TARKUS TEAM
INTERVIEW
  Tarkus Team exists sinoe 1988. But
the great breakthrough was 1989. And
1990? Good and fast cracks. So read:
  CJ: Hi!   When  (and  who...)  was
Tarkus  Team  founded and what means
Tarkus?
TT:   Hi!   I’m  Spider  and  I will
answer  your questions.  Well Tarkus
Team  was  founded in August 1988 by
myself.  A Tarkus is a creature from
the  fantasy  world.   A special one
which nobody can defeat!
CJ:  Your complete member-list?
TI:   Ah  yeah  that’s  momentary  a
little   bit  difficult.   But  here
comes  the  newest one:  Spider, SBS
1521,   E605,  Chris,  DCSL,  Ultra,
Condorman,   Magic   Drummer,   Fox,
Mason,    Berlin   Spreader,   Dusk,
Smasher...   I  think  thats all for
now,but there will come some changes
in the near future.
CJ:   What  is  your  motivation  to
survive in scene?
TT:   Hmmm...our  plans  are allways
produce   100  %  cracks!   Since  I
dismiss  FFC, we made better cracks,
because  he don’t understand several
protections (Player Manager etc...),
so  our 2 new crackers make our last
cracks and as you see they run 100%.
Exspecially   SBS  1521  is  one  or
better   the  best  cracker  in  the
scene.  Look at MIDWINTER.
CJ:   Are  you in any wars now (what
about Black Monks)?
TT:  Ehmmmm ...  the war with BM was
only a FFC war ...  but in our group
its  law that if anyone has problems
we stick together and so all members
have war with par example:  BM.  But
we  hate  wars  and so we are not in
war with anybody at the time.
CJ:  Any plans to become #1?
TT:   What  that’s  for  a aim???  I
think the leading groups should make
more   100%   cracks  and  not  only
release  shit  productions.  We test
all  our  cracks, if they didn’t run
we   didn’t   release  them.   So  a
Message  to  the other leading ones:
Make  better  cracks  and not such a
shit like Pirates, Cyberball, etc...
CJ:   What are the three best BBS in
Germany and 1n foreign oountries?
TT:   Hmmm...I  think the most BBS’s
have  approximate  the  same niveau,
because  there are enough traders.So
I can’t analyse the 3 best BBS’s.
CJ: Who’s the biggest Lamer?
TT:   Ah,yes.   Jive_Bunny is really
the  biggest  LAMER in the universe.
The  only  thing he can do is to use
XCopy and talk bullshit.  I think he
should die at once!
CJ:  Do you have a BBS?
TT:   Yes  ofcourse  !!!   We have 3
ones.   Black Shadow, Data Massacre,
Ultra  Box.  Look in the warp messys
for the numbers.
CJ:   Best 1) game 2) cracker 3) BBS
4)  utilitie  5)  GPX  6)  musix  7)
Programmer  8) software firm 9)movie
10) paper-mag 11) copy-protection?
TT:   1.   ULTIMA IV 2.  SBS 1521 3.
Black  Shadow  4.  Diskmon prof.  5.
Walker  Demo  6.   popcorn (from our
1st releases) 7.  Benjamin Fuller 8.
Rainbird  9.   Aliens 10.  Amiga Dos
11.  Midwinter.
CJ:   Are  there any people (groups)
you hate?
TT:   Except  Jive  Bunny  nobody at
this moment.
CJ:  Did you eyer get caught and are
you   well   protected  against  the
police?
TT:   HAHA...  No No the police have
never  visit  me,  because  I’m very
well  protected against this #$%/&?#
lamers.
CJ: Are your cracks always 100%?
TT:   0k  we  made  2  cracks  which
didn’t work correctly, but as i told
you before,fron now on SBS 1521 made
our  cracks and not more FFC, so our
productions will run everytime 100%.
CJ;  What was your fastest crack and
which need the longest time?
TT:   The  fastest was INTERHATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP  WRESTLING (5 Min.) and
the  longest  was  I  think  WARP (4
days).
CJ:   Your  are planning a Magazine.
Any words about it?
TT:   Yes  we  have  planned it. but
after  checking the time we need for
it  we  decided  to  let it be.  Too
much work.
CJ:   Yes,  you  are  right,  I  can
confirm    this.     Do   you   like
copy-parties?
TT: NO!!!
CJ:   What  do  you  think about the
"leading three"?
TT:   Which "leading three".  Do you
mean the 10% crackers???
CJ:  And Storm?
TT:   I  didn’t  know the menbers of
Storm.   I  heard  only  from  other
persons of their actions.  Hmmmm...I
think  I  can’t  leave  a comment to
this  question,because  I  have  not
enough informations.
CJ:    Is   the   scene   too   much
business-like?
TT:   HMMM...   maybe.  I don’t know
how  much  other  people  earn  with
selling stuff.
CJ:    What   do   you  th1nk  about
Neutron's       publishing       the
"Paranoinia-fan-address"?
TT:   I  think  they  are very lame.
But   its   Paralamias  turn  to  do
something against it.
CJ:  Would you betray someone if you
get caught?
TT:  NO NEVER !!!!!!
CJ:  Was the Ce-Bit great for you?
TT:   HMM...   half and half...  too
many lamers visit the Ce-Bit.
CJ:   In  March  you  had  a  little
dead-calm.  What was the reason?
TT:   We had sone internal problems.
No  talk1ng about internal things of
the group.
CJ:  How much is your phone-bill?
TT:        Aaaaaarrrrrghhhhhhhh!!!!!
About 2000 DM per month.
CJ:    Some   tips   how  to  becone
famous...
TT:   You  must  have a good cracker
and a good orig-supplier!
CJ:   Do you like the computer-shows
in TV? 
TT:    Hmm...    a   little   bit...
because they presents only old shit.
CJ:  What do you expect of 1993?
TT:   We  will see.  Its a long time
ul see _ s a ng _ne
and  nobody knows which changes will
really happen.
CJ: Any plans for the future?
TT:  Yes, to keep our good work.
CJ:   0kay,  thanx for answering our
questions.  Bye.
