Marc, it’s okay to post C64 related stuff to C64.sk just take it easy if we move it into beta news. After all it’s also part of this site. Many people here like to listen to MP3 remixes etc. just we try to keep this site strongly focused on C64 scene and it’s community. Whatever you decide thanx for visiting and supporting C64.sk

drHirudo? C64 sceners narrowminded? ;-) C64 scene gives a /insert your favourite 4 letter word here/ about debates about other computers coz it is minding it's own business, but I saw a lot of trash produced by comp.sys.sinclair posters being answered by comp.sys.cbm users. But how much c.s.c. or c.s.s. is about scene? Not much. Active and creative people don’t need to argue they live for other things. Coder does that with routine! ;-)

MazeZam is a puzzle game, sort of like Sokhoban (If I spelled it right). You gotta shit blocks to be able to squeeze through to the exit. Nice little game I have to admit.
That game coder, Rich.B

16. Feb 2004 17:42
Shit blocks? Bet that hurts...
MazeZam is quite nice but the graphics are a little fiddly (the notes to Blazon about trainers in the source are very funny =-) and it reminds me vaguely of the Firebird Thunderbirds puzzle/action game...

I can’t affort to get a proper provider for hosting freeware stuff. No music in the game since nobody of the C64 sceners is willing to compose some for me! (and yes I asked {several times}). I released C64 version cause I saw it as a easy port from the Apple 2 versions. And I complained since seemed that I by accident meet some ’no-nice’ C64 users. Hope these sentences answer all the reactions from above. cya
[125] :
24. Feb 2004 01:39
Get a provider that actually leaves the site connected, even Geoshitties would be better with it?s crappy bandwidth restrictions. Actually, i’ve got a couple of gigs on my server, get a forwarding URL and talk to me perhaps. As for music, Richard there would have done it if you?d asked him, i know four musicians who?d possibly be able to help and there are more on Lemon64, CSDb and hanging around here - i don?t remember seeing you ask in any of those places?

[132] :
25. Feb 2004 05:01
@130 I saw ’ISDA’ closing site with freeware puckman clones, and I made so many ’commercial’ games clones (King Kong, BoxWorld, simple Oric puckman, BreakOric etc... Not to mention the AntiISDA warrior), so it’s just a matter of time till they find the site and close it and I don’t want anybody else to take the trouble instead of me. By using the free hosts although with low quality keeps me more mobile. If they delete the site - that’s ok. I will register somewhere else and host it there. If I use paid service - the money might went to nowhere.
[133] :
25. Feb 2004 09:54
drHirudo, at #c-64 you were kicked by an idividual person, so blame that person. At #c-64 there are too many people caring about what is good and what is not for #c-64. You are not the only person who has to live with that. Anyway, the best place to ask musicians for help, is to register in the C64 scene database (by releasing C64 productions you practically became a c64 scener) and ask people there, in the forums.

[136] :
25. Feb 2004 14:32
Maybe those freeware Pac-Man clones blatantly had stolen the graphics from the coin-op Pac-Man, so it was a partitial copyright infringement? To my knowledge, there are no patents on Donkey Kong, Break-Out, Q*Bert, Defender etc, so The ESA (as they are called these days)probably can’t operate on behalf of patent holders if they threaten hosts to take down pages. In most of the cases the threat seems to be signed by a non-existing person too, because if you answer the message almost never you get a response (I’ve heard).
But yes, if you can get hosting somewhere else which doesn’t throw ten popups and a spyware installer whenever you visit your page, that can only be good news.

Anders, what about Back to the roots site, which was closed 2 times and they have all the rights. (actually the idea of AntiISDA came after the story of Back2roots). Watch out for AntiISDA 2 (Codepasters revenge) ;)
P.S. Anders on every 8 bit forum I visit I see your name. How do you manage to read such big flood of messages and mostly answer?
It’s a mistery to me, or there are several Anders Carlssons sharing the same e-mail adress, perhaps? :)
MacGyver - a mirror working site is put at http://80.0.9.63/drhirudo/
Thank TMR for that.

Well, didn’t Back to Roots deal with (previously) commercial Amiga stuff, or did they only host free remakes of ditto? In many cases, it is true that former IDSA and BSA attack randomly - remember the request to remove games from WoS which they had written permit to host or the threat to a German university to remove the OpenOffice mirror, as it infringed Microsoft. Of course, if you mix your own stuff with other titles of uncertain distribution status, you should be careful.
Yes, I hang around on many places, but I’m trying to become more anti-social as the years go. Some day I’ll succeed in ignoring the communities and other people and only concentrate on myself.

@130 I saw ?ISDA? closing site with freeware puckman clones, and I made so many ?commercial? games clones (King Kong, BoxWorld, simple Oric puckman, BreakOric etc... Not to mention the AntiISDA warrior), so it?s just a matter of time till they find the site and close it and I don?t want anybody else to take the trouble instead of me. By using the free hosts although with low quality keeps me more mobile. If they delete the site - that?s ok. I will register somewhere else and host it there. If I use paid service - the money might went to nowhere.
I think those IDSA people are complete and utter sods. May they die in vain!

They’re called the ESA this week... from what i understand, a fair few of the shutdown notices were due to their spidering the sites in question and picking up on names of zipfiles - for example, quake.zip might actually be Mike Singleton’s Quake Minus One.

However, ESA has one good purpose - to hunt down permits to distribute old software, preferrably as untouched as possible. Sites who do so (WoS, Lemon64 etc) can display these written permits to anyone who claims to represent the copyright holders. Sure, not all software houses will allow distribution - we already know Codemasters, Electronic Arts, Capcom, Rare etc (not to mention Sega, Sony and Nintendo) will deny with a good reason, but several of the others, both folded, still alive and possibly even actively developing will allow under certain limitations. This is however a time-consuming job to track people down and wait for responses.

[142]: Does it somehow change the copyright status if the scene (whoever that is, juridically) claims it was brought up on piracy (but now is feeding itself with own productions and a few jokers releasing other people’s work for good old times sake)? Maybe ESA wouldn’t care if there were no emulators or transfer tools, because then the software wouldn’t spread easily.
(so, it is people like the VICE team and X1541 Shop who in the end are responsible for dr Hirudo’s site being brought down ;-)

I guess vice and star commander are to blame who made people spreading old games so widely.....

No, the emulators are not responsible for the games spreading. I had some MAME games long before they were added to the emulator list.
What makes me sick of IDSA is that they ruined sites like FUNET and Magyar C64HK, but pirate servers with TOSEC sets like PEmu stay online for years.
There are too many places where you can find software (binary newsgroups, IRC, web, FTPs) and assuming that you are not a lamer, you can easily find and leech everything.
But while this is bad for the software developers, it’s good for the CDRW and DVDRW producers ;)
And this killed the swapping business and I am ex-swapper now.

Pardon me, but without people swapping, what good would the scene be? producing demos never to be spread? Cool idea...Machines to me is about the way of obtaining software to use, else its just another box in the collection. C64 was divine in this case...really...now kill me!

In the case of Funet, it is a state financed university network, so I understand why Marko decided to take offline (not remove) all titles which were not clear to be published. Anyone independent with the means to host a such FTP could take over, and there are some partitial mirrors. Of course it is easier to shoot at a sitting bird than one fleeing. Anyone with the nerves can take the titles offline, question the ESA letter (but probably never receive a response) and later put it back up again waiting for another threat.

Hmm.. regarding the Sid Wine 3 compo; maybe one should entitle his entry Viagra just to see how the related advertisments banner to the right of page reacts. From what I understand, it selects advertisments related to the page content (see for yourself :-).
