According to the IGG page, the creators of the books are from demoscene's early years, so I guess they somehow figured it out, or otherwise there would be a riot: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/demoscene-the-logo-art#/

This C64 demo from last year really blew my mind. Mainly the sequence that commences at the 8 minute mark. If I'd seen that as a kid I'd have been convinced that it was magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-22PcRAMKTg

If we're talking demos that made us laugh, Bar Brian by The Plasma Force worked for me. The cool song created with instruments taken from the Barbarian game, the funny use of the music visualiser combined with the unnecessary dong was a silly treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzWaJ-su5pE

I'm going to a vintage meet today, so fired up the Atari 1040 STe last night and ran some demos on it. It's such a great machine for demoscene stuff

The whole demo is amazing but that 100 game sequence must have been an insane amount of work. And they didn't just duplicate the graphics, they partially did the music too.

While looking for some info related to an ancient demoscene music compilation (which I hope to post when I get all the pieces together in an easy to browse form), I've found this article about the scene, or rather lack of it, in the States: https://www.vice.com/en/article/j5wgp7/who-killed-the-american-demoscene-synchrony-demoparty

Reading this now, but if the answer is anything other than "lack of ability to walk 5 minutes and get on a train that takes you directly to your nearest demoparty in 30 minutes" I will find the answer incorrect Edit: I am glad to see that was certainly a big reason. And I do like that Jim Leonard is everywhere I go on the Internet (and even in real life) to contemplate retrocomputer topics Dr. Quarex has a new favorite as of 19:48 on Jan 24, 2024 |

I think that's one I have to test on my real C64 and 1084 monitor some day to really grasp the overscan thing. On youtube it's not as impressive when you draw on the borders.

That reminds me that I was supposed to finally replace my C64 PSU with something that is not a ticking time bomb, waiting to fry the only fully functional Commie that I still have I am reading now a truly sensational book (sadly, only in Polish) about Atari XL/XE scene and the way it formed the foundation for game development industry in Poland, but it's packed with so much "you've got to be there" trivia and info, that I really wish it was translated to English, so more people could at least read about what kind of a completely different world was early computing behind the iron gate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c2jU6JRO40 "[In exchange] for our first larger production - Kasprzak demo - we got from the "distributor" on the market some sum of money. We couldn't divide them equally among three of us, so we chucked part of them through the bus window." Pirx/Our 5oft

Hell yes, nothing more authentically weirdly European than Nik Kershaw's "The Riddle" being a cultural touchstone

I love the stuff so far at Revision 2024, the Amiga intros were fun, and the PC 4K intros have some wonderful shader magic in there. I'm not at the E-Werk, sadly, stuck at home watching the stream. https://streaming.media.ccc.de/revision2024/revision/hls

Yeah, there was some truly amazing stuff this year, and so many first- and second-timers in the 4K and 64K intro compos It's always great to see some young blood in the scene, but it warms my heart as an old to see Jogeir take two #3 spots for music. Dude's been a fave of mine since I first heard Guitar Slinger in 1993. I'm getting tickets for next year, most def, perhaps finish a couple of the 4-channel mods I've been tinkering with the past few weeks, after picking up and refamiliarizing myself with Scream Tracker 3 again.
