INTERVIEW WITH AVALON / CELTIC  47                                !

ICE:   HI HO !!! TELL ME WHO YOU ARE (NAME & GROUP) !!! INTRODUCE YOURSELF ...
CELTIC:Well,  I am Avalon of Celtic. Here some data about me, even if they don't
       interest  you.  I  was born on the 28th of november 1969 (yes, I'm 20) in
       Oppeln/Poland  (Polish  Power,  hehe).  When  I was 11 we settled down in
       West-Germany.  Living  for  some years in the capitalism I discovered the
       computers.  At first of all I bought of course a C64. I wasn't confronted
       with  the  scene  for  a  long  time,  so  I  only  played  games and was
       satisfacted. 2 years ago I bought an A500. I just continued playing games
       and  started  swapping.  At this time I was a big loser, so I hadn't very
       many  and very good contacts. One day I got fed up with playing games and
       so  I  started to code my first demo. Well, it was quite difficult in the
       beginning,  but  after 2 months I managed to finish it (I was a member of
       Avoid  Int.  at this time). I wrote some more demoes and got many friends
       in the scene.
ICE:   OH, I SEE YOU'RE A COOL GUY, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITIES IN THIS GROUP!


CELTIC:As you can see, I'm coder and swapper in CELTIC. But I would like to stop
       nearly all swapping to have more time for coding. But on the other hand I
       wanna get all the cool demoes, so if there's anybody who has enough money
       to become a good swapper, he should contact us !!!!
ICE:   ARE  THERE ANY FUTURE-PRODUCTS FROM YOUR GROUP IN THE NEXT TIME ?? IF YES
       TELL ABOUT IT !
CELTIC:Yes,  of  course there are. At the moment I'm working on three things....
       The  first  is  a  new  menue for our well known CELTIC PIONEER CDs. This
       shouldn't  take  very  much  of my time. The second project is a very big
       demo, 2 disx which will contain many new ideas, very well coded routines,
       excellent  graphics  and  fabulous  sounds.  So get it !!!! If my monitor
       won't  fuck  up too often it should be ready to the AmigaExpo in Cologne.
       The  third project is an action-game with some new features and very fast
       routines,  which  means a very cool gameplay. You should be able to see a
       preview of this at the AmigaExpo, too.


ICE:   WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE FUCKING RELEASES OF TOO MANY DISK-MAGAZINES
       ARE YOU GOING TO START A MAG ,TOO ???
CELTIC:Of  course we'll start a mag !!!! (Just joking) There are to many mags in
       the  Amiga-scene.  Some  of them are very good, those like Zine, HackMag,
       4th  Dimension  and  DISC.  But  the most of them are pure shit !!!! (Hey
       Zico, what do you wanna do with this axe ?????) I hope that this one will
       have an own concept and won't just be a copy of another mag.
ICE:   YEAH , WHAT A COOL STORY ... IS THERE ANY LOCAL SCENE NEAR YOUR TOWN ?(IS
       YOUR  NEIGHBOUR SOMEONE  LIKE PARADOX OR SKID ROW? OR ARE THERE ONLY SOME
       LONLEY LAMERS ?) TELL ABOUT IT ...
CELTIC:Paradox or Skid Row ??? No, we have no guys here who are known as well as
       these  ones.  At  my  hometown  there is only one guy who was a member of
       Tarkus  Team (Butcher), but he has stopped nearly all his activities. But
       not very far away, there is a cool guy called Guardian who is a member of
       UNITED  FORCES. We are very good friends and we made some meetings in the


       past  with  beer, Amigas and no girls !?!?!?! Another good friend is Coke
       of  RSI,  he's  the  sysop of the TOUCHDOWN BBS and he's a very cool guy,
       too. And of course there are many local lamers, but who cares ???
ICE:   DOES YOUR GROUP HAVE ANY BBS ??? IF YES,LEAVE NAME AND NUMBER AND TELL ME
       SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MONTHLY PHONEBILL...ARE YOU RICH ???
CELTIC:We  will  open a BBS here in Germany very soon (perhaps it is opened when
       you  read this) It will run with an A2000, a 14400 baud modem and a 80 mb
       harddisk.  So  look  out  for  the number !!!! My monthly phonebill isn't
       higher  than  100  german marks, but this should be enough coz I'm only a
       stupid  pupil,  so  I haven't very much money. And as I'm swapper, too, I
       can't imagine to be rich ever in the near or distant future.
ICE:   OK, HERE WE GO FOR THE LAST QUESTION... ARE YOU GOING TO COPY-PARTYS ?,OR
       ARE YOU GOING TO START AN OWN PARTY IN THE FUTURE ???
CELTIC:We  won't  start  a copy-party this year because this means too much work
       and  spending  of  money.  But I love parties, coz you can meet there all


       these cool guys you know and you don't know. But there are still too many
       lamers  who  just go to a party to start X-COPY and to get all the latest
       cracks  from  group  X  and group Y. But the really cool people know that
       business is shit !!!!!
ICE:   NOW HERE COMES THE VERY LAST QUESTION...WHO IS THE MOST ALCOHOLIC IN YOUR
       GROUP, OR ARE THERE ONLY ALCOHOLICS ???
CELTIC:A  human who is no alcoholic never will get the chance to become a member
       of  CELTIC  (hicks) We all love german beer (hichs) And tha beast isz off
       courze WARSTEINER (hiegktsz). vell, ei sink ai vill ztop nau....
