I would have preferred this winning the Breakpoint 2010 Amiga demo competition rather than that bland Elude flyby demo shit.
Very cool soundtrack by Jazzcat and a surprisingly cool “8-bit” transition in the middle :D.
And unlike Elude’s entry, this runs properly on a REAL Amiga.
Yeah, I skipped a week again. But that’s because there’s a ton of Breakpoint goodies to digest.
Today I offer you a selection of demos and graphics released on oldschool platforms at the last Breakpoint installment. Only my selections! If you wish to see the complete prod list and rankings, check out the Breakpoint website.
Now, after the jump, enjoy some still and motion graphics from the demoscene:
The most “liked” oldschool platform demo on Pöuet, TBL’s Starstruck is an incredible technical feat on the Amiga platform, and a very well designed one at that. Even featuring music by one of my all time favourite Amiga composers, olof Gustafsson a.k.a. Blaizer, this demo is a corker and arguably defined TBL as THE Amiga group.
Enjoy
In this week’s demo column, I am stoked to present this production. Super legendary group Dual Crew Shining makes a comeback to the demoscene and in the Commodore 64 no less, with this demo/experiment which can only be described as “mindblowing”. It’s just… fucking incredible. Certainly Edge of Disgrace has been displaced and the bar for C64 technical achievement has been raised a lot. Did I mention it’s real time 3D polygons with 8 bit samples (using a routine based off THCM’s mindblowing sample playing routine)?? You really need to see it in real hardware though to apreciate it. This is a WinVice emulated output.
This is a great warm-up release for this weekend’s Breakpoint Party in Germany (which you should check out on the stream!)
Enjoy
This demo was a big omission from my part on last year’s TCTD Awards’ Demo category. I was really ashamed to have missed it and not put it in the nominations, so I am now posting it trying to make up for such a horrible mistake.
Taking the Spectrum to colourful places it hadn’t gone before (where’s the colour clashing? Because I can’t find it. It must have done a runner), this is a real favourite among the demo punters.
Enough banter, watch this cool demo.
