The Revision 2013 is over and the Amstrad CPC was represented by Vanity with their new demo “Still Rising”, which won the 2nd place in the Oldskool demo competition. Well, so here are the official results of the Revision 2013 – this time in glorious ASCII art.
The 16th XzentriX meeting, a retro-computing party for old computers and game consoles, will take place from 06.-08.09.2013 in Seeshaupt / Germany. Like every year you can expect that a lot of german Amstrad CPC users will come to this party. If you have time, don’t miss it! You can find more information on the XzentriX homepage and see some photos in the meeting gallery of my page.
Another year is over and so the XzentriX 2012. It was a nice meeting – as always – but only MaV, Mr.AMS and I brought an Amstrad CPC with us, so the CPC was a little bit underrepresented this year. Anyway, a lot of german CPC users were there, e.g. Nurgle, Odiesoft, Brainblaster, Kangaroo, MaV, Nilquader, Mr.AMS and Octoate (myself). Thanks to the great Batman Forever demo, the interest in the CPC was higher this year and maybe we see a Amstrad CPC workshop on the next Vintage Computer Festival Europe (VCFe) in Munich next year.
Kangaroo showed his Pacman clone board game “Whacky Wit“, which is currently in a crowdfunding phase on StartNext (a german crowdfunding platform). The game is great and it makes a lot of fun, so if you want to help him, go over to StartNext and be a fan or buy a part :-).
You can find more pictures from the meeting in the “Meeting Gallery” of this page.

You already saw the news about the releases from the ReSeT #8 which took place in Coutances / France and was organised by Eliot. Now Voxfreax took the time to write a meeting report, which you can read on the Push’n’Pop homepage.
To advertise the ReSeT #8 demoparty in Coutances / France, a small music disc was released, which ranked 2nd on last years ReSeT. It was coded by Eliot / Benediction and features 13 tracks by Factor6 / Hooy Program and graphics by Rex / Beng. You can download it from Push’n’Pop or at the end of this news.
