F4CG was a c64 demo and cracking group, based in Italy and Belgium, but with additional divisions in other countries.
Skin left around february 1990, to build a new demo group with Hitchhiker and some others. Speedy left the group around august, and is now groupless. Bart returned to the scene around august. Dash, Douglas and Sid were kicked in december...which is strange, since WOW's Internal 4 claims Douglas left the scene in january of next year for his army duty...? The commercial game "Puffys Saga" was released through UbiSoft around september, coded by The Wim. Internal 2 (december 1990) announced Scorpie had left Crest for WOW, before quickly moving on to F4CG. In december Jumpie left the scene12, and Sid was said to be the new leader of F4CG.2
Smasher joined when Crazy died in 1991, and Jumpie stopped swapping in january. Early in the year, sometime between february and april, two ex-Transcom members, Kid and Scorpio, were recruited. About this time they also recruited Belgian Tornado/WOW.
Sid rejoined in january 1992, after Hotline died.
Skyhigh #1 (january 1993) reported Calypso (also in Amnesia) left the group for Topaz Beerline. On the 17th of may, danish member Wolf was busted for phreaking. He has decided to stay in the scene anyway, but stop his phreaking. You can read about the bust in his own words in Fairlight's Reformation #4 diskmag. Mutant-X returned to the scene in august, calling out and hoping to reopen his board CHAOTIC ILLUSIONS.
September 1994 was an eventful month; Moloch (code supply) joined from Armageddon, and then he and Zirc0 (music) both joined RPG as their 2nd groups; previous member Mutant-X (previously trader and sysop of CHAOTIC ILLUSIONS) returned to the scene and joined as a hacker, only to leave again after disagreements with Moloch and the polish members; previous member Carcass rejoined the group; Morris (code) joined; Mr.Alpha left Rebels to be in F4CG only; Chiefy/Padua joined and finally rumours claimed that original member Mao had been killed in a tragic car accident. American supplier Eldamar joined around december.
The group received a pretty big boost around january 1995, when Swedes Newscopy, Walker, Scope and Motley all joined from Genesis Project. Syndicate changed his handle to H-Bloxx, left for TRSI, but rejoined almost immediately; Druid/Agony joined F4CG as his second group - all around january. Devil released the graphics editor "Drazpaint V2.0" in august. The group concentrated on building a SNES section around september, recruiting c64 profiles like Antitrack, Hobbit, Newscopy, Solar and Stormrider (sysop Tunnel of Wares) - who will serve as their snes whq. On the c64 side, Newscopy and Motley were pretty busy organizing their software house Cherry Software. Polish graphician Worm joined on trial basis. American cracker Fungus joined from Chromance late this year or early next.
Swedish coder and musician Zyron was recruited, while Decoder (music, 08/95-) and King (01/95-) were kicked due to inactivity, all in january 1996. Despite rumours to the contrary, Moloch is still a member.
1943 - The Battle of Midway mentioned Skid Row left Chromance for F4CG - presumably at some point in 1997. English supplier and cracker Derbyshire Ram joined Remember as his second group in october, then left F4CG entirely around november-december, and joined Alpha Flight 1970 as his first group instead. Skinhead and Skidrow left the group and Maja (crack, 01/95-) left the scene, due to internal disagreements.
American cracker Fungus left in 1999.
On july 31st 2012, Total Chaos' csdb profile was updated to reflect he was no longer a member of Fantastic 4 Cracking Group.
