ZX Spectrum: Power Up (Demo, Megacode/Extreme, 1997, reenc)

[F2bnp]

"Change your pampers" Damn right I will after seeing this!

[2Trololo]

Да, это круто, даже для достаточно позднего 1997 года.

[beetwaste]

Is this really a ZX Spectrum? Seriously? I'm utterly speechless.

[jormangundi]

Oh, and great demo ;)

[jormangundi]

The credits part at 5:47 is sped up, assumingly this is ran with an emulator and I thought it's probably because playing the video is interleaved with loading something from the disk, and the emulator has quick access to the disk image. When I run this with fuse and an .scl image though, with "fast loading" and "accelerate loaders" enabled (not sure if they affect this), the scene plays at a slightly reduced speed and sounds proper to me, so I'm not sure why it looks like that in this video.

[gombabacsi]

I love these demos :)

I love z80 processor :)

[jormangundi]

Hey! Thanks for going through the trouble of making the video, it was worth it!

[MastroMissas]

WTF????Simply amazing!Good old Specy!

[Tamanozke]

lol. Cyborg from Rifts at 6:30ish.

Really impressive demo though! Very fun to watch!

The FMV part made me go "Whoa..."

[phelios0209]

joder con el spectrum

[SquidMan64]

This is the best demo I've seen for the Speccy yet! I don't think anyone can top it!

[AdrianGTC]

It's real! Downloaded from demotopia and fired up on RealSpectrum emulator! Awesome demo!

[podersanador]

me encanta, podre aprender?????me enamoroooo

[1337Shockwav3]

Seems pretty impressive für 1997 ...but yeah, this demo is real.

[KenThule]

It's a video. No need to go speechlesss. Not real.

[68040E]

if this is for real im speechless..

[68040E]

amazinggggggg!!!!!!

[killbotkillbotkill]

it just goes to show what the humble speccy can do when asked nicely!

absolutly incerdible

[mylastninja]

it was a nice move on spectrum but c64 is much better then spectrum plase see desert dream demo on c64

[j00ceuk]

The Desert Dream demake on the C64 is impressive (I watched the original on the Amiga back in 1993 or so), but the thing to remember is that the Spectrum demo scene started a lot later than the one on the C64, there were less people and no clever hardware to take advantage of - it's all down to making best use of the CPU (the Z80 is approx 1.5 times faster than the 6501 for most tasks). So the Spectrum demos are highly impressive in their own way :)

[drahytrap]

I'm really having a hard time trying to get this demo work... what emulator did you use to record this video?

[j00ceuk]

It's been a while, but I used ZX Spin, probably in either +2 or Pentagon mode. Good luck!

[drahytrap]

Yeah, it works on Pentagon mode, and it looks freaking great! Thanks!

[matholton]

Wow. Wow wow wow!!!

That is goddamn incredible - damn, I wish I had seen this way back when I had a spectrum!

[Etcher]

If something like this came out in 1986 on the +2 it would have blown peoples minds - why didn't people push the machine to this crazy level back then??

[Steril707]

Is this running on a run-of-the-mill 48k spectrum? Impressive...

[kmp008]

Awesome! Just awesome! You broke my f'n eyes :D

- nevef thought I'd see the Speccy do anything like this when I got mine in 83. This is a slap ine face to ginormous hard drives, terabytes of ram, and ridiculous amounts of gigahertz. Good job, guys! Cheers!

[ptekptek]

Really really fabulous! Amazing for a modest platform.

[TraumaZero]

legendary demo, I love Visual´s music from second part /track MAD DOG/. When I was hear it for the first time I dance in my room like maniac :) In the very end of this superb demo I was sweat like somebody washed me in the river. YEAH THIS IS POWER UP.

nice to reenc, but FMV sequence has still fucked up music
