The band Scooter started with the C64...

... and did anybody know H.P. Baxxter's handle back then or was he active in the scene?

Never heard of it. But it was noteworthy ,saw it in a little documentary:

At least he tells it there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMd9UWTALv4 I remember this storming my area in late 90. I prefer to remember X-Ample things from Thomas, definitely :P

Rayne: more precise:

C64 is mentioned explicitly although I would not really bet my ass that H.P. remembers system correctly.

My feeling is more what groepaz sez: rather early 16 bit stuff

According to YouTube Baxxter created music in "Rick's" cellar. Wikipedia states that Rick built a studio in his cellar after their first group, which existed from 86-93, discolved. Therefore Baxxter must have had a C64 in his cellar in/after 93... unless they made music in Rick's cellar without a studio.

This left aside it sounds a lot more like an Amiga (500 perhaps) to be honest.

I think the essential fact here is the address, i.e. Leer/Germany, which according to Wikipedia is the city where HP Baxxter (Hans Peter Geerdes) was born. I think that makes it safe to assume that it's the same person.
Also the alien in the intro looks a lot like him... :)

If it's not fake, it would be nice to look at the code...
Since it would probably reveal if real or not.

Coding back then was more limited...
