| 18.06.2011 Turrican - Manfred Trenz Limited Edition Shirt A while ago, I found a small online shop offering shirts auf Turrican and Katakis in a "Manfred Trenz Limited Edition", which "were developed in cooperation with Manfred Trenz". I wondered what that meant and asked. Here is the answer of the shops owner and designer "Mr. Nerd": 
When having visited the "Symphonic Shades" (Chris Huelsbeck) Orchestra in Cologne I had recognized several people wearing pretty simple but also pretty cool shirts showing lines of code, computer screens or game cites.This had brought me to the idea of self developing similar shirts for myself which I had kind of forgotten when having been back into daily routine. Then, in midth of 2010, when flicking through a friend's "Retrogamer" magazines, the idea came back to my mind. I wanted my own shirts. And if somebody likes the designs he should be able to have one, too. My interests were and are none commercial. I simply wanted to offer "Share Wear": shirts for computer and game freaks and not getting rich. :) So after having ordered books with titles like "The ultimate history of video games", "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer" and "Das grosse Lexikon der Computerspiele" the idea became reality. I've noted down some game cites, motives, computer and game pioneers and started to create some raw designs to make my idea more visual. When having visited some arcades, observing two original Nintendo coin ops and flicking through more "Retrogamer" mags I finally was sure what to design. So the first categories with the appropriate motives had come to live. And while playing some games on my old AMIGA and flicking through "Das grosse Lexikon der Computerspiele" I'd said to myself: "Yes ! Those guys have stolen a lot of my time, because off me having played their damn good games! So not only games and cites are worth their own motives but even more the people behind all that !" And so I'd reflected which games were and are favorites and the most known and remembered ones. The list became pretty long, but one of the top most titles was: "Turrican". Turrican means among other things: Manfred Trenz. So for me it was clear: the next design MUST be dedicated to Turrican and to Manfred Trenz. Since my idea was to dedicate designs to the pioneers I thought of making Trenz the first one in the list. And to make the "Manfred Trenz" edition even more special I decided to make it a "Manfred Trenz Limited Edition", showing two well known - or the most known - games of Trenz: Turrican and Katakis. And so I'd contacted Manfred Trenz and told him about my idea. Trenz liked it and gave me his ok. To fully honor him I didn't want to only create the designs and publish them but to let him view them and make proposals concerning design changes. After having found and finished the final designs of "Turrican" and "Katakis" they went online and are now ready to be printed. And - naturally - the first shirts were printed for Manfred before the Limited Collection went online. Thanks to this little cooperation and to Manfred Trenz I'm pleased to offer the shirts to Trenz- and Turrican- as well as to Katakis-Fans. The shop is located at http://www.nerd-blog.de/. | ||||
