Alchimie

(under construction)

The 12th edition held in 2017

Alchimie is a French demo and retro computer party held in France, more precisely in the Drôme département, in the 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).

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.

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.
