I did have the advantage of using a Koala Pad and Koala Painter which made it much, much, easier. (Still not THAT easy though - got to keep some of the credit. :roll: ) I heard that Bob Stevenson used a joystick. How the heck he ever managed to do those fantastic pictures with joystick, I'll never k...

For once a decent pic of me! Hooray, you're a genius!

... However the sound on the C64 was the best part of it for me. I thought some game gfx sucked but the loading pictures by SIR'86 were the bizzness! :P :oops: Thanks for the kind words! I've owned many machines, ZX81, C64, Speccy, Atari 800, Amiga, ST - heck I've even got a couple of Acorn Electro...

I'd be interested in a cartoon, as I could use it to promote my site.

I also don't believe that BITLive has that much to do with the remix scene from a musical point of view. BITLive is about people who loved and appreciated the music from the Commodore 64 - not the remixes (but have probably done or enjoyed the remixes too), who like to meet up, have a good drink, a...

The Atari machines were excellent, except for their tape loading system which was even worse than the C64's - noisy and unreliable.

I used to work in Silica Shop in Kent, selling Atari 8-Bit computers, at that time the primary source of them in the UK.

<<< There's a hole of about £4000.00. Still hoping the DVD will make some of that back, but the cashflow problem is pressing. I've got a VAT period coming up, royalties to pay, incoming bills and a business credit card bill, and I've got less than £1000 left. Scared does not begin to cover it...

I never hated the speccy, but I hated poor conversions of speccy games on the C64. Same with the ST. Never hated it, but hated the fact that many ST games were badly ported to the Amiga.

One thing that struck me is how this event is unique in that there's no separation of the original creators and their fans. Everyone mixes freely, unlike other events where the fans are deliberately separated from the artists. In many ways the C64 remix scene and the BIT Live events in particular ar...

After refusing to post a story about BIT 2004, slash dot have now put up a story about a remix album of Donkey Kong Country SNES tunes. If they covered that, why not BIT 2004? :x Someone in the discussion asked about rights and royalties, so I posted about BIT 2004, and the good work that Chris as C...

When I saw Makke & Larsec performing "I nearly shat my pants" Genius stuff guys :lol: Seconded! :D There were three different music genres represented this year, it's nice to have some variety in the different musical styles. And of course the Rap bit stopped us getting too po-faced a...

Given enough notice, I'd go. Looks like it'd be almost cheaper than going to London!

I really hope that Stuck in D Eighties do a studio recording, they were totally mindblowing. We have talked about it with Chris. However, 1) we do feel that we are a totally live band - how else can you be when you never get the chance to reherse with each other..... each time we play something it ...

The Wetherspoons was a great idea, especially as their drinks prices were reasonable. Their food wasn't that nice though.

I thought it was great! :mrgreen: Congrats to Chris for organising it and the artistes for great performances. Few problems with the mixing at the beginning, but sorted out for the rest of the concert. Met a lot of really nice people, had a great laugh, and listened to some awesome music. I really h...
