Weasel (real name 'Juergen') was a german cracker for several well-known C-64 groups from the past living in south germany. His most active years on c64 were during 1986 till 1991. Together with a very good friend of him called 'Deejay' (real name 'Stefan') who used to be in Frontline, Matrix, Crazy and Lotus he released many of the old games. Weasel & Deejay always tried to live their motto to release only high-quality versions without losing time and speed to show off that this is possible! Their versions normally had additions like 'high-score saver' were 'garbage collected' and of course trained in the best possible way without haveing double-counted cheats or similar things. These days Weasel is working in his own founded TV and Media Company producing reports, shows and other media-content dealing also with scene-related topics... He's still got his c-64 build up and is around on several scene-parties keeping contact with many of his good old contacts and friends. Weasel's Group-History since 1984 (in correct order):
Powersoft Inc., Frontline, Matrix, CRAZY, Crazy & Lotus, Crest, Enigma, Red Sector Inc., Pandora, Legacy, Avantgarde, Hitmen and Padua!
