Trip 2 Hell

By Adok/Hugi


Trip 2 Hell was a Swiss scene diskmag by the group Fire Skull. Its second issue was in German, the other issues were mostly in English. All three issues can be downloaded from scene.org and work with DOSBox.


Trip 2 Hell 07/94

The July 1994 issue, which was the first issue of Trip 2 Hell, featured an ANSI-style interface with background music. The code was done by Zarek, the ANSI art by Jazz and Mick The Punisher, and the sound came from Knuddel. The editors of this issue were Thorax, Zarek and Knuddel.

After the title picture faded out, the main menu scrolled in from bottom to top. The mag was controlled using the cursor keys and Enter for switching between article and menu. With Esc, you could quit the mag anytime.

Contents: First of all there was a news (and rumour) corner. It dealt with Swiss sceners and groups. Then there were charts. Categories: top five bulletin boards, sysops and groups. The reports section dealt with two groups: the "Anti Anubis Crew" (AAC) and Indiction. The AAC was formed because some callers were opposed to how the sysop of the Lucifer BBS, Anubis, treated his users. The interview corner was about Chicken and Snoop. Finally, there was a jokes corner.

The third and final issue of Trip 2 Hell featured a similar interface as the first issue, except the title picture being VGA. Again there were news and rumours, charts (with the same categories as in issue 1), reports (Orbit Meeting, Blue Water BBS, Despair Inc.), an interview with Alien and some jokes.
