Anyone heard of Austriasoft?
category: general [glöplog]
Hi - this is a very random question, but does anyone know anything about the cracker group Austriasoft, and/or the 1993 C64 game “Gerhard Berger’s Formula One Quiz”?
I’m a writer and journalist working with a motorsports magazine on a feature about early motorsport games, and I’m trying to find out more about this one. I think it might not have been a preexisting commercial product but something produced by the cracker group Austriasoft, of which CSDb has a record of being active in the '80s. I've emailed with a few people from groups like Trance, Troep, Amnesia, Garbage, Beatniks, who made cracks of the Austriasoft original, but nobody really remembers anything about where this game first came from or anything about Austriasoft.
I was invited to throw the question open here to see if the name Austriasoft rings any bells for anyone. If you have any information that might help it would be amazing.

((( no )))
Maybe ask the people from stayforever.de
They are veterans of the gaming industry from the 1980s and 1990s onwards and have a podcast plus forum about really old video games. 70s, 80s and everything newer.
German journalists but they might know about the Austrian scene as well.
