|
|
HELLO, DUDES!
|
|
|
|
It's again English time! Our foreign contacts were really glad when they
|
|
received their 'ILLEGAL' with some English information in it. So I decided to
|
|
continue writing some notes in English and to enlarge this part a bit. So
|
|
you'll find three pages with only English words on it. O.K., let's start:
|
|
|
|
The main event in December for all German is the FCS Copyparty on the 5th of
|
|
December 1987. Fantasy from FCS told me that the following people announce
|
|
their visit: POPEYE / HOTLINE, F4CG, TAU, HULK + MALARIA, DOMINATORS,
|
|
PAPILLONS, FAC, LAST SCIENCE and of course the German elite. What'll happen
|
|
there? When you hold this 'ILLEGAL' in your hands the party's already over,
|
|
'cause I decided to release it there. If you understand German a bit, read the
|
|
article 'Vorschau: FCS' and you can guess what'll be going on there.
|
|
|
|
Can you believe that some guys don't know what a 'telephone-conference' is? But
|
|
it's true that some people never heard of it before. For us, a conference is a
|
|
usual part of having friends in America, I think. At this place I want to send
|
|
some special greetinx to our conference guys, e.g.: BARNIE and GEORGE 'no gays
|
|
allowed, thank you' from CANADA, CHRIS and DAVE of TWGI in the States, MAD ALL
|
|
from CFR in 'little Belgium', NIK and MARK from IKARI, GEORGE 'also a black
|
|
dick' of SCOUSE, SLH from HOTLINE, (who holds the record with 4 conferences a
|
|
day), ROB 'the real Rob' from BB and all girls (who always talk toooo much).
|
|
It's impossible for someone, who had never heard of a conference, to imagine
|
|
that up to 20 (our record) people can talk at the same time, isn't it? You are
|
|
a poor pig, if you have never took part in a conference. Hear out for it!
|
|
|
|
Of course another great event this month will definately be the TRIAD -
|
|
FAIRLIGHT copyparty from the 18th to the 21st December in Gothenburg / Sweden.
|
|
But it's a question if many people will come, 'cause Sweden is too far out of
|
|
bounds from Germany, Holland, Belgium and so on. Denmark was the most central
|
|
place and will ever be I think, but let's wait for the results from Sweden's
|
|
best (and only?) groups!
|
|
|
|
|
|
INTERVIEW ON THE MONTH!
|
|
THIS TIME: MAD ALL / CFR
|
|
|
|
It's a great pleasure for us to interview MAD ALL, in his person the founder of
|
|
the COMMANDOFRONTIER. Read what he answered to our 10 questions!
|
|
|
|
JS: How old are you?
|
|
|
|
MA: Almost 20 (Shit - I'm old!)
|
|
|
|
JS: What computers do you own?
|
|
|
|
MA: 1st: ATARI ST (December '82)
|
|
2nd: TI (December '83)
|
|
3rd: C 64 (December '84)
|
|
4th one: Amiga (September '87)
|
|
|
|
JS: The founding date of CFR?
|
|
|
|
MA: I started CFR on 1/1/87!!!
|
|
|
|
JS: What were your first products?
|
|
|
|
MA: 1st crack: SHAOLIN'S ROAD (2/87)
|
|
1st demo: by Anubis + Lord Blitter in January '87!
|
|
|
|
JS: How many members does CFR have at the moment?
|
|
|
|
MA: All together they're 7! Black Label (22 years), Ram (18), Bubuland (18),
|
|
Dakota (17), Stef (18), The Jew (18) and me. All in Belgium. By the way, Human
|
|
(15) in Norway is starting his own group...
|
|
|
|
JS: How many contacts do ya have?
|
|
|
|
MA: We manouvered it down from 150 to 75. I personally have about 20 cool guys
|
|
on my list!
|
|
|
|
JS: Which game and which music do you love?
|
|
|
|
MA: My favourite game is INTERNATIONAL SOCCER and my music is ROCK and HEAVY
|
|
METAL (e.g. Iron Maiden, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Def Leppard etc.) And my TOP 3
|
|
movies are:
|
|
1. Blues Brothers
|
|
2. Animal House
|
|
3. Highlander
|
|
|
|
JS: Do you have some enemies in this rough world?
|
|
|
|
MA: We have no war with anybody and never had, although our name let something
|
|
different be supposed we are a people lovin group.
|
|
|
|
JS: What's going on with CFR?
|
|
|
|
MA: A sad thing: CFR will probably quit on the 64 as I'm the only member still
|
|
interested in the old 64. All our programmers have switched over to the Amiga,
|
|
but I will continue to trade on both machines. We have decided to give a last
|
|
to computer mass on the 64: We will make a mega demo called "The final" which
|
|
will be 'bout 1000 blocks long (200 K), so watch for it.
|
|
|
|
JS: What do you do in your freetime?
|
|
|
|
MA: When I'm not in front of a computer, I'm in front of a woman or on top or
|
|
underneath. Oh yeah, I go to parties a lot!
|
|
|
|
You see CFR haven't died yet! In the next 'ILLEGAL' you can read an interview
|
|
with RADWAR / TLC!
|
|
|
|
|
|
SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE!!!
|
|
|
|
O.K. let's return into the mother language of the real crackers: in German (bad
|
|
joke!).
|
|
|
|
Do you have your own copy of 'Western Games'? The idea from RADWAR was great to
|
|
send it only to faithful friends (thanx for your faith), but there was a lack
|
|
in the U.S.A., where the version was spread like hell. FAC and MCG imported it
|
|
back from the States and spread like idiots in the rest of the world. RWE #1,
|
|
FAC #0, MCG #0, the others #1!
|
|
|
|
Right below this, you can find the 'Riddle of the month' and I hope you enjoy
|
|
it. You can also find the dogs, eh sorry, the docs for it right below here.
|
|
Good luck for your mission!
|
|
|
|
The game of the month, if not of the whole year is, without doubts, 'COMBAT
|
|
SCHOOL' from OCEAN, who can really programme, if they want to. I suppose that
|
|
Ocean employs Drill instructors, who forced them to make such a great game. It
|
|
can be compared with the old 'Decathlon' or 'Hyper Sports' but it's much
|
|
better.
|
|
|
|
'WESTERN GAMES' from MAGIC BYTES had wounderful graphics, but unfortunately the
|
|
joystick movements are too difficult. 'INTERNATIONAL KARATE +' from SYSTEM 3
|
|
has raised the expectations for the forthcoming legend 'BANGKOK KNIGHTS',
|
|
'cause it's a horny and superb game! But there were also shadows between the
|
|
lights of good games, e.g. CLEVER AND SMART from MAGIC BYTES, which is much too
|
|
difficult to play. What a shame for that great name! RAMPARTS from GO! is also
|
|
too difficult and disappointing. What's the aim of that fucking rubbish called
|
|
'BASIL' from GREMLIN? The graphics are quite good, but I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
|
|
DO!?
|
|
|
|
So much to the games from that month. Detailed reviews in German language
|
|
available on the other pages, 'cause I used a lot of German expressions, which
|
|
are too difficult to translate! I hope you excuse it! This was it for now and
|
|
maybe I'm gonna put the next 'ILLEGAL' totally into English. What do you (yes,
|
|
you) think 'bout that? Here's my adress for any kind of criticism:

RIDDLE!

Here are the docs for the 'Riddle of the month': Search for the 27 cracker
|
|
groups among this labyrinth of letters. They can be found forwards, up, down,
|
|
backwards and even diagonal!
|
|
|
|
If you have found all 27 groups, check the characters, which are left. Print
|
|
them down from left-top up to right-bottom and then you found the solution.
|
|
Just try it! Good luck and Shoot 'em Up!

WHAT'S UP, GUYS?
|
|
|
|
I bet your dicks are up, aren't they? As in every month, I'm thinking about the
|
|
release date for the 'ILLEGAL 1/88', and what is better than the first
|
|
copyparty in the new year? You know, it's RADWAR's one, who celebrate their
|
|
existence for now over 2 years and the party will be, as usual for RWE,
|
|
something special. It will take its place on the 9th of January 1988 and it's
|
|
the best chance to release the next 'ILLEGAL' isn't it? In the issue 'Die Post
|
|
- Dien Freund und Helfer!?' we interviewed a German postman, because it was
|
|
necessary to get to know why the post is so angry at the moment. They always
|
|
want to see the passport of a 'PLK' owner, when they want to get their
|
|
packages, so read what the post says.
|
|
|
|
Wanna laugh? Read 'Amiga 500 Presentation' and 'Wie fliegt man schnell aus
|
|
einem Kaufhaus?' about our chaotic ideas and happenings at our largest shopping
|
|
center, where we cracked some jokes with the presentator of an Amiga 500, who
|
|
was official sended by Commodore and who presented some cracks on the Amiga as
|
|
the exciting games and where we made the shop assistant crazy by laughing on
|
|
the small kids on the computers and so on.
|
|
|
|
'New games approaching' contains an actual list of American products which
|
|
should make their way from the States to Europe as soon as possible (thanx to
|
|
SLH / HOTLINE for this list). And don't miss the game reviews and all the
|
|
charts.
|
|
|
|
Special fuckings are going to D.S.I. from FAC (Why could FAC take such idiots?)
|
|
for the attempt of stealing MAD ALL from CFR for their mugging of an own
|
|
magazine.
|
|
|
|
I never said that I was the first, who produced a cracker magazine, of course
|
|
it was DR.MABUSE with his 'SCHROTTPRESSE', but the 'ILLEGAL' is much different,
|
|
in my opinion. Hey, DR.M.! Where have you gone? But now, lots of arseholes are
|
|
stealing my ideas, and I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL (OF COURSE)...
|
|
|

MAD ALL'S MAILBOX
|
|
|
|
Hi! I'm MAD ALL from COMMANDOFRONTIER and each month I will take care of all
|
|
the gossip about the pirating scene, so if you have any gossip about you, your
|
|
group or any other group, please let me know immediately at this adress:
|
|
|
|
COMMANDOFRONTIER
|
|
PO BOX 406
|
|
8400 OOSTENDE
|
|
BELGIUM
|
|
|
|
BUT please don't use this column for fighting out your personal wars so don't
|
|
send me lies or bad things about your enemies. Well, it's gossip time, sorry
|
|
for only bringing you a small amount this month, but I had to get it all
|
|
myself, so hopefully you, the reader, will help me out!
|
|
|
|
- TRIAD have now a staggering 22 members, but I was assured that all non active
|
|
members will be kicked out.
|
|
|
|
- HUMAN has left CFR and joined two EX-RDI members to form his own group, the
|
|
name is of yet unknown, meanwhile CFR have replaced him with an unknown guy,
|
|
who seems to be talented enough. Hopes are high but CFR will still be as good
|
|
for demos as before? Only time will tell.
|
|
|
|
- HOTLINE will stop going to the Venlo meetings in Holland. They say that they
|
|
always bring the new stuff and have to travel a long way. From now on they will
|
|
hold their own copy-party a bit closer to their homes in Eindhoven.
|
|
|
|
- By the way, IKARI have promised to come over from England to the next Venlo
|
|
meeting in December. We're waiting.
|
|
|
|
- On the 5th of December, the day on which the FCS party will take place in the
|
|
capital of Germany, is a celebration day in Holland, thus lots of Dutch people
|
|
cannot come.
|
|
|
|
- It seems that HOTLINE have some war at the moment with MAD SQUAD (Ex-
|
|
Dreamteam).
|
|
|
|
- OUTRUN will be released two weeks before christmas, if one can believe US
|
|
GOLD.
|
|
|
|
- USSPE from AMERICA have joined forces with the TSK-CREW in Austria.
|
|
|
|
- Lots of 'ILLEGAL' - imitations make their way among the cracking scene, but
|
|
they are all a cheap copy of the 'ILLEGAL'.
|
|
|
|
- Well that's it for this month, so get your hot gossip to me so I can really
|
|
fill this column up. I WISH YOU A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
|
|
Yours...MAD ALL / CFR
