...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!

31.10.2025 - C64 game 'P.T.' released
'P.T.' (aka Playable Teaser) is one of the most discussed games ever made. It was a 2014 interactive teaser for the video game Silent Hills, a cancelled instalment in the Silent Hill series. You have woken up in room that leads to a strange corridor, which continuously loops and changes itself. Can you piece together the dark past of this place? The C64 version of P.T. was heavily inspired by the Gameboy Colour version and was made by Haplo (maker of 'Shift', 'Tenebra', ''Ooze: The Escape' and 'Caim'). You can get the game as digital download for little money (name your own price) to support the developer.
