     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.....
