Hi guys,

A couple of days ago, Backtothecode (please check out his blog here) pointed me towards a demo that was made for the Amstrad CPC. The demo is called Batman Forever and was made by Batman Group. I was completely amazed when I saw it for the first time, so I felt I had to share it with you as soon as possible. This production was released at the Forever 2011 demo party. Thanks to Backtothecode for the tip!

The requirements for this demo is an Amstrad CPC with 128 KB of memory and a floppy drive.

A video of the demo running is available on YouTube, but I’ve embedded it below for you. Enjoy the show!

Isn’t that impressive for an Amstrad?

Last year I had an opportunity to see this on a real hardware. It was Silly Venture, an Atari event actually If you’re interested, here is my report (blog is in Polish, so I linked to Google translator):

Well deserved. The demoscene, as I understand it, is about moving the boundaries and explore.

Amazing what some people can still achieve on classic hardware.

  It’s magic. At least it looks that way to me.
