Careful with your email addresses
I've been poking around the nostalgia sites recently popping my email address up hoping to get in touch with old friends from the scene. Instead, old jealousy has found a way of poking it's ugly head out. I can't believe that jealousy like this still exists after, what, 20 years now?

raster boy lives again.... total lack of imagination raster boiiiiiiiiii
Only one person who ever refered to me as that. In fact, he has a web page up right now that refers to me as that. Man, can't believe some people can't let go. Hmm, actually it looks like he's updated it in the last few days. Luckily, Google still has it around. If you're interested, do a google search for +"wanderer" +"the survivors" +"raster boy"

In any event, as I stated, please be careful. It appears that some people out there are still bent out of shape over scene related issues.

This reminds me of the old ESI/UCF war. :) Lets put all this in a C64 war demo. :)
I wasted an hour reading this stuff. I guess I don't have a life. :)
Greets to Wanderer, Death Demon, and Shark!
Latez,

To be honest, I couldn't make a smooth scroller to save my life. I forgot how to make an interrupt. I know its $0314 and $0315 but I forget the location you move to shift the screen to the left, and the values to set to make the interrupt.
I am proud to say I could turn the screen black though.
LDA #$00
STA $d020
STA $d021
In all seriousness, what good would a war demo do? What good would ANY demo do? There are simply not enough people around on the scene to justify making any demos, in my opinion.

so, the 118 demos from 2004s, 123 from 2003 and 109 from 2002 was just made in vain? :)

Well, he convinced me. I stopped working on my new demo right away .. too bad, because it really would have been something special, it had sprites and everything! ;Z |

A movie producer who produces a movie which plays to empty theatres, has not made his movie in vain if it has brought him enjoyment. But it's a pity there aren't people around to watch it.
The c64 scene is dead and has been for a while now. Releasing a demo is utterly pointless, in North America anyways. Recracking old games and releasing NTSC fixes of PAL games from a decade ago is just sad.

the only sad thing are ex-sceners telling actual sceners that the scene is dead.

The c64 scene has definitely evolved to the point where demos are nothing like they used to be. The capabilites of the c64 today, are astounding compared to when I left the scene. The demo scene is alive and well but you're seeing very little being released in way of games.
And even though the demos are amazing (Second Reality was a masterpiece, identical to the PC version) there are simply not enough people left on the c64 to justify the effort. This is my opinion of course.
I find it sad when I visit websites stating that some group has re-released a 100% version of a game that was out 10 years ago.
If you want to release something so a handful of people can view it on an actual 64, by all means do so. But the 64 scene has been dead and buried for years now.
My opinion only.

When "old-and-retired-since-ages"-sceners find a site devoted to c-64 releases, or find out about the still existing (although small) scene of today, they seem to have an urge to go on & on about how dead the scene is or how useless it is for people to continue to make demos or jewel-crack old games.
But at the same time they praise the fact that the c-64 is still alive & remembered...I don't get it.
Either join the few of us or go away!
Don't come here spreading bad vibes...make up your mind instead. |
