our this month's interview partners
were murdock of nec/nei and i would
say the almost legendary conan of
strike force/elite !
although he is not active in the
present pirate-scene it will be quite
interesting to read the interview...
but first we start with murdock...
m : mamba
> : murdock
m : hi jason, tell us something about
your person !
> : ok, my name is jason,i'm 15 years
old, 5 feet 11 and my weight is
155 pounds. i have brown hair and
blue eyes. i really like skate-
boarding, right now i'm semi-
sponsored, so i get all the
equipment for free.
m : how did you join the scene and
what's about your computer
career ?
> : in april '90 i met flatliner/
fantasy and we became good
friends. i told him that i wanted
to join a group and to get out of
the hack/phreak scene.
one day spitfire/action called me
up and wanted me to join action
as a card hacker. and so i did.
a few days later i also joined
fantasy. everything worked out
fine, cos action was fan's main
contact.
at the end of july '90 fantasy
was having some group problems.
one day tdo/nec+nei asked me to
join nec+nei. i thought about it
and quitted fantasy to join nec+
nei. and that's the group i
belong right now.
m : what is your job in nec+nei ?
> : well, my job in nec+nei is
imorting, hacking and spreading
all the nec+nei wares!
m : hm now please tell us from where
you got your handle !
> : hmm, alot of my friends think
that i'm pretty crazy, because
of some things i do. so they gave
me the nickname of murdock.
i put 2 things together :
1) murdock is a drug, which makes
you to do crazy things.
2) on the tv they show mc guyver
and a-team.there are 2 characters
named murdock and both of them
are fucking crazy!
then i think that the handle of
a person doesn't matter, it's the
person behind the handle who
counts.
m : how did you get famous ?
> : i got known as i joined fantasy,
because i was a good hacker.
m : please tell us something about
your group !
> : ok, the current memberstatus of
nec/nei is horizon, tdo, archmage
prodigy, defiance and myself
murdock. (ed +technique & grim
reaper) nec cracks all the games,
which are coming out in the
states. nei memberstatus : tdo,
horizon and murdock. nei imports
all the european games. (ed. ??)
nei is trading with the following
groups right now : legend, action
and culture.
m : how is it to be the #1 group in
the states, are you overworked
by all the releases you did
lately ?
> : of course, it feels good to be
the #1 in cracking and imorting.
sometimes i thought i was over-
worked, but to be #1 takes a lot
of work.
m : what do you think about the scene
nowadays ?
> : i think that there are a very few
american elites left in the scene
but i think it's ok right now.
m : do you have any wishes for the
future ?
> : no, i don't have any wishes,(ed.
you are the 8th wonder!!!)
just to continue having fun in
life.
m : did you ever regret the years on
c64 ?
> : ehm, yeah. i thought about it
sometimes. whenever an euro wakes
me up in early morning and asks
me for a card or that i have to
import a game, coz nobody else
is at home.
that really pisses me off.
m : what are you doing in your spare-
time ?
> : i like to skateboard, snowboard,
listen to music, going out with
friends and all that stuff.
m : what are your favourites ?
> : music : the misfits
food : pizza
computer : amiga
sport : skateboarding
drink : coke
game : chase hq ii
movie : another 48 hours
m : at the end would you like to
greet anybody ?
> : yep, i'd like to greet...
horizon, tdo, grim reaper,
archmage, technique, pudwerx, tbb
powerplant, goldfish, narc, kt,
spitfire, pyle, krs#1, skater,
richie and gene.
m : and is there anyone you really
dislike ?
> : hm..yes, the people,who i dislike
know who they are ! i'd like to
say to them...fuck you, you suck!
m : ok, thanx for the interview,
jason !

has been fun !

with conan/strike force, you may know
him as norman/elite.interviewed by
freestyle. m:mamba n:norman
--------------------------------------
f:tell me somthing about yourself?
n:well, i'm 19 years old, 180 meters
high and the colour of my hair is
black.
f:how did your career on the 64 start?
n:everything started in 1985. after 2
years of lameness and sliming i
formed together with some friends
strike force.
n:we were not kicking ass from the
very beginning, but after some time
the result of our real hard work was
satisfying. we got damned hot orgies
and in this way we managed to reach
the top. unfortuneately someone
announced us to the police and so
strike force died. some time later
i decided to enter the scene again.
together with the movers, zaz and
speed cracker of twg and radwar, i
built the successful legend called
elite! after a great time we all
slowly lost our interest in illegal
activities. the movers built up
starbyte and i coded the game
leonardo for them.
n:then i sold my c64, but now i got
back another c64.
f:are you coding again a game for the
c64?
n:yes! right now i'm coding a game
called exis. zaz and speed cracker
(ex.twg), who recently built up a
real music group called synthetic
vortex, will make the sounds for it.
f:great that you're still active on
the c64. did you ever think of a
comeback in the cracker scene?
n:yes! nearly every day! i still get
fucking fast originals. at the
moment, i have not much time, but
perhaps, one day suddenly i will be
back. who knows??
f:that would be the greatest thing
that could happen to the c64 scene.
a real renaissance would start!
what hobbies do you have nowadays?
n:my girlfriend, my car, going out
with friends and computing(still!)
f:describe your girl friend for me?
n:she has long, blond waved hair. she
looks like a model. she is 1.70 high
and 19 years old, too!
f:what music do you listen to?
n:ohh, i like hip-house and marianne
rosenberg, furhter i also listen to
techno house (ed. rave!)
f:you like exactly the same styles as
i! what do you think of drugs?
n:great!(ed. originally geit!), but i
don't use them! i even don't smoke.
f:and alcohol?
n:a great deal of every kind.
f:yes, i still remember the times when
you won the drinking competition on
the fairlight party!!
n:(starts laughing like a fool!)
i don't know why this is so public.
to that time i wasn't able to bear 3
glasses of beer. the others were
pleased with this.
f:what's your opinion of genesis?
n:genesis was hated by nearly everyone
to my time. antichrist/omg is a
dirty asshole!
n:snacky was the biggest slimer!!
f:oh, hard words. do you want to greet
anybody in the end ?
n:greets to tridos, speed cracker,
zaz, radwar, 711? and of
course ikari and talent!
f:bye, thanks for the great interview.
you are one of the coolest dudes i
ever talked to(no sliming!) perhaps
god brings us together one day?!?
