UPDATED SEPTEMBER 18, 1994
How the demos were rated:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "subjective" ratings consist of three scores on a 0-10 scale and an
overall score which is a combination of the three scores. Keep in mind
that this (the ratings) is "ONE" persons opinion of the demos AND, many
demos were reviewed previous to other GREAT demos thus the reason for
some deviation in the scores given. By all means don't take any bad
ratings of your demos personally.
Many people (5+) have helped review demos within this list.
GRAPHICS deals with fonts, drawings, pictures, and anything graphic oriented.
MUSIC/SOUND deals with what is heard. Most demos were judged using
the SB(pro) or GUS (so you'll probably need both of them).
CODING deals with the complexity of what is seen and not internally.
SIZE corresponds to the uncompressed size. This may differ slightly.
DATE is the latest day I noticed on the main demo files.
There are 450+ demos in this list. Problems? Contact dmw@eng.ufl.edu

Fast circle-effect, sine scroller (coded in interesting way) - not
a great job for asm-intro-compo (of course some music)
btw: at the end they are talking about many bugs: here is one:
press (& hold) left shift during sine-scroller. Letters D and G will
be moved 'a little' ;-)

Really nice intro with some bitplane-mapping (& rotating), vectors,
vector-dots, etc. There is such a bug, it supports GUS only at 220
(for other base-ports un-pklite this program and change 0x220 (the
only one) in code to your base address).

+-------+-----------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------+
Probably THE BEST demo I've ever seen - 2nd Reality - Assembly'93
winner. Btw: at the moment this is the only demo in the world with
Overall: 10 - rating! Why? Download it!
Excelent music for this track demo (??? only muzax is like in track
demo :-(( not gfx) was composed by Purple Motion & Skaven - really
cool..
There are many old effects but with good design - so whole demo looks
compact and really cool.. But some of them are not-the-best -
comparing bitplane rotation of head in 2nd Reality and bitplane
not_only_rotation of logo in Optic Nerve (abilities, resolution).

I don't know if pictures inside can be called graphics. Looks ...
Almost pallete effects, and one part with bitplane rotating.
For sound, external DMP is required ;) so may be it supports your
device :)

Demo contains rotating cube (so obvious), low-zoom plasma (so good,
because you cannot see plasma in any other demo this way - always
there is a high zoom (because looks better ;-), then a dot-ball (also
obvious), and end-scroller (thats all???? yes....)

| Date | June, 1993 | | Overall | 1.7 |
+-------+-----------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------+
First intro by Aardwark, short and not-so-impressive (except the
screen flash during the scroller on my computer). Contains a
bouncing screen in the begining and full-screen scroller (that
doesn't look good on my machine). Plays a short looped Queen's
VOC via Sound Blaster.

This did not work the first time for me because I had CPAV
running (as I always do) in the background. Once I disable it the
demo worked fine. What we have here is a graphic desktop (light,
pen, cup, ACE) rotating around going in and out. The graphic is
nicely drawn but there is nothing more to this demo. The sound
sample is a good choice but repeative.

+-------+-----------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------+
Nothing really new in this demo. It has a morphing vector ball part,
very brief polygon section (polygon is small), a nice "psycadelic"
spiral section. An interesting thing about this one is that when you
expect this demo to end it doesn't. ;-) GUS music supported only in
this one.

In the beginning there are nice hi-res titles. After those cute vectors
with shadows followed by ground shaded vectors, there is vector world
and lots of other stuff...

If the year were 1989 I would probably be impressed with this demo,
however the year is 1993 and the standards are higher. Many line
coloring and screen clearing effects, color cycling, and background
changing takes place in this demo. Some fractal graphics and a
couple TCR graphic pictures are also thrown in. Sadly enough, this
demo can not be "escaped" out of and ends with a long (300 baud)
text written message which should have been left out.
+-------+-----------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------+

Debute of ICSPC, a new hungarian demo-group. They say they need a
gfx dude (and it shows!). Demo looks like Panic or Facts of Life
- based, but looks Õehmå poooor... It should be a techno-party,
contains some techno-effects, but.. (watch it and you'll make
your own opinion). Starts with ray-traced animation (many demo
coders hate raytraced pictures & animations - 'cause it only
shows that you can use a 3D Studio (or whatever), not you are
good in demo-coding!)
+-------+-----------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------+

+-------+-----------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------+
A good example of why you can't use high-level languages for coding
demos. This was written in Turbo Pascal, and it shows. This demo is
slow, and choppy. Graphics? Hardly! Drawn with deluxe paint, just
like the font. If your thinking about coding in pascal/C, take a
look at this, it might discourage you...

A short invitation to Party'93 by Access Denies (PC-organizer of

music and nice screen at the begining).

Coded slowly (probably in such a higher language - but looks good
also, augh - slow and unsync), cotains some obvious parts
(sine-scrollers, delay bectors, etc), and such a interesting
modificaction of wormhole.

MEGA DEMO is right! This sucker has nine parts and six musical
pieces. This demo includes transparent vectors, shade vectors,
virtual reality, entropy, shade patterns, plasma effects and
mega--slam into the wall--music. The first tunes is one of the
best I've heard on a demo. This demo stands on the same platform
as the UNREAL demo. No doubt about it, this is a winner. Hope
you have a 386 and can hear the tunes.

I don't even know how to start about this one. It's basically a
picture slide-show of photos scanned in from a French magazine of
two people who went on a picnic, but ended up as victims of
cannabalism. The pictures are quite shocking. I've watched brain
surgery, knee surgery, and some other operations done in a hospital,
but I've never seen so much gore of this nature. Pitty what the
world is coming to. Pictures were taken in 1981. If you don't have
the stomach for seeing maimed body parts, DON'T DOWNLOAD this one.
It's quite frank in nature. It would help if you could read French
too.

Not much in this demo. Has a wire frame part. Couldn't really make
out what the objects were, plasma effects, and a greets part done in
EGA's 640x350 mode. Author pretty much wrote this demo just to show
of his new syncronized player routine. Off course it's a GUS only
demo.

There is not much to this demo--plasma, a graphics picture of what
appears to be a lion, and music. However, the THRASH music is really
good--something Ihave not heard in any demos. The funny thing about
this deme is the "Cognition-Enhancement Drugs" article included
in the .exe file as a joke.

Quite funny (and short) complaint about bars. Everything is based
on bars & moving, used lots of efects with bars. To characterize
the principle of this short demo I chose following messages
from scroller: "... and now I never want to see those things
again in another demo!" and "please be original!" (so - to other
(especially new) demo-groups - please be original!)

Hex-appeal - very first demo after some changes in Cascada. Cascada
is now working on some commercial stuff, and, here is Cascada Demo
Section! Generaly, the most impressive thing (for me) is sound-setup:
in gfx :-) Pretty cool music (Zodiac is still Cascada's D.S. musician)
Interesting math-transforming of fractal-based object, and (with SB
neverending) cube & texture mapping...

A castle ripped from the "Prince of Persia" game, some skulls
transforming and bouncing, and an Art of Noise color/scrolling effect
(neat) make up the graphical part of this demo. The music was
sampled from the Art of Noise "The Fon Mixes" album. The tune is
a rather poor example of the Art of Noise's musical ability.

Assembler Instinct - Party'93 7th demo - I was really suprised - it is
really cool (some parts of it). Several obviose one: vector-dots,
plasma, rotating bitplane. But ckeck out: vector-slime cube, textured
and ground-shaded (!) Or two objects going across each other (like you
sure know it from CD2) - but textured...
Also, you can see photos of Gollum's members here (in last part) -
mapped on vector cube.

An invitation to Assembly'94 - Third phase. At first, I was really
suprised that everything is done by FC except coding! (Mik/Sonic PC)
Just one note: at the end of this week Scream Tracker 3 was released
(finally!), so I believe its better to release ST3 (but accoding Trug
ST3 wansn't the reason why PSI didn't coded this invtro).
Allright, music - as usual by Purple Motion, some information texts,
nothing to say about it except - wait for ASSEMBLY'94!

The music may not work if you choose the SB along with 20,000 Hz.
These people like moving color. There are six color bars and color
boxes giving a "traveling down a road" effect toward a mountain.
Flipping period font scroll and music I really dig but do not know
why. There are some "balls" moving around. The scroll text is VERY
long so you might want to go into the file to read it all.

artist? I don't think so!). Delay vectors, delaydots, bitplane
rotating, lens... but design of demo is not so good. (btw: comparing

This demo may also be known as RBGDemo. It has decent SB Pro
music and the often seen vector ball routine. The highlight of
this demo is the "glass" or mirror of the text/vectorballs seen
on the bottom of the screen. Won't work with memory manager
present. All this by a group from the US of A.

This is an intro which placed 3rd place at THE PARTY III. Contains
dot tunnels which were *quite* slow on my 486SX/33 MHz with local bus
VGA, 3D factcal landscape (slow also), gouraud shaded polygons, and
a quite long zoom credits/greets section. Code in this intro needs
to be a bit optimized. All the same it was amusing to watch. It
ran with my GUS, but I'm not sure whether it supports SB(Pro).

This demo is simply rotates objects with a spacy background and
"airy" music. Some objects include a helicopter, cool spaceship,
and some balls dancing around a cube. There are a few versions
of this floating around (2 of which did not work for me). A
newer version has a spinning box with moving scroll text and
a box with fractels on each side--cool. This older version works!

Totally amazing raster/copper bar effects. Unique wobble, flood,
water, and other unseen parts are shown in this demo. The tune
gets a trite after awhile. Some parts like fading, and zooming
did not work for me. All in all this is a great demo in the

nice demo (and a LONG greetz list I failed to sit thru). The coding

a little unprofessional. Lots of parts make this demo good. There
is a vector ball flag, volume bars, line bobs, a interesting but hard
to read wave+wave scroller. The gfx are minimal, but don't detract

This is completely inspired by the Akira Japanese anime serious. If
your an Akira fan, the pics are sure to please you. The demo is
basically an Akira picture slide show with interfering circles, 3D
dots, and fractal zooms. For some reason, it wouldn't work on my
GUS which is set at address 240, when I tried it with my SB,
the demo would kick me out telling me I didn't have enough memory to
continue (my machine's a 486SX/33 MHz with 4 MB of RAM). I had to
watch the demo in silence, and play the MOD files with a Mod-file
player! =( Not a pleasant way to "enjoy" a demo...

The Renaissance crew is hitting hard with lots of intros in this
new (1993) year. This one (which is probably the first demo to do
this) supports the GUS sound card. My advice is to read the warning
text file and never allow the demo to do a clean boot. Play it safe.
Color bars going to the beat of the music, a skull whos eyes light
up and a changing sinus scroll are just a few of the features in this
quicky.

Hm, the first release from Divine. Nothing great, some old vector
stuff, a lot of boring texturing (textured box), old style wormhole
(still used today?). Nothing new, I must say.
But I'd like to say some words about gfx. The introduction word
'presents' is ripped from Wish/Magic 12 and the devil from
2nd Reality/Future Crew can be also seen there (but in changed
palette :)). Well, but guys mentioned this in the ending scrolly
so it is OK? (eh?)

Delusion calls themselves the only choice demo group from New
Zealand. I guess I agree with them. The demo contains a fading
Star Wars scroller, a great "TV quality" ship fly-by, and a nice
musical score. Works with SB, SB Pro. There really are no gfx
to speak of, just a couple of decent fonts. Overall this is worth
a download.

A decent start on a good demo, but the music will drive you crazy!
Some nice special effects, that we have all seen before (Plasma,
VectorBalls, Dot Flags, etc). A major mistake was the switching
back to text mode in between each part looks tacky. Not a bad demo
overall.

This demo is reminiscent of the early PC demo scene. It's a static

equlizer bars for the music, and a text writer within the star field.
Music wasn't bad at all.

Delusion "placed" third at the PARTY II in Denmark. Contents
include delay (shade) vectors, shade bobs, metallic vectorballs,
realtime plasma (looks great), a two scroll (one horizontal and
one sine moving vertical scroll) greet screen, two short animation
sequences, credits screen with moving (real) "glass" lenses, and
finally a picture of Einstein being swirled down a toilet. Packed
full of interesting effects. Certainly a winner for Sonics "second"
demo.

A dentro for pandora's box--whatever that means. This demo seems to
do a lot of talking... Perhaps this is a little demo to permote
a demo. Anyhow, when someone says Ultraforce quality demos come
to mind and this is no exception. Excellent graphics, interesting
routines, space, copper bars, awesome stereo music, cool shade bars,
mirrored scroll, and more scrolls. The SECRET key combination is:
CONTROL and RIGHT_SHIFT and F9 and GRAY_PLUS and 0
This key combination will show you thumb size pictures of the coders
within the scrolling demo section.

Demo coded in Borland C++ with inline asm. Augh. I think the only
suitable language for demos is ASM. Why - watch this and compare...
For example filled vectors was rather slow on 386SX33 (without any
muzax) - in comparison with CD2 - much more complex vectors, muzax
on SB (takes lots of CPU time) - and its much-much faster. Why?
Because of asm!
Demo uses default borland BGI interface (oh god!), slow math routines
(e.g. 3D transformation of 100 dots was SLOW!)...

If you run this with a memory manager present you get a nice text/gfx
you would otherwise miss. Of course the scroll might screw up a bit
but that is what the text message mentions. This is a one part demo/
intro consisting of a scroll on top of a moving (up down & right) boxy
scroll, Digital Infinity logo and of course some cool period vector
letters (3D). The vectors UF, TX, and US remind me of what the Future
Crew did in their "theparty" demo. Neat mirror effect with the
vectors. Pervious work by a memember of this group includes mcdemo
and unodemo.

Digital is back again with another diftro. This one has a bouncing
diftro II logo, scrolling blue and white checkerd board background
and a text scrolling message. Of course we must not forget the
ending ansi screen or the decent DI logo. Still GUS only but the

quite good for their first attempt. Has trasparent polygons, a lot
of cool palette cycling effects, texture-mapping, and much more.
It's quite worth getting! Make sure you type MODE CO80 after the demo
ends. It seems like they forgot to completely return the VGA

Zax has a bbs and this is an intro to spread the word. His BBS is

This demo was uploaded as WITAN but changed to fo-life since that
is its original name. COLOR pictures of the coders, vectors, and
a starwars text beginning make up part one of this demo. The
intermissions contain a multiple scrolling graphical background
technique. The lightsource vector equalizer--spinning graphics
(vectors) that also act as an equalizer--is definitaly first class
coding. The final (and I believe older part) is a HOUSE TECHNO demo
consisting of rave/techno/pop music and graphics. People dance in
this demo.

This was Gollum's entry to the Bush Party '94. There are
four main parts. It opens with a nice transparent squiggly font, then
switches to a rotating cube with a strobing background. Part three is
wormhole/tunnel effect and from what I can tell it would have been a
great effect! For some reason I got garbage on the screen. (Actually,
after the cube, I can't tell if the garbage was intentional or
not.) The fourth part makes the intro worth watching. (I just wish it
would last longer) It's a modified lens effect using a chubby hand.
I only have two complaints: (1) I hate waiting for a program to setup,
(2) You have to press ESC to end the intro, or you will looking at
credits forever.

This demo's quite wierd in my opinion. Graphics aren't that good.
Basic copper bars, plasma effect, and boring texts and scrolls. It
also contains tons of profanity, and even has a picture of male
genitalia for the "FUCKINGS" part where the send their greets to
persons who had done them wrong. Yuck. Also, the file DREAM.EXE
is actually a compressed executable which decompresses the actual

When I got this demo I though of those muppets on "Fraggle Rock."
It use to be a show on HBO but is probably in syndication now.
Anyways, when I uncompressed this piece I noticed a 1 MEG .VOC file
and my hopes quickly faded. This crapper contains a scroll that
is a combination of broken English and some other language. There
is a BW VGA picture of someone with a "drawn on" redish santa cap
and a hard to read scroll coming out of the guys mouth. The "sung"
music is horrendous--what is Fraggel Barj anyways? Pure crap.

I tried and tried but could not get this demo to work with my
Sound Blaster--too bad because some tunes sounded like decent
Metallica music. The PC speaker gave off such a high pitched
it ruined the whole demo for me. Most of the text in this

scrolls, and coder mugshots can be found within the package.

This is a contribution to Assembly'94 - I'm not quite sure about its
abilities to win, because almost <every> gfx in demo is raytraced (ok,
except font). As you probably know, raytraced pictures are not so
popular on demo-scene, because it only shows that you are able to use
a raytracer, not that you are a good gfx artist.
Also coding is not so good - most of routines looks like already
published sources (I mean flame, wormhole, fractal-plasma and unreal-
landscape), but there are two parts with scrollers - really slow even
on suitable machines.

This is on the verge of not being a demo. Yes it has (bad)
SB music and yes it has vector rotation but... You can choose
between 6 objects to be rotated and you have control of the
speed, x,y, and z directions. Nothing to write home about.

This demo gave me an error the first time I ran it but worked fine
for the boot disk I use for other demos. This demo contains lots
of graphic/font logos--well done too. The main part of this demo
has Nirvana music--smells like teen spirit--digitized--a small, and
some balls moving with the music. Its more like moshing music then
head banging music.

Truly infinite shade bobs swirl around creating a facinating
multi-directional pattern. The music in the first part is
hard hitting. The landscape section looks something like what
the FC did in UNREAL except this one is VERY fast on a 486. It
seems like every group is doing shade patterns after UNREAL.
Imitation is the best for of flattery you know. This demo ends by
turning everything UPSIDE DOWN. Even my text editor work in this

This demo will support your Gravis UltraSound card. So "GUS" get it!
The main theme in this demo is "animation." This is not specifically
stated anywhere but its inirectly implied via the fire in the intro,
the globe in the greet screen, and of course the intricate jungle scene
which has to be seen to be believe. A stereotypical native African
drums (out of the wrong speakers) while something keeps running by. The
facial expressions, eye, hand, and belly movement make for a funny
though repeative scene. Shade bobs with background color changing
and a left to right bouncing scroll conclude this demo. Unique,
and humorous.

Parts of the green bouncing-bar scroll is written in another

"This demo was designed to show that it is possible to make nice

(surprise!) there are not many effects based on hardware tricks.
But it requires GUS for sound (don't ask why ;) - because you usually
need a fast 386 for player for SB :))
Some vector-objects, vector-face, vector dots and so (looks quite

The vector dot scroll was very fast on my 386DX 40 so forget
about reading it on a 486. What else? Well, if you want to
count a logo and a intro vector dot cube you can but don't
blink unless you have a "gasp" 286.

They call it a 72 Faced Glenz, I call it a beachball. A few of

raster vectors and even a little virtual reality part. As always

Any demo that starts off with an axe hitting a computer gets
my vote. Well familiar routines like vector balls, starwars
scrolls, shadebobs, and sine scrolls make their presence. A
sword morphing into an axe and cracking the screen as well
as a landscape are the highlights of this demo. I recommend
this demo to anyone who likes their demos to contain lots of
graphics.

Quite long but funny demo. Its badly coded (ehm, Lame?) but
really cool - I especially like part IV. Sound track is almost
sampled, but there is also a mod-part (plays some mods) and cmf
part (fm music). This demo(?) requires SB Pro, but it also works
with SB if you replace their drivers with your original SB drivers.

I've always wondered why everyone greets the Space Pigs and
now I wonder why they still do? This demo was made in 1990
and allows sound through the PC speaker or a device you made
(LPT1, LPT2). In fact, this demo is so old it was made for
EGA! There are some interesting effects scattered throughout
the six or so parts, especially for 1990. Perhaps it was
GREAT in its days but nowadays it won't even place.

I though this was going to be a crappy demo after seeing the intro
but I was proven wrong. Okay, so the music sucks. However, it is
suppose to be Nintendo sound. After leaving the first screen which
consisted of a bleeding Nintendo we are shown a picture of Nintendo's
Game Boy. A zoom in occurs and the Game Boy name fades to Gay Boy.
Mario dies and that superb Nintendo music is played while a RIP
graphic rises on the green screen. The comment "Now your playing
with Shit" appear along with "Portable Shit" on the next screen.
I'll agree with the "Demo making is truly an art" idea by Typhoon.
This is funny shit!

Obsession (the final version - because there was a quiet version

No smartdrive, emm, or Himem stuff--this thing will not even run
on a 386 without a "patch" file made by some other group. A zoom
into the Silents logo/font begins this production. From there
we go to a maximum overdrive style landscape which is really
impressive and probably helped this demo place 2nd at Assembly '93.
Sure, the Optic Plasma, Gouraud Shading, and rotating/stretching
Silents Logo were nice but... There is not much to this overrated

Seemed that this demo was going to avoid the typical "vector"
stuff by the way it started but eventually the third part led
to the rotating stuff. Although some of the rotating objects seemed
to have a liquid form when they rotated so that is something
different. The soundblaster music did not work properly for the
SB pro on the computer I use, however I have heard some say this
worked fine on their SB. The MOD version I have of the music is
great.

any port, but works only on 220 (or you need to patch 40+ out-s ;-)
But music is really nice (if rearable ;) - guitar song.
PS: If you've already found how to enter secret part, tell it to us...

Two dragons, one castle, four tunes, couple copper bars, one giant
scroll, shading effects, plasma, and a spacy/gravity text ending
are all here in Portal. No effect last too long--timed just right
for us low attention span folks. Be careful who you show this
demo to because the intro graphic may offend.

Preview Intro starts with a terrible-designed shade-bobs (with
green-blue color cycling). Also picci with rotating ball doesn't
look good (how'bout their gfx men and designers?). And
unreadable sine-scroller also flash (they do not use double-
buffering for this and their routines are too slow to draw a
frame during retrace) - it was on my SX33 with SB sound at 8khz :-(

This demo contains quite a bit of stuff including: Lens effects,
scroll in vector dots, mirrored vector balls, scrolling city, a
Star Trek effect (which I did not get), worm hole, vector dots, a
picture rotating in a globe and a few other routines that would not
work on my computer (video card?). Over five tunes and ten parts!
Even though a quarter of the demo did not work I would recommend
downloading this...hey, you may be lucky enough to see the lemmings

Breakdown...Hammer Time. Skull starts off with a presenting
screen where someone's digitized voice introduces the demo.
Vanilla Ice music takes over for a bit and will lead you into
part 1--nice gif, with interesting digi music. Part 2 has some
"Go for it!" digitized music with a cool ball bouncing effect.
Queen starts part 3 off with that cool "we will rock you" intro.
Breakdown--Can't touch this! It is Mc. Hammer digitized (music).
Weird wild stuff! Though the scrolls are a bit long this one is
a true winner, mainly because of the all the digitized music.

This is Distortions first demo. It contains the usual vector

still spinning. The oldest file among this list.

What is the name of that HUGH crack group? Razor1911? Well, their
demo division did this sucker. This a a vast improvement from some
of the "crack" screen I have seen of theirs. However, their "crack"
screens have better graphics and fonts. Circle shading, diagonal
shading, and vectors make up this short demo. Like the man says,
if ya can't hack the crack then go do the demo thing.

This demo spent an aweful long time loading data for the two
parts it had. The introduction had about five pictures that
flashed on the screen for about 1 second each. Might as well
as left them out as far as I am concerned. The main part of
this production contained an interesting LANDSCAPE. Very
realistic and comparable to the ones seen in some of decent
games. Too bad the GUS music routine only worked out of one
speaker on my machine...probably the coding.

This demo is called "Even Better Than the Real Thing." Kind of
sounds like a commercial. This group shows promise in demo coding.
We got a wild sine scroll that breaks in two with each scroll
cris-crossing. Object rotation can be found here as well. There
is an interesting large blue scroll with some balls going all
around and words dropping off the screen on the bottom. This
demo is not compatible with a SB, only a ROLAND. Slight downfall.

LAST VISION is no longer called OZONE. There is a cool tunnel
part in the beginning but it slows down each time a character
of text of this groups name is thrown at the viewer. After the
tunnel comes a very slow white out then a "space scene." The
latter sequence is extremely slow on my 386DX40. After about
5 minutes of the slowest "space" sequence in the demo scene the
credits appear. Definitely a demo not optimized for anything
slower than a 486DX33.

The music, with its various samples, add to the interest. A final
sample from the Terminator 2 movie concludes this demo. Did Arnold
say choppy scroll? This demo only seems to work with Tseng video

this demo. It has digitized pictures and sound samples from the

"Quality never goes out of topten!!!" With this demo this group
would probably be a candidate for the topten. Moving color bars,
shade patterns, the infamous finland flag, and spectrum analyzer
make up the first have of this seemingly normal demo. Then, some-
thing interesting happens. A transforming shade vector routine
loads up. A concept that was done with "quality." Not many gfx
artists will be the fabulous credit font of this demo. The exiting
640x480 picture is impressive as well.

The theme here is the gears spinning around in the middle of the

This is a mega demo of sorts with many parts. There are scrolls,
moving balls, raster bars, spectrums, a painted scroll, and a
bunch of in-between text writing. The music was semi-decent but
fun. I really like how the beginning music starts off and goes
into a Christmas mood. This is slightly better than CDA's XMAS
demo so if you felt that was good then you'll enjoy this one.

Ok, looking past the bad (obviously) setup screen the main problem
with this demo was Cascada using three backgrounds--text on text on
text. This made some of the text hard or impossible to read.
Interesting text writer--looks somewhat like what FC used in their
"theparty" demo. There are definitely some interesting background
effects in this "party intro." Done to advertise the Computer
Crossroads, Sweden, May 1993.

Stereo Sound blaster sound! Decent computer voice saying "It's
time for techno" is a part of this package. This demo has an
excellent credits screen showing a picture of all the coders in
the group. "The future's so bright I gotta wear shades." This
demo was a nice change of pace from what is the norm. I have a
feeling digitized music and pictures will be making more of an
impact in the demo scene. This group could be on the leading edge.
The "Twilight Zone" series was one of my favorites. Get this!
BTW, I have included their SCOPE program with the LZH file.

Every so often a demo group (like Future Crew) pushes the standard
a little higher with their demo. Extreme has done exactly that with
Techno Holic. Period vector objects, a text writer similar to what
the Future Crew used in their pre-party II intro. The super amazing
multicolor hollow snake effect was unique. Logoplasma, a quick
ball vector part, shade patterns and of course a trademark cool
"The End" ending. There are many short parts making up this "unreal"
demo by Extreme. If only there was more music.

be known as ECARGXUS in case you have it already. Contins some
cool vector rotating stuff--house, computer--in a bright color

running where it is possible to see the pistons moving. Between
each of the few parts of this demo is a flying letter writer.

Who has the best trainer group? Apparentely TPC does. That
is what the large bouncing scroll wants you to believe.
The video game middle segment has good spaceship animation--
perhaps this group should be making games as opposed to
training them. This demo finally ends with a raytraced picture
of a joystick and phoney coder graphic. Short with no music.

Here comes santa in his sled, and there goes santa--too quick if
you ask me. Santa's resoulution looked good for those milli-
seconds he was full size passing by. The Christmas graphics and
year change give this demo a holiday thumbs sideways. Perhaps
when TS gets a musican they will be able to make the music come
out of BOTH speakers instead of one and barely the other.

Ansi graphics with color bars make up the beginning and end of
this demo, however, it is not as lame as it first seems. The main
coded section has a well done 3D graphic picture of the groups name,
a unique see-saw come-at-you type scroll, and a bunch of blue dots
doing something in the background. This demo seems to basically be
a contact-intro (as its name says) for musicans. The music makes
this demo an in-your-face-we-need-a-musician demo.

Mostly vector demo (part 1 runs in 16 color high-res. VGA mode, but
it is so smooth), Really Real-Time Mandel-Zoomer, but raster is
a little small (60x50 or so ;-). Also there is a bitplane maping on
cube, delay-dot objects, plasma.

This is GSD's first demo. It contains "C & C music factory" music for
the SB--but I could not hear it since this would not work on the
computer I use with a SB pro. A scroll and moving GSD logo are also
in this small demo. A major flaw is the fact that as the logo's
routine gets more complex the scroll goes slower. Oh well.

One of the best demos on this list. And at 2.3+ megs of disk space
I can see why it should be. This demo has a bit of everything--
vectorballs, flying objects(amazing), plasma, scrolls, and even
stereo music for those with the soundblaster pro. Fourteen parts
in all. Simply fantastic--hope you have a fast computer though.
The only downfall is the music-initialization scheme--POW!

Definitely one of the best demos on the PC to date. Starts out with
a nice setup, a WONDERFUL textured vector walk thru similar to Wolf
and then an "Indiana Jones" like scene where you are chased by a vector
ball thru a maze. Plasma, a train track fly thru, and a nice ending
top it all off. The muzak is good and fits the demo well. The gfx
are way above average, and the coding is top-notch. Dust is very
origional, and very creative. The KB LED's flash with the music.

Fast vectors on a 486 33! So fast that I had to flip the 486 down
to 10 Mhz to be able to better read the scroll and text. A single
color sine scroll they use varies in speed as the vector graphics
move around the screen--most likely not done on purpose. There is
a nice mirror effect, okay graphics, and a "choppy" scroll.

One of very few that has done a demo without being in a group. This

The "sea-sick" scroll moving in an up-and-down manner explains the
reasoning behind this demos name. The scroll, besides the wavy
motion, has a mirrored effect. Unfortunately the scroll slows
because of the message that appears in the center of the screen.
There is also a VLA logo which fades between red and blue. VLA's
first demo, in fact keys 1-4 (for testing) are still in this demo.

An excellent D&D (sword, gold, wizard, skull) 640x480 picture
impressed me the most about this demo. Of course the "Yoo, hoo.
I'll make ya famous" Young Guns saying along with the shooting
of an Amiga workbench disk and flushing it off the screen will
bring a smile to any PCers face. A Skull & Bones section and
firework credit section conclude this demo.

this demo lots of demo-groups greet Majic 12.. Why? Watch this demo!
Note: It runs okay on Tridents (only?) - also it's good on friend's
OAK. On other cards, the image is flashing - looks very bad. Make
yourself sure about your video card before u run this demo.
This demo contains some interesting effects, but most of them are known
on PC - like a bitplane maping, vector routines, hw-vga efects, etc..
Also there is one very impresive part on the end - R, G & B light
flying around the gray ball... Looks realy cool (and whole demo is

circular period scroll, unlimited bobs forming an infinite sign, and
a movie ending with winding vector balls are the things you shall
see if you get this demo to run. Hear nothin and see somethin.
