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...

31.01.2026 - The previous owner tried and failed to fix this C64: Can I fix it? - video by 'Adrian's Digital Basement'
Here's a sad C64 motherboard as seen on a recent Turbo Mail Call episode. Someone had previously damaged this motherboard by yanking out three chips. This sent the previous owner on a journey trying to fix this board, which resulted in almost all of the chips being socketed and swapped out. Nothing worked, so can Adrian get it working?

31.01.2026 - Commodore 1984 Movie Poster Calendar + My Top 12 - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
In 1984, Commodore Computers (Canada) released a Movie Poster Calendar, a collection of 12 posters from upcoming films. The calendar was sold throughout Commodore's distribution network nation-wide, and proceeds went to support two charities that benefit children. In addition to looking through the calendar and the 12 movies included, we learn a bit about Commodore Canada's president, Arthur E. Goodall, a VIC-ATHON fundraiser he ran, Robin's 12 favourite movies of 1984, and some kind of relevant 8-bit reference in most all of those movies. Happy New Year!
