Good stuff!
Great work, great pace. Congratulation to all participants!
solid demo
A serious enhancement over Wake Up ! Lots of content, great graphics and a music that never gets boring. I particularly enjoyed the "Kefrens Bars" that go left and right, it's very well thought and unusual (because with CRTC FXs we tend to format our minds to "horizontal" and/or "vertical" FXs). Overall I'm very pleased to retrieve back the people behind the original Wake Up demo (it was 10 years ago!) ; I consider this "Can Robots Take Control ?" like a very great sequel.
Wow, what a blast! There are at least two new never been done soft effects there (tunnel with camera panning, amiga style feedback zoom) and some improvements of old (colorful 3d city). Long time to see a CPC demo of this size that I truly enjoy for it's effects.
Seriously impressive stuff!
About never before done effects, I forgot the zooming checkerboards (we were talking about it, I never sat down to do it, I was lazy :) and slanded rasters and maybe more, I need to rewatch on real CPC.
nice
Thanks Optimus. Regarding soft/hard effects, there is no barrier un this demo. K guess all effects mix them. There is line to line splitting to replicate the pixels in the tunnel and chaoszoomer for example. Chessboard is almost the same code than the zooming plasma, a mix of line to line address change and data copying
Very nice prod, congrats to the team !
Congratulations Bnd & Aks ! I love it !
Great cpc demo!

very nice !
ace!
Awesome CPC things and the name is a homage to CRTC :D
Impressive! I liked yet that fast drawn catart. Tune was brilliant and lovely graphics. It's hard to say what i prefered, all parts were awesome, and very sharp pixels. But damn that chessboard was yummy. Congrats to Benediction and Arkos! PS: I love how the demo wrap, excellent lol!! :)
Finally, Krusty did it! Very happy to see this project released... Stunning tunnel and chaoszoomer, lot of work on transitions and general flow! Congrat to the team!
awesome CPC wizardy :D
Sweet prod, many cool effects and lovely colors.
Great production and cute graphics and effects, nice music too... well done Benediction and co.
new FX for CPC and very nice enhanced mode 1 GFX. Great production!
Awesome production, some screens look rather amigaesque, mad props to all involved. You keep the CPC spirit alive!
Very nice!
Ca manque de robots tout ca...
Very nice production, despite the crual lake of robots :-). Happy to see that Eliot is still working on his CPC !

Massive prod with a lot of work inside! It ruled the compo! Congratulations to whole team!
Runs great on real hardware. Very enjoyable, cool graphics and music. Thanks!
Superb demo.
Nice production with great presentation! Particularly like the tunnel panning; v Amiga-ish!
Bit chaotic but very solid demo. Like it
Congratulation for 2nd place Oldskool.
Pretty amazing.
Excellent demo! Great design and effects. Good stuff!
Awesome stuff, awesome. Great demo for an underrated and underused system in the demoscene. Keep it up!
Nice!
Super nice! One of the best CPC demos ever. I really thought this was going to win.
Fun!
I feel like Amstrad had so much unused potential back in the days. Great demo and lovely "game like" graphics in there.
Oh, and special kuds for the transparent kefrens bars! .. I mean alcatraz bars
i really liked this one
Lovely colors, graphics and music, too! The skewed kefrens bars look great indeed, so does the city scene
really reall nice! love the revisited kefrens bars!
Always thumb up Amstrad CPC productions!
I enjoyed this a lot, can't wait to try on real hw.
Definitely.
Amazing, guys! deserved to win first place imo.
Cool
Really impressive ! CPC Rulez !
Absolutely amazing, would have won if d-zero wasn't there!
Yep
Yummy! Deserved winner, another great CPC prod.
Great demo with very cool fx and design. Special thanks to Targhan for the music !
Awesome !
like flying in a 1st class, great demo!
Great prod, some very impressive effects. Congrats to the team, you guys did an amazing job.
nice one
so great
Yep
Nice demo! Some very well done effects. Great pictures as well.
nice pacing, superb fx, extremely excellent music
Really nice demo ! Congrats guys.
just got a preview for a fixed version from krusty because the party release has the tendency to crash when loading the next part or shows some corrupted graphics on my trusty CPC 6128
so finally i could watch it in full beauty on the real machine:
some parts are outstanding, i really love it!

ThumbUp.
Bravo, ça claque
rocks it.
You can find the final version here: https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2021/revision21/oldskool-demo/crtc_final.zip
There are not much changes:
- sound and/or crtc transition glitches depending on your CPC version are still there
- greetings logo has been updated
- one logo screen has a palette change
However, we have made some modifications regarding the disk support
- better synchronization with the music for fast drives
- fewer crashes when loading
- 3"5 disc only uses one side; you can still use the one of our previous demos ;)
- 3" disc version has been added; you can then watch the demo on a bare CPC ! WARNING there is no turn disc support. You have to manually flip the disc during the rotating 3d scene and during the display of the very last logo
- m4-cpcwifi version has been added; there are two limitations: there is a sound glitch when loading files, the demo does not loop

As I had very few free-time during this long project, Krusty and Voxfreax did most of the work. I had only the time to code the intro with blocks and the rasterized Mode 1 soldier.
Congratulations to them for having the faith to finish it and thanks to Targhan for his wonderful musical track!

Congratulations for being nominated for the Meteoriks 2022 awards!
Thanks, BSC. This is a great news, whatever will be the final result. Happy to promote the CPC demos to a larger audience
Fantastico! The design, the flow, the music, the sync, the effects, the enhanced art, the cat art!
One of the very best CPC demo. Benediction took control. What a pleasure.
Thanks and congrats.

How could I miss the best Amstrad demo from 2021 ?
Best part for me : reversed bars upside-down ! Love those gorgeous colors at greetings parts (and robot scene after zooming plasma). Details I really appreciated : demo which loops back to cat'art, also the way screen is deconstructed at run. Definitely a solid demo which enlights (and sounds) the Amstrad CPC. What I did not enjoy? most of logos (inc. those with triangles chars), also some gfx and parts (inc. plasma) with pastel palette (Amstrad can be so shiny...), remaining #ED #FF (lol).

The tune!
Introducing new fx, surprising variations of classic fx like it's nothing.
