Q: Who are you, and what was your handle in the scene?
A: My name is Martin Frech. My handle in the scene was/is 'Spook of Powerzone'. My first handle in the scene was 'TSF', and I was in a group called 'M&M Worldwide'. I was also founder and leader of 'Ability'.
Q: In which groups were you when you were in the scene?
A: My first group was 'M&M Worldwide', a group I founded with my best friend. I then joined 'Powerzone', and later founded 'Ability'. For a short while, I was also a member of 'Spirit' under the handle 'Hike', but there were never any releases. Also, as 'Powerzone' was a member of 'Amok' for a while, so was I.
Q: Who or what is 'Powerzone'?
A: 'Powerzone' is the group that I was a member of in the C64 scene during my main swapping days.
Q: Who or what is or was 'Ability'?
A: 'Ability' was a programming connection I founded. The goal was for legal C64 sceners to put their talents to work and make some money programming games. There were quite a few commercial Ability releases, in fact (SoundBlaster and TriGet, to name a few).
Q: When did you enter the scene, and when did you leave it?
A: Well, I got my Commodore C64 sometime around 1984. It is hard to pinpoint when I entered the scene, but one of my very early swapping contacts via postal mail was Ultimax, later of the 'East Agents'. That must have been late 1984. I left the scene before finishing school in 1993.
Q: Who were your best friends in scene?
A: Well, having around 400 contacts means you have a lot of friends around the world. The most memorable are: All Powerzonians (Andreas Cloess, Markus Cloess, Thomas Wagner, Andre Weckeiser), Ruben and Rune Spaans (Scroll and Sparkler of Megastyle), Colyn Brookes, Martin Seegert (TGO of M&M), Nigel Brittain (Nigga of Ikon Visual), Tor Kemps (Scipio of Role), Ruediger Kohl (Stad of Magnetix) and Thorben Gerdes (Little Stegman) and Peter (The Destroyer) of the Coke Group.
Q: With whom did you swap in the scene?
A: Unfortunately, I never had a complete list (for obvious reasons...). However, I had contacts in a lot of countries, including all European countries, East Germany (when it was still the 'DDR'), Cyprus, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, South Africa and Canada.
Q: Where in the world did you have contacts?
A: I had contacts in a lot of countries, including all European countries, East Germany (when it was still the 'DDR'), Cyprus, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, South Africa and Canada.
Q: Which was your all-time favorite group / individual / demo?
A: Hard to say. I can not name just one. Some of the greatest groups of all time in my opinion are Megastyle and Horizon. Runners-up would be Science 451 and the Whiz-zard Association.
Q: What do you look like?
A: You can see a picture of me and all of the disks I ported in the 'creator' section.
Q: How can you be reached?
A: The best way to reach me is via email. I can be reached at: spook@c64demos.com. Postal mail addresses can be asked for via email.
