(under construction)

The 12th edition held in 2017


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.



Organization and history

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.

First edition of the Alchimie was held in 2001.

Demoniak actually came here before everybody(builder) else as he is also an Amiga legend as well. He later chose to avoid the event in order to avoid MacDeath (quite understandable). ;-p

Halas, Overflow was totally unknown as a legend there, this injured his pride so he sweared to the gods of code that one day he will be recognized at last and began a long work to the tops of the Demoscene to re-affirm his status one day.

This year more than 20 French Amstradists came to the party which also saw 3 Amstrad releases, while many are often seen at forums or 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.

Compos

Alchimie 12 – 2017

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.

Case completed the Amstrad performances with his Amstrad CPC Graphic composition, Ranked First as well.

Glokzilla , a very cool Atari STf demo reached 3rd place and was also a serious contestant.
