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?

So basically something along the lines of Singles Collection Volume 2 ;) An incoherent collection of random demo "pages" (hello to our NTSC friends <3) filling up a diskside or two...? :)
Yes...I can see why you'd want to see the "return" of that sort of stuff. |

When I got into the scene back in 1989-90, it seemed pretty much on its last breath, since most people seemed to be moving to Amiga. And I also remember reading an interview with someone in a disk mag in the early 90's predicting that the C64 scene would last until 2000, which I just lolled about. So I just pretty much consider whatever there's left as a bonus.

A friend of mine bought his C64 in 1985/1986 and was told by the guy at the store that he should buy an Amstrad CPC instead, because the C64 would be dead soon :) |

Quote: what TDJ said :) a "megademo" typically equals an inconsistant collection of "parts" which are barely more than intros :=)
Well back in 1986 nearly every demo consisted of just 1 part. But people started to produce more and more of these demos and at some point started to bundle them together and called that collection of demos a megademo. |

So do you think mr. Wile Coyote is correct? Will we indeed see C64 sceners return to this lost concept from the distant past...of having demos with MORE than one part?!??! o.O |

Or let's say ... "Please, buy the Amstrad CPC because they're rotting in my store" ;-) |

"For millions of kids who grew up in the 1980s, that first computer was the Commodore 64. Twenty-five years later, that first brush with computer addiction is as strong as ever."
There is your answer
