[demo] Down by Life on Mars

The most mindblowing thing to come out of the ZX Spectrum for a while. Made by introspec and friends for Sundown 2014, where it rightfully took first place in the oldskool compo.

Download here.

[album] FM Micro: Super Turbo Pocket Edition

Groovemaster303 and Jredd are funking up the summer with a new Sega Mega Drive EP. A++ material!

As a bonus, the album is also available as a ROM, to be run on real hardware or an emulator. The binary is available here.

[demo] Back to Color by AntonioND

A demo for the Gameboy Color - now that's something you don't see every day. It was made for the GBDev 2014 coding compo, which is still accepting submissions for a few more days.

The demo itself may have some room for improvements, but I'm just too happy to see a prod on this platform to not post it.

Get the binary at pouet.

Also AntonioND was kind enough to release the source of the demo on Github. Even more extra props for also releasing the OpenMPT -> GBC converter used to create the music for this demo.

FreeDOS Turns 20

Ancient Wonderworld salutes the FreeDOS team. The free MS-DOS clone has just celebrated its 20th anniversary a few days ago. Here's to another 20 successful years!

[demo] 8088 Domination by trixter^Hornet

Trixter of Hornet presented a spectacular follow-up to his 10 year old "8088 Corruption" at @party last month, where it of course took first place. The demo features -gasp- full video streaming with up to 60 fps and audio on oldschool IBM PCs with CGA graphics. 'Nuff said.

Get the binary at scene.org.

[album] Goto80 - Files in Space

New Goto80, hiphip horray! Another super solid release, as always with a beautiful mix of chip anthems, jazzy jams, and lo-fi goodness.

It came out a couple of weeks ago, and unfortunately the physical release, a tape edition limited to 100 copies, is already sold out. However, you can of course still purchase the digital version on bandcamp.

[magazine] Lotek64 #49 Released

A new issue of what is arguably the most popular German language Commodore magazine Lotek64 has been released. Expect a truckload of hardware, software, and music reviews as well as a number of in-depth articles and interviews.

Download it here or order a physical copy at Lotek64's website.

[album] A Laser for Lovers - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Ancient Wonderworld is back after a little summer break. I'll be digging through the backlog of recent releases in the next days.

First up, we have a new release by BLEO which honestly surprised me with it's slow, dark, minimalistic grittyness. Those who purchase the album are rewarded with a nifty package with quite a few bonus items. So check it out on bandcamp and toss the guy a few bucks if you can!
