************************************* INTERVIEW WITH SUN CONNECTION CONDUCTED by HAMMER / ANARCHY ************************************* SD: Please, Geronymho, before telling us about your team, tell us a little about yourself. SC: In fast words, I'm 19, I'm French and I get bored of liars. My main time is spent in school, Amiga listening music, and studying french (you know that french is the most beautiful langage over the world, according to me!). I spend about 1 hour a day in front of my Amiga (during school) and 6 hours a day (during hollidays). SD: When were Sun Connection founded and by whom ? SC: Sun Connection born at the end of 1988. That means that we born about a year ago.I founded Sun Connection with a friend of mine, U2. He stopped now on Amiga, but sometimes draw for us a cool sculpt 4d picture. He made our first tunes So, I'm the only member left.... SD: Name the current members and their Roles in the group... SC: Geronymho : Organizer, Main swapper and I make musics with my friend Cobburn. HDWR: (that means Hardware!) Graphic Artist Revolution: Coder Axis: Code and Gfx Pixstar: Sculpt Artist End of Data: Swapper Omen: Dpaint Artist Cobburn: Sound Artist Saxon: Gfx Artist. I must say that we are friends (that's not the same in all teams.) In fact, we're 9, and I think it's quiet a good number. Two or three members will join soon. SD: What were you initial ambitions and do you feel youve fulfilled any ?? SC: Our initial ambitions were: To make our best, (and not be the best), To create NICE things, To get a bit famous (for example beeing interviewed by a cool mag like Stolen Data!!!), to be friends To avoid arrogant people We thing we do our best (it's up to you to have an opinion, and think if our best is lame or cool), we create nice things (hope!), we're interviewed by several mags (see !) and we're friends. But we failed in avoiding arrongant people. They're too many!! SD: What do you think is your best production so far ?? SC: I really don't know what is our best production so far... We are always thinking of tomorow. Yesterday does not really interest us... (we're philosophs, don't you think so?!). Maybe you can answer for me?! In fact, we are proud of our productions, but we think it could be better. So, we hope to do better again! SD: What do you think your Group is best at and why ?? SC: Your question is a good one. I said that our plans were to make nice things. Would you be satisfied if I say to you that we plan Sun Slide III? hehe, not at all ( it's yet released). All right, here's my answer. That's not a coincidence About 10 graphic artist failed in joining us, because our graphic selections are really hard... and that's the reason why what we release is worth beeing used like TRUE graphix. In common demos graphix are not really important. We decided to make the graphix important. We are proud of our graphix, it's maybe the thing we do best. For example, Crusaders are best for tunes ( they're not bad at all!!! ), we hope to be good at graphix. SD: What are your future productions ?? SC: Sun Slide III is finished. The rest is not finished yet, so wait'n see! We hope a lot in a new great cooperation, soon to born SD: Have you ever thought about releasing cracks ?? SC: We thought about releasing cracks We're not interested in. There are many people who do that for us. SD: What are your views on Software Piracy and how it effects the programmers and Software Houses ?? SC: Maybe software houses should stop to pay mags to tell us how great a shit is. When they will stop to release so lame productions, saying it's another revolution, maybe they will sell more. I noticed that sometimes crackers ask people to buy software when the soft is cool. That's a good idea. The Sim City's coder is worth beeing congratulated The coder of Altered Beast or other shit should come back to his mother's home, and fuck his dog instead of making lamers buy his shit (and mags tell lies about it!) WHY can't we pay more a virgin disk (like french SACEM in France for cassettes), and the add can't be given to software houses? And so cops would let us live our life! (sorry for my bad english). Nobody can stop cracking, but somebody can stop prohibition, and give software house money taken for empty disks! My last word: it's too expensive!!! SD: What do you think about the French Amiga Scene ?? SC: French Amiga Scene? Well... Let me think... We are friends with Demons Dragons did cool demos. We have friends like Doxos, Drifters,... There are DMAcon, Cyclone, Mystics too... But many lamers think they're best ( they only want to stay arrogant). To lie is to rule We hate that! Brain Wave told lies about us in Zine ( Arakis said we would die ! ). We never said something about Arakis, and we wonder where he finds his news (it has never been true that 4 members left us! : we were 5 two months ago and we're now 9!!!).!). We hope it was a mistake. French scene is less interesting than french girls! Maybe this will change because we plan something great with Demons and others cool teams. Wait 'n see! SD: What do you think about Modem Trading ?? SC: Modem trading is too expensive SD: Who do you rate as the Best..... Crackers, Trainers, Demo Makers Musicians, Grafix and Swappers ?? SC: I can't rate crackers, nor trainers Many of them release 100 percent cracks, fast, and nice. Nothing more to say. Best demo makers are RSI, Rebels and some others. Best graphix are done by RSI (again!), some good ones by others teams, but they have not always the same quality. Best musics are by many people ( and that's fun! ): Crusaders ( whaaoo Dr Awesome and Fleshbrain! Bacteria was far away better than the others ( already cool ) music disks ! ) Rebels ( Static has got an hypnothical style !), RSI, and some others... Best swappers? That's hard to answer. I like fast people sending quality, beeing friendly That's hard to find. Fast people have often nothing to say. Others are really friendly but often don't send really good stuff... Others send always quality, but are not fast, or not friendly. I think quality and friendship are better than to be fast ( it's always possible to get the stuff, but not to get friends...). My best swap friends are Eddie of Silents ( fast and friendly ), Tee Djay of Powerlords UK (long long letters !) and Billy of Demons (always saying what he think, even if it is to criticile). I enjoy to write to IBB because I speak Italian ( I get sometimes bored of english!) with them (I try!). SD: What do you rate as the best Demo of all time ?? SC: According to End of Data, The best demo of all time is The Thrust Ottifan demo. According to Cobburn that is the RSI demos. I really don't think that there is ONE best demo. Many demos are cool. What End of Data and Cobburn said is right. SD: What Game do you like best ?? SC: E.O.D. enjoys Jumping Jack Son I don't agree. With Cobburn, we meet during hours at Tennis Cup That's a great challenge! But maybe Shadow of the Beast is the best game ever. SD: A bit of a cheeky one this !! What do think about Stolen Data ?? Sc: I remember to have enjoyed Stolen Data when I saw it. But I was in an exam, so I don't really remember School work, you know... (sorry!) I haven't seen the paper mag yet I will ask for it when I get time (I still have exams!). SD: Any Last Words..... SC: Well, I t hink it's over. So sorry for bad english, and good night everybody, from Geronymho of Sun Connection! Write to me: Geronymho of Sun Connection, LARA, 84570, METHAMIS, FRANCE.
