Hackersoft have always
been fascinated by game characters and sprites, and so from that came a
need to produce a demo that featured multiple game characters. It
started off as a skive off work, and then slowly developed into
something special. Only four sprite shows were ever produced and there
were plans and drawings to produce the fifth instalment, which never
really got off the ground.

The
Famous Sprites Show 1 |

RELEASE
DATE:
1995
ASSISTED BY:
Unknown
person who produced the great tune.
PRODUCTION
NOTES:
This
program came about after reading a sprite programming
article in one of the later issues of Commodore Format
magazine. It was the first time that Hackersoft would
use animated sprites - even if they were monochrome.
This
program took about 2 days to produce. |

PRODUCTION
NOTES:
This demos
was programmed in one day by Hackersoft founder, Vinny
Mainolfi. It is said that he was taking a sickie from
work and decided to spend his time on something more
productive. Vinny feels that this demo is the best out
of all the four Sprite Shows. |

The
Famous Sprites Show 3 |
| |
 |
RELEASE
DATE:
1995
ASSISTED BY:
Great
intro artwork and some additional ideas from Simon
Reece.
PRODUCTION
NOTES:
Yet
another sprite show from Hackersoft that didn't take too
long to produce. One reason for this was the lack of
BASIC memory space, which eventually limited the amount
of sprites that could appear within the show. If only
Vinny Mainolfi of Hackersoft had bothered to learn some
machine code. |

The
Famous Sprites Show 4 |
| |
 |
RELEASE
DATE:
1996
ASSISTED BY:
Great
intro artwork and some additional ideas from Simon
Reece.
PRODUCTION
NOTES:
The final
Sprite show is taken into space and has an element of
Star Trek to it. The only reason why there is a fourth
slide show is because of the many requested from the
Editor of Commodore Scene magazine for Hackersoft to
produce another version and write a diary of the
programming - which was printed in Commodore Scene
magazine. The slide show was officially released via the
magazine on a FREE disk. |
