Back to the BBS, Part Six: The Demoscene reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2021-12-26 12:39 Hi friends, the documentary series, Back to the BBS, Part Six airs 28th December at 12.15PM PST / 3.15PM EST / 8.15PM GMT ! This episode covers the Demoscene, introduces you to what it is, and interviews the legendary Jim 'Trixter' Leonard, Vegard 'Shady' Skefstad of The Gathering / Crusaders Amiga demogroup, as well as Bill Hart from PCRetroTech and Rowan 'Cthulu' Lipkovitz. This vital part of where games, music, online/cyberculture all intertwined is a really important history lesson, that brings you all the way from the early 80's to the present day. ​ If you want to see a quick teaser trailer, head over to YouTube now!: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yTJBuvgqsE](https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=4yTJBuvgqsE) ​ The official release will be once again a live premiere with me in the chat and since many of you are on vacation, it would be lovely to have you along with me for the ride. I have plopped for The URL for the premiere is [https://youtu.be/cw81Kax\_XG4](https://youtu.be/cw81Kax_XG4) ​ If you can't wait any longer to see the video, then sign up on Patreon ([https://patreon.com/alsgeeklab](https://patreon.com/alsgeeklab)), where you can view it NOW! ​ This truly has been a labour of love to put together, hundreds of hours to create, between this and part 7 which is coming hot on the heels of this. There are two more parts left: music tracker scene (which is going to be great, it's got Purple Motion and Skaven of The Future Crew, so automatically that makes it great, right?!), as well as Part 8 which covers off the ANSI art scene. I might do one last hurrah as a sum-it- all-up part, but that's yet to be decided. I hope you guys and gals enjoy it! Merry Christmas!
