View source for Prestige (group)

==Prestige (PSG)==
Born in 1994, Prestige were for quite some time one of the foremost Amiga illegal cracking groups. The group was organized from Switzerland, France and Italy (selling console copiers) with other members internationally. They are/were also active on the PC. For a [[Funzine]] review of the cracktros done by/for them, see their entry.

There was an older small group called [[Prestige (demo)]] in Germany, which shared neither common roots nor members with the actual Prestige described on this page.
