INTERVIEW WITH CRIONICS ----------------------- Shadow of CRIONICS was interviewed by Chester of BRAINSTORM. 1. First of all, introduce your- self. Today I am 17 years old. My first contact with computers was for 4 years as I came to a technical school. One year later I bought the good old C64 and started to made basic - programms like this one: 10: INPUT "INSERT YOUR NAME:";A$ 20: PRINT A$;", YOU SEE THIS IS A REALY SILLY PROGRAM!":GOTO 10 But after a very short time I saw that it is very uninterrested to made senseless programs and play senseless games. So I started to learn 6500-Assembler to made some intros. But when I finished my first demo all of my friends bought an Amiga (because of my intro?). Thus I thought that I also need an Amiga and worked the whole holidays for the expensive machine. Now I started again with learning 68000-Assembler on the fucking Amiga. For about 1/2 year a friend asked me for joining his unknown group. After one month we made a co-op with another group. After a long time of thinking we found CRIONICS. 2. Write down the members of Crionics with their functions. SHADOW: Swapping, a little bit coding THUNDERHAWK: Main Swapper, Spreader, Organizer ODIN: Graphics EUROPE: Graphics HAWKEYE: Coder MOKY: Graphics BANI: Spreading GONZO: Coder EXOCET: Coder WIZARD: Swapper 3. How old is the group? Crionics is exactly seven month and 17 days old! 4. Are you looking for more members? Do you search for sections in o ther countries? Yes, we are looking for more members especially soundmakers, coders and very good swappers (maybe modem-freaks) 5. What do you prefer, swapping by mail or modem? I am only swapping by mail because it's cheaper than modemtraiding. 6. List your favorites personali- ties from the scene. Red Sector ,because of their cool Graphic-guys Quartex ,because of their cracks Brainstorm ,because of their maga- zines 7. (?) What are you releasing? Cracks, trainers, demos,...? We release demos and intros , in future we plan to train games! 8. You live in Austria. Are there the birds singing as nice as in Switzerland? Oh, this is a good question but I've never been in Switzerland to hear the singing of the birds. So I can only think that the singing is as nice as in Austria. 9. Tell us a little bit from the whole Austrian scene and your local scene! The Austrian scene? O.k I'll try to do it! The best groups here in Austria are Scoopex, Subway, Savage, TSK Exxon & Robotech and so on (the charts are following later!) The scene in TIROL? Here are too many (much-uncountable) lamers (ca. 74.926 periodic percent). But here are also some cool guys like Crionics, Exxon, Scoopex and so on! 10.What is your opininon in cracks and trainers? CRACKS: Very important for the existence of the Amiga-scene be- cause if there are no cracks there are no games and if there are no games nobody (respectively only the people which don't play) need an Amiga. So most people buy fucking PC's. TRAINERS: There are many games you can't play without trainer like ZIRIAX, Shadow of the Beast and so on. (Continues on next article...) (...continued from last article) 11.What are the future plans of Crionics? To get famous and to kill all brainless people with Atari's and PC's. 12.Do you like the scene at the moment compared with the old times? I think that the scene is to greedy to sale programs. Many groups like (no names) Quartex, Paranoimia... are only selling their stuff, that's totally shit - a bit friendship must be!!!! 13.Do you like Swiss Milk-Choco- late? Oh, yes especilly the white one. 14.Do you like ZINE compared with other magazines? I like ZINE very much - 99 articles last time - very good Cracker Journal and D.I.S.C are also good, but ZINE is better! 15.And generaly, what is your opinion in magazines? I like them if the reports are short and interrested (and maybe in german). 16.Are you a demo-freak? List the best demos in your opinion? Yes, I like demos very much! The best ever made on Amiga was Red Sector's Mega Demo I think! There are too many good demos to tell you. 17.What are your best products? Please list them. Bloody Sins Demo (100 Percent version!!!) and a few demos and intros-Sorry, I don't know exactly! 18.What hardware do you use? I use an Amiga 500, a printer and some other things! 19.What about other computers and their scenes? What for other computers? Oh, I know you mean the C64-scene! I think that this scene will be dead very soon. 20.What sort of music do you like? Every good musik like Warlock, Skorpions, Wasp, Tina T.,the song "Bakerman"... 21.I want to know again something about the Austrian scene. Give us the charts in your opinion! That's very difficult, coz here in Austria are many good groups, but I'll try to list the best groups! (Note: Hey Austrian freaks: Please don't be angry if I didn't mention you!) Charts: 1.Scoopex 2.Subway 3.TSK-Crew (dead? We heard some rumours) 4.Savage 5.Exxon&Robotech 6.Energy (already dead, too?????) We will stay neutral! 22.What do you know about the Swiss scene? You like these guys here? I only know Brainstorm in Swiss, I like all guys who contact me. (But I hate the assholes who don't write back) 23.How many swappartners do you have in Crionics at all? Let me see : I (Shadow) : about 13 (what a terrible number) Thunderhawk : about 29 Wizard : I don't know exact, he only lists the best! 24.A lot of coders from famous groups are going to program games. What do you think about that? I think that everybody who can program games should do that. If I had more time and someone who paint the gfx, I think I also would do it! But I use my Amiga only on weekends and nobody wants to paint gfx for me. (weep,weep) 25.Do you like rasistic jokes? And what's about otherones? Can you tell me a good one? I think its good to make rasistic jokes about green mars-people or Atari ST but nobody should make a joke about a person who lives on earth. (Aber bekommt mir bitte nicht den Moralischen!!) (Continues on next article...) (...continued from last article) Other jokes are very good too if they are good told. A good joke? I will try one! The Pope died. He knocked on Heavens Door. An angel opened and asked: "Who are you?" "I'm the Pope of Rome." "Rome in Italy or in Australia?" "Rome in Italy." "I don't know anything about the Pope in Italy.", the angel said and closed the door. The Pope went to the first floor and knocked again. An angel opened. "Who are you?", the angel asked "I'm the pope of Rome." "Rome in Italy or in Australia?" "Rome in Italy." "I don't know anything about the Pope in Italy" the angel said and closed the door. The pope went to the second floor and knocked again. The Holy Spirit opened and asked: "Who are you?" "I'm the Pope of Rome in Italy." The Holy Spirit said: "Oh, you were the asshole who told the whole world I fucked Maria!" - He He - checked it? 26.No,... what do you think about the Crusaders Euro Charts? Crusaders Euro Chart is good, too. But ZINE is better! 27.(??) Do you like the sound of our AMIGA? Which ones do you prefer? No, I hate him. I killed my loudspeakers for a long time because I only like the sound of my SHARP 1403, yeah, what a hearing. 28.Copyparties, are there a lot of in Austria? Do you like other- ones? Copy Parties in Austria? The rarest thing here! The best Copy- Parties are in other countries! That's totally shit I think! 29.What's about female computer- users? Do you know any girls in the scene? I have never seen a girl on a computer like the Amiga but there are a few I think! 30.So, for the end you've got the chance to write something you want to write! Well, this is my chance. Now I write what I want but what do I want? Should I write some greets? Or should I write a poem? No, a big thank to Thunderhawk for all the nice help! Nice of you to answer all questions, yours...
