the scrolling! awesome. nothing but scrolling but it's damn cool. and yes it's more like demo but it's a game?? who knows... it's just cool to play with. run run run!
Code and gfx were made in 1992, 1st shown at Euromeeting '92. Finally, a preview was spread in 1994.
Gfx by KDO aka Ulysse are unfinished, especially the beast's sprites. But it's nice, I must agree :).
Technically, there are 33 splitscreens, 14 scrollings, mixing modes 0-1-2 (16-4-2 colors' mode), 64 KB videoram (this is the maximum it can do).
Press escape once to see another sprite "Press fire to play" ;)
Hey! the upcoming group Arkos intend to do a new version of this game-menu! Wait for their "DemoIzart"...

I saw this preview (and the other ones) first time in 1994. But there were screenshots of them in Amstrad Cent-Pour-Cent magazine in 1992, taken for the Euromeeting (where I wasn't :(...) Grrr... Overflow? why didn't you send me there previews back in 1992???
People may think it's easy to do, but problem is that 1-pixel scroll can't be done by hardware (unless: use a CPC+). Used trick is a soft+hard trick :) quite easy to code, but it must have been a pain to time-interpolate ruptures and sprites management.
Hmmm... what about coding it again but on a CPC+? with hardware sprites and hardware 1-pixel scrolls??? No-one cares I guess! ;)

Yeah! I love it and I thought I have to vote for my favoritest and most interesting hard screen ever! I wish I had a CPC with CRTC0 to watch it perfectly (But I will get one from Peter in few time..)
Old effects are the best ;-)
damn incredible !!
Supa!
Have a CPC464 with Monitor :)
Loved playing Into the Eagles Nest :)

Awesome!

Yeh !! if a conversion like this add been done in CPC, a lot of people hadn't move to other computers ^^
nice tech demo.
Oh yeah! Definitively awesome to watch on real CPC hardware.
Oh yes I remember this awesome preview... Logon System was my favourite group on CPC o/
I don't like the gfxs but the code is technically amazing, as usual with Overflow...
Shadow of the Best by Overflow.
I like everything in it. That was so promising...
Impressive!
This is a recent patch for CRTC1 + plus
classic amiga stuff on the CPC
Shadow Of The Beast!! The best game almost ever...
Great piece of code
I just watched it on a GT64, amazing. Such a depth and the beast looks so ossom in green. <3 I Couldn't take it as wanted, but here a small video...
Btw, I read there was a CRTC 1 version of it, if someone have it...
PS: still my fav ;)

@Buckethead: Modified version here
Thanks Grimmy!
Is there any Customer Service Award? this one could make it: in 2011 patch for crtc1, on some code from 1992.
On 6128+? likely not, but check youtube by AST.

Thanks for advertising and great Shadow of the Beast menu conversion.
@Overflow:
Hahah! Rulez =)!
Please make a FULL game, if possible!

Still kicking asses ;)
"On 6128+? likely not"
dixit @Overflow
(Ok it was on GX4000 instead.)
The old one still has its charm anyway.

if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken,
do not post about it in the comments, it will get lost.

The most remarkable is the 1st preview, which is the above you see in the screenshot. A neat 9+ parallax scrolling shadow of the beast which was supposed to be the menu of a demo never released..
Neat!
