Fuzzy Cats

Hey there,

I remember times when we set anything which does more than display gfx or(!) play music as a one-filed demo category. However, times change, nowadays those times seem gone, the releaser pretty much decides what category something is, no matter if that makes sense or whether we like it, I just _decribe_ the phenomenon that it doesn't seem to matter if a music release contains a fullscreen gfx or a gfx release contains (even hitherto unreleased) music. I keep being confused sometimes, but am mostly fine with that.

However, having that in mind and looking at older entries, I think if a 1980s or 1990s release with a scroll and a logo mentions Init and Play address, we can assume, the _purpose_ the authors had in mind, was to release music.

That's why I've just switched
Royal Jammin' and
Radiodramas!
Edit: plus Galawaying
from "One-File Demo" to "C64 Music".

Hope these cases are clear, but am open to suggestions/opinions.

agreed, I wasn't even paying attention to the release type there, but they're only music releases. Even super complex players like these
Beat Bites
Movement
Early Potato

can be confused as demos but they're really just "c64 music" releases =)
