• invitation Atari ST Outline 2008 mini invite by Dead Hackers Society [web]
• I should actually be thumbing this down because Outline invitations are not supposed to be released until 1 day before the party, but since it's such a cool intro I'll make an exception here ;-)

• demo MS-Dos/gus Faces by Nostalgia [web]
• Scout: It was a bit vague but from what I understood there was an IRQ conflict between our gus player and a beamer driver that was needed on the DOS machine. We had borrowed Acme's gus player so both Acme's and our demo was disqualified for the same reason.

• wild Animation/Video Anthology by Dune
• I wonder if there is any difference between this version and the one that was shown at Outline'07 because I don't see any :-)
  
  But yes, really great anim at the end, worth the thumb up.

• You know you're dealing with old stuff when someone can safely call himself "The Pirate" without being lame because he's simply the first to do so :-)

• cracktro Commodore 64 berlin bear by Berlin Cracking Service
• hitch: do you even read what I quoted a few messages up, Alien said in an interview that a father of a classmate of him who worked at apple could get one in 1982.
  
  Secondly, there is also the original 1982 version at CSDb.
  In fact, some commentors on the HERO page are also referring to that 1982 intro.

• cracktro Commodore 64 berlin bear by Berlin Cracking Service
• hitch: I'd still like to hear what Alien has to say on it. Cracktros are often reused so the original intro may still be from 1982. On this site there is also a person who claims the intro was used first in 1982.

  This intro was used 1982 first. As far as I remember HERO was released by Lord Vader/Plutonium Crackers (PC)) in 1984. Look at Lord Vader 01 intro. All this BCS,Lord Vader,PC,Cracking Force Berlin,Antitrax people are the same small bunch. Cops have been confused too. :=)
  

  
  
  Also, in Freax, Tomcat quotes an interview with MWS/Radwar in the paperzine Illegal (issue 30, 1988) where MWS states that the German Cracking Service started cracking around 82/83, so the year 1982 could be right.

  Quote:

  
  The very first cracks were done by 1103 aka OJO (Oliver Joppich). He later became the "J" in JEDI. This was the time of OTD, Oleander, Kotzbrocken (later in JEDI,GCS), Antiram, Headbanger, Schweinepocke, ADJ and a few more. But there were no intros in front of the cracks. It was common to name the disk or to inscribe it in the in-game high-score tables, but no intros.
  
  The first intro was a picture of the Berlin Bear from the city flag and was released by BCS in 1982. It was a kind of co-production by several people and may look absurd today, but it was a different time.

  1982: I did some coding on an Atari, which I sold. It was an adventure parser and a painting tool done in Basic. The money I earned was my way to the C64, meaning the archived Atari financed my first C64. A positive moment for me was when the father of a classmate who was working for Apple, was able to through his connections, obtain a C64 on Christmas 1982. Now on the C64 I started to work with my classmate CJW (later Hurricane) as a team. Plutonium Crackers 2001 (PC) was born.
  
  Some weeks later our best friends Don and CPU joined our small crew and this inner circle of four people remained the same ever since. Other members like Lord Vader (who did most of the BCS cracks) and Extermer were also joining early in the piece. Extermer, our musician back then did tunes for games like Turrican 1, Rock'n Roll and many more. Search for "Stoned Mozart Tune" on CSDb and you'll find out what Extermer was able to do in the early 80s.
  
  Some of our close friends/posse in Berlin started their C64 scene-careers nearly at the same time. I'm speaking of Cracking Force Berlin (CFB) later a member of Flash Cracking Group (FCG) and Berlin Cracking Service (BCS). We all kept closely connected over the years and we still are friends, 24 years later.
