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? |

Killer Games is precisely the sort of C64 games that makes sense to play in these days I think. Sometimes I load it when a not-so-much-into-c64-friend is visiting, and people always enjoy it.
I think it is nice not to know who did it. It adds to the weird and nice feeling when loading this game.
Horray! |

Just as criminals often return to the crimescene, our masked mysteryman (eg. Beerlord) finally comes here to taunt the investigators, some three years after the initial creation of this thread - perhaps the most mysterious and riddled thread so far on this forum?!
Now, quick - somebody trace his IP. :-) |

Alas, that is of no use.
I post via a chain of forgotten proxy, backdoored server and personal rootkitted pc.

2f: Mileages do vary ;) My vote for the most mysterious thread is about some people secretly trying to do UFLI max. |
