The thing about the current Perifractic lead relaunch of #Commodore is we have been here before. We have seen cool people from the retrotech fandom launch projects, only to find themselves massively out of their depth, usually after they've raised a lot of money via crowd funding that didn't go anything like as far as they'd hoped. People still remember being burned by The Coleco Chameleon, Intelivision Amico and the Spectrum Vega.

They've chosen the absolute worst time for such a project too, with tariiffs being added to tech projects at the stroke of a tweet and folks in the retro community have only just had new Commodore 64 and Amiga machines, with the Mega65 out there too for people with even more niche wants.

Eine Frage an die #Commodore #Amiga Fans hier. Ich suche nach Disks der A.C.S. Duplic Domain Serie, oft waren das Demos oder Digisamples und Musik. Aber es gab 'eine', die eine ganz spezielle Erinnerung war ❤️ Bisher habe ich nur zwei gefunden - hat jemand weitere? Danke für einen Boost 🥹
Eine fand ich hier: gresley.de/nostalgie/demos/dl.
und eine weitere im Archive.org

Treated myself with a Oceanic OC168 floppy drive. Compatible not only with the 1541-II psu, but also fully licensed and thus pretty much a perfect replacement for Commodore's drive. Or so they say. Will need to find that out, but the quick, quiet JVC mechanic inside already has me convinced that this is nice. So yes, I'll keep using tapes. But it's also time to use and write some new disks 😎
