The first members of Byterapers were: Kasper (code-wizard), Grendel (swapper & organizer) and Professor Fate (musician) Expansion started at 87, and at the end of 87 (B) were doing very well. Undoubtely one of the best Finnish 64 groups, and a bit on Amiga too. During 87/88 (B) had a very prospering cooperation with Team-X, which later was cancelled. To the no:1 Finnish group (B) rose at 88 winter/spring. At that time (B) started to crack, and did it so much, fast and well that there was NO competitors, as no-one could reach the same level. Thanks for this went to Rockstar, the big brother of Python, whom I had discovered. At May 88 (B) released their 1st Amiga demo, which no-one anymore has. Later the 64-coder CSA bought Amiga, and started to code on it. Couple of months later, he released his 1st Amiga demo. CSA then carried the (B) flag high, and during spring 1989 Byterapers could be counted as one of the TOP 5 groups in Finland, after releasing Muzzax 1 & 2 in the same month. Autumm/winter 89 (B) quitted at once the whole 64 section, and moved completely on Amiga. Now was proved that 64-groups moving to Amiga never succeed so well, as (B) has NEVER been as active/famous/good as we were on 64-times. A summary of Byterapers C64-career: cracks 700-1300 (about) Kasper cracked about 300 games during 86-88, and Rockstar did a lot more during 88-89... demos ???????? JTP's 64-demos alone filled 10 disks, and (B) had really much coders on 64, although we were never a demogroup... There must be some 100-300 Byterapers demos on 64, from 86 to 89. After being only a Amiga group, and 3 years of work, whole group sank into some kind of suspended animation... Most guys could do anything, CSA became lazy etc etc etc. Just JTP released his 1st Amiga demo, but then nothing until the (B)/Scoopex/Extasy party. That time was a comeback tried, but it failed and everyone continued their sleeps. Then at November/December new comeback was tried. Grendel started to organize whole thing again, before leaving to army. And it almost succeed! Group was again working well, and Grendel left to army with good mood. Turtle and Python were co-leaders, but then the horror struck!!!!! Turtle and Python couldn't handle the group AT ALL! They made everyone angry, and soon guys started to leave the group. Very soon it seemed there's only two guys left in Byterapers: Grendel and JTP. Luckily, Grendel had to spend only two months in army, and got home. After two months he started to re-organize the group, and it's now getting back onto feet... But for about two months, the group was as good as dead.... Some new members have been taken to fill the holes after Turtle's/Python's messing, and overall the situation seems very good for Byterapers' future - for reasons known only between the (B) members. Naturally, outsiders know nothing what's going on inside (B), and they don't need to know. It's enough, if I say: WE ARE ALIVE! Byterapers has very good members now, so wait in the future! But our policy is different from other groups: WE HAVE FUN! WE DON'T LOOK AT FLOW OF RELEASES, WE HAVE FUN! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT BEING FAST OR PRODUCTIVE: WE JUST HAVE FUN! Remember it! As Finland's oldest group we have the right to be ourselves, and not to follow the trends! ****** F1 TXT This was the first Amiga demo made by CSA, the ex-star coder of Byterapers on 64. Made at November 1988. With this CSA started good career on Amiga, making demos and 6 Byterapers Muzzax. ****** F2 TXT This was done by Action Force guys, who were some of the best 64-members ever at (B). Probably it was released before the CSA's 1st demo, but who cares? Music by Walkman of BYTERAPERS! (later of IT etc....) NOTE: WORKS ONLY WITH KICKSTART 1.2!!!!!! ****** F3 TXT CSA's 2nd demo on Amiga. Funny music by Speed-Head. It either gave people headache, or they liked it. Don't reset immediately, there's very good split-rasters! Released 31.12.1988 ****** F4 TXT CSA's 3rd Amiga demo. Included very nice Star Wars scroller. Only Silents had made that kind of scroller before us, and everyone said ours was better. Krhm. Graphics by Jugi Perfect, music by Speed-Head. If you wish, read scrolltext from textfile at disk! There's good text! ****** F5 TXT CSA's 4th demo. With this we competed our Triangle/Amigalords party, and came 9th, out of 18. I think Byterapers was the 1st Finnish group to compete in abroad party's democompetition. This has been said as our finest demo. Music by Speed-Head. If you wish, read scrolltext from the textfile at the disk! ****** F6 TXT Hoffi's demo! At one time Hoffi was a (B) member too... Look at that beautiful sinus!!!!! Graphics and music by Jugi Perfect of (B). ****** F7 TXT Python's Fatman-demo, his first product ever on Amiga. Guess who this demo is about?????? Yes, it's made by same Python, that was in Complex and now in Frantic. He'd been a Byterapers-member from 1988, if you newcomers didn't know... You didn't, I know... Music by Jugi Perfect of Byterapers. ****** F8 TXT Suckerraper intro. By Bloodsuckers & (B). Made at a Silents party at Sweden. After this intro, all Finnish groups joined together, and started to kill Bloodsuckers... Code by The Wicked, music & graphics by Scy.
