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!

06.07.2026 - C64 game 'Rust'n'Steel Reboot' released
Rust'n'Steel' is a platformer for C64, originally coded it in 2009. Some bug fixes were made in 2015 and an annoying bug was removed in 2025. Most recently also the movement was smoothed, levels were added and an evil slimy end boss, hence the reboot. Now the game features better, faster gameplay, 9 new levels (31 at all), end boss, highscore table saved to disk and continues (game progress is saved to disk). You can get the game as digital download for a fair price to support the developer.

06.07.2026 - Lost for 45 years: Catacombs and Goblin Towers for the Commodore PET recovered
Two of the earliest British text adventures ever sold - Catacombs and Goblin Towers, both written by Brian Cotton and published by Supersoft in 1981 - have been recovered in their original Commodore PET form. Until now, only later Commodore 64 releases were known to survive: the 1983 and 1987 versions of Goblin Towers, and the 1986 "Classic Quests" reissue of Catacombs. The PET originals were considered lost. That changed when Colin Haynes came forward with his original copies of both games and offered them for preservation...
