    INTERVIEW WITH MR.KING/VISION
                  BY
        COLORBIRD/RAZOR 1911 !

C: Thats Colorbird!
MR: And that is Mr.King!

C:   Hiho,  please  tell us some about
yourself to start with, like your real
name,   age,  job,  weight,  shoesize,
haircolor, etc....  ????

MR:  Well, my Name is Joerg Goedden, I
am  21 years old and I am working as a
gardener.  I am 1.82m tall, have black
hair and grey-green eyes.

C:   Nowadays  you  are in Vision, but
have   you  always  been  there  or  ?
Please  tell  us  something about your
scene career..

MR:  First I had a C64 in 1983, then I
bought  an  Amiga  500  about  4 years
later.   I  entered  the  scene  as  a
swapper  and  also  started  to  learn
about  coding.  Caused by the swapping
I  can  not  find  that  much time for
coding,  but I still try to.  My first
group   was   my   self-founded  group
VICTORY,  where I had not that success
I  was  waiting  for.   Then  I joined
Violence,  and  after  a  short time I
went  to  Beyond.  There I released my
first own pack called LOW SPIRIT.  One
year later, after the break of Beyond,
I  joined Analog.  Under their label I
brought  out the first NEVERMIND pack,
where   the  old  menu  was  coded  by
myself.  The last 10 issues I used the
menu everybody should know.  Finally I
decided to join VISION, and I took the
NEVERMIND pack with me.


C:   You  are  most  famous  for  your
legendary  Pack-Menu "Nevermind" which
I think every swapper has seen.  Could
you  explain  why  its  so popular and
well spreaded ?

MR:   I  think  it is because I myself
have  about  150  Contacts,  and  this
number  is increasing from day to day,
it  is well spreaded.  Due to the many
contacts,  I  get alot of new Stuff to
put  in  the  pack,  so  I think it is
popular.   In  addition  the  News and
Adverts do the rest I think.


C:   Nevermind  has  now  a  very nice
design  and  is  perhaps  one  of  the
reasons  for  your big success, but do
you  really  think  that design should
count if a pack is worth voting for or
not  ?  Isn't the stuff more important
?

MR:   Well,  I think that the stuff OF
COURSE  is  more  important  than  the
design,  and  I  also  has been in the
Charts with the old menu.  That proves
that  it  could not only be the design
that  makes  NEVERMIND  that  popular.
The  menu  should  be  cool  and, more
important,   it  should  work  on  ALL
computers, also on the Amiga 1200/4000
for example.
C:   Earlier  versions  were  coded by
yourself  if  I'm not misunformed.  So
you  are also a coder ?  Can we expect
some releases from you or ?

MR:   As  I  explained  before, I am a
coder,  but  mainly  a  swapper.   Own
releases....  Time will see.


C:   Rumours  says  that you have over
150  contacts  and  even more, how can
you afford this amount of contacts ?

MR:  Well, as I am not going to school
anymore, I earn enough money to afford
that amount of contacts.
