Adverts in Cracker Journal 14 (May 1989) and Cracker Journal 15 (July 1989) listing an address in Aachen, Germany and offering selling of software. A may 1989 release without a crackintro listed Bad Fat, Balthazar, Chris, Derek, Eurosoft, Kontrasoft, Matrix 9, Mr. Fly, Metallica, Relax, Sex Machine, The Corsair, The Guardian and The Hellion as their members.
