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!

03.12.2025 - The Best VIC-20 Cart Gets Even Better? Penultimate+3dcr - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
We take a look at the latest 2025 refresh of the "penultimate" Commodore VIC-20 cartridge, the Penultimate+3dcr, developed by Tynemouth Software and produced and distributed by The Future Was 8-Bit. In addition to the existing 35K RAM expansion, a new 8-bank 280K mode has been added. More games and utilities have been added to the ROM, for a new total of 271 programs. And a full-size SD card drive has been added, completed with "Turbo Wedge" to make disk access fast and easy. We do a bit of gaming, and spend some time trying to get SuperMon working with the new 280K mode to demonstrate bank switching. We also go through many of the disk wedge commands available, and compare and contrast it against JiffyDOS.

30.11.2025 - Levitating Amiga Boing Ball… For the 40th Anniversary! - video by 'RobSmithDev'
In this video Rob is going to re-design the original floating boing ball to fix something that always annoyed him. It's not the fact that it doesn't bounce, its the fact that it should spin at a slight angle, not perfectly vertical.
