@sim, Devilmarkus, all
This is a demo - not a POC for a game. A game with such quality (on sound and parallax scrollings) is not possible.
Part of the demo is cheating.
Think about it: a small one-screen intro... on a 512KB cardridge!?
As the best example, all played notes from the original MOD were generated and saved to rom: 368KB!
More than 1/3 of cputime during the show is spent by copying samples from rom to ram to be played.
Others cheats are: 52KB (out of 64KB) ram dedicated to screen (incl. 16KB just for the small wall scroll at bottom),
generated code in rom for balloons and moon, generated code for delta-packing animations in sprite,...
512KB were full quickly!
Part of the demo is not cheating.
From the nfo: promote Amstrad GX4000 as one of the most powerful 8bit platforms.
That's it: GX4000 is just too powerful! ;)
There's no cheat there, I'm using standard features from the hardware:
* dma-AY on 3 channels
* 4096 colors - palette: 16 for background + 15 for sprites
* colorful sprites - which are zoom-able (watch those trees)
* 1-pixel H/V scroll
* splitscreens & programmable scanline interruptions
From the nfo again: that's an easy job to show that GX4000 is not the crap most of people were lauhging at. - isokadded on the 2017-11-13 09:17:59
- demo Atari ST Glokzilla by MJJ Prod [web]
- The show was much better on CRT monitor than darkened by projector during the compo! especially for the dots parts - since gfx and music were unarguably great - even at 3am ;)

- demo Amstrad Plus CRTC³ by Flower Corp. & Futurs [web] & X-men
- What others already said! (MacDeath) define the Amstrad+ future expectations, (krusty) watch on real hardware, (T&J) great tunes from Zik ...
I may add: hey! this is the very first demo (I mean: multi-part, not an intro) from Roud' on Amstrad! Great job!
Also: you know how happy I was to release together at same party. :) - rulezadded on the 2017-11-12 19:18:39
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Zener Drive by Altair
- Definitely my kind of trick (cycling animation + progressive build) - rhumb up for this. Tech music and modern/glitchy design? not my taste - just my taste.

- demo Amstrad CPC Bloc Us ! by benediction [web] & Brainstorm [web]
- Missing thumb (thanks roud'!).
Actually this "thumb up" goes to the most active demo-group on Amstrad CPC since 2000. Respect. - rulezadded on the 2017-10-06 11:03:56
- demo Amstrad Plus Hate Beats by ukonx [web]
- Missing thumb (thanks roud'!).
Great sound and soundtrack. Inspiring code also - generating 8kHZ samples on-the-fly. Thanks! also for samples-to-AY conversion table. - rulezadded on the 2017-10-06 10:59:47

- demo SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Masiaka by Resistance [web]
- Suprising. As others said: lot of work on all fronts, good old times feeling, platform - enough to thumb up. Not my style of - but entertaining.

- demo Atari ST Execution by SMFX
- Ouch! even better than Pulse. More and better(?) fx, more great gfx, some exquisite synced transitions. Also nice to see the pulse again on the first scenes. Might be my own fav' 16bit demo for 2017.

- demo ZX Spectrum Ancient runes by Q-Bone
- Looks like "Ancient runes 40%" ;) Still worth a thumb: 2 nice fx mixed with 2 nice gfx.
