Didn't suggest so. Although I have to say I prefered how it was back then. No gaming apart from floppy throwing compo. :-)

- Digit-Al 7y agoI can see how your statement could be misinterpreted, it was slightly ambiguous. I did, upon careful reading, realise you probably meant that it was in your past and you were happy not to go back, but saying "in the past" rather than "in my past" made it sound a little as if you were dismissing the scene in general as being in the past - and possibly irrelevant. Hope that helps clear up the misunderstanding between yourself and previous poster :-)
- vardump 7y agoThanks, you're right. I do still occasionally follow 8-bit and 68k Amiga & Atari demoscene. https://pouet.net https://pouet.net FTW! Sadly I no longer own genuine hardware. Maybe I'll buy C64 and Amiga once again one day...
- thunkymonkey 7y agoI know Assembly now has the reputation of primarily being a gaming party, but the only games I've ever seen at other demoparties have been compo entries for oldschool hardware.
- unixhero 7y agoIt's not correct. Half the room is dedicated to demo scene and gaming is not tolerated. Assembly itself is many things now, with world class eSports arena, sales fair, boothbabes, demo scene arena, temporary TV broadcast studio and so on. For other demo parties, smaller demo parties there is no gaming and the experience is exactly the same as it was back in the early 90s.
- unixhero 7y agoStill you're off. There is no gaming on real contemporary demoparties.
