Amiga OCS Demo Won at Assembly 2010 Demoparty

[pVC]

What, 1992 era technology not oldskool enough? It's 2010. If my A1200 were a person, it would be old enough to vote (at least in the UK) by now

But if the hw was too ahead of its time? Starstruck won the main compo few years ago.. with A1200/060/AGA against the beefy mainstream PCs

But yes, as the AGA has been the main platform for Amiga demos long time there should be a proper compo to fit it. It just isn't fair to keep it in same category with modern HW... even though it might not be fair for 8-bit computers to have it on same compo with them Maybe it would be time for midschool compos too.

It's clear that you don't get 060/AGA and other midskool entries with these rules at least. But who knows if you could get enough if you'd have own compo for them. I think it could even be possible to retrieve that part of the scene at Assembly in the future as there isn't many parties left for them at all... Breakpoint was the only good party fot them, but what happens now.. remaining amiga scene might be looking a new place to go and why not more competition from other midskool platforms too Assembly is big, has history and is stable, so there might be a chance.

In any case, the most of the amiga sceners aren't even thinking to release demo at the Assembly because of the compo categories. I'd be interested to make demo there too, but with current categories I'll rather release it elsewhere.

I wasn't impressed by the demo... And still the same 2x (160x120, doubled) pixels in most scenes we have seen for years... This is ugly...

Yes, seen for years on AGA and 030/50+, but can you say you've seen anything similar on OCS before?
