Radical (1990-) --------------- Radical was formed in december of 1990 by 10-15 former members of Steel and Eject. Radius ------ The release of the group's diskmag "Recall #1" [late 90] was heavily criticized in Hitmen's "ViNews #3" [01/91], based on information that Curlin/Hitmen had joined Brainbombs and that he was also an alias for Accu/ex Action - both claims which are untrue. Radwar Enterprises (RWE) ------------------------ GER> AVH (12/87), BKA (12/87), DEF (12/87), MWS (12/87), TC (12/87). Radwar was a German group, and originally a subgroup of The Light Circle (TLC). The name Radwar is an abbreviation of the two words "Radiological Warfare". They were legendary for a number of reasons. They were the first to open the top border (1001 Crew, who is credited with 'opening the borders' first in most references, opened the sideborders and not the top/bottom); they arranged legendary copy parties, and also had a legendary performance in the german tv show "Highscore", where they discussed cracking games. That performance was followed by a big police crackdown soon after. The game "Logo" (released through Starbyte Software) had at least protection written by MWS - don't know if the entire game was written by him... Thanks to Rene 'Mark' for some information. Raiders (RDS) ------------- GER> Bert (Robert Memering, code gfx), Kamp (code). Raiders is a small, 2-member German demo group. They made their first scene appearance at X2000, and made their first release at the same event the following year, with "Dual Head". Kamp is currently inactive, but still a member. Dual Head (2001, Demo). Winner of the X2001 wild demo competition! Raisers (1990-) --------------- GER> Dave (founder mainorg, new 12/90). ???> Mendrake (ex Holocaust, new 12/90). Raisers was formed 12/90 by Dave after his last group Tristar died. They are probably a Danish group... Triad's "Gamers Guide #4" [early91] said he was ex-Raisers, had changed his handle to Painkiller and had unsuccessfully tried to join Triad. Ramsos (1989-) -------------- Ramsos was born in december of 1989, by previous members of X-Ray and Censor Design. Random (RND, -1991) ------------------- Random was an American importing and fixing group, importing games mainly from Illusion and Genesis Project. They died early 1991, since important members Pudwerx and Stormbringer quit the group. Illusionist joined Talent, and the further career of fourth member Blue Devil is unknown at this time. Boards; THE FORUM (usa, 12/90-01/91), HIT'N'RUN (usa, 12/90-01/91). Raw Deal Inc. (RDI) ------------------- NOR> Aztec (code swap, ex Rawhead, new 03/89), Bit Buster (code music, ex Rawhead, new 03/89), Deadline (code gfx swap, ex Rawhead, new 03/89), Jørn (org), Kent (org, 02/89), Newton (code gfx swap, ex Rawhead, new 03/89), Pink Panther, Zaphod. SWE> Razor. RDI was a Norwegian cracker group originally, but also became good demo coders in the beginning of 1989, when they recruited four coders from the old demo group Rawhead. 1987 - Norwegians Laffen (crack, 10/87) and Geir left to form The Deadly Friends in december. 1990 - Swedish Chevignon (Tomas) was kicked early in the year. Rawhead (1987-1989) ------------------- NOR> Atom (code swap, 07/88), Howard (videoswap, 06/88), Jason (org gfx, 06/88), The Archer (swap, 06/-07/88). Rawhead was a purely Norwegian demo and cracker group born on the 14th of august 1987 on the ashes of the group Royal Norwegian Zwappers (RNZ). They were given a great boost after they joined forces with The Shadows in march of 1988, and gained new members like Omega Supreme. They also had amiga members, but only one coder - the rest were just swappers. 1988 - Rocky (code crack) and Hot Dog joined in january, but left for The Hidden Forces again in june. Lynx/The Sigma Crew (music) moved on to T.H.E. late 88. 1989 - In their demo "Pimplesqueezer 6" [02/89], released at the copyparty they arranged together with Bros and The Suppliers, they announced the group was splitting up. Omega Supreme, Storm Shadow, Moonray, Jab and Wizard returned to their old group The Shadows; The Skyrunner (swap, aka TSR, 06/88), Track 7 (amiga swap) and Fantasy Zone (amiga code swap) were to continue under the Rawhead name, essentially leaving the C64 section dead and buried. After a small time of consideration, the remaining active members - Aztec (code, 03/88), Bit Buster (code music, 03/88), Deadline (code gfx, 03/88) and Newton (code gfx, 03/88) - decided to join Raw Deal Inc. The Ball Demo (1988, Filedemo, 1 part). code: Jab, gfx: Wizard (logo), Moonray (chars), music: n/a. review: OK, this is not much of a release. This wouldn't even be much of a demoPART. This demo is just a scrolltext, a logo, and some animated sprites flying around. The only thing I really liked with this was the ones that expand and shrink in size if they're close or far away from the screen, a lot like the effect in the "Crystal Symphonies" musicdisks from Phenomena on the Amiga. Ofcourse, that was released much later. Avoid this, ppl. [glenn] Another D.Y.S.P. (1988, .03, Filedemo, 2 parts). code: Bit Buster, Deadline, Newton, gfx: n/a, music: Bmx Sim+ (game). review: With this small demo (actually just one intro and one actual part) Rawhead release their DYSP routine. They claim to actually have coded it before anyone else released one, but admit they can't prove it. They were the third to release such a routine, they claim. To the demo itself: There‘s no actual graphics here, just chars and coding tricks. The Rawhead logo in the main part is just an outline, with some clever raster tricks. There‘s lots of colorful raster bars below the dysp routine, too. This does have some primitive charm, and works fine for me. The music credit is for the intro, noone is credited with the mainpart music. Not bad. [glenn] Ok! (1988, .06, Filedemo, 3 parts). code: Aztec, Deadline, Newton, gfx: Newton, Deadline, Jason, music: n/a. review: Three parts to this one, and only one is any good. Deadline's part 2, with that twisting stretching upscroller was original and cool. Other than that, this is nothing you need to search out. [glenn] Pimplesqueezer 3 (1988, 13.06, Filedemo, 5 parts). code: Omega Supreme, Deadline, Bit Buster, gfx: Storm Shadow, Moonray, Deadline, Newton, Bob/?, music: Rob Hubbard, Draconus (game), Red. review: I always liked this, and much of the 'blame' for that must go to a certain 14-year old and his ever expansive ego... Seriously, this demo represents some pretty great coding, especially for its time. This is a demo full of good routines, and Omega Supreme has a good eye for design. And to top it all of, they end the show by inventing something new: tech-tech on the C64, inspired by Sodan‘s classic Amiga demo. The effect was invented by Moonray, and coded by Omega Supreme. As you may have already guessed, this demo is much about Omega Supreme. Take my word for it, you can‘t help but be charmed by the amazing self belief this young man possesses. The thing that makes it so entertaining is that he's not just blowing smoke either: After showing us something that‘s a little showstopping, he declares to the world that he's as close to a coding god as they'll ever get! Trust me, it's great fun. And a great demo too! They use the same logo here once, that they used twice in "OK!" [06/88] already. Perhaps time to get a good graphician? [glenn] Pimplesqueezer 4 (1988, Filedemo, 3 parts). code: Deadline, gfx: Deadline, Moonray, music: Bit Buster, "Alloyrun" (game) by Jeroen Tel, Ubik (game). review: This edition of Pimplesqueezer was coded entirely by Deadline. After the impressive PS3, this was also a step down. PS4 has none of the showmanship of the third installment. The only thing that might make you sit up and take notice is the last part, with a scrolling game terrain in the sideborder. Other than that, this is BOORING... Pimplesqueezer 5 (1988, 08.10, Filedemo). code: Omega Supreme, Deadline, gfx: Moonray, music: Lynx/T.H.E. 2nd in the Razor 1911, Cartel and Abnormal party demo competition! review: I'd love to review this demo, but I'm having having trouble progressing past the introductory note. The demo requires you to press the keys O M E G and A at the same time, and it just doesn't work in CCS64. The credits are in no way complete. [glenn] Partysqueezer (1988, 08.10, Filedemo, 4 parts). code: Omega Supreme, Aztec, Deadline, Bitbuster, gfx: Wizzard, Deadline, music: Fire Eagle, The Last V8 (game). Winner of the Razor 1911, Cartel and Abnormal party demo competition! review: Winner of the democompetition where Rawhead also came in second... How's that for a power demonstration? At the time, noone on the Norwegian scene could touch these guys. The demo itself isn't really that outstanding, except for the final part. That one features a picture STRETCHER by Bit Buster that looks pretty wicked! The only other coding highlight were the three DYCPS bouncing around over each other. There‘s not much in the way of graphical excellence; there‘s mostly some average chars and a not-too-fabulous logo. I'm sure the picture in the end part looks OK, if it would just stand still :) The music's probably all ripped - there's no indication of anything else. A fair demo with a wicked stretcher! [glenn] Pimplesqueezer 6 (1989, 24.02, Filedemo, 4 parts). code: Omega Supreme, gfx: Moonray, music: Ole Marius/Prosonix. 3rd in the Rawhead, Bros and Suppliers Party demo competition. review: A fair end to the Pimplesqueezer series, and the final one released under the Rawhead label. With this demo, released at the copy party they helped organize, the split up of Rawhead was announced. There‘s a few things of technical interest here, like a nice DYCP, 25 scrollers and even a sinusscroller - had that ever been done before on the C64? Not bad. [glenn] Razor 1911 (1985-1986) ---------------------- Razor was formed in Norway in 1985 by three guys, later known as Doctor No, Insane TTM and Sector9. The group's original name was actually Razor 2992, but this was later changed to 1911. The group lasted for about a year, creating a few demos and releasing a few cracks. They then broke up, and one half went to TCC, and the the other half (Sector9 and Doctor No) went to Megaforce - later known as Scoopex on the Amiga. This membership only lasted about a month, before both went and joined Active Cracking Crew. They would later come together again in 1987 when they gave rebirth to Razor on the Amiga. To read more about this, check out the Razor 1911 founders website at http://www.laric.se/razor Rebels [1] ---------- Rebels [2] (1990-1990) ---------------------- Rebels was a swedish group, reborn in 1990 by Goldie + others from Royalty and Watchman + Dynamite from Triad. In late july or early august the same year the group died after swedes Dynamic, Goldie, Hero and King Fisher left to join Triad, and the only remaining member Watchman left for Fairlight. Rebels [3] ---------- GER> Chaotic (Jan Winters, ex BCD, new 09/94). ???> TUC (code crack, 09/94). 1994 - Nitro left the scene; Mr.Alpha left to be in F4CG only; Tristar (paper artist) was kicked, and Dr.Who (designer) was brought in to replace him; Suzuki (also in Dytec) left; Chaotic/ex BCD joined, and finally TUC is back in the group after his failed attempt to form a group called Fusion. Red Sector [old] ---------------- 1989 - Madman and Warboy left to join Alpha Flight 1970 in november. They both changed their handles at the same time, and are now called Glenn and Cronos. Red Sector Inc [new] (RSI) -------------------------- GER> Brego (08-09/93), Count Zero (crack, ex X-Rated, new early93-11/93), Darklord (ex Arcade, new early93), Ikarus (early93), Irata (supply, 11/93), Mister President (code, 11/93), Psychobilly (08-09/93). ???> Crisp (crack, new 08/93), Double-T (code crack, 92), Hok (crack, new 08/93), Scat (gfx, 12/93), TBB (swap, later Talent, new 10/93), The Secret Man (supply, 92), TNM (cardhacker, new 05/93). Boards; FORPLAY (usa, 11/93), THE CAPITOL EHQ (10/93), THE RED BBS (new 10/93). 1993 - Aslive left early this year, and is now only in Genesis Project and Flash Inc. Icarus left for Alpha Flight in may, only to leave the scene a few days later. TNM (cardhacker) joined in may. Former Action crackers Hok and Crisp returned to the scene in august, under the wings of RSI! Another ex-Arcade member, swapper TBB, joined up in october. Other happenings in october included the EHQ changing its name from 'GODLAND' to 'THE CAPITOL', a new board called 'THE RED BBS' joining, graphician Silver/WOW joining and finally german Dense (supplier and editor of the papermag "Bullet Proof") getting kicked out of the group for laziness. Reflex [old] ------------ Reflex is a norwegian demo group, reborn when Wax and Pee left Megastyle Inc in july 1990. They likely never created any waves, and that is the reason why the new, more widely-known Reflex never knew there was already a group with this name! =] Reflex [new] ------------ GER> Dr.Chaos (Martin Richtarsky, swap, mid94-late95), Happymaker (Olaf Zimmermann, editor, 11/94-01/95), Hogan (Enrico Wenzlawe, gfx, doublememb Acsore, 01/95-07/98), PVCF (music, 12/94-04/96), Quiss (Matthias Kramm, code, 93-04/96). ???> Condor (ger? gfx, 01/95), Felidae (gfx, 12/93-late95), Guru (late95), Johnnie Walker (late95), PVT (ger? gfx, 12/94-04/96), Warp8 (ger? code, 01/95), Zorc (late95). After releasing "Centric Preview" (04/96) - their fourth consequitive winning demo - they announced in an accompanying note that they would make no more demos for the C64, since there was no competition any more. They have now moved much of their activity to the pc scene. 1998 - Hogan contributed a logo and a picture to WOW's second placed demo "Home Invasion" [07/98] at Wired 98. Access Denied (1994, 28.12, Demo). Winner of The Party 4 demo competition! Insider #04 (1995, 13.01, Diskmag, 2 sides). INT - code: Warp8, gfx: Hogan (logo), music: "Speedway" by Fanta/Plush. MAG - code: Warp8, gfx: Condor (reflexlogo), Hogan (insiderlogo), music: Zyron/Antic, KB/TOM, Odysseus/Eastgang, Xayne/Crest, DOS/ADSR, Syndrom/Crest, Shogoon/Taboo, BIO/Bass, Peace/Noice, editors: Happymaker (main), Warp8, Hogna. review: This mag opens with an amazingly boring intro - garish colors, bad music, lousy gfx... The music in the intro is Fanta's winning tune from The Party 94, btw :). After pressing space the mag itself loads, and thankfully looks a lot better than the intro did. I really like the menu, it's clear, easy to navigate, and looks pretty OK. It's a two-way split screen, with a passable reflex logo at the top, and the bottom containing the actual menu. It's easily controllable by cursors or joystick. Pressing enter (or fire, for that matter) loads a new tune or a new article. The article reading screen is a little different. Here the logo (for Insider this time) resides at the bottom of the screen, and the top part is reserved for the text. I have a serious complaint here; not enough space is reserved for the text. Nothing much to do about it, but it does leave you with 40-page long articles... The editorial content is pretty ok, with a good range of articles, where I guess the party reports were the most enjoyable to me. The english is pretty good most of the time. to conclude: Insider is a good mag, that could have been even better with a larger reading area, perhaps a font that's a little more innovative (DEFINITIVE deja-vu feelings!) and some better graphicians working for them... and perhaps by replacing a few of those tunes with more articles? [glenn] Radio Napalm (1995, Demo). Winner of the X'95 demo competition! Centric Preview (1996, 07.04, Demo). code: Quiss, gfx: PVT, music: PVCF. Winner of the Symposium 96 demo competition! review: Yee-ha! This is a goodie! Ofcourse, anything coming from these guys should be... It's not the effects in themselves, but the design that set this one out. They way they've learned from Amiga and PC demos to time the onscreen action to the music is a great asset for them. The effects are not half bad either, ofcourse, with an impressive and colorful tunnel effect being the highlight. Also, the dripping/sliding 'water' routine was impressive and original. This demo was made more as a preview for their upcoming game "Centric" than as an actual demo. The official results used the name Cyance - the name of Reflex' games development part - but we all know who these guys are :-) [glenn] Regina ------ DEN> Dr.Zivago (Allan Hylke, code, 11/93), Duke (Alex Hylke, editor, 11/93-06/94), Idol (Rene G. Larsen, swap, 11/93), KBS (Kim Berg Sorensen, swap, 11/93-09/94), Steve (code, 11/93), Sun Dancer (Kim Kristensen, gfx, 11-12/93). NOR> Shark (music, doublememb Blues Muz' [details], 12/93-94). HUN> Mercury (Biro Szabolcs, gfx, ex Lethargy, new 05/94). Boards; POWERSURGE WHQ (usa), GATEWAY EHQ (den). Regina is a demo group based in Denmark. 1994 - Before the release of Pulse #12, they recruited Hungarian graphician Mercury in may. The Pulse #5 (1993, 01.11, Multifile Diskmag). code: Dr.Zivago, gfx: Sun Dancer, music: Shark, editor: Duke (main), Psychobilly/RSI, Crossfire/Epic, Steve/Regina, Sun Dancer/Regina, Splatterhead/AFL, KBS/Regina. review: No intro for this one, but the rest is the same as in previous issues. No big news about the the mag this month, except that Splatterhead replaces Brego/RSI on the staff. Apart from the usual news and charts, Suzieuzi/Illusion's board 'THE INTERSECTION' gets profiled in the board section, as does Cruzer/Camelot in the demo section. No big new demo releases to review, as everyone was likely saving their best for the upcoming The Party 93. The accompanying note was done in Facenoter 0.1, and features music by Metal. [glenn] The Pulse #12 (1994, 01.06, Multifile Diskmag). code: Dr.Zivago, Iceball/Motiv8 (loader), gfx: Mercury (intro), Kring/Camelot (main), music: Drax/Vibrants, editor: Duke. review: A rather nice mag, written interestingly and intelligently, nice and stable but without a real 'WOW' effect. Wellwritten. [glenn] Relax (1987-1987) ----------------- Relax were a Swedish cracker group, formed in april 1987 out of the remains of the West Coast Crackers (WCC). Almost all members - Janitor (crack) ++ - joined Triad 09/87, causing the group to finally die. Remember (REM, 1997-, http://www.remember64.de) ----------------------------------------------- GER> Hok (crack, 02/97-05/02), Jack Alien (code crack, 97-05/02). ENG> Derbyshire Ram (doublememb Alpha Flight 1970 [details], 12/97-05/02). ???> Fatman (supply, 04/98-05/02), Intruder (05/02). Remember is a german retro-cracking group, born in early 1997 by Jack Alien and Hok. Retro-cracking means the group is devoted to releasing new, 'perfect' cracks of old games. All their intros are made by Jack Alien. Their homepage is called 'Immortal Antiques'. They are by far the most successful retro-group, at least in terms of releases. They passed 300 in the year 2002. 1997 - Derbyshire Ram changed groups from F4CG to Alpha Flight 1970 around november-december 1997, but keeps his double membership in Remember. Remembers, The -------------- AUT> Mr.Alpha (Mario Berghold, 12/94). Remembers later became the group Nostalgia. Rizing (-1990) -------------- Rizing was a Swedish group, who changed their name to Omega december 1990. 1990 - Early in the year they were briefly joined by Stanz/Dominators, but he shortly moved on to join Zeropage. ROLE (http://www.role64.com) ---------------------------- BEL> Axe (swap, early91), Budgi (swap, 01/91), Mendrake (swap, early91). N-L> Scorelord (swap, early91).

Boards; WARES HOUSE (usa, 01-02/88), JUNKYARD (usa, 02/88). RAD was an American group specializing in importing games from Europe. RPG --- 1994 - Zirc0 (music) and Moloch (code) both doublejoined from F4CG around september. Uzzy/Incursion (gfx), Chronic Leech (gfx) and Dragon Slayer (runner, whatever that means) joined this month. Royalty (-1990) --------------- SWE> Probe (crack, later Ruthless). ???> Acty (90). Royalty was a swedish group. 1990 - Goldie and some others left to rebuild Rebels with Watchman and Dynamite from Triad. Alfatech likely took over leadership of Royalty after this. TGD contributed two tunes to the release of Antic's "Explorer #2" [06/90] in june, and P.Jay was a co-editor on the same mag. Rainman contributed logos to both "Explorer #2" and "Explorer #3" [07/90]. Royalty then died around july! Grapple, Alfatech, Iman, Rainman and Iznogoud all joined Ruthless, TGD changed handle to Orb and joined Flash Inc. Motley was kicked and is groupless. Swedish swapper P.Jay (05/90) also remains groupless, and is looking for a new group. Rule3 (R3) ---------- POL> Warlock (code, triplememb WOW and Schn+Exon, 04/98). Cyberdrome (1998, 26.04, File). code: Warlock, gfx: Flash/Reflex and Schn+Exon (textures), Astaroth/Agony (pic), music: "No Good" by Praiser/Reflex. 3rd in the Rush Hours 98 demo competition. review: Made just to fit some visuals to the music (a cover of The Prodigy's "No Good"), this group's first dentro is of limited interest only. It's mostly presented in 4x4 resolution with some uninspiring effects being performed, like waving the 'pixels'. The one-part dentro opens with the option to view a note (code: Morris/Agony, gfx: Warlock (font), music: Dr.Voice/Panic (done in 1995, so it was probably ripped). If the spacebar isn't pressed in three seconds it moves on to the dentro itself. [glenn] Ruling Company, The (TRC) ------------------------- N-L> Action Jackson (edit swap, 10/89-01/91), CBA (swap, 07/90-08/95), Defbeat (code music, 03/90-01/91). GER> Don Promillo (01/91). ENG> Xenon (Lee Jones, 01/91). ???> Macmagix (music, 01/90), Rad (ex Hitmen, new 05/93), Rebel MC (gfx, aka RMC, 01/91), Seal (ex Hotline, new late89), Trooper (new 10/93). Boards; VIRTUAL REALITY WHQ (usa, new 05/93). 1989 - Seal joined from Hotline towards the end of the year. The two danes Trap and Sonny (who apparently edits a mag) left for Success at the Christmas Party 89 in december. 1991 - January saw Choq selling his machine and leaving the scene, as well as the release of the tenth issue of "Frontpage" at that month's Venlo meeting. 1993 - Cavron joined from Nirvana, while Rad joined from Hitmen in may. Hellraiser returned to the scene and TRC in may, but quickly changed his handle to Primus and left for Mayhem. Cavron opened his board under the name 'ENDLESS PIRACY' (later changed, see below). VIRTUAL REALITY was recruited as the new WHQ. Ironcat (music) left the scene in october, due to his army service duties. Trooper joined the group and Code 18 and the entire german section got kicked in the same month. The germans (Jack Alien, Cavron (sysop 'STATE OF THE ART', ex Nirvana), Dr.Disk and Renegade) subsequently joined Atlantis. Frontpage #10 (1991, 26.01, Filemag). code: Defbeat, gfx: Rebel MC, music: Hithouse, editor: Action Jackson. Released at the Venlo Meeting. review: We're stretching the envelope reeeeeeeally long when we call this a mag, but that's what TRC is calling it, so... It's really a nicely designed wraparound for what is precious little text. The 'mag' part is just 5 lines of text in the middle of the screen, with the main attraction for the demo freak here the lush audio-visuals...unusually colorful for its time. There's not much text, just news and a few movie reviews (keep in mind that VHS pirate copies of new films were as big as software piracy back then). [glenn] Rush ---- CZE> Fract (code), Reign (gfx). Ruthless (1990-1991) -------------------- HOL> Bill (swap, 12/90), Curse (swap, 07/90), Peter (Peter Venkmann, swap, 09/90).

Ruthless was born in july of 1990, and is a cracker group based in Holland. They were built by previous members of Manowar (5), ATG (2), TRC (2), Capitol (5) and Nuclear. 1990 - Cracker Ghost left for Fairlight around july. Grapple, Alfatech, Iman, Rainman and Iznogoud all joined after the death of Royalty in july. Dopeman also joined around july. Derse left for Hitmen, while Brego left for Bronx in december. The group arranged a copyparty in Utrecht, Holland just before christmas. 1991 - Swedish cracker Probe (ex Royalty, Triumph and Omega) joined early in the year, so there is 6 members in the swedish section now. Ruthless finally died in april, and almost all members joined Hitmen.
