40 Years of Amstrad CPC: A Textmode Tribute

Teletext may be 50 this year, but there has been another big anniversary – 40 years of the Amstrad CPC. So naturally I combined the two mediums and created a small gallery of textmode artworks for the occasion! Some are new, others old and unreleased.

Plus: a bonus AMSCII piece featuring the ever-popular croco dude, which placed second in Logiker’s competition for artwork hand-crafted in the format, held in June 2024.

The first two pieces on this page were also featured in Yle Text’s Teletext50 exhibition in October and November 2024, no doubt befuddling its Finnish audience!
