Hacker Documentaries, Videos & Shorts
C-64 Cracks, Tools & Demos
by Iron Feather Journal
C-64 Cracks is a 104 minute video of Commodore 64 demos from cracking crews, tools, and warez from the 1980's to early 1990's. Set against the original demo sound track, this is a glimpse into the past roots of the hacking and cracking 'scene' from a visual perspective. Sit back on watch, and the memories will flood back! The classic SID music, the awesome raster bars, the sprite abuse, the scrolls with all the greetings & shouts to fellow pirates!
