Halcyon Infofile v1.0 You may not know what is Halcyon and what it does. Don't worry (be happy), this info-file is created for all the stupid persons like you, which don't know what Halcyon is. Oh well, I'd better start with history.. Halcyon was founded by Blitz and fate in 1993 (or 1992, who cares!?!?). In the beginning it was _VERY_ (I really mean _VERY_) lame group and the name was different (I wont mention the name here..). We released couple of products, mainly utilities, but then we made our first BIG mistake: we decided to make an intro (without any graphicians or musicians!). So, we had two members, both coders and we made an intro. Can you imagine the quality of that intro? Later in 1993 we made another intro, that was bullshit too. In the end of 1993 Copter (graphician) and Mr.BUG (musician) joined us. We changed our group's name. After couple of months we kicked Mr.BUG out, 'coz he didn't do anything. PLacidity joined us as designer and graphician. We released X-MAS-intro (which was bullshit too) and CroakeR (musician) & Bass-Cadet (musician) joined us. It was year 1994 and we changed our group's name to Halcyon. Vorpal (ANSI artist) & Cabby (coder) joined us and we kicked Copter out, 'coz we don't like superELITES and he couldn't draw anything acceptable (Actually Copter left our group himself, but we were planning to kick him out anyway, 'coz he couldn't draw very well). After couple of months we realized that Cabby can't code and we kicked him out. Sigh joined us as musician and we kicked Vorpal and Bass-Cadet out too, 'coz Bass-Cadet didn't do anything and we realized that we don't need ANSI-artist. Couple months before Assembly'94 we started making an intro for Assembly'94 introcompetition. As you can see our member-status is changing all the time. Currently we have five members: CroakeR (Jaakko Iisalo) Musician [78] Blitz (Kimmo Kangas) Coder [79] fate (Jukka Lehto) Coder [79] PLacidity (Petri Lievonen) Graphician/designer [79] Sigh (Sakari Hyrkk”) Musician [79] As you can see, we all are quite young, but I think we are pretty good. In the beginning, when we were lame group, we made mainly utilities (DOS & SBBS, which usually were bullshit), but now we are making mainly demos & intros. Ofcoz we make everything what comes to our mind. I won't tell you our group's older names, 'coz they were _LAME_ and they released _SHIT_! So, our current group, Halcyon, has offically born in the beginning of the year 1994 and it has nothing to do with older shits. Here is our release-list (which will be updated): Name Size DD/MM/YY Short description ------------<>-------<>--------<>--------------------- SEAGULLS.ZIP 140kb ??/??/94 Seagulls by CroakeR (S3M) 42 .ZIP 65kb 07/08/94 42, 64kb.intro, 386/GUS You should be able to find these files on our dist.sites. Well, here's our problem: we don't have any HQs or distros. So, if you want your BBS to be our HQ or just a distro, please contact us somehow. If you want to join us, it would be good if you live somewhere in the capital-area (p„„kaupunkiseutu, 90-area or whatever), Finland. That's 'coz it helps keeping contact and we don't like making ld-calls (long-distance, u know..) Wanna contact us? Well, I think it's quite difficult, 'coz we don't have any HQs or distros. You should try to find somebody of Halcyon from some BBS and leave him a message.
