How about adding Infinite to the revival years scene?

Nostalgia and nightmares... Nice to read all those stories about the early 'scene' years.

Anyone remembers Robin Van Hoegen? He was a known hard/soft exporter. He lived in Japan. Too bad communication was so slow at those times... (snail mail).

His business was called GEN (Global English Network), our contact with him changed RBM into GENIC: Global English Network Info Centre. Pfff.
I remeber Ronald Zijlstra and I travelled by train to Germany, where he was on a holiday, to buy one of the first Panasonic MSX2+ computers.

Heyah Bas! Welcome to the MRC. Joining the line of returning MSX 'legends', eh?

BAS! dude! how cool of you to join, never expected to EVER hear from you again. It's getting better and better these "revival" days.. all the new-OLD names that pop up here on the board... man!
First Ronald z.(RooN), next "other" Ronald? (egas)
(now, me prays Erik Bos joins soon)

How've ya been Bas? (or WHERE've y'been)
do you even remember me? haha... cool.

Nice Bas L. to see you here!! hope you will stay here more often @ MrC.
I think you do not know me, but i know you from the MSX fairs

BasL is somewhere in my book of 'MSX Celebrities'. I know many names from them and things they did, but I haven't met them at fairs orso... Anyhow, welcome BasL!

Quote: Ronald: If anybody interested in some old GENIC stories, do ask. The Kieskeurig story will do

Ronald wasn't active anymore at that time.

That story is too complicated from my point of view.

Haha, it still is

Quote: cheers, ro (which is short for ROMAN in case u were wondering) from Leeuwarden. Roman, now i remember, you lived next to the old watertoren, and your parents named you after the island where they beget ('made') you. I will create some 'Old Genic History' story, but i first need to figure out some names/dates/happenings. I'll post this story later, when it is finished. Please don't close this topic before!

Well post some more stories I'm curious because I only live approx. 5 km's away from Burgum ( the so-called MSX centre.... hahahaha), there's far more MSX activity in Noardburgum nowadays

Did anything happen scenewise when msx just was put on the market? Were there people active in the early 80's I mean? Oh I remember sparrowsoft,but also courbois software (in Beuningen)

hm.. I'd say the scene -originating from the cracking scene afaik- prolly took start little after moment when msx2/128k systems with diskdrives came out, which could run cracked (mega-)ROMs. Some early-scene ppl did SCC-demos .. (Xelasoft, Merlasoft) I guess that's when the 'scene' started ..
