Seeing those boards make me wonder how trading must have been on the c64… Average filesizes were what? 200K per disk? Less? So about 15 mins at 2400 Baud and sub 1 min when we started having decent modems. A day in a c64 trader’s life must have been really boring 🙂 Or was there a lot of stuff going to trade? I remember trading multi-line on Amiga and still, 24H was not enough? Any insights?
1200/NONE over some echoing blueboxed connection, usually a diskside was 4 files (zipped, “1!bla”, “2!bla”, etc.) – there was a lot of re-transmissions usually to get an error-free upload 🙂
Really nice intro.
Yeppers , another nice motiv8 intro 🙂 🙂
Nice logo & fonts and the tune is really cool!

this time the logo is better, the tune is cool indeed, great font too, may be a bit too big. wonky worms is like the game “snake”.
Nice zik.
