TOM/JONES

Recommended Posts

Yeah, another demo from the wAMMA guys who now call themselves "Trilobit" as it seems...

 

And like their previous demos it's great! I especially like the music in this one, it comes pretty close to C64-quality :music: !

 

It also works fine in z26.

Why the name TOM / JONES?

 

 

I was expecting to see some overweight Vegas performer..

 

"Woah woah woah she's a ladddyy!"

Not my work. Nevertheless, quite possibly the most amazing thing you will ever see and/or hear from the 2600.

Believe me, you'll see even more amazing things in the future :)

Well that's 4K that's got a date with my Cuttle Cart II.... Though I'd really like to run it on my H6er so maybe I'll burn it to a ROM instead. :)

 

Verrry impressive. Though you probably need to be a coder (like me!) to realise just how impressive it is!

Why the name TOM / JONES?

As the theme of the demo is love, we decided to name this demo after an epitome of love, that is, Tom Jones :)

 

Also the way of spelling it TOM/JONES is a sort of tribute to Fairlight's C64-demos (WE/LASER, WE/BANANA etc.) as the design is very much influenced by Fairlight's style.

 

And as ilmarque said, there's still more to come. You ain't seen nothing yet.

The tune is for the song Sex Bomb by Tom Jones and Massive Attack.

Yeah! This was the song they used for the 3rd season opener of Robot Chicken during the Gyro-Robo News Hour bit. I was trying to figure out where I'd heard it from, and that's it!

Yes :) RAMBO :] I have three, every slightly different.

Mine is a Darth Vader with 256 built-in games.

 

What are the differences between yours?

Two have 128 games build in, third (black, very similar to org. a2600) have 196 games (two roms on board - 512KB and 64KB).

I dont know names, i think all must be "RAMBO's" (very popular in my neighbourhood)

Newsflash: tom/jones was released before that episode of Robot Chicken was aired.

 

...and besides, they don't even sound alike.

Right, it was released before the episode aired...so that's likely why they used it, as it had already been released...

 

And yeah, they do sound alike. Quite a bit, in fact.
