like the opening of this intro, really stylish with stars travelling around a nice DAMONES logo with www.damones.net underneath... But then they go and spoil everything when the next screen appears =( The tune changes to a really hectic techno variation, and what is obviously supposed to be a bottle of Finlandia Vodka, only with the word DAMONES on the label instead, start spinning around the screen...and as if that was not enough disappointment, then try this on: That's all there is. Nothing more. So I went from thinking, "oh, this has a nice oldskool feeling to it", to a total dislike. The 3d graphics engine used does not really seem too impressive, just standard texturemapping with lightsource as far as I can see, and with an animated background. No credits or even production name appear anywhere inside the intro; the name above is based on the assembly 98 result file. [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.1. Danger Productions (-1992) -------------------------- Danger Productions were a swedish based demo group. After struggling through most of 1992 (Balance's "Magbox #1" [07/92] reported they had only 4 members left) they died late in the year, and most member formed Orient. DarkAge (DKG, 1997-) -------------------- Darkage was an international demo group, formed by Modem/Ram Jam in the early days of 1997. They arranged the 'Spoletium' party in Italy in march 1998. When Kaosmaster joined from Ram Jam, he brought the magchart Showtime with him, and several issues were released under the Darkage label.

Winner of the Darkness and Fifth Generation Party 92 demo competiton! Data Division (DD) ------------------ Data Division was an illegal cracking and board-group. Dazzle (1990-) -------------- Dazzle was a swedish demo group, formed by previous members of The Rubberduck Crew [no entry] since they felt their old group was too lame; this concerns a.o. Elrond. The first Dazzle demo, "Zkloff" [90] was originally intended to be a Rubberduck Crew-demo. Deadline (DLN, 1989-) --------------------- NOR> Jason (music, 09/91), Killroy (music, 09/91). Deadline was originally a Norwegian group, which eventually devloped a Finnish section that became more successful than the main group. The Norwegian members were coarrangers of one of the earliest editions of The Gathering. Later the Norwegian part of Deadline merged with main Gathering organizers Crusaders, and these Norwegian members probably went along: Freaky Angel (confirmed), Jellyfish (code), Mike (confirmed), Shady (confirmed), TDK. Deadline Design (1994-1995) --------------------------- Deadline Design was a swedish demo group, formed in 1994 by Axy/Sagazity, with the best members of that group. The founding members were Axy (org gfx sysop STATE 69), Blade (music), Rade (code) and Butch (code). The group managed to release one intro before all members got very inactive. So DD was also declared dead, likely in early 95. Axy and Blade formed another group, Bodyworks. Deadlock -------- Deadlock was a danish demo group, most notable for being an early group for later wellknown dk sceners like Mad Freak and Zinko. Deathstar (1988-1989) --------------------- Deathstar was a finnish demo group, formed by Drucer and Hackman late 1988. Their first release was Drucer's "Deadly Mix 2 Intro" [11/88]. By december, Codewizard (code), Gloryboy (swap), Shit Talker (crack), Viz (swap), Watchman (music) and Overlord (swap) had also joined. That month also saw two demo releases; "Dry Vodka" by Codewizard, and "Blasting" by Drucer. 1989 - The group coarranged the "Lahtiparty" with Overload, X-Men and Phalanx on the 7th to the 9th of april, and this was likely where Drucer's demo "Bob Outburst" [04/89] was released. By june when "Deadly Jammin -equa" [06/89] was released, Apol, Dr.DMA, Jason, LouLou Becane, Miguel, Scenic, Smithson, Suicide and Sulky Fellow had all been added to the memberlist, while Codewizard (code hardware, 12/88), Shit Talker (crack, 12/88) and Viz (swap, 12/88) had disappeared. Drucer released an additional demo this month, "Ham Magic" [06/89]. The original was quickly followed by "Deadly Jammin II" [07/89] in july. Graphician Willow and musician Unknown Artist, both of whom worked on this disk, was not on the memberlist from the previous month, and are presumed new members since then. A few other demos were released this year too, which we do not know the exact release date for. They are Sulky Fellow's "Fatal Mistake" [89], Apol's "Debut" [89] (made to announce Apol's joining, and featuring members Zei and Dark Light, which were new to us), Apol's "My Home Town" [89] (obviously made after "Debut"), Drucer's 2-disk "Megademo" [89] (featuring members Mucky and Asia, which were new to us), Sulky Fellow's "Sulky Fellow 1" [89] intro, and finally Dr.DMA's "Move Your Mouse" [89] which announced the group's death. It is also beliueved that Dr.DMA and Drucer's "The Vector Scroller" is a 1989 release. The group's death, as announced in the demo "Move Your Mouse" [89] was initiated by Watchman (music, 12/88-) being kicked out. This was in turn followed by core members Doctor DMA, Drucer and Smithson leaving to form Animate, since they were discontent with the the general skill level in Deathstar. It is possible that some other people from this group later followed on to this new group, but this is unconfirmed speculation for now, unfortunately. Some other members (Apol, Ripper, Sulky Fellow, Unknown Artist, ...) instead opted to form another group, called Exodus. Thanks to Reed for some information! Decade (DCD, 1991-) ------------------- GER> Spider (03/93). Decade were a german based group formed in september 1991, mainly dealing in the modem scene, but also releasing the odd crack and demo.

He was also the author of Defjam Packer 3.2 (and its forerunners Tetra-Pack, released under Tetragon) and one of the Amiga's most used apps of all time; the file archiver LhA. 1990 - A cracking partnership with Accumulators (ACC) and Computerbrains Cracking Service (CCS) this year, resulted in a number of joint releases between the months of february and july. Eddie and Smircher joined from The Silents around september, after the death of that group's finnish section. Deicide ------- SWE> Guardian (sysop UNICORN WHQ), Sorcerer (modem). ???> Snotling (swe? 11/93). Delicious (DLS) --------------- Delicious used to be called Delicious Design, but later changed their name to just Delicious. They will most probably be remembered as the group that spawned Essence. Delight [old] (DLT) ------------------- Delight was a french based demo group. They appear to not be the same group as the later, german-based, Delight. Delight [new] (DLT) ------------------- GER> Deathlord (ascii sysop CENTRAL CITY, also in ArtCore, 07/94-01/95), Slime (sysop HOMELESS, also in Sceptic, later Birdhouse Projects, 06-09/94), Trion & Hooligan (sysops EUROPES CHAOS, 12/94-03/95), Vascal (doorcode sysop BREAK AWAY EHQ, 09/93-04/95).

Boards; DOOM OF EXTASY EHQ (ger, 12/94-03/95), MAGIC BBS (ger, 03/95). Delight was an illegal cracking group, probably based in Germany. They appear to not be the same as the previous, french-based, Delight. Dee joined from Chaos A.D. late 93 or early 94 with his board UNDERCOVER, and later changed his handle to Demax. Delirium (DLM, -1997) --------------------- GER> Maz (sysop BLOODY DECISION, also in Upperclass, also in Aspect, 12/93- 11/97). BEL> Phil Douglas (crack, 01/96-11/97).

A crack intro released in november 1997 said "This may be the last release from Delirium amiga", so the death date is based on this information. Demons ------ Demons was a french demo group. Demons Slideshow 3 (1990, OCS Slideshow). code: Hades, gfx: C-Dryk, music: Ric. Depth (1993-, http://www.depth.org/) ------------------------------------ SWE> Crusader (Janne Kotta, swap ascii, 07/94), Warlock (Thomas Mortensen, org music swap, 07/94).

After a couple of years the group was merged with another, of which the leader was Ramon B5. They also had a strong Finnish section for a while, responsible for a fair amount of their productions. Ramon B5 was the original leader, but when he left (around 1993?) another dutchman - Ultimax - took over leadership. ChipChop #1 (1993, .03, ECS Musicfile). code: Venture, gfx: Mel, Dwel/Alcatraz (title), music: various, editors: Mick, NSA. info: Chiptune collection from the finnish section.

The group ceased to exist as all three members joined Wrath Designs in 1996.  #? (1995, 28.12, 40k Intro). code: Dep, gfx: none, music: Elixir (The Player 6.1A format). 28th in The Party 5 40k intro competition. review: Short and very blue. That's the best way to describe "#?", a 40k intro without graphics at all, and just a single phong object (with and without animated background) that still manages to be 40k in size! They've used Ludde's c2p routine, and the object is in that annoying every-other-pixel mask. While the first part has just the object (an undetailed torus) and a moving background, the second part has no background but 'afterburning' on the object. The file was called dFX-Wildcard.exe, a name that's a little more easy to put on the file than the actual name of the intro :) [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.0.

Dictators (DCT, 1990-1991) -------------------------- Dictators were formed by ex-members of Danish group Trilogy and some Swedish guys. They died toward the end of 1991...though the release date of "Woozy" and other information make this information seem highly unreliable! Woozy (1992, 07.02, ECS Demo).

A Maze In (1993, 11.07, ECS 40k Intro). code: Gengis, gfx: Alex (rotzoomhead), Dougnut (font), Titan (design), music: Clawz (XANN Packer format). 2nd in the Sun'n'Fun Conference II 93 demo competition. review: A good little intro from future coder celebrity Gengis, with some nice routines. Perhaps the most interesting one being the 'maze' part, which resembles an early Doom clone - complete with user interactivity! The maze is lightning fast on my machine, by the way. Also, there's a nice zoom rotator and an opening vector rendition of a DTL logo. Cool. [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0. Shakka Lakka (1994, 25.07, ECS Trackmo). code: Dillenger, gfx: Gfx-Twins, music: G.T.O. review: A quite acceptable trackmo from the German division. The graphics are rather good throughout, though never excellent. The music is functionable, but nothing more, and the coding rather nice. As you can see, this demo never rises to greatness, but is still a good production. Can't find any party results that list this, and the production does not mention any party either. There's a few fullscreen pictures and lots of incidental graphics, if that's your thing. Nice. No loading problems. [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.

I don't know if everyone is as nostalgic (or, well, old) as I am, but that just sent a smile to my face, right there. The name of the intro sends a certain degree of message about what this intro holds in store.. it's pretty cute. They also claim theirs is the first ever gouraud shade routine on a non-aga machine.
