Battle by Yogibear as an official music

file, along with the single files are
on the disk. The whole thing was coded
by NEO & Stirf, while JSL & Shake took
care of the graphics. The music
collection has been released under the
ROLE flag at the Primary Star 2007
party which took place 10-12 AUG 07 in
Reusel, Netherlands.

instead of almost 10 minutes. The
archive includes versions for the C64

faster (5 seconds). At the moment the

"The Commodore 64 Parallel Super-
Computer" in the free to download
magazine www.commodorefree.com Can you
let me have any more information about
the project
Hi Nigel.
Well, we are still working on it. We're
finalizing the design & several proto-
type configurations have been tested.
We have secured 16 C64's thanks to
Robert Bernardo of the Fresno Commodore
Users Group, so we think we have all
the hardware we'll need.
I hope that by the middle of October
we'll be mostly done with the build &
will use the remaining time before the
VCF to finish the software.
