25 Years Cascade
Author: Zeldin - written on 25.07.2013
Happy birthday!!! Cascade was found in April 1988 (read trivia for more info) and so this makes it a fourth of a century old. We planned to celebrate this with a little, sweet demo. It would have contained the graphics you see on the right (more info about it here). But we sadly failed, due to time intensive real life things. We already missed the 20 years celebration demo and together with lots of other failed projects, all the unfinished parts, routines, graphics and stuff are slowly filling more an more disks in our boxes. Anyway... we are still around, and one day we will even manage to pull out a demo again, I am sure. In the meantime you might enjoy the shown no-border graphic, made for the jubilee.
Now a short message to all current or former Cascade members: Wherever you are, to which coast of life you got drifted, I want to send you my warm hearted greetings and all my love. Feel honoured, that you have been (or still are) part of a project, that was started as a simple hobby of some young lads - unprofessional, non-commercial, not lifestyle driven and not guided by any political or industrial elites - and still it exists after 25 years! I feel very proud of that and so should you!

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.

30.10.2025 - WIP Amiga game 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night' - Demo 2.0 released
'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night' is an WIP action platformer in the vein of Turrican & Castlevania, made in Scorpion Engine. Just in time for Halloween, here's another demo, that you can get as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer. It's a shorter demo than the first one but still has a good few levels - much more challenging ones this time though! Can Francis navigate the Swamps? Many obstacles await him, from the ghosts of fallen travelers to angry frog-men, and molluscs, and more assorted frog-related problems...
