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...

04.09.2026 - Amiga game 'Babylonian Twins' - full game released
'Babylonian Twins' is a puzzle-platform odyssey through ancient Mesopotamia. The game was originally written in 1993 by Rabah Shihab on an Amiga 500 with half a megabyte of RAM and no hard drive, in pure machine code. It would have become the first commercial-quality video game ever made in Iraq, but it got never officially released, at least not in the western world. After a playable demo version was previously leaked and released in 2008, now the full original game - the real disks - is finally available for download.

02.09.2026 - Protovision Shop: SD2IEC cableless now in black!
Protovision's SD2IEC cableless is back in black! This version connects directly to the serial and cassette ports - no extra power cable or serial cable needed. The pass-through serial port lets you daisy-chain additional drives, and the Atmega 1284 keeps the unit future-proof with software updates. Just a heads-up: compared to the 1541 Ultimate, the SD2IEC is slightly less compatible with multiload programs since it doesn’t include full drive emulation.
