407566 by Shadow

YING GAMES, WATCHING DEMOS AND LOTS AND - ON THE NINTH OF APRIL 1988 I TURNED TWELVE. I JUMPED OUT OF BED AND RACED DOWNSTAIRS TO OPEN MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT. WITH TREMBLING HANDS I UNWRAPPED THE PACKAGE AND FOUND A COMMODORE 64. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GREATEST GIFT I HAD EVER GOTTEN. TODAY, 20 YEARS LATER, THE SAME C64 WITH SERIAL NUMBER 407566 IS STILL RUNNING AS FINE AS EVER! I DID THIS DEMO TO CELEBRATE TWO DECADES OF PLAYING GAMES, WATCHING DEMOS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF PROGRAMMING ON THIS AMAZING COMPUTER. CREDITS FOR THIS LITTLE ONE-PART DEMO: CODE AND GRAPHICS (WHAT LITTLE THERE IS) BY SHADOW/NOICE. MUSIC BY DANE/BOOZE DESIGN. I GOT THE IDEA TO DO THIS PRODUCTION A WEEK AGO, SO IT ISN'T MUCH, BUT IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS, RIGHT? :) I WANT TO THANK DANE FOR PROVIDING THE MUSIC AND ALL THE OTHERS ON CSDB WHO OFFERED ME TUNES. ALSO SPECIAL THANKS TO SLAMMER FOR KICK ASSEMBLER. NOW, SOME OF YOU MIGHT THINK IT A BIT WEIRD TO DO A DEMO TO CELEBRATE A COMPUTER, BUT NO OTHER PIECE OF HARDWARE HAS HAD SUCH AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE AS THIS C64. DECISIONS REGARDING MY EDUCATION, CAREER AND HOBBIES - ALL OF THEM WERE INFLUENCED BY THE ACTIVITIES THAT STARTED ON THIS VERY COMPUTER. SO TO 407566, THANKS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT 20. - BDGIKMORSUWYZ[/]^___ ___^]/[ZYWUSRPMKIGDB - BDGIKMPRSUWYZ[/]^___ ___^]/[ZYWUSRPMKIGDB - BDGIKMORSUWYZ[/]^___ ___^]/[ZYWUSRPMKIGDB - BDGIKMORSUWYZ[/]^___ ___^]/[ZYWUSRPMKIGDB - BDGIKMPRSUWYZ[/]^___ ___^]/[ZYWUSRPMKIGDB - BDGIKMPRSUWYZ[/]^___ ___^]/[ZYWUSRPMKIGDB -
