http://noname.c64.org/csdb/search/?content...&search=illegalINTERVIEW OF THE MONTH
THIS TIME: MITCH / EAGLE SOFT
Without any exception every American game is cracked by this dude MITCH of
EAGLE SOFT INC. and this throughout 6 years! No other group on the globe keeps
itself so isolated, so I was one of the very few guys who ever talked to him...
?: How old are you?
!!!: 20 years.
?: When did you come into the computer business?
!!!: In 1980 I bought a VIC 20, 'cause one of my friends wanted it.
?: When was E.S.I. founded?
!!!: Something around 1982, I can't remember all original members, some Dan
and Jason, but the first E.S.I. cracker came from Singapore.
?: Where did you get the name from?
!!!: Dan had a poster showing and eagle above his bed, but the best about the
name is that it doesn't say anything, it doesn't say "cracking service",
we could even be an insurance company.
?: What was your first crack?
!!!: "RAPTON" by SERIOUS in 1981.
?: Can you give any special reason for cracking games?
!!!: Challenge and thrill of beating the programmers.
?: Why do you keep yourself so isolated?
!!!: We don't have to be open. We work as a family, don't compete among each
other... it worked in the beginning, it works now, it works every single
day.
?: What do you think... Is there only you in the States who can crack games?
!!!: The others even don't try to crack, just always say that they couldn't
crack.
?: What do you think about European crackers?
!!!: Most of the Europeans (not all!) are a kind of scummy, but so are a lot
of Americans, but they don't feel so bad.
?: Who are your best friends?
!!!: All the members of E.S.I., especially John. I've got lots of good
friends, but I don't wanna put 'em in the "best friends" category.
?: What are your favourite...
!!!: Game (64): "Maniac Mansion"
Music (64): An American demo called "Synth Sample" by some Canadian
programmer.
Movie: "Return of the Jedi"
Music: RUSH
?: What are you doing when you aren't sitting on your computer?
!!!: Working or playing RUSH tunes in my car.
?: With all the connections and friends in the world you have, how come that
you don't know any Ferrari dealership owners?
!!!: I trade software for Ferrari, I go for that!
?: How do you see the 64's future?
!!!: It will be dead by 1991. Turn on your Amiga, let's transform "Maniac
Mansion".
THANX to THE BUTCHER for arranging the 3-way.
