Starstruck finally final!
In an example to follow for others, TBL have gone back and fixed problems with their 2006 release Starstruck and released a final - after some 12 years. We'll hand the word over to the creators;
"The original demo was released at Assembly 2006, where it won the PC demo competition (the demo was run in WinUAE). Some time later MiKRO / Mystic Bytes ported the demo to the Atari Falcon. Thanks, old chap! We fixed a number of visual glitches and made some overall performance improvements as part of the porting effort. Most of these changes were brought back to the Amiga codebase as well, but we never released a final version for Amiga.
... that is, until now. Before Revision 2018 people had begun asking what happened to the Amiga version, and a jolly Britelite / Dekadence convinced Kalms that it was time to revisit Starstruck. The sourcecode was lying around in Dropbox. It took a bit of tidying up and taking care of loose ends. Here is the result. 12 years is not exactly quick, but yes, this is the final version. We hope you enjoy it!

Complete results and files from Revision 2018 are available!
The world's biggest demoparty just closed its doors and provided us with a ton of high quality releases for all platforms. Have a look below, there should be enough to keep you entertained for a while :)
64klang2 publicly released
The softsynth that has been used in so many intros and executable music entries has been open sourced and released to the public as part of the ongoing celebration of the 30th anniversary of demogroup Alcatraz! Let's hope this empowers even more intro music in the future \o/
Suddenly, a wild Revision files appear
After some technical issues initially, the first batch of files from the (still ongoing) competitions at Revision have now hit scene.org - so it's time to deep dive in and start getting some links up and shit! :)=
The Gathering results - and files!
While a lot of attention lies towards Germany at Easter, it's easy to forget that in Norway a different event is taking place simultaneously. While in recent years its releases have perhaps been overshadowed by those happening at Revision, The Gathering has been a breeding ground for some of the next generation creative demosceners for years and years. Several Meteoriks nominations this year went to people who took demoscene boot camp at The Gathering. The results from this years' edition is now out on Demozoo, and we hope to have some files and stuff to go along with that in not too long!
Thanks to zokum for super service in getting the results out! <3
EDIT: And thanks to some more super helpful organizers, all files are also now available on scene.org.

The BAM Archive
Hot on the heels of the recovery of the Bamiga Sector One Amiga floppy disks earlier this year, comes the news that RBBS has managed to recover their C64 disks as well. They have dumped them all, and made them available on their website.
Please note that these are raw, unsorted, dumps and are not sorted in any way shape or form, so going through them will hopefully be a fun treasure hunt for those so inclined.

Is there a better way to start a new week than with a bunch of nice C64 releases from a new demoparty in Sweden? Probably not. Now spend the rest of the week pondering how the little bread bin has managed to pique people's interest for so long.
