I ditched the C64 about 1985 and went to the Atari ST, then ditched that in 1988 for IBM PC AT 8mhz (overclocked to TEN!) It's weird to see C64 stuff with 1989 dates!

Long live the SID chip!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Seems like the C64 cracking community was on fire in around 86-87>> ^deathcow:

Great stuff! You'll find at least 2 of the C64 demo groups featured in this vid still posting entries to http://www.scene.org (THE place to go for anything demo scene related)

I'm gonna guess that the ones listing their phone # are not around anymore....

I know Fairlight lasted a while, and we didn't see a demo from them but greets were put out to Razor, although I'm not sure the current Razor is any more Razor than the current Atari is Atari..

Just FYI: The C64 is still alive. A brand new game is about to launch. It has been in development for the past 20 years. It is supposed to be one of the biggest and best C-RPGs ever.

So there will be a AAA C64 title launched in 2011

I loved these guys, made copy protected discs alot more enjoyable.

Really though, last I checked out my C64 system a few years back alot of the original discs no longer work due to faded protection (weak sectors, etc) that has died out with old age... yet the cracked discs all still work just fine. I guess this is great way of preserving the oldies
