Spreadpoint

Spreadpoint
Spreadpoint is a demo group most fondly remembered for its coders. Buddha brought us the first texturemapped vectors and MasterSEKA, while Mnemotron brought us many improvements in the then-popular SoundTracker series. Thomas is the coder of the 'World Charts', where Autopsy/Hoodlum is editor... German coder TIP is identical to TIP/TNM, who coded the original MasterCruncher and later the first 8 channel music program, Oktalyzer.

 * German graphician Ucom left.
 * Lunatic rejoined Interactive.
 * Frenchman Daryl (ex The Silents) joined Shining.
 * Slash (swi trade), Matthew (aut, ex Subway), Tilt (aut code crack, ex Subway), GeorgeII (aut code crack) and Flash joined Defjam.
 * Belgian trader Dr.Doolittle (new 05/'90) quickly joined The Silents 06/'90.
 * Belgian sysops Cocaine and Dr.Avalanche ('FLYING SAUCER', ex Adept) quickly went on to Alpha Flight (R.A.W. #5 & SLH #11). Another source said Cocaine joined Addonic, yet another said Uli was sysop of 'FLYING SAUCER' and that HE joined Alpha Flight. The information on Uli as sysop of 'F S' seem to be correct, making my confusion total. Can anyone clarify?

Group History

 * 1990: Austrian coder Depeche (code train gfx, new '89) left in 1990. He later turned up briefly in Defjam, before leaving the scene for good. Their german BBS (sysop Merlin) was shut down ca 07/'90. Austrians Mike (code), Tilt (code) and Matthew joined from Subway ca 10/'90. Austrian founder Mike (code) left in 1990, leaving the group without a leader. He has later worked for Microsoft, and is today coding software for cellular phones. Munster took over organizing after Mike left.
