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?

B will take a long long time. remember, c64 was the most sold computer ever. there are millions and millions of them out there. (and most sceners i know have 10, or 20, or more =P).
and uh, those "big" demos come out more or regulary still :) |

I guess the anwser is:
A) The moment people stop creating C64 wares ;)
B) The moment all C64 hardware dies.
I am curious, sir, did you really have to start a thread and ask people's opinions before you were able to reach that conclusion, or did you know the anwser all the time?
Do you remember what your original question was? If your anwser is indeed correct, then #$0a+#$0b = #$15 = 21 years, the C64 will die 21 years from now!

This is really shocking news, you mean we destroy the C64 by using PC tools? :(

I had my own ideas, and wanted to hear those of others first.

From a hardware perspective my C64's were dead anyway. From a wares perspective, the creation of graphics using a PC has helped bloat the C64's wares library further. The graphics still have the same feel to them, as they were pixel pushed. Although I have to confess, the powerful Photoshop font funtion can't be ignored.
Has any else noticed fonts in C64 improve over the past few years? as I have :)

(not including wired pictures) I think World of Code was one of the 1st demos to use fonts wired from a computer other than a C64.
