Type-in from the March 1989 issue of 'Amstrad Action'.
Program is Listed at end of video.

From Amstrad Action ( @ CPCRulez):
"This RSX command from CHRIS SPIROTIS, who resides in Alexandroupolis, turns the CPC's ordinary mono text into a speckled piebald collage. To switch it on, run the program and type | FONT.ON. Inks 1,2 and 3 are used to fill all text printed from now on, with ink 0 as the background as usual. Some unusual effects are possible -like camouflaged text! To turn off the RSX, simply type | FONT.OFF."

Not emulated - original hardware and software.
Please note that  the aspect ratio for this YouTube video is 16:9 but the CPC monitor
has an aspect ratio of 4:3 so you may wish to adjust your viewing device accordingly.

What I never liked about the machine code type ins was, that you couldn't learn from them. At least for these tools they should have added the assembler source.

Good point.
I typed in a few of the 10 liners back in the day but the minute one of these came into sight I turned the page immediately ;D

Great comment. This always used to put me off as well, even though in the end I'd take turns with a friend typing them in, probably...
