04.02.2023 - C64 game 'Hyper Harves' released and free for donwload
And another tile matching game by Arlasoft. 'Hyper Harves' is a C64 port of a puzzle game by orion_black that finished 12th in the recent Ludum Dare 52 game jam. You can match two identical tiles that are in line (diagonal or orthogonal), no matter how far apart they are, as long as no other tile is in between. Once a line has been cleared of fruits, it’ll disappear. Don’t let them get to the top.

01.02.2023 - The Evolution64 - Is it worth the money? - Video from 'The 8-Bit Guy'
'The 8-Bit Guy' is taking a look at the Evolution64 - or short EVO64 - which is a new C64 replica mainboard. EVO64 was developed by Dr. Stefano (aka Auro) out of an interest to combine many of the best features that have become available for the Commodore 64, into a sleek and fully integrated system, built using modern manufacturing processes, but still remaining completely true to the original system’s heritage and architecture.

01.02.2023 - Test and Try: Corroded Amiga 500 Rev 5 (w/512k ROM upgrade and S-Video out) - video from 'Adrian's Digital Basement'
Welcome to another video in the test and try series. This time we have an Amiga 500 and Digifex Corp VIP box. The computer actually looks a bit worse inside than Adrian was led to believe, so he cleaned it up. Also it's a Rev 5 board so it needs a modification to accept larger 512k ROMs.

...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!
