A Casio and Commodore 64 Christmas!

[Chas]

Hey everyone,
 

Like many Gen X'ers, I grew up with the C64 and loved seeing it in the stores at Christmas time running the 1982 Christmas Demo. My family got a C64 for Christmas 1983, and the Christmas before (1982) I got a Casio VL-1. As such, I always associated both of them with Christmas and the seasonal festivities.
 

I wanted to combine these two childhood memories, so many years later I re-recorded all the C64 Christmas Demo music by using my collection of Casios/ Casiotones, then I green-screened myself into the original C64 demo playing them and adding some extra characters! (C64 demo starts @5.22, music starts @6.40, watch from the beginning for the lead up intro story)
 

Merry Christmas!

I have one too. Always thought I was a bit weird for having a passion for this old machine. So, Thank You. :D

Hey, thank you.

 

Having an C64 since 1987 but an Casio just for two weeks. I still have a lot to discover.

Frighteningly well put together. Kind of like if Moss and Roy from the IT Crowd decided to put together a promo for Casio. But seriously, very well done Chas. A little bit of Wendy Carlos on that ending track with the newer CTS? I don't have any of my old Casios anymore-or my Atari 520ST-FM but I have 2 banks of Casio samples in my Fusion courtesy of Steve Howell-an SK-1 and about 2 dozen CZ-1 samples. Been playing around with those.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the flight deck.......
