Norwegian FBR?
When sorting demos I found a demo called "Don't Hesitate" released in 1990 by a norwegian group called FBR.
The coder was called Ambush and another member called Defcon is writing in one of the scrollers.
It says in one of the scrollers that FBR changed name to Panorama.
I doubt that it's Fucked Beyond Repair since they were to my knowledge a US-group only...
Anyone knows anything about this norwegian FBR and what it means so I can sort it properly?
Oh, and by the way, in the intro there's a contactaddress that I'm sure I've seen before but can't remember where:
Blekebacken 25
3950 Brevik
Norway
All help appreciated!

Both Abstract Reality and High Voltage are in my eyes made by the American FBR. Abstract Reality listing US phonenumbers and in High Voltage the text "To europeans..." can be found. Also the same memebers are mentioned in both demos.
On the same disk I have "Dont Hesitate" also Sonic Blast/Panorama can be found. This Panorama having Olav Mörkrid and rest of PD members credited. This demo was done for software houses. Maybe no correlation to the FBR-Panorama thing at all, apart from fact that they are both norweigan. The "disk" is from the "spook's-collection" aka www.c64demos.com and can be found under ..software/demos/p/panorama/ |

Yes, I too noticed that those were from Fucked Beyond Repair unfortunately. I also found out that I already had a copy of "Don't Hesitate" but sorted in the Panorama directory, including a note with credits to:
Code: Ambush/Panorama
Graphics: Defcon/Panorama
Music: Henrik/Panorama
But no mention what FBR stands for.
I don't think this is the same Panorama as the software subgroup to Panoramic Designs. In "New Zealand Story Demo" from the Panoramic Panorama you can read:
"Members of the Panorama group are: Marius Skogheim - Haavar B. Hojem - Olav Morkrid - Henning Rokling - Richard Nygaard - Bjorn Rostoen. If you should see any Panorama production without these names, then it's certainly not made by us."

There definitely was another Panorama around the time that PD got formed, causing a bit of a mix-up, but they changed their name after a short while. |

The original FBR (Fucked Beyond Repair) died way before 1990. I hate it when people come up to use old legendary names again instead of coming up with something original and new...
May Ronski rest in peace! |

I've come back down to earth from the heavens as I hear mortals speaking of FBR. There is and will be only one true FBR 2001 and we retired from the scene years ago. No one can take claim to FBR and no one shall. For the record, any modern FBR group is invalid. Ronski/FBR 2001 has spoken.

There was a branch of FBR in Belgium back in 1989. Only lasted about 2 weeks. I think only a couple american releases imported to the euro side.
p.s.
Ronski, you still suck.

Would be more interesting if anyone could shed some light on the questions this thread was about from the start. |

The Panorama you linked to seems to be German. But wasn't Panoramic Designs first called Panorama? |

I don't know, just check the note on that disk and there it clearly says that FBR renamed into Panorama.
Perhaps we need a new entry for that group. |
