Censor Design - Wonderland XII - Real C64, 8580 SID
Commodore C64 demo Wonderland XII by Censor Design.
Captured from a real C64 using s-video cable and audio from a 8580 SID chip.
(Note: 8580 SID chip is actually wrong for this demo. Magnar confirmed he this time had used a 6581 over his preferred chip for producing the music.)

Holy crap! In the thumbnail for this video, I thought that SURELY the Cheshire Cat was superimposed over the C64's output. I swear it looks 16-bit! Amazing job on the bitmapping, guys. Really impressive. I always wished that game companies would hire demo makers-then we would've had some mindblowing games...

But the C64 can't draw actual bitmaps... The closest thing it has is fully customizable charsets. 2 colors per character on high-res mode, 4 colors per character on low-res mode

@MarioKart7z -- I don't think that's correct. I think it has a bitmap of the whole screen (even several screens can fit into memory and you can switch between them). Characters with colors are placed on the screen to color the bitmap in the background, if I remember correctly.

I know a little to know that it's a bit of a trick. I know sprites can go in the top and bottom borders, but I didn't know what is possible with side borders. This is why I like watching recordings of demo events, you can get a feel for how technically impressive a trick might be from their reaction. :)
wonderland from 1998 i think was my favourite game of 20th century
The hardware may be limited but the creativity and imagination of the people that learned to love and live this little machine is limitless, each and every demo has new twists to age-old routines and just when you thought you've seen 'em all, change a bit here, shift another one there and voilá a new eye candy is born.
The sound at the end wast amazing... Can`t believe that is a C64, it sound better than many samples I have heard on the Amiga.
I just can't believe this digi is really C64 at the end. Awesome!
*And how could this be? For they are the Kwisatz Haderach!!* ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Seriously, this is one of the best Scene Demoz I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Pretty astounding, the result of many hours of hard & dedicated work. *Well done!* I'm off to share this on my fave IRC...
This belongs in a museum for modern art. This is the best, coolest C64 demo ever made. The soundtrack, the effects, the design. In. credible.
A quick note to future historians, if this is ever achived on a ZX Spectrum, the universe has ended......
This is the future of contemporary art!
Unbelievable!
Truly amazing bit of C64 coding. What an amazing machine it was (and still is)
Fun fact: VICE violently crashed on me after the spinning disco ball tingies part. This demo is so awesome, only the original hardware is worthy of running it. Emulators just explode
Incredible, just when I thought I had seen and heard all the C64 could do. This is fascinating!
Sjees.. I remember writing a digi playback routine what consumed the complete raster time, no room for effects on the screen whatsoever.. not counting writing the digi output to screen & border col as effect ;)
This is what you see when you grind up a floppy disk into powder and snort it.

Great capture. Thank you.
That's what we think now... but next year they'll come up with something even better... Been like that for more than 30 years, never stops :)
This demo is insane!
Demo Non-Stop, My Dear BOB! This was pHun pHun all Da WaY!
the turrets... they are dancing
You programmed the last bit out of the C64. Very nice.
this demo is Amazingk!
an excellent production
Amazing!
Great music and also graphics.. nice design.
Awesome!
😱❤👍👍👍
WONDERful !
This makes a very good addition to the wonderland series. I used to love bobs party rants in the scrollers in the single part WLs, but I guess trackmos won...
Amazing what such a little great computer is still capable of :)) impressing and mindblowing sound demo, fantas revolution with real 4 channel sample playback and Censor with 16bit omg.. The should coop!
boing!! bumm tschack!
Better than ad lib.
bloody ripper.
Cool
Music non stop!
i can heard it too!by the way this demo is Great!!
OMG! 6502 1mhz amezes even in 2013!
This is so good, but one of the instruments hurts my ears with headphones :x it might be the recording, or just me.
Sound Playback amazing...
icredimple mechine for a 8 bit!! and good music sidddddddddddddddddddddddd
GREAT WORK!!! upload the demo's disk. i want it.
0:01 mark zuckerberg and happy new year 2018... WO SID.
Superb addition to the Wonderland series. I love that you can hear the carrier in the digi. Proves it's for real. Mind Blown. Pieces everywhere. 2021 out.
The whole demo is incredible but music wise how in hell they loaded so much digital samples in 64k???

in a nutshell they load data asynchronously while the remaining code playback's the demo :)
somebody tell that cat they got too much teeth
Hey, limits, erm...any limits?
20 years is nothing should have won
What should be coonfiguration of C-64 to play this awesome demo. I bet C-64 from store shelf can't handle it.
Absolutely jaw dropping! Anyone who has ever programmed a 64 in the 1980'ies knows what I mean. Imagine you had seen this demonstration in your local computer shop in 1982: "Yeah, we got this new thing in from America. Pretty cool with 64K memory and all. Hey, it even has a tape recorder! How about it, Slick?"
dont know, after a minute i seem to have seen enough..but theres still so much i want.. at least that what i think. i want to have everything that i REALLY like. but i dont seem to like what i really like , why does these awful feelings exist? i wanna have pleasure in my life i think.
use the the name of the demo, if anyone wants it.
csdb has the d64 disk... google it !
does this work on NTSC C64s?

Gio M While I've never tried it on mine, I can just about guarantee it won't work on a non PAL C64. Modern C64 demos are timed to PAL clockings and usually you'll only get music at best here in NTSC land.
You judge that from a youtube video?
While I still enjoy this demo production (trust me, it's one of the best of the series by far), I came to a realisation that Magnar here tried way too hard to be the next EoD in the musical department. Why do I bring that demo up? Well, firstly, both Dane/BD and Magnar released snippits of the soundtrack in the music compos before their groups' big projects. Secondly, Magnar tried to make a lead melody as catchy as it can be, just like how Dane made it. *Dane VS Magnar* *|* *HCL VS Bob* *|* *3-ON-3 DEATH BATTLE!* *Jailbird VS Mirage* *|*
snore
Why do people write demos on the modern PC and use the the colours and resolution of the c64 and PRETEND there on the C64? If you look at some of the pixels on the cat there smaller than the c64 pixels should be.
