Perhaps one of the least well-known retro gathering is held in the German town of Kleinenbroich, staged by Männerquatsch Podcast host Björn Baranski. The village, which is close to the Dutch border, is apparently an excellent location for the annual revival of the once controversial 64-bit Jaguar ...

In the days of floppy 💾 disks, almost everyone had something to do with software piracy. No one can say that he or she didn't know about it. But was that possible? We told a story in two books that gives a first-hand account of how crackers and hackers cracked copy protection mechanisms on home computers such as the C64, Atari ST and Amiga and consoles such as the Super Nintendo and Genesis (Sega Megadrive) and distributed them worldwide: At a time when there was no Internet. The richly illustrated two-volume book series also follows the relationship between the hunters and the hunted. Lawyers, judges and police not only made life difficult for the underground, but also resorted to perfidious methods that are almost unimaginable today. CRACKERS gets to the bottom of the BBS machinations as well as the structure and function of the software and games industry. How did intercontinental communication work? What channels did the crackers use to obtain games? How did the networks develop and maintain themselves over more than 10 years? It is an adventure to follow how games came to Europe that had not yet been published. We interviewed game producers, publishers, players, users, shop operators, journalists, hackers, crackers and suppliers and let them tell their fascinating stories.
