Warriors of the Wasteland (somtimes just dropping the "the") is a c64 demo and cracking group, based in Belgium. Their old homepage at http://wow.c64.org seems sadly gone from the web, but luckily there is a snapshot from 2006 available on the Wayback Machine.
The december 1990 cracktro for Atomic Robo-Kid + welcomes their new leader Scorpie. Another december release, the diskmagazine Internal 2, announced a whole host of changes for the group - perhaps most notably the joining of Divine. The first issue of Internal was released for his previous group Unicess. Kid (ex Orion) joined; Scorpie (ex Crest) joined briefly before moving on to F4CG; germans Elwood and Scum joined from Abyss; Hires joined from Internal Affairs; norwegian coder and swapper Unix joined from Quintex; Yoga joined with Divine from Unicess; Ispace left the group for Duel. Prior to the release of Internal 2, the group had experienced some problems with their original supplier, and thus they were unable to make releases, and therefore lost their american section. This mag announced Ziggy had joined from Legend, thus giving the group a supplier again. The magazine listed Einstein, Divine, Chacke, Apollo, Jones, Yoga, Hitch, Kid, Humanoid, Tornado, Zod, Elwood, Unix, Scum, Hires and Ziggy as active members.
The first 'real' issue of Internal, Internal 3 (subtitled The Next Generation) was released at Venlo in january 1991, announcing that supplier Ziggy (who had joined from Legend not much earlier) had left the scene. This left the group once again without an original supplier, but the group held had an internal meeting in Antwerp to discuss their supplier problems, and were confident that they would sort out their problems. It further announced a lot of new members; Vincent (whose logo was used in both the last and this issue) from Fresh; Hires from Internal Affairs (who was already announced in the last issue); Jake The Snake, The Exorcist (who promptly changed his handle to The Overlord); Birdman; Ranko from Akrak; Rainman from Energy; Ispace who rejoined after a brief spell in Duel; Mayday from Disoner and Clive. Elwood was caught by both the post and the police, and so had to stop all swapping. Internal 4 was released at Venlo in february, and presented the news that Cruel had joined from Energy, and that Beachtiger and Death Stalker had joined from Mega Power Design. Belgian swapper Tornado left for F4CG early in the year. Hunter left WOW in november after having some problems with Matt, and joined Talent.
