I was the last weekend at the euskal party # 10 (in Spain). It´s true that there´s no the feeling of the early years of the amazing demos like Control, like the Keefrens years.
I went 2 euskal party since their 6th edition. There were really amazing intros, demos, music & gfx... i rememba the "flame-wars" when amigans and pc ppl were watching the compos in the vidi-wall, how we scream when a peecee demo just explode in the screen, etc....
but that kind of "party" starts 2 go down, and now, all u can c there is a 90% of ppl with 100 writable cd´s, just for DivX and some games, a 9% playing quake tournaments, and a 1% with some demos and that kind of stuff.
i´m a crazy fanatic of demos, intros... i´ve thousands of productions, early ones, modern ones...
but it´s really sad that nowadays the scene went down, at least in Spain (i notice that there´s lot of work out there yet).
The best of all those demos was that if u take a look 2 "spaceballs" (for example), u can watch a complete videoclip, with amazing music, with incredible gfx and syncro... all in 2 dd floppys, and with just 1 mb and 7 mhz...
so...
what´s happening now??
where all that work, hard & intesive went? :-(
