What can we expect in June? There is another C64 party before us (C64 Jam in Switzerland). Next 2 weeks you will spend working on your singles-collection coop demoparts. I also promised to participate, so let’s see if I can keep the promises. Meanwhile between my usual plotting and scheeming of evil nasty and cruel plans of taking over the world (wide web ;-). I will try to add some new decent goodies, so stay tuned and enjoy yourself boys and girls ;-).

REACTION: That New Music Editor ’Iseq V1.0’
I personally don’t like Iseq. It has a terrible user Interface, and looks very untidy. I also find the composer ever so difficult to handle, just like Shape’s SID Duzz It. :(
REACTION #2: CNCD Dobbelblock Noter
I think this is a very nice short tool, which I am sure many people would find useful, it is even shorter without music when saved and crunched. I like it :)
REACTION#3: Vandalism News #38
Some very interesting articles, and some nice freebies. However, I cannot seem to get Brain**** assembler to work. Can anyone help?

SDI is complex but if you sit down and learn it, you will then understand it’s power. I’d say it is the best and most powerful tracker on C64. That said, I don’t use any of the trackers :)

SYNC for the most part is supreme to DMC5 except hard to make instant vibrato.

It looks as if the cracking scene seem to be releasing really old games. I noticed that Triad firstreleased two french games, which were written in 1986, 1987. Quite nice releases. I wonder if there are any more really old games, which had not been released?

Interesting news about Jailbird leaving all his other groups including Padua - I already noticed that he had changed something on the CSDb.
Now what puzzles me the most about the whole thing is, that yes, Jailbird had mentioned before his move that he was not sure how much time he would be having to do stuff for us in the future, but if indeed he has left Padua, I would have appreciated hearing it from him first instead of finding it out on public sites.

Hollowman: I thought about that - however that’s apparently the forum he chose, and yes, I am PO’ed. Afterall it’s not really that difficult to get a hold of me, is it ;-)
Groepaz: Hmmm, interesting approach. For now I kept him on the inactive list, as he had asked me to do.

Sorry, cannot agree about Past Winter’s snow. I did not like any part of the demo. The pictures/photos were nice, there was a story to the demo, but it wasn’t my cup of tea. Give me ’Soiled Legacy’ any time :)
[16] :
18. Jun 2002 10:55
Yes good text and music, but eventhough the graphics were a bit easy, they were functional and gave a good atmosphere to the demo in my opinion.
I only would have rotated the raytraced ball part clockwise since there was a phrase about time in that part (wah ;)

C= show was a great succes !!!
I wish to thank everybody who made the C= meeting at the Trepunt on June 15 such a succes!!! I give you two visitor reactions:
I had a fantastic time at the Commodore Meeting (really like a show) in Maarssen, Netherlands yesterday on June 15. Flying proudly over the Trefpunt building was the Commodore flag (!), and inside were plenty of C= and Amiga set-ups, their owners showing what they could do. Ron van Schaik warmly greeted me and kept me fed. :-) I met Ruud Baltissen, Gideon Zweijtzer, Dirk Klettke, Arndt Overmann, Hans Kessels, "Count Zero", Jens Schoenfeld, and others. We talked about plenty of C= things, including the CommodoreOne. I was saddened that it all had to end at 4 p.m., but I have about 26 minutes of video and lots of photos.
A full report later, Robert Bernardo, Fresno Commodore User Group, California, USA videocam.net.au/fcug
Excellent meet, never seen so many C64... and this ones guys A1200 was superb... he was showing off some demo which had a 060 as recomended CPU... Given me a lot of ideas about what to do with my 4000... or should I go the A1200 route he was showing ahh well decisions decisions... Well done to the organizers... will definitley go back

I would not say that this is a sort of reaction :) It’s more like Beta news

Beta news, is that news that is tested on a realistic audience, to see if they’re good enough to be released as actual news?

"i say it is definitely a reaction on the c= meeting and does absolutely fit under the headline ?reactions?. "(Hollowman) - the same I’ve discussed with Ron, so no problemo, he was just happy that the meeting was succesful and wanted to tell that to everyone. Anyway, Ron van Schaik deserves big thumbs up for his dedicated work. Word! ;-)

"Excellent meet, never seen so many C64... " muhahahaha. i suspect none of those "senior citizens" ever attended a real scene party? (actually i suspect none of them even knows what the scene is?). The most interisting part for me was that someone (eg mr. bernardo) would actually care to come the long way from usa and visit such an event.
[27] :
21. Jun 2002 17:32
Well, if he’s from the US - that’s right. There has only been one scene party in the US ever - the Krak Houz party in California in 1989. These people know what the scene is but they use their GEOS more than anything. They also happen to be the people that kept CMD afloat for so long - because they buy everything (RAMLink, CMD HD, etc)

I was hesitating with the post about The Phantom when I first spotted it on Driven board so I didn’t post it myself, then Board Rider did, but as it’s still unconfirmed, I’ve decided to put it to Beta News, thanx for understanding.
Today I’ve got an E-mail from Moloch from where he explains that NTSC sceners are currently trying to get more info about The Phantom/FOE. Here it comes:
That news item about the Phantom dying is unconfirmed... we’ve (what remains
of the NTSC scene) tried for two weeks now to get a confirmation from a
close friend of TP (Wrong Way) but he isn’t responding to email.
The posting on the Driven wall from his "girlfriend" CinnaJess did
originated in Chicago, where The Phantom lives. Other than that, we can’t
be sure he has passed or not. (Moloch)
