 wn: at first, please tell us your way
     how you get famous:

  ?: together with some friends i re-
     leased a demo at the CRAZY-PARTY
     in le locle/switzerland .
     we reached the 4.th place out of
     8 places. so this was a first
     success for us . after the party
     i joined FRESH , where i first
     had jobs like coding and swapping.
     after some time my main task was
     organising . so i became the LEADER
     together with felix .
     after fresh died , i and dave made
     a fast and cool crack of ATOMIC
     ROBO KIT . we had no group yet ,so
     i asked bod/talent to release it
     under the ikari+talent label . he
     agreed and was satified, so we both
     joined TALENT .


 wn: tell us your work and the work of
     the other members

  ?: in talent , we are in this moment
     4 members .
     the english guys BOD and XXX make
     everything for our good name in
     the cracking and modem-scene ,
     while DAVE and I concentrate on
     coding . a demo will soon appear.

 wn: what's your job ?

  ?: i'm still going to school . i'll
     pass my final-examination probably
     this summer !


 wn: which group is the best in scene ?

  ?: it's not fair to answer such a
     question ! there are MANY cool
     groups needed to form a good scene
     like the one on the c-64 !


 wn: what do you think about our mag
     and which is the best ever ?

  ?: i love mags . without them , the
     scene would be boring !
     your mag contains some good ideas
     like e.g. the girl-hints . further
     i like the outfit .
     but ... your english is not on a
     very high or even acceptable level.
     try also to improve the news !
     news are the most important things
     for me in a diskmag.

     the best mag ever is surely MAMBA.
     also the old MAGIC-NEWS were great!
     then follows COOCOC in my charts !


 wn: which group was the best cracking
     group ever ?

  ?: ikari , elite , 711 , dcs


 wn: who is the most famous dude ever ?

  ?: tri-dos , conan , mr.lee , strider


 wn: wanna say somethng to our readers ?

  ?: try all to keep the c-64 strong !
     it is in our hands if the c-64
     dies or not !

     further i wanna greet some of my
     friends like :

     bod+dave/talent
     felix+smasher/crazy
     bob+crt/censor
     awesome/lotus
     scorp/ruthless
     pat/the cfa
     vincent/wow
     skywolf/crusade
     gerwin/fairlight
     norman anhut + markus wiederstein
     markus funk , cosi + chrigu b.


 wn: what your future plans ?

  ?: i wanna get lucky in my live !!!
     if i die one day i wanna be able
     to say that i reached my personal
     aimes like :
        - finding a wife who understands
          me and who takes me for what
          i am
        - getting a job i really like
        - to die without being ill
          seriously .....

     on the c-64:
     first i'm going to visit venlo in
     february 1991.
     my dream is to be once in the same
     group with conan. perhaps one day
     it might be possible.


 wn: who is the best young talent in the
     scene?

  ?: for me , it's dave/talent !
     i've learnt him coding on the c-64
     some months ago !
     meanwhile he is much better than i
     and is also able to code new rou-
     tines and to make some high-quality
     cracks !


 wn: what do you think about wars ?

  ?: fucking boring , but in certain
     cases it's necessary.


 wn: do you have any enemies ?

  ?: yes !
     some guys in switzerland , but they
     are not worth to mention .
     i think they are all only jealous.


 wn: are you a party tiger ?

  ?: if there is any party not too far
     away from switzerland i'll be there
     but unfortunately the coolest
     parties are in scandinavia !


 wn: what do you think about the golf -
     conflict ?

  ?: it shocks me when i think that a
     few 100'000 people have to die for
     nonsens !
     hussein is a fool ! but he succeeds
     anyway in convincing his voters.


 wn: had you ever problems with da cops?

  ?: no , i never had real trubles with
     them !
     once a little problem with the
     french police 'coz of soft-drugs!
     but that was nothing. in my opinion
     it has been necessary for years now
     to legalise all kinds of soft-drugs
     simply 'coz the aren't dangerous
     to get addicted to.


 wn: thanks a lot for the interview

----------------------------------------

           and the next with:

HANNES SOMMER (MC SPRITE)/COSMOS DESIGNS


 wn = WORLD NEWS
  h = HANNES


wn: hi HANNES !
    gimme some personal facts about you!

 h: hmmm, 1.87 tall, 74 kg, 17 years !
    dark rather long hair, blue eyes !
    (eg.i think the face-piccy in
    COSMAIL show you, isn't it ?)

wn: when did you start coding, which was
    your first group and what's the
    whole memeberstatus ?

 h: my first real group was COSMOS
    (before that i lamed around two
    years !). later as COSMOS died,
    ARNY, and i found COSMOS DESIGNS.
    we turned legal, making games+demos.
    at the TAT-party '89 we met PANTHER.
    he joined us as coder and graphican.
    since may '90 my brother (MC LORD)
    worx for us as a musican, doing all
    sounds for games+demos (instead of
    VIBRANTS, who made their job till
    then very good!). now we're actually
    4 members !

wn: tell us some computer-favourites
    (cracking-demo groups,...)

 h: i think EXTASY,LEGEND,DOMINATORS and
    IKARI + TALENT are the elite in
    cracking. in my eyes ATT is the best
    single cracker. i also know SNACKY
    personally and he seems to be also
    pro.
    the demo world is growing and i
    guess a big bunch of AVERAGE groups
    are in the charts while some new
    BETTER groups never get the chance
    to enter.

wn: what do you think about mags,
    especially our mag ?

 h: my favourite mag is MAMBA !
    i also like to read WORLD NEWS -
    keep it.(eg. be sure i'll do it!)

wn: what your future plans ?
    (some new CD demos in near future ?)

 h: hmm, probably there's coming our
    last demo in april (HORIZON-EASTER-
    PARTY): but wait for games like
    - SQUARE-OUT
    - BALL FEVER
    - PLURAL
    - LIONS OF THE UNIVERSE
    - WINGER PROBE
    - and PANTHER'S game

wn: at last what your best friend in
    scene, exept PANTHER/CD.

 h: the question has to look like:...
    except ARNY,PHANTER,MC LORD,JCH,
    HERMES,ATT,...
    i think my '2nd best friend' is:
    GEORG BOSHY/ABARY,SNACKY/G*P,GBF/
    CREST,AYATOLLAH/TAT,THE VOICE CREW,
    GOTCHA/CRAZY,DRAX/VIB,REDSTAR/LOGIC.
    ...

wn: thanx for this little talk! stay
    cool !

 h: i've to thank you !

   well you've reached the end of the
 interview chapters enjoy now the other
         chapters in this mag !
