Hello!

I was a minor player in the UK demoscene from 89 to 92, joining groups like The Mighty Druids, Rare and finally Ecstasy.

So many treasured teenage memories from that era... endless streams of blue floppy disks in the post, copy parties in London, bitching with other groups (hello Slipstream!), putting out (really rubbish) demos and the rush of achievement

I don't have any Amiga gear now, so it's just WinUAE for me. I can't even remember how to use Amiga operating system, never mind assembly code. But like so many of us, it gave me a great start in the IT and web industry.

So I'm here mainly for nostalgia, I guess. And I'm determined to fill the gaps in my demo collection
