1998, "andreww", C64 slang (on Internet newsgroup comp.emulators.cbm)I was just considering the term 'lamer' (because of all these ROM D00DZ who I think of as 'emulamers') and I was wondering: is 'lamer' a term that is unique to the C64 scene? I haven't seen in used it other circles, but it sure used to crop up a hell of a lot in demos, cracktro greets, etc.
1999, "Mickael Pointier", Oldskool (on Internet newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos)At this time, I do not really think it was hypocrisis to write "no greets to", or "fucking greets goes to"... The immediate effect was to release some other demoes, proving you're not lame, and that you can beat your "fucker" :)
