Various Scene News
Posted by Csabo on 2007-06-30
I uploaded my set of SceneCon 2007 photos for your enjoyment to the Features section. Two new utilities have been added to the Tools section that some may hopefully find useful: CSW Viewer and Csabo's TAP Cleaner. Finally, an interesting tidbit: Mac came forward and claimed authorship over an old joke demo called Spermetro. Who knows, perhaps some day we will find out the real identity of Korak :-)


C16doc.de updated
Posted by Gaia on 2007-06-29
Almost as a follow-up response to the sad news of the removal of the C16.de forums, and after a long hiatus Mr. Museum has updated the official Club-Info website. The site has been given all the missing Club-Info releases and also several hundred (!) other mags. Check it out if you speak German or plan to learn it, there can't be any better motivation.

Thanks to Forum64.de for the news.

The Forum of C16.de was switched off!
Posted by Sidius on 2007-06-26
One of the first german internet pages, which dealt exclusively with the C16/+4, was finally taken from the net on 2007-06-21: The Forum of www.c16.de !

Tranlated quotation:
"For want of words we have also stop the forum now. There are still enough other forums with Commodore-material, where you can make a find absolutely.....etc."

Of course this is a great pity ones, but in the end the forum was not very well visited...but the main side C16.de is still active !


Plus/4 blitzkrieg at SceneCON party!
Posted by Luca on 2007-06-18
Adventures in MonoNotizen aus der ProvinzWe turned the 8bit demo competition at SceneCON 2007 party into a Plus/4 power show! Absence, TEK and FIRE demos have been the compo entries, three pieces of true art, hard coding and polished design. Read the final ranking on Pouët!
Luca performed his best code ever, moving masked softsprites here and there and around ichthyic themed graphic art in his own onefiler called Thalassa.
Csio and Chronos played hard with vidcordered stuff in their Adventures in Mono, filling up the screen with full motion effects. ThalassaUnfortunately at the moment, the demo runs on YAPE only and can't be spreaded yet, as a virtually working one, in order to prevent misunderstanding and lack of consistency. Don't worry, the working version will see the light in few days, and first choice sceners like Crown, Pigmy and Gaia are just helping our dynamic duo to achieve that!
And the winner is: Degauss! Yes, Ingo won again, and he really deserves it! Notizen aus der Provinz shocked the audience, showing high-pro effects which can be exclusively performed on our beloved Plus/4 only: a new revolutionary graphics format, a stunning floormapper, giant lightsourced vectorcubes, a very smooth fence effect, a colorful double tunnel. Plus/4 at its best!

Do you wanna see some famous faces at the party? Chronos, as official scene's photographer, takes to you a bunch of funny pictures of the long night in Budapest, here!

Update: the party version of Adventures in Mono is now here to be downloaded, watched, enjoyed!
Update: more photos here, here and here.
Update: the final version of Adventures in Mono has been released some dozens hours after the party! Delete the party version, now you have the real one and only, with a bonus picture!

Cuthbert Enters The Tombs Of Doom In Full Glory!
Posted by Csabo on 2007-06-02
Cuthbert Enters the Tombs of DoomRegular visitors have no doubt read this forum thread regarding the additional game materials for the old Microdeal Commodore 16 game from the Cuthbert series. You can now view this release in it's fully glory: we have the full size cover scans, a lot of additional game materials (postcard, club card, "key"), and the 16 page instructional booklet. This latter one really does a good job of "selling" the game. Check it out, it's retrogaming goodness! Big thanks to Sidius for sending this in!
