Alchimie
,/* Alchimie 13 – 2019 */
'''Alchimie''' is a French demo and retro computer party obviously held in '''France''', more precisely in the Drôme département, in the wine producting Valley of the Rhône.
Organized by the '''TripleA''' association, an originally '''Amiga''' oriented club. '''TripleA''' mostly organize events called Amigabouffes, which are basically dinners with Amiga afficionados. '''Alchimie''' and '''µAlchimie''' are the annual XXL Amigabouffes.
The annual events are currently alternating with the main '''Alchimie''' each odd years and the smaller more intimist '''µAlchimie''' the even years (between each main). Main '''Alchimies''' are held in '''Tain l'Hermitage''' (Drôme) while '''µAlchimies''' are help in the smaller village of '''Clérieux''' (Drôme). mostly during late october or mid-november.
It has seen more and more French Amstradists attending it in later editions, slowly becoming one of the main French Amstrad friendly party, alongside Atari and Amiga and any retro computers fans, and modern computers users as well.

[[Demoniak]] actually came here before as he is also an Amiga legend. He later chose to avoid the event in order to avoid MacDeath (quite understandable). He actually coded a small intro for CPC during the event (unreleased officially) [https://cpcrulez.fr/demostestDO_intro_alchimie_2007.htm Link at CPCrulez Here]<gallery>Image:Alchimie7x004.jpg|Proof Demoniak is also an Amiga enthusiast and attended Alchimie before it was cool.Image:Alchimie7x005.jpg|Demoniak working on something at Alchimie2007 ?Image:Alchimie7b.png|Alchimie7 intro by Demoniak.</gallery>

This year '''more than 20 French Amstradists''' came to the party which also saw 3 Amstrad releases, while many are often seen posting at [[Forum|various forums]] such as [[Amstrad.eu]] or [[CPCRulez]], other peoples simply came with Amstrads along other machines because you know, AMMMSTRAAAADDD !!! The Organizers really appreciated that those many Amstradists came to revitalize the Party with good humour and a huge crocodile, the best thanks to be done to the TripleA association is to come to release nice prods there. MacGyver spent the whole event to demonstrate the PinScreen in the "Amstrad corner" and some conferences were held by Roudoudou, MacGyver, PulkoMandy. Khomenor covered the event with many Twitch lives with 2 webcams and many drinks were had. As always a concert with AY/YM chiptunes was given on Saturday night. Also it was steaming hot because of some heating system malfunction and a few power shortage here and there due to some misplaced red power-off button and the many 30+ years old machines working. This year, nice mouse pads and bags were produced as merchandizing / goodies.

[[File:Alchimie CRTC3.png]]
The '''Alchimie12''' (2017) was somewhat special in that '''[[Roudoudou]]''' and '''[[Overflow]]''' decided to both release at the composition, for Amstrad PLUS/GX4000 format in ROM cartridges, making it a doubled first. Nothing could have been possible without the '''[[C4CPC]]''' cartridge to unlock the full potential of the system at last. The second generation of Amstrad CPC made a grand entrance as a serious '''Demoscene''' competitor in the retro computer categories, competing with 16bits with huge number of colours on screen, impressive soundtracks and smooth fast paced animations, praised by Amiga and Atari fans during the event.
