Remember was a German-based c64 cracking group, dedicated to releasing old games in new, 'definitive' versions. They were formed in early (likely january or february) 1997 by Jack Alien and Hok. The first release was Stormbringer in february. Some information from their homepage, called 'Immortal Antiques'.
Intruder was a member from at least april, and he and the two founders were the only three members at least up to august 1997. The group started promoting the German bbs The Dragon's Tower in their intros in september and october, then the advertising stopped. A fourth member was admitted in october, when English supplier Derbyshire Ram (also in F4CG) joined. The group was further strengthened during the final days of november, when Dodger and Fatman joined from Dytec. Derbyshire Ram changed his second group in november of december, from F4CG to Alpha Flight 1970. Derbyshire Ram, who had previously only supplied originals for the group, contributed his first crack in december. Fatman also started contributing originals in december.
The january 1998 release Mega-Apocalypse listed Dodger, Fatman, Intruder, Derbyshire Ram, Jack Alien and Hok as active members. Fatman and Dodger were new members, but Dodger did not stay for long and left within a few months. Manik joined from Laxity and Thorn joined from Avantgarde in july, and Thorn debuted with his first crack for the group in august. The first ever Remember meeting was arranged on the 30th of august. L'Trimm appears to have been added to the memberlist in september, without any additional announcement. Another new advent in september was the first announcement of their homepage "Immortal Antiques", with release #136, "Leviathan". L'Trimm's joining was announced in october. Another member was recruited in december; american cracker and fixer Fungus.
