Commodore 64: 8 Bit Legend
Author: Zeldin - written on 19.09.2012
Bah... seems I am not able to post something regularly... at least not even once a year :-(
I am currently writing on my second novel, and don't find time for C64 activities, which is really sad. Next year we'll have 25th anniversary of Cascade, and I really want to make some little celebration demo around this happening, but I am afraid, it will be a tough nut to find some free minutes for squeezing a bunch of pixels, code and music into a file.
Well, we'll see...
Anyway... today I finally felt to post something, not only for giving the front page look a deserved change, but to make sure you won't miss the following youtube vid, which is really impressive. A brilliant and contemporary commercial for our good old and beloved breadbox.
So here we go...
