Statement from the GB64 Team

Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, we have decided to pull the GB64 collection from production. This means, in plain English, that we will not be releasing it to the public. The recent C64 copyright/trademark issues that have plagued the scene over the past few weeks, the lack of free time on our part, the lack of money on our part for hosting and distribution, and certain impatient people who have demoralised us so much, are the reasons for us acting this way. We are saddened to have to act this way, but we feel we have been forced to do so. We'd like to apologise to all our loyal supporters over the past few years. Maybe in the future we will be able to release the GB64 collection to the public, finally.

To RIP or not to RIP!

We'd also like to point out that the above paragraph and the rumours that circulate about us never releasing our work is utter and complete bullshit -- This was just an evil trick to get back at those people who have outwardly shown their impatience and bad tempers toward us.

In fact we're in the process of forming the GB64 Collection CD, a process that is almost finished. You'd better keep checking back here over the next few weeks, you may be pleasantly surprised! :)
