This  Interview  was held by Scooter of
Armageddon on Friday, 31.08.1991.....ˆ

Sc: Hi Axel!  Please introduce yourself
    (name, age, activity...).
Ax: O.K., I am Axel of Treacl and  I am
    18  years old. I  am  working as  a
    swapper in Treacl.

Sc: What are you doing  at the  moment,
    are you going to school?
Ax: No, I'm not. At  the  moment I work
    as an industry-mechanic.

Sc: So you'll never  have problems with
    having enough money?!
Ax: Yes, that's right.

Sc: For how long do you own a computer?
Ax: Since February '88  I had a C-64(!)
    and  since  November '89  I  own an
    Amiga!!!

Sc: What  were  your  activities on the
    C-64, have you been in the scene?
Ax: I  only  cracked  some games, but I
    was no member of the scene...

Sc: How had you cracked them and was it
    difficult to do?
Ax: Oh, I used  the "Action Replay MK5"
    and it was really simple.

Sc: Really  interesting.   So  tell  us
    which hardware are you using today?
Ax: I own an Amiga 500, Philips Monitor
    CM8833,  3.5"  and  5.25"  external
    drive, Action Replay II and 1MB.

Sc: OK, but now let's change the topic.
    It  became  really  silent   around
    Treacl,  so   did  you  all  become
    spiritless or what has happend?
Ax: I  think  we didn't.  At the moment
    we  don't release very much, except
    some packs, like my "Dream Pack" or

    9) Coder   : Slayer/Scoopex
    10)Sounder : Jester/Sanity

Sc: What  do  you  think  about  modem-
    trading?
Ax: I think it's  fast  and good but as
    I don't  own a modem  I  can't tell
    very much about it.

Sc: If  you  could  wish  you 3 things,
    what would it be?
Ax: Oh, funny. Aeh I think to have much
    money, a lovely  woman  and a  cool
    house is the right answer.

Sc: O.K. I hope you  will  get  it! But
    now let's go on...

Sc: If you  compare  the  German  scene
    with the  rest  of  Europe, what do
    you say?
Ax: Well, easy to say, the Scandinavian
    groups  are  the  best  demogroups!
    They have  great  coders  and  many
    good releases.
    In Germany,  toooo  many  bad demos
    were released!! The best in FRG are
    D-TECT  with   their  HACK-MAG  and
    Cytax with their I.C.E.!

Sc: For sure you  have  an  interesting
    point of view. But now let's change
    the topic. Have you ever faked your
    stamps?
Ax: Yes  of  course, but  now  it's too
    dangerous  and  so  I  stopped with
    these things.

Sc: Do you own any pirate stuff?
Ax: Yes, about 300 disk full with games
    I am  not a  gamefreak,  but I sell
    them...

Sc: Have you ever had any problems with
    the police?
Ax: Yes, but not because of the games.

Sc: Would you tell us why?
Ax: Sorry, but I  don't  want  to  talk
    about it.

Sc: I think it's O.K. How much time  do
    you spend infront of your computer?
Ax: I think 4 hours a day.

Sc: What do you think about parties?
Ax: I love all kinds of  parties (copy-
    parties and  normal  ones). Because
    there I meet  my  friends  and con-
    tacts etc.

Sc: O.K., then tell us the  best  party
    you've ever visited.
Ax: I think the Dexion X-Mas Conference
    in Odense,  because  it  was  great
    organized.

Sc: What was the party with the longest
    distance from your hometown?
Ax: Not easy to say, but it ought to be
    the   Maximum   Pleasure  Party  in
    Luxemburg.

Sc: O.K., What do you think  about  the
    Friendship-movement?
Ax: A really important question I think
    and I can say that only some  of my
    contacts are  really  good friends,
    like  Shadow of L.S.D. etc. So  you
    can  see  that  not  all  guys  are
    interested in getting friends....

Sc: O.K. now it's time to end. Have you
    anything to say?
Ax: Yes, don't  forget to  come  to our
    Copy-Party  on 16/17 November 1991!
    Greetings to all contax and friends
