8Bit Underground: 8-bit Underground Portal System

This forum has been placed online as somewhat of a "museum" for 80's era underground software. Things like wardialers, box tone generators, and warez file transfer software for platforms such as the atari 8-bit and ST, commodore 64 and Amiga, apple ][ and GS, and the various smaller success stories from the early 8-bit scene such as TI994/a, Times Sinclair, Amstrad and more.

You will not find game ROM's here, nor will you find any discussion of any near-current day phone exploration or warez trading.

But if you were one of those who grew up with software like "Phone Man", "Phantom Access", "Tuff Hacker", "Cut Fur", "Novation Apple Cat", "Extender Bender", Hayes Hackamatic", "The Cats Meow", "GOEScan", "HandyTerm", "PowerBox", "Quantum Hacker", "ToneIT", "Amoeba Dialer", "Cranks Away", Multi-Hack", "Quck Hackem", Scan-IT", "ScanMan" and more - and would enjoy seeing screenshots of those apps, running them in an emulator, or talking with others who were part of that period as well - then this may be the place for you.
