Nerve Axis was an English-based Amiga demo group, active in 1992-1999. They were formed in July 1992 by Telemach and originally headquartered around Bolton, Manchester.
In September 1992, several British groups split up and Nerve Axis gained a lot of their members.
Original founder Telemach left to concentrate on his new group Ascii Unlimited in mid 1993. Organizing duties were taken over by Sarek and Evil-C. Kenton left to form a new group around this time. English coder Oedipus left for Destiny shortly after the Destiny Communion party in August. Their demo Impossible Cube in August 1993 was the first British AGA demo, but most of those members later left to form Neo (among others Khul and Rombust. OSD left the scene altogether. From an alltime high of 45 members this left them with 7. After some time without even a coder, things then turned around and new members were recruited. After Neo died, Rombust rejoined. English coder Lando left some time this year.
Bliss left the group for Steps of Change in april. In 1996 members were Zone, Crash!, Venom, Axe, Nexus, Stigg, Rombust, Tommy Schlott, Teech, Terminal Storm, Nik, Babbage, Leonardo, Damage, Meson, Squidge, Excalibur, Jam, Spoon, Ganja, ZipZippy, Ace, Carebear, Epsilon, Tango, Rage, Maffia and Cyber - a total of 28.1
In August 1997 members were Zone, Crash, Tango, Venom, Meson, Schlott, Babbage, Nik, Nexus, Spoon, Jam, Ganja, Turbo, ZipZippy, Ace, KGB, Demolee, Neelix and Icon.2
In a major cleanup, Ace, ZipZippy, Demolee, Turbo, Nik (code), Nexus (code) and Icon (trade) were all kicked in April 1998. An August memberlist revealed Babbage, Nik, Nexus, Turbo, ZipZippy, Ace, KGB, Demolee, Neelix and Icon were removed since last year, while Wade had appeared.3
In an interview with group leader Crash in Devotion #2 (June 2001), the group's future was discussed. Most members now have pcs, and the prospect of further amiga demos are almost nonevident. Their coder Schlott now works as a pc coder for Runecraft in Yorkshire, England, currently finishing up work on his first commercial title, the puzzle game "Super Bubble Pop". Zone is also working at Runecraft, designing front screens, menus and websites for various projects. Coder Venom has emigrated to the usa to work for a large ISP, while Ganja is in the finishing stages of cutting his first commercial cd. Meson has probably left the scene for good.
