Amstrad CPC in german television / Revision 2011 scene party
28 April 2011, 10:00 pm

The Revision demoscene party took place in Saarbrücken / Germany  during easter 2011. On 26th April, a report about the Revision was aired in the TV programme "Aktueller Bericht" of the SR (Saarländischer Rundfunk). The best about the report is, that the Amstrad was mentioned first and you will see scenes of the Batman Forever demo. Btw, the two guys in front of their CPCs are Eliot and Toms...

I embedded the video directly in the posting, but is not visible here. Go to my page and you will only see the video about the Revision 2011 .

They call Amstrad, not Schneider! Very interesting...

[Octoate]

Small update - it wasn't Toms it was Hicks. I always confound them ...

They call Amstrad, not Schneider! Very interesting...

Perhaps because the german Wikipedia's page is named Amstrad CPC, not Schneider CPC...

[Ythcal]

Schneider distributed the CPC as "Schneider CPC" from 1985 to 1988.
1988 and later Amstrad distributed it itself as "Amstrad CPC" in Germany.
One of the biggest German CPC-magazines changed its name from "PC Schneider International" to "PC Amstrad International" the same year. So the name Amstrad was well known :-)

Ha! They talked with Eliot & Hicks, they told them ;-)

[Sykobee (Briggsy)]

Good stuff :-)

I can only imagine how sneery the news report would be if done in the UK...

[TFM]

That would be a pity, since the UK has a long history of making computers.

[MacDeath]

Yeah but journalist can be such a bunch of lazy douchebags sometimes...

In France they wouldn't even have talked about the Amstrad or even computers but only Nintendo.

A party-report in french (intro and end) and english (party itself) has been written by Beb/Vanity :

The event was really great and I advise every people wanting to promote CPC to go to this kind of big events!
