World of Wonders was an Amiga cracking group, active from 1988. New Stuff was likely an early release, and text within read; "_a new consolidation is born between: bfbs , dma , megaforce , orion , rage and dns , the hellion and mr.x which is called: world of wonders !!!" - giving a pretty good idea of the intitial member status.
Swapper adverts in Cracker Journal 9 (september 1988, pointing to a PLK in Aachen, Germany), Cracker Journal 10 (november 1988, pointing to a PLK in Leverkusen, Germany), Cracker Journal 11 (december 1988, pointing to PLK's in Leverkusen and Solingen, Germany), Cracker Journal 12 (january 1989) and Cracker Journal 13 (march 1989, both pointing to a PLK in Aachen, Germany). Advert for selling software in Exceller 8 2 (february 1989), listing an address in Kelmis, Belgium. In an article in Cracker Journal 15 (july 1989), Wiz proclaimed World of Wonders had entered into a cooperation with Italian Cracking Service.
Crazy Cars II (march 1989) listed The Next Generation, Relax, Mr. Unique, Metallica, Matrix 9, Kontrasoft, Guardian, Godfather, Derek, BFBS, Balthazar, Backfire and A-Ha as active members. A memberlist from april revealed BFBS had since disappeared from the list, but that Chris, Mixoplex, The Corsair and Terramax were new additions. The group then disbanded in late april or early may, and several members (Balthazar, Metallica, Kontrasoft, The Hellion, The Corsair, Chris, Derek, Eurosoft, Matrix 9, Relax and The Guardian) went on to form a new group called Paranoimia. P.E.N.I.S. 3 (june 1989) reported, "World of Wonders are finally D E A D !!! They formed a new group which released at first the game 'Datastorm' ! Their name is : Paranoimia !?!"
This group is considered disbanded, and all members are set to previous members.
