Hey guys,

Great to you people and Morrissey your list does bring back memories. I was one of the demoscene Euros calling out back then, and I remember talking to lot of cool colleagues from the states. EU / US was very divided then, was a shame .. Hard to believe how different "the world" was before internet.

Damien (Doctor O) was one of my closest contacts overseas back then, i remember talking for hours and hours with him (and his gf/wife i think?). Morrissey, sounds like you found him?! Where, when, how? Do tell??

Steve.

I mentioned your name to him and he says he does clearly remember you and all. Told me to tell you 'whats up man'.

Well, I dont know if I can give out the locale of where he's at, but hes about 50 miles or so from me. Went over to visit him for a small bbq party with a few friends... hung out and talked about old times.

We did take the time to look at alot of our demos, and he hooked me up with all the c64 emu stuff i needed. Man it brought back memories. Also we took a look at the new PC stuff man (demos), and shit, we've certainly missed the bus! but it was fun, and now we are in contact often. A Shame it took almost 15 years to find him though...

Take care all, I'll keep poking my head in once in a while!

Hey Morr... I remember your alias as well.. I'm not sure if we were ever friends.. but i certainly remember FBR.. FBR was again another one of the real deals along with exodus (XDS).. not these crapy knockoffs you read about today... my 2 closest FBR friends were candyman (david.. WOW HE DIED?!?!?) and Oahawhool..

alot of the ppl and the scene is somewhat cloudy.. man i've done alot since then..

I did hear from Gene/ILS and we were always tight.. Shout out kid!

Also I see OEP floating around.. HAHA george! oh man we had fun rippin on bod all those late nights.. drop me an email so we can catchup a little.. The Addiction!

Without a doubt, we were a part of the c64 boom.. I'm reading some of this new stuff around here.. and man.. they're all clueless.. we had it all.. unlimited 0 day warez.. unlimited #s for our euro friends.. unlimited fiber optic codes for crystal clear calling overseas (this was great for importing at 300-1200 BPS LOL)... unlimited voice mail accounts.. unlimited trw reports/cc#s.. unlimited teleconferencing.. etc etc.. it was a once in a lifetime experience without a doubt.. man some of the things we used to do.. just insane..

i cant even begin to remember how many games i released with the help of the exodus crew.. monster classic games too.. outrun, ghouls n ghosts, etc etc.. and these were the REAL 0 day versions.. not the ripped version you may see today... they all now have hacked up intros that were ripped from our original releases...

i've noticed grim reaper running around here.. (whats up dave!).. i saw you posted some stuff about exodus here.. last thing i remember was dropping out and you basically taking my spot.. later i vaguely remember stan calling me saying something along the lines of xds was shutting down.. it was all over.. me and you used to spend alot of time on the phone too.. i remember you were originally in some other group and made you way into xds after awhile.. i remember being happy about it too because i had always liked you...

anyways as i said, we were all part of it when it was real.. naturally when we died, the c64 was on its way out anyways.. virtually obsolete.. as technology naturally goes.. games were no longer being released.. and things headed toward the amiga.. and now we all eventually ended up here on windows.. hahaha

feel free to write or stay in touch with me... i have over 30 e-commerce websites with over 30 products.. also on the side, i specialize in website design and search engine optimization... i'm still living in NY and have a newly built (2004) 2200 sq ft lake front home on lake ontario.. im still single (hahaha!) and own a brand new hummer h2, corvette, jetskis, etc etc etc... my companies are very successful and i'm still working my ass off everyday... you can reach me at schlafer.com

i would really like to shout out to the ppl i remember most (if any of you ever read this).. this is in no ranking and pls drop me a note if you do stumble upon this...

Joel,

I can still hear that old womanizing New York accent. So are we like legends or something?
