@ Gonthar : The Band was prolly one of the best group at its time. Even tho’ Duncan was a rather strange guy, he surely was the real guy behind Angels. One of my mates "Megablast" (CPU, Dragons, Angels), formerly "Krapula" i think, was once part of The Band. He told us a lot of good things about this group.
However, bringing Angels to that level was a true miracle (given the fact that the french side was full of nice but true lamers).
Anyway, the kind of spirit you’re talking about wasn’t too common anymore back in the early 90’s.
I remember going nut at Gaston (the cracker, ex-Horizon), in Sprint (short living group) coz he refused to release our version of Turrican.
We would have been first but he said that the very last stage was fucked up coz my original was corrupt… No 100% version, ne release. Old spirit fundamentalist that is!
Skid Row was more like … "Huh, let’s release this half cracked game so that other groups will give up their work when they’ll see our version being spread alll around. In the mean time we’ll work out some patches".
@ Trackah123 : Exactly. A little core of a few guys was the key.
@ zeg : Yup nice one. The guys at Titus Software were far from kidding. Their games sucked anyway.
