We stay on the topic of video signal generation, but make a right turn into the C64 curve. 

The video output of the now 40 year old Commodore box is legendary and set new standards back in the days. Responsible for all the colorful glory was and still is the VIC-II video chip.

The possibilities of that particular piece of silicon were responsible for all kinds of visual delights, that the demo scene but also game developers brought into the 80s and 90s living rooms.

But according to the motto From great power comes great responsibility, you first have to understand what the VIC-II is capable of in detail, and how to actually persuade it to do just that.

Rocco Di Leo has put together all the details you need to know in a beautiful 5-part series. A nice package, that is a lot of fun to unpack.

You wanted to dust off your C64 for a long time? This series invites you to exciting experiments.
