Pure Metal Coders (PMC)
PMC was once a force to be reckoned with. Their coder Cocy was wellknown following his excellent "Alfa Omega" (1991) demo, and their diskmag R.A.W. was rapidly developing into a success. However, when Cocy started coding on a game, and the R.A.W production team joined Spaceballs, there wasn't much left. I'd really like to know what became of their excellent musician Peter, though :)

Group History
- 1991
- Norwegian trader and swapper Flush (Frode, 12/90-05/91) sold his Amiga and left the scene.
- 1992
- "R.A.W #2" [02/92] was released in February, still in cooperation with New Wave, and carrying an intro supplied by Spaceballs. The issue was a major success, boosting the group's popularity by miles. It announced Metal King was still coding on a commercial game; that Lonerider had joined from Visual Bytes; that Flush had now stopped swapping; that Cocy was coding the follow-up to "Alfa & Omega" [91]; and that norwegians Anders Hamre from Amiga Freelancers and Anders from Airborn had joined.
- Norwegian coder Anders (ex Airborn, 04-12/92) joined Duplo. Anders was also sysop of 'PURE METAL LINE' until it was busted!
- Norwegian graphician Ramjet (ex Cartel, 12/90-12/92) joined Spaceballs.
- Thanatos (France gfx, 09/92) and Zapper (Norway music, ex Cartel, 12/90-04/92) both got kicked.
- Norwegian graphician Fairfax (ex Beastie Boys, 11/91-12/92) joined Offence 06/92.
- 1993
- At The Gathering '93, Norwegians Lord Helmet (swap edit, ex Cartel, 12/90), Kingpin (swap) and Perplex (code, 11/92, both ex Offence) joined Spaceballs. With the editor, co-editor and coder of "R.A.W." jumping ship, PMC lost one of their greatest assets. Though it was claimed in Generation #6 that Lord Helmet joined Andromeda, this is obviously untrue.
- Unsorted
- The French section was kicked.
- Norwegian coder and musician Copernicus (Anders Hamre, ex Amiga Freelancers) decided to leave the scene.
- Asymptotic, Fullstar, Hexogen and Rhah joined Dreamdealers because they were fed up with Thanatos.
- Norwegian musician and swapper Dreamer (ex Amaze, early '93) left the scene.
- Batman, sysop 'PIECE OF HEAVEN' (05/91), got kicked.
- Norwegian swapper Lonerider (ex Visual Bytes, new ca 01/92) sold his Amiga, bought a PC, and consequently got kicked.
- The Jack (gfx, 12/90), Leatherface, Achmed B (code, 90), Dr. Feelgood (ex Miranda), Xion and X-Ray (Norway gfx swap, ex Gate, 12/90) all got kicked.
- Dr.Feelgood left to form Obituary.
