C64 GFX Tricks

Source: https://youtu.be/DQpLAIkNVLE

It is impressive, what programmers in the 80s achieved with so little. The graphics capabilities of the Commodore 64 were not bad at the time. Quite the contrary. Still, compared to machines like the Amiga, the C64 was quite limited.

Nevertheless there are games, that really push the limits and some of them seem to go beyond. Sharopolis gets into the nitty gritty details of multiple layer parallax scrolling, which should not be possible on a C64. Still it is.

An interesting video with an interesting twist.
