? for how long have you been into the 64
scene. or in other words : please tell

commodore 64 - and it's scene?
! in the summer 1988 i bought my c-64
inc. hardware.i swapped with lists
some games.1989 i joined a lame crew
called crown cracking service and '91
again such a lame group called black
bolt.this group only freezed games
and linked intro's,most with intro-
makers.we only swapped with lamercrews
like turtle power etc. (have you ever
heard from them??? it was not a real
scenegroup.in summer 91 i was caught
by grafenreuth.i was sentenced to work
60 hours in a youthcentre.
when i was caught,i stopped gameswap
and only continued swapping with my
few real scenecontacts.
in october 1991 i built up excess with
sentinel,darkman,firelord and bigfoot.
sentinel and i are the only former-
members,who are still in.
? in which groups have you been before?
! 1989-90 crown cracking service
1990-91 black bolt
1991- excess
in september 92 i was 2 weeks in
x-rated.
? your handle red rock.
is there a special story to it?
please tell how you got it!
! there's no story.firelord/excess had
the idea,when i swapped without any
handle in summer 1989.
? what is your memberstatus and job in
your current group ?
! i'm mainly cracker,but i also swap
with about 50 guys.i had 130 contacts,
when darkman gave me his contacts in
summer '92 (when he quitted),but as
i prefer long letters (if possible),
i gave many to spermbird.i edit some
chapters for nitro and want to start
something with my modem soon.

your favourite friend(s) in the scene
? well rather many oxy's i'm flattered!!
! jack alien,nightshade,the silver sur-
fer,mr.brain,biz kid,dr.disk,bizarre
and some more....
? yeah a whole lot of things you liked.
but what about things you dislike!
is there any particulary phenomena or
mayby dudes you do not like in the
scene. give us the story!!
! i don't like those people,who still
care about my past in the scene.
? what is your plans for the future ?
both in the scene and in private !
! in private i want to get a good
result in my apprentice,when i have
the final test in 2 1/2 years.
in the scene i want to go on like
always.perhaps i want to do some-
thing with my modem,soon.
? the c64 scene unfortunately can't live
forever !
when it dies (in a lot of years!!)
what will you then do?
jump to the (l)amiga or pc, or simply
quit the entire compy-scene?
! i think,that i will buy a pc before,
and when the scene dies,i try to con-
tinue there.but i try to hold contact
to my best friends.
? people often talk about a lamer.
but what is a lamer?. please give me
your definition !
! i don't care about this crap anymore.
there will ever be elite,who call the
non-elite-guys lamers.
beginners are no lamers in my eyes.
perhaps those people,who can't do any-
thing on the 64,and slag on people in
less good groups.

? do you prefer legal stuff or cracks
from your contacts.?
! i prefer own stuff.legal or illegal.
but if they send no own stuff,they
should send legal.
? do you use cheated stamps ?
! not anymore!!!
? why not?
! i was caught twice.once i had to pay
not that much.it was in 1990.but when
i was caught in 1991,i was sentenced
to pay 4000 german marks.my parents
now must pay 200 german marks each
month,till end of 1993.
by the way,my parents don't allow me
cheating anymore,but stopped it on
my own,as i won't get caught again.
i told all my contacts to avoid the
stampcheating,but i can't forbit this.
i don't take sendings if i must pay
FOR CHEATED STAMPS.but if i only must
pay for too less stamps,it's differ-
rent.i pay for the sendings and tell
those contacts about that fact.
? magazines! some people say there's too
many - some say there's not!!
what do you think?
! i like reading nearly all mags,and i
think,there are not too much mags.but
all who start a mag now,must believe,
that it's always harder to get sheets.
many swappers are fed up with filling
out votesheets.now we in nitro get
around 250 sheets each issue,but i
don't believe,that we can hold this
amount.
? they for one thing sure keep the scene
alive, but what about demos?
what do you think about the quality of
the demos produced nowadays?
! i like GOOD demo's,but what was re-
leased in the past 1/2 year,was very
average till bad.
i hope,the top-demogroups shock the
scene again with some great routines,
if they release their demo's on the
x-mas party '93.
? what is your advice to all the demo -
producing groups, concerning their
future productions?
! black mail should release d.breeze 2,
and censor should make a better last
demo on the 64.wonderland 10 wasn't
that good.
? if you had the opportunity to build up
a new group - which persons would you
like to join ?
! coders : tts,mr.rage,tron
musicians : a-man,decoy,echo
gfx'ers : gotcha,alien prophet
swappers : all our swappers
modemtraders : cst,majesty,dr.disk
crackers : jack alien,sentinel
and powerplant.
brainstorm!
