PLEASE WAIT WHILE LOADING!!
PLEASE WAIT WHILE LOADING!!
ST= Stirf he is the interviewer
TW= Tonuwa RTD Wotnau he is
interviewed.
ST: Hello! Please state your name, date
of birth, occupation and your
computer handle.
TW: Hi Stirf and hello to all your
readers. My real name is XXX XXXXX.
I was born on 18. 2. 1976 (for those
who dislike maths - I am 20 years
young). I live in Prague, The
capital of The Czech Republic. In
my eyes it is the most beautiful
city in the most beautiful country
on the earth! And my handle? Ok,
I'LL introduce myself... Hi, I am
Tonuwa Rainbee Turret Draygon Wotnau
Hey, what's the matter with you,
mate?
ST: Ugh, Do you have any short for it?
TW: Most of people call me Tonuwa and I
usually sign my letters Tonuwa RTD
Wotnau.
ST: Ah, that's better... Your handle is
quite extraordinary. How did you
come to use it?
TW: It's a long story. That nick is
quite old. Ever seen any text
adventure? There you can always see
something like "Tell me what to do"
or "what now?". I am a T.A.-Lover so
I founded a group of people who
loved this type of games. I called
it what now? And I gave myself the
same name - Wotnau. Later I found it
sounding a bit stupid so I decided
to change it to Tonuwa so that it
would still carry the original. You
can also take it as a bit modified
phonetic spelling of "to no way" or
"the new way". You can choose what
you can choose what you want... So
it became Tonuwa Wotnau. The rest of
my handle is my secret so
(surprisingly) I won't tell you!
ST: If it's a secret... then don't tell,
secretive person! Since when do you
own a C-64? I hope it's not another
secret, eh!?:
TW: Of course it isn't! I got my first
C-64 in 1990 and a drive one year
later. I sold it when entering my
university (1994) but later I
missed it so much that I bought a
new one half a year later and I am
not going to give it away any more..
ST: What group(s) are you in and what is
/are your group job(s)?:
TW: I am the main archivist and... Let's
say the organizer of slaves of sid
(s.o.s.) and my second group is
studio style (S2).
ST: Could you please say something about
the groups,you are in (since when
they exist, teammates etc.)?:
TW: I founded S.O.S. three quarters of a
year ago as a group of sid-music
fans who are doing their best to
save the treasures of SID art for
the future. Music collections are
spread badly, although sometimes
they are real masterpieces! It took
me half a year to get a decent,
version of Mad Noises/Atlantis, one
of the very best ones!!! Musician's
works deserve higher apprecciation!!
So we in S.O.S. decided to create an
archive of music collies. Anybody
can ask us for any stuff we keep and
anybody can supply us music collies.
We never erase so if you were a ,
musician and send your coll. to us,
you could be sure that it won't be
forgotten!!
Next to this archiving job we are
planning some nice own releases of
compilations of old classics. The
first one will be called Trance Of
Trenz and it should contain all msx
from games that have anyting to do
with the master himself - Manfred
Trenz.
I run S.O.S. together with Mc Valach
of React (real wizard of relocating)
and my favourite musician - Orcan
(/react, too). Both have S.O.S. as
their second group. Hi pals!!!
ST: For how long have you been a part of
the C64 scene?
TW: Depends on what you call the scene.
I've been a groupie for a year or so
but I was wandering around much
earlier.
ST: What is "The Scene" in your opinion
then?
TW: I would like to see the scene as a
staying-together community of
friends who are active anyhow on
this Dream-Machine. The "Scene" in
its usual meaning consists mostly of
arrogant guys whose only interest
are votes and charts. The only rule
is the "Law of the Jungle",- eat or
be eaten. Not the better ones, the
more treacherous and more dishonest
ones win and what rules is the
arrogance.
ST: You also have some comments on whole
the cracking business. Please
explain:
TW: On what business??? Real cracking is
dead for several years!!! But if you
mean trainer-installing, then yes, I
have some comments! I wonder how
groups like Avantgarde or (in close
past) motiv 8 and such groups can
lead the cracking charts! some time
ago I heard a guy from Motiv 8
replying to question what is Motiv 8
something like: "We had X% (it was
25 or 30, I don't remember) of first
releases last year and you don't
know us?" ok, x% of firsties but
which firsties? Dozens of previews
of never finished games and one-file
pseudological pieces! And when they
crack a good game by mistake it
usually bugs - higher levels don't
work, the game sticks when trainers
are not slected etc.
Giving points for +es. My God! What
about "set colour sprite X (Y/N)"???
Points for chrunching... They make
the game 10 blocks shorter - ok. But
what is the price? Snail-loader,
endless decrunching of each level...
And if one tries to change
something, to care about quality
instead of quantity, those self-
established "elite" groups kill him.
Like they did to the Airwolf Team of
the 1. 8. 1988.
You know... I thought games were
here to play them... Seems that I
was wrong.
Shortly: 1st-release-mania suxx!!!
To protect my friends I have to
say that it is my personal opinion,
not a group-philosophy!!!
ST: What would you like to see changed
in today's scene (/into what)?:
TW: 1st release mania to first class
mania. Arrogance and Jungle-fight
into real competition. Slags and
other killing techniques into
respecting people with different
opinions as equal opponents. Simply
we should realize that we are here
for the scene, NOT THE SCENE FOR US!
ST: Is the Czech Republic, your
homecountry, a real scene-country?
I mean are there many people that
are active?:
TW: I know about three groups with HQ
in the Czech Rep., including S.O.S.
it's not much but did you know that
Walkerz'95 were coded by Czech guys
from New Entry? But all in all the
Czech scene is not hyperactive. What
a pity! There are thousands of
people with C-64 who only play...
ST: Here I will give you some room to
write what you have done on the
commie in the past years:
TW: Completed a lot of cool games, haha.
Well... I regret entering the scene
So late (at the age of 19). In last
months I founded S.O.S., composed
several tunes, relocated some old
classics to standard $1000,$1003 and
sid music. Nowadays I am preparing
two mags. one of them as the main
editor, and Trance of Trenz
(mentioned before) and am coding
routines for my noter. Next to it I
swap music stuff for S.O.S. archive.
PARTY TIME
PARTY TIME
ST: Know any good jokes?:
TW: A LOT!!! A red indian was walking
through the desert when he saw his
friend lying on the ground, his ear
on the ground.
His friend: A big stage coach ran
over here two hours ago!
Red indian: You are amazing! You lie
on the ground with your ear on the
ground and you know that a big stage
coach ran over here two hours ago!!!
Tell me, how do you know???
His friend: It ran over my head. 8-)
"Waiter, waiter there's a wasp in my
soup!!!" I'm sorry, sir, We have run
out of flies!

To the rest: Try to be yourselve
and not to go with the masses!!!
I would like to greet my best
friend. He knows who he is. And also
