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? |

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. |

Hmm, 8 years down the road, are you any closer to settling this investigation 2f? |

Ah, what a pity - R.I.P. :-(
Did he ever do anything else than this game, then? Klegg? |

If what Klegg posted is true, there are very few options. The only person which was on my list of suspects and which passed away in 2013 was Mogwai/Paragon.
EDIT: No, I was wrong - Klegg posted this in 2012. |

As far as I know he didn't make (or at least release) anything else than this.
The singer in a band that I play with knew him pretty well, that's how I got to meet him. I didn't realize that he was Beerlord until after though.. |

If you *really* need to know, there are genealogists' tools available. |
