Sam Can Do It Too! - Sam Coupe demo

[@inphanta]

I was always intrigued by this enigmatic little machine. It was like a hybrid of the Spectrum and Atari ST. I've never ever seen one in the flesh either.

The more I learn about the machine having 16 videorams over the 512k (or even I think 32 if in Spectrum videomode), the more I understand how some of these effects are possible.

[@sirdavid8919]

There are still 16 videorams in Spectrum videomode. Videoram in any mode has to begin on even memory page.

@@sirdavid8919 Ahh,. I hoped there would be more. I was testing some code, and thought I could get more, but maybe I don't recall well.

Perfect graphic effects. Excellent demo, thanks!

Nice!

[@SelfIndulgentGamer]

As previous post suggested. The sam was supposed to have been the successor to the speccy. I wanted one but couldn't afford it . shame really . It's a nice little machine :)
