GOT YOU BY THE NOOSE
corruption 14 october 1992 ---------------------------------------- * GOT YOU BY THE NOOSE * ---------------------------------------- this time we annoyed PUDWERX of ILLUSION with our questions. they were posed by jack daniels ---------------------------------------- ?: hi jason, please give us some infor- mation about the person behind the handle. !: i'm just a regular sorta guy. 75 kg, 183 cm, dark brown (short) hair, mustache, sideburns (what did deff call them?!?), and all the usual guy-parts in working order (thus my handle...) i am 31 years old, have 3 cats, and of course, a lovely wife - christina. ?: you've got a very interesting job, and only very few people can afford to do it as a primary job. tell us some- thing about it... !: about my job... yes, it is true that it is a bit unusual that one can make a decent living doing it as one's primary job. but, i am very fortunate to have done so. i play keyboards (synthesizers) in a dance band full-time. i have been doing this for almost 13 years now, and there's no other 'job' that compares to it. i mean, in what other job can you get dressed up, get on a stage, play music real loud, drink all the beer you want, have pretty girls dancing in front of you all night long, and then --- they pay you for it !!! ?: what do you do in your spare time? !: in my spare time, i do mostly computer-related activities. i started disk swapping a couple years before i got into the scene, but after i got my first modem, i was hooked !!! ?: the usual question, which three things would you take with you onto a lonely island? (no, not our euro hq..) !: the three things i'd take to a lonely island? that's easy: cindy crawford, paulina porizkova, and a big can of whipped cream !!! (ed.: and what about your lovely wife?) ?: if you could be a person of your own choice for just one day, who would you to switch bodies with and why? !: hmm... very good question... i've pondered your question here for quite some time now, and i have no fucking idea who else i'd want to be !!!!! generally, i find it challenging enough to be myself, let alone try to be someone else. ?: you are a time-traveller and have the chance to visit any historical event you want, what would it be? !: if i had a time machine, i'd really rather go forward in time (and according to einstein, that is the only direction in time one can go), but your question asked about a historical event, so... i think i would be most interested to visit the ancient incan or mayan empires just to see precisely how advancced their civilizations had become. unfortunately, the spaniards destroyed them, and their entire cultures ceased to exist. i truly think that the human race would be far more advanced than it is today had they been allowed to continue to exist and evolve. (how's that for a thought-provoking answer? do i win a prize now ?!?!?) (ed.: yeah, a bottle of pudweiser!) ?: is there any person around in this world, you would really like to meet? !: there's not just one single person in particular that i'd like to meet. however, i'd really look forward to meeting face-to-face many of my friends whom i've met through the computer scene. i have a lot of very good friends who, while i've never seen them before, would be most welcomed into my home. ?: in general, what makes you happy or angry? !: in general, polite/courteous people make me happy, and rude/thoughtless people piss me right off... pretty simple, huh? ?: how did you get involved into the scene and how does your "career" look like? !: i got into the modem/cracking 'scene' in 1987. as i mentioned, i was only doing disk-swapping until i got my modem. then i discovered all the cracked games one could amass just by making a phone call, and i was hooked from then on! i got involved with a couple of local-lamer friends and we put together my very first 'cracking group' named: 'a.o.k.' - or, american organization of krackers ... and it sucked pretty bad! i didn't know shit about cracking. i had never heard of a char-packer. i had no idea how to make an intro. and i didn't even know what the concept of ntsc-fixing was about... how's that for a humble beginning?!? quite luckily, there was another bbs in town that seemed to get all the latest games fast - it was 'the lighthouse'. so i started calling it, and ripping it off by uploading junk files, and then downloading all the cool 'real' wares! it turned out that 'the lighthouse' was in fact the headquarter bbs for 'atc', and 'cheap shot' was its sysop. once i realized how lame i was acting, i spoke to him, and told him that 'i might just be able to help atc crack games'. i didn't know that i could, but i thought i'd give it a try. 'atc' had just lost its previous cracker, and so the job was mine. i had never been 'taught' how to crack by anyone, but the lessons i learned in college programming classes helped a lot. i knew ml, and could fumble my way through much of the coding that existed at that time. well, the rest is history... after much trial-and-error (and error, and error) i got a very good under- standing of how to crack games. i owe a large part of my success to cheap shot for providing me with many, many originals to 'practice' my cracking skils on... to anyone interested in breaking onto the scene, all i recommend is: practice, practice, practice... and don't bother going public until you truly know what you're doing! (if i had done so, i would be known as 'that lame-ass cracker from that grroup a.o.k.'...) ?: how do you feel, when you have to realise that you cannot fix a certain game? !: it feels quite frustrating when i begin to consider that a game simply might not be possible to run in its entirety on ntsc. first of all, at that point, i would have spent (or possibly wasted) many hours trying to fix such a game. then i must consider the possibility that it might work 100% if entire section(s) of code a re-written in a more time-efficient fashion. that sucks for sure, because i've re-written many routines in a faster way, only to find that it still takes too much time on ntsc... finally, as a last resort, i must consider removing one or more routines altogether to gain the needed time. normally, i hate to do this, because most of the routines are quite necessary to a preserve the game's playability as it was intended by the author. removing the music entirely, or removing an entire set of 'enemy sprite' routines is definitely out of the question!!! it renders the game not at all as it was intended. on such games, i'd rather not put it out on ntsc at all. that simply is not 'fixing'; i'd characterize that more as 'butchering'... ?: how does it feel to live so far away from where things happen? i mean, how is it for an american to be in the scene? !: that is simply an inescapable fact of life here in america. i think i'd much prefer living in europe for this reason. everything there is much closer. you can actually get in your car and drive in one direction to another country; in another direction, to a completely different country. different money, different food, different people. what fun that would be! here, you get in your car, and drive, and drive , and drive, and you're still in the same fucking country!!! (unless, of course, you drive to canada... but who would want to do that? there, cigarettes cost $6.00 per pack! plus, they talk funny... eh?) ?: now tell us your favourites: best/worst group, best/worst phreaker best/worst ragger, best/worst board, best/worst mag, best/worst drink, best/worst person... !: are you kidding? who/what is the best/worst: group, phreaker, hacker, ragger, bbs, mag, book, movie, drink, person, car, truck, toilet paper, condom, drug, musical group, blue jeans, computer, country, cheese, wine, crispbread, typewriter, skier, animal trainer, astronaut, and god? that's simple: yes, all of the above. (except on the 3rd tuesday of each month that has a letter 'r' in it) ?: yeah, right! do a small comparison between ucbbs and c-base. !: a small comparison between ucbbs and c-base: c-base has a minus sign (-) in its name, and a backdoor. ucbbs does not... ?: okay then, when will ucbbs 1.4 be released? !: ucbbs v1.4 will be released on: decvobner y3277km129397u© tell your friends!!! ?: brainstorming... !: a) newsmaker - money, girls, beer b) michigan - boring c) george bush - president d) bill clinton - weenie e) rodney king - stupid, drug-addict f) illusion - the coolest (really!) g) the forum - fill the drive, clear the drive... fill the drive, clear the drive... h) the environment - what's that??? (american humor) ?: you may throw out some greets now... !: quick greets to all my friends (you know who you are!) ?: i don't like it, but it is usual that the interview partner has the last words... !: last word? this has been the most in-depth interview i have ever given. i hope you found these responses to be insightful and entertaining. (i hope i didn't use the word 'fuck' too much... you know, there could be young impressionable children reading this interview, and if they see the word 'fuck' over and over again, like: '.....fuck....and that was fucking great...but what the fuck.....oh, fuck yes.......well, fuck that fucking fucker' etc... well, they might get the wrong fucking idea... and i really don't want that... i really care about all these little fuckers, ya know!) ?: fuck yeah! (you see...) ----------------------------------------
LIVE COVERAGE
corruption 14 october 1992 ---------------------------------------- * LIVE COVERAGE * ---------------------------------------- ENERGY/COSMOS DESIGNS PARTY our steady reporter: antitrack/legend on thursday 3rd, 9.30 am, the train from graz started its way to gleisdorf, which is the small village that has been chosen as a party place. "why do they always choose small towns?" i asked myself. well, even the light/phenomena party took place in a small town, not to mention the ikari/zargon meeting in easter '89, remember? my thoughts were soon to be stopped because after just 30 minutes the train arrived and i started to walk to the party place. i arrived quite early - the party did just open - thus hardly any guys were present: some energy members and the reaper/legacy were actually the only guys besides me who were present on the early beginning of the party. the place itself was not so bad, it was the town's hall, or, should I say, the village's main hall. it is enough room for maybe 200 people but definitely not for the expected crowd of 500 people. the hall featured: a tiny bar with a lot of refreshment for sale, open all the day; two sleeping rooms; a very big screen and some real nervy LOUDspeakers which, as their name implies, poisoned the air with some really loud noise all day and night long.this turned out to be especially painful in the night when people actually just wanted to get a little bit of sleep! but i'll better keep some order and tell the whole story in chronological order. after me, the first c64 guys who arrived were sneaper/f4cg and mr.alpha/asg,later on airwolf/gp, aslive, dense/hys showed up. the sales in the tiny bar, by the way, did not go very well because a cheaper supermarket was just located five meters besides the party place! some more dudes arrived during the day, but otherwise, life was as boring as the text in a typical adventure game: "nothing happens". some guys who arrived in the afternoon were: laysoft/idiots, alex and painkiller/chromance, mr.spock and some more guys from t'pau, stax, charlie and andrea from varsity, ayatollah and alligator/tat, the sir (a legal coder, as any "64'er"-reader should know), megabyte/crest, black priest/cross and last but not least the voice! the journalists from the german "64'er" magazine did not show up at all, by the way. they promised to do so! suckers... still, not so many people actually! meanwhile it was friday already, and the partyplace was still very calm, except the bloody loudspeakers, that is! so i took a little trip to graz and back to the party place, then i decided to copy some amiga warez for me. on the main hall, there was a stage, and behind the stage there were the computers of the party organizers, where hannes sommer (mcsprite) showed quite many games,some of them which are not released yet,e.g. "cosmox". as i had nothing better to do i drank a lot of beer, bailey's (liquor) and other alcoholic drinks, then i went to the sleeping room and tried to sleep which was difficult coz of the loud- speakers, remember! when i woke up saturday morning i saw ayatollah/tat/flt running around in anger. as i asked him what was up he told me that his 1764-ram expansion was stolen! when i checked out my own bag later, i, too, noticed that some of the party dudes must have been quite experi- enced thieves because my own 512K ram expansion also was gone and never appeared again. i searched the party place for a long time but without any success. THIEVES! ON SUCH A SMALL PARTY! INCREDIBLE! as a consequence i'll never take any hardware to any party anymore! if some- one helps me to find the thief, i would also be very glad. my commodore 1764 ram expansion is quite easy to recognize: on the back of the ram expansion there is usually a sticker with the serial number. in my ram expansions' case there is an old cosmos sticker saying "antitrack". over the front of the expansion there is a white adhesive tape because it wouldn't close otherwise. inside, there are eight blue sockets with eight 41256a ram chips, 120 ns, which i installed myself. if anyone has suddenly seen this ram expansion around, i would be glad to get informed about that. my ram expansion means a lot to me, i cannot work at all without it, and it is nearly impossible to get another one. oh, by the way, despite the $20 entrance price the demo competition prizes were not paid, because the organizers of the party realized that their debts would heavily increase otherwise. as i was told by the energy guys later, cosmos designs didn't do anything for the party organisation except that they "borrowed their name for the party" (quote from stranger/energy). maybe they really should have also participa- ted in the organisation, shouldn't you, hannes??? to sum up: nice: * big screen, * enough sleeping rooms, * a few cool dudes * lots of refreshment on the bar * supermarket very near not so nice: * high entrance (dm 29) * thieves !!!! * too few people, mainly Austrians, * loud loudspeakers (and when i with my bad ears say "it's loud!!" then it really is very loud!) * bar: nice but partially expensive the organizers of the party did their best, especially stranger/energy, but if there are mainly the wrong sort of people there, it doesn't work! (oh, and stranger/energy told me that with the party, his debts increased by $2000... better luck next time, dude!!) rating: not soooo bad...for a local meeting!!!!! 43 % (out of 100%) by the way... if you have any ideas who the thieves were, or if you simply want to swap wares on c64/ibm pc/amiga/vhs (yes it's correct! i just got an a500!) write to: antitrack/legend X.X.XXX XX X-XXXX XXXX XXXXXXX i am off this lame report says att! ---------------------------------------- ECTS SHOW 1992 reporter : richie of illusion september had finally come and every one in then computer scene knows it's around that time the pcw show, no, i mean the ecs show, no it's been changed again,the e.c.t.s show comes to england. usually this is very well advertised but i found out the date from a belgian, and just the same as last year it's TRADE ONLY. i called bod/talent up the night before to see if he had any free tickets other- wise i was seriously doubting the event but he did so i agreed to meet him out- side at noon. i arrived with my girl- friend, found BOD + XXX of talent, SOLAR SCORPIE and WIM of f4cg and JUST ICE waiting in the recpetion. i got my tickets and went inside. there was one new release called SLICKS by codemasters which was stolen by bod and xxx, blocked by me and the representitive kept talking by solar and scorpie. in fact it seems codemasters were the only company that showed any interest in the 64, companies like ocean and us gold who usually hold massive stalls weren't there. all we did after that was walked round the complex in which we saw AJ and someone else of trc. we tried to get a deal off a company for wim's newest game which looked pretty nice, solar got a lot of adresses,who is wim's senior advisor. by this time about an hour and a half had passed and bod had scratched his chin and played with his hair about 100 times. we got hungry so we went down to mcdonalds, ate, went back, had a BEER with bod and solar. by that time we had all nearly gone crazy with BOREDOM!(it was nearly three hours!) so we decided to call it a day. solar called a taxi (me) and we all said farewell, i dropped solar,scorpie and wim back at their hotel. and that was it i'd still like to thank the europeans that did manage the short ferry trip to england as otherwise i could have been walking around all by myself. lets hope all the guys who have promised to make it to belgium at CHRISTMAS will be there and let's hope the PARTY is arranged because i'll see you there! ---------------------------------------- well, we received a reaction to our special edition of corruption, from the author of the article, we published in there... "dear corruption staff, when i saw your special edition re- printing my article, i thought that i really had to write in and correct you on a few points. you called me an 'outsider' to the scene. this is, in fact, untrue. i have been a member of entropy for all of the group's life (and before the name changed) and have, during that time, been the main-coder on the 64, as well as doing a little (but now more and more) swapping. the article that appeared in computer front wasn't actually written to appear in computer front, but for an english magazine called COMMODORE FORMAT, which carried the article 3 issues ago. (the current issue, number 26, has the game BOMBER on the covertape - which i coded.) (ed.: duuuuuuuuuuuh!) whether computer front is a whole or partial reprint of commodore format, i don't know. although i didn't give away who i am in the article (i'll explain why i did that in a moment) there were a few clues - the interview with whw design should have given one or two clues, for example, and the a-z of demo groups (which was originally a selective list embedded in the text, rather than a seperate box) i don't blame you for your mistake, because i don't give my real name out very much, if at all. and i tried not to give the impression in the article that i was trying to push entropy's work over other groups, to the point of not mentioning who i was. on reflection, perhaps i should have, but i think the article turned out fairly well as it was. i'd be interested in reading any comment about the article you receive - whether you print any is up to you, but i hope i was pretty fair to the scene, and i did try to do my best. on the other hand, however, the article wasn't written for scenefreax, and as such, your mistaking the writer for a non-scener seems to have shown that i managed to remain pretty impartial, i hope..." SIMON COLLIS ---------------------------------------- ED.: we couldn't know that you are involved into the scene, as there was no allusion to it in your essay it was just our opinion that the article was interesting and that's why we published it. the main reason why me reprinted it, was because it was not written for scene-guys, as you already mentioned. that gives it an other perspective for the scene-readers. ----------------------------------------
CHAMPIONS
corruption 14 october 1992 ---------------------------------------- * CHAMPIONS * ---------------------------------------- the HELGE for the best crack goes to: DOC AND FLETCH OF LEGEND so why did we chose this one? simply read on and you'll know why! this time we let somebody else write about it and it really is someone who knows what he is talking about, named... ANTITRACK/LEGEND well, i have forseen that something like that is possible, but as the first cartridge games (e.g. shadow of the beast) did not use this technique, i guessed they'd never really do that,but i was wrong. what is it about? the trick is, that when you have plugged in a cartridge, you have actually more memory available than "just" 64k, you can have 8 or even 16 k extra, at the same time. the trick is: the program first fills the complete ram memory with important program code and data, and then, the program code in the ram not only needs the data (sprites, graphics etc.) from the (overfilled) ram but also partially from the rom! or/and, the program in the ram does some bank switching and sudden- ly makes use of a e.g. subroutine in the rom. toki is doing both of these tricks. the cracker now has to cope with the fact that he cannot place the extra rom data/code anywhere and thus the game becomes more and more uncrackable the more important the rom data is for the game and the less ram space is to put the rom shit anywhere. in toki's case, however, there was a large piece of ram memory occupied with a music which can easily be left out without affecting the rest of the game. the free ram now was used for the rom code and data, which was mainly the monkey main sprite and animation. sounds easy? it is definitely not! all rom code had to be moved/rewritten, all rom data had to be adapted to ram, as well etc., so it was definitely a horrible bunch of work, a bunch of work that is almost not worth the average game. but doc+fletch did it, so all congratulations from me to them. some of you probably still can't imagine how much work that was, but i sure know it. i myself got stucked when I reassembled all important rom code and when i ended up with a 2300-lines source code, which still bugged heavily. it was also not very easy for doc and fletch: as far as i know they worked three weeks on that one. it is still a little miracle to me that the crack works so well. that's all i can say. antitrack/legend ---------------------------------------- the SUPER-HELGE for the most stupid note goes to: TANIS OF NIRVANA taken from a note called "tanis is dead" "this is tanis of nirvana for a last time on yer screen! yeah, you read right! it is sad, but true! I AM 100% DEAD! this is no joke! i am dead." rest in peace, tanis. but it takes me wonder how a dead person can write notes zombie attack?! ----------------------------------------

I got out of the wares scene and collected text files. 7/1/91 i moved back home to the SAN FRANCISCO bay area and the bbs started to go more toward the wares scene again. groups ------ i never joined a group until 1991. i had contacts over the years with the bandit jr., sauron, eaglesoft inc., mutant-x (a hic user since 1984), elite circle, headbanger, psycho smurf, many others. they come and go. in order to boost the bbs i joined garden of eden in 1991. it failed. in 1992 Moloch took the advice of DESTINY/ARMAGEDDON (local to me) and took on my bbs as hq. rough, bod, and others called regularly. last may some guy called "radar/arcade" logged in asking me to take on arcade support. i was sceptical and almost deleted him. but, his wit, charm, and english accent won me over and i joined ARCADE and have done my best for them ever since. current setup ------------- 64 running at 4.09 mhz. 1541-II for unzipping arc+emp releases cmd 100 mb hard drive 212 mb scsi drive for more room 9600 v.32 modem at 2400 (until plum or someone manages to hack 9600 routines) c*base 3.1 lightly modded by cyborg/dom (i hate the d00Dz!!! bullshit.) i have almost 1/2 my text files online now. not a thousand yet, however. i have hundreds of old commie wares online, and more whenever i get time. (1983-present) of course, we have all the best support for anarchists and government-haters everywhere. (greets to majesty) - anarchy - action - agora - ---------------------------------------- THE TEST by jack daniels/dom +++++ : great ++++ : good +++ : average ++ : forget about it + : lame ---------------------------------------- SUBS: ++++ the board has five public subs. some of the sub-names reflect the sysop's attitude. they are called : 1) anti-social-interaction 2) the soap box 3) warez + requests 4) radars favourites 5) hack & phreak the board gets quite a lot of new posts per day and there is always a nice discussion going on. the reason for reducing the amount of points to 4 is that they were not able to avoid that people post something in the wrong sub so far. probably because the board is run by an anarchist? j/k dave... WARES: +++++ the wares section is distinguished into 52 directories. the first drive includes the 0-3 wares and after 3 days (+/-) the wares will be seperated in alphabetical order. there are 26 directories for all the letters a program can start with. there is a hell lot of oldies, so this turns out to a perfect board for someone who is into collecting wares. moreover it has several drives for text- files, as dave already mentioned in the introduction. it contains lots of files about e.g. poetry, humor, current events h/p and so on. in addition to that it has drives for pd games, requests, tools ect. STAFF: +++++ the sysop participates a lot in the discussions going on, which isn't too often these days. the staff takes care of applications and wishes from users quite fast. USERS: ++++ it has 81 users and most of the "elites" are calling there. but some more users would be nice. it gets apx. 40 calls and 50 posts per day. GRAPHICS/MODIFICATIONS: +++ the graphics, which were made by several guys over the years (e.g. guppie,over- lord), are quite decent. there aren't too many mods, but the few ones were done by pol pot and cyborg/dom. the bbs has 12 games online for the users to play. especially empire attracts the callers attention. especially the wares section make this board worth (at least) a call. ----------------------------------------

(i.e. bod, d'ram, majesty, psychobilly, rebel and tyree). anyway, the next thing i thought about was how many euros who still are 1200 and of course compared to the amount of americans... well, ONLY 63% of the euros use a 2400 baud modem, while 95.5% of the yankees have one. this is probably a result of the price being way lower in the us, but the percentage still surprised me quite a lot! the next time the dollar is low, i suggest the 37% 1200 euros order a 2400 from the states, damn, they are almost for free now! finally i wanted to take a look at the percentage of europeans vs americans on the boards.. i actually discovered that 74% of the users are euros while only 26% are americans (out of that 31.8% are canadians and 68.2% are citizens of the united states). that's about it for this issue. i'll conclude my article by writing the handles of the people in the survey (in no order): bod, burglar, aggressor, action jackson, communist, deff, d'ram, eddie, drake, freestyle, guppie, hi-lite, fen1, ice mc, jihad, jrc, maniac, majesty, new Sensation, parson, psychobilly, lexi, rebel, sting, scat, tyree, booze, antichrist, arrogance, blacksilver, cba, chamelon, cosmo, cruncher, cyrion, effy, dogfriend, darklord, dr.disk, chrysagon, elvin, extremist, fist, frankenstein, exulans, chipster, hero, jack daniels, janec, grim reaper, horizon, king, twc, kreator, kid nice, max mix, lazyness, newscopy, massive onslaught, moren, nme, master kracker, pol pot, pushead, tdo, powerplant, prodigy, pudwerx, richie, prime eveal, nightwriter, ratman, rich, rockstar, radar, starkiller, secret man, ninja, skater, sauron, sorceress, solar, sodapop, tricket, tronic, weasel, zahran fastfire and myself, gene. for some people this might have been pretty boring, but i take it some people think it was somewhat informative and interesting as well, so i'd say it served its purpose.. you cannot please'em all, can you? GENE says goodnight and maybe, just maybe you'll see another guest-article from me here in the future!???...
