looking for a particular demo
« on: April 23, 2010, 05:39:43 PM »
Anyone remember this one demo where there was a rotating cube, with different graphics on each side and played a kick ass (really fast) rendition of what sounded like it could be from The Phantom of the Opera? I don't remember too much else about it, 'cept maybe it featured the Green Acres theme song w/ samples of their voices....  Or was that a different demo?

This would have been late 80's, very early 90's...

No, this was not a cracked or pirate thing at all. It was a real legitimate demo that was quite long (one disk I believe though). And never heard of Pouet. Will have to look into that sometime... thanks!

Oh, then you have missed something!
pouet.net :: your online demoscene resource
http://www.pouet.net/

They got most demos made for all systems ever!
Pick a demo group etc and you can see all their work and download them and fire it up on your Amiga (or UAE)!

Edit: for example here are some of Crystals work!

Or why not Farlights quite impressive list? From 1986 to BreakPoint 2010!
http://www.pouet.net/groups.php?which=44

The only thing following demo will ever fire up on is a video player. Don't miss the highlight though, the tunnel effect. Masterpiece.

Okay... so my computer wants to save these files as a .txt file. I've download stuff like this before (where in the browser, it shows all the binary/hex stuff), but it helps to know what the file format is. ADF by any chance? Guess I'll give that a try...

-edit-

Nope, these are not .adf files  :(

@Einstein... you saying the programs off this site require a video player? What kind? Is it available for a computer that was produced on planet Earth for humans? lol  

The Demo I am looking for came on a magazine disk that I bought in a retail store I believe, else I wouldn't have had it. I was hardly into the BBS scene in the late 80's, so highly doubt it came off the 'net' back then.

Okay, got that figured out, thanks halvliter'n.

@som99.... that certainly is NOT the demo. First off, it's a reggae tune (slow as shit) and the cube is a LARGE lame ass dot matrix type thing. The Demo I am thinking of is a small cube, solid, rotates extremely slow or quick to the music, has different impressive graphics on each side and plays a much funkier and upbeat type of tune...

No, I'm saying that sole demo (among a good number) requires that. It's a tragedy since it can never be open sourced.

Thanks my Demo connection from Sweden  :)   I actually recorded the audio of this demo to tape and currently have it (just have to narrow it down) in audiophile form. Recorded using a Nakamichi, Dolby C, Maxell MX tape and all that good stuff. When I find the tape, I'll make a (insert your favorite compression scheme here) file out of it if I can't get her narrowed down.
