<pre> 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.

ok, the other interview partner is
deff of illusion, this interview was
send to me by faxing...we were all
in a great hurry (again)...

m : mamba
> : deff

m : hi deff, tell us something about
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 !

> : a lamer is a guy who spells
girl with a 'b' and who wastes
all his time in front of his
computer ! ie. doing a fucking
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!

m : ok, what are your favourites ?

> : hobby: computing, (yes, it's my
hobby! don't let computer rule
your life!) skiing and basketball

music: mainly rap eg. like 2 live
crew, pe, jungle brothers, nwh
etc. but i also like to listen to
new model army, the who, blues

brothers, bap and a local group
of my friends called: sowett
sogot! dee-lite with 'groove is
in my heart' kicks some ass too!

food: pizza, spaghetti, fricadel
special (yo jack daniels!)

family schaefer (thanks for
everything!), peter+razy+fletch/
