How many years does the C64 have remaining?
With activity down, combined with appearances of sceneres releasing old stuff created years back, I wonder how much the C64 scene can continue?

Hard to say. Looking at the statistics of CSDb, the lowest point of activity was around 1999-2001. After that activity seem to have risen. I might be biased, but I really like the way things are moving right now.
Nice hardware is developed, demos are becoming very personal, graphics and sid-music have entered a completely new era, stylewise. I believe this old machine have quite some years left. |

We'd have a paradox if it did. |

I think the scene'll be around as long as there are working C64's. That said, it'd be nice to see some new stuff released, particularly some proper demos. Oh well, there are parties ahead... With luck, people will take the time to sit down and actually create something. I know I've been bad at it recently - no excuses! |

lol, what a question :D
as long as any real hardware still works it lives...
and after that, someone finally will make a clone with all the real abilities of the original hardware...
and if not, welcome to the emuscene ;) |
