Founded by :
Cult in June 1988

Dissolved in :
December 1990

Group Types :
Cracker Group, Import Group, Fixing Group

Base Country :
United States

Trivia :
Exodus was formed in 06/1988 by Cult.

In 02/1989, Warewolf (NATO) joined in, followed by Stormbringer, Jimmy Z and Gazoo (all former Mayhem) in 04/1989. This is when the golden age of Exodus started. Exodus went exclusive with Illusion, NATO, Genesis Project, Crazy and Censor Design. Executionner (Reign of Terror) joined in Oct/1989 as he was disappointed that Gene/Illusion gave the first real first-release to EXS instead of ROT.
Exodus lost Illusion as trading partner to A Touch of Class mainly due to a war between Gene and Exodus.

In 02/1990 Grim Reaper (former The Syndicate, North East Crackers) and Warez King (ex-Fantasy, Sysop of Warez Castle) joined in, while Flyboy (Sysop of Fabulous Disaster) was kicked out and joined Fantasy.

In 05/1990 The Executioner stopped and bought an Amiga.
Stormbringer and The Cure left in 09/1990, to form a new super NTSC-fixing group together with Pudwerx and Blue Devil (both ex-A Touch of Class) called named Random.

From then on, Exodus was consisting of Warewolf, Gazoo and Grim Reaper. Genesis Project and Censor Design were loyal and remained trading exclusively with them.

In 12/1990 they decided to kill the group. Grim Reaper rejoined NEI/NEC, Warewolf decided to stop on c-64 and Gazoo eventually shut down his infamous BBS.

Exodus is not well remembered. During their heyday around 1988-1990 they were the center of the scene. Their main BBS, Wild Warez was the most popular BBS in the world, for many years. Stormbringer taught NTSC fixing and the Theory of Reverse Engineering to many people.

Submitted by Dr. Doom on 10 October 2015

in the 2 years XDS was around in the c64 scene,
they released ALOT of games as I checked out their
info here on the database! they were a COOL group! nice cool intros by stormbringer on some of em!!
SZU: you got that right about the good old days!
it sure was fun back then! wish time would stand still to enjoy it MORE! :)

Submitted by szu on 22 September 2014

Exodus had some of the best U/L areas on their BBS's.. also many cool dudes trading calling cards etc.. too bad those days are gone guys!

Submitted by Flyboy on 3 March 2009

BTW, my BBS only had one phone number and not two as listed. Not sure where that 702 Las Vegas number came from... have fun.

Submitted by The Shadow on 13 January 2009

Exodus was the best American importing and NTSC fixing group in the scene, ever!

Submitted by Grim Reaper on 23 December 2008

When I joined I brought Genesis*Project, Crazy, Dominators, Censor Design, Paramount, Extasy and other groups in to their list as of then their primary contacts being Illusion and NATO who the later was on their way out of the scene. One other correction, Gazoo was also in Exodus when the lineup consisted of Warewolf, Gazoo and myself. Thanks for the interest! We were a tight group, but as all things go, interests/opinions change over time...

Flyboy here of Fabulous Disaster - glad to see everyone.... been a long, long time.

Tried to pull an Exodus history together. Feel free to add...

Submitted by Freestyle on 6 September 2008

Exodus early memberlist according to scrolltext in 1943 - The Battle of Midway + (September 1988): Cult, Gladiator, Blistyx, Vector.
That was before their glory days (before they joined forces with Mayhem)...

Submitted by OEP on 14 February 2007

Gazoo was one of the best people I ever knew on the c64. Always a pleasure to talk with him.

Submitted by Captain Kidd on 26 July 2004

Wild Warez (Gazoo), Fabulous Disaster (Flyboy) and Disintegration (The Cure) were the big boards from the old days runned by Exodus. Also I remember Skreemer (from old INC) being a good friend in the old days. Thumbs up !!!

Submitted by Dishy on 10 February 2004

Exodus was an importing-group being "exclusive" with NATO.
