THE ILLEGALS ARE ALL HERE! ISSUES #22 THROUGH #38!

Yes, after several months of hard work trying to balance "having a LIFE" and typing in old ILLEGAL issues, we've finally made it. OK, so technically they're not all there... Issues before #22 were in German only and generally considered "out of touch" with the real scene. Jeff Smart got busted after releasing #37, but made another issue, #38 after he resolved his problems with the police. This became the final issue...

OK, with this task behind us we can now concentrate on adding other features to this site, such as more photos and screen captures of famous intros, demos and games. Also we'd like to feature a story on each of the major groups present at the time... The sky's the limit. OK, go take a look now!

"ILLEGAL" !? WHAT THE HELL... !)(/"#/!

OK, for all you "touchy" people out there we'd like to point out that "The FairLight ILLEGAL Archives" aren't "ILLEGAL" in the true meaning of the word. "ILLEGAL" was a popular fanzine which appeared in the late eighties, and covered the cracking scene on C64 and Amiga.

We do not take any responsibility for the contents. The fanzine has been reproduced as closely as possible. This means that some spelling errors are left in, since the Germans never did quite learn how to spell.
