Galaxy (-1989)
--------------
Galaxy was a german cracking group, with some swedish members. The group
broke up as their members left for other groups; Toad (ex Share) and
Mr.Stack both went to Paramount after a brief stay in Abyss; Dr.Cool and Nam
apparently joined Virgin (though I have conflicting information that he
joined Censor Design in december 1989...). Westbam also left.
  Thanks to NiM (formerly Toad) for information!


Galicya (GLC, 1995-)
--------------------
POL> Adon (Marcin Pagowski, gfx, early-late95), Archangel (Krzysiek
     Tomaszewski, swap, early-late95), Blaze (Miachl Domarus, crack swap,
     also in Alpha Flight 1970, early-09/95), Gloin (gfx, early-late95), Hey
     (code, late95), Incognito (code, early-late95), Mr.Fiz (code, early-
     late95), Nazgul (Jarek Jedrzejczyk, gfx paperart, early-late95), Nylu
     (gfx, late95), Praiser (Wojciech Wardynski, org music, later Onsalught,
     early-late95), Scarlet (code music, early95), Sony (?, early95), Talbot
     (Jakub Hajek, gfx paperart, early-late95), Tiamat (swap, late95),
     Zombie (Damian Pdraza, code, early-late95).

Galicya was a polish group under the leadership of musician Praiser. From
circumstancial information, I believe they were formed late 1994 and
released their first stuff early 95.

  Relaxed Style (1995, early, Filedemo).
  code: Mr.Fiz, Zeor/Free Man Laboratories, gfx: Zeor/FML, Ollie/Chorus
  (introfonts), music: Praiser.
  review: Just like "Earth", this starts with the choice of a note or the
  production itself. This claims to be the first ever production from
  Galicya - in cooperation with Free Man Laboratories this time. This was
  also released in 95, but probably before "Earth" since it announces that
  Praiser, Zeor (who formed FML, as mentioned) and Scarlet are no longer
  members of Samar, but are in this group. The dentro itself is nothing
  spectacular, essentially a two-effect affair. The first concerns just a
  'filter' the action seen through, in an effort to make a twirling line
  seem exciting =) The other is a much more interesting one, an original an
  wellconceived variation on the shadebob theme - with the shades being
  dissolved pixel by pixel after a time. Looks nice, and has a horizontal
  endscroller overlaid. Again, I have trouble with Praiser's music. [glenn]

  Earth - Talbot's First Logo Collection (1995, early, Multiload Slideshow).
  code: Zombie, Morris (note), gfx: Talbot, Ollie/Chorus (introfonts),
  music: Praiser (2tunes, both $1000).
  review: The first thing you see is a plain textscreen, from where you can
  choose to see a note (coded by Morris, presumably Morris/Agony, since
  noone by that name appears on the memberlist) or load the slideshow.
  Praiser's music for both is problematic for this reviewer; the note tune
  is monotonous, while the main tune suffers from a much too dominant
  bassline and rhythm, making what melody there is drowning in the 'mix'.
  The note is mediocre, seemingly trying a different approach with its
  squares, but ending up looking a little confusing for it. The show itself
  opens with a few screens of text in a big font, fading in and out before
  the logos start appearing. Talbot mentions himself that some of them are
  the very first ones he made, and on some of them - that shows. Most are a
  little 'samey', and you can almost see him working from logo to logo,
  trying out new approaches and techniques. These are very much the logos of
  an amateur, lacking the flair of more experienced artists, but also shows
  some talent towards the end. He needs to work on color-use however, with
  basically the same kind of 'palette' reused for too many of the examples
  provided.
    This was reviewed from a version placed on a disk called 'GALICYA WAREZ
  #1', dated april 1995. The production itself carries no release date, just
  a mention that it was to be released in december, but appears now - so any
  month from january to april is a good guess. It uses Exprolet/Agony's IRQ
  loader, and Hain/Elysium's depack system. [glenn]

Genesis Project are a demo and cracking group, based in germany but with
sections in several countries. Shortly after Motley returned, there were
rumours that he joined RSI. These are unconfirmed.
  1989 - Late in the year, Sentinel left to build his own legal team, Icon
Arts [no entry]. Also Boozer, Olle and Hires left the group due to problems
with the police, instead busying themselves coding games for Amok. The group
was reinforced with Stinger/Transcom. Wawen joined from Warriors of Time
briefly in december, but soon moved on to Dynamix instead.
  1990 - Their cooperation with Crazy ended around february, but they gained
swiss member Cyberpunk. In may, coder Raistlin (Robert Troughton, ex Oneway)
left the group due to a lack of time. He later joined Amok. English musician
Deek became a member of Vibrants in july, while still also being in GP. In
august, Cyberpunk moved on to Illusion. Lumberjack left the c64 scene in
december. Also in december, they recruited two new German coders in the
shape of SES/Fear and Typhoon/Future Technologies. Damien was kicked out due
to lameness in december. Ninja joined Dominators, also in december. News in
Censor's "Fatal News #7" [09/90] that he left the group would seem to be
false. Deek made the music for games like "Thomas The Tank Engine" and "The
Race" this year. In december Slight, Chouans, Spirit, Milios, Mig, Punisher
and Jity all joined from Transcom.
  1991 - January saw germans Jack Daniels and 3DK join from Paramount with
their popular diskmag "Corruption", a major boost for the group. Also in
january, Snacky was hired by Digital Marketing to make a new kind of copy
protection for them! The product is reportedly called "Neuro-Protect". March
saw the joining of Steam Hammer (swap). Also early in the year, Zorlac/The
CFA was recruited to take over Kampftrinker's job, since he quit. The ninth
(and first for GP) issue of "Corruption" was released in april. Also in
april, Veda left the scene.
  1992 - Sting and Maniac joined from Elite around february, but one day
later Maniac was kicked out again since they only really wanted Sting. This
same month brought news the The Goblin returned to the scene, that Rockstar
returned from the army, that Veto (the artist responsible for the graphics
in games like Rolling Ronny and Second World) joined, that Steamhammer
(swap, new 03/91) was kicked, that Blue Thunder/X-Large changed his handle
to LA Style and joined as a modemtrader and original supplier, that Deek and
Bizzmo left the scene after releasing their final demo "Paradize 91", that
Janec was caught for phreaking and finally that Fgth (code crack, 90-01/91)
left the scene.
  1993 - Motley was caught by the Police in january. Antichrist and
Sorceress got married early in the year! Sorceress will soon have 'MYSTIC
CAVERN' up again. Lots of people joined in may! Walker joined after a few
days in Active, Airwolf/SCS joined, Aslive joined, Greenfrog joined and
Tyger returned. In october, L.A.Style announced he was leaving for the SNES
scene - the fate of his board is still undecided. The group also recruited
Allanon (crack) and Dr.Acid/Extend this month.
  1994 - Lots of things happened in the month of september; former members
Satan and Ray (crack) returned from their memberships in X-Rated; The Goblin
(supply) joined (identical to their previous member The Goblin in 1990?);
The Punisher (crack, originally joined from Transcom in december 1990)
returned to the scene and to GP; Techno (crack supply) joined, and finally
after losing 'THE DUNGEON', 'MENACE 2 SOCIETY' is the new whq. Scope came
2nd in The Party 94 graphics competition.
  1995 - Swedes Newscopy (swap), Walker (swap, ex Active, new 05/93-), Scope
(gfx, ex Triad, new 93-) and Motley (crack) all left for F4CG around
january, and this was certainly a blow for the group. Some mags even hinted
it had meant their death... Polish Techno (crack supply, new 04/94) left for
SCS-TRC around september.

  Trust Your Eyes (1991, 07.01, Multifile Demo).
  Cooperation with Crest [details]

  Corruption #9 (1991, late.04, Multifile Diskmag).
  code: Codemonster (main), Frankieghost (intro), gfx: Scrap (logo, chars),
  Bizzmo (icons), music: Deek, editors: Jack Daniels, 3DK.
  review: This is the first issue of Corruption released under the GP label,
  after the two main editors left Paramount. It opens with a pretty ok
  intro, where the first text that appears is synced to the great music.
  Otherwise it's pretty ordinary, and a press of the space bar enters the
  mag itself. The menu is icon-driven, controllable with joystick or cursor
  keys (though the cursors strangely seemed more responsive?). A swift press
  of return or fire loads and decrunches the first article. Loading times
  are quite acceptable. The text itself scrolls vertically, and is
  controlled with the joystick at two different speeds. The content of the
  mag itself is fair, with quite a lot of news. Ofcourse, with four months
  between this and the last issue, that would be expected. The fonts are
  functional, and has good readability. Otherwise there's a party report, an
  interview with an American sysop and suppplier, and the usual 'letters to
  the editor' etc. The swinging Corruption logo at the top of the screen was
  a little unnecessary, though. It's nicely drawn, but ultimately a
  distraction from the reading experience. A fair issue. [glenn]

Glory [new] (1994-)
-------------------
Glory is an american fixer group, that made a comeback after a long absence
in september of 1994. Their starting member roster was Thor, Master Kracker
and Shark, and their first release was a fix of a game from the equally
brand-new cracker group Hardcore.

SWE> Fozzie (music, 05/93).
HOL> Diamond (Remco Nieuwen Huizen, swap, also in Inzane, 95).

  1993 - Eliz joined Antic early this year.


Graffity Produkt (GRF)
----------------------
HUN> Brian (Farkas Balazs, code music, also in The Imperium Arts, 90-
     12/96), Calt (Gabor Bolla, 02/92-12/96), Cheesion (12/96), Clarence
     (code, 12/96), Cybortech (gfx, 12/96), Jay (12/96), Ollie (gfx, 12/96).

The people below this line are no longer members, the line was drawn at a
memberlist published in the "Higher Love" [12/96] demo.

HUN> Andrew John Fletcher (Adam Daviovics, code gfx music swap, aka Andy,
     90), H19 (Zsolt Rozsnyai, swap, 90), Hepido (91), Jay (91), Matrix
     (91).

Graffity is a hungarian demo group. Brian coded the sample editor DigiEditor
V1.3 (90), and several versions of the Demo Music Creator (DMC).
  1993 - In the first few months of the year, Brian decided to join the
musiclabel The Imperium Arts as his second group, and contributed quite a
few tunes to their release of "Zakplayer 3.2" [04/93].
  1996 - Bogyo joined Breeze late in the year. They released their comeback
demo "Higher Love" [12/96] at The Party.

  Higher Love (1996, 28.12, Multifile Demo).
  code: Clarence, gfx: Ollie (main), Cybortech (pic, endlogo), music: Brian,
  Taki/Natural Beat, Peet/ex Chorus. 5th in The Party 96 demo competition.
  review: "Higher Love" is a short little demo with some interesting parts,
  worth mentioning. It opens with some quite amazing hires interlace
  graphics for the introduction sequence, before a few ok effects make up
  the rest of the demo. The ones worth mentioning are a supposedly new
  graphics system/resolution they call "Advanced Hires" (but fail to explain
  just why is so revolutionary), some vector spheres (akin to what was done
  on the amiga in 93, when they were so popular) and finally 400 vectordots
  making up a globe of sorts. They do claim 1000 dots a little later, but
  those look more like lines than dots to me guys...
    The note that accompanies the demo was written in a noter called
  Cadgers-Noter V3.0, done by Clarence/Cadgers. I guess it's fair to assume
  that it's the same Clarence that coded this demo... Music in the note is
  an exclusive tune by Fanta/Bass/Oxyron called "Clarencia". [glenn]


Greaser
-------
SWE> Anuba (swap, 07/90), Perch (swap, 07/90), Ra (swap, 07/90).


Gridpoint Developments (1993-1993)
----------------------------------
Gridpoint was formed in may of 1993 by Danish brothers Duke (gfx editor, ex
Dominators) and Dr.Zivago (code gfx). After releasing the first issue of
"The Pulse" in june, they both left the group for Pandora, where all
subsequent issues were released. The group ceased to exist, with only one
release to their credit.

  The Pulse #1 (1993, .06, Multifile Diskmag).
  code: Dr.Zivago, gfx: Dr.Zivago (logo), Duke (charset), music: Johannes
  Bjerregaard/independent, editors: Duke (main), Psychobilly/Red Sector
  Inc., Brego/Red Sector Inc.
  review: Remarkably wellwritten, though perhaps a little short, The Pulse
  comes across as a magazine with quality editorial content. It launches you
  straight into the first page of the magazine, with no mucking about, and
  the JB music is also good. The top of the screen is graced with a THE
  PULSE logo that could have been a lot better than it is, but still not
  embarassingly bad. It's just...so standard. But the overal impression of
  this first issue is very good. It's nice to read news that mean anything
  again, not just 'xx joined yy'. Promises lots for the future. [glenn]


Groovy Bits
-----------
SWE> Danko (music), Karl XII (Patrick Wallström, code, ex Science 451 or
     Sphinx).

Groovy Bits were a swedish demo group, most known for their musicians and
their music routines. Late may 1989, Karl XII was on a swedish television
program, where he exposed phreaking to the world at large. The Swedish scene
reacted very badly to his appearance, and he was flamed a lot in cracktros
from e.g. Fairlight after this.
