> Waiting for the post delivery, hoping that day was the day the next package arrived. And ads in physical newspapers to exchange demos and games! I've got amazing memories of the C64 era and then the switch to the Atari ST / Amiga one. With my best friend we'd hop on our BMX 2000 bicycles and drive all across town (and sometimes even for two hours outside town) to go meet our "contacts" and spent countless time copying disks. And then we'd cycle all the way back and be amazed at the new intros (they weren't called "cracktro" yet IIRC) and demos we had fetched. And, just like you, I had to know how to code the same. So it was on to assembly to manipulate the blitter and the copper: those "copper bars" were just way too cool! P.S: I cannot thank enough my mom who, like many parents, somehow understood that it was the future and bought us those expensive toys (it was sizeable expenses for her).
