This week will be all in PETSCII, the colourful ASCII-version used by Commodore’s 8-bit computers. We’ve worked a lot with PETSCII the past two years ourselves, doing things like 2SLEEP1 (ambient), Oso (eerie) and live performances.
The images above are from old posts we’ve made, see more at http://text-mode.tumblr.com/tagged/petscii. They are:
– Amiga demo New-D by Otro and Goto80 (2010)

– Amiga-demo 911 by Limbo (1997)
