Handle id #10557 : Mike J. Henry
Found this on the Web....
Can anybody confirm it ?
------------------------
Fast Hack'em?
Heh, it is funny you should mention that, because I know Mike J. Henry. He was originally known as the "Bandit Boy" back and the day, and went on to write "Fast Hack'em". I used to belong to this small computer club that would meet in this dudes basement (I think there were 9 of us), and he was a member. He went on to marry one of my friend's sisters. Crazy how popular that program was.
As far as that pic goes, that is awesome. I probably looked similar back then, but never took any pics. My parents basement was full of Commodores. I had 2 64's, one running a BBS on a dedicated phone line and a 128. Man, I miss those days, pizza parties, the european gaming magazines with all the cool pics of upcoming games, BBSs...

I just found a lot of The Bandit Boy and Mike J. Henry stuff on the same disks, which made me investigate. Pac-Man and Centipede proves the point, together with what General Zoff said above. Gonna merge The Bandit Boy with Mike J. Henry soon.
Any objections? |

Go for it. And I guess we can also create Lawrence as alternative handle for Mr. Nike. |

so this "Chris Faulkner" who said he was the bandit boy was lying? |

I'd rather guess that Mike J. Henry is a pseudonym as well? |

I got some intel btw: "Mike J Henry is really Lawrence, also known as Mr. Nike or Lawrence.
MJH is indeed an alias." |

Ah! "RapiDOS was sold in the US by Chip Level Designs with kernel code written by Lawrence Hiller (aka Mr.Nike). Mitch/ESI gave ideas and feedback to the code resulting in RapiDOS having lots of “hacker enhancements” over Professional DOS, for example the built in monitor. It also functions on PAL (50Hz) Machines."

Mitch said that Mr. Nike was the only other cracker that was as good as himself.

I've had all sorts of people tell me they knew Mike Henry, worked with him "at the mill", were related to him, all kinds of bullshit. Thanks for clearing this up! |
