...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!

An Amiga 3000 gives Adrian a "yellow screen of death" when loading Kickstart 2.04, but not Kickstart 1.3 or Kickstart 1.4. Why? Let's figure that out.

22.05.2026 - Plus/4 emulator YAPE 1.3.0 released
YAPE is a decent no-nonsense Plus/4 emulator thats being developed for 10+ years. It is available in Windows as well as multiplatform editions. Version 1.3.0 is a milestone release, as from now on it is possible to do source level debugging in YAPE. You can either set the source file name (.LST) from the command line or just simply load it via the monitor menu directly. The external monitor itself has also been fully revamped with an unlimited scrollback buffer, better command history etc. On top of all this, many emulation improvements have been made, mostly focusing on a few of TED's remaining peculiarities this time.

21.05.2026 - Video: Saboteur! AGA Beta
This video shows a proof of concept for a potential Amiga AGA conversion of Saboteur, the stealth action-adventure game created by Clive Townsend, which was published by Durell Software in 1985 for several 8-bit home computer formats. This version here is based on the PC version though. Modifications and new graphics by S0Y. The Audio-CD track currently implemented will only play on the CD32 version. Sound effects are drowned out by the excessive volume of this audio track.
