The Scene as it was.
I was in The Scene, therefore, I know what went on in the C64 scene. I see TOP GROUPS listed over there on the side display and I see DD listed #2, okay, I can buy alittle of that, Robin was a good dude, but there was only 1 number UNO in all of the C64 scene... and as much as I hate to admit, it was ESI, ONLY. Far and away, this group did more for C64 than any group, ever. Fairlight and Red Sector were a close second but not even close to Eaglesoft. |

Vanja, excellent style and humour ;-)
That's different, Radar was never part of the original scene, he was just delusional :) |

Quote: Oh, the answer rocks alright, but alas, I don't think it matters: people like Adam will never understand that the scene didn't die when they left. No matter how much evidence you have that it didn't.
Also, it kind of occurred to me that it's always somebody from the states who has this outlook on our scene. Dropping in, almost demanding respect for stuff he or his peers did way back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, and then leaving again if it doesn't happen, we've seen it many times before.
I say: it's about time some European dude from the early scene comes by and does the same .. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL GODDAMIT!
Dude, what have you been smoking. There WERE no early European sceners, all you liberal pinko euros had tapedrives instead of diskdrives until Ronald liberated your continent from Soviet rule, just like we saved your asses in WW2 *and* WW1 *and* Iraq, OMFG. DAMN RIGHT, SHOW ME SOME RESPECT, BITCH |

I guess Vanja has already expressed what most of us euro/demo sceners feel.
I'll just add that no matter how you put it - I really can't see how you can fail to see the importance of Crest?
They have released quality demos for almost 20 YEARS!
ESI was active for what, a couple of years? Without the demoscene the C64 would have been dead by 1991. So when you compare:
A) Pioneer cracking group. Active for a couple of years.
B) Quality demo group, helping keeping the scene alive for TWENTY years.
Atleast to me it's clear that B is the greater accomplishment and therefore deserving of the first spot. |
