INTERVIEW with BOSTICH/FUSION ---------------------------------- by Zinkfloid/TRSI Z = Zinkfloid B = Bostich Z: Hi Bostich, nice from you to give SUICID this little interview! Can you please give the readers a small introduction of your person ? B: Oh, sure I can - my handle is BOSTICH as you see, I am 18 years of age, my profession is hardcore coding and source raping and I am organising the austrian section of FUSION, actually with 3 members. Z: Tell us something about FUSION and your current projects! B: About three months ago we climbed from C64 to AMIGA. We are in FUSION since 1991 I guess (on 64) and it is a really fine group, not so active anymore like they were some years ago by doing cracks and trainers (remember MEN and MACHINE!) but there are still talented and active members left! We released some Intros and a slide-show on C64 and one great Demo called `The frayed Citadel` which got fine critics after the release, although it was not very well spreaded. Z: And on Amiga? B: We are on Amiga now for three months, but it is a wonderful machine to code, because the capacity of memory is not so limited than on C64, and Amiga has for sure more power. Actually I try to code a Dentro-Trentro-Mentro-Trackmo together with WINSTON and graphics by TEA POT! But this will last quite a long time because there are other things to do in my life than coding or converting. But you may expect it maybe by the end of the year! Z: What do you think about the AUSTRIAN scene and about the scene in general? B: Well, I do not know too many of the austrian scene because I did not meet a lot of people from Amiga scene yet. The C64 scene was really cool, at a time where TSK and COSMOS were among the best groups in the world. Nowadays a lot of people left to Amiga or quitted the scene forever. But the C64 scene is still active here as well as international. The Amiga scene is really worth to be in but there is for sure too much bussiness and too less friendship left. But I admire those people (me for example, hehe) who do not care about that bussiness shit and just see in the scene a playground for their talents. Z: Why did you not come to any party organised in Austria in the last years? A lot of people were angry about this. But you travel to parties in Germany or Hungary! B: Eh...I mean I had no time to visit parties in Austria when they had been organised! You know I have to work a little bit to earn money from time to time in order to survive in the city jungle. The SEMI party in Innsbruck would have been possible but..I forgot..I had no time, you know, but I also heard that this party was not too good, so I missed nothing! Foreign parties are cool, because I know more people from abroad than in Austria. I do not care much about scene in Austria. Z: Who is the CODER you admire most ? B: On C 64 it was DARK from the SUPPLY TEAM who made even unbelievable things like vector-shadow effects etc.. On Amiga it is CHAOS/SANITY because of his really brilliant Demos (he does not care much about designing/shit which I also do not do!) then DELTA/RSI for being the first who coded a REAL DEMO on Amiga with a cool Trackloader. Z: And which coder is extremely unpopular in your oppinion? B: Hehe, tricky question to start some good group war! But I will tell you a little secret!!!....Hornet/ALCATRAZ is a real faker,hahaha. Odyssey was nothin than a slideshow, I do not know how this demo won the competition in AARS because his coding affords are almost none. But the praphics were good, said TEA POT! Z: What is your oppinion about diskmags? B: Cool, really funny sometimes. I like those one on C64 like MAMBA (rulez!!) or SEX n`CRIME but on Amiga I like some with funny contents like ABNORMALIA, RAW and SCENE LYRICS (really, although it is by ENERGY, hahaha). Yep, mags are marvellous... Z: Coming to an end - what do you think will happen to Amiga in future? B: Oh, Amiga will be strong as ever, because I will release a lot of good routines and I will be very famous, hehe, no I think there will be only changes by legal-illegal activities but the amount of users will be the same! Look at the C64!! After 12 years of scene, there are still people left!! Z: Some final messages or greetings? B: To all my pals on C64, some to my friends on Amiga and to all who know me and good look with SUICID(e?) in future!! Why SUICID without `e` ? Z: Hehe, that`s our sweet secret!.......
