³-When was IMAGE born? 
¹Image was born in the end of june 1990... so it's still fresh and shiny! 
 
³-Who were the founders of IMAGE? 
¹Well, Image was founded by the best members from Exodus and Unique... and Hyde of Complex was also one of the main organizers. 
I can't name any members because it was a whole bunch of guys organizing and planing it... more or less... 
 
³-Now, tell us the whole story about your group. 
¹We, guys in Exodus thought about founding a new group because we we're not satisfied with the recent situation in Exodus (The holy group of jews!) and then we got this idea about a group which would include some cool members from other groups and of course all the great Exodus guys... we told about this idea to some Unique members and Hyde/Complex and they took care of the rest... 
We also asked some other guys to join us and many we're interested and some joined too (eg. Cool J. and Codewizard from D-mob, Der HM from Gate and a guy from Tarkus team. 
And I also want to remind that when Animate died all active members joined Exodus so we can say that IMAGE was formed by the members from EXODUS, UNIQUE, GATE, COMPLEX, D-MOB, TARKUS TEAM AND ANIMATE! Quite famous names eh? 
 
³-What's about the Finnish scene in July/August? Are there any big movements? 
¹Hmm... It seems that summer has effected to all activities here in Finland... very few productions has been released and nothing special has happened. It allmost seems that some big groups would have died but it must be summers fault. 
Byterapers and Scoopex Finland should arrange a copy party (clean one... no boose is allowed!) in August but nothing else... 
 
³-What do you think about Scoopex Finland? 
¹Well, I have nothing against these guys... (Hi Reward! Long live to all beer lovers!) They produce the best products from Scoopex and I have allways liked their calm way to do things when they like and not when somebody wants. Anyway, it seems that some old Unique members and Scoopex Finland have something against each others... I hope that it doesn't effect our team. 
 
³-What is the aim of IMAGE? To get number one in Finland? 
¹To be the number one.... well, I don't want to say that it's our aim... we try to have fun and produce some stuff at the same time... without hurry... and let other people decide who's the number one. We're all that experienced that we know there's a lot more than just fame... 
 
³-What kind of stuff will you release? 
¹We release trainers and demos... mainly... 
 
³-What do you think about imports? A fast way to get famous? 
¹Nowdays, it's not a miracle to have a modem so many teams don't even mention if they imported a game... 
I think that these 'imported' messages will disapear in the near future... as those 'spread by' intros have disapeared, too.. (Thank god!) Of course guys/teams who have got modem recently want to import as much stuff as it's possible before they get their first phone bill and want people to know that it was that 'hot' modemtrader again... 
But I don't think you can become famous only by producing imports anymore. Well... maybe only in those 'less computers' countries where the scene is new. 
 
³-What about IMAGE and modem? Do you have any boards? 
¹Yes, we have many modem swappers and at the moment we have one board but the second is about ready and we've thought about third board, too... it's just that we don't really need so many boards here in Finland because they are mainly for Finnish guys (who calls Finland eg. from West-germany?) And you can count all Finnish HST modems with three guys fingers! But if guys wan't to build their own board... why not?

    (...continued.) 
 
³-Give us the number. 
¹Pirates' Cove 358-0-8024389 (Running with 14.4 hst dual) 
 
³-Is fastness important to you? 
¹As I'm a spreader it sure is... but that don't mean that I like it. 
 
³-Why? 
¹Who spreads your trainer from a game which is allready trained by several groups days ago... 
 
³-What do you think about 'Friendship Against Business'? 
¹Friendship rules! (Hi Munster/Spreadpoint!) Business is cruel and effective... but friendship is stronger! I really hope that this 'Friendship movement' will be a success... Although I must admit that once I also thought that it's only hot stuff that rules and friends can go down from the WC... 
I'm really happy that I noticed what was going to happen and stopped all those childs activities... We, in Image try to keep a good friendship up because that makes us stronger! 
 
³-Do you think wars between groups will stay forever? 
¹Probably yes... I hope not, but it seems that there are some guys that can't forget or take anything... 
 
³-There are a lot of new members in IMAGE. List them with their functions. 
¹Sorry to say but I can't do that... I'm not sure about some guys and their functions and tomorrow I'm going to one week holiday so it's impossible for me to find'em out so soon... however we have about 20 guys... or maybe 22... so it's not a HUGE number... and we're all friends! But of course it's much and we don't take any new members... well, better say that we might take some special dudes... but not anybody else! 
 
³-What are your future plans? Megademos? Magazines? Parties? 
¹We're coding our first demo but it won't come out soon... because the quality is allways better than speed... and we release more trainers and maybe cracks, too... If we can get some hot originals to our crackers... Recently we had 0 day old original of Shadow warriors but unfortunately we had some missunderstandings and we didn't managed to release it in time. Also some other stuff is possible but I don't want to name those yet. ...but no diskmag if it depends on me! 
 
³Now some more individual questions. 
-When must you get up in the morning? 
¹I don't get up in the morning! No... seriously, talking about I must get up at 7 O'clock becouse I work in the locksmith but when the School starts again I woke about 11:00 O'clock and then think about going to school... 
 
³-So, you are still going to school. ¹Yes! I'm in a sort of Highschool... lukio in Finnish... and then at the moment I'm also in Driving school to get my drivers license. (but not for long...) 
 
³-What do you eat for breakfirst, lunch and dinner? 
¹Breakfast: Orange juice, Coffee, bread and something on it. 
Lunch: in the summerjob: all kind of fast food. In the school: excrements (=shit!... not kidding!) 
Dinner: Something what my parents have managed to spoil... 
 
³-How much time do you spend each day with your computer? 
¹Sometimes the whole day... sometimes not even a second... it depends how I feel... Now... in the summer I haven't been so active... because of my summerjob and cold beer! 
 
³-Have you got a girl-friend? 
¹Yes... So now you know the reason for my long delays in swapping... 
 
³-So what's her name? 
¹Tanja. She's 16... two years younger than I. 
 
³Okay, have fun with her! Enough now... Bye...
