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? |

..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. |

knowing nothing and reading the facts posted here so far. My money is on a Swedish based c64 coder. But why hide their own name? |

Me too, although he hasn't revealed himself... yet. But as the scene-bloodhounds we are, we are closing in to you Beerlord, your killer games won't go unnoticed forever. Track by track, sector by sector - we're gonna pin you down, sucker. |
