Nice! Just looked you guys up on Pouet, and although I definitely remember the name from back then I don't really recall having seen any of the demos unfortunately.
This is most of my crap FWIW. A few mediocre sample demos of my own in there :D

From the video it's running on a CPC 6128 — IIRC (40 years ago, now) the original 1984 model, the 464, was 64kB RAM and a tape deck (which is what I had) and then the 664 came out the next year with 64kB and a built in 3" disc drive, and then the 6128 was almost straight after with 128kB RAM and disc drive.
Otherwise there wasn't really any notable difference in the internals — 4MHz Z80 that was effectively slowed down by the video hardware.
Cool demo! I tried a few things like this but I was 12 or 13 at the time and upgraded to an Atari ST in ~1987 so never really got that deep into it. Had to teach myself Z80 assembly and figure out how to program the video memory first, and information was kind of hard to come by back then :D
Edit: just noticed your username... were you an ST kid too?
That's pretty sweet for a Speccy.
Great race today! Grats to both Marquez brothers and also great job to team VR46!
Hopefully Bez is OK after that early wipe.
The country next to mine keeps threatening to invade.
True, there's a long time left for upsets to happen.
I've only been watching the last couple of seasons so I never saw him at his historical peak... maybe I'm a little too excited to see him winning again :D
Agreed!
Not the first time I've read through one of these scam-baiting articles and I'm sure it won't be the last. It's quite fascinating how they work.
I'm honestly excited to see Marc back on top. He seemed so happy on the podium in Thailand, like he finally felt like he was where he wanted to be. I was torn last season between knowing he'd do well there and feeling like Jorge got the shaft.
And then yesterday he broke his own 11 year old lap record — clearly Ducati made the right decision.
I was impressed by Miller too. He always seemed so inconsistent at KTM — some great early pushes that always seemed to just peter out later in the race. Maybe the Yamaha just suits his style better.
Canadians are buying fewer products made in the U.S. in an effort to brace for the impact of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which are set to cause prices to skyrocket across a range of products.
It has nothing to do with bracing for the tariffs. It's because Fuck The USA.

I really liked that.
