WHO WE ARE

We’re Detail, Cino, Lucifer and Bigboy: four friends who made demos on the Atari. Together, we founded TACF. You may have seen our name as Turkish Atari Cracking Force or Turkish Atari Coding Freaks in our releases. Back then, we expressed ourselves through code, scrolling text, graphics and music. Our demos carry messages to one another, greetings to friends and little traces of those days.

Detail’s recollection · 19 August 2003 · TACF on Ekşi Sözlük

Years have passed. Now we’re bringing those demos together again, right here. To us, each one feels like meeting an old friend. We wanted to reconnect with people who remember them and share them with anyone discovering them for the first time. Welcome. Pick a demo, turn on the sound, and let the Atari take it from there.
