Btw Waz, a battling draw for Man City last night. I watched the game on Sky (did you go?). Great goal by Sibierski though Sommeil's error was one of those schoolboy errors you should never do. Should have hoofed it into row Z :) Damn right he should, I was cursing at that point! Unfortunately the o...

Been following a thread that's on the ZZap 64 board at the moment titled 'Are bananas banal?'. Nice effort, Paul! Actually, my memories of bananas are the inflatable kind that Manchester City had in the late 1980s. The attendance actually used to be given out in actual people and bananas! (no kiddi...

I guess the reason I replied in the first place was, that I felt sorry for Sub because I know that he wanted some honest creative feedback on his mix. Well, my sarcasm wasn't aimed at him to be honest (and I apologise if you took it that way), just the fact it was another in a long line of average ...

For me, the old classics are from the time I was active on the C64 (1984-88) It's the same for a fair number of people, depending on when they owned a C64. Of course the games you played and the demos you watched at that time are the ones that influence you in later life, I'm pretty convinced of th...

I have all the SID's on my hard drive, but i have only ever picked the ones i liked before. Question: have you actually listened to anything other than the supposed "classics"? I'm just intrigued to know. If you have, then there should be enough inspiration for you to try something differ...

Ok, how can i best describe this - a mixture of pop meets culture? NAAAAAHHH just some guitars, a few drums, throw in an oriental symbol here and there and you've got my remix of the last ninja. Yawn. <sarcasm>Another Last Ninja remix. Excuse me while I contain my excitement </sarcasm> And yes, I d...

Wideness depends on what size your'e viewing it at. I prefer 1152x764 meself. That may be okay at that size, but ideally when designing a site you should think about a lower resolution for people to view your site at. After all, not everyone might have good vision so those users would turn down the...

I have searched through the web, but did not find any remix of good and old Atari 8-bit songs.. There's some nice stuff on the Atari, I admit. I have the whole of ASMA and even contributed a pile of STIL entries to its maintainer some time back. Maybe Rob Hubbard's Jet Set Willy II (a great origina...

Sorry to be a bit nitpicky here Waz but Stones 'n' Bones was the one in Fantasies Of course it was! Me idiot. Just had to fire it up on the PC and play that classic table. Not lost the old touch just yet on it anyway. Think that one was my fave of Fantasies because of the music. and how that along ...

I'd love to see more remixes of these great tunes. Not the only one, being a big fan of all three games myself. Incidentally, the PC versions of Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies use exactly the same .MOD music file as the migmog version. There' s a MOD file for each table, and it actually conta...

Unfortunately I didn't know of the original. Who is Boleslaw Ogrodowczyk? He goes by the handle of Froyd and can be found in HVSC here: /VARIOUS/A-F/Amorphis/Froyd/ He's a pretty good musician (as are all those in the Amorphis group, actually, check out Booker and Compod!) and well worth a listen t...

Folks, Further to my lengthy rant about the state of the remix scene back in September, I'm wondering if anyone's up to the challenge of taking on one of PRI's many classic C64 demo tunes. If you have HVSC, they're in /VARIOUS/M-R/PRI/ - and there's many good ones in there. A lot of them are in the ...

PS: 2 new papers headding your way in the next week :) the rescue is almost complete lol - YES FOLKS - DONT TRUST FUJITSU HARD DRIVES !!! Could have told you that from experience, I've had to replace so many of the little swines at work. Basically it's because of the glue they used with the compone...

I'm beginning to think that part of the reason this scene is so creative is that it's full of artistic bipolar depressives Funny you should mention that. One of my favourite real music artists, the utterly gorgeous and talented Kristin Hersh (ex- of Throwing Muses, nowadays solo) makes some wonderf...

now it's up at R:K:O, enjoy.... I did, too. The background instrumentation is very nice, with some good punchy drums and background lead that just adds something wholesome to the piece, and the lead is very Ultravox-esque in parts, but no complaints from me about that as it seems to work really wel...
