3. Reborn under "Bastards International" name

The members were almost the same as the dead Factory ;-) .

3.1 Informations from the disk magazine Amazine issue 1 (all in the same issue)

A new cracking band born , it's called BASTARDS INTERNATIONAL. They've already released GRAND PRIX from Microprose and many others.They have sections in EIRE, Scotland,France,Canada,Yougoslavia, and Israel !!! ( no joke ! )

]---------------------------------------

Bastards international, Fuzion, KOPA have been phoned by men from OCEAN and TITUS like MAD VISION. One of the guy from OCEAN says he was ..D. of THE EMPIRE, but that now he works for OCEAN SOFTWARE.They have been asked to stop cracking.

]---------------------------------------

BASTARDS int. closed their french section. The rest of the team seems to sleep too.
