History

It all started with a local MSX club in a town called Valthermond (MSCV or MSX Software Club Valthermond), organized by Omega, where the three founding members met. After a while they joined up and founded the group. Some productions were released in cooperation with an MSX club from Enschede which became known as MSX CODE, MSX Club Overijssel Drenthe en omstreken. (Sound Gallery disks)

There also was a relation with Impact, because members MCS and Omega knew a few of their members personally. Later on Omega assisted Impact (code for The Ant) and after their group disbanded he and Hitsoft continued with Dreamscape. Omega also founded the Impact BBS and Hitsoft was sysop of Dreamscape BBS.

Trivia

• The KSS (Konami Sound System) and MMP (MSX Music Player) tools for Windows were created by TBM. They were popular for remaking MSX music because each channel could be muted individually. Currently tools are offline (working on that!)
• Techno Crew was the first to release a patch so ANMA's Relax demo could be run on MSX2 instead of MSX turbo R (Sorry Andre!)
• MCS was the first user ever to log on at Fony's BBS (operated by TFH)
• Omega was maintainer of the Funet MSX Archive from 1996 to 2006 when it was taken down. Omega is still keeping the archive online at msxarchive.nl.
• The former Live365 online radio station MSX Radio was operated by Omega
• MCS has been co-sysop of Hacktrack BBS, founded by Wiebe Weikamp (Zapp). Btw: this is coincidence and has nothing to do with TCAV :)
