19/12/2009Some of you may already be aware of the excellent site http://bitworld.bitfellas.org/. It contains a large comprehensive database of Amiga demos, but with a somewhat limited search facility.
To remedy this we have created an alternative search interface to the collection at ExoticA - Amiga Scene Demo Database (Beta). Like the Modland and HVSC Search it includes a variety of ways to browse and search through the information. We only display a small subset of the data at Bitworld, but provide a link to their site for further information. Please give it a try and give us any feedback on the ExoticA Forum. It is marked as beta for now, as there might be bugs, and new features are likely forthcoming. Many thanks to zeg, Asle, Curt Cool and Menace (and the rest of the Bitworld team) for their help and co-operation.

A new official C64 remix album from C64Audio.com? Did you think we'd given up? Well, NecroPolo has worked like a dog to produce a real quality Prog-rock album packed with great guitar work, 70s synth loveliness, and even some SID. It's a real labour of love!

10/11/2009On 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).

23/10/2009The 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!

15/09/2009C64 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!
