So, it was not meant to be… Most that compete, fail. That's the rule of most games. Jack Tramiel named his company “Commodore” (a navy rank) as he throught the computer business was a war. Today we commemorate the failures, because they weren't often not bad, just unsuccessful. From the ilfated Amiga 600 to the Texas Instruments TI 99/4A. DJ Daemon remembers the days of infighting between hordes of different computers that were by and large incompatible with each other.

People

  • DJ Daemon Host, Producer He got his Commodore 64 in 1989 and his first Amiga in 1990. A huge fan of tracker music and have had a long standing dream to create a radio show playing that kind of music. In 2020, that dream came true and in december Amiga Flashback started as a podcast. It was later renamed Flashback, tracks from the past and here we are. He is also an orga for Swedish demo party Edison and a total retro nerd.
