I dread to think how much energy and effort is wasted shipping these items back and forth when someone buys something online and then returns it.
It's worse than that — a lot of returned stuff ends up in landfill because it's not worth the cost of re-stocking it.
Nice! Just looked you guys up on Pouet, and although I definitely remember the name from back then I don't really recall having seen any of the demos unfortunately.
This is most of my crap FWIW. A few mediocre sample demos of my own in there :D
From the video it's running on a CPC 6128 — IIRC (40 years ago, now) the original 1984 model, the 464, was 64kB RAM and a tape deck (which is what I had) and then the 664 came out the next year with 64kB and a built in 3" disc drive, and then the 6128 was almost straight after with 128kB RAM and disc drive.
Otherwise there wasn't really any notable difference in the internals — 4MHz Z80 that was effectively slowed down by the video hardware.
Cool demo! I tried a few things like this but I was 12 or 13 at the time and upgraded to an Atari ST in ~1987 so never really got that deep into it. Had to teach myself Z80 assembly and figure out how to program the video memory first, and information was kind of hard to come by back then :D
Edit: just noticed your username... were you an ST kid too?
I'm honestly excited to see Marc back on top. He seemed so happy on the podium in Thailand, like he finally felt like he was where he wanted to be. I was torn last season between knowing he'd do well there and feeling like Jorge got the shaft.
And then yesterday he broke his own 11 year old lap record — clearly Ducati made the right decision.
