Cool, Hacktec from legendary 1001. :)

Sodan vs 1001 - of course veterans will remember. Also the story about how Cardcruncher got stolen and then released.

ESCOS is still highly regarded today as it should be.

Indeed, that’s me! Were you active in the demo scene too?

Yes, on C64 I've been with Beastie Boys, X-Rated and again with Remember later on.

Now working on a contribution to the Amiga competition for Revision 2023.

ESCOS blew my mind back then.

1001 Crew sparked the whole C64 demoscene, IMO.

I stand in awe.

Indeed the most insane effects were always created by the dutch :)

Same here. I will never forget my "first contact" with it. I saw ESCOS at a friend's house (Brandis/Success). At first I thought he manipulated the monitor, which was able to zoom in so that it shows only the text/graphics area. :D

Those were the times :) I remember Sodan releasing his borderscroll back then. I guess 1001 released their demo first. 1001 was always held in the highest regard by us scandinavians :)
