Okay, I'll bitch. :)

I came to CSDb in the hope of meeting some of the guys that coded the C64 demos/mags/games masterpieces that I could only dream about, and to enjoy some nostalgia of the great days of the C64. I was never really part of the 'mainstream' scene, and definately didn't know much of the politics.

And I was in (short) contact with a guy named Slartibartfast (who used to write for an Australian Amiga magazine). We shared demos and stuff, and I had a few walkthroughs and maps for games printed in the mag. Long time ago. So I decide to find out what happened to him, and like I said, enjoy some nostalgia... and after a lot of searching, all I can find is some guy named Wanderer bitching about him, like it's the only thing he knows how to do.

I understand that there was/are disagreements, wars, disputes and politics in the scene... and I know there's two sides to everyone's story... but geez, I can hardly find a thing from Slarti himself, it's mainly Wanderer acting like the schoolyard bully that we all hated in school.

If anyone wants to clarify or tell me anything (without laying blame or accusing anyone) about where Slarti is, or what became of him, please let me know. I respect the guy and he was keen to teach me some stuff, until our lives went in different directions.

Apart from that, thanks to everyone who contributed to the scene -- I had some of the best times admiring all those quality cracks, demos and releases from you all. Just not the politics.

Peace!


[EDIT: I've discovered some more information since I've registered. And I think perhaps I've unwittingly wandered into a crossfire of slagging here... if I've re-opened or irritated any wounds, please ignore me!! Oh and sorry for resurrecting a 6-month old thread too. Gah.]

Slarti is still around, but he's busy with other real-world projects. He's a kingpin for a popular CMS project, and he's currently knee-deep in code trying to integrate the product with a javascript based GUI effects library.

I speak with him nearly every day. He hasnt gone anywhere. wdr seems to think slarti left the scene because of his silly game, but nothing could be further from the truth. I spoke with slarti the other day about the possibility of more demos and he seemed pretty keen.

Ignore the wanderer stuff, slowly people are learning to ignore him. Perhaps soon the scene can return to normality :)

Are you in Australia btw?

Ahh okay, sweet. Good to see he's still around - I was always amused by his offbeat sense of humour (and vocabulary!) :D Hope I can catch up with him eventually and say Hi.

Thanks for the speedy and informative reply, Style. And yeah, I'm an Aussie... specifically, a Tassie. Nice to know there's a few of us Aussies around :)

Not only are there a few of us Aussies, but a few Tasmanians as well (Jazzcat and Vengeance).

Yeh, Slarti is a good laugh :)

So true... I was probably the only one italian who went there for the fun of the windows gals as I hate any kind of drug, I didn't like that. Luckly then I found Kaiserstrasse in Frankfurt ;-)

Amsterdam is bigger than just the red light district...
Few tourists seem to notice.
