Releases with never-found hidden parts?
Someone told me about a hidden part in Pretzeled (Pretzeled) that hasn’t been “officially” found as yet (there’s a clue how to find it but no 100% instructions)… and it got me thinking… are there many others out there unfound..? |

Haha, well, like with the demo I mention, there are some where the makers have declared the parts but they’ve never been found ;p
I might be wrong by the way but I believe i was the one who found an old Tony Crowther demo on one of his games.. before joining the scene i was “employed” to make cheats/pokes for games .. which was similar to how tape games were cracked I guess (intercepting each section of a loader until the game was fully loaded). Anyway, I found an extra set of init code on whatever game it was - SYS’ing the alternate start gave the demo. AFAIK there wasn’t a way to access the demo other than SYS’ing it before starting the game. So that was a whole hidden demo…!
But anyway, I’m sure there’re other demos with hidden parts undeclared… |

Well, it's a pretty obvious hint, press restore in the demo.
There are other entries that need to enter the hidden info yes.
Be aware if you write the hidden info in their demo entry, they gets their pants twised because "it was mEaNt t0 bE a sEcReT" "yoU SpOiLeD tHe FuN" and so on.
Well, fuck you guys, this is a scene database maintained by everyone with an account, and if one has extra info to enter, it will be entered, even if you don't like it. |

Who complained about hidden part info being revealed? =)
(And they should have done the hiding more properly then.)
There's an extra field for that for a reason. |

for example https://csdb.dk/release/?id=41460&show=hidden
but I had to remove others I don't remember right now due to similar complaints
I see now that after 18 years nobody entered any of the other hidden parts in it. GJ |

Well… that’s quite an obscure clue tbh :p
A bit more difficult than, say, Bonzai’s “boot from side 2”! |

nice topic.
I always wondered why in c64 slang those things are called "hidden parts" instead of a IMHO more appropriate and sexier "Easter eggs". |

probably because those things are called (demo) parts by default, so hidden part is a logical extension.
also probably because in other languages easter egg is not an expression for something hidden. to my ears both words and the expression to my brain is terrible.
edit: oh its ze-smasher, I will never forget those IRC times, lets play ZE game ! :D |

Quiss told me at X that there is one RFX demo left where a hidden part has not been found yet.
Given the Trivia info of it, Radio Napalm could be the candidate. Also Quiss being the creator. But I didn't dive in much deeper than running a breakpoint for keyboard action. |
