C64 Group Stickers

Our project welcomes a new permanent collaborator – hedning, who is well-known in the C64 scene for his relentless preservation efforts, saving the contents of old floppy disks from oblivion. As a first batch, he presents us with a number of group stickers found on said disks, as well as a rare scan of a scener-owned Commodore REU. The RAM expansion unit provided the C64 with additional memory and was thus a helpful gadget for swappers for copying disks.

Ancient C64/Amiga Pirate Materials

Thanks to a generous donation by an anonymous veteran, we are happy to present you the oldest scene materials that have been displayed on “Got Papers?” up to now. They stem from a time when the Amiga home computer was new and exciting, when the boundaries between “legal” and “illegal” were virtually non-existing, when it was perfectly okay to sell cracked games and still be a respected scene member, and when some of the nowadays legendary cracking groups were still in their infancy. These artifacts are so ephemeral that it’s only by chance that they survived until now. These ten stickers and paper cuttings are just one portion of the materials donated. Watch this space for more.

Active in the C64 scene in the 1990s, he provided us with over 100 disk covers, votesheets, flyers and many other fascinating artifacts from a period when the lion’s share of cracking activities took place on the PC and the Amiga, while the C64 remained to be a crucial demoscene platform.

News 3/1989 – Another Lost Cracker Mag Resurfaced

After providing us with News #7/1988, Se7en came up with one more issue of this classical German C64 cracker magazine. Issue 3/1989 (May/June) encompasses 36 pages full of news, interviews, copyparty reports and random nonsense. Amongst other things, it features a German translation of the legendary “Crackin’ Comic” by Hobbit/Fairlight.
