The Scene as it was.
I was in The Scene, therefore, I know what went on in the C64 scene. I see TOP GROUPS listed over there on the side display and I see DD listed #2, okay, I can buy alittle of that, Robin was a good dude, but there was only 1 number UNO in all of the C64 scene... and as much as I hate to admit, it was ESI, ONLY. Far and away, this group did more for C64 than any group, ever. Fairlight and Red Sector were a close second but not even close to Eaglesoft. |

Recently (a few months ago) I tried explaining my girlfriend about the C64, the scene, etc. When I realized a few hours later that I had been enthusiastically talking about it for hours and she was actually interested like a child listening to stories at a campfire.. Hey I felt so proud of being able to tell someone about the time when mostly teenage children worked together as true pirates ;)
People actually pay serious money to find similar experiences in secondlife.com to escape from reality, we fought and took risks for an experience to was far better.. I will never regret breaking rules and taking risks, it was all worth it for me!

tried this too.. got laughed at and called a lazy thrillseeking nerd :)
But yeah, great times explaining to Australia Post how a blonde haired kid would have a lebanese name like fadi (fah-dee). Swapping warez on the bus on the way home was also very cool, not to mention showing porno magazines out the back window of the bus :)

@Knoekie:
Grin, why be sorry mate? You are entitled to your opinion and you have good ground for it too, and last but not least Im quite sure theres enough people agreeing with you actually!
I just wanted to give you an insight why cracks/cracking are important to some sceners, or at least why they ment to me ;)
@Fade

Bordeaux: The only way to get your non-computer friends to listen to c64-music is to play some of the wonderful remixes out there and THEN throw in the original sid-version. Lure them into at trap. ;-) What I have experince is that non-computer peoples and PC freaks tend to be very impressed when I show them som fullscreen graphics from Bob, Dokk, Leon and others. THEN they start to understand whats being achieved here. Specs of the c64 vs what they see on the screen so to speak. I have already given up trying to explain what we did back then. Either folx just are interesting in the illigal parts carding,cracking cheating with stamps and so on or they just think we where some geekclub alienating us from the rest of the world. Maby the latter isnt such bad way of seeing it! ;-) |

Icon :) Hehe.. yeah tried that too with good remixes, however the obvious one there is hey, the people you admire moved on to real sounds, why dont you.. grin, I cant blame them really.
Well hey isnt that actually the whole point here.. opinions?
When being a young scener I always regretted being a few years to young to have missed the 86-88 scene times more hands on and only viewing from the sidelines.. years later realizing that sid-wise I was blessed, perfect timing to hear sid after sid as a new tune that still are in my favorites even today. (imho there are very few sids that appeal to me prior to 1988 and I do not like most acclaimed classics at all). Funny how I changed views like that..
Sigh, actually come to think of it, I never even thought there would be a day that I would miss diskmagazines.. we were swamped with them, but even that time has come now, damnit I even miss the ones I hated (some I received 30-40 times per month).
So all of you just keep filling that void for me.. this forum actually is a great replaced ;)
