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.

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!

Plus, why would you want to close this? Seriously, there's always a chance somebody comes along with an interesting view on this interesting topic. Lots have already been made, always room for more ;)

:) maybe there should be a Huge link on the front page of csdb... something like "Click here if you left the scene more than 10 years ago". Then let Vanja right an introductory article for that link. Would it save us from this repeating pattern?

Just like old times :)

WTF is a demo good for? LOL

Vanja 20 years ago I would be recruiting you for a good rag, very nice.

Before my next rant, let me say this, you are wrong Shadow, if it wasn't for piracy, the C64 would have died. This is the difference between what happened before 1988 and after. We were pirates, we did illegal things with phones, we harrassed people relentlessly, we ran BBS's and we passed along software, illegaly. Just like the little Vic20, timex and those pieces of crap machines that came out of europe, the C64 would never had made it past 1986. Actually, piracy is good for software, people play and go buy, even today.

I am not here to separate or ridicule what has been done with the C64 but give a little history to what happened before 1988 or 1989. You all made the C64 survive way past what it should have but we made it last as a long as it did.
You made it last but the software companys ran off and left you.
So, if you wish to make fun, it's okay, but do not distort the true past, the people you hail are phonys to what actually happened and how it came about. If this does not matter to you, then stop reading and go play with your demo.

I had many stories that are amusing to some and recollections to others. I was not the scene, I was a criminal, pirate and anarchist in the scene.

I came here looking for some of my old friends and I see all this stuff written in your database that could be updated but I see you want to fight and be judgemental about what I say. So, to end all this good chatter, I leave you to your on imagination of what really happened before you came a long and let you worship your demos. I can see why none of the other oldtimers wish to have any part of this. To those here that were from the real scene, I wish you a longer life and long live rock and roll.

the scene does continously exist since the early 80s, who are you to slice up history to real and unreal scene ? how do you expect a friendly attitude, when you are attacking on us like that?

Speaking for myself I'd love to read about your experience with how you saw the scene, the stories, etc.
