C64 Demos: (INSANE TOP C64 DEMO) Wonderland 12 von Censor Design 08/2013 

It is called assembly programming - just google it!

Then you need to check out Wonderland 13. Good luck picking your jaw off the floor. You were warned. ;)

This is modern thing 2013

The Digi-Capabilities of the SID weren't actualy all that outstanding. Even back then, Audio-DACs weren't all that expensive. What makes this demo so great is the fact that they managed to get real crystal clear audio eventhough the VIC2-Chip stops and blocks the CPU and databus many times a second to render the bitmap/characters on the screen - which negativly effects the playback quality of the digi-sounds. Thats why many digi-players usualy turn off screen rendering during playback.....

​@@monarch73 Availability ... Compare how much people for example had a Philips TDA1540 or an E-mu Emulator II or access to technology/instruments suitable for the stage (me:P) in 1984-1988 [1], versus millions of kids who got in contact with the concept of audio synthesis BECAUSE of the home-computer revolution of that time. You are joking, aren't you?! Because otherwise you're sitting on a pretty high horse. Your view is in no way consistent with historical reality. It seems to me rather glorified and defiant, maybe even boastful? Anyway, I think the same with the rest of your comment, great handiwork on display here. But your first two sentences are untenable and demonstrably stupid! Sorry, but they are:) [1] Hey, and who would've guessed it, those people ACTIVELY bought it or had a reason to do so and KNEW about such devices.

@@dieSpinnt Ich überlege jetzt schon seit Tagen, an welcher Stelle ich in den zwei Sätzen "boastful" gewesen sein soll. Ein DAC besteht in der Regel aus einem Bündel Spannungsteiler (eine Hand voll Widerstände) und einem Impedanzwandler (simpler Op-Amp). Webseiten, die sich mit dem Aufbau eines DACs beschäftigen, gibt es zu genüge! Das ist keine teure Hardware. Auch damals nicht! Was wirklich teuer war, war die Peripherie, die nötig war, um eine saubere Widergabe zu gewährleisten. Das Problem aus jener Zeit saubere, klare Samples widerzugeben besteht einzig und allein aus der begrenzen Speicherkapazität der Systeme und dem Timing. Sampledaten müssen gleichmässig zum DAC übermittelt werden, um sauber zu klingen. RAM war teuer und CPUs mussten ein sehr genaues Timing einhalten, konnten also sonst nichts anderes machen.

Yeah - its more than amazing :) thx for your command.

They did rule the world for a minute.

Had mine around 1991 ......

They had something even better than this, the Amiga. Unfortunately they just didn't know how to rule the world even with the keys in their hands.

@@CardiacCat The open standard won. IBM accidentally created a monster they could not control. Their boring business machines with PC-speakers and awful monochrome and CGA colors slowly morphed into gaming machines from the sheer pressure of third party hardware developers adding VGA, sound cards, better CPUs, CDROMs, flight sticks, joysticks and all manner of widgets, most of which were kind of trash. When they released the PS/2 to try and lock things down again into a proprietary standard they could control it was already too late. IBM PCs was a joke until about 1990; by 1992 they had caught up and surpassed Amiga in *software* without hardware acceleration or a BLIT and 3D games really didn't benefit much from a BLIT anyway. 1992 had Ultima underworld; a game so bizarrely ahead of its time that it was like time traveling aliens made a game for the 386DX. And Wolfenstein 3D of course. Next year came Doom. Commodore had two major problems. They iterated so slowly and stayed on the same basic hardware so long that when they finally released anything substantively better most people just went "meh" and kept buying games for, developing games for and using the Amiga 500. They could not benefit from the "throw shit at a wall and see what sticks" approach of having thousands of hardware companies making all manner of weird hardware to chart the way; just seeing what works and gets adopted.

Yes its INSANE !

Thats true :)

This is some kind of black magic sorcery. lol

Yes - but it would be a lie. Just as when you go home with a chinese woman from a bar and discovers it was all make-up. I.e. fakery all the way.

YES !!!

I''ve heard rumors they took the inside of an amiga and glued it into a C64 to make you believe it was a C64?

Thx :)

Never ever :)

@@retrobulle718 lolz

Terrible idea 😮

I first had a VIC 20, then after three months I bought the C64 :)

it runs from a datasette, and just plays the tune from tape

I have no memary card, sorry :)

Mit Vice lief das einwandfrei. Auf orig. C64 Hardware mit Standart-SID wohl eher nicht.

JA LÄUFT AUF ORGINAL

Läuft auf original hardware

@@thomassauer27.75 jepp :)

Please write yote Commabnd in German or English. I don't understand your language !

Yes I heard about. But back then we had long loading times. That's exactly the feeling I want to convey. Feel free to skip the videos if it bothers you :)

kraftwerk?

Yes. Kraftwerk - boing boom tschaak / musique non stop

Ich sage nur SID-Power :)

Au ja, die Demo habe ich auf meinem Kanal :) Die ist mal Hammer gut!

What else :) C64 rules

Genau. Unfassbar gut :)

It is :)

Au ja, wem sagst du das. Immer wenn ich am C64 sitze kommen Erinnerungen hoch. Und die geniesse ich einfach ausgiebig :)

@@retrobulle718 Damals gab es noch Trinity of Agile, die haben auch coole Demos gemacht.

Danke für den Hinweis. die schaue ich mir doch glatt mal an :)
