INTERVIEW WITH VISION FACTORY # ----------------------------- # # # MIKE/VF was interviewed by CHESTER# of BRAINSTORM at the RED SECTOR,# ALPHA FLIGHT, SPECTRAL PARTY. # # 1. Please introduce yourself! # # My name is Mike and I am a VISION# FACTORY member since 1988. VF# asked me to join them. I'm an# Original Supplier and sometimes# Organizer and live near Trier/West# Germany. # 2. There were rumours around VF# that they are dead and a lot of# other ones. Tell us about them.# # There is nothing true about them.# ONYX is still with us. It's true# that we wanted to change our# name, the new group would have# been called Damage. But we didn't# do that because one member bought# VF gifts for 9000.- DM. # # 3. Why did you want to change your# name at all? # # Because of problems with police.# 4. Tell us the boards from VF. # # One in Germany and one in USA.# # 5. How many productions does VF# release per week. # # That depends upon the supply of# originals. # # 6. How much do you pay for an# original? # # Sometimes nothing, sometimes up to# the normal price you would also# pay in the shops. # 7. How do you get originals so# fast? # # I know the right people. # # 8. Please tell us a little bit# more about it! # # No! (He is laughing...) # # 9. Why? Do you get originals# direct from the Softwarehouses?# # For some Original Suppliers that# is right, sometimes. I get them# from otherones. # 10.What about STORM,the aggressive# behaviour? # # I know the guy. He should stop the# bull-shit! Nothing more to say# about that! # # 11.Rank yourself in the cracking# charts. # # VF: Normaly we are No.1, but in# the last time we didn't release# too much! At this moment No.2# # M.A.D: That's a cool group. Very# much productions, No.1 # Paranoimia: Going to be bader, not# enought releases... No.3 # # Tristar: Much releases... No.4 # # Quartex: Same as Paranoimia. No.5# # 12.Do you get lazy? # # No, not at all. We will continue# our work. # ----------------------------------# While we (Mike & Chester) sat in# the restaurant , two Tristar# members ( Beermacht & Malzan )# joined our discussion. So, they# wanted to give answers, too.# Vision Factory is VF, and TRISTAR# is TRI. # # 12.What is your opinion about# demos? # # VF: Some are good. New ideas are# missing. # TRI: Good ones are good. # # 13.List me your favorite Demo-# groups! # # VF+TRI: RED SECTOR (They all said# this very loudly because IRATA of# RSI was sitting near us, but# nothing has happened...), SCOOPEX# Finland, FAIRLIGHT and some other# ones... # # 14.What do you know about WILD# COPPER? # # VF: They live in Metz, their Soft-# wareshop calls Tecsoft. I don't# know what they are doing at the# moment. # TRI (Malzan): Don't know them...# TRI (Beermacht): I know them, but# don't ask me what they are doing.# (continues on next article...)# (...continued from last article) # # 15.Illusion isn't a part of VISION# FACTORY? # # No, I don't know what they are# doing at the moment. # # 16.Compare Demos with Cracks, what# gives more fun, work, etc. to# you? # # VF: Cracking is harder than coding# demos. But demos and cracks are# both a lot of fun, if they are# good. # TRI (Beermacht): I have got about# 3 hours for one crack. But until# the whole game is working, that's# the hard thing. You know,the bugs!# # 17.What's the favorite food of a# VISION FACTORY and a TRISTAR# Member? # # VF: Pizzas... # TRI: We only drink beer... # # 18.How long do you sit in front# of your computer per day? # # VF: 6-7 hours (not every day) # TRI: 2-8 hours # # 19.If you were not a member of# VISION FACTORY / TRISTAR, where# would you be? # # VF: TRISTAR # TRI: VISION FACTORY # # 20.When did you bought your AMIGA?# # VF: I have found him (her?) two# years ago. # TRI: 2.5 years. I've found IT (not# him or her!) somewhere in the# wood. # 21.What are your opinions about# trainercrews? # # VF+TRI: If the group can not do# something other, it's okay. # The idea of producing Trainers# is good, you can play the whole# game. # # 22.Favorite cracks and demos? # # CRACKS: (after a long silence) # VF: Dragons Lair / Quartex # TRI: Rings of Med. / M.A.D # DEMOS: # VF: RSI CeBit+MegaDemo, Dragons...# TRI: The same and Kefrens MD 8,# Silents MD... # # 23.What about ZINE? # # VF: I think CJ is at the moment# still No.1, but ZINE and DISC are# following. # TRI: I don't like to scroll the# articles in ZINE and I like the# whole old design of the CJ very# much. I guess that CJ is still at# the top. I have sawn a diskmag# from the Link, that wasn't bad at# all. ZINE, DISC and all other new# mags are all the same, I don't# like them too much. But don't be# angry, that is only my opinion.# # 24.I'm not angry, because none is# interessted in your opinion (that# should be a joke!). What do you# think about the German scene?# # TRI: For us (Malzan & Beermacht)# Quartex and Paranoimia are lamer-# groups, because they do their job# only for mony, we in Tristar just# for fun... # VF: No comment, but I have a# little bit the same opinion like# Tristar... # 25.Any problems with police? # # VF: No problems. # TRI: So had we! # # 26.What are you future plans? # # VF: More cracks, more fun, more# sun... # TRI: Getting stoned every day,# vormit on the floor, fucking, gore# away - that's it! # # Thanks for these nice answers. # # CHESTER/BRS #
