Depends on how much of a game you can get out of '''turn computer on, type 10 print "hello world", press enter, type 'run', turn computer off'''. But I could do this on CPC, so no need to use Prodatron's typewriter that has this brandname that brings '80s german porn movie' to mind. :D

This is using the conversion tool by Devilmarkus, right? It has very interesting automated toolset indeed. I did some experimenting with using it, trying to convert my own hand-painted images, but the results didn't satisfy me. My painting style is not very friendly towards automated conversion methods (too expressionistic rather than formalistic) and it would need heavy additional pixeling to bring the result to acceptable level. So in the end the conversion process using an automated tool becomes unnecessary.

When you see the Serval picture from the CRTC³ demo (or others pictures using palette update every scanline), there is nothing impressive on Plus with a 12-bit colour-space by doing automatic transfert to 16 colours only.

Hi, 

There is more than 16 colors. Hundred of colors with split rasters ans sprites?

Well, sure. But the goal with any conversion/transfer of an image is the showcase of the technical side anyway. Not at all of the creative side. Some might argue that you also need to have a 'creative eye' when converting an already existing image, but still this is about the technical process, not the creative process (ie you dont have to deal with fundamental elements of creating art, such as theme, composition, forms, intensities and so on).

Even if there's exceptional crafting on a picture conversion, say too much effort put on dithering, colour mixing, the showcase ultimately is about the machine's technical abilities. To take it even further, in cases such as the picture Toto posted that has additional colours on the Plus, I would even say that the real achievement belongs to the coder who can provide the means to make it possible. Who cares about seeing yet another version of a wolverine illustration? But a picture with "3244324343" colours on an 8bit machine? Now that's a thing to talk about!

@rexbeng That is the reason I'm more impressed by original works with standard CPC limitations than transferts (mainly without rework) if there is no technical achievements related to them.

Irrespective of whatever program was used to create or convert the images it is a pleasure to see them on the CPC!

rexbeng

Converted pictures to 8bit computers are lower resolution / fewer colour versions of already existing pictures widely available. So unless someone has a weird fetish of 'only looking at pictures when they run on 8bit machines', those are purely 'lower quality' pictures. As Toto said above, it takes some effort to make converted pictures interesting. CPC has very few of the later.

I dont have "a weird fetish of 'only looking at pictures when they run on 8bit machines' ", I have a weird fetish for seeing these on the CPC only. 
Especially when they are showing me images (and the tools to make them) that I may use in creating my own slideshows in the future. 

rexbeng

Hah! So you do have a weird fetish! I'm totally ok with such an argument; it's very personalized anyway, so it has absolutely no need of 'academic' justifications. :)

And, yes, converting pics for fun can be indeed entertaining and relaxing.

16 colours per scanline and sprites to add sharp details and colours for the eyes, teeth, claws, belt, red dot.

Oh, seems that after the war people will be fighting using sewerage parts and pipes? This is so ugly in just about everything.

Nothing amazing. No rework at all, just an automatic software transfert from the Amiga. Author: ConvImgCPC ?

These Titan pics are getting a bit samey but damn, that original Bionic Commando loading screen absolutely needed replacing.  What a piece of crap it was.

The more amazing CPC picture I can see on this page is the @Carnivius Avatar.

Oh hey thanks.  :) Now you mention it and I looked at it, I saw it's weirdly resized on this site so I've edited it and cropped it (resizing the grey/red box) to 110x110 so it fits the avatar area with no weird scaling issues. :D
