LOL - well I did release in December, and got one reply. Posted a track for some constructive critisism, nothing at all. So different to the good ol' days in the early 90's.
Luckily for me, the crowd over at Chiptunes=WIN on Facebook are a really positive and supportive bunch, and helped a lot.
That's rather insane. Love it.
This community to me feels rather closed. Fine if you're already known here, but it doesn't seem to want to engage newcomers who largely get ignored.
BTW, regarding the C64 reliability issue mentioned in this thread, I currently have 3. One of which I recovered from a skip in 1996 and put it straight in to a box never to be switched on until last year. They're all working perfectly.
So I found some photos of my old bedroom come musicroom - here is one from 1990, where I wrote most of my well known Amiga chip-tunes 
C64
Rob Hubbard - Spellbound (my all time fav)
Rob Hubbard - Monty on the Run (as I play this on the violin and is one of the first chiptunes I ever heard)
Chris Huelsbeck - Shades (spend many a time trying to get my C64 to load the knackered tape I had of this demo)
Amiga
Walkman - Klisje Paa Klisje
4mat - DNA Dream
Dr Awesome - Space Deliria
to name but a few amazing tracks created by some of the most amazing composers you'll ever meet.
Hello, all.
I'm new to the world of chiptunes, but have long been an admirer of old video game soundtracks and the old Demoscene music from Future Crew, Triton, and others. When I was younger, I spent a good deal of time with a music program on an old Tandy (I know, I know...), something on a Colecovision or Intellivision (not sure which), various cheap keyboard synths, and eventually migrated to other instruments like guitar and bass.
I'm currently learning my way around Milkytracker, since it seems somewhat familiar to older trackers I've used. Hopefully I'll have something to share with everyone soon. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to learning more. Thanks!
Welcome from another older scener
Thumbs up from me
Lol@James! Thanks Alex
oops... my bad, sorry....
No access to those, I'm afraid. But I did have a floppy with State of the Art on it.
One of THE all time classics
Amiga 500, around 1994 or 1995. I spent my entire childhood playing games on it. Never could find any resources to learn to do anything useful on it, though.
Shame, there were loads of tracker's around for music.
Blimey - it reads Electrosound. Now I wonder if my disks are still readable.. I did all of my GCSE music homework on that 
(delete)
C64 for me too, back at the end of 1983. I was 10
cheers!!!
After a 20 year break from chipmusic, I'm happy to announce the release of Reawakening.
These are my first chiptunes since retiring from the 'scene' in 1993 to focus on composing music for video games. I decided in 2011 that the time was right to bring the name TDK out of retirement to create this album, utilising not only the tricks of the chiptune trade 20 years ago, but modern chiptune and music production techniques, whilst keeping in mind the channel restrictions of days gone by.
Reawakening was written using 2 Commodore 64's with the MSSIAH cartridge, a Commodore Amiga 1200, Elektron SIDStation, ReFX QuadraSID and Plogue Chipsounds.

Enjoy, and FLIT KILLS MOTHS
