interview:2
RUSTLER/TSR  by UPTONOGOOD/TSR

Q.please tell our readers about yourself
  (age,weight,height,hair+eye colour)

A.i am 28 years old at the moment,i am
  180CM tall and i weigh,yes come on
  wayne how much do you weigh,well about
  130KG'S.  question is readers do we
  beleive wayne or not?  i have brown
  hair and eyes.

Q.how long have you been on the scene?

A.i have been on the scene actively for
  the past 12 months,but i have been a
  collector of 64 software 12 months
  prior to that.

Q.in your opinion what can the scene do
  to keep its head above water?

A.there should be a lot more products
  (releases) done by all groups.  past
  few months especally in AUSTRALIA only
  a couple of groups are producing.  if
  we want to keep the scene alive,much
  more interest from ALL groups must be
  shown.

Q.how many contacts do you have at the
  present?

A.including AUSTRALIANS i have around
  the 75 mark.

Q.where did you get your handle from?
  what inspired you to choose this one?

A.it was difficult at first to select a
  name that was not being used by some-
  one else,then i was watching t.v. when
  it hit me.  it was a cowboy movie and
  there was a lot of action revolving
  around the RUSTLING CREWS so i thought
  of the name RUSTLER.

Q.tell us about your life style upto now

A.this answer readers came across the
  phone in the background (which happen
  to be his mother) boring,he does very
  little during the day but play his
  COMPUTER.  now that put WAYNE on the
  spot.  his reply to this can't be
  printed due to the LIBEL LAWS of this
  country,he answered that he enjoys
  life to the fullest,hates copying and
  is still waiting for MISS RIGHT to
  come his way.

Q.what groups have you been in?

A.to start with DAVID i was originally a
  member of T.S.R. left after a short
  time later and joined ORBITAL also
  left this group and eventually joined
  PULSAR which i was in for quite awhile
  then left to join OPTIMA but this did
  not work out so i rejoined T.S.R. & i
  am very happy to be back with my old
  MOTHER GROUP.

Q.what jobs do you do in your group?

A.i am co-editor of THE LINK MAG (which
  i might add has just climbed to the
  NO 1 position).  also 2IC and swap
  controller as well as doing a review
  section for the mag.

Q.what future do you see for your group?

A.i think it will (with the help of our
  members) go along way.  we are lucky
  in having a well balanced group,with
  members willing to give up their time
  to help with the running of the group.
  i think that if all groups can pull
  together this way the scene here will
  go along way.

Q.have you ever been interviewed before?

A.yes,i was interviewed by the mag EPIC
  some time ago,but its nice to be asked
  again espically when its your own mag.

Q.how many AUSTRALIAN and EUROPEAN scene
  members have you met?

A.unfortunately i have never met any
  scene member from overseas,but one day
  i hope to have the privilege.  i have
  met several OZZIES over the past 12
  months,from HYPE,PARALAX,SUICIDE,TSR,
  ORBITAL,THE CURE,MSR,.

Q.tell us your favourite things (food,
  drink,sex,etc...)?

  hooked on COFFEE.  i like all science
  fiction movies as well as action movie

  be a female.

interview of CALT/GRAFFITY
by TRUSE/CLIQUE edited by UPTONOGOOD/TSR

Q.can you please tell us about yourself.
  (age.height.weight.hair+eye colour)?

A.when i'm not in the computer created
  realm,i use the name GABOR BOLLA.  i
  was born in 1974 in BUDAPEST,HUNGARY.
  the circumstances were strange because
  another coolie had been born in 1974
  years earlier.  nowdays i'm 185CM tall
  and got a weight of 56 KGS.  you'd
  better not imagine me (my nickname was
  'thread' in kindergarten)!  both my
  hair and eyes are BROWN.  my glasses
  make my face look even uglier than it
  is.

Q.when did you start on the scene and
  what groups have you been in before?

A.i count my life on the scene since i
  joined my first team called BRAZOL in
  january 1991.  after some fruitless
  weeks i moved to RULER and spent some
  nice months there.  then the entire
  RULER joined THE FORCE and i didn't
  like that new situation.  at the end
  of AUGUST,1991 i found myself in
  GRAFFITY.  its a pure legal group with
  out producing boring grax and images
  so i enjoy every minute in GRAFFITY.
  (except when i gotta copy or spend
  money on stamps).  hopefully i'll
  spend my 100TH birthday here.

Q.please tell us about the area in which
  you live.  (population,weather,etc)?

A.i guess it's unnecessary to write
  about it.  get a travelling brochure
  and you'll find what your'e interested
  in.  anyway,i live in BUDAPEST and i'm
  very proud to be a HUNGARIAN.

Q.list some ways in which you think the
  scene could improve?

A.unfortunatley only fews ways are
  possible.  one of them is that we
  should create more spectacular games
  (like LETHAL ZONE,RUBICON..) with hard
  protection,however there is no game
  that is uncrackable.  coz with budget
  games we can delay the death of the
  scene,but we can't stop it!  another
  solution:  cracking groups should
  release some legal stuff too.  check
  out the examples from GENESIS,TRIAD,
  FAIRLIGHT and CENSOR just to mention
  the famous ones.  the third one:  we
  should get more cool dudes involved.
  anyway,in HUNGARY its easy because
  here there is no COPY-LAW,so there are
  big copy parties everywhere(each week)
  and we can discover new talents,there
  are some more ways,but impossible to
  carry them out,so senseless to list
  anymore.

Q.have you received any mail from AUSSIE
  contacts before?

A.yep!  one of my first contacts was
  HEAVYWEIGHT/CHROME,but he went to the
  amiga.  then came a long break and
  finally TRUSE/THE CURE and ERRATIC/
  ORBITAL contacted me in the same month
  this year.

Q.do you see much stuff from the scene
  in AUSTRALIA and do you spread it?

A.when i was swapping with the guy from
  HEAVYWEIGHT,i did see pretty much OZ
  stuff.  if it was legal,i spread it
  around,because that time it was quite
  unique for me and i NEVER received any
  OZ wares from my contacts in EUROPE.(i
  don't get it even now).

Q.what do you like and hate most about
  the scene?

A.if i come home from school & opening
  the mail box,i find some packages in
  it,i'm the happiest man in the world.
  i'm even happier when i get cool and
  legal releases or someone praises our
  demo,or i read a darn good reveiw
  about our products.

  and the scene itself makes me feel
  good.  i think we've the greatest
  scene and the guys on it are the
  greatest guys.  so be happy to be one
  of them.

  i hate receving cracks which have been
  already sent several times before.  i
  hate the groups boasting about their
  demos when those products are no more
  than a collection of LAME intros.

Q.where did you get your handle or scene
  name from?

A.my 'godfather' was DAVIS/GRAFFITY(he
  defiled me at the beginning) and i
  don't know how he got this name CALT.
  i like it because it's short and looks
  quite good on a paper or on the screen

Q.what can we see from your group in the
  future?

A.this interview sheet is sent with our
  brand new mega-demo called JUSTINTIME.
  we hope to come up with the next one
  this year.

Q.what kind of things do you do in your
  group?  (code,graffix etc...)

A.practically i'm the only swapper in
  GRAFFITY,so its enough work for me,i
  guess.  momentarily i possess over 150
  contacts,but as i backwrite to every-
  body this figure will increase in the
  future.

Q.in what magazines have you been inter-
  viewed in before?  (if any)

A.i was interviewed in RULER'S (my old
  group) own mag,(written in HUNGARIAN)
  so i don't count that.  so this is my
  first and last interveiw.  why?
  because one is enough for a lifetime.
  you happy ones.

Q.can you tell us your favourite things
  in the scene? (demo groups,cracking
  groups,crackers,swappers,musicians,
  coders,magazines etc...)

A.DEMO GROUPS:  OFFENCE  PANORAMIC
                     GRAFFITY
  CRACKING GROUPS:  ------------

  CODERS:  O.MORKRID/PANORAMIC  YUP/OFF
           CROSSBOW/CREST  GRABOWSKY/GY

  ARTIST:  HEIN/BLACKMAIL  PAL/OFFENCE
                    MIRAGE/CD
  MUSICIANS:  JEROEN TEL  R. OUWEHAND.
                   TRAYS/GRAFFITY
  CRACKERS:         ------------

  SWAPPERS:  ASLIVE/HYSTERIC+FLASH
              DEATHSTALKER/BRUTAL
  MAGAZINES:  SCRIPT.  SLOWPOKE.  BRUTAL
                        RECALL
  BANDS:    MANIACS OF NOISE.  VIBRANTS
                      PROSOHIX

Q.what chapters do you read most in disk
  magazines?

A.i prefer those original chapters in
  SCRIPT to the conventional ones in the
  other mags.. as i'm a swapper i always
  gotta check out the addy-corners and
  news.  the charts make me angry or
  laugh because mostly swappers vote and
  they really can't see the difference
  demo and demo.  nowadays cracking
  depends on money,so groups with darn
  cool crackers can't hit the charts
  coz they can't afford to buy games (or
  built in men at software houses),
  modem or to set up boards...etc.  so
  instead of cracking groups you should
  use -GROUPS WITH THE MOST MONEY- so
  gracking charts are not fair... but
  this is only a swappers opinion.

Q.tell us some of your favourite things
  in real life?  (drink,food,alcohol,
  girls)

A.DRINK:  COKE,7UP,WATER

                LAIBACH,U2,GENESIS
  MOVIE:  SPEILBERG AND LUCAS PRODUCTION
                    BLADRUNNER
  ACTOR:  HARRISON FORD

  ACTRESS:SIGOURNEY WEAVER

Q.do you have a girlfriend? (if you do
  tell us about her)

A.unfortunately i haven't got any these
  days.

Q.do you still go to school?  if you do
  what course are you studying?

A.i visit a secondary grammer school.
  this is my last year.  i study every-
  thing in general(math,physics,biology,
  history,p.e.,literature,hungarian,
  english and german). the hungarian
  educational system is very different
  from others.  from 6 to 14 we go to
  primary schools.  then we choose
  between SPECIALISED SECONDARY SCHOOLS
  (3,4,5, years long) and SECONDARY
  GRAMMER SCHOOLS (last 4 years).  after
  that UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL or work
  in real life.

Q.have you gone to many copy parties?
  if so which ones?

A.yes,i have visited 3 big parties that
  have been organised by scene groups.
  (ART-X,TKC,CHROMANCE) and with several
  little copy parties.  only in HUNGARY,
  because i can't afford to go abroad.

Q.who were some of the guys that you met
  there?

A.the CHROMANCE party was the best since
  some cool foreigners came.  dudes from
  X-RAY,DEPREDATORS and the entire
  COSMOS D crew presented themselves.
  and also all the HUNGARIAN sceners
  were there (CHROMANCE,FACES,TRUMWYRAT,
  GRAFFITY)

Q.were the parties as good as what you
  thought they would be?

A.as i hadn't expected much from the
  HUNGARIAN meetings,i wasn't then
  disappointed.

Q.well this interview is almost over,so
  if you have any greets or messages
  please say them now.

A.i send my warm greeting to all guys
  on the scene.  special ones to DOPE OF
  W.O.W.,KAOS/LCP,MOTLEY/GENESIS,RUSH/
  CADGERS and my best friends in my own
  group GRAFFITY.  and of course each
  of my contacts deserve an ice cream
  for my half year long break.  a fast
  message to the dear readers:  listen
  LAIBACH and MAKE WAR NOT LOVE!

  thank you TRUSE/CLIQUE for the effort
  in obtaining this interview.

  also thank you CALT/GRAFFITY for the
  interview.
