Simply incredible stuff from the humble Spectrum, there are some programming miracle workers out there! thank you so much for compiling this list!

[@axelworfles]

Wow, Void is insanely impressive graphically and in terms of narrative. Incredible that the demoscene continues to blow me away 30 years after having a speccy

[@MODERN_RGN]

Also the programming of games has evolved a lot: ZX SPECTRUM - 25 Modern Games that PUSH THE LIMITS kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoaoZayYpL5ons0

Thank you!

[@coquillettesaugruyere2374]

I can’t believe it’s on a speccy 😜

[@jemmini2]

это не спектрум.

[@lucal7756]

Some effects are absolutely incredible on the Speccy hw! 😳

[@stevebrown1974]

Sir Clive Sinclair would be proud. RIP

[@welshie6313]

This is amazing! Who would have thought the classic Speccy could pull these effects off, 37 years later! (release of the 128K).

[@MODERN_RGN]

Imagine the ZX Spectrum 128k launched with a couple of demonstration tapes with these demos, and Travel Through Time: Northern Lights and Castlevania included as games 😂

[@welshie6313]

@@MODERN_RGN Agreed! I always wished Sinclair had done something better than release the 128K machine. Would have been nice to see a bump in all specs.

[@jesperjohnsen5336]

Ooh this is awesomeness!! 😮the C= machines will allways be my goto, but awesome stuff on display here boys ❤❤❤

[@LoLzZ85]

If only if I had seen this kind of stuff back in 1987. Amazed

[@danielt.8573]

Mescaline synesthesia. The light effects on the golden skull and the effect that produces new colours like pink, orange or grey are awesome. Music's good too.

[@bighairydel]

amaaaaazing for a speccy!!!

[@TheFusedplug]

I'm in awe of the talents these programmers have ..I have a LOT to learn on my new embarkment on "learning to code" I have to at least make ONE game in my life on the Speccy

[@bagofnails6692]

Hi. I can't beleive that you put out multiple videos a day and are not getting that many views. So I am going to set my browser to watch all of your videos.

[@MODERN_RGN]

Thank you very much for your support. Much appreciated! 👍

[@jimmorrison2657]

48:05 I am amazed by this. Are there any tutorials on how to do this (8x1 single line multi color)? Can it be done also on the 48K?

[@feisar_teams]

GENIAL!!!!!💪

[@speedsterh]

Pietr Mondrian would be proud

[@cv643d]

how does the extended palette work and how do they bypass the attribute problems?!

[@MODERN_RGN]

They uses techniques similar to the GigaScreen mode, which you can see in action and read about in the video description here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnTGpXiafK6UedE

[@Rosseboi]

I still have a box of 100 odd spectrum games laying around lol

[@MODERN_RGN]

Some of these might be worth a lot of money today. Check out the new stuff, if you have now already done it: ZX Spectrum - THE BEST GAMES & DEMOS from 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX22fHWMoq95l7c

[@Rosseboi]

@@MODERN_RGN will do. I had no idea there was such a scene!

[@TheFusedplug]

I have not stopped collecting and still use my +2 grey so much nostalgia it's too good to just not be there

[@DavideBarlotti]

Running on emulator or real hardware ? I’m questioning due gigascreen mode don’t have any flickering

[@MODERN_RGN]

This is emulator recordings, but I also have real hardware. If you have ZX-HD or ZX-VGA-JOY and LCD TV / Monitor everything will look just about the same as in this video. For RGB/RF to CRT Mescaline Synesthesia and Paralactika also works fine if I remember correctly, while Tiratok will have flicker. I don't remember Ultraviolet but the rest will work fine with RGB/RF to CRT. About Gigascreen mode: If you have ZX-HD or ZX-VGA-JOY + DivMMC / DivIDE and Bob Fossil's file browser you will have an IMG-player, and can then easily see all the Gigascreen art pictures as slideshow without any flicker.

[@DavideBarlotti]

@@MODERN_RGN understood need have deinterlace circuit similar some board for Amiga 2000. I questioned to figure if you have used a modern Zx Spectrum clone. For your information some lcd monitor can deinterlace automatically the composite signal, see here the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/npy9f32qmpeZkK8

[@MODERN_RGN]

Very cool monitor, then the ZX-VGA-JOY is not necessary. I just checked on real hardware (an original 128k toastrack) and Outerloop (start screen), Mescaline Synesthesia, Paralactika, Ultraviolet (end pictures) and Tiratok will all have some flicker on RGB/RF to CRT, while they will look as in this video on ZX-HD or ZX-VGA-JOY to LCD TV / Monitor ...or with the monitor in your video.

[@kevinmarriott8698]

47:05 - how is this possible? Interlaced??

[@JohnJTraston]

It's probably running on emulator with antiflic on. It's flickering at least 2 or most likely 3 different (r, g, b) frames in reality.

[@MODERN_RGN]

If you have ZX-HD or ZX-VGA-JOY and LCD TV / Monitor it will look the same as in this video. For the old RF/RGB output there will be some flickering.

[@nebo1186]

mmmmmm yesss ... my eeyyyees

[@universalempire818]

What this is awesome

[@Choober65]

I'm seeing colours that the Speccy is NOT supposed to be able to make. WTF?

[@MichaelKrishtopa]

Більше демок богу демок!!!

[@volidol]

Paralactica точно не какой-нибудь zx evo?

[@markpotter8280]

Really cool but imagine the load times if these were made back in the day and the school playground arguments with c64 and amstrad users lol

[@MODERN_RGN]

Most had tape recorder back in the days, but +3 disk and Disciple / +D disk interfaces also became quite popular. Today it is DivMMC / DivIDE devices or just a ZX Spectrum emulator for the PC.

[@markpotter8280]

i remember the tape recorders only to well I had boxes and boxes of C90's full of games and a pencil lol

[@TheFusedplug]

Spectrum 128 rules :) The C64 and Amstrad were saved by the Amiga and ST as the Speccy 128k games scene was smashing the 8 bit market

[@KesieV]

mmmmm yesss ... my eeeaaarrs...
