Maybe we did, who can say? I was not attached at the time, and didn't have anything prepared. Did a little on-site 4K though. Started out with Turbo Pascal, and then migrated to hand coded assembler on a function-by-function basis until I ended up with pure asm. Then did a bit of whole-programme optimisation, mostly the parameter handling. T'was kind of a shitty prod, but fun. Didn't even need a packer. IIRC I mainly hung out with the guys from The Coexistence and a BBS operator called Scythe. Nice guys all, and Scythe gave me a good ratio on his Box. Good times! =)

  "Ratio" — that certainly brings back memories! Access to online data was a carefully cultivated trickle back then. Every byte you could download was a potential treasure, something new and exciting. Now online data is just a firehose where every website tries to make me download 50 megs of advertising junk as soon as I knock on their door...

  Funny, a guy called Scythe, operating a board called Burning Chrome was a member of my group (Paranoia). We mainly developed PCBoard PPEs. Good times indeed! ;-)

    Omfg, Burning Chrome, that's the one! I remember I dug the Gibson reference, still do in fact! Btw Paranoia rings a bell as well, definitely not an obscure group at all. This is turning into a blast from the past! ^_^

      Hehe, sometimes Hacker News is unbelievable. ;-) So, I take it you‘re from the Cologne area as well, given the Burning Chrome‘s proximity to the city (if memory serves) and long-distance calls were outrageously expensive.
