Interesting Discs I made in the 80s & 90s

[zhulien]

Here are some sound sample discs I made in the early 90s.  Enjoy them in either winape, or on a Real CPC with an AMDRUM or sound card that emulates an AMDRUM like the Llamdaspeak or Symbiface 3.

Has anyone tried to make a 3d game on CPC before using wireframe and the crosseyed method?

[zhulien]

Musics ripped from games and a few demos... Weee is the best!

How come we don't have music compilations for CPC that run from mass storage on CPC - like the high volage SID collection, but CPC version.

My first ever games...

2PLYRLC - 2 Player Laser Cycles
BOUBLE - Bouble Trouble (with speech)
D-ZONE - Danger Zone (with dynamicaly changing speech)
FLEET - Game that never really got started
KRACKIT! - This is really my first ever game, not sure why it doesn't work right on WinApe
KRACKIT2 - Better version, really is a sequel
LCIMPP1 - Laser Cycles Improved
LCPART1 - Laser Cycles Part 1 (not sure what the difference is)
LCPART2 - Laser Cycles Part 2, much better, my programming skills got better in a few weeks
N&X - Naughts & Crosses, my first game with sprites and some AI
ROBOT - can't remember, looks like it might be using laserbasic or similar
S-LORDS - Space Lords, crappy conversion of BBC game, yuk, look at that BASIC code
SPACE - can't remember, looks like it might be using laserbasic or similar
STARMAIN - part of starfleet
TRONN - Laser Cycles (with speech by my hischool friend Craig)

For those who play D&D, this is the only D&D tool I know of for CPC?  It could be so much better these days, but sometimes my friend and I would use this program as the actual dungeon master.  From memory I had a way to create characters randomly outside of this program too but so far haven't found that character generator.

Some graphics I converted from Amiga, a friend of mine coded a utility in AMOS that allowed different methods of maching IFF images to CPC pallets (Colour and Green)

CP.BAS is for colour monitors
GGIRLS.BAS and SPACE.BAS are for green or greyscale monitors

Nice little games. TRONN with speech samples is a good game. But very hard...

Thanks. Those games for most part was me learning to program, I guess we never stop learning but I mean getting the grasp of logic.  That time I stayed over at my friend Craigs house and his big brother Kevin was giving me tips how to do things and I would code it.  Thats is why so many variants of the same thing, as I learned a bit more I wanted to make it a bit better.  Craig had a vic20, his brother Kevin a ZX Spectrum, and I had a CPC464 with green screen.  It was my portable, id put the 464 and monitor in a sleeping bag and ride my motorbike to my friends with it - I was 15 at the time, so safety is never a thought.

YouTube giveth and YouTube taketh away.....

So, "three strikes and you're out" is alive and well at YouTube.....
If any of my videos featured nudity I gave them the 18+ restriction, or indeed YT did that itself occasionally.

But without warning (no previous strikes!) I was sent an email stating that I had contravened the YT Community Guidelines and my channel was cancelled. I appealed, asking for examples, but the appeal was turned down.

So a major pain in the arse but I've always known that this was a possibility.

Anyway I have all the original videos and there is always Vimeo and Dailymotion......

[zhulien]

errr, those 5 images didn't have nudity - well it has nude faces i guess 

[roudoudou]

if you still have all original videos, please sort them before upload or make some playlists!

I'd already started creating playlists (5 up to now with another 3 or 4 sometime in the future) on YT when this happened.

Hello,

The video is private, can you change paramaters to public view ? Thanks 😉

This sucks so much!
I have no idea how this is possible with these 80ies pixel graphics...
Good, that you still have all the nice videos and seem to take it easy. I really like your mission to make videos of everything ever existed on the CPC, even the small things.

I agree with you 100% - any "problematic" videos should be highlighted individually & immediately to the YT channel administrator (IE me) with the option to delete them or to proceed at your own risk.
As I gradually (and slowly) upload the videos I've already made to Dailymotion I'll avoid most of those lovely French slideshows full of ladies.
Yes even the "small things" - the CPC was a 1st class (all round) home computer and there should be a record of the software that was/is available for it.
Bah Humbug!

Come on guys... What do you expect from a company, based in a country where "some people" seriously are considering Michelangelo as porn...

Which ones?
I may be able to prioritize them, and if so provide new links.

And apologies to you zhulien for "hijacking" your thread.
