|VORTEX 42|
+---------+----------------------------+
|While FAIRLIGHT and TRIAD were batt- |
|ling to be leaders of the world, a |
|new hotshot came along. RYGAR and |
|BILBO among others started deliver- |
|ing a wide set of releases, but the |
|concept did not last long before the |
|forming of SCIENCE451 and other gro- |
|ups. RYGAR has since remained in |
|S451 and is considered the biggest |
|modemtrader of all time on the Amiga.|
|While VORTEX42 delivered an astonish-|
|ing 7O releases in a bit over half a |
|year, SCIENCE451 never quite made it |
|in the cracker-world. Their demos, |
|were however more remembered. |
+-------------------------------------+

+----+
|XAKK|
+----+---------------------------------+
|XAKK caught the trend quickly and de-|
|livered fast cracks, but also some |
|very fine demos. ODD RABBITS, BOUND |
|TO BE BEST and NO SLEEP are all worth|
|looking at, as well as KNATTER'S mus-|
|ic. KNATTER was originally not a mus-|
|ician, but a cracker, but still XAKK |
|became one of the first groups in the|
|world to have an exclusive musician. |
|Only SOUNDMONITOR made it possible. |
+-------------------------------------+
+-----+
|X-RAY|
+-----+--------------------------------+
|was born out of the rather successful|
|but short concept of INXS, a German/ |
|Austrian-rooted group. At the time |

|X-RAY came along, it was still rare |
|for groups to be launching non-full- |
|price software (DOUBLE DENSITY etc.),|
|but X-RAY did just that. Interesting |
|enough, they were never discredited |
|for it. Most of their software was |
|cracked by THE FLEET, an internal |
|label. The intro used, is still one |
|of the classic ones. Not to mention |
|their X-RAY-Schnaps served at several|
|parties. Many are the celebrites who |
|have puked from it. |
+-------------------------------------+
+--------------+
|YETI FACTORIES|
+--------------+-----------------------+
|Famous for skipping school (and many |
|of them having to take classes again)|
|every time a new game came out. Keep |
|in mind, that new games came out 4-5 |

|times a week, and YETI intended to |
|crack almost every one of them. They |
|were huge in success, and put down to|
|art by HOBBIT in the classic CRACKING|
|COMICS. |
+-------------------------------------+
+-------+
|ZEB/WOT|
+-------+------------------------------+
|was a successful coopeartion between |
|two only fairly popular groups- ZENO-|
|BITS and WARRIORS OF TIME. Some of |
|the early ROUGH TRADE, LEGEND and |
|F4CG-faces were part of this coop- |
|eration among others NARC (WESTBAM). |
+-------------------------------------+
+------+
|ZENITH|
+------+-------------------------------+
|When the UK scene was at its best, |

|ZENITH came along with STEVE and |
|IRONFIST in the lead. The group were |
|fast in trading with the states, but |
|could not quite compee with the lead-|
|ing SCG, FUSION and IKARI. It divided|
|up the scene in two camps - either |
|you loved them, or you hated them. |
|People from the German SHARKS joined |
|up in the end, but at that point, the|
|battle was already lost. |
