Melon Dezign

Melon Dezign was formed by Paleface and Seen after they left Quartex, as a demo and intro subgroup of the cracking crew Crystal. They eventually left their mothergroup Crystal to exist on their own, but I believe the game development company Lionheart consists of Melon Dezign members. They've produced an amazing array of crackintros over the years, most of them for Crystal, but also for a.o. Ministry. 1992 - Hitman was kicked due to lazyness early 92. In december, the french members (at least Performer and Walt) went to The Party with a brand new trackdisk demo... But after talking to Lone Starr/Spaceballs and seeing "State of the Art" Performer decided not to release it...and the demo was lost forever =( This story was related to me by Performer, so it's definitely true. 1994 - Late in the year, Performer and Walt released the short demo "Booo II" with the aid of Joachim (gfx) and Travolta (music) from the Norwegian section. Danes Slammer (code, new early 93), Xience (gfx, new early 93) and Solnova (gfx, all ex Anarchy) joined the new Rednex. Danish musician Hithansen, who originally joined from Rednex, left them for the NEW Rednex! French coder Performer (Renaud Lerouvreur, ex Anarchy, 04/92-94) left the Amiga scene for the PC. I've seen his cool intro "Red" for Razor 1911 on the PC, which he made with Zebig and TDK; other Amiga abandonees. He left behind some great demos for Melon, most notably "Humantarget" [04/92]. English musician Mark Knight (formerly known under the handle TDK; The Dark Knight, ex Anthrox) left the scene after securing a job in the game industry at Mindscape. He is working as in-house musician at Electronic Arts. His work can be heard in games like Battletoads (amiga), Sim City 2000 (amiga), Mario's Time Machine (super nintendo), Wing Commander, Liberation, Out to Lunch, Dragonlore (pc), Dungeon Keeper 2 (pc), Duke Nukem (ps1) and Shox (ps2). He has a website at www.madfiddler.co.uk. Sorry for including them all Mark... ;)
