     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”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos (Usenet):

     At this time, I do not really think it was hypocrisis^[sic] to write "no greets to", or "fucking greets goes to"... The immediate effect was to release some other demoes^[sic], proving you're not lame, and that you can beat your "fucker" :)
