Post by: DeQuevedo on October 10, 2002, 01:10:04 PM
Hi Dudez

Mines are:

OCS: Technological Death
AGA: I don´t have a favourite one! My HD is loaded this THOUSANDS of AGA demos that i haven´t seen yet.

On A500 - State of the Art and 9 fingers were the demos that impressed me most when I was little  :-D

Which are the best PPC demos you have seen?

I hope that when AmigaOne/Pegasos are out a renaissance of the Amiga demoscene will come along with them.

It should be Arte / Sanity. 9 Fingers was also shocking. This was the end of the best Amiga period of time. Then, when "they" (the rest of the Amiga users) switched to AGA, everything changed and the 5fps texture mapped cubes appeared

To pick a favourite is not easy to do, there is way to many, but a few that come to my mind our Kefrens Desert Dreams, Spaceballs STOA/9 Fingers, Substance by Quartet i think it was and quite a few Sanity productions.
On the AGA/PPC side of things, Deathtrial by Mankind has it all to.

There is loads of top quality AGA stuff to.. which there titles don't spring to mind atm.

OCS: Arte/Sanity
AGA: ufff I don't know I like a lot of them, for example Tint/TBL, Phase One/Capsule, Lapsuus/Maturefurk... and I can't remember the name of many of other demos I liked...

But I find some well known demos boring: When we Ride Our Enemies/Skarla (for me it's nothing but a nice engine) Alien (I can't remember the group, but it's the same, a 3d engine and that's all)
and intros also: The castle/loonies...
well, in peecee it's very common for example i've seen an intro called das product/fr8 or something similar, it's technically amazing because it packs a lot of istuff in 64kb, but it's booooooring. I prefer others like 7 heaven, they are worse technically but I prefer them.

For me ... the 'Pink Floyd - The Wall' demo.

(If any one has got and can do me a copy, I'd be most grateful!)

- Jar.

Best OCS: Hardwired/Silents and Crionics

Best AGA: Captured Dreams/The black Lotus (pity about the end)

Although there are so MANY brilliant demos. Too many to list.

Desert Dream/Kefrens, Gift/Potion, Concrete and J'_/Ephidrena, Smokebomb/Ozone, World of Commodore/Sanity, Interference/Sanity, all Polka Brothers stuff like Friday at eight, The Prey, ...

I'll stop now...it's just impossible  ;-)

Freezers - Wit.Premium

Now thats a nice one -  runs one-frame on a vanilla  a1200. Has a superb soundtrack.

Also:
TLU - Mortality

One of best themes, that I have ever seen in a demo.

I've always liked Neural Assault by RAGE (BP BP BP BP ;-) ) and No future (don't remeber who made it) was nice too. They had ripped the death star run scene from, Return of the Jedi.

btw been ages since I watched any demos, and those too are the only ones I have left ;-)

I've seen an ECS Demo named Fatal morgana, that i've download in Back to the roots
I'm downloading some other, an when i'll see a good one, i'll tell you.
I've used to like "La démo des félé 1 et 2", who are the best 2 demo i've ever seen
They are frensh demo, speaking about Atari, T.V,
Songs : "On dit beuh, ce sont des arabeuh, jean marie va les ré-expédier" (chui pas raciste mais ca fait délirer!)
I'd really like to see them again, so if you ear somthing downloadable about "La démo des félés" , (où on voit les félés de lustucru) write a message, that's a great fun demo without scrooling and effects. Only gags !

My favourites are the usual ones that people choose - State Of The Art and 9 fingers by Spaceballs, CyberCinemaTastic and The Castle by Loonies, Lapsuus by Mature Furk, Desert Dreams by Kefrens.  I used to like Jesus on E's but I've gone off it recently...

I don't really like TBL demos - they're all a bit "samey" and have pretty poor performance on 060 when you compare to similar demos from other groups.... they spent too much time coding PC's I think to remember what optimisation is l)

On OCS/ECS: ARTE/Sanity, Desert Dream/Kefrens, 9Fingers & State of the Art/Spaceballs, Hardwired. Most of the Andromeda stuff (Sequential, D.O.S., Mirror etc.). Some Lego intro's were quite cool.

On AGA: Nexus 7/Andromeda, Relic/Nerve Axis (I wonder why nobody suggested this one so far), MegaDemoIV/Artwork, most of the TBL stuff (Glow, Tint, Goa, Captured Dreams, Rain, Perfect Circle), Hotstyle Takeover/Loonies (for running in one frame), The Law & Repugnance from Powerline, most of the Mellow Chips demos, Motion/Bomb.
4k Intros: Exploder & Azure stuff.

The most impressing PPC 64k intro so far: Planet Potion by Potion.

Have you ever seen the PC demo "Heaven 7"?

Probably the best demo ever created on any platform.

(downloadable from pouet.net or orange juice)
