The interview was hold by Chester/Brainstorm with ZYR/Setrox in front of the Dial-Computer-Club in Basle/Switzerland. 
 
-³Why did Setrox die? 
¹The motivation has gone, because we couln't get better, in fact we trained about 90% of all games together with Alcatraz. We also hadn't got an original-spplier.. There was also a question of money, like the phonebill. And of course the struggle between Cortez and Pioneer, and Cortez was the one who have done most of the work. 
³-And now, why is Setrox reborn? 
¹Until now our work was just for fun, we will try now to reach the top of the business. 
 
³-You release only trainers. 
¹Yes, but that will change in the near future. 
 
³-Okay, then tell us your future plans. 
¹So, we want just to be better than before. We will still release of course trainers and begin to crack. We also want to continue our tools-disks and perhaps we will code a demo. 
 
³-Why are you training games and coding a game at the same time? 
¹If a game is cracked, it doesn't matter if it is also trained. If I don't train the stuff an other one will do it a little bit later by Spreadpoint/Subway. 
 
³-Why do you use Cartridges? 
¹If you need fire you use a lighter and not thing like 5000 years ago! You ahve to go with time. If you have a cartridge the work is not easier but just faster to finnish a trainer. Some new games have got a protection against these cartridges, so I have to use the old method. 
 
³-Some groups think that's lame to use cardridges. 
¹On one side I understand this because they have no chance against this fastness, but it's also a little bit of envy, but I think that Austrians also have the money to buy one! (!!!) 
 
³-What sort of game do you code? 
¹It's a jump and run and I do it together with Zork (Gfx). 
 
³-Is there anything special on it? 
¹Get a look at it and buy it! You see, there won't come any 100% cracked version! (Because of my own protection!) 
 
³-When can we buy it in the shops? 
¹Well, I will finnish it after my summer-holidays in one year. But I don't know how long it will take to buy it in shops. 
 
³-Would you crack or train your own game??? 
¹Of course not! The company wouldn't be happy about me and I also want to make some money. 
 
³-Okay, back to Setrox. Are there any new members? 
¹At the moment it's Ice-T (SysOp and trader), there will come some foreign members (not sure yet) and in Switzerland there are the same ones (about 8 members). 
 
³-What about Setrox and mailswapping? 
¹Perhaps some guys will begin again but I don't think so. 
 
³-What about future boards? 
¹We want that our productions will be spread good, so we need in every important country about one board, in Switzerland we will have 3-4. 
 
³-What do you think about the other dead Swiss groups like Avenger? Is it possible that they will be also reborn? 
¹Avenger is possible, but all the others were too bad to start again. 
³-And Alcatraz will be split up? 
¹No, no, but it's possible. Let the future come! 
 
³-Give us your favorite cracker- and trainer-charts.
