Interview with Honey of 1001 Crew
Everyone knows Honey and the 1001 Crew. They were one of the top teams between 1985 and 1987 and were the first to break the side-border and put sprites in all borders with ESCOS. C64hq is the first and will always be the first to give you an interview with one of the guys after 17 years of silence. It's a real scoop, don't you agree?
Read the interview and check out the rare pictures featuring members from Triad, Boys Without Brains, The BAM, Purebyte and SCC.

1001 was interviewed for In Medias Res, it's still there.
I have (co-incidence ????) just mailed SODAN today,
to get the story about the (up-low/sideborder stuff)

Sorry..
To answer Grahams's question:
it was either Sodan, 1001, or Flash (1941)

@rambones: there is a lot of people who claim to be the first, sodan being one of them. but who of them has released anything with it? none! so it simply is irrelevant. |

Graham: Sodan has released his game Cracker's Revenge which has open up/low border, this is the first I saw in 1985. Likewise, 1001 made the border letter 1 with a sideborderscroll around charline 6-8, this was the first I saw. Therefore I am confused about the scroll-wars of Sodan+1001+Flash where they discuss who was first. I never saw anything *first* from Flash.
Just waiting for Sodan to reply..

@rambones: i was talking about sideborders ofcourse. 1001 crew never claimed that they have invented open upper/lower border. |

I recently asked the same question... who was "first with border sprites" on Lemon64:
http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12687
An interesting discussion with the general concensus that 1001 were first with the side borders... and FCG was first with upper and lower... |

schütze den schönen fröhn vor dem bösen stöhn durch das knarzen der schwarzen warzen die sich jedoch in tote goten verwandeln, wenn sie nicht von den boten mit roten broten gefüttert werden, falls nicht schon vorher der fünfnasige zong deinen dong in den pong gegongt hat, wodurch aus der grauen frau eine blaue sau wird...
hole mit der katz den schatz und vernichte so den watz! nutze den brand der britze blitze aus der hand in tempel und rempel dort den stempel, um keine beulen von den keulen der eulen zu bekommen. entkomme der grotte mit der flotte, doch vernichte erst den schlunde, aus dem runde hunde hoppen, nachdem du den hottentotten mit den motten aus den grotten verjagt hast. befreie fröhnline mit der maschine nicht bevor du dich nicht mit frau holle und ihren tollen trollen in die wolle gekriegt hast, und schon geht es deinem fröhn wieder schön! |

well xfire, you begged for it, now fear the wrath of bablefish:
"protects the beautiful froehn against the bad groans by the knarzen black warts however in the dead goten transforms, if they offered not of with red bread are fed, if before fuenfnasige zong the yours dong in pong already it did not gegongt how from the grey woman a blue sow become... get with Katz the treasure and destroys so watz! use the fire the britze flash from the hand in temples and rempel the stamp, over none become baggy there by the clubs of the owls too gotten escape from the grotte with the quick, but destroy only the schlunde, from round the dog hoppen, after you did not hunt the hottentotten with the moths from the grotten release froehnline with the machine before you you not with woman holle and into those wants its mad trollen gekriegt, and already goes it to yours again beautifully froehn!"
guess it still has the same meaning like in German -> total nonsense |

In The Final Edge the bordermonster himself, TSI (as he opened the C64 sideborder as the first person on earth) of the legendary 1001 Crew is referring to 'flash-baby' or 'the bitstoppers' as the ones first opening the upper- and lowerborder. Also, Honey of the 1001 Crew credits: "I think that was done by Flash (or at least someone from Germany).", for doing so, as you can read in the interview on C64hq.com (http://www.c64hq.com/index1024.php).
I hence reckon it is fairly likely Flash of Flash Cracking Group deserves credits for opening up the lower- and uppersideborder.. |
