excellent idea :hammer:

Life's too short to worry about the little things. Peace out to Patrick & Michael & also recently to Edgar, all died too young:(

Great initiative! How about adding people who already passed away and honour them by showing off their work?

Thanks, Yasu.

I agree with you 110%. :)

I just recieved a list from the c64 database on fallen heroes > http://csdb.dk/stats/fallenheroes.php

No one person is to big or too small for our tribute site :) I really want to point that out. I will add people on a continues basis given the new information. :)


Thanks

Torben

What about people like Tramiel, Butterfield, or Miner, just to name a few.

Yes Tramiel and Miner would be cool and I will dig into that. Unsure of butterfield in the sense that who is that person ? :)

Also got a good update >>
Alex and I, just added more fabulous past sceners (rip) and other items on the site and a "help us" section. If you have the time, have a look at the updated site and comments are most welcome. Thanks :)

Richard Joseph and Mike Singleton should be remembered how about making your site like a Hall of Fame like in Swords Of S0dan ;)
Did you post also at EAB? scene wise it can't be beaten.

Kamelito who do not forget about Hybris :)

Hi Kamelito,

The main focus was the C64 and Amiga scene and honor those past people. If we "blend" to many other but not the least relevant and famous people, we may end up inflating the site and loose focus. Perhaps like you suggest would be a "sister" site in the style you mention. :)

An example would be: Is Tramiel, Miner and Jim Butterfield to be considered a "scener" in regards to the term being a scener?

Hi everyone,

Alex and I, have been updating our demoscener legend site and some of you have mention Jack Tramiel. We did a little digging into it and this is our result of the man who made Commodore 64 into what it is and his contribution to the demoscene. :)

Hope you like our post on Jack Tramiel.
