16.02.2021 - Video: 'Scorpion Engine' for Amiga - 2021.3 update
There is an update for the Game Construction Erik 'earok' Hogan's 'Scorpion Engine', which is supposed to enable the development of games that run on an A500 with a screen refresh of 50 Hz. The editor itself runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, the Tiled editor is used to create levels. Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used for sounds, music and animations.

15.02.2021 - C64 Green Felt Classics - three classic games as basic listing for download
Three classics Solitaire, Yahtzee and Blackjack reissued as new BASIC V2 type-in listings for the extra nostalgic experience. All three games have in common to make use of the rarely seen ECM (=Extended Color Mode). In this mode each character can have one of 4 different background colors. This is great in e.g. card games to allow the symbols on the cards having a white background while the overall background can remain green. The downside of this mode is, that only a total of 64 characters can be displayed at a time, which is the main reason why we don't see this mode more often. But using ECM wisely, brings a complete new and fresh look into C64 games.

14.02.2021 - How Machine Language Works - new video from 'The 8-Bit Guy'
For the most of the 8-bit system, 99% of the commercial software and games was/is written in machine language. So it is not an exception, in fact it is the norm. In this episode the 8-bit guy wants to shed some light on what machine language actually is.

...from time to time, some thoughts need to get out...Farewell Patrick!
Author: Zeldin - written on 31.12.2014
Axis/Cascade is no more. We are all still shaken by the unexpected death of our friend and group mate Patrick aka Axis/Cascade. We wanted to express our sorrow, so I coded a little intro, which you can find in the C64 demo section of this page. The following text is a rough excerpt taken from the scroller:
Dear Patrick, may this be the condolence from the the group that was co-founded by you long time ago. We want to give you our last salute. I (Zeldin) know how much you were breathing the spirit of the scene. That's why I thought a goodbye demo would have made you happy. You and me exchanged lots of mails about how much we both enjoyed the good ol' days and of course: how much we miss them... It was this tie that emotionally connected us for over 15 years. Thanks for all your help in supporting the group and your indefatigable endeavour in spreading our name. Your tattoos were legendary! Thanks for your work on fb and youtube. Your channels were appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks for being such a good chap. You'll be sorely missed!!!
Mach's gut, Patrick... den Adler im Herzen, sge4ever!
