Looking for more disks/d64s?

Been a while since we asked around for more disks and d64s, so I think I would repeat the request.

We are looking for more disks or contact with people who already transferred their disks. We are trying to find more stuff from any kind of releases (cracks, demos, mags etc.). Our main goal is to preserve all the releases from the past.

We can also help transferring the disks if you got them yourself. We borrow the disks, transfer them and return them to the owner with a digital copy (on cd/dvd)

Also if you are in contact with other people who got disks with stuff, then we would be happy if you could help us getting in contact with them.

Contact cba, acidchild, mdz or me if you can help.

I got lots of cracks that are not on CSDb yet... I already looked through half my disks, and picked out the stuff I like.. (i.e. barely any cracks, as that's not interesting for me...) :_) mace.. we gotta find a way to get those disks to you :_)

I've got quite a bunch of UK stuff from 198?-1990 which are not on here yet.
Recently I put a large amount of them on CSDB the last couple of days, by this I've managed to complete scanning all disks in one large box, leaving me another 3 large boxes to go. (1 large box = ~200 disks)

Group-wise, I believe I have some wares from the following UK groups:

- Scouse Cracking Group
- Ikari
- Doughnut Cracking Service
- Cleveland Cracking Service
- Pyrotech
- New Formula Crew
- ... and many other unknown/small groups.

I also have a couple demos make by Raistlin/G*P which are not on here yet.

Some time in the future I'll take some time out to put these on csdb, unless someone does it before me ;)

Thanks for the great uploads here. Releases from the UK groups are hard to find.

Many of the groups lived their own life in UK and didnt have much contact outside UK.

You are both absolutely right. Most unknown UK crackers did seem to be isolated when they cracked games. afaik there were also a couple from Ireland which nobody have heard of.

Take Pyrotech for example, most of their cracks are those shitty SEUCK games, even though they seem to have pride in cracking them back then, hense their very nice looking intro before it.

Hey, that also makes my father a lamer as the guy who sold him the disks at a bootsale (which I have now had for the past 17 years) was a swapper of some unknown group. :D

Back in 88/89 there was no problems for normal groups to release SEUCK games, but it changed afterwards.

Also with your uploads people can see that Pyrotech did other releases than SEUCK games.
