Vice Tribute gone

Hi,

I assume some admin removed our latest release, Vice Tribute. I am puzzled why this happened and why I wasn't informed?

Hit Trap! No, we're not that evil. :)

It was never deleted: Vice Tribute. You could still reach it with entry number 189842. Problem was a bug not showing "Related release" release type. Interesting. It's now a C64 one file demo again (even if it's more of a C64 related demo, as it only works fully in an emulator, and not on a real C64).

its not a bug, "related releases" are not shown by default - this releasetype was once created to push the stuff there that shouldnt be in the db in the first place

Wouldn't "C64 Misc." be a good compromise?

Rather "Other Platform". :) As it works fully only on other platforms. C64 Misc is still for the C64 platform.

or just leave it "c64 demo"? it runs fine on a c64 after all - just some of the output looks different on emulator. (its not the first demo that does this, btw)

why not define what an "import" is instead? that would actually be useful afterall ;=)

One could leave it too, indeed, but then add a screenshot that actually shows what a C64 would show. Remember Errata - We Are Failure, we had a screenshot from a real C64 until we found that hoxs64 actually shows the demo correctly.

ok, thanks guys.

I cant help but wonder a bit that you are discussing the category of this production. It runs 100% on stock hardware, so IMO it's a simple onefile demo. I won't look as intended, but technically it meets the requirements.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for all your hard work - mountains of respect and love to you! ... oh, I noticed the sorting of Top Demos has been inverted, so a release with less votes but same score, ranks higher than one with more votes and same score :) Misleading if you ask me.

It does. So you are right. It just needs an accurate screenshot then, as the one that's there now is not really what would show on a C64, right? :) That is my point.
