  • Protracker SDL

    I been keeping an eye out for this and decided to post it now because it seems a lot more usable, but it’s still in early stages.

    8bit Bubsy has decided to port Protracker 1.3B to SDL.
    “ProTracker SDL is a platform independent rewrite of the classic ProTracker software from the Amiga platform.”

    The link to download the Win32 version and source (so you can compile it for other platrforms)is here

    This is by far one of my favourite ProTracker versions so I recommend you to try it and keep an eye out for this project’s progress.

  • Monarchy & FIRE – Sabrina Digi 2010 (2010)

    Allegedly released to commemorate Sabrina Salerno’s new release of 2009, these guys made a little demo which includes nice mosaic effects AND a digital audio routine running on teh stock C16 or Plus/4. Pretty impressive.

    I also have a Sabrina Salerno fetish, so I love this thing :D

  • Blowjobb – Anything (2010)

    25The Glucholazy party has brought forth a bunch of interesting Atari XL demos.
    Here I leave you with a nice one from Blowjobb (nice name xD), which has some very cool graphics going on.

  • FST – FST Trackmo 2 (2010)

    “Trackmo” is a word that describes a certain type of demo of the Amiga era.

    Big demos used to be called “megademos”, which were an assortment of routines, many times each with its own music, that were presented to the viewer one after the other or selected by the user on whichever order they might wanted to watch them.

    The trackmo is as big as a Megademo and in many ways similar (one routine after the other) but it’s played like a videoclip, in one shot, under one or two soundtracks, and usually has sound coordination. These were very popular in the Amiga and many of the biggest classics are of this format (like 9 Fingers).

    C64 demos are not usually trackmos but in the late years they have started being so, and the name just stuck. Here’s a very Amiga-inspired trackmo from the FST crew, released at Assembly 2010

  • Inversion – Crushed (2010)

    Seems like the sceners are a bit slow posting the Assembly demos on YouTube for the oldschool competition, so this won’t be as easy as I thought, but patience will pay off.

    I start an almost month-long tour schedule this Friday, so I Won’t be around TCTD until past mid-September. Therefore I will post a bunch of stuff in the following 3 ays so you don’t miss me :P
    I will try to post some stuff from Mexico and Japan too, kind of keep a travel log if I find something interesting for the website.
    Anyway, this was the highest-ranked  C64 demo at Assembly, it has some really cool moments, it’s not fantastic, bu it keeps it fresh, and one of the pictures (the one with a girl and a jellyfish) has been created in a procedural way which is pretty fantastic.

    Enjoy this demo:
