hey creamd ;-)
huh, now we are waiting for the first group who'll write -the making of...- book.
is it not a bad idea to make a dvd or something more multimedia? more possibilities and you can skip the dull parts or read/see them later.
im talking about interviews, making of a demo...some history, some avi or divx stuff from parties..i know its possible it already exist..but where?
-2 start press any key..where is the any key?- |

and while were at it:
have an extremely interesting read of the c64 at this wonderful site.
c64's history:
http://www.commodore.ca/products/c64/commodore_64.htm
CBM's history:
http://www.commodore.ca/history/company/chronology_portcommodor..
wow and just found this gem, an interview with jack tramiel himself:
http://www.commodore.ca/history/people/1989_you_dont_know_jack...
commercials and interview clips:
http://www.commodore.ca/gallery/video/video.htm
and this is the most interesting IMHO, an article of the design history of the c64. (now you can learn why we have only 8 sprites, why there are no wavetables in sid, etc:)

have a good read! |

So how big a part of this book is actually talking about the C64 demo scene? From the seven preview pages I couldn't spot much C64 action... :( |

Wouldn't it be a massive TV report, doing interviews with sceners and visiting parties & stuff? :-)
Books are for nerds... |
