Well, as this is all about C64-scene, I should start with my very first computer. In 1988 (IIRC) at the age of 13 I got a Commodore C128D (plastic) as a Xmas-present from my parents (after a hard time of begging, of course)! Luckily everybody in my school class had a Commodore, so there was no doubt about which machine I would get! I wonder what I would do today if it was a PC, Atari or Amiga back then... But thus, I stuck with this beautiful machine and never switched to another system. I even haven't got a PeeCee today!
In the first time, I played a lot. In the beginning, I had to play "Eagle Empire" via keyboard! In late 1989 I made my first experiments with graphics, mostly on my own or later for a game-project with some schoolmates (which of course never saw the daylight). In the early nineties I finally got in contact with guys from the demo-scene (via the famous "Computer Flohmarkt"-magazine). I managed to become a member of the German group Cream (which released my first GFX-collection "Totally Bugged"), and later on joined Psychic as 2nd. Cream died, I joined Role as 2nd (in 1995 or 96, I guess); Psychic soon also died, and I stayed in Role as only group until 2003. As I had very good contact with The Dreams-guys since Doc Bacardi coded a viewer for my compopic on Symmek 1997, I was happy when Ninja asked me in summer 2003 if I would like to join The Dreams. Soon after that I left Role. I think now I have really found my place in the scene!
Besides from my mania for old Commodore 8Bit-machines (I have a quite big collection of all sorts of stuff), I love to drive my VW Beetle (1996, Mexico-build), enjoy reading books and watching films (especially SF), stroll over flea-markets, try to follow the developments in the world in common (and in space science and technology in special) and of course I like to meet friends and booze around (sometimes). As profession I work in a psychiatric hospital as a male nurse.
I don't have any message for you, except this one: STAND UP FOR PEACE!!!

I was born on Jan. 8th in 1977. Unfortunately I had to wait 10 long years till I got my first computer - the C64. After a long time of gaming and some tries in Basic I finally started to learn assembler. My first projects were some small tools and games with very ehm... interesting gfx - I call it my Yuck!-collection. :-) Later I managed to save enough money to buy a CMD-HD with amazing 20MB. Although it was a great device I was a bit dissapointed that so few games worked with it. So I patched some, which were released in the german 64'er magazin. It was a great time, but one thing was missing: I had no contacts! This changed when I got my first Modem, a 1200/75 nerve-wrecker for BTX. There I read a mail from a strange guy named Zaphod who searched members for his new group "The Dreams". Guess what I did... :-)
Being a Dreamer means party (as you can see on the Picture), nevertheless I still code sometimes. Up to now I only worked on "Knoops" and "Baccy`s Nightmare", but more will come!

I was born in 1982. When I was about 5 years old I had first contact with a computer: my father's Schneider CPC464. Of course I only played games in the beginning. My uncle and some friends of mine had a C64. So, I knew this machine but I didn't own one. In 1990 my father gave away the CPC to my cousin and bought a PC. Sometimes I coded in BASIC or PASCAL, but not very often. In this period of time my uncle had an Amiga 500 which he used for playing games. I liked this computer and the games very much. Some years later he gave the A500 to me because he now played games on his PC and consoles. I've always liked the music of games and intros. In 2001 I became aware that one of the biggest demo parties (mekka&symposium) took place only a few kilometers away from where I live. This was my first demo party, I released a FastTracker2 song. The C64 entries impressed me very much. From then on I watched out for new releases (especially music) and in 2004 finally decided to make SID music myself. At the Replay Copy Convention 2005 I joined The Dreams. I hope that we'll have some nice releases and of course great parties! Besides having fun with computers I play the drums and the piano. I'm studying physics in Göttingen.

His text got lost somewhere... Will be updated somewhen (perhaps ;)).

Getting my first C64 at the age of 11 I was soon addicted to this machine. It was a usual carrer: Games, BASIC, Assembler. But I failed in making contacts then, so I went onto PC when I was 15. What a mistake! After two quite boring years I decided to go back to that system, where coding means most fun to me. Learning from my earlier mistake I also looked for contacts and called Zaphod's "DreamBeamBox". So I got in touch with "The Dreams" which I joined some months later. Since then I did various projects and tried to explore as many of the C64's features as possible. Still I have enough ideas and motivation left for the next years, so you may expect some releases, but please don't hurry!

When I'm not occupied by my C64, I want to work as an Embedded Linux programmer. Another passion of mine are the KEV Hannover Indians, a really great icehockey-team. If you ever go to Hannover and there is a match, GO THERE, you will love the atmosphere, guaranteed! And finally I am interested in Japan and its language. Even spent 4 months in Kyoto, a truly great experience.

In the year 1994 I was a guy, that enjoyed programming and hacking on the C64. That was the year I joined The Dreams. After that my life became hard. As I mentioned before, I was just coding and had a lot of fun. But then... So much party, so much beer, so much smoke. I was a little bit confused. I thought, computer-people were silent guys, sitting quietly in front of their computer and don`t talk much. But I realized, I had to learn. These guys are different. For example: At the first meeting we held, we did really NOTHING on the C64, the machine worked only for some short Games and Demos (we needed some inspiration!). The rest of the time we had just a great party ! That was a new understanding of fun for me, but a better fun by far!!! That's the reason why I`m a Dreams-Member. My former interests (Coding, talk about technical things, etc.) combined with a big portion of fun; that`s Lifestyle (c) by THE DREAMS ! ;-)) Now, my task is to style these Web-Pages, writing some Demo-Parts when I`m asked to write them and some other things. Althoug I`m working most of the time on the PC, I love my C64 and that love never ends !! ;-)

Hi there! After really big pressure on me to write this text, I'm eventually doing it (guess what) while my computer converts some strange graphic format to an even stranger one. So I am Zaphod (but you may call me Zap), and I got my c64 many years ago for Xmas. After many months of gaming I started programming in BASIC. I wrote 2 Games first (one Blackjack, that didn't really know the rules, and a boxing game for 2 players which is quite cool - I guess I'll release it someday). Later I started coding and founded The Dreams. After our first Meeting in my village my reputation here was completely destroyed and i rarely walked on the streets without being thrown at with cowshit. Well I'm not VERY active on the c64 anymore, but I still enjoy it and sometimes a melancholical-nostalgical feeling overcomes me and i start coding or painting again (just like now). But there are more important things in life - HAVING FUN !!! In that manner: CHEERS!!!
