A new chapter begins. Away from the flickering screens of the retro gaming world, towards the soothing haptic experience of the card game KeyForge. It used to be Pong, Donkey Kong and the Commodore 64 that fascinated me - now it's a leisurely round of cards.

Back in '93, when I was just a 12-year-old, I finally got my hands on a C64C. Those colorful intros and cracktros? They blew my mind every time! I spent hours glued to the manual, playing around with BASIC, basic sprites and music, trying to unravel the secrets behind those fast-moving, rainbow-colored artworks How on earth did people back then even begin to code all that cool stuff? But seriously, not a single mention of Assembler or Machine code in there! How could a young enthusiast even know or have access to those dev tools like Simon Basic cartridges, or get the hands on assembly books for dummies? I have yet to understand why Commodore intentionally missed that while pushing only the BASIC for educational purposes. They could've thrown in a built-in monitor just wasting a few Kbytes or at least writing some sparse notions about the possibility of advanced programming at the end of the manual, especially with the C64C coming out much later. Well, the answer to this is "those were the times" I guess? Nowadays, a kid could just Google "how to make a game" and have unlimited free documentation at their fingertips. Sorry for the long rant, I would have loved back then to dive in this whole new dimension of digital art :)
Big Story, thanx for share, i feel it...
Paul Young one of the most beautiful song on the end
:)
oh yes \o/
Well, let's see how that unfolds.... It will be fascinating...
Imagine if these advanced demos were already made in 1983. That would have made the C64 even more popular & possibly made more money, because these were in the days before the Amiga, C128 & the Multimedia PC. And these C64 demos would have showed off the bigger possibilities of sound & graphics back then, when they were still relatively simpler. Even the C64 demos from the 1990's would have been shocking in 1983. Luckily I still have my original C64, bought in 1983, plus a couple more I acquired later on. 04/08/24
Correct, that would have changed a lot. And yes, I love my C64C, which is still active next to me.
Great ❤
Wow.
Really disappointed that the letters didn't go behind the loop. Come on
Sometimes these things happen, but it's good that you noticed :)
@@Papierzeit :D
this is incredible...still plenty of life left in the old 64.
been looking at a few demos and they're pretty awesome they're way more impressive than all of the original games released granted cause people have taken years to learn how to compress good coding down. but do people release games of this quality now that people know how to use these computers in amazing ways?
Yes, there are some new C64 games that utilize the potential of the C64 to the fullest. For example A Pig Quest by Protovision, or the incredible Eye of the Beholder.
yep those look pretty damn amazing thanks for sharing
is the screen moving or is that just my eyes from watching that scrolling text for so long?
Good music, first 3 minutes sounds like from Last Ninja III :)
\o/ a good time is always good...
What? no really what, and how, like what?!?!?!?
Oh yes, that's how it is, the good mix.

Old computers do more and more all the time. Modern computers do less and less all the time.
A good statement :)
modernity trying to be less and less impressive is stupid. I find it mindblowing what people can do with limited resources on old computers
@@XYZB0RG a nice comment, oh yes.
🧡💛💚💙💜🤎Hmmm Nice Demo...! I am 💯impressed with this demo, so i made same thing and upload it on my channel. 😉
Long live demo scene, that keeps alive the spirit of resources management, in comparison to modern coders using frameworks for 1MB hello-worlds.
\o/
Merry Christmas to you too! So nice memories, seeing that fairlight logo again...
\o/
Ich finde diese Demo nicht auf der CSDB kannst du mir bitte den Link geben wo man es runter laden kann? Danke und dir schöne Feiertage;)
Ist id=133937 :)
ok und wo muss ich die id eingeben? Sorry steh aufn schlauch. @@Papierzeit
@@Enrico_1985 du gehst einfach auf die Seite, wählst irgend ein Programm oder Demo aus und tauscht dann oben in der URL Zeile die Zahl aus. Fertig :)
Danke für deine Hilfe habs gefunden;)@@Papierzeit
Gerne @@Enrico_1985
Sued by Nintendo in 5, 4, 3...
hi hi hi...
Thank you as always and Merry Christmas!
\o/
I wish everyone a peaceful, happy, relaxing time together. Enjoy it.
Maybe it just me but I find these modern C64 demos really boring.
The question now is, what did the old demos do better, I'm curious...
9:04 Wait hold on, is that Monophono without samples?
The turning 3D-block scroller and the spiral scroller ("if you think this is an ordinary...") are in my personal best-of of all times.
If this demo were to be presented in the mid of 1980s, no one would buy any personal computer but c64. This demo is insanely amazing.
Awesome Barbie.. molto molto molto meglio del film ;-)
Uau this is great! so funny hihi. well if im to be honest,er, once i asked my parents to buy me a girl doll ,on vacations somewhere in france.but that only happened once 😅
BUT it happened, hi hi hi :)
@@Papierzeityes,i admit ,but there was no gi joe or action force toys for boys in that little store, so im kinda excused..🙈
Sure@@andrecondesso8057 that's more than just an excuse, you also have to look at alternatives, its fair.
@@Papierzeit ✌🏼😊
hach :D
oh ja :)
Ok I admit it, I also played with Ken and Barbie in my past, but that was a very short phase in my childhood of a few days... What about you?
I only drink mineral water and never eat animals of any sort. (Future generation)
The future writes that these seaweeds should also be good...
L'idea del QR Code per scaricare la demo... SEMPLICEMENTE GENIALE!
\o/
Please drink more water, for reasons... or what is your favorite drink?
You're doing great work
Extremst geilo ❤ Aber bei FLT ja eh klar 😉
FLT oh ja :)
Was für ne Hammer Demo wieder mal von Fairlight;) Danke dir fürs Zeigen.
Gerne :)
Thanks for posting your capture from the winning entry at our party. I'm feeling watched...
Good observations are important :)
intense eyes, reminds me of Sonny Chiba in the Revenje of Shinobi game, taken from the Ninja wars film
Oh yeah I played that game so many times on my Mega Drive back then it was hard but it was a really good game.
Cool demo! I like the track 😎😎
