Wanna see a glimpse of the Mortel underworld? I started digging out the graphics I still have on floppies and... there's much more unreleased stuff than I though.

If you wanna have a look, I put almost all of them on this webpage and I may update it from time to time (when I will discover more gfx).

Pornophonique is a german music band. Their latest release, 8-Bit Lagerfeuer, is... well, simply awesome! :)

Their music style is some sort of electro/pop/rock and they are using LSDJ (on Gameboy) in most of their tracks. Feel free to support these guys and buy the album as a real CD.

Guess who's back with a new demo?

PHAT is a demo for Amstrad Plus (128kb RAM required), it's coming from overseas and will show you some nice effects but also that demo can be done using C language (with Z88dk in this case).
If you want to know more about how to use C on CPC/Plus, you can go there to get started.

Roudoudou released his stop motion video of the CrocoChanel4. It's short, but it's good :)

What's better than ASIC Inside? Yeah! It's Delirium Tremens by Hard'OS! Since this demo won't be finished any time soon (read: never :), here is a preview of the mainpart which many people may have seen in meetings since... ermm... a few years now :)

OFE is back ! Again ! With his OFEtro 7, this mysterious scener seems to be the most productive these days. Press the spacebar to switch the CRTC 0 compatibility mode ON (that's an amazing feature :).

Roudoudou is back in business with a small Amstrad Plus intro and a great effect! (Press Space or S to switch the scroller and music ON/OFF)

Hermol from CPCRulez released a huge compilation of ZX Spectrum music named Music is Awesome.

That's it! The latest Synergy demo from Impact is finally released! This time it is an Amstrad CPC demo (not Plus). You will need 128Kb RAM to run it.

After a very, very long time away from the CPC, CMP is back in business! Enjoy this come-back release! You can leave him a comment somewhere here or on the Impact-Forum.

Few weeks after the meeting, Eliot/Benediction released all the prods of the Meuuuhting compo! (But we are still waiting for a Revival of the CPC@Work releases...). On the menu-screen, press space to see the part of the guy whose name is bouncing on the screen.

Ca y est, tout est désormais ficelé !

Supersly just published 4 news articles about CPC graphics made in the CPC demoscene. Quite interresting to read, but it's all written in french (it should be ok with a good online translator).

Shinra released two 256bytes intro lately, both written in BASIC.
TWiSTeR.PaS.CHeR (grab it here CPCScene or here Pouët), a twister experiment and COStimus(CPCScene / Pouët) for some scrollersindots.

ndGrim: If I do a 256bytes intro in BASIC, will you do another 256bytes in assembly next time? :)

To all those living in their own world and are not following what's going on in the demoscene, a funny twister contest appeared in the C64 scene and is spreading to others platforms.
The rules? Just do a twister (or rubber bar, as you wish) in 256bytes.
The price? As usual: pride, glory and a free beer at the next party! :)

This is a screenshot of some of these twisters :
Twisting Sister (C64)
Twisting Twistor Is Twisting 3 by Camelot (C64)
ZXwister by Ate Bit (ZX Spectrum) (I love this one! :)
Twistiminus by Arkos (CPC)
You will find more of them at Pouët.net.

CPC coders out there (hello Optimus ;), if you wanna code something but are too busy with work, wife, etc, just try to do a 256bytes demo while your coffee-break and join the twist!
