...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!

04.05.2024 - This Game Cheats? Hal Labs' LeMans for Commodore 64 (Part 3) - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Finally we dig into the disassembled code of LeMans, with a focus on the time-keeping and scoring routines that are directly tied to this game's very flexible definition of a second. Can we conclusively show that this game cheats? Along the way we find a really neat trick for detecting multiples of 20,000 points, and other conventional and unconventional approaches to C64 game development. LeMans is one of the launch titles of the Commodore 64 and Commodore Max, released back in 1982, and it was developed by Hal Laboratory, possibly by Satoru Iwata himself.
