Who did Killer Games?
This 2001 release - Killer Games - has puzzled me ever since it's release. Obviously it's made by someone who knows his way around a C-64, that's for sure. Just check out the "fire" in the intro, the spritestretchers, the bordercode and the spriteball-effect in the namechoosing screen. He is credited as Beerlord, but that doesn't ring a bell to me.
I'm quite sure that its origin is swedish, to judge from the names found in the intro and the highscore (Umm... Thomas Q, Carl Bildt, Fredrik, Niklas, Kukdavid, etc.) and the greeting to Talon (old member of Paragon).
Some suspicions goes towards old members of Paragon, DCS or Rizing, Quan (who released games under fake-handles before) or just any old swedish scener who got himself a X-1541 cable from STA during the summer of 2001.
The reason why i'm really is interested in this production is because the music really is awesome. Can anybody identify the player? Can anybody give me a lead on this strange production? Swedes? |

LOL.
Why not just contact Stormfront and follow the "paper trail" from there? |

This detective-work is way more amusing. :-) And as far as I remembered, this was one of those games which either just surfaced on a homepage. I might be wrong, though. Should contact Stormfront about it. |

ahout all these $dd00 / $dc0d / $d016 code patterns... have you ever thought that it sometimes makes sense to mask them out and sometimes you just dont care so use absolute values?? just to lead the investigation far away in the wrong direction ;) just a little hint (since coders evolve :D ), if you have a suspect you should check his/her code from the same period... do NOT compare it to early nor later code :) i myself started using absolute values when i started to code coz i simply didnt KNEW about masking out :) later i saw "masked out code" and thought "idiots" :D but thats is nearly 19 years ago by now ;) |

I once did a KILLER game, resembled TETRIS a lot. I mean, A LOT!!!!
Never released it though. Thought with all the TENGEN problems with nintendo, I should keep it to myself... So now.. It's lost.. Somewhere out there is my version of tetris...
The TENGEN version WAS the best.. Admit it.. Know it.. Always fear it.. |

..have no idea who made killer games, although i found it quite good fun. The level where the person is being slowly grinded into a pot was fun. Imagine that with really serious graphics. A blood splatered dungeon, like some scene out of (the rather over hyped) Hostel the film. |

Perhaps it's time to reveal some suspicions:
The examinators are now following the lead on the (in swedish) so-called "Rönningespåret". "Rönningespåret" is based on the fact that people mentioned in the scrolltexts and in memory are swedes, or atleast (by a funny coincidence) only people with swedish names. The reason why it's called "Rönningespåret" is that Talon is greeted. Talon was a member of the old swedish group Paragon, and is living in Rönninge, in a suburb of Stockholm. For you who aren't aware of that, Rönningescenen is a legendary cluster of sceners with connections to many Swedish groups.
Our main suspect is a person (who we by reasons of the integrity of the investigaton can't reveal) with closeties to "Rönningegänget". We have reasons to believe that he knows the aforementioned Talon. What furthermore binds him to the evidence is that his codestyle, in certain cases, binds him to Killer Games. More investigations need to be followed to its end first, and confrontations with the suspects and additional interviews are yet to be done. |
