The C64 demo Hello '64 appears to be this group's first demo on that machine, and contains their story:
HELLO, HELLO ! HERE ARE A LEGEND FROM THE C-16 !!! THE NAME IS : ' SPITFIRE 2000 '... THANX TO SCOOP, HE CREATED THIS GREAT MUZIX.. AND TO GMC FOR THE GRAPHIX (IN THE TOP OF THE SCREEN),TO QUARK FOR NEW GAMES AND ALL OUR FRIENDS FOR SOME GOOD TIMES.... THIS DEMO WAS RELEASED ON FRIDAY THE 22. OF JANUARY... NOW TO SOME IMPORTENT THINGS : THIS IS OUR FIRST DEMO ON THE C64, HOPE YOU LIKE IT! WELL, LET'S START WITH THE BEGINNING... CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, TWO BOYS MET IN 'BILKA' (A BIG DEPARTMENT STORE).. BOTH OF THEM WERE PROGRAMMING BASIC ON THE COMPUTERS. ESPECIALY ON THE CBM16, 'CAUSE THAT COMPUTER HAD THE BEST BASIC AT THAT TIME. THEY TALKED ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL COMPUTER. BOTH OF THEM WOULD HAVE A CBM16 WITHIN A FEW WEEKS... CHAPTER TWO : THE SUMMERHOLIDAY HAS ENDED AND NOW THEY HAD THE COMPUTER OF THEIR DREAMS! NOT MORE THAN A WEEK LATER, THEY STARTED TO COPY GAMES. ON A DOUBLE TAPERECORDER! IT WORKED FOR A TIME, BUT THEN SUDDENLY THEY WANTED THEIR NAME IN THE GAMES (SOME PEOPLE NEVER GET SATISFIED!)... IT TOOK ABOUT HALF A YEAR TO LEARN, THEN ONE DAY IT WORKED! THE FIRST GAME WAS ' TYCOON TEX ' FROM GREMLIN GRAPHICS. AFTER THAT FOLLOWED ABOUT 200 OTHERS... IT WAS, AND IS STILL THE RECORD OF CRACKED GAMES IN DENMARK !!! (ON THE C16, OF COURSE!)... THE LEGEND WAS STARTED... CHAPTER THREE : BUT THEY WASN'T SATISFIED YET. SO THEY BEGAN LEARNING MC (MACHINE CODE) BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO MAKE INTROS AND TRAINERS TO THE GAMES.. A HALF YEAR LATER THE FIRST INTRO WAS FINISHED. THEY SPREAD THEIR GAMES AND DEMOS.. THEN ONE DAY A THIRD BOY CALLED THEM (THEY HAD AN ANNOUNCE IN THE BLUE PAPER) SO HE BECAME A MEMBER OF THE GROUP..... THE BOYS WAS STILL LEARNING MORE AND MORE MC... THEN ANOTHER DAY ONE OF THE BOYS MET A GRAPHIC MASTER, HE HAD A C-64.... SO THE FIRST BOY INTRODUCED THE SECOND BOY TO THE THIRD...(RATHER CONFUSING EHH? BUT WE DON'T WANT TO MENTION ANY NAMES (YET)). THE GRAPHIC MASTER MADE SOME GRAPHIC'S ON THE 64 AND THEY CONVERTED IT TO THE 16..... THIS WENT ON FOR A YEAR.. CHAPTER FOUR : THE TIME PASSED, THE TREE BOY WAS TALKING ABOUT MAKING A GAME, BUT (ALWAYS A BUT EHH?) THERE WAS ONE BIG PROBLEM THEY COULDN'T MAKE A GAME WORKING ON THE 64 AND THE 16 ON THE SAME TIME.... (ANY SOLUTIONS ?) YES, THE TWO BOYS BOUGHT A 64, AND THE THIRD ALREADY HAD ONE... NOW THEY COULD START... NOW, ONE YEAR AFTER THEY HAVE LEARNED TO PROGRAM MC AT THE C-64, AND HERE'S THE RESULT... IF YOU HAVEN'T GUESSED IT YET, THEN WE'LL TELL YOU : THEY ARE US.. CHINABOY THE BOY WHO CALLED US, IS NOT ON THE 64, SO THIS ARE THE 'BILKA-BOY'S' WRITING..(NOT OUR NAME!!!!!!!!!!!) THIS WAS THE STORY OF SPITFIRE 2000 A REAL LEGEND. THE GREETING'S ARE SEND TO THE PEOPLE WE GOT GAMES FROM, AND OUR FRIENDS... MAY WE HAVE SUCH FUN IN THE FUTURE, AS WE HAD IN THE PAST....... SIGNED SPITFIRE 2000..... THE LEGEND CONTINUES........................................
