New Cascade Website finished
Author: Zeldin - written on 05.10.2008
Puhh... being back from Greece in the beginning of October, I finally felt driven on enough to finish this new Cascade website, which was slowly getting rotten as alpha in my projects folder (it's beta now ;-). Meeting all those old friends in Hellas after such a long time, besides seeing the famous Antikythera mechanism from eye to eye, gave me a lot of new energy, which I wanted to invest before it fades again...
To this website:
Well after I stopped uploading old stuff to csdb last year (read below why), I started concentrating (besides other things, of course) on a new Cascade website as the old site was apr. 7 years old and really antiquated. I wanted a dynamic content system, the possibility of an easier site administration and a little blog-like system, just to spit out my thoughts from time to time, whenever I feel to do so. Furthermore I wanted to integrate my personal demo and game databases into an easier webdesign, therefore the new layout was made with .css (well most of it at least). So I recoded the whole site from scratch. All in all it took quite long to finish the code, because real life leached most of my energy. But now it's finished and I hope you all like this...
Some words to csdb:
As I said I stopped uploading stuff to csdb, although I still sit on tons of missing old cracks. The reasons for this is that my motivation for supporting csdb sadly was killed, after some ppl started to spam the database for unknown reasons. Maybe those guys suffer of heavy image neurosis, being keen on upload credits in the csdb stats, I don't know... but now there are many, many "scene releases" in csdb that are either not scene related or no releases by definition or worse, even both! Some entries are totally senseless, others were only done to have some bytes for upload to csdb. It's so weird!
And not to mention all the double-entries because some ppl are not willing to check properly. So the amount of 67.000 "scene releases" in csdb is definitely artificially elevated, spoiling this cool web resource :-(
Hopefully someday things get better, or I simply regain motivation to support csdb more than just keeping track on the Cascade entry... we'll see...

10.10.2026 - C64 game 'Runner A.P.E.R' released
'Runner A.P.E.R' is an arcade game for C64. It's 6:47 a.m. in Kiato. Your uncle Babis, the finest souvlaki man in Piraeus, has just called you in a total panic. You run along the tracks with the jar in your pocket. You jump the buffer stops. You climb onto the roofs of trains that, strangely, run perfectly on time for everyone except you. You grab coins for the ticket you never had time to buy. The ticket inspector has been chasing you since Loutraki. So has the goat. If you don't make it, Babis will season the skewers with supermarket oregano. In Piraeus, that is never forgiven. You can get the game as digital download for little money (name your own price) to support the developer.

10.10.2026 - 'Paradroid' for Plus/4 released - free for download
This faithful Plus/4 conversion of the C64 classic, originally created by Andrew Braybrook, which combines C and Assembly coding knowledge with the AI assistance, has been pushed to the max, in order to convert a cornerstone of the C64 library. Eight ships, each with 20 decks, to be cleaned out from the gone-mad droids, a fast logic game to relay between their circuits, a variegated ranking system to climb up, a fast paced action overall... all the features seem to be perfectly ported on the Plus/4. The real visible compromise (but ultimately, not excessively disruptive) is the format clash of the sprites – which must be multicolor – on the original hires background. Paradroid on Plus/4 surprisingly retains all the dynamism of the original on the C64, moving so many things on the screen with extreme fluidity.
