From C64 Diskmag Wiki
+ skyhigh
- PUSSYMASTER/TRINOMIC BOOZELINE
+ handle & group?
- i'm pussymaster of trinomic boozeline.
+ real name?
- my real name is matthias alpmann.
+ give us a small introduction of
yourself! (age, country, personal
facts, sparetime, other interests
and so on)
- well, i'm living in germany in a small
village called 'verne' with about 2500
inhabitants. the next bigger town
nearby verne is called paderborn (with
over 100.000 inhabitants) and from
paderborn it takes 90 km to dortmund,
which should be known by the non-
german readers aswell.
you can say that i belong to the
seniors in the scene as i celebrated
on the 06.11.92 my 20th birthday
(hehe, no teeny anymore!).
on the 3rd of august '92 i started a
apprenticeship as a businessman and it
is a quite nice job. in 1992 i worked
in the construction department. now
i'm in the forwarding department.
ok, but now back to me. you can really
call me a sportsman as i usually go
jogging twice a week (between 15 and
25 km). i took already part in two
races. the first one was on a local
festival called 'martini' and i
reserved the 13th place out of 75
dudes. my second race was a really
cool one. i took part in the biggest
new-years-eve race in europe from
werl to soest (germany). there were
over 3000 dudes and i got a place
between 350 and 400 - i just can't
remember it at the moment. furthermore
i play volleyball in a team and we're
quit good (we play in the 'bezirks-
klasse'). in my freetime i also play
a bit table tennis and i go swimming.
on weekend you can usually meet me on
some local partys having a beer (or
two or three). but sometimes i'm busy
on the computer at weekends as well
[of course with some cold beer... what
did you expect?]
[hope there is enough memory left
after this small introduction...]
+ yeah that really was short eh! (ed!)
+ well how did it all start?
- it all started about 20 1/2 years ago
when my father and my mother......
but i think this isn't what you wanted
to hear... hehe!!! ok, i got my
computer on christmas 1986 and at that
time i didn't know anything about
computers. i also got one game
(international soccer) on christmas
that year together with two books
about computers. nobody in my village
had a c64 at that time and so i had
to learn all by testing... one and a
half year passed and then i started
to code in assembler... it was very
hard! but after buying a special book
about coding in assembler i learned
fast. i coded one game in 1988 but
i never spreaded it. i only showed it
to some local friends. i coded some
adventures but i never finished one...
+ when did you enter the scene, and in
which groups have ya been?
- well, in entered the scene in 1989.
i was on a party and talked with some
guys about computers. i was looking
for a c64 conversation of tetris
[at that time i played it on pc].
somebody asked a dude from another
village i don't know. later that
evening he told us that he was tlt of
escape. that was my first contact with
the scene. after this party we meet
us more often and he soon noticed that
i can code. some time passed and then
we deceided to found an own crew.
more time passed and groups. now i'm
in trinomic boozeline.
+ what is your memberstatus and job in
your current group ?
- members of trinomic boozeline are:
pussymaster: leader, code, genetic

tell us about your faves!
-------------------------
+ favourite food?
- well, my favourite dish is cordon bleu
with rice and vegetables (e. g. salat)
+ favourite drink(s)?
- usually i drink milk or tea, but on
weekends it's beer (krombacher of
course!).
+ favourite music?
well, usually i listen to all kind of
heavy metal and punk, but sometimes
i also listen to pop-music.
+ favourite girl(s)?
- well, what do you mean with favourite
girl? if you mean famous girls/women
then i must admit that they don't
belong to my favourite girls because
i only know them only from film or tv.
furthermore i must admit that i don't
have a girlfriend. but i don't care
about this at the moment because i'm
sure that someday a girl will say to
me: "what about just you and me, next
saturday, candlelit dinner and all
that..." or something like "i think
you are about the most beautiful man
i have ever laid eyes on." hehehe!
well, let's see...
+ favourite movie?
- well, i like all kinds of action- and
western-films. films that i remember
at the moment are: running man, die
harder, highlander, ...
+ favourite demo?
- well, there are a lot of demos i like.
these demos are well styled ones.
demos with new records mostly look
boring (e. g. on the top of the
screen is a logo and below the logo
is the effect and at the bottom a
1x1 scroller). another thing are the
ideas, new ideas will always get more
attention... and: i like some old
demos just because of the ideas they
had. i hope that the future will bring
a lot of new well styled demos.
but uou asked for a name(s).
cool demos are: cosmail (by cosmos
designs and blackmail), dutch breeze
(blackmail), tour de force (origo
dreamline), eldorado (origo dreamline)
road of excess (triangle), handjob
lotion (contex), and more!
+ favourite mag?
- well, to be honest: there is in my
opinion only one ruling magazine in
the scene: script (by clique). ok,
some other magazines started to write
about none-computer topics as well...
but other magazines followed and so
script got some serious competitors.
shock isn't a bad magazine either, but
it's dedicated for modemtraders and
people who know something about the
us-scene. nothing of interest for me..
+ favourite game?
- adventures from lucasfilm or infocom
are reallu cool games. maniac mansion
and zak mckraken for example are
really cool ones, furthermore i played
monkey island on amiga and pc, and
this one is a coolie as well.
but i like other games as well.
creatures 2 for example is a fucking
cool game.
+ and last:
favourite friend(s) in the scene
- well, as i don't want to hurt someone,
i will list all my friends later on...
+ well that was the faves, and among 'em
was favourite friends.
what about dudes you hate/dislike in
the scene. ?
if you got some please tell us who -
and why you don't like them !
- i hate no one in the scene, but there
are some dudes i don't like. some
dudes like to make telephone terror in
the nights and others spread fucking
lies about me saying that i'm a nazi.
but i don't mind about that. it seems
that the enjoy it....
+ what is your plans for the future?
both in the scene and in private!
-
well, of course i will continue my
computer activities in future. but
later on i will change my system, but
that will take some time from now on.
than i will buy a pc and i will start
coding on that machine - of course in
assembler. maybe i will write some
games then and sell them to a company.
but that will take time...
and private: i will do my apprentice-
ship as a businessman and i hope that
the firm will take me after it.
furthermore i will try to play better
volleyball and to be better in
running. i hope that i will be soon
able to run 10km in under 40 minutes.
this would mean that i will get a
place in the 'hiscore-list' of our
circle.
+ when the c64 dies (hopefylly many
years from now!!!!) what will you do
then? jump to the (l)amiga or pc?
or simply quit the whole compy-scene?
- as i said before, i will never stop
computing. then the c64 scene dies,
i will join the pc-scene. the pc is
the future. maybe you've heard
something about open systems or
multimedia. this things are the
future! but if the c64 scene will die
i will keep my c64 because it is at
that time for sure a legend.
+ please tell me what a lamer is in your
opinion?
- in my eyes a lamer is someone who says
to others that they are lame.
people use the word 'lame' or 'lamer'
in many different ways and in almost
every case it is the wrong word.
i can remember that someone said:
i contacted 'xxx' and he didn't wrote
back. he's a lamer. all people who
wrote something like this are totally
stupid. why? well, if 'xxx' wanted to
swapp with you he would have contacted
you! other people call you lamers for
being not that good in doing something
like they are. personally i don't like
this kind of people most. usually they
are as good (or as bad) as you.
+ what do you think about the 'elite
contra lame' thing? is there anything
we can do about it?
- well, first of all i must admit that
i'm no elite guy. i can't code like
the best coders, i can't draw logos
and compose at all and i'm not a
megaswapper. just a normal scener.
ok, maybe i'm more famous then other
guys, because many dudes know me as
the editor of genetic dreams (i hope
i don't have to pay for this little
advertisement...). it's up to the rest
of the scene to deceide if i'm (or any
other person) a elite guy or not.
by the way, some additional words to
the lamer describtion some questions
ago: i think that some of the sceners
call newcommers lamers just because
they don't know something of the scene
and can't do something (coding,
cracking, ...). newcommers are
important (because the scene might die
without them soon) and no lamers in my
eyes.
hmm, you asked me if we can do
something against it. well, just
ignore those dudes who pretend to be
elite though everybody knows that
they aren't elite. and help the
newcommers to become 'real' members
(dudes with knowledge of the scene)
of the scene.
+ about your contacts
-------------------
+ do ya have a lot of contacts?
(how many - name a few.)
- well, if you think that 50-60 contacts
are a lot then i have a lot of
contacts. as you will give me the
opportunity to greet some of my
contacts and/or friends later on, i
will do it there.
+ do you prefer legal stuff or cracks
or maybe both from your contacts.
- well, as i'm a german i can't say
that i'm trading with illegal stuff
just because the police would visit me
then... but there are a lot of low
budget games these days (e. g. game on
games) and so there is no use for me
in swapping games. and i can renounce
the few quality games that are
released. legal stuff (demos, tools,
magazines, ...) are always welcome!
by the way, good coders should start
coding games. otherwise some software
companys would drop the c64. think
about it!
+ do you use cheated stamps ?
- no. unfortunately! the german post
increased the post-fee on the 01.04.93
and so it got very expensive for all
german swappers.
+ about demos: do ya like 'em?
are there to many or to few?
- i like demos of course! nowadays most
demos are better than games (game on
for example). in demos are better
graphics, better sounds and better
effects. but, as i said before some
coders should write games (of course
better than game on ones) because i
think software-companys may drop the
c64...
about the amount of releases: there
can't be enough! this keeps the scene
alive.
+ and the same for mags ?
- i like magazines of course. as i'm a
magazine editor as well i have to be
informed about my competitors. but as
the computer is my hobby
'competitiors' is maybe the wrong
word. anyway, a lot of magazines are
good, because they keep the scene
alive. another thing which i like in
magazines are articles which doesn't
belong to the computer. the 'new'
readership want to read more than
just charts, addresses, news,
interviews.
+ if you had the opportunity to build up
a new group - which persons would you
like to join ?
- well, first of all let me say, that i
never would leave my group, if you
are in a group you should do the best
for it. i can't understand why other
people change their group like their
clothes.
well, if i would build up a group
then i would ask some of my friends
if they are interested to join. they
don't have to be coder, crackers,
graphicians or musicians out of the
top ten. for me it's more important
that they have fun computing and being
in my group. time will come and they
will be better. friendship between
the membership is more worth than
talented guys. both things together
would be great, but it's hardly
possible.
brainstorm!
-----------
+ what do you say when i say:
+ group : music group: metallica,
slayer, boehse onkels
(just listening to)
computer group: trinomic
(hehe)
+ coca cola: pepsi sucks!
coca cola and friends:
(johnnie walker, ...)
+ friendship: ... with girls, girls,
girls! hehe!
friendship is important!
+ c-64: i hope the the c64 scene will
still exist for some time.
+ girls: belong to life. they make the
world sunny. i hope that
someday one of those beautiful
beings will share her life with
me.
+ lameness: what is lameness?
+ beers: krombacher! taste it all!
(... only hl - half liter
bottels - they are cheaper.
hehe!)
+ magazines: playboy is a nice photo-
magazin. script is a nice
computer magazine, but
genetic dreams beats them
all... hehehe!!!
+ groupwars: groupwars are lame. most
wars are caused because
people say that they are
better than others or
another reason is that
ideas are stolen/copied.
look at some magazines -
they attack each other
for using new ideas.
but there is one exception:
script. they allowed people
to copy ideas.
+ demos: i think that you asked
me about demos before, right?
+ parties: nice place to meet girls.
you can have a beer with them
(or two or three).
+ interviews: if you are the interviewed
person it takes fucking
much time. but, anyway,
interviews are always nice
to read...
+ and last 'skyhigh': haven't seen any
issue yet.let's see
+ ok we are close to the end now.
so now you got the opportunity to say
what's on your mind.
the word is free !
- well, there is a lot in my mind and
i could write so many here that this
interview would take 2 chapters in
your magazine. but i will keep this
for my magazine (hope you aren't
angry about that). anyway, here are
some things you should keep in your
mind...
* the nature will soon be dead,
because we are stupid. everyone is
only interested in momney. this
sucks!
* i would appreciate that all racists
would know how life is when you are
a foreigner and you are called
names by other people. or even
are beated up only for being a
foreigner.
+ is there some guys ya wanna greet or
tell something then better do it now .
- ok, in one of your previous questions
you asked me to name a few of my
contacts. well, here's a list of all
my contacts and some friends of mine.
