Welcome

Welcome to my little corner of the web. My current project is an application for playing Amiga and C64 music on macOS called RetroPlayer

Up until 1999 I maintained an Amiga port of the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME). You can still find its home page and downloads here.

Demography

In the late 80s and early 90s I was active as a programmer in the demoscene on C64 and Amiga. I have been a member and programmed demos and intros for the following groups.

This is a rebranded version of Chart Attack after all the members of The Mafia joined Triumph as founding members.

The Mafia Years

I don't think this demo was ever distributed because all members of The Mafia joined Triumph as founding members shortly after it was made. It was later rebranded for Triumph and used as an intro for IntuiTracker 1.1. There was also a bug with the channel equalizers so they were disabled in the IntuiTracker intro but has later been solved for this original intro.

The Federation Against Atari (FAA) Years

FAA was a C64 group located in Horten. It was founded by me and Klaus "Xerxes" Lunde with me as a programmer and Klaus as a swapper. Alven joined as a swapper when Klaus quit the C64 scene.
