20.01.2023 - C64 game 'Castle Shadowgate' released and free for download
Shadowgate is a point and click adventure game developed by ICOM Simulations for the Apple Macintosh. It was ported to many platforms, but an official version was never released for the Commodore 64 (however, there is some evidence that it was worked on in a Mat Barton interview on YouTube. And two of ICOM's other "MacVenture" games were released for the C64). Anyway, here we now have a port of the game, heavily based on the popular Nintendo Entertainment System version. The game supports mouse and there are versions for PAL and NTSC.

20.01.2023 - The Tiny Type-In Hiding In A 40-Year-Old Blank Computer Cassette - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Is there a tiny type-in program listing hiding inside a Thorn EMI EMITAPE Computer Cassette? Robin tracked a brand new, unopened C20 tape down, thanks to a tip from viewer EdwardianTeaChest, and opened the early 1982-vintage cassette. There are in fact two listings, one for the Commodore VIC-20, and another for the Sinclair ZX81. Join Robin as we type these programs in on vintage hardware, and figure out what they do.

...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!
