+:i really don't know yet.i hope this will never happen.maybe i'd try to build up a new group toget- her with some friends.it would be great when the original members from 1989 would reunion to rebuild paramount. -:what hardware equipment do you use? +:1 goldstar 13inch color moni- tor,1 c64 ii,1 1541,1 1541-ii,1 action replay,3 competition pro joysticks,1 1084s color monitor,1 amiga 500,1mb expansion,1 daisy sound digitizer,1 light pen,1 mou- se,1 1531,countless disks. -:have you ever done graphics for games orwould you like to make some money in the game developing business? +:nice question,jochen.we have developed mystery together.ac as- ked me to paint the gfx for the game hagar but after they hadn't been able to find a skilled coder ac cancelled this project.i would like to create some game gfx in the future so everybody who is in- terested can contact me. -:which gfx-tools do you use and how much time do you invest in pa- inting a logo? +:i prefer painting with paint magic,amica paint 1.4+ and fligfx v2.2.it is hard to say how much time is needed to create logo,it's different from logo to logo.it de- pends on the style,the filling,the size and the background.including big breaks i need around 80 minu- tes. -:do you think you are better in drawing logos or in painting pictures? +:due to my lazyness i prefer painting logos.but in the future i will paint some pictures but that will suck much of my spare time. -:are you sometimes dreaming of a perfect gfx-tool?if yes,how does your dreamtool look like? +:it should paint the gfx auto- matically.you should just enter some datas about style,size and filling,and the rest will be cal- culated from the computer.a mixed tool out of amica paint,paint ma- gic and fligraph would be cool,u- sing the outstanding advantages of these tools. -:have you ever tried to do so- mething else than gfx like coding, composing,music or cracking? +:as some people call to link an intro in front of a game cracking i must have cracked two or three games and i have trained one but these cracks fortunately never had been spread,i just did it for fun. i tried to compose during my break without any success and have stop- ped learning machine code after o- ne week. -:how much time do you spread in front of your computer per week? +:in my holidays around 5-8 hour everyday.normally around 90 minu- tes i use that machine to forget the troubles of the real life,but after the power button has been turned off the fun has gone.it's really nice when you get sendings from guys'n'girls all around the globe presenting their latest pro- ducts and that's the reason that i'd like to get some more contacts in the future. -:what do your parents think a- bout your computer hobby? +:they didn't like it all,but they have to accept it.since my mother works on a computer her o- pinion has changed but my father just thinks i just playing arcade games on it. -:tell us about your favourite.. +:country:germany,usa music:rem,guns'n'roses,nirvana, scorpions,sometimes techno movie:terminator 1+2,highschool, college movies,das boot girl:claudia schiffer,cindy craw- ford,the girl of 2 unlimited car:bmw 850i sport:soccer(active and on tv) book:my schoolbooks as i have no time left to read other ones food:pasta,pizza,gyros,mc donalds drink:mineral water,highlander,bit deibels,warsteiner,grolsch game:sensible soccer v1.1,lucasart games on amiga demo:ancient demos from ash&dave, ian&mic,judges and megastyle. i like emotional breakdown, red storm,dutch breeze and prometheus unbound very much gfx-man:the ancient pegasus,hein design,thomas heinrich, michael detert and gotcha composer:rob hubbard,jeroen tel, jch,tim follin coder:mr.cursor,zodiac,crossbow mag: disk:shock,brutal recall real:64'er,asm,amiga joker prinz tv series:die zwei(a serie out of sixties with toni curtis and roger moore),mtv's partyzone and married with children,melrose place,beverly hills 9021 -:have you ever visited a compu- ter party?what's your opinion of the last party you visited? +:i've just visited the boring venlo meetings and aars'92.all in all a cool party but some subjects could have been organized in a better way like toilets,showers and competition prices.it was lame that you haven't been allowed to sleep in front of your equipment. -:what do you like/dislike in the c64 scene and what do you wish the scene for the future? +:i really dislike rather unac- tive,not skilled show-off guys slagging about productiv groups e- ven if they aren't able to produce something in the same quality.i like to see that some many guys and girls are still active on this machine keeping on working to hold the 64 alive.something like this scene won't appear on any other machine,that are only cheap copies -:what are your future plans on this computer? +:to release coma light 27 with oxyron and to hit the audience's taste with our demos. -:do you think the scene in ot- her countries is better than in germany? +:i can't judge it as i just know the german scene but the scan davian groups are ruling too,the same counts for dutch ones.in my opinion the european scene is the best because of the amount of qua- lity and quantity groups.i perso- nally think that the east european scene will grow up very soon.in the 80's the american and english based groups ruled. -:tell us your opinion about ot- her computer systems? +:the amiga has nice gfx and so- und facilities,the atari st has it's advanteges in midi,the archi- medes is a cool machine too but the future will be ruled by perso- nal computers.i'd like to see when some contacts would send some more amiga wares,too as i prefer the a- miga as my second machine.in the near future i will buy a pc but i will start painting on amiga next days. -:who are your best friends in the scene? +:well,it's hard to say this one is the best pal.all my contacts a- re my pals but to point out some i have to mention you and the oxyron guys.i would like to greet some of my contacts in no order to:fire- walker,mr.smart,black widow,unifi- er,rune,smd,wolf,skorpion,dylance, anarchy and the forgotten ones. -:where does your handle come from? +:as many guys expected it came from the wwf(wrestling organizati- on)well,in the past back in 1989, i'd liked to hang around with sch- ratcher and breaker of paramount and next to our computer activiti- es we just watched the wrestling 'heros' on tv or video.then tommy/ ex-mcg came along(after the death of madonna cracking group most of the members built up paramount) and wanted to return to the c64 scene.that time breaker has been caught too,and tommy has chosen the handle 'sting' from the wwf, breaker was forced to rename into 'dr.death' and i thought a handle from the wwf would be fine too.so i have choosen 'rauishing rick ru- de' but after many dudes did some jokes about the handle and i have been to lazy to write always like full form on letters etc.i decided just to take the short from rrr. that's why i'm called 'rrr' these days. -:have you ever had problems with the cops? +:a little bit due to my compu- ter activities but the more impor- tant trouble as i got some several times radar-trapped.i'd to book some extra lessons in a driving school.meanwhile i know most of the radar traps in my hometown. -:finally give us some last word you can also greet your friends and contacts or write whatever you like. +:as i have greeted my friends in a previous question i really hope that some of my old contacts are still active and will contact me after having read this.i want to point out once again that it'd be great to find some more amiga warez in my post-box and i'd like to have some more c64 contacts too have a look in the advertisement chapter and note my addy.i would like to greet the guys in excess for lending us their computer equ- ipment several times in venlo. -:thanks for giving me this in- teview. +:it was a pleasure but one qu- estion.where's the money you pro- mised me for answering all these stupid questions! yes,this was the second and the last interview of this issue.i ho- pe you liked it as there were some nice questions from diabolo.now i must stop here because i must also edit some more chapters,not much time left.please return to the me- nu to select another topic. signed:falcon
