How did you come up with your alias ?
I don't remember.
City / Country:
Copenhagen, Denmark
Born year:
1969
What was your first computer, and when did you get it?
First computer was a C64. Bought it by distributing moning papers every sunday morning for 3 months togther with my big brother (TSB, laters Magician 42) back in 1984 or 1985.
How did you get into the scene and what groups have you been a member of ?
It started when I went to others to get new games. I then I got an article published in Computer & Video Games in 1984/85 (can't remember it precisely) and got contacted by ABC Crackings in Holland. As he got the games extremely fast at that time (was probably one of the quickest crackers and importers in Europe at that time) he passed the games along to me. And nobody else had any of these games in Denmark then.
What was the proudest moment in your career ?
When I earned a hell of a lot of money :-)
For what specific reason(s) do you think that you are remembered ?
I could get the games extremely fast and spread them before anyone else in Denmark.
What would you like to be remembered for ?
Can't remember.
What made you stop the scene activity ? (and do you remember when?)
At the 5th of December 1987 I sold my computer and all the software, because it became to dangerous to sell and I had had my time with it.
Thinking back on the good old days, is there anything you regret?
It took to much of my time.
