Batman Forever: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:48, 14 January 2021

Batman Forever, often simplified to "the Batman demo", is an Amstrad CPC6128 demo released in 2011 at the Forever demoparty by the Batman Group, a former Amiga demoscene group.

This award-winning demo redefined the Amstrad CPC demoscene. Since its release in 2011, the Amstrad CPC demoscene is still awaiting for a "Batman killer". Many tried, few were close... yet Batman remains undefeated.

Some demoscene aficionados would even comment that this is the best Atari ST demo ever... oh wait?!

It requires a disk drive and 128kb RAM.

It was released at Forever 2011 demoparty and somewhat helped the Amstrad CPC to (re-)gain some publicity in the global old-school demoscene since.
