Mamba 16 ch04 The Interviews

 here we present to you an interview
 with stealth/tsm! m=mamba. t=stealth

 m:hi tom, tell us a little about
   yourself?

 t:well i'm 19, 5ft 10 and weigh about
   140 pounds. i have brown eyes and
   black hair.

 m:how long have you been in the scene
   and how did your career begin?

 t:around about 1988 i started in a
   group called aab with longshot/abyss
   about 1 year later i joined a group
   with instigist called image. in
 t:june '90 i joined tsm. that's where
   i am today.

 m:what is your job in tsm?

 t:my main job is fixing games but i
   also do little but of coding & some
   cracking when i have some time.

 m:how long have you been coding and
   fixing?

 t:i've been coding since 1988 but did
   not release hardly any demos. i
   started fixing about a year later.

 m:can you tell me where your handle
 m:came from?

 t:i took stealth because of it's
   definition.

 m:what do you think about the scene
   today?

 t:i like the demo scene more nowadays
   because there are more coders out
   there. when someone new comes along
   there are always people around to
   help. when i started everybody was
   on there own. but the warez scene i
   think is really slowing down. there
   are to many people fighting over the
   few games we do get.

   on the 64?

 t:i don't regret it, it's fun and i
   have learned a lot and made a lot of

      yourself !

  > : yohoo! my name is mario, i'm half
      italian and half german, i'm 18
      years old and i live in a lame
      town called hennef in west(!)-
      germany. i still go to business-
      school and beside this i'm doing
      my civil-service.(fuck the army!)
      i don't believe in god and i hate
      fascism.

  m : what's about your computer
      career ?


  > : well, i got my first c64 back in
      1985. the first real group i was
      in was powerrun (grmpff!). later
      on i got asked to join a new
      group called 'huge' and so i did.
      but after some days i got pissed
      off this group and formed my own
      one called alabama. on the 16th
      of june 1989 i was asked to join
      crazy where i remained one year
      and 7 months. on the 2nd of jan.
      i finally joined illusion.

  m : what's your job in illusion ?



  > : i'm the main swapper in illusion,
      and i do some work for mamba and
      shock. i also have a modem
      (hopefully it'll be repaired very
      soon!). besides i do some
      phreaking.

  m : did you ever have troubles with
      the cops ?

  > : geez, i got busted for three(!)
      times by now, but nothing
      serious happened. once i also got
      busted for stamp-cheating.



  m : do you have a girl-friend ?

  > : certainly i do have a girlfriend,
      her lovely name is beate. up to
      now we're together for 15 months.
      i really love her and i want to
      marry her some day.

  m : describe a lamer !

      lame disc-mag!


  m : did you ever regret computing ?

  > : yes! each time i got busted by
      the cops!

  m : what's your opinion about the
      scene in general ?

  > : if you don't give a shit about
      the lamers and the childish wars
      then it's ok! i would rather like
      to see some guys selling their
      computers! one thing that makes
      no sense to me are all the sub-
      groups like wicked, spalters,


      gkg, bad taste etc... why the
      hell do they release these
      below-budget games ? nobody wants
      them!

      sogot! dee-lite with 'groove is
