The Song "Shades" from german Composer Chris Huelsbeck is from 1986 and the Intro was made in 1991. I Love iT..Its so simple and so nice !!

[sacreleases]

It cannot be 1991, at least not the original, using the same logo and tune. In 1991 was the Berlin Wall (and East Germany) no more.

It was 1987 when I got exposed to this (or something that was almost identical to this, same music, similar looks).

I dug through a couple dozen C64 productions where Chris Huelsbeck's tune Shades was used. Ripping and stealing was normal on the C64 (the guy in this one even claims the music to be his creation, read the scroller).

Das waren noch Zeiten!!!

@sacreleases This demo seemed to mark some kind of hiatus in history. It was about this exact time that intros to cracked games gained a life in their own right and became stand-alone demos. I'd say the Shades demo was the exact point where it became possible to predict what was to come... and that it was going to be big.

Trust me when i say it was before 87. It was more like 83 as i was in Scoop with tmc (Charles) and we used to swap warez for years. Newlook like a lot of the groups back then used a year that was further ahead. No one at newlook could ever tell me why though lol

This song was published in the computer magazine "C64er" at that time. Maybe thats a reason why this song is been used so mutch...i rember me typing this song into my own computer (yes in assembler like code) for some ours. That was fun in the old days :-).

[sacreleases]

The coder claimed even the music to be his. If it wasn't a complete knockoff, then it was at least close to it. Same logo, same sound, but from 1987 (and not later). The Wall in Berlin was still there intact when I got exposed to this :)

[demoscenes]

The logo is awesome :)

Hmm, maybe I should try make a remix of this song... ;)
