Commodore 64 Demomania!

Here's a neat collage of C64 demos and animations which I put together a long time ago as part of my first 'Xmas Chortles' movie. I revisited the footage a few years ago and added a better C64 music remix (Last Ninja by Instant Remedy) and improved the pace and editing slightly. I hope you enjoy watching this great selection of C64 clips! Please note that none of this footage has been speeded-up or digitally enhanced in any way, it is ALL Realtime Commodore 64 footage!

This video is also available on the Back in Time Live Showreel DVD (with much better picture quality) http://www.binaryzone.org/ (it's in the retro DVD section!) You can also download many of the demos featured in this video from the 'FREE BZPD Disks' section on http://www.binaryzone.org/

No this is not a good C64 remix and i know i can do better, but that has nothing to do with it.

I'm a bit into the C64 scene (which is still alive today making demos) and i have worked with guys that are able to do stuff like this on a c64. I have contributed a bit to a couple of demos and if i had seen some of my work molested in such way as you have done here i would explode in fury.

As a C64 musician and graphic artist i must say this sucks!

I would be more than happy to "molest your work in such a way" if it would result in you exploding in any way, shape or form. Now go away and stop posting crap!

Anyone hwo knows the name of the fairlight demo in 1:46?

[Kenzoid27]

I think it's "Legoland" by Fairlight.

The hypercreative C64 crowd invented ways to flicker colors to make it seem like there are many more colors. So yes, that is entirely possible.

Man....im 24 and JUST now finding out about this scene.... Im actually in school for video game production and this stuff right here is soooooo inspiring...3d modeling is my newest digital infatuation outside of photoshop and illustrations

[Exarian]

geez, this is c64? why are these people not making professional games, or at least being advisors to get the best performance out of a given console?

Lookiing since ages for a c64 demo with same women @ 3:24 , center of screen. Release date prior 1990. The tune of the demo is partly digitized but i didnt found it at HVSC. Hints?

[Horazio]

I never get tired of this tune

[samplesmasher]

yeah, you're right....this pic is from Hein/diArt who was a member of vision, a pure Amiga group....

Psygnosis are a big name now on X-Box or something, but started on the good old Miggy or earlier. I still have some of their early demos, and the Miggy. Not forgetting Scoopex and Fairlight. Wow - so long ago.

[MrOllyK]

You'd be surprised what the C64 could do using the Copper just like the Amiga. 24 bit colour is possible on both machines but can be hard to work. I've been programming the Amiga since 1990. It takes only a few hundred bytes to invoke a copperlist, then add a playfield or 2 with the copperlist and there you have it. I still love the older demos. On the cutting edge at the time.

Wicked Demo! Excellent Music! 5 *****

The one at 2:51 cannot be a commodore 64 demo, it must be an amiga demo. Theres way too many colors
