Breakpoint 2009 wrap-up Part Two
I hope you enjoyed the demo wrap up because here is part two. I almost forgot about these, to be honest, so I am sorry!
What we have here is a bunch of files in the categories of Music, Graphics and Games.
All the oldschool platforms are bundled together on one music category, called “executable oldschool music”. Don’t ask me about the ‘executable’ part, some of these did not come in any sort of executable format. Pixel graphics are not a very popular thing nowadays on the demoscene, so this year we only got one category to cater for that: C64 graphics. Fortunately for the oldschoolers among us, they made an unofficial compo for ASCII and ANSI graphics so we have that too. Then we have 96KB game, which was multiplatform and had a very cool game for the C64.
So, let’s hit it on with all the data!

Breakpoint 2009 wrap-up Part One
Yeah this took me ages… Sorry, I am very busy with my real life and cannot commit to post as much as I used to.
But I still guess a lot of the releases on Breakpoint have passed by most people’s noses so here’s a sum up of what I thought was most interesting, on the oldschool/wild categories. Even a month after Breakpoint has ended, you could find a few gems here to enjoy . Hey, it beats reading about a retarded pussy who takes pride in the fact his bicolour hair covers all his face and that he just painted his Gameboy in 32 colours.
So find contained herein a bunch of videos and babble from yours truly!
Part one covers the DEMOS only. part 2 will cover Music and Graphics
