So it was not impossible... just super hard. This is the 48k Spectrum...

It was (and I think is still) impossible on the ZX Spectrum without Clour Clash for the playable part of the game… with vector polygons moving in real time. This intro is probably sreamed frame by frame.

You didn't understand that I wrote this with Astra implementing the VM of Another World for the Z80. Those are frames in real time produced by running the VM. You are referring to previous attempts, that delta-compressed the frames. So you basically are validating my point.

You didn’t wrote it in the post! I also have to admit I hadn't read the other comments carefully. Amazing results! Near incredible. I can understand Astra (and you) ported the original gamme VM, still cannot understand how it renders it in 8x8p 2 colors space

I gave the hint to Astra that successive polygons on top of old ones, if the 8x8 cell was already colored, could use fg/bg to still render both colors correctly, and the demo has not many places where the quantized colors have 3 different ones in 8x8 cell.

Brilliant! Do you think it will be possible to render also the playable part in the same way (with some quirks)?

If you haven't loaded your games from cassette-tapes, you have not lived.

Wow, that’s incredibly cool! I ported it a few years ago too, but to a much more powerful ZX Spectrum clone

Wow that's super impressive

‘R-tape loading error’ then having to fuck around with the volume on the cassette player. But so worth it once the game had loaded Golden times ❤️

OH MY GOD

what is this?

Another World virutal machine ported to the 48k ZX Spectrum

i'm too young to recognize it i guess :)

In my mind, graphics were beautiful

Brilliant! It's this open source and/or available to download anywhere?

Another World runs *really* well under MicroPython too! Albeit on a microcontroller with way more oomf than the classic Z80! Nice work. 😊

Ha! @ponceto91 😉

Ok now that's quite impressive.

@bfggamepassion

That is sensational work, damn

Thanks for the flashback. Great computer.

You made this? It’s great!

Another World! ❤️

grandiosa idea!

No way! 🥹 My favorite game ever. On first computer I had.

Check my take on the topic, though this is not the vm port per se

Is the name of the game another world ?

Did you port the original VM or reimplemented the sequence natively?

absolutely loved this game. You're nuts ha.

Hahahahaha... it is INCREDIBLE.

Those were the times. Another World was legendary💪

another world...

@grok what is 48k spectrum?

Wow! This was a vector game, very innovative at the time, an one of very few I ever finished. Very impressive to see it on a ZX Spectrum!

best game ever.

Noooo il mio gioco preferito! ❤️ Fantastico

Might work better on a SAM Coupe Mode 4.

My brain, fresh out of the microwave

ZX Spectrum? I don't think we had those in the states. I had the Sinclair 1000 for $99. That computer was a POS. Moved onto the Vic 20 and sprites, fun times were had 😀
