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?

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 |

Quote: 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 :)
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

from that article:
"Often overshadowed by the Apple II and Atari 800, the Commodore 64 rose to great heights in the 1980s. From 1982-1993, 17 million C64s were sold. "
"a relatively parent-friendly price -- $595."
"graphics weak in comparison to the Apple II and Atari 800"

Fatfrost: i have spare c64 if wec wants one
Thanks for the offer. One day I will win from ebay
Oswald: you have a lot of trackmos in that list.
Groepaz: indeed. "megademo" is a term that doesnt really apply to any of the demos you mention =)
For me the demos in the list (which isnt a defintive list btw) are mega. Trackmo or not, I dont see how that has any affect on mega status.
Vanja: mr. Wile Coyote
mr? - better than misses I suppose.
TDJ: A mega-demo imho is mostly a (large) collection of parts, spacebar-pressing-enabled. It also needs a certain 'feeling'
I agree with large collection of parts, I do not see why spacebar pressing-enabled has any affect on weather a demo can be labelled a mega demo or not. As for certain feeling, I can agree with that also. Having a production that contains feeling, especially feeling from having many people worked on a single production, really makes a mega demo.
Large is one thing, Mega is another. I guess Large and boring, disqualifies a demo from being Mega :D

@WEC: the term megademo has had a certain meaning for quite a long time now, why the urge to redefine it? Why not just use it the same way all other people do? |
