View Full Version : A megademo from around 1990

I remember the loading music for this megademo, because it had such an addictive melody. The loader had a white scroll at the bottom center of the screen which had "modulo"-perspective (the letters were taller at the bottom of the scroll than the top) and I think it went from white (bottom) to gray (top) with a copper shade. I also think it had some stars, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thing is, I can't remember the group name! I have it on my old Amiga disks somewhere but I can't get to them now.

As I remember it had some pretty nice megademo parts but nothing super duper special, and I don't think its from one of the super famous groups of the time (around 1990).

Not much to go on I know, but does someone go "A-ha!" when I ask for the megademo with the most addictive loading music? You'd sit there and not click the mouse because you wanted to hear the music! :)

Nope. Maybe I should have described it some more:

1) It's a track megademo, no CLI.
2) It loads the loading part, from which it loads the individual demos, and returns to in between demo parts. (A regular track megademo, if you wish ;))
3) The music is not spacy, it's not super funky, just a good song.
4) The music is not the standard "ST-01" type sound that was usual for those times. It's not the SID type player with synthesized waveforms either.
5) Somewhere in the back of my head something tells me the group name started with A, but I'm not AT ALL sure.

No. Sorry that I don't have more info. I think it's the addictive music and the modulo scroll (see above) that might make a bell ring.

Dragons Megademo ? http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3841

a very addictive loader music remix of Ghost'n'Goblins in BP Soundmon by Sebastien "ZZzax" Lentfert.

A really good Megademo in his time and a WHDLoad install exist for it http://www.whdload.de/demos/Dragons_Megademo.html :)

No, sorry. Dragons Megademo had some nice music though, who made the rest of the songs? As for the code, well, I enjoy more advanced ideas ;)

FOUND IT!

It was the sine scroller that was white... the modulo scroll was blue. Loader music sticks in your mind like glue. :)

It was simply the Dual Crew Megademo:
