Our next demonstration is planned for an unforeseeable future.
OUT(Dated)
April 2008
After the Meuuuhting in april, where a pre-version of Synergy 2 coded by CMP have been presented, I've been asked to do all the crunching and linking job (yeah, again). Well... as usual, I could not resist to hide something, especially after seing that there was already a cheatmode ("fucksml" ) in the intro part against Semilanceata. So after watching this "oldschool" Synergy 2 (which is quite ok for a come-back prod by the way), I've started banging out some splitscreens. I planned first to do something simple with "vertical split-screen", a little bit like in the Madness demo by Gozeur, so that I could do it quickly (I allowed myself only one week to do this hidden-part in order to not delay the release of Synergy 2 too much). And as usual, everything gone wrong and I ended up with this S&Koh rip-off!
In the current release of Synergy 2, this hidden part run ok on CRTC type 1 and 3, some pixels in the 32Kb picture are nuked on type 0 and I didn't have time to fix the sync for type 2 and 4. I wanna thank PulkoMandy and SuperSylvestre for their fast support in this fast trip!
So in the end, newschool or oldschool, CPC or Amstrad Plus, it does not matter. Semilanceata is kicking your ass wherever you are! (and yeah, this is really the 3rd Impact hidden screen. Have you seen the two others? :)
Testimonials
- "il est dommage d'avoir sorti ça en cheat part, c'est tout simplement con !" (Ast/Impact)
- "quand j'ai vu la sortie de la S2 sur cpcscene, je me suis demandé si je devais quitté la scene." (CMP/Impact)
- "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah !!! Encore !!!" (BDC Iron/Hard'OS)
- "Il n'est pas nécessaire (voire utile) de maitriser à fond le crtc, par exemple, pour s'éclater sur un cpc. C'est pas un passe droit pour être reconnu comme cpc-iste [...]" (Longshot/Logon System)
- "Orbite :)" (Nicky One/Semilanceata)

ALLERGY
May 2007
This little intro is our contribution to the CrocoChanel 4. The title of this intro is a little joke to the Impact team about their "Synergy" demo (which was also released at the CrocoChanel 4). We have started working on Allergy a few days before the party and finished it, with some difficulties, at the party place (Thanks to Ker for the amazing debugging support since 1975! :).
Nothing new here, full framerate real-time calculated vector-balls and a noisy digitrack tune.
To enable the interactive mode, keep the spacebar down while any vectorballs object is flying on the screen and wait until it is suddently replaced by another one. Then :
- Cursor keys to change colors
- f1 to f9 to change rotations speeds
- f0 and f. to select an object
- 1 and 2 to change the zoom
- CLR will reset the translations
- [SHIFT+]ENTER to use random [FAST] translations
- [SHIFT+]RETURN to use random [FAST] rotations
Interactive demooz are so oldskooolz! (I bet CMP will love that! :)
Emucentric people should be happy, WinAPE run fine with this intro (only the sound is a bit weird). And special greetings to TwoMag for cracking the "emulator detection" of this intro! You're awesome! I can't imagine how hard it must have been to crack an "emulator detection" which doesnt exist... You should try to crack your WinAPE configuration next time lamer :)

SAPPY
January 2007
We were wondering why nobody used digitrack tunes on the Plus yet. After Weee! in 1992 with his simple player used in Prehistorik 2 or his little technical showcase demo for Cadjo Clan, there's... Nothing. So we first started trolling others Plus sceners and after laughing at their bullshits, we had our answer: they are all lamers! :) So we started to work on Sappy, to show what a good Plus demo is, that it can be done quickly (2 months for this case) and it does not matter if there's only simple effects.
Sappy is all about forfeiture and death.
And if you think it is (or the texts) harsh, just fuck off and leave our playground :)
Feature stereo digitrack music, oldschoolish effects (badly-flat-rubberbar, vectorballs and copperbars-thinggy) at full frame rate (50 frames/second) and, of course, an arrogant scroll-text with fuckings inside :)

Video
Screener version of SAPPY by ASiC on a real Amstrad 6128Plus.
You will miss the randomized features of the demo (it never run twice the same).
And the SymbOS thing you can see at the begining before the demo start is
a MS-Windows like multitasking OS for the CPC (and MSX), you should check it out, it's frelling crazy! :)
To watch the video online and fullscreen, watch it on Google Video (Thanx to TbO! :).
SEMINOÏZIN
October 2006
That's what happen after one night boozing and role playing hard. We linked all the parts 2 days later (when the headache was gone :).
Feature an audio track based on small 3s sample-loops (like in the CrazyCars II intro).

Ze Meeting 2006 Invitro
May 2006
Invitro is something rare these days on the Amstrad.
This one will run on the outdated Amstrad CPC range and invited you to Ze Meeting 2006.
Important note for Targhan: The meeting is over, do not come now! :)

Wired (unfinished)
December 2005
This prod has been started a long long time ago and won't be finished at all. No great effects but nice graphics and original music. Nevertheless it's better there than lost on a floppy taking dust.

Fantasy
August 2002
This demo was a new concept on the Amstrad : a demo with a story-line.
Not the usual onescreener full of shit we are too much used to see on the Amstrad since twenty years.
We wanted to tell a simple story with simple effects.
NickyOne did this demo after a very long break far away his Amstrad.
The graphics with the trees were originally made on paper while some boring lessons at school (haaa... good old time!) then scanned for being colorized in a hurry (hence they look really bad in my [Grim] opinion :).
The music is inspired from the original movie soundtrack "The ninth gate".

Between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Windows... there was an Age undreamed of, when shining scrollers lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the monitor phosphor... Hither came Da Boxon Team, the South drunkard junkies... But this is another story.
