That's a sloppy header image. So piss-tinty I'm almost concerned that the poor clanker isn't getting enough water (they are, way too much in fact)

Can we not do the whole slop thing?

I remember the rivalry and how, in the beginning of the 90s, I made good friends with a guy from the "other side" (Him with Atari, me with Amiga) and quickly found we had more in common than we had differences.

Declaring a common enemy in the PC, we both watched our favorite platforms slowly die off with the advent of games like Doom that those old platforms were not equipped to handle.

Most of all I miss the demo scene and all the creativity it fostered. There doesn't seem to be a modern equivalent for PC where programmers, musicians and artists come together to showcase their work like that. I hope I'm wrong and just haven't found it yet. I would love to see that be a thing again, especially with AI slop taking over everything.
