14.07.2021 - WIP Amiga game 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night' - Low Spec experiment 1
In this video we see the developer trying one of the different builds of CMOhn he made to cater for different setups. The priority of this one is get it to run at a stable FPS (in this case 25) on Amigas with 2MB chip and no fast RAM. It's in the early stages and has a lot of graphical issues, but will eventually look nice. Besides, a fun new feature demonstrated in the video.

13.07.2021 - High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) #75 released
HVSC #1 was released today 25 years ago, on 12 July 1996. This is the 75th update and we made it happen on the same day. We have witnessed this collection grow exponentially in the years, from only 4,000 sids in the first release, now counts more than 54,000: practically 2,000 new sids were added each year! Many people joined the C64 scene providing new tunes - sometimes wonderful, sometimes strange, all special and creative on their own - and, sadly, we also lost some people, who left us their inheritance before parting. This release is dedicated to the memory of whose are not anymore with us, you'll be remembered.
