Hi all. My name is Jorge and i came from Portugal. I have 24 years old. I start listening Chipmusic about 1 year ago. I love almost all types of tunes but i have a personal love for C64 and Atari sounds. Hope to make some friends here and learn more about chipmusic.

Nice idea jyooruje and welcome ! So...

- I particularly love YM (ZX, CPC, ST), but i like all kind of chiptunes

- My favorite artists : Maktone, David Whitaker, Rez, Ghidorah, KENOTRON, Jeroen Tel, Targhan, Kenet, Nagz, Zoef, Purple motion, Yerzmyey, Pink, Laxity, Drax, KB, Hubbard, Daglish, BSC, Zalza, Radix, Kenotron... and many more. But i would say that i first discovered scenemusic/chiptunes with these artists. They got me into chiptunes, near...2000 / 2001 but then i had a long period without (2004-2009).

- I started collecting old consoles / computers in 2009, and felt the need to listen to chiptune again and start tracking with CPC, Atari ST, Game Boy, C64, Adlib, Renoise, and lots of other stuff.
But it's funny : i'm not a gamer at all I can't get myself on the TV and play more than 10 minutes hehe (every 2 or 3 months i try and fail). But I would like to play... but i can't, don't know why.... It's just for the collection / nostalgic purpose. I also tried a few coding on Game Boy and Amstrad, but not enough time. Some little triess with pixel arts... also collection old console / computer magazines... When i've got nothing to do, i can paint an old console from time to time. Am I retro ? Well, maybe a bit :/

- If you have Amiga CD32, NEO GEO AES, 3DO, Jaguar, Arcade system, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Thomson TO8D for me, then i'll be your friend

Hello there!

As requested, a quick introduction on my part.

My real name is Frank, I'm a 36-year old German, working as scientific staff (and part-time sysadmin and coder guy ) at a university, working group "technical computer science" ("The FPGA Crowd" ;) ).

I've followed the "scene" since the days of the C64 where I did my fair share of, well, putting intros before de-copy-protected games-n-stuff. ;) The first thing I did back then when I got the box was typing in the MSE (a tool to enter machine language programs via hex codes) and then use that to type in an assembler monitor (LOAD "SMON",8,1 - SYS 49152"

Then came the Amiga, which really should have blown the first PCs out of the water!

Nowadays I'm not so much into demo stuffs anymore, but I still very much love listening to my heroes from back then, especially remixes - Rob Hubbard, David Whittaker, Ben Daglish and the whole crew.

My favorite current-time musician is definitely Bjorn Lynne aka. Dr. Awesome aka. Divinorum.

Okay, so much for now, hope to read/chat you soon!

Regards,
Frank
