An amazing archive of pre-web culture long lost to the tides of time.
I wish I wasn’t too young when this shit was around now I have no idea where to look for stuff like this

This documentary is brilliant!
Idk why man, but this is my 3rd time watching this in 12 hours. I wish you would’ve made more like this!

Best of the best
Great video. I was part of that culture and part of the masses that moved to AOL and began using cracked Photoshop and Visual Basic to make all sorts of shenanigans for AOL and various other applications. Thus began my journey into a life of tech projects.
Excellent work! Brings back memories.
This was so good man. I loved every second of it
One of my favourite videos on UA-cam as of now, and I watch a lot! Thank you for your efforts...
Now that is dynamic narration! Makes Lorenzo Music seem like a hopped up speed freak.
What a cool & fun watch! I wish there was more stuff out there like this & that talks about Warez, Scene. Etc. Thanks for this video, it was brilliant!
God… so MUCH nostalgia… I miss the good old days :(
Nice to see your take on computing history
Well done and beautiful. Thank you.
remember cost couple leech slots on a top site to get an artist to do art for your group tag. brings back memories late bbs early internet
God tier video and it'll be in everyone's recommended for sure one day or another
This is super well done man
Yup was there and I do remember most of those ANSI ...ahh the good old days of trying to high memory mouse.sys :)
Takes me back to 7th grade, and my Commodore 64 / 300 baud modem days.
Brilliant. This vid should have more views.
Excellent!
amazing work. really sad to see it has so little views
Awesome video! You should do more like it.
Awesome video! Any chance you could share the name of the song used at 23:06?

@@kevinbouton-scott4589 Can you list the complete soundtrack for this documentary?
Great video!
That was great!
Trick groups are made in advance before bbses were popular even.
Had to do this my own way as I felt I would be arrested for piracy, but still wanted to do it while being flexed on that I was surveilled.
Goodbye Randy... You'll be missed.
i really miss the good ole' days
Who did that Body Count piece? Thats amazing!!!!
Sick.
Final jab at the warez scene. If you want to see an actual opinion of it.
This was developed by USA to give them outs and to show that programs were getting cracked, and hacked all the time without them.
So they would code different variants of keys that would be easily seen in a consumer editor so people could see that it was indeed possible to crack a program that way.
This is to an extent only but would give USA an out when bugs were noted etc..
People sold to it, both other countries and in espionage (though I dont know anyone in Canada there). I did know other countries went there to sell sides and opinions.
They will still do it even after I call out this though most things have moved to online versions of gaming and programs.
People went with it because it would both take it from USA and relieve certain tactics though no one know the extent of what it would be at the time. Whether it was a positive for them to push or neutral.
People had a hard time selling to cracking and such and it was a noticeable gap in the scene on the internet.
People also said it was to sell companies and such and the ability to go into tech without usa backing in their country but this wasn't the case as every other country knew that usa pushed their own industry.
Those same flaws were in other countries programs though and compilers and such were restricted.
le memory lane
Great music choices mate. This is fantastic. thank you.
**edit: well, until that closer wasn't exactly my cup of tea. still rad video though! haha
This video has SOME mentions of Warez, but it's MOSTLY a discussion of ANSI art, and it's ties to BBSes. Nice to see my THG mentioned though.
That's true, but it's called the ART of warez. Somewhat misleading title but it is technically correct. I guess.
a play on the art of war... respect to thg!
@@kevinbouton-scott4589 Thanks!
I remember ancient art of war being one of those must have warez back in the day.
Also, I knew Grim Reaper (Mike) and NotSoHumbleBable (amy) when that whole mess went down with the credit card fraud lol.
@@davidmitchell2761 AAoW was an OLD game! One of the first PC games that I saw pirated. There was a later one called AAoW at Sea (IIRC) that I think I cracked. :-)
How does this have so few views
Is there a database where all this artwork lives? Where did you source?
What is this maplestory dungen bg music
Where did you get all these ascii drawings?
You have very good knowledge of the Warez scene , was part of it in Quebec and we did crack of it lol, Ya you mentioned Elite vs Square , a very good topic yes Elites are a bit of Snobes and have a dissing attitude vs peoples asking how to and 101% of the time are Jerks ... and you are right lol . I am Elite and problem is we Hunt for Knowledge and back in the days , not much was written about how to crack how to run a bbs how to just use you computer so its not your Uncle toaster , it take lots and lots and lots and even more time invested in that quest for computer knowledge How many days Gf was in bed ready and all BUT had to finish that line of code...oups now its another line that does not work WHY ... HEy We are drinking and having wana come ? Nann I am doing someting right now and wil loose my train of tought if i quit now ! so back to computer again SO its cool but yeah and when you dont know stuff and they only way to know this or have acces to that is to pay good money ... well you pay and this will happen a lots of time :) SO when ask hey how to I use that crack on this well we mostly not tell , Same for ANSI at first no body share how they whre doing it , then you start copy you learn and you do better , same for warez scene it was a competition on who crack it first and legs got broken , and big arguments , Even got Chinese mafia trying , well not trying but saying that my stuff belong to them now so yeah ...Elites are a specials brand of peoples that was there first and with strong egos , but are also prety awsome and cool so I miss my Trs-80 and my 80286 :) Cheers all the 80-90 where a fun ride only complain is in our Mind computing was like now but with what we had its just a miracle that it Happen :) I wanted a Quest 3 in the 90s but got Nitendo Vr ...was very disapointed :) lol
Man this is top notch! It's hard to believe it only has a couple thousand views and Tana Mongo could record a fart and get millions. It's just plain wrong.
this is a rip that went up on youtube a few hours after the film was released (which was awesome) , its proper host is through safecrackers . com / vimeo, it did get a lot of nice press actually, vice/juxtapoz/gizmodo/medium/flash art/etc .
@@kevinbouton-scott4589 Hey! Thanks for doing the film, I am really glad to hear that you did get coverage from the tech sites (even though I missed it). Do you have any intentions of doing something else in this vane? It was posted on r/Documentaries and that's where I first saw it, but I actually checked out safecrackers probably not too long after I wrote this comment. I really enjoyed it. I wasn't into the scene way back when but I was aware of it. So it was cool to see that people are doing what they can to preserve it. Good work man! Thanks again.
13:46 Who comes to mind when you think of a hacker??
Àscii was still strong with ftp sites

make an ansi of electroboom😁
Good documentary but you’ve shown a total lack of respect to the ansi artists by distorting most of their work to the wrong aspect ratio. It’s all 4:3 stuff in that era. You’ve warped it all.
i am actually one of the artists featured in here and I don't feel disrespected at all. In fact, you just absolutely made my day that something I did 30 years ago is still being appreciated by at least one or two people today lol.
