Paradox

Paradox was originally formed late 1989 by members of the danish group Trilogy (Bad Boy, Black Hawk, Tas, Pcsu, Qrd) and the french group M.A.D (Olivier, The Surge, Clash) with the intention of forming the mightiest cracking constellation ever. Leaders of the group were originally The Surge, Midnight Maniac and Olivier, with Blackhawk and The Surge doing most of the cracking. Suppliers were Action Man, Spirit and Paragon. With this setup PDX was immediately one of the top amiga cracking groups, and were staples on the top of the charts from day one. Thanks to the history published on the group's website for some information. 1990 - During 1990, Paradox were at war with another cracking group, Angels, which culminated in the famous intro from Skywalker, where a devil is brutally molesting a defenseless angel :) MayDay stopped all activities late this year. The Danish board 'HALLOWED GROUND' (03-09/90) had to close its doors late this year, since the Danish police had started to suspect what was going on. German sysop Skyline joined around october. Danes Static, Vandal and Droopy joined Rebels in december. 1991 - LSD's "Grapevine #1" [06/91] reported that the UK section of Paradox had left to form a new group called Infinity. Tension grew within the group until it eventually died. When this happened, most of the members joined Quartex (confirmed: TIC (crack, 90) and The Surge (mainorg crack sysop, 11/90)). Paradox went into hibernation, but the group was reactivated after two years. Paradox was reborn i 1993 with Daryl/ex Shining as one of the leaders. Midnight Maniac was back (albeit with a slightly lower profile than earlier), Blackhawk was still one of the scene's most prolific crackers, and Paragon still one of the best suppliers. Paradox were the undisputed number one in its second incarnation. Maximilien was the new leader, and new members like Zool (italy) and Lincoln (germany) helped raise the group even further. The group now expanded, for the first time, into the console scene. Releases were made on the SNES and Sega Genesis, under the able hands of Belgarion (code) and Papillon (org). Even more challenges were sought, and the group turned its attention to the pc scene... 1993 - Kaoz and swapper Killraven (early93) were kicked. Killraven joined Anthrox late 93. 1994 - French coder Ninja (12/93, in Angels three months earlier) left to join Scoopex. French musician Monty (12/93-04/94) left to form Universal Soldiers with his friend Schmoovy-Schmoov/Complex late this year. 1995 - Then the group's leader Maximilien was busted by the police, once again killing Paradox in the process... Paradox would be reborn a third time after two more years, in 1997, but now entirely on the console scene.
