More: The Alliance (and most specifically, Billy the Kid) was considered ESI's #1 ally in all of this. They were perceived as being a lower-tier group that were more interested in war drama and being distributors for ESI than an effective cracking and importing group. This is probably fair, TA is similar to NEPA in that regard.

BTK acted as a liason between certain people in UCF and ESI, wrote several war texts and demos like this one, and experienced direct harassment of his family due to his involvement.

The first time I ever heard of TA was in ESI's Super Cycle crack in July of 86, not too long before ESI and TA would go to war against the Bencor Bros where BTK also had a front-and-center role. So they were kind of "old" allies by the time the UCF stuff started. Note that the UCF war started March 28th, 1987 and war demos of this nature are concentrated in the following few months. This is probably from April.

Big, big thanks for finding this one, cba! Yeah this mostly sucks as a slideshow but it's a fantastic historical artifact.

The context here, with all of these pissant groups who were taking sides during the UCF/ESI conflict - most of them thought this would earn them greets or access. IMO that's what drove 99% of the energy behind the whole thing.

most gfx are obviously ripped, some are clearly self-made but also very poor. The screenshot's one of 2 or 3 somewhat interestig pics. Might be ripped, might be self-made, who knows?

Overall, astonishing how much effort was wasted for doing such an epic hate demo - and not a very funny one

The nose of that skull in that screenshot is pretty weird.
