Some guy made a collection of single file .prg's without intros (for loading speed):

CSDb mods are the only true sceners - knew it all the way.
Hm, now how to humiliate all the others - esp. those with "friends"?

Reminds me of the trivia here Xidex - sometimes you need to tell the world... :)

Was there ever the slightest doubt?

Well. We did vote about it to be sure. Now we know.

Back in the 80s and 90s I had maybe 20 5.25" floppies and the space on them was precious to me. I also removed intros from everything that I could, so I could put more stuff on those floppies. Also used programs to populate tracks 37-40.

When I made my first 128kb cartridge, I also tried to remove intros from everything, so I could put more programs on it. Spent 2-3 days making my "perfect 128k compilation".

since you confessed that crime the scene may forgive you, but only if you now do another compilation with intros where games are removed :)

As much as I love intros, SID music, and the scene, I still think that games are best preserved with the copy protection removed and a nice fastloader, but nothing else added. ...

I disagree. I'd rather opt for crack intros without the game. The intros are more often than not the only thing that matters.

Seriously, intro-stripping not lame anymore in 2020? Totally whacko to even imagine that.

from the lemon post:
Quote:
"But as I've recently been playing C64 games with my 8 year old son, I wanted a collection without additional menus and decrunching steps to minimise the fuss of playing games"

that's the least impressive excuse I've heard in quite some time. Don't get me wrong, nothing bad about having 'original' copies (i mean original & physical disk/tape, not a copy of it) but this person needs to drop the story from the land of fantasy and make believe. If an 8yo can't work out the mysteries of pressing space and y or n then it'd be time to look at the parenting skills of this person writing that lemon post.

There is no disagreement here. Intros for us, games for everyone.

C64 intros brought me to ze scene, not C64 games. So "games without intros for everyone" means less attraction power for those who live in that world and want to enter the dark side.
