Bloids1k by Optimus (Dirty Minds) is a 1 Kb demo (1 effect, no sound) release for the Euskal Party 18 in July 2010.

You will be able to read the Break Point 2010 report by Hicks on CPCScene. It's a demo meeting in Germany where the Amstrad CPC was present :

• demo : From Scratch by Vanity, got 3rd spot (public choice category),
• music : Fairy by Zik (Futurs), a music played with an alpha version of a SID player, got 11th spot,
• freestyle graphism : Soleil Vert by Supersly (les sucres en morceaux), got 13th spot.

You can download Soleil vert by Supersly (les sucres en morceaux), a graphic made for the Breakpoint 2010 meeting. By the way, Soleil vert is the french name of the science-fiction film Solyent Green with Charlton Heston in 1973. A very good film, I recommend seing it if you didnt yet.

This picture uses flipping to get 31 shades of green (CT65 monitor).

CPC-Power is the Amstrad program database made by (but not only) Kukulcan and Loïc Daneels. You will find there databases of games, archives (documents like the documentation of CPC), Gamebase CPC, ads, and lately they added an Amstrad CPC demos database. One future feature for this site is to add the demos to my own database, but I will have to find the time for this.

XMAS 2009 is an intro by CMP (code), DevilMarkus (graphism) et Hermol (music conversion).

I am sad to say that NoRecess hasnt been always faithful to the Amstrad CPC, he has also made a demo in 2007 for the Sony PSP : Recession maxidemo.

Sappy is a french Amstrad CPC+ demo by the Semilanceata group, released in January 2007.

You can see a video of Sappy on Google Video.

From Scratch is a french Amstrad CPC demo by the Vanity demo group (Hicks and Beb) with sound by Tom & Jerry, a 6 mn multipart demo needing a CRTC 1 to run due to hardware tricks, also disable "Plus PPI emulation" if used with the WinAPE emulator (Go Settings then General).

Though you can see a video of From Scratch on Youtube, it will be better to use a real Amstrad CPC or an emulator.

Allergy is a french Amstrad CPC+ demo by Semilanceata.

You can see a video of Allergy on Youtube, but it's better to use a real Amstrad CPC or an emulator.
