Grapevine was a Disk magazine for the Commodore Amiga [1] published by the Demo scene group LSD. [2] The magazine was published between 1991 and 1995. [3]
The first eight issues of Grapevine were published on a single floppy disk. As the magazine became more popular and more articles were submitted by its readers, it required two to three disks per issue. The editor of Grapevine was known as Parasite, later PaZZa/LSD. Several co-editors helped with the magazine under PaZZa's guidance, Scud/LSD, Torch/LSD, and KEND/LSD. The magazine was originally coded by Monty Python, and then re-coded with a mouse-driven interface later in the series by Shagrat, Fish/LSD, watchman/LSD, and other artists regularly made custom art covers for the magazines' title page. Echo/LSD (Graham Gray/Spoon Wizard) and Mub/LSD wrote original background music.
Grapevine was mainly a magazine for those within the demo scene, so some articles made little sense to outsiders. Nonetheless, it was well received. [3] PaZZa's musings usually consisted of a tongue-in-cheek look at everything and anything, and usually ended in the disclaimer "all spelling mistakes copyright me!"
An attempt was made in 2005 to revive Grapevine in the form of a web-based magazine by a group not connected to the original, known as EllesDee.
The use of the original disk magazine's name, as well as EllesDee being a corruption of the original creator's name (LSD), brought strong criticism from some members of the demo scene, including the original team. [4] Some original LSD members were approached for permission to start the revival project, and the first issues contained submissions from KenD/LSD.
The revival website, as well as that of EllesDee, was subsequently shut down.
