  1. Bit of a long shot, would anyone on here know how to get in touch with anyone from the Finnish demoscene group Future Crew, in particular Psi (Sami Tammilehto)? Are any on them on fedi? They must be in their 50's now.

    I'd like to ask if he still has the Scream Tracker 3 source code, and if he would consider releasing it... It's such an important part of computing and music history. It deserves preservation.

    Update: hearsay is that Psi is not interested in releasing the sources. See replies.

  5. Yesterday I finally got to the point, where I could run something on my retro Pentium II with its Gravis UltraSound PnP #GUS
    One piece of art, which probably influenced me most during my teenage years: the PC demo Second Reality by Future Crew, released for Assembly 1993
    #SecondReality #FutureCrew #assembly #demoscene

  6. Just showed my 11 y/o son the #SecondReality demo by #Finish #demogroup #FutureCrew. I felt like I had to explain our excitement and appreciation at the time. "This was fucking INSANE at the time". Not sure he fully appreciated it. I'm sure he'll be in the same situation when he tries to explain our weird obsession with #AI to his kids.

    Didi I run this on a genuine #Pentium system with #gravisultrasound emulation using #a
    PicoGUS? Why, yes I did! 😎

  7. Managed to buy a couple of delicious #Trust Soundwave speakers for around €20. Case and contacts cleaned. Tested with #SecondReality by #FutureCrew on my #Pentium 200 sleeper with #TsengLabs #ET6000 graphics and #PicoGUS sound.

  8. #vintagecomputing #MSDOS build progressing. #Pentium 200 with #TsengLabs #ET6000 graphics, CF for storage, #Gotek for floppies and a #PicoGUS with the #McCake #WP32 #MT32Pi wave table add on. Output looped into a #SoundBlaster Vibra 16C for full Gravis Ultrasound, Sound Blaster, Roland and General Midi support. Excellent for all things DOS. Aiming for early to mid 90s games and demos, including point and click adventures from #Sierra and Lucas as well as some of the excellent demos from that time. I'm talking #MonkeyIsland, #LeisureSuitLarry and #FutureCrew and their #SecondReality demo. Tested the latter and got something in my eye. Oh the feels.

  18. Well, this sounds #retrocomputing #demoscene interesting. Did not know about this.

    "IBM OS/2 Warp demo competition. Future Crew & Accession in connection with IBM Finland are proud to invite
    you to participate in a new competition: the IBM OS/2 Warp Demo competition."

  19. 30years ago: The year was 1993 ... The year that one of the most impressive artifacts of the #demoscene has been created on #asm93 #assembly ... The most Iconic PC-Megademo of all times by the group #FutureCrew was presented: "Second Reality"

    It's one of the demos that has been ported to many other platforms afterwards as homage to the absolutely stunning product of this time.

    I remember seeing it 1st time on a machine that was never intended to produce these awesome Pictures and Sounds, when we were used to slow 16Color Animations and Beeping PC-Speakers ...
    The Sound remains in my head for the last 30years and for the years to come.

    This is a homage to alle the ports and remakes of the original demo, which has been preserved as sourcecode on github. Still we are missing a real High-quality video capture of the whole original demo to enjoy it in a kind we did it 30y ago ...

  20. The beginning of »Panic«, Future Crew 1992, PC; Letter Fly-Through with that music by Purple Motion (Screamtracker Module) is aaaaahhhbsolutely unbeaten. #demoscene #retrocomputing #futurecrew #screamtracker

  21. @mcfellaface Oh man, I forgot all about the ! Haven't watched a since the mid/late 1990s - and all of them. What people managed to fit into a couple dozen K (or even just a few K) was staggering, and simultaneously (A) inspirational and (B) giving a sense that I'll never be that good at coding ;)
