2008 in retrospect

Yes, my blog has been woefully neglected the past year, so I better start this year a bit more productively with a look back at 2008.

Major things for me during 2008 was first of all that I added several nice items to my collection of old 80ies computers:

• Commodore Plus/4


• Commodore VIC-20


• Philips NMS-8245 (MSX2)


• Atari 130XE


• Commodore 64 (old bread-bin model, I had a C64C before)

I also had a very productive year on the demoscene (after a bit slow start the first months), releasing more stuff than I have ever done any previous year:

• 407566 - C64 onefile demo, released in April


• Very Much Useless - Sega VMU demo, winner of mixed compo at LCP2008 in August


• Pseudocode - C64 demo, 3rd in C64 compo at LCP2008 in August


• 126b - VIC-20 intro, released in August


• Ancient School - VIC-20 demo, winner of Sundown oldschool demo competition in September


• Invasion of the big pixels - MSX1 demo, 2nd place at the Grep White demo competition in December

I'll be very pleased if I can keep the same tempo this year!
