scene activity
more and more i get the feeling that the my world (the scene) has become smaller and smaller. after a chat with the overkiller it was clear to me that the dutch scene isn't alive anymore and the italian scene either.
but what about the polish scene, the slovak scene and the german scene? how did the c64 survive through all the modern thinkings and technology?
sure as hell i bet the german scene survived because the pc-sceners adopted the c64 on their parties like mekka+symposium.....

Well, I think scene stays here in Germany, because more and more wanted to stay with C64 and suppport with services like hardware/software development, magazines, and coding, so releases, etc.
But I think the future is the INTERNATIONAL C64 scene!
Don't you think so?!
All the best!
Bye!

No, please, not another discussion of that kind! ;-)
IMHO the reasons there are a lot of sceners on C64 left on Germany are simple:
First, I agree with Drake, because Germany is quite big; and through the reunion in ´90 it became even bigger, and quite some sceners joined in from eastern Germany.
And the second thing: Germany has always been quite wealthy (just a fact, no embarrasment meant to anyone!), so the C64 and computers in general sold and sell well in Germany, so lots of people spend their time with them. And its also still easy today to get a C64 for a cheap price.
Best wishes,
Bugjam

Why isn't the Dutch scene alive anymore?
You have Xenon, Scs+Trc, Spiders-crew, Flashback, Shrine, ... In comparison to the German scene, it is not much but it is still a piece of the scene which means something.

Slash Design, Focus, and if you consider Role a bit dutch as well, we're still active here ;)
If you really look at what happened last 3 years in the Netherlands, not much changed in the activity amount. It's real low, but there's still some pulse |

Czech scene has few active people, but slovak scene has currently three more-or-less active people Orcan, TopSecret and me ;-). So "we" aren't that big as someone might think. ;-) Maybe it's because you saw so many faces on Forever, but truth is that most of them came from abroad. Also, half of them were from other scenes (Speccy, Atari). |

To comment on the "scene activity"-topic;
Here in Sweden, we actually have had a big rise of the scene ever since we started with the smaller, scenecentered parties - LCP and Floppy. The scene today compared with what it was in 1999 is both a) a hell of a lot larger than it was back then and 2) far more active. Just check out the amount of releases on LCP and FLP during the last two years. So believe me, the local scenes can actually wake to life once again - don't despair! |

Well, Richard is as active as all the other scenes together. |
