This is amazing...Never thought an amstrad was this capable.

@jonvincentmusic 5 жыл бұрын

Totally amazing. Taken over 30 years for programmers to really push the boundaries and demonstrate what the hardware in machines like the CPC and C64 were actually capable of.

Thank you !

Very impressive! Love the color palette on the old CPCs. By far the best looking of all its 8-bit contemporaries 👌

This Amstrad thinks it's an Amiga! Well done guys, that is some kick-ass production!

Exactly! aiming at 16bit now. :)

Getting flashbacks to the 'Eerie Forest: Shadow of the Beast' demo now. Why bother? You've made the AMSTRAD hardware become 16-bit! ; )

@overflowlogonsystem 6 жыл бұрын

@Artstate Digital thanks! NoRecess and I are close friends - when coding our demos (he on "phX", me on Logon's Run), we were already discussing about "looking like 16 bits". Actually Condense won! sooooooooo colorful! :D

When Alan Sugar repackaged the CPC 6128 into the 6128 Plus machines, they were marketed to take on the Amiga. He obviously was aware of what that machine was capable of when the rest of the world wasn’t. Great demo.

It's like the CPC emulates the Atari ST that emulates the Amiga. Amazing stuff.

@brugmansianoncorpus7009 2 жыл бұрын

the CPC's cubic (yet small) palette is great for emulating larger palettes and transparency effects and gradients etc. this demo does a great job of showing off it's colour capabilities. i'm liking these modern/retro Amstrad Demos. my fav 8-bit machine

I used to do Z80 programming on the CPC6128, with the Zen Assembler... I'm amazed... I know what I'm talking about. The machine doesn't have hardware scroll for instance, and it doesn't have bitplane graphics either, which would make some of the effects seen, far easier to do than the really are. It's quite an achievement.

The CPC actually has hardware scrolling ;)

@gtggj6851 5 жыл бұрын

There was hardware scrolling in ghosts and goblins and other games. Im also amazed found it too slow to move even one sprite without background destruction :)

Wow amazing - this is the first Amstrad demo I've ever seen. The scene was so niche and back in the old days & there was no internet so althought living in UK I knew nobody who was part of the Amstrad scene.. I got into Commodore 64 scene by chance by meeting someone on holiday. I loved the c64 tho I think better colours and faster clock speed/more powerful processor on Amstrad.. great work Regi Keyz/coder former group Breeze (Commodore 64

Thanks! If you are interested by the CPC history, have a look on the timeline I created with all the major productions sorted by year. I suggest looking at the ones from the last years (especially Batman For Ever), they are as amazing as phX! :) kzfaq.info/sun/PLsP9IyH3f1U8FEYYcc3wp73fVVGaaEYfs

differently from atari: no hardware sprite support. 64 or 128k ram, max 16 colors out of 27, and 3.3Mhz Z80 CPU.

Молодцы! Очень понравилась работа, особенно вторая часть. Музыкальный трек Фактора6 отличный! Хотя его внешний вид на электронных пати пугает русских скинхедов. Но в целом одна из лучших работа на Амстраде. Русские Хаккеры - спектрумисты говорят авторам работы спасибо! но автомашина ситроен все равно оставляет нас в недоумении по стоимости запчастей и кто догадался в бампере ставить бачок омывателя?

Dear Programmers, Why didn't the programmers of 1989 never made something like this?

@ArneChristianRosenfeldt 2 жыл бұрын

Now the programmers are retired and can do fun stuff. But in 1989 the good ones were busy coding for pc-engine, genesis, 486PC with VGA, amiga, atari STE, Apple][igs, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_II en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Archimedes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X68000
