- «as»In the last issue of «c5»D.I.S.C. «c1»I asked 5 sceners about their expectations
- towards the amiga and the scene in the year 2001. This time I wanted to
- know if their expectations had been fulfilled. However,
- «c5»Zito/DARKAGE «c1»didn't reply to my emails... therefore you'll
- only get the short remarks from «c5»Curt Cool, Darkhawk, Ghandy «c1»and «c5»Punisher.«»

- «as»«c7»"I expect so. But actually giving a proper answer would involve actually
- remembering, what I expected the first time. Which I, needless to say,
- don't."«»

- «as»«c7»"In my opinion they have been fullfilled, as the scene still keeps going, and
- there have been some new people joining the scene. Despite all the complaining
- around, I'm still optimistic regarding the future of our beloved community.
- Let us cheer together for the glory which will come in 2002!"«»

- «as»«c7»"Yes, the Amiga demoscene still exists and goes strong. The number of
- people playing a role in any way is very low but the quality of
- releases still satisfies me. With all our hardware limitations, with
- the less people being active, it`s awesome what they have created!!«»
- «»
- «as»«c7»Of course they were also a lot of crappy releases but that was
- always the case!"«»

- «as»«c7»"Well, well, seems like I was a bit too careful in my Expectation lines for
- the last DISC.. Yes, the diskmag scene had a nice year, as expected, but
- there were also 20 Amiga demos released at the MS 2001, and I hadn't
- expected that at all naturally, although it was way cool. Now, the year is
- not over, but looking back now, there's really a lot to look back on...
- diskmags, slideshows, chippacks, intros and especially demos. And the year
- is not gone yet. As you read this, my group has released 2 chippacks, 3
- diskmags, 2 demos (3 maybe, but this is as ever, uncertain ;)), 3 intros, 1
- slideshow and an iconpack this year. Hehe, while we've been the most active
- group around this year (I think? But respect to Gods, Darkage and Depth,
- with whom we coproduced some of these prods) a LOT of other people released
- stuff, as you should know if you're collecting. Actually 2001 has been the
- best year looking at the quantity of scene releases since.. Well, since..
- 96' or 97' I think. And it isn't even over yet.. Very positive. Also,
- people are going back to OCS prods, aswell as 'forward' to PPC demos too,
- so we have both movements, even without a new Amiga. Wonderful, and I'm happy
- this year was more positive than I thought!"«»
