Old Skool Demoscene

[Bumcake]

Hey guys, had a bit of spare time today and was in the mood to fiddle with some old hardware, so I spent an hour converting some Demo file images back to 5.25 floppy disks for my commodore 64, 18 minutes for each side of the disks as the conversion was done on the C64 itself with an SD2IEC hooked up to a 1541 disk drive.
My plan is to compile a dvd of my favorite vintage Demos captured from real hardware and heres my first one

Quite amazing what a little 1mhz processor can do!
Enjoy and play loud.

It is great fun when you start doing this. The Demoscene was where I spent my youth. Pre internet this was the computing underground.

Chiptunes!....when does a chiptune stop being a chiptune?, as soon as samples are included?
I'm not sure, It's really impressive that these little 8 bits machines can replay sampled sound but personally I still prefer the sounds of the early micros with there limited chippery and synthetic sound, I'm immediatly mentally dragged back to the old arcades of past, the electronic sounds and glowing screens when you walked through the door with a pocket full of coins...
There is some belting Amiga/Atari/PC tracked music and Demos, but I'm stuck in the past.
How I miss the golden age.

Now there is a man after my own heart. To me this was the golden age of home computing, pre internet and ruled by phreakers, crackers and spreaders.

Awesome stuff

Blew the dust off the A1200 on shelf above me and loaded up a demo I haven't watched in a very long time.
First true AGA chipset Demo?.
