                INTERVIEWS



  It seems that people lose one's attraction in St. Petersburg
to give an interview - probably fell in the summer
hibernation. Today in Newskah - Letter from Rostov-on-Don, from 
the guys from OHG. Them a call ... 



           Omega Hackers Group


            Hello everybody!!


  Welcome * Omega Hackers Group *
of Rostov'a-on-Don. This article is about the
us about how we appear, and what we do ...


  We have organized the summer of 1995, it was
everything is very simple: I (Jocker) was then
free coder'om and did not participate in
which group. And once, at radiotolchke, I met with Shurik 
(Dracula) and learned that he had organized a group called * 
Omega Hackers Group *. Well, naturally, I asked what if I could 
join in her? To which he replied that I could.



  I am very pleased and has since started to subscribe from ~ 
Omega Hackers Group ~ or ~ OHG ~. Then, I remember, I have

released a demo Fantazm md.

 Soon Dracula told me to take myself
nickname, and I came up with ~ Jocker ~. And yet spiked demuh 
(Bad of Bad1, Bad of Bad2, etc).



  Our group consisted of several
people, but they, except Grisha Bologova
(Grey), did nothing, and soon samoisklyuchilis.


  So, Dracula broke bend, throwing ideas
wrote to the texture, I (Jocker) kodil, Grisha
wrote in ASM'e Mouzon. This continued for some time. And then 
join us another "tipok" - Filimonov Tolia

(Fantom), and we are all half-baked
group, under the influence of ~ Satisfaction MD ~
decide to do their megademu. Title devised Fantom - ~ Stress 
megademo ~. I have a few weeks rivet heap krutnika ~, Fantom 
and Grey wrote Mouzon, but then Work stalled ...



  Here our ranks are replenished another man - a notorious ~ 
Destroy Soft ~, later simply Destroyer! Which breaks down all 
the possible and impossible Disk and Software Protection! Here, 
we for 5 people: Dracula, Grey, Jocker,

Fantom, and Destroyer. And everyone involved
their work.


  But it soon began to thin our ranks:
Fantom scores on the Speccy, and all the leaves in
music, Grey buys 486dx2-66 and,
unfinished * Omega Comander *, throws
Speccy. I demuh flow is reduced and all
more user'yu.


  Soon our inspirer and the main
organizer, ie Dracula, knocks on the pc.
And * OHG * is now virtually out of 3
man: Jocker, Destroyer and Grey (sling ink sometimes 
muzonchiki). 


  This lasted until the spring of 1996. And then
came drastic changes. First, I
The Pentagon has bought from him and very "pritorchal. I soon 
became acquainted with three types - Klim, Max and Jeka, they 
crept out sometimes the market to trade soft'om ... From

Klim'a I know that he is trying to write music in WHAM'e and 
INSTRUMENT'e. Imagine what kind of Mouzon, I give him ROM ~ PRO 
TRACKER 2.1 ~, and he begins to it actively "torture."



  Once, again, on the market, I meet with a "metal", which I
subsequently learned fumbles in the second and in DOS'e.
I was just hatched plans tricked
copyist, something like LUXE COPY, only
steeper, and me the knowledge of this "metal" as
times have fallen by the way!


  Soon the metal takes on a new name -
Diavol. A couple of weeks to our borders
a Vitek (later - Shark) and, as
turns out he wrote a good Muzychka ...


  Last fall, come the summer ... Once,
from Klim'a, I know that there is in Rostov
One group, except * OHG *, and it appeared to work. (Here I 
should add that in Rostov was another group, * SHG *, but

only it is very quickly broken up and nothing
special is done, except nemerenoe
number intruh). Of course, I was glad such an event, and soon 
saw them work and met in person. Group called ~ Nasty Hackers 
Group ~. There have been 2 people: Disabler and SCH Soft. Soon

They were joined by Shark and Edward.


  So, in Rostov coexisted side by side
two groups which, in principle, does not compete with each 
other. At the end of ends, Klim invited all to join in

* Omega Hackers Group *...


  Updated composition * OHG * was then: Jocker, Klim, Disabler, 
Shark, Grey, Destroyer, Edward. Everything was good, the work

simmered with fresh force, Disabler almost every weekend brings 
something new, Klim wrote the music, Shark, too

writing something, Edward tormented vector graphics, Destroyer 
racked protection, Grey wrote, game, and I kodil new intros, 
but with each Thus, more and more lazy ...



  In mid-summer, joined us yet
2 people: Electro and Jet. Electro was
gfx'erom classy, ​​Jet - a good programmer. But unfortunately, 
our joy soon come to an end. Electro went to the army

Edward bought the pc and scored on a Speccy, Grey and
Destroyer are more and more began to come
in Rostov. Our structure is strongly thinned out.


  For some time we slowed, but soon
Jet Disabler and began work on the game:
~ Mario Islands ~, which soon turned into
in megagame!


  At the present day composition * OHG * is:

 Jocker - main coder, organizer, some gfx
 Disabler - coder, some gfx
 Diavol - coder
 Klim - music maker, critic
 Shark - music maker, some coder
 Jet - coder, some gfx
 Electro - main gfx maker (in the army ...)
 Mistik - some gfx maker, some coder


  Destroyer'a Grey'ya and I have not seen and
I do not know they were still on the Speccy, or not.


  At the moment we are working directly on
several projects:


  Mario Islands (Cool megagame),

  Test Drive Utility (Best drive utility),

  Psychosonic demo (Demo for Enlight'97).


  Unfortunately, lost such a project as
"Dizzy'97 (Adventure in Rostov)", because
lack of good gfx maker'a.


  Here, perhaps, and all our Omeg'ovskaya story, which, of 
course, very narrow, and much missed, but it is impossible to 
describe the same all the details!



  We hope you were interested to read it.
