Raven / Nuance Adok / Hugi	Blue - that's the calm colour, the colour that suits a diskmag best because it makes you enter a relaxed state, feel comfortable and read the articles with pleasure. It's also the colour Blue that turns on your imagination, that makes you start dreaming. Blue is The Colour of Fantasy. This is exactly the purpose of this Hugi issue: to boost your fantasy, to give you new ideas, new inspiration and motivation to make them materialize. Many articles in this issue are of this kind: they present thoughts, ideas their authors had, sources of inspiration for you and your friends. Read about them, absorb them. Think about them, dive into them. Play with them. Realize them. Make your dreams come true one day. Graphics by Raven/Nuance, LoneStar/Phare Design, Adok/Hugi. Music by Melcom, Dynamite, Valzihjken, KENEDY/NEXTEMPIRE, CoaXCable/CoolPhaT. Articles by 19 authors. The most prolific writer is a new one, Emmanuel Poirier aka EP/CosmiK - a man with a lot of imagination indeed. Warning: There are only three coding-related articles in this issues. So do not be disappointed. There is also a Russian edition of Hugi #29, which can be downloaded here. You can also read the articles from Hugi #29 online right in your web browser: click here.

seven 11 / k-storm TAD	Actually I considered to name this issue "God's own magazine" for a while, but after our experiences with calling ourselves "The Royal Family", I've drawn the conclusion that there might again be some people who take this too seriously. So I've opted for another subtitle: "The Freedom Diskmag". Hugi 27 is the magazine released on the occasion of a new freedom in countries formerly ruled by evil dictators, and in the world in general. Editorial, Scene, Coding and Misc (Real Life & Literature) - these are the sections in this issue, densely packed with interesting contents. The GFX have been created by seven11, TAD and Steve Bian, the music comes from My Voice, Gloom, Merlin and Teller, and several dozens of writers have contributed to a total of 620k of articles. There are three special sub-sections in the coding corners: how to create 4k intros, how to draw polygons and how to use ASP on your website. There is also a Russian edition of Hugi #27, which can be downloaded here. You can also read the articles from Hugi #27 online right in your web browser: click here.

Raven / Nuance LoneStar	The Techno Tarantula is a funny being. It was created by Adok/Hugi by means of genetic engineering. He has inserted a gene into it that made it develop a special organ that produces techno music. Since its existence, the Techno Tarantula has placed 1st at every music competition at every demo party in this world. But actually it just covers work from Gargoyle, JDruid/Turbiini, JosSs, Qumran, chavez/funktion, arel frost, iliks/hugi and zalza/rebels. Its outer appearance resembles a mixture of Raven/Nuance, LoneStar, Fjrb/Hugi and TAD. And it's able to recite 1023 kbytes of texts by heart. Among them there's a lot about graphics & music, including a special corner on skinning created by SacRat, coding stuff on 64k and 4k intro making, poetry, stories, demoscene-related texts and other results of various crazy types of brain activity. There is also a Russian edition of Hugi #26, which can be downloaded here. You can also read the articles from Hugi #26 online right in your web browser: click here.

Fusko / Scenic Fjrb / Hugi	In the mystical world of orcs, elves and dwarfs, with its dark woods and cold dungeons, the brave adventurer needs a special equipment to complete his journey successfully. He needs the item that gives him the power of the fairies. This item is - Hugi 25! (What else.) Hugi 25 - Fairy Power includes black, white and colourful magic by Fusko/Scenic, Fjrb/Hugi and TAD, ocarinas and flutes by iliks/hugi, Bozo/Medieval, zalza/rebels and look, one thousand scrolls with secret spells, keys to 256 hidden doors by baze/3sc, a handy tool for the reproduction of fairy power by zZz/KCN and many, many riddles and rhymes to puzzle you, daring hero. This issue includes a Flash 5 tutorial by TAD. There's a separate Literature section for the first time, with stories and poems by iliks, the Alchemist, Sol and DiamonDie. There's a party calendar again, which of course isn't that important, but what's important is that there are some pretty interesting party reports. Some puzzling quizzes are also included. But there's one question which is not answered in this issue: Why do fantasy heroes never go to the toilet? There is also a Russian edition of Hugi #25, which can be downloaded here.

Critikill / Farbrausch Critikill / Farbrausch	A high-quality issue both content- and designwise. The Demoscene corner is especially strong, with a dozen interviews (focus: Scene Professionals - sceners who have made their hobby their profession), several making-of reports (e.g. 232 by ainc and De profundis by Kolor), party reviews, statements in the discussion of the philosophical aim of the scene, a guide to Telnet BBSing and a diskmag hidden parts list. The coding corner features, among other things, a couple of graphics tutorials, especially about 3D engines, as well as mathematical theory on less known ways of computing the derivative of a function and useful hints for Windows size-optimizing. In the Art corner, the readers are introduced into the concept of Machinima, another branch of digital art that is closely related to demos. Finally, the Real World corner offers the equally relaxing and exciting mix of politics, literature and lifestyle reports; both The Wake Up Call and Poetry by Eyes of Repulsion are present in this issue. You'll get spoilt with graphics that have been designed by Critikill of Farbrausch, Fjrb and Tomaes/TAP. The music comes from JosSs, daike/lfn, substance/mawi, peal Hunter / TDP and iliks/Hugi. There is also a Russian edition of Hugi #24, which can be downloaded here. You can also read the articles from Hugi #24 online right in your web browser: click here.

There's a complete book in this issue, Tomcat's Army Report - it has been translated from the Hungarian language exclusively for Hugi.

Kthulu/Nextempire nldsr/fadeout^lfn	Ah, the warm and bright time of the year is returning. And Hugi is back with a new style: Let brightness be our guidance! Let the power of eternal sunshine inspire our creative minds! This issue offers big graphics & coding corners with tutorials for beginners and professionals.

Besides, we have 50 kbytes of scene news, new chapters of the shortstories The Wake Up Call and Poetry by eyes of repulsion, and some extravaganza such as a How to get a girlfriend tutorial. Some changes in the layout have been to increase your reading pleasure and to stimulate the flow of ideas in your brain.

The involved composers are iliks, chavez/funktion, JKL/CoSl, smirk/damage, rieha/array and Ciccilleju!/Apocalypse Design. The graphics were made by Kthulu/Nextempire, nldsr/fadeout^lfn, Mali/Vivid and TAD.

Kthulu/Nextempire Mali/Vivid	The horror issue: dark graphics, dark music - but bright texts. Just the right thing for the ending year 2000. Is the demoscene becoming mainstream? Why does the scene have to be present at the next Siggraph? What is a geek? How can one create 4k intros under Windows? How does 3DS Max work? How will biotechnology change our world?

Bridgeclaw/Gods TAD/Hugi	The giant is back for the nineteenth time to show his power and wisdom. If Hugi 18 was The Eminent, then Hugi 19 is The Superior: What seemed the optimum has been beaten in all aspects. A variety of background themes never seen before (four background pictures and three tunes) and a huge mass of articles worth 1,348,577 bytes about our usual variety of scene and real life topics will defeat everybody's inhibitions to feel ultimate pleasure. The godlike creatures who helped with combined forces on this 19th resurrection of the ancient giant are Chris Dragan with his completely rewritten and vastly enhanced engine, TAD with his highly effective painting and writing techniques, Bridgeclaw/Gods with his artistic excellence, Makke/Visuale, P-rat/Access Denied and JKL/CoSl with their extremely high skills at the use of magical instruments and most importantly Hugi's loads of adherents who contributed the small puzzle stones that were necessary to give the giant his proper form. Coding, demoscene, diskmag scene, computer lifestyle, politics, stories and poetry, these are the fields in which Hugi 19 - The Superior will teach you great new things. The bonus pack can be leeched here. You can also read the articles from Hugi #19 online right in your web browser: click here.

dines/blabla dines/blabla	Just before Y2K, Hugi Core & Royal Family release their special bugfix against the "millennium" hysteria: Hugi #18 - The Eminent. A new diskmag engine, coded by Chris Dragan, will guard our readers safely into the last year of the 20th century. It will also make life easier with its many new features, such as saving articles in HTML, changing the background graphics and full text search. Hugi #18 - The Eminent is 100% in English language. It features graphics by dines of blabla, Hellfire of Haujobb and FloOd of Noice, music by Acumen, Andromeda of Razor1911, traymuss of GiRaFfE, Ciccilleju of Apocalypse and Kenedy of Nextempire, and articles by, once again, fifty different writers. Especially worth checking out: the Dreamhack party report by Morph, the new song format concept by Chris Dragan, the new chapters of The Wake Up Call by TAD and JKL, the Texture Generation doc by Ile - the staff is really unable to decide which article is the best.
