Handlestory :
I was a big fan of the Dragonlance books at the time and chose my handle early into those. The character later became dark, and ill, from what I can remember, but that just gave the name even more of an edge.

Trivia :
Pre-scene, Raistlin was well known to be the number one UK POKEster (with more published POKEs than any other) for the English mags ZZAP!, Commodore User, CCI, What Poke and various other gaming mags - thanks to a constant day-one (or earlier) supply of video games. All POKEs were either printed under his real name or his alter-ego, Kipperman.

An old-schooler, Raistlin joined the demo scene in 1988 with his brother, Kreator (Kreator), creating the SCC (Silsden Cracking Crew) group... the talent-finding Pyrotech picked him up - which later became Excess.

He jumped between a few groups with short stints in Rough Trade, NATO and Oneway... and then eventually joined Genesis Project.

Following the release of Delirious 10, his last demo, Raistlin quit the scene...

27 years later, in 2018, he rejoined G*P and released his first new demo at Gubbdata 2018: Delirious 11, and ended up as #4 at X the same year with X Marks the Spot.

Raistlin has been in the games industry since 1994 and has worked on many games - Destruction Derby, the Test Drive series, Big Air, LA Rush, Wheelman, Infinity Blade, the Gears of War series, Fortnite, Lawbreakers, Conan Exiles, Sea of Thieves and more... as well as working on Unreal Engine.

Moved to Thailand in 2021.

Started a C64 coding blog, www.c64demo.com, in 2023.

Formed the C64GFX group in late 2023 in order to build an online graphics database/website to collect and present C64 graphics in a nice and easy to traverse way.

Despite being an advocate of fairness in the C64 scene and outside, was named “Known Scene Troll” by Jazzcat in issue 74 of their disk-wasting snorefest, Vandalism “News” - due to calling out the self-aggrandizing practices of chart manipulation (something best kept in the 80s/90s) and the questionable Zzap!64 preview-game supply chain shenanigans.

Started posting demo source codes publically to GitHub also in 2023: https://github.com/RobertTroughton/C64Demo-PublicReleases

CSDb (Commodore 64 Scene Database) is a website which goal is to gather as much information and material about the scene around the commodore 64 computer - the worlds most popular home computer throughout time. Here you can find almost anything which was ever made for the commodore 64, and more is being added every day. As this website is scene related, you can mostly find demos, music and graphics made by the people who made the scene (the sceners), but you can also find a lot of the old classic games here. Try out the search box in the top right corner, or check out the CSDb main page for the latest additions.
