FLT was formed by STRIDER and The BLACK SHADOW after the 3 internal WCC party (eastern 1987). They got bored of some members (especially Nike) So, on the train back they formed FAIRLIGHT! The first member was GOLLUM (THE BEST CRACKER ON THE 64). Everything was cool. FLT grew and got pretty famouse (and still is!) on the good old 64. After a while Strider and TBS bought amigas...And then the amiga division was formed! Some members joined some left (like in all groups) Look at quiz #8 for the current AMIGA FairLight memberlist TT: You have been into the scene for quite awhile now, Have the scene change anything in your eyes ? FLT: Jupp! The beer is much more expencive now... Nah! Seriously! Now days there is more competition Warp the original and send it by modem to the cracker and let him crack is fast as hell. Now it's a matter of hours! No time for HIGH QUALITY versions! Nobody cares about the length since almost every fucking game is track loaded Because of this, there are every now and then screwed up versions. TT: Who are the members in Fairlight and what are their functions ? FLT: BLACK SHADOW (HACKER), CELEBRANDIL (HACKER),CONQUEROR (HACKER),DAGGER (ARTIST), DOPPLEGANGER (HACKER), EXOLON (HACKER), EXCALIBUR (MODEM FREAK!), GRIFFITH (HACKER), HOBIT (ARTIST), MR.WIZ (MUSIC), PREDATOR (SYSOP, WHQ), SPAZM (SYSOP+HACKER) SPIKE (HACKER), STRIDER (KING! and COMMIE KILLER!),VIGILANTE (ARTIST) ZIKE!

FLT: BMX NINJA SKATING ROUNDABOUT KICKERS! (I THINK...) TT: Do you get your originals from inside Sweden ? FLT: Sometimes... TT: How many trainers have you made ? FLT: Not enough! TT: What was they very first one ? FLT: Shadow of the beast! TT: Which one of your productions are you most proud of ? FLT: All! TT: How important is the modem scene for you ? FLT: 100% TT: Do you do any mail trading ? FLT: Only with the PURE ELITE who hasnt got modems! TT: What do you think about copypartys FLT: Copypartys = booze = fun! TT: What do you think about 1989 ? FLT: A good year for FAIRLIGHT! We got many new 'n fresh members! (like me!) TT: Are Fairlight working on any special projects ? FLT: SURE! Many! But non to be revealed just yet...
