Teletext on Amiga is here!

Should work on ECS as well, only tested on A1200/AGA. Fixed version coming up, soonish. Teletext-capable TV required :)

This was great! Even managed to pull off that "talking head in a wild/video entry" thing without being too boring ;)

Haha, thanks. I actually had the "talking head" discussion in mind and filmed myself with the head out of frame :)

Well this one was really impressive. The idea to do it the Teletext MODE way was... super.

How can someone get such strange cool ideas, i loved it !

So wild. So great! What is the number of the greetings page? ;-)

Losso delivers once again!

Saw it on the livestream and i'm blown away. Awesome idea and implementation. ❤

That is some impressive result given the format.

VERY IMPRESSIVE!

So I'm guessing it's the Amiga's overscan capabilities that make this possible? However it was done, I wonder why it wasn't done before?

Crazy in the best possible way.

Awesome. Now do Doom next ;-)

As for doom, well... :)

I haven’t even watched it yet. Just giving thumb up for the techno breakthrough of generating teletext on Amiga. Mighty coders have tried and failed at this task before. It should be a good candidate for a ‘technical wonder’ award of some kind next year.

Watched the video now. This is incredible! Actually the framerate of the animation makes me think there was a lost opportunity for teletext games in the past (Disclaimer: I haven't thought about this for more than 1 second)

Love this! Pushing the boundaries of Teletext yet again, I thoroughly approve. Fantastic work Losso. :)

Awesome prod! It was buttersmooth to play (after I figured out how to jump =), thanks again for letting us play that on your hardware. Now think of this on an array of 4x3 TVs == HD gaming =D

C64 tracking for the VCS, Amiga teletexting for you old TV...
Where will this end!?

Oh, and brilliant prod, of course.

It's so unusual, but looks like they did it!! :)

The combination of weird technologies is strong with this one :D Awesome to have a "tech demo" in form of such an enjoyable end product!

I wonder if it's possible to transmit sound over videotext by causing audible intermodulation artifacts in the receiving-end CRT or sth... (until the transformer overheats).

What features might be hidden in the undocumented proprietary teletext extensions? =)

you should consider about having to warn your children about this game.
the whole programm is made, so people that can not distinguish between real war and worms, are recommended to not play it.

A little clarification from the history department: I have since learned that this was, in fact, *not* the world's first achievement of Teletext output directly from the Amiga! It has been done in 1994 already! Fascinating stuff.

Still should have won the outstanding technical achievement award at Meteoriks. Perhaps a tie with Cycle-Op would be appropriate. Cycle-Op contains the pictures made by the "perfect HAM conversion algorithm" if I understand correctly.
