....

ok guyz,hello and welcome to the amnesia interview #1.your interviewer tonite
is creed/eclipse.this interview took place on 28/10/91 on Crackhouse BBS in
Dublin.Its amazing what ami-express can do,ascii-capture-mega cool.nuff said
so on with the show Derek.

AArrrggh, how did I get talked into this. Ah well, The serious stuff first I
suppose:  Okay Barry what`s your first name?..
(
Ok first name Barry last name o donnell alias Green-Beret/PL/\GUE

Well I suppose we`d better ask the vital question and beg you to tell us how
it all started for you (You can leave birth out, by the way),?


ok guyz,it all started for me in 1982 when i first bought my c64 and tape
deck.for about 5 years i just played games and messed around with machine,then
i bought a disk drive in 1987 and started swapping.as is the case with most
people,i didnt give a damn how old the stuff was when i started swapping,but
then i realised that new stuff is most important if you wanna survive.Derek
Exocet/TNT as he was called then helped me out by supplying me with warez
which was cool.Joker/TNT was a good mate also.Then all was cool,in summer
1989,i placed ads in numerous c64 disk mags and zzapp 64 magazine and i got
140 replies and most of them were cool contax.most of my old c64 contax joined
the amiga scene and i started swapping with the.i bough my amiga 500 1.2 in
april 1988.the scene was lame in those days and for a while,the standard of
amiga warez was rubbish and i thought that the c64 was a much better
machine.Then all became cool,amiga warez improved,loadza groups joined the
scene and myself and Creed,gazzer,merlin,zed,kurgan formed an irish group
called TNT(THUNDERTRONIX) which lasted for a few months.I was a mega swapper
on the c64,still am and am a megaswapper on the amiga with 87 contax.i also
run the Plague BBS in Ireland called Crackhouse.Now the most important bit,i
cant code/do gfx/musak etc,but will hopefully get round to it someday.i hope
you all followed that.TNT joined UK group CRACK in June 1991 and Released 1
issue of AMNESIA under the CRACK label.Crack broke up in July 1991 and most
members including myself set up a new group called Plague but
Creed,Gazzer,Recoil,Darkman,Kurgan,Merlin & Zed joined Eclipse and that is the
way things are at the present time.

And lo the book closes once more ........ Okay How about some info. on your
Likes/ dislikes on the scene: Music , graphix, code , attitudes etc.

Ok firstly i haaattttteeee Vectors becoz i have seen them used too much in
demos.vectors are around since the early days of the amiga,wild copper
crew/trilogy were first to have them as far as i can remember,they have
changed little in the intervening period of time except for colour cycling in
them and different shapes etc.Bobs were the craze at one time and vectors are
the norm now.I would like more originality in the demo scene(pretty strange
coming from a guy who cant code but what the hell).I would like to see more in
the way of mathematical routines sine dots etc or whatever you call the.
Now onto my opinion of the music on the machine.In the early days,all tunes
were synth and nearly all sounded blue monday ish which for their time sounded
good.Now all the musak on the scene sounds realistic but too good a
quality,for some strange reason i hate that,dunno why,i would like to hear
more synth musak on the scene as all musak on the scene sounds the same at the
moment,xcept your musak of course Creed,which is gradually getting better and
better.BBSs are getting more popular by the day and that is cool for
everyone.hmm running outa things to type so back 2 u Creed.

And now the question we all want answered......Is your sister as sexy as her
voice ?

well she doesnt give that impression,but she will be going out with a nice guy
soon.ps:she will be doing gfx soon.

Shit, I`m always too late. Anyway, what age are you ?

i am 19 1/2 years old and will be 20 next June and what a mega party/pissup
there will be that night.next please.

Just to clarify this iinterview, Are you currently in a state of `Pissed out
of the Skulledness`?

no i have got a bad hangover at the moment as you could tell when i called u
earlier.ps:readers i get pissed quite a lot as was the case when
Gazzer/Eclipse was trying 2 give me a coding lesson last Friday night
(25/10/91).I had 3 Vodkas and 3 pints of Beer and really pissed the poor guy
off.HA HA Gazzman.

Absolutely awful, the youth of today........ So just who are the people you
mist respect on the AMY, best contacts etc.?

mist respect or most respect,most respect i presume.I respect all the dudes on
the Irish scene who are trying to make a scene,in particular the guyz
responsible for Amnesia magazine who have 2 get this magazine together and get
it spread around.I also respect Alchemist/Plague,thanks for all the help with
BBS m8,and of course all Plague members.Gazzer is getting there coding wise
after spending alot of time coding,good stuff and keep up the good work and
that applies to yourself Derek also.cheers.

There are some places flattery can`t get you, AMNESIA isn`t one of them.

Okay what sort of music do you generally lust after?

Well i like some of depeche modes musak/new order and more importantly the
craze of 2day -R  A  V  E- techno musak which i luv.xcellent stuff.pity the
rave scene isnt bigger in Dublin though.Thanks 4 all those Techno tapes
MR.INTERVIEWER Creed.Most appreciated.

Well seeing as you also do a fair amount of VID- trading why don`t you tell us
something about that, fave films etc.

ok i love violent films,comedies.i like actors like
Swartzeneger,stallone,dolph lundgren.I recently saw Backdraft/Terminator
II/Jacobs ladder and they are cool films.I have only got 2 videos contax so
write 2 me now dudes.->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well I asked about your sis. so I suppose it`s only fair that I ask you about
your own taste in females.

well,my female scene is crap at the moment,i am just to lazy,i have missed a
couple of chances and i regret that,especially not bothering 2 ask Lisa from
Office Public Works out,i went out 4 a cool night out with herself and a
work colleague but as regard after that,it the same with everybody,how 2 put
that question to her,thats my problem,i guess i should just go 4 it,as if i
leave it any longer i will be too old,must get round to asking her out soon b4
its too late.Karl(ZED/Eclipse) did well and is going out with a nice bird at
the moment.My life is boring at the moment,my computer substitutes for a
girlfriend so i must change that soon.Thats about it.You are a real nice Girl
Lisa so i hope you are reading this.>>>>>>>>>>>>

Remind me never to borrow your equipment....... (What you do to it in place of
a girl I`ll never know, never want to know). So Barry, as the curtain falls on
this interview is there anything else you want to add?

Not really except,greetz go 2 all my contax worldwide and BBS friends and of
course 2 a nice guy like yourself for spending you time interviewing me.I must
apologize to the viewers if they found my answers boring but i have the
effects of a hangover so n-joi the rest of the magazine guyz and all the best
in the future.L8R

And so ends our expose of the sordid life of the Irish Mega-Swapper,
and......(Stifled `Thud`). Thanx for reminding me the curtain was falling!
Bloody heavy things............ Tune in next Ish, for an interview with his
holiness the pope speaking on the state of Yak affairs in outer mongolia (?).
Do not adjust your mind, reality is at fault.
                                                        CreeD & Green Beret.
