I remember so many of those intros. I must have been around 12 or 13 years old and was diving into the machine language and by just trying out things at one point I knew where to find the music of those intro's (and games) and where the sprites were etc. Even incorporated them into my own demos but I don't think anyone has seen them.
It was a great time. (and Galway is still my hero)
I did the same at that same age. Had got me wanting to know game making from then on.
For a guy pushing 50 this is my childhood...thanks for this!
Same for me.. I clearly remember sitting in my room in my parents house trying to get a grip of the c64 coding..
I am 15 years old, and nostalgic of a time I never lived. I still use my grandfather's C64 to play games and listen to music, I occasionally make my own text adventures.
simon,you have the spirit i honor :D
i was living from amiga and to now,but mist a bit of c64 ..
it wood be nice to make a group for game making :)
to bring like 15 people who wood make together great game from love of making them :D
i am ok in making 3D object ,sculpting, making some posters.. also i did some game in basic :D and some in game making programs :D
so :) it wood be just great to start making from the love of true gaming :)
now i play Endles forms most beatiful ,remake of game from oldtimes :D
my facebook is facebook.com/panter.divlji
I even use it to do my homework! The 35+ year old Seikosha SP-1000VC printer is still more reliable than my parent's Canon printer.
Hopefully you have played Zork series.
I feel you there, man. I'm 18 myself, and I'm very interested in the C64 and retro computers in general! It's also great to hear someone your age making something such as a text adventure, you rarely hear about that since most schools don't have programming classes these days, which really sucks.
15 years old. Here are my best wishes to you, coming from me Derek.B/Crazy/Censor-Design/Action on C64. Where i was a modemtrader(At&t, Amex, Visa code supplier), because one minute of calling by phone from Germany to the US, would otherwise have cost us 3.50DM.- Like
3.50.-Euros, or 3 Dollar a minute, at 1200Baud, a Game took about an hour including some smalltalk.
Cheers.
Btw. I am 47 now.
It's great to hear so many of the old classics pass by here.
Also, quite of few of my own. It's a good document too, mentioning the release dates of the Cracktros. This gives me information of how I old I was at the time I composed those tunes (14, 15, 16, sometimes, 17). At the time I didn't document anything.
Thanks, this is a walk down memory lane, so many recognizable tunes... (!)
A moment of Zen!
You were one of my heroes back then. I discovered making music at 7 years old fiddling with your tunes in a tracker(rock monitor?) on my godsent c64. Your tunes gave me so much joy. Thank you.
You have made many masterpieces back then so congratulations! I cant believe it i still listen SID tunes after 35 years. Hawkeye was far the best what you have made (in my opinion)!! :)
For everybody who never had a C64 and these Demos: On the C64 they looked absolutely smooth, not jerked like in this video. I think it is not possible to reflect C64 graphics on a PC. The output of the C64 was highly synchronized with the CRT-Monitor which gave it the distinctive look you never saw on any PC.
Oh really? I literally thought those intros caused seizures for many times.
i have my c64 connected to my LCD TV, it looks weird pixelised, its through c64 video output connector to svideo to scart.
@@stefankrautz9048 Just use CRT, or you miss your opportunity.
@Gomam0n As these demos are often designed by timed change of color which results on (moving, color changing) stripes at a certain refresh rate, the refresh rate of that PC CRT monitor must match. As far as I know, there are no modern CRT PC monitors with a that low refresh rate. Just use a CRT TV or a "16kHz monitor" if you want to see it like it was intended. LCDs are not able to show what you see on the "original", the fluidity is missed. When I see a video of that old demo, it jus does not have the "punch" which it has on the intended devices. But there are some PC Demos, I guess made by Farbrausch and others, which successfully recreated similar effects on PC-LCDs. Just have a look.
Pretty sure C64 crack intros were how scientists discovered that flashing patterns of color could cause seizures.
This is amazing. Most likely true.
I think the decruncher stripes confirmed that !
they added epilepsy as a word to the dictionary after witnessing that
Lol.i remember do them with my cousin.great memories
😂😂
100.000 views... Nice for a very "special interest" video. Thanks for watching!
Request : upload a long version of Germany's Elite Zone troopers cracktro at 50:29
Born in 1979 i can remember some of them even after so many years. Those intros had so many good music and sound ideas. Love to hear them again.
Sometimes the intros where better than the game itself.. :)
I was there at many copy parties and know a bunch of people mentioned in the greetings. Magic time. My identity back then shall remain a mystery. 😅
I was once mentioned in an Alpha Flight 1970 intro, I was just a kid back then, my heart made a little jump back then! I was so proud! haha
Eaglesoft ! Damn thats old school
Im sure im not the only one that puts on a game and spends more time in awe of the crack screen than the game itself.
Well, this is the best thing I've ever seen on UA-cam- ever.
Thanks! That's quite an honor. :)
Those was the days, my friends... :-)
Dynamic Duo and Light Circle, I still remember those from back in the day. :)
Classics!
When I was a kid, I had so many games cracked by Eagle Soft I thought they were the ones who actually created them...
Same. Eagle soft cracked everything it seemed.
In that 87-88 timeframe ESI was definitely one of the biggest names on the American C64 scene. I was a regular courier for some of the American C64 cracking groups back in the day, I had Rocket Ranger as a zero day ware... which was the highlight of my C64 piracy.
@Feinster Virginia i remember triad and TCOT the council of twelve
In the mid eighties I was addicted to reading scrollers,... in fact I still am. I should code something that feeds me my e-mails and text messages in a scrolling format.
Do it! We all suffer from it.
The whole great Intros in one video... AMAZING
Most of the games were really crap... but the Intros are kicking asses in the 80's
My whole childhood....back in the day I used to skip these intros because I wanted to play but now I enjoy them so much, this is right on my feels!
Thanks to Poland's computer scene in the 1980s I had the privilege to get copies of most of those cracked C64 games when I was a kid back and they first came out, with those intros and cool music tracks included!! I love listening to all of them, and the nostalgia is just incredible, taking me away to a different world! I got them from hacker conventions in Gdansk, namely from World Cracking Federation (WCF), a known Polish group of distributers back then.
how hard was it to get Commodore hardware behind the iron curtain?
Blackadder75 very hard. it was not only hard to get the machine, it was also really expensive for average person in Poland. the situation dramatically changed after 1989, then Commodore 64 became lot easier to buy and price was much lower.
@@Blackadder75 Basically only those with parents working in Germany somehow had a chance. But the, we had your 80's in our 90's :D So once it was easy to get a Commodore C64 the C64 scene flourished and as you moved to PC's we rode our '64s, and in the latest iteration (C64 II ?).
..we used to connect to all of the local BBS and head right to the warez section... and then spend an entire night downloading 5 blocks 😂🤣...anyone else remember the max headrom thing that was going around? ...that was one of the first digitized things i had ever seen... ahhhh those were the dayz...
PrzeszczepiX i remember saving all of the money that i could make for a long time just to save up to buy my first C-64... ...and after that my life was never the same 👍✌️❤️
It's amazing how talented coderz were back then with so little resources on the C64 doing the impossible. :)
Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway, Fred Gray, David Whittaker. Epic music in legendary intros. Those were the days!
What a blast from the past! :-D
(Most of the music is mine from when I was 15/16 years old... pleases my old me!)
Absolutely right and for a good reason: Your tunes definetly rocked! :-)
And with good reason, Maniacs of Noise did most of the best tunes for games. I used to load Cybernoid I & II for the music (hated the games) same goes for Gaplus, but I actually enjoyed playing that. Stormlord's soundtrack was something of a phenomenon too!
+Jeroen Tel Maybe you want to take a look at "The Epic Commodore C64 SID Collection" too -> ua-cam.com/video/U9Racui9jJI/v-deo.html. You're ranking on place 2 in terms of appearance in this mixtape with 20 tracks included. :)
I did... It's awesome man!
I remember a lot of these, including write a lot for the group I was in. You look at a lot of them and go wow!!! But it a lot of cases, bloody easy to do. The VIC was so powerful for it's time.
49:10 .. Legend... that's me.. how cool is that! thanks for posting this
I LOVE C64 ❤️ FOREVER
One distant day in the future, the day i die, when my life flashes before my eyes...i want all of the c64, atari st, amiga and pc demos, cracktros and intros i have ever watched to be included as my own personal outros so i can truely die a happy man.
That sounds like a dignified concept for a life outro.
Those were the best years of my life! :-) It was a great to be part of that era! I sure do miss it.
Good memories! I learned from these demos how to program in assembly, finding and using their 'tricks' for my own stuff. Some of the intros were real masterpieces, just 256 or so bytes in length
One of the best things about the C64 were the cracked intros.
11:30 Rob Hubbards Thanatos is such a beautiful SID-tune and the CCS made the perfect Intro for it.
This music is the best, especially the earlier tracks from mid 80s, right back to my adolescence - creating demos, ripping music, doing coding, this makes a great screensaver too
I may only be a kid but sometimes I wish I was older so I could have been around for the rise of the cracks seen in these intros. Such pretty music and a lot of care is put into some of these intros! You have a cool "special interest". Thank you for sharing it!
Thanks for your special interest. :-)
I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s and computers were magic back then.
I would collect 1000s of games and watch the intros and demos. For me that was just as much music as Madonna and who ever was popular at that time. Me and a friend would ride our bicycles all over town to trade games with other kids. No internet :)
I get very nostalgic thinking about those days. I think music in games these days is pretty boring.
BarrySlisk can fully relate to that! :-)
Yay! just saw this one and found my old Rolling tune used in the Crazy+Lotus intro. :-) I guess I was 17 years old back then.
23:30 This one stuck in my head for 40 years!
It's only ~33 years old!
@@JayBlackthorne good point. I didn't realise. I guess I feel older than I am. :o
I always loved it. So colorful and such a great music.
This track is Noisy Pillars by Jeroen Tel. He did a bunch of great C64 music... including the legendary Cybernoid tracks.
I miss them.......
This is art!
+Jesse Soronen Agree! :)
Damn i miss the scene... Damn... I wish it was 1987 again... -- CrUzE of LiTHiUM ---
I still remember the Eagle Soft intro with the slowed down music of Deathride
This is something 99,999999% of world’s population won’t understand and appreciate.
There are many of us.
/ Jousi Mies
@@herrkulor3771 The more, the merrier!
C64 was at its best when played with a friend(s).
In the end the geeks have won 😎
Being one of the 0.000000001% that understand and appreciate is far better 😎
Geeks won! C64 forever
Old farts remember..
Almost brings a tear to your eye
So many of these are burned into my brain :D
Congrats, your video was linked and mentioned at one of germany's biggest newspaper spiegel online at an online article
Dynamic Duo, Eagle Soft, Triad, I rememeber those! Nostalgia blast! Great times! 80s & C64 foreveeer! \o/
8:37 Eagle Soft was a legend.
ohh boy this brings back memories... so many iconic intros - it was a very special time in the scene wayback!!! i am glad to have been part of that!
Cool to see 2 of our intros after all those years :-) Orion and Sphinx ... GHD out ;-)
These chip tunes bang hard. There's just nothing that beats a punchy SID bass line and snare drum. If you combined those elements with modern sounds, you'd have a whole new music genre. New new beat music, and it would slap.
Most were "borrowed" from the games by the sound of it, but yeah, people wrote some amazing music on very limited hardware.
I've seen about a third of those at the time they were released :)
Nice coverage!
Tausend Dank für die Zusammenstellung!
... und für die Playlist ;-)
Dynamic Duo all the way!!!!
I had no idea I would end up with 100's of free games when I got a C64 and disk drive for Christmas!
Same here, in the 90s we even bought C64 games in the mall, copied them and brought them back in the store and got the money back. 😐
@@nichderjeniche Yeah, I did that as well. Then the stores changed there policy. No refunds for open software lol!
Love the music, takes you back memory lane! When you actually realise the work they put into the coding of the music... because of the chip limits, the memory limits and so on... it is another story... it's like painting the Mona Lisa with only 3 color's... Most of the early adopters (like the C64 greats) where good programmers and great musicians...
These bring back so many memories. Thanks for this compilation.
Thanks for your feedback!
I have more memories than I should of seeing crack intros as a kid in the 80's thanks to my uncle giving my casette tapes of pirated games for c64 lol
38:30 ORION, 1988 - great music, 47:30 STRIKE FORCE - one of the best intros
Man, thank you - I have been searching the tune at 38:30 for a long long time - I remember sitting & watching those demos over and over again... man, the 80s were a decade - honorable mentions: 23:30, 49:30
The tune at 38:30 is Cybernoid by Jeroen Tel. Possibly Cybernoid II but I'd have to check that.
If you are searching for SID music, try the Epic C64 SID Collection here on UA-cam. It's a blast. ;-)
Airwolf!
29:30 - i was looking for so long to find this track... FAIRLIGHT ---- epic --- could hear it endlessly
you should listen to this remake of luk hash - amazing and this is officially FairLight endorsed ua-cam.com/video/_7ilSSI68FQ/v-deo.html
Druid II by david hanlon
Oh wow, blast from the past. My brother was pretty into the C64 scene, as a result we had 1000's of disks with all manner of games, I recall most of the intros and tunes. I also remember whacking space over and over to skip them to play the games lol. From my understanding it was prettt competitive like, making the game as small as possible and the trainers, lists and lists of different cheats. Good old days.
Competition also involved being the fastest to do a release, sometimes even fixing an originally broken game. But yes, the spirit was competition - and fame.
The EAGLE SOFT INC. one is the absolute legend one. These guys just were the best. And really memorable cracktro.
Everyday i listen to C64 in my car driving from my home to work and visa versa..........
C64 FOR EVER !!!!! greetzzzz Captainsoftware 2021
I still love the Commodore 64s colour bar effects. If you tried to make a palette for them on a 24bit palette, you'd almost certainly go for the obvious and choose worse colours.
1001 Crew... Wow, last time I saw that name on my screen I wasn't even squeezing pimples yet.
Haha! :-D
Thanks a lot for this brilliant compilation! Really brings back childhood memories
You're welcome!
Thank you so much my friend, i have so much mamories with my good old C64. And yes, 86-89 maybe 86-92 was a epic time for gamers and copy parties :-) Cheers from germany.
Over 50 now but the 80's.....
I won't reveil my name back then but...
Sometimes I get to feeling
I was back in the old days long ago.
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect. You know?
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young.
The sun was always shining. We just lived for fun.
Sometimes it seems like lately.
I just don't know.
The rest of my life's been just a show.
Those were the days of our lives.
The bad things in life were so few.
Those days are all gone now,
But one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you.
You can't turn back the clock,
You can't turn back the tide.
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller-coaster ride
When life was just a game.
No use sitting and thinking on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids.
Sometimes it seems like lately.
I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow
'Cause these are the days of our lives.
They've flown in the swiftness of time.
These days are all gone now,
But some things remain
When I look and I find no change.
Those were the days of our lives.
The bad things in life were so few.
Those days are all gone now,
But one thing's still true
When I look and I find I still love you.
I still love you.
I get it but we can still be like that now... ...I still am bro u can too! ❤️🌈
I remember Fairlight (best music), Ikari, Eagle Soft. These were the best times for me. We bought disks with unit price. I chose by title sounds good.
Timecoding now included in the video description.
Not available in Ireland. Why?
Oktawian Okti There is a "strange" copyright notice pending from an artist called "Fattern" (ua-cam.com/users/artistfattern) who claims to have the rights on the "Druid II" music (used in the Fairlight intro) which is actually by David M. Hanlon (csdb.dk/sid/?id=14171). I think that's why it's not available in some countries, also issues with mobile devices as far as I know. Nothing I can do really.
CosmosC64 I can watch this video , but fattern's page is not available...
E Zandman Great! It's all good now as it appears. For whatever reason. :)
Yes. Works great now
Da man die meisten kennt wurde verdammt viel... 🎬
Es wurde...
Tears; Tears of joy.
I sometimes put this on the UA-cam app on my TV and my sons and wife are like "what is this" - but it looks pretty good on a 65 inch screen.
Watch it on 75" - highly recommended. And gets you even more questionmarks.
Brings back the memories.
The best demonstration I ever saw was called Spirit of Art by Xample Architectures
At 22 years old I am far from recognizing these epic music, but I came here looking for the origin (FAIRLIGHT, 1988) of a remix that was used to celebrate 20 years of Half-Life three years ago ("GoldSrc Forever - A Half-Life 20th Anniversary Tribute" the video title)
I came for a song, I stayed for all
47:30 I've been waiting to see it again for so long :)
State of the art intro!
Absolutely. And a great tune by Jeroen Tel called S-Express. Full version -> ua-cam.com/video/U9Racui9jJI/v-deo.htmlh07m34s
The Strike Force Intro was awesome. Back then I quickly wrote an assembler routine that toggled the whole screen between black and white (with the snare of the sid) for a disco strobe effect in a dark room (which works even better with CRTs) =P
26:30 love it so much... and one of the best Introsound ever
its a cover of Kim Wilde - You keep me hangin on
@@LarsTragel-zh7ei ah, and the sid is called papillon and you my friend have no clue
YETI, PENTACLE, OMEGA MAN, FCS, IKARI, MADSQUAD, RED SECTOR, PAPILLONS, OLDSCHOOL RASTERS are so GREAT!
I remember nearly all of them! A few surprises in there though. Nice! ;)
yep, made my own crack-intros for C64 back in the day. Broke summer games with the help of Peter Norton, I think too. ran our own BBS called the Oven in Akron oho. I seriously doubt any recalls or cares. Just saying. it was kewl.
Donald Hughes people who know, know that's awesome
wot handle? and wot crew?
LOL... Didn't read the last line... With that said, it was one of the best ever times of my life...
08:35 - I haven't heard this intro in over 30 years. Thank you. :)
Well deserved! :-)
7:30 Yeti Factories - I really like the harmony in the music
OMG the C64...... I lived, breathed, ate, and otherwise was consumed by mine in the day (and night)..... hearing the SID chip cranking it out is way nostalgic. I had a 300 baud modem and a large list of favorite BBS's. I'd composed a LOT of classical-ish soundtrack-ish music, used MIDI extensively, multiple synthesizers, and loved the game "Karateka". it was the slightly lagging clock that pushed me headfirst into Amiga addiction, but fond memories of the SID chip...... monthly magazines I'd dash to the bookstore on payday....... recall a tank battle game? it was wireframe, but lotta fun.
"Like" :)
When I am a little down I watch and listen to this awesome combilation, brings me up again.
Thx Cosmos!
Nice. Did you try the Epic C64 SID Collection for a massive 11 hour blast of SID tunes?
@@CosmosC64
Yeah, sometimes.
Blame me but is it possible to ad an index to jump around because it is a bulk of music.
the best part of the c64 was obviously the SID chip
Oha! Ich kenne sie noch fast alle ^^
You are watching my youth now, what a blast whas that. C64, videogames, rave music, playing allnights and no worries on my mind. Trading cassetes and floppies in the mail. i miss those days :(
Good old memories. Instead of palying the games i was just listening to the intro music.
Me too, and code some "epic" intros :)
We too! :-)
This is Awesome, even one of my intros are here!
scenename
yeah, wot handle and crew?
"Lightforce" by Rob Hubbard is my mobile ringtone :)
This was real fun .... never reached again
Michael Stücker i love your logo.
Watching this in 2024, about to click like, but I already did the last time I watched this it seems XD
Another like won't hurt, right? 😁
@@CosmosC64 if I could like multiple times I would
Thank you for this. So much nostalgia.
It's a walk down memory lane. The nitro team!!!
Most of the cracktors's musics I liked the one from Beastie Boys (in this video starting at 13:29). This was always my favorite one. And I also liked most of the tracks from Hotline. I used to wake up in the morning just playing this tunes on my C64. This was always giving me energy for the whole day...
True true... If you didn't know the original song anyways, here it is: hvsc.perff.dk/MUSICIANS/L/Laxity/Last_Starfighter.sid
Yeah, I never knew the name of the song, thank you very much.
There were also times, when I downloaded a huge .sid archive, picked my favorite ones, converted to mp3 and burned to a CD. Listening proudly in my car while driving... :-)
Awesome as all hell. Thanks for making this.
Fairlight is still one of the best groups. Amazing how long they've been around and consistently high quality. Never had a problem with any of their releases.
Good old times. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting!!! awesome!
The "29:30 FAIRLIGHT, 1988 (Magnetron) - Music by David M. Hanlon (Enlightenment: Druid II)" exposes a bug in the regular c64 chip that was not in the SX64 chip.
Oh man, i couldnt remember the title (Magnetron) when about a week ago it hit me! Then i started to look for amazing music from the cracktro i remembered, came here and there you are - mentioning it in the comments! Nostalgia hit hard on me today.
Oh, the nostalgia....
Fairlight is legendary because of the music
Took me a long time to discover it came from the game "Druid II - Enlightenment" (composed by David Mark Hanlon). I think there is a small difference in how they each sound.
