  The mode 2 resolution

  
  
  Ah!
  Well done. In my defence, I don't have my CTM with me, and I drink far too much decaf coffee.

  I am so biased.

• 32k Amstrad CPC Logon's run - 3D meets the aging bits by Logon System
• While the trend was to use monstrous machines to pre-generate (technical term: vomit) data, this packs all the computation in 22k of awesomeness. It's almost demo-art at its finest.
  Most polished Overflow's demo so far, and it shows. Add to the always technical excellence and cleverness, a lot of details shine here:
  • Music build-up while de-packing.
  • Extreme accuracy and smoothness.
  • Perfect pacing and transition, with nice and astute interludes for pre-computing.
  • Great soundtrack with carefully tuned synchronisation.
  • Dithering + split-rasters that make some screen look more like an Atari ST.
  
  Ageing bits? More like "old man strength".

• I was mainly a guest for this production, so commenting and thumbing as such. So sue me. Figure of speech, don't sue me (*).
  
  Great treat met by sweat threats?
  
  Cute loading logo and first wink (wink nudge nudge).
  I was really impressed by the introduction page. CPC have no hard sprites, folks.
  The mode 2 resolution makes it soooo fluid on the real machine (you may be able to emulate that next decade with 8k screens).
  With the splits record and the splendid logo, that's a good slap in the face.
  Re-re-used game music: call it hommage, appeal to nostalgia, denseness revealer, too bad it's not a pimped re-interpretation like in OSC#1.
  
  Part 2: I almost failed to understand how they did it (that's pretty rare on CPC)! Very clever.
  Very beautiful scroll and bars. Yet, missed opportu(va)nity to do more with them (shaded, perspective, ...). That's not a 4k, guys!
  
  Start of music is a bit trashed. Different portamento handling between in-tool and external player? Soundtrakkker 128 had a similar issue!
  I guess it's only fair, simply karma speaking, as I used to corrupt Shap's tunes.
  
  I believe the OSC bet is fully won: substantiel despite the one-screen constraint, frequent enough to shake the scene.
  OSC#2 also managed to pull up this sweet old-school flavour. Unexpectedly more successful than planned? It's even including the drama!
  I wonder whether people overreact because they have too few problems in their life, or too many?
  I'd love to see technical overreactions, over-technical reactions, aka "make a demo about it".
  
  Take care, doesn't sweat the small things, and as some Logon member used to say: take it easy!
  
  (*) On the other hand, now I'm eager to see the result of the trial. "Snarky demo-comments every two years considered proto-cyber-bullying. 14 years of prison required".

  Amstrad Plus -> Septembre 1990.
  Practical PC & tools to do that -> ??? but certainly not 80's :)
  
  It would have ruled harder in 1650.
