Cool that people still keep such stuff!
I was part of the demoscene way back in the late 80s-early 90s, and I just clicked randomly on some of these fonts and one of them looked familiar. However I couldn’t tell if it was one that my friend (in our demo group that I’ve long since lost touch with) had made or if I saw it in someone else’s demo... this was not a time where we concerned ourselves with archiving our work for future generations to watch. And it would be impossible to find out since my parents kept asking me whether or not to keep my old Amiga that was sitting unused for years ... and I ignored their questions and eventually they threw it away... I’m just glad Bitcoin hadn’t been invented yet — haha.
- hannob 6y agoI'm not sure when exactly scene.org was started, and I experienced the demoscene in the late 90s / early 00s, so a different time than you, but I felt there was quite some effort at archiving. Most demoscene artifacts worth archiving are of course the demos itself, and most of them are published at parties. And pretty much every party of any relevance, including many small ones, pushed their releases on ftp.scene.org. Furthermore there's the "got papers?" project that archives stuff like flyers around demoscene (and related scenes) events: https://gotpapers.scene.org/ https://gotpapers.scene.org/
- whizzter 6y agohttp://scene.org http://scene.org kinda grew out later in the 90s but I think they took in all the http://hornet.org http://hornet.org archives that were the go-to ones before scene.org kinda took over to keep them preserved. While scene.org has been a solid destination for the past 20 years for more "modern" platforms there has also been hard work in trying to preserve the C64 scene information that in many parts predated scene.org , this can be found on http://csdb.dk http://csdb.dk
