Did you ever try to sell a game to<br />
MAGIC DISK,GAME ON or GOLDEN DISK?<br />
Did they refuse it? Then WALTER is the<br />
one you have to shoot! Hehe! He's the<br />
man in charge...<br />
<br />

WALTER KONRAD OF DOUBLE DENSITY<br />
_______________________________<br />
EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU WORK FOR "DOUBLE<br />
DENSITY". WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR JOB?<br />
<br />
To get as much money as I can... Shit,<br />
to get some good games which will be<br />
released under that label. Notice that<br />
2D is also active on Amiga,PC and ST.<br />
It is not really a full-time job, since<br />
I've got lots of other stuff to do for<br />
the company.<br />
If you've got a good game don't hesitate<br />
to send it to me. It doesn't matter if<br />
it's a low-budget game. I think lots of<br />
people got something wrong with the term<br />
"low-budget" because there are a lot of<br />
low-cost games which are better than any<br />
full-price.<br />
<br />
YOU HAVE NOT ALWAYS HAD THIS JOB. WHAT<br />
DID YOU DO BEFORE AND HOW DID YOU GET<br />
THE JOB?<br />
<br />
My first computer was a C64 in 1985.<br />
Later I was in a few groups (Mega,WOD<br />
and 711) when I got in touch with some<br />
nice people. In 1988 CP VERLAG asked me<br />
to join their team and so I did...<br />
<br />
IN HOW FAR ARE YOU STILL IN CONTACT<br />
WITH THE ILLEGAL SCENE?<br />
<br />
Sometimes you might see me at some<br />
parties. I'm still in touch with my<br />
best friends from back then (Mr.Cursor,<br />
Hobbit...).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT TODAY'S SCENE?<br />
<br />
I'm a bit disappointed about the scene<br />
as real friendship seems to be gone.<br />
What counts is to blame anyother and<br />
everybody claims to be the coolest.<br />
<br />
TRUE. WELL,WHAT DO YOU THINK,WHEN WILL<br />
THE C64 DIE?<br />
<br />
On 19th of August 1992! Hehe... No,it'll<br />
never die,if there are guys like you<br />
using it!<br />
<br />
ANY FUTURE PLANS?<br />
<br />
I'm on Amiga since 1989,I got a 386 in<br />
199O and I'll keep with the company!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
WHAT DOES YOUR DAY LOOK LIKE?<br />
<br />
8:OO - 8:3O reading newspaper<br />
8:3O - 9:OO getting breakfast<br />
9:OO - 1O:OO reading the mail<br />
1O:OO - 12:OO misceleanous<br />
12:OO - 12:3O out for lunch<br />
12:3O - 14:OO checking some games<br />
14:OO - 18:OO negotiate with programers<br />
<br />
WHAT OTHER THAN COMPUTING DO YOU DO?<br />
<br />
Having a good time with my girl,travel<br />
around the world,driving my car and<br />
having fun with good friends.<br />
<br />
DO YOU HAVE A STEADY GIRLFRIEND?<br />
<br />

now.<br />

<br />
THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLY GOOD DESCRIBTION.<br />
AND HOW DID YOU EVER GET INTO COMPUTING?<br />
<br />
SYLVIA:<br />
We know each other for about 9 years now<br />
and used to play mega-hits like PAPERBOY<br />

ANDREA:<br />
But we starting doing things ourselves<br />
only about 2 years ago. Only trying and<br />
testing for about half a year until we<br />
figured out how to do things. SYLVIA<br />
started coding (starting with Basic of<br />
course) and I drew some graphics.<br />
<br />
DID YOU EVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH<br />
THE (ILLEGAL) SCENE? WHAT DO YOU THINK<br />
ABOUT THE SCENE?<br />
<br />
SYLVIA:<br />
Not really. Then again,yes,I tried to<br />
crack 2 or 3 games,just for fun,only<br />
to learn a little more about coding...<br />
Well,I hate lamers like VERDICT,they<br />
stole our game HISKADO before it was<br />
completely finished!<br />

ever once in a while.<br />
<br />

All in all we made seven,but you can<br />
forget five of them right away. They<br />
were baaaaaaaaad...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
WHAT ABOUT THE TWO OTHER GAMES THEN?<br />
<br />
HISKADO and SHILLY SHALLY (Well,that one<br />
is not really finished yet).<br />
<br />

Femmes,ACDC,Oldies from the 5Os and'6Os,<br />
Joy Division,Hooters,Sisters of Mercy<br />
and all other Hip Hoppers... Hehehe!<br />
<br />

The ANTI-MAMBA intro is quite nice!!<br />
<br />
ANDREA:<br />
Ahh,well... pffft... sure... nice...<br />
<br />
WHAT OTHER THAN COMPUTING DO YOU DO?<br />
<br />
ANDREA:<br />

Body Shaping and Sqash.<br />
<br />
SYLVIA:<br />
Parties (Yes,yes...),Badminton,Squash,<br />
shopping,reading or simply nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
WHY NOT COPY-PARTIES?<br />
<br />
ANDREA:<br />
Because most boys are too arrogant...<br />
<br />
SYLVIA:<br />
Pah! Crap!<br />
<br />
ANDREA:<br />
No,really!<br />
<br />
SYLVIA:<br />
These parties are simply boring.<br />

________________________<br />
HI,MARC! DESCRIBE YOURSELF!<br />
<br />
I'm a 17 years old German student,about<br />
185 cm tall and I got brown hair and<br />
blue/green eyes... I like going to<br />
parties whenever I have time and I live<br />
in a small city near Wuppertal/Germany.<br />
<br />
HOW,WHEN,WHERE AND WHY DID YOU GET A<br />
COMPUTER AND WHAT HAPPENED EVER SINCE?<br />
<br />
Hummm,sooooo long ago! I think I bought<br />
it in 1986. The groups I was in?! Uuugh,<br />
pretty embarresing... I have been in the<br />
"Crack Kings" together with a friend of<br />
mine,later I was alone for a while until<br />
I joined PARAMOUNT. They died,so I tried<br />
<br />
to build up an official 64-section of<br />
TRISTAR+RED SECTOR together with WILD-<br />
STYLE. Finally I joined GENESIS where I<br />
will remain.<br />
<br />
HOW DID YOU LEARN TO CRACK?<br />
<br />
My very first crack ever was "Wonder-<br />
boy". A friend of mine taught me how to<br />
code in Assembler,so I didn't have to<br />
start from scratch,but anything else I<br />
learned by myself. My hardest crack<br />
ever was "Turrican 1" but I improved a<br />
lot ever since. Well,the hardest<br />
protection I have ever seen was SNACKY's<br />
NEURO-PROTECT V1.O on the "Disk Magazine<br />
Creator". But even THAT one wasn't hard<br />
enough for me! Hehe!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ANY OTHER HOBBIES?<br />
<br />
If I don't waste my time in front of the<br />
computer I either play Tennis,Billiard,<br />
and various other sports or I meet some<br />
(girl-)friends and we go downtown...<br />
Ohh,and I like MTV and California Clan!<br />
<br />
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT TODAY'S SCENE?<br />
<br />
Not too good anymore,the companies don't<br />
really release that many games anylonger<br />
on the C64 so it's getting a bit boring.<br />
There are only very few really good<br />
crackers nowadays,like: SNACKY,CRISP and<br />
ROCKSTAR... I hate lamers who think they<br />
are cool crackers just because they link<br />
so-called mini-intros in front of un-<br />
protecteted onefilers! ...And then some<br />
of them even recrack!!<br />
<br />
TELL US YOUR FAVOURITE...<br />
<br />
CAR.....: Peugeot 2O5 GTI<br />
FOOD....: Pizza,French Fries,Gyros etc.<br />
DRINK...: Beer,Longdrinks,Coke<br />
BOOKS...: Neuromancer,Cyberspace<br />
GAMES...: Neuromancer,and any Lucas Film<br />
Games adventures<br />

<br />
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT "PROPAGANDA"?<br />
<br />
LAAAAAME!! (Hehe! Will I get kicked out<br />
now?! No,seriously it's DA BEEEZZZZT!!)<br />
<br />
THE THREE THINGS YOU'D NEED ON A DESERT<br />
ISLAND?<br />
<br />
A submarine,a map and a compass.<br />
<br />
IF YOU COULD MEET ANY PERSON DEAD OR<br />
ALIVE,WHO SHOULD IT BE AND WHY?<br />
<br />
Nobody in particular,maybe some of my<br />
favourite actors...<br />
<br />
ANY FUTURE PLANS?<br />
<br />
Earning loads of money and maybe getting<br />
Hightech-hardware like HOLOSTORE!<br />

_______________________<br />
HI,OLIVER! PLEASE TELL US A BIT ABOUT<br />
YOURSELF!<br />
<br />
I'm 19 years old,I'm 174 cm,the colour<br />
of my hair changes about every second<br />
day,right now they are natural and light<br />
blond,but about a year ago they were<br />
purple. I live in Wattenscheid/Germany.<br />
<br />
WHAT GAMES DID YOU WORK ON?<br />
<br />
I made the graphics for SECOND WORLD<br />
(on C64,Amiga and PC),INVEST (PC) and<br />
MINDBENDER,TRANSWORLD,ROLLING RONNIE,<br />
RETURN OF MEDUSA,CORX,REBEL RACERS,<br />
CROWN,TURN IT 2,THINK CROSS,and MONSTER<br />
BUSINESS (all of these on the C64).<br />
<br />
HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU EARN?<br />
<br />
It differs from project to project.<br />
Usually the price for one of my pictures<br />
is between 1OO,- and 5OO,- DM. Nowadays<br />
I would charge 7OOO-8OOO DM to do all<br />
the graphics for a game like ROLLING<br />
RONNIE.<br />
<br />
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDOLS? AND WHAT DO YOU<br />
THINK ABOUT ALL THESE SO-CALLED GRAPHIC<br />
ARTISTS IN THE SCENE?<br />
<br />
I adore Michael Kosaka,he made the<br />
graphics for SUMMER and WINTER GAMES!<br />
The other one I like is Jim Sachs,he<br />
made the graphics for DEFENDER OF THE<br />
CROWN and the introduction-screen for<br />
CD TV. Scene artists are important for<br />
the survival of the C64,as they are the<br />
<br />
ones who can still concentrate on<br />
graphics without submitting to the<br />
pressure of a software company that<br />
dictates them what to draw. Too bad<br />
their reputation depends on how much<br />
and how fast they draw and not how good<br />
they draw...<br />
<br />
WHAT OTHER HOBBIES DO YOU HAVE?<br />
...WHAT ABOUT A STEADY GIRLFRIEND?<br />
<br />
I like watching videos,reading books and<br />
listening to music. No sports! (Not even<br />
on TV)! And,no,I'm solo.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
TELL US YOUR FAVOURITE...<br />
<br />
CAR.....: Toyota Carina<br />
FOOD....: Canelloni<br />
DRINK...: Wodka,coffee<br />
BOOKS...: Neuromancer (Read it 3 times!)<br />
GAMES...: Susweet (64),Simulcra (Amiga),<br />
Sonic Hedgehog (Megadrive) and<br />
Rockman World (Gameboy)<br />
MUSIC...: Skid Row,Iron Maiden,Judas<br />
Priest,Jean Michel Jarre<br />
ACTOR...: Bette Midler,Catherine Deneuve<br />
MOVIE...: Aliens<br />
COUNTRY.: USA<br />
COMPUTER: PC<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT "PROPAGANDA"?<br />
<br />
I was amazed! Still it could have more<br />
text! I know,it has more text than any<br />
other 64 mag,but have a look at any<br />
Amiga-magazine,they are much longer...<br />
Well,MAMBA has a boring outfit and it<br />
is amusing to read all their wrong news.<br />
PROPAGANDA rules!!!<br />
<br />
IN HOW FAR ARE YOU STILL IN CONTACT WITH<br />
THE ILLEGAL SCENE?<br />
<br />
Hardly anything. Ever once in a while I<br />
look around to see what's new. I'm only<br />
interested in demos though.. On Amiga I<br />
am in the a demogroup called DESIGN and<br />
on the C64 I'm in G*P. Well,I don't have<br />
much time for the scene as I'm busy doin<br />
graphics for a game called LETHAL XCESS.<br />
<br />
ANY FUTURE PLANS?<br />
<br />
Maybe an own software house with own<br />
marketing etc. And maybe I can help<br />
other artists to improve and make money<br />
with their abilities.<br />
<br />
OK. THANKS FOR THE INTERVIEW!<br />
<br />
You're welcome!<br />
