The Mercenary Cracker - Charles Deenen
Ok, I found some quite crappy demos from 1991, they're called Game Music I - X. They were obviously made by The Mercenary Cracker (aka Charles Deenen /MON). As I know that Charles Deenen was one of the founders of Maniacs of Noise (back in 1987 IIRC) and has been producing high quality music ever since I find it quite hard to believe that the same person wanted to draw the attention to himself with crappy demos containing game-music rips in 1991.
So: Was there another TMC or are they one and the same? |

;-))))) I dion't know the answer to your question, however, everyone was starting somehow. You weren't walking on 2 legs all the time, in past you were lousy baby crawling around your mommy making poo anytime you needed to ... you know what. |

Yeah, sure, one can't really be against it if people do not produce _that_ advanced stuff on their first steps. That was not what I was aiming at anyway. :-)
It's just the fact that these demos were done *after* he was member of MON and Scoop. And he was kind of desperately trying to draw the attention of the famous crackergroups FAC, ABC and others to him. I was just wondering... ;-) |

1991 doesnt concern the release year.
In the middle of the 80s it was hip in the scene to add a year display to your handle / group name, e.g.
TMC 1991
RADWAR ENTERPRISES 1941
WARRIORS OF DARKNESS 1933
JEDI 2001
ALPHA FLIGHT 1970
These four digit numbers were often used for the basic SYS lines of the demos/cracks people released.
TMC's demos were probably from 1986.

Hehe, that's most probably the best explanation for this. The demos with the music rips look like mid-eighties anyway...

Erm... why not? =)
I didn't bother checking if they're on some ftp already (got them from a friend via e-mail).
I'll check and upload them and add them to CSDb later on. |

Charles Deenen = The Mercenary Cracker. Why he would make such lame demos? First of all, the Game Music series are CLASSICS, and secondly, this is where he started of. He got interested in music, couldn't compose himself yet, so he ripped and spread those music demos (like everybody else in those days) -- desperately wanting to join FCG (which he later did).
It's worth mentioning that Charles himself isn't too fond of those demos, but you gotta start somewhere.
And Rough is right, everyone had numbers in those day. 1001, 1941, 1103, 2001, 3001, 1991 etc. etc. The Game Music demos were released like 1985-86-87. If anyone knows the dates, please let me know.

It is the same guy, and I remember those rips, but they are DEFINATELY older than 1991! They're from the middle of the 80ies, probably 85 or 86.. |
