Give us some information about yourself.
My name is Robert Dörfler, age 16 and I was born on the 2nd of October 1986 in Zschopau, Sachsen, Germany.
What handle(s) did you have and how did you come up with it/them?
I have watched the movie Hackers more than twenty times, and yeah, one of the Hackers is called "Lord Nikon". :) When I was on the Amiga I used the handle Crash but I only made one demo there.
What group(s) were you in?
I'm a member of Civitas, Flashback and Unlimited.
What tasks did you have?
Coder, artist, musician and swapping at times.
Between what years were you active?
I am still active! :) I have been active in the scene since 2001!
Tell us about those years and how you got into the scene in the first place.
After the Mail Madness Party 1 I wanted to join a group to be active. Only one or two weeks later, I joined Civitas.
How could a typical day in front of the computer look like?
On holidays, I sit in front of the computer from ten a.m. to four a.m. the next day. From time to time I have to get something to eat or visit the toilet. :)
Did you invent any special techniques or tools to make things easier for you?
Some time ago I made an 8x8 animation player but I still haven't used it.
If you take a look at what you did back then, what are you most proud of?
Hmm, I am most proud of my demo I Can't Code 3 for the Mail Madness Party 5. I got the second place and yeah, it was a lot of work.
Who were your scene heroes and why?
AEG, Graham, Oswald, Krill, Bubis and the others. Why? They made or make cool effects which show us what the C64 can do.
What was the coolest thing someone invented on the C64?
Hmmm, the coolest thing I've ever seen was a non-static tunnel effect with great speed in Bumpmania 2 from Arise.
Did you go to copy-parties, meetings or tradeshows?
Yeah, I have attended seven parties.
What was the scene all about in your opinion?
Was and still is! Hmm, I think the scene is only for having fun. :)
What were the highlights?
Oh, that's not so easy. My favourite demo is Soiled Legacy of Resource and my favourite event is the Mail Madness because it was the party that brought me into the scene.
Any cool stories to share with us?
Nope. ;)
Are you in contact with old C64 people today?
Not really. I only reactivated someone. :)
When did you get your C64 and do you still have it lying around somewhere?
I got my C64 on my first school day back in 1992, and since then, I have used my C64 every day. And my C64 doesn't just lie around somewhere. It has an extra desk. :)
Was the C64 really that special that we like to think it was?
Of course!
When can we expect to see a new C64 production from you? :)
Music and pictures will come every month and the next demo in two or three months time.
Do you have a message to your old contacts and everyone else reading this?
Hello! ;)
