My mods only exist on tape these days, but maybe ill hook the deck up and throw some of my old mods up as mp3's sometime. The only crack I was ever involved with was populous 2 .... we took it from a 3 disc game to a 1 disc game, with trainer... collaborative event between The Troopers (my first group) and China Syndrome.... The group split after that. Major releases were The REd Sector Kit discs and 3 Extras discs as licenseware from PD Soft in Essex, and the Real 3D Extras discs - also licenseware.
Also some of you may have come across our copier... "Piracopy", using ARS technology lol ..... "Advanced Replication System" or sumthin lol ... copied Obitus anyhow, and that was a real bitch of a game for protection.
Lots of fun.......
Wonder if any of you made it to the 1992 Anarchy hosted CopyParty at Bridgewater... hmmm

It's funny that I also started out copying thousand of games for both C64 and Amiga, and now later I'm a fanatical anti-pirate with only original software, original cds, movies and only original games for all my systems.

Chubby Chip Chip?
Oh that reminds me, I was in Anthrox too. And also briefly in a group called Qube. We had an awesome graphics artist whose handle was Havok (his real name was Steve I believe). I wonder what happened to him?

Hehe -- wonder if that's available online somewhere? Most of your tunes seem to be on back2roots.org, I shall take a look.

You know, I've no idea. I wondered several times what happened to him too but he seems to have vanished without trace (or changed his handle). There are a few people on Friends Reunited that could be him but I refuse to pay them five quid for an email address...
Never was really in a demo group or anything on the C64. I was in Mental Image on the Amiga - a shareware games making group. We came out with a couple of game disks; one was just released into the Shareware world and the second was on the front of Amiga Power magazine.

What games did you do? I might have seen some of them!
Views in my posts are my own and not necessarily that of Auto Assembly
Me and my chums set up the group Computer World (named after the Kraftwerk track) way back in the Compunet era and I released a few demos onto the Net. My Batmania demo got some quite high votes I seem to remember - and I also did a "hi-res" demo and "lo-res" demo (wooow) which basically featured loads of game sprites on a pic and a scrolly message.
I then joined the UK demo group Xentrix and did a few bits of gfx, logos and scrolltexts for them.
I was then asked to join Cosine by TMR - so I did! And I'm still a member to this day. Yay!
Oh, and a I ran a little PD library called Binary Zone too ...
And released a couple of games on my Psytronik label ...
