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?

i'm trying to retire from 64 scene for 18 years by now... so, multiplied by all sceners still around... that will result in smth like the beginning of time part 2 when this scene will die... like when our 64-hearts turn to stone... this will definately not happen in the next 30 years i guess... just think about veterans: the war is over but they still meet'n greet once in a while... we share the same behaviour :D

Quote: (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.



I don't see what's so bad with those "wired fonts"? In 1986 people used the fonts from GeoWrite for their demos, that is the 1986 equivalent of font wiring.

Here is a good example of a demo using GeoWrite fonts:

not to forget that crossdeving, emulating and wiring kept this scene alive for some more years ;)

Some people buy antique cars, some collect antique furniture and art. WE keep the C64 in our hearts, and this will never stop!

You guys talk too much. The sceene will die while you're foruming. Disconnect and do some read shit instead.

just a suggestion... spread the word "C-64" and it's marvellous productions to all your friends who have a challenging mind in computing, and the rope may remain strong.

It died a couple of minutes back in the 90s, but since getting back it has done all fine. Now everything is stable and sound. All values are normal.
