On Sunday, 8th November, the father of the Great Giana Sisters died of a heart attack. Beginning his carreer as a game designer for Rainbow Arts and Blue Byte as early as 1984, he went on to found Spellbound Entertainment AG in 1994 together with Jean-Marc Haessig (Airline Tycoon, Desperados, Arcania: A Gothic Tale).

The weekend of October 23rd-25th, SceneSat Radio will broadcast a lot of live shows from the Alternative Party  in Helsinki, Finland. One cool and odd feature is that the broadcasts also will be available on FM103.1MHz over the Helsinki area, so if you are anywhere nearby, feel free to tune in, otherwise you can always listen to the stream via http://scenesat.com.

Amongst the treats you will get this weekend, there'll be interviews with a lot of demoscene people as well as Jeri Ellsworth - who gave us the C64 in a joystick - the DTV. Don't miss it!

C64 fans,

One year ago, C64.COM and SceneSat Radio arranged Back in Time Live Stockholm 2008. The whole event was recorded but there was no money to support the production of a DVD. The first two professionally produced bits from the event have finally reached YouTube instead! Check out retro band 6581 (Reyn Ouwehand, Eike Romeo Knight Steffen, Anders Larsson, and C64.COM's own Andreas Wallström) play the Central Park Theme from The Last Ninja 2 and Mutants together with Fred Gray, the original composer of the track.

Enjoy!

Thursday September 3rd at 15:30 CEST, the servers hosting remix.kwed.org and amigaremix.com + a BUNCH of other scene related sites will be taken offline to be moved from Stockholm to Gothenburg. They will be back up again around 10:00 CEST on Friday morning, at the latest.

Sorry for the inconvience this might bring, but it will be for the better in the long run.

8bitventures.com have released a successor cartridge to the now discontinued Prophet64 cartridge.

From their homepage:

The MSSIAH is a MIDI cartridge for the Commodore 64. It contains a suite of music applications that starts instantly as you insert the cartridge and start up the computer. With these applications you can play the C64's audio circuit (SID) via MIDI or stand-alone with the internal sequencers.

MSSIAH is short for MIDI SID Software Integrated Applications and Hardware and means that the cartridge contains both software and hardware to midify the C64. Since they are integrated you won't need hard-to-get MIDI peripherals to hook it up to your synthesizer or sequencer. Just plug in a MIDI cable and off you go!

With no doubt, the MSSIAH is the cheapest way for you to bring MIDI to your Commodore 64! However, cheap does not mean less.. MSSIAH is loaded with features that will make the old C64 an irreplaceable tool in your modern recording studio!

The current price for the cartridge is 49,95 EUR.
