This issue introduces the new E-Paper viewer shell complete with setup instructions and system requirements, alongside a brief history of the LFG demogroup project. The coding section provides assembly code for Scorpion model detection and hard drive checks. System utility coverage features Ultra X Format, the SPLAYER music utility for Pro Tracker 3 modules, and Macro Adapter v2.0i for screen pixel filtering and pseudo-resolution effects. Non-technical articles explore controversial theories surrounding the US Apollo moon landings, the origins of steampunk and Babbage's engines, and a humorous critique of PC users from a ZX Spectrum enthusiast perspective. Coverage of Chaos Constructions 000 rules, a local demoscene party report, and a software appendix round out the release.
