hello interview freax!this time it's my job to make an interview in this issue! well,i think this interviews are very useful.you can learn about the guests thoughts, and you can have an idea about them.so this parts are one of the most readed parts in the mags! think that there're lotsof mags and every of them try to make int- erviews with the guyz who haven't interviewed before,so sometimes it's hard to find a cool guy to interview! but we did it one more time! yeah,this is MR.BRAIN/ACY will make an interview with a cool guy. you know him as a cracker in excess and the main-editor of the mag nitro! yes,right!he's RED ROCK/EXCESS. i'll be the positive(+) and he'll be the negative(-). (ed.he's not a negative person in real life.this's just an int.!) yeah,let's start: +:first as usual,can you intro- duce yourself to us? -:my real name is dennis,i'm 16 years old,1.85m tall and i have blond hair.i visit the 10th form of the school here.my hobbies are playing tennis(and beating then ourleader),badmington,good movies in the cinema,video,venlo meetings and other scene meetings,music, long phone calls and my 64. +:when and how did you enter the scene? -:i entered the scene around 1989 when my cousin quickx/wom told me to buy a c-64 and no amiga,he gave me some cool stuff and i began to swap(mainly collecting games). after many more or less lame groups i built up EXCESS together with sentinel,darkman and bigfoot in november 91.in october 91,i joined x-rated for 1 week,but i rejoined excess,you see. +:what is your job in excess? -:my job is mainly cracking and writing texts for nitro.as i had fun to start swapping again,i took over darkmans contacts in summer92 when he left the scene.i also have a modem and try to have some fun with it.i work on coding,too,but all i can yet,is a simple scroller +:can you tell us,what are the hard things in editing&releasing a mag? -:the hardest thing is to count the sheets(ed.sure!)you need days to count our sheets(around 240 every issue).the hardest thing in releasing a mag is getting all chapters in time.that was no prob- lem for us,when excess had only local members. +:everybody says"there are a lot of mags!".don't you think,reading a mag is better than some other things,like playing low-budget games!? -:yes,reading mags is more inter- esting,but there are too many mags!when there were around 20 mags,when we started nitro,a mag was for me to read news and find adresses to contact.but now every month 2 or 3 mags are starting and hope to climb into the top.in all mags are the same adresses,and if each group has a mag,they get news on the sheets and don't have to read news out of other mags.the much mags show,that too less quality-games come out for spread- ing.together with low-budget crax the mags are the most spread thing +:what was the thing make you release a mag?can you tell us it's story? -:when we planned to start a mag in 1991,a mag was something really cool.if i got a mag i read the whole text and spend much time on filling each sheet.and so we thought about releasing an own mag there's no story. +:what can you say about the mags in scene?how do you qualify them? -:there are only a few really cool mags,who really rule and which i read complete.(splash is one of them!).(ed.thanx!it was the thing what i need!)there are also some nice mags,which i like and where i try to get every issue to read all important text.but too many mags have no chance to have a big success,even when they're not bad.a mag must be more perfect then some years ago.the most important is for me the text and not the outfit. +:what's the reason that you're still on 64-scene,because you know everybody is going to some other systems? -:as you perhaps don't know,i was in 1991 on amiga,too.the scene is full of lamer groups and too less cool guyz.it's a lame-scene.i don't like the demos on amiga. lame digital-sound and routines, which are possible on 64,too.the 64-scene is the best scene.the pc- scene will be like the 64-scene,so i will went to pc later but stay on the 64 then. +:what do you know and what do you think about turkish-scene? -:i know that all turkish sceners are in turkish groups,except flatline,when he was in excess before he quitted.the turkish scene is too far away from the west-european countries,so a fast swap isn't possible.but there are a few cool groups in turkiye. (accuracy,clique) +:what do you think about "elite" &"lamer" words? -:nothing,i don't care about this anymore,as it's too boring. (ed.i feel the same!) +:what do you think,this scene depends on? -:friendship is important,and that i missed in the amiga-scene. +:can you tell us your favourites ?? -:cracker group:success demo group :oxyron mag :shock+network coder :tts graphician :firelord cracker :silversurfer swapper :nightshade bizarre composer :a-man+decoy demo :dutch breeze +:after cracking,editing,swapping going to school(or visiting!), eating etc..maybe you've still some free times!what do you do then? -:i play tennis and badminton. long phone calls and watching mtv. +:what do you think about inter- views?is it interesting?why? -:i like interviews,if they're not with so lame questions like "what is a lamer?".(ed.like this one?!)interviews are interesting, as it's not possible for a swapper to give his contacts all facts about him. +:at last you can greet some friends and say your last words! (ed.i mean the last words in this interview,don't worry,you'll not die!!) -:free phonecalls to nightshade/ success,bizarre/trance,silversurf- er/success,bordeaux/acrise,tts/oxy ron,jack alien/alphaflight,bigfoot /ex-paramount,tbb,airwolf/success, mr.wax/chromance,calypso/amnesia, splatterhead/sacred,mr.brain/accur acy,smile/clique,pussymaster,trino mic,dr.kaos,doc hollyday/trance, authentic/dunex,avalanche/alphafli ght,smd/mechanix,a-man,executor/ vagabonds,nameless/skylight,voyage and all in excess. thanx for the interview and much luck with your cool mag. thanx,and another interview is reached to an end.i hope to see you all again with another inter- view done by me. if you want to be interviewed in this mag then just write to me: MR.BRAIN/ACCURACY ------------------- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX now,just load the other inter- views as they are waiting for you to read. mr.brain signs off.
