Finding out about old c64 groups....
Hey everyone...
I recently scored quite a bit of .t64's, but that's not my question here..
One of the releases was Zamzara (one of my all-time favorites). So I figured, what the hell and loaded it up. It was cracked by some group or guy called YATTERKING, even has an intro and trained quite well (i think +7 or 8). Does anyone have any information about this person or group, as they are not listed here.

Ahh you mean the Yattering which were a guy from UK and a special guy. It was Tri-Dos playing hide and seek.
In the last Illegal issue you can read the text about The Yattering |

That would be The Yattering.
Sure it was Tri-Dos? If so, a merge would be in place. |

If you check Issue 38 of Illegal Tri-Dos wrote the following text. As I understand it then Tri-Dos and The Yattering is the same person.
NOBLE CROSSING
When a rumor went around originally started by STEVE of ZENITH that when I was in IKARI I got some guy to always crack games for me. Anyway there was no truth but some people went on about it like even NIK of IKARI. Well I quit the C64 and IKARI and then returned several months later in PANINARO with BAMBAM, PACO, MAGNETIC/USA, FALCO, a guy called YATTERING and myself. And it was myself and YATTERING who done the cracks.
Then rumors started to go 'round again that YATTERING did all the cracks and dickheads like SHARK of INC would go around saying he did all the cracks, and I was just a spreader. Well, he was right! It was both TRI-DOS and YATTERING, the same person and not even the other members in PANINARO know this, so all you people with your false claims were true in their own right, but it looks as if you've been doublecrossed. /PAUL (TRI-DOS)

Whenever I do a search here, I always try alternative names (with THE, without). Amazing how I was unable to find this person.
I am a bit depressed that I can't convert the .t64 image though. I will try to upload the file without an image, and let someone else take care of that, even though I dislike doing that (style's dirmaster will convert the t64 to a t64, but not a .d64). I'm not sure why that is, maybe it's something I can ask in the future though.
Since I've been with the c64 (early 1989), I've never seen this group. I thought I scored with the release. Although it's not on 'the base', it will be shortly.
Thanks for your help guys..
PS. I swear the logo in the intro say YATTERKING, not YATTERING!!!! (it was 2am in the morning, that's my excuse)

Heh, funny how my claims from 18+ years ago still pop up now and then.
I never fully bought Tri-Dos's explanation but that's the dickhead part of me. :) I'd be interested in what Relax Design members had to say about the matter as The Yattering was in their group in 1988. If they confirm that YAT = Tri-Dos, then the matter is closed in my mind. I've always suspected The Yattering was the man behind the curtain doing the hard stuff for Tri-Dos. This wouldn't be unheard of. Ian of Fusion had one of his mates do most of the cracking while the world assumed Ian was the man, for example. |

I always heard Skreemer was the real leader of INC, Shark was just a poser.

You've all been doubled crossed again. OEP (One Eyed Pirate) and myself are the same person, and I am finally revealing this now. One-Eyed Pirate is the name I've given to my penis. Although never a member of INC, it was smart enough to run a BBS. :)
In summary, Shark's Penis = One-Eyed Pirate |

The Shark was also known as "The Butcher" because of what he'd
do to his penis every night alone. |

OK.. Now were at it, DOM was a one man crew. I`ve always had a split personality.
Sorry, had to let it out! =)

Apologies for the 6 year thread necro :) But after a session of bored googling about my past 'identities', I discovered this thread and other info that has some inaccurate info.
Firstly, things I'm not. I was not the same person as Tri-dos and I'm also not "The Mega Yat" either. I was also not in "Relax Designs", just checking with the demos listed here for Relax Designs show no reference to "The Yattering" at all as far as I can see, so I'm somewhat confused why I'm listed there.
Secondly, I was also A.S.C.I.I. which I believe is listed here too.
And finally, Tri-Dos (Paul). Paul was a friend who lived a few streets from me. He loved the mail trading and the scene stuff, but couldn't code at all and hence couldn't crack. As you surmised, he had someone do that for him, mostly me, but possibly another local friend too. For a good while I was happy to let him take all the credit, because I didn't want to deal with trading and the scene, etc.
But eventually he got far to cocky about the whole thing and I started to insist on some credit, etc and started the Yattering name and joined him in Paninaro, etc. But I was still happy for him to take some credit. But I believe someone in the scene found out, possibly when he had a scene 'friend' (colin/clive?, too long ago to remember for sure) visit him and I met him once and he worked out what was really happening. I have no idea if it was him who leaked it or not, but Paul released that message claiming to be both Tri-Dos and The Yattering to try to stop his credibility from taking a hit and it seems quite a lot of people believed him :)
I have no memory of how/why/when it all ended, but Paul had gotten more and more into drugs and I wanted to have less and less to do with him. To the best of my knowledge he died a few years back, possibly/probably drugs related.
Shortly after all this I moved from cracking games to writing them, which I'm still doing today.

I've only just connected myself back to this old 'handle' and I'm still not sure if I want to associate it with my real life, we'll see.... :)
Thanks for the info on linking my account. |

Yeah, unfortunately, much of paul's/tri-dos's life had it's sad parts. After leaving the c64 scene, I lost direct contact, but I saw him around town every couple of years, he'd say hello, etc but he was living a life of hard drugs and it clearly showed unfortunately.
As for his death, I'm probably 95-99% sure. It's something like 8-10 years ago now and I only learnt of it second hand, but it was via friends of his family. |

I would have sworn that Tri-Dos moved onto the Amiga and was kind of active there for a bit, but my memory isn't what it used to be. Perhaps this is him again trolling us old codgers. |

So now we have two A.S.C.I.I. sceners;
A.S.C.I.I.
and
A.S.C.I.I.
The last one is created 2 days ago by The Yattering himself.
The Yattering, was A.S.C.I.I. part of The Cult and were you active on the C64 in 1986 and 1987? |

Awesome story! 27 years later the truth is revealed. Someone need to link Tri-Dos with this info. |
