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. #
