Interview
Handle: Liteace
How did you come up with your alias ?
Well, people have always accused me of stealing it from a Toyota, but I made actually it up myself and then later discovered that Toyota also named one of their vans Liteace.
City / Country:
Silkeborg / Denmark
Born year:
1972
What was your first computer, and when did you get it?
Commodore VIC-20 and I believe I got it in 1983.
How did you get into the scene and what groups have you been a member of ?
I can't really remember how I got into the scene. I guess it was when I started making some really poor demos on the 64 that only contained music (ripped from a game) and then a simple scroll.
The first 'real' group I was a member of was The Game Busters 1541. Then I was member of several other groups whose names I have forgotten about long ago, but I ended up being a member of the 2000 A.D. Then I bought an Amiga and joined Dexion.
What was the proudest moment in your career ?
At the BAmiga Sector One party where our Mega Demo 1 won the competetion. We worked long and hard on the party to finished before the deadline, both Mega Mind and I worked for 36 hours with no sleep.
For what specific reason(s) do you think that you are remembered ?
AcePlotter! A demo I made on the C64. I still meet people who, when I tell them my handle, can remember me for that demo. I even saw the AcePlotter demo on an internet site recently, together with a lot of other cool demos (I believe the site was called SharkBite ! Real nice site)
What would you like to be remembered for ?
For contributing to the C64 and Amiga scene! Or something !?!??
What made you stop the scene activity ? (and do you remember when?)
Basically I grew up !
Thinking back on the good old days, is there anything you regret?
I regret being so fucking arrogant !!! As I mentioned above, I recently saw one of my own demos from the C64, and the scroll text was the most arrogant bullshit I ever read. I think that was just the tone at that time, but still a bit stupid!
