Hi Peeps
Hi there
Had no idea something like this existed !
I was a swapper working with TransX of Scouse Cracking Group, and swapped on a weekly basis with Laffen of Raw Deal Inc.
One of my fondest memories of that time was going to the Commodore Show at Earls Court in London. Some how found a free 64' with a working disk drive, and got out my discs I had brought :)
Loaded up the newly released demo of Time Crystals, which at the time was simply the best Gfx done on the 64. A crowd quickly sprang up, and various people from cracking groups all took turns loading up their new demos :)
ah them were the days :)

Ah the Commodore and PCW shows... those were the days, especially the I.C.C. stand since they let us load demos up too. =-) |

Damn, I forgot all about Time Crystals. I remember being completely floored by that at the time. Was that ever made into a game or did it just die in the lab as a tech demo? I'm going try and find it right now. Thanks for reminding me about it. |

Time Crystals was an really nice demo with good grafix.
I remember,that there was no intro infront of this demo.
No credits,or??

Time Crystal was created by Jim Sachs, who also created the small c64 game Saucer Attack.
He also did the graphics for Defender of the Crown on the Amiga, a bit of widely distributed art on the Amiga (the red porsche being one of the first I saw), and did the GUI for the CDTV.
He's probably more widely known now for creating that 3D SereneScreen Aquarium screensaver - http://www.fish-byte.com/
Time Crystal and Saucer Attack both really showed that something impressive can be made with the c64 without going crazy with techy coding. Great stuff. |
