I always imagining you could get demos like this back to 1982, just to the moment when the c64 was finished. And then you just insert this demo into the drive and watch the faces of the original engineers. Would they believe that this is actually the system they just finished?

In the top 5 of C64 demos ever
I am a fan of demos since 1987 but this jaw dropping to me in 2024...
Everything about this is absolutely amazing, in the original sense of the word... I'm particularly impressed with the music, some wicked squelchy AFX style acid tracks in there, fantastic stuff!
And such cool music!
I LOVE C64 ❤❤❤ FOREVER ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is so damn good! Every routine in this demo is amazing!
6 years later i'm still impressed. So fresh that when i turn up the volume, a cool breeze comes in.
Very impressive! The end part with the sprouts is so satisfying to watch and so perfect. I loved the whole demo and really dig the soundtrack. Also, +lemmingoffence thanks for letting demos play for a while when at the end part. Same thing for the note. I often play C64 demos for their soundtrack :)
I love the spinning spheres! And the music! Great job guys.
Amazing stuff! The cube and the bobs in the endsequence is really really fantastic. cool tunes too!
The music... these sounds are so amazing... such a good work... the SID pushed to its very limits... gorgeous!!!
This music is absolutely amazing. I say that as a professional musician.
One of the best 64 demos i've seen. It's impressive to watch and listen to today, but if i'd stumbled upon this on compunet back in 198x i'd have been truly blown away. Awesome visuals and routines, killer filter sweep work in the music. Great stuff.
the smoothness blew me away completely!
That ending effect! The sheer speed is incredible and matches the music perfectly.
Great demo, but the music, wow. Perfection on acid! Release it on a 7 got damn IT ;)
This is an amazing demo i love the the SID soundtrack.
The muzak in "the note" is f****in grooooovy! NICE!
Amazing demo; Amazing music!
Wonderfull demo,more please!arsenic :)
Absolutely awesome!
my fave demo. love the music
What an amazing ride this demo is!!! I’m flabbergasted
Crazy stuff, never seen some of the stuff here!
masterpiece!
heavily underated and always a pleasure to watch... kingstyle in all ways!. thx to you arsenic guys for handing me out the real disc at X ...loving it !!!!! yours Steel of G*P / SCS+TRC

Amazing demo, amazing music! And amazing graphics! Even with multiplexing, how have they done it to display SUCH many sprites ( I mean the spheres at 12-17min)? Anyone can explain it to a coding noob like me? :D Cheers!

Im taking a guess. Its not sprites at all. But they flip between 2-3 screens and draw new in new ”sprites”. The ”older sprites” dont move its ”flipbook animation”.

For example, multiplication 8bit x 8bit takes 130 cycles, so about 7500 multiplications per second on C64. Any 8 core 4ghz processor with AVX512 support will do 8 x 4 x 64 = 2048 billion multiplications, so 273 million times faster. It would be funny to compare floating point performance, but that would be just ridiculous. Well, my above example is also pretty ridiculous also. But to be really ridiculous, comparing that 8bit x 8bit multiplications against GPU tensor cores which in the best models can do almost 150 teraflops with 32bit floats, and 600 teras with 8bit integers. Lets overclock 25% and call it 750 teras. So it's 100 billion times faster. But again, if someone would write 32bit float multiplication routine for C64, I would assume it's 20 times slower, lets call it 16 times slower (4x4 more bits), so it would be 450 multiplications per second, against 150 teraflops. 333 billion times faster.
That's a really clean capture! What video hardware are you using?
Wow!
VERY nice! :) Where can we read more about music titles, download and graphic tec @ 13:00 ? :)
unfassbar
Yeah 😄
Amazing... How did they achieve all this? Did they programme this on a real C64?

How on earth did they do the sprite massacre at 12:25 ??? The sprite limit was 8 sprites but with multiplexing one could draw more but hell that's at least 100 sprites in this demo and they even overlap. How!!! JUST HOW!!!

Well, it's made with tools on modern computers, but runs on a stock C64.
I'm a rando who likes binge-watching C64 demos occasionally so maybe I'm missing context, but I'm baffled by The Note, cos all the demos I've seen (except for... two? maybe three?) were ALL thematically inconsistent and incoherent Bopping tune tho
