origin of 1001 Crew
What was the country the 1001 Crew is from. I first believed Germany, but that's completely wrong, the database says Denmark, but I believe more into Holland, which is also indicated by Honey's real name: Joost Honig
Anyone with true knowledge? |

okay, I'm pretty sure by now Honey, TSI and Empire are Dutch while Hacktec is Danish. Hacktec very probably is one of the two Danish makers of the game 'The Vikings' |

1001 were mostly Dutch. I've met them a few times when I just started out on copy-parties in Nijmegen. |

as far as my research goes also TSI is from Denmark. So I guess TSI and Hacktec coded 'The Vikings'. No guarantee on that info thou. |

I have an article about the creators of Vikings at my parents place, either from the Zzap or from CU. But I don't think it mentions the 'scene' names of these guys. |

A few weeks ago there was this guy from Microsoft here, and during a break of his presentation we discussed the c64 scene. He mentioned that Joost Honig (Honey) is a collague of him .. |

Kele Line was a Danish company sprunged from Sodan. Their first game was TigerMission and secon came The Vinkings. Both great games, I think! Go Sodan, the border would have being much more boring without you! ;-) |

Because you don't know what you're talking about? Just because somebody gives a presentation doesn't mean I'm going to use their system you know .. |

Ah forgive me, I now realise that you were probably talking about Honey instead of me .. Sorry, I just woke up and there are still way too many drugs in my blood .. |

Don't be so hypocrit, if anyone of you would be capable to do and get offered a high payed job at Microsoft everyone of you would take it. |

hm, from reading scroll texts of 1001 demos and looking at whom they greet personally e.g. N-M / Future Projects I'm pretty sure also the members I suspected to be from Denmark are in reality from Holland. They were just in good contact with Sodan, who is Dane. |

The funny thing is that Sodan & 1001 crew used to be 'enemies', until the 1001 guys decided to pay him a visit and a gigantic sex orgy took place.
Okay, maybe no orgy but the rest is true. |

I can also confirm that the 1001 Crew is definately Dutch (Netherlands). I have met some of them in person after I had written an article about there Escos-based (borderless) demo in a dutch magazine called Commodore Info. At that time (aprox 1985) 1001 crew and their buddies TMC (Charles Deenen) and Dutch USA team belonged to the top of the Dutch C64 scene. |
