Planetside (CDTV) demo
I never really thought the CDTV was any good… but the summer I spent in local computer shops gawking at the plane is just… sweet innocence. It’s a bit cliché, but I get that “stand by me vibe” when I think about it. The amiga was at it height, civilization, pinball dreams. Console “wars” where running high with the snes building momentum and sonic out on megadrive. I was free for the whole summer, no work, no school no obligations… And my biggest worries where things like DD disks where expensive and coke would ruin my teeth if I drank it all day. (Actually, the last one is still a problem) Quartex/Aliance design – Substance For classical demos it’s substance. A good (none eurotechno) tune, pastel coppers and friends to share it with. Skidrow - SWIV crack Cool starscroller, nice text and a sweet 4mat tune. Oh, and a pretty cool 2p game as well. |

For me it was TRSI Megademo and the Wild Copper demo, the first two demos I saw. The music!

Wild copper was great. For me, the budbrain demos were memorable, but all of the pre-1988 demos (even the crap ones) hold my interest, as this was when people were beginning to get to grips with the machine and experiment

RSI Megademo, Dexion Megademo I+II (Mr Mega Mind made some awesome effects), TEC/Cryptoburners amazing vectordemo(s) and TSL/Crionics Hardwired... and a special mention to World of Wonders for the nice Dungeon Master cracktro, which made me buy an Amiga in the first place

Another nostalgic demo
Talking about nostalgic demos I'd agree the Juggler Demo definitely belongs there, since for me this too was one of the first amiga demos I saw, before I got my A1000 back in 1986. A second shot might be a rare(?) and as I remember rather old demo called "RoboCity" or Robo, it was one of my first demos so it has to be from 1986.
It just had a robot walking a dog from left to right, a funny female robot with only one big eye walking from right to left, a jumping cat (one-eyed too) and a hydrant showing his muscles. It's quite a surrealistic scene and I remember this demo from the time I just got my Amiga with Mindwalker as only game bundled. At this time this absurd demo somehow fascinated me regarding the animation. No comparison to any later demos but then this is the nostalgia trail, or am I wrong |

Ooh, there's so many... I would say
"A Trip to Mars" by Tomas Landspurg. It has a lot of bugs but that just makes it better, lol. It feels like he had fun and wrote it in a frenzy The complete opposite of modern demos that are all design and slick, flawless, non-descript effects. or The D.O.C. demo that I think was on a Soundtracker release disk, with a 3D linevector mesh that deformed in sync with the music and that you could control with the mouse. Mostly because of the absolutely amazing music, it really sums it up for me. |

I take it back, the 1987/1988 new year's demo by Megaforce ("The dawn of a new age") must be one of my oldest recollections. 3D line vectors, "3D" floor and stars, mindblowing music. Their megademo isn't bad either.

The most nostalgic demo for me, not necessarily the best, is the Byterapers Chorus II demo. Probably because I was at the party where it was released, my first party attended...
Other demos that I enjoyed and find really nostalgic are: Red Sector Megademo Dexion Megademo Northstar & Fairlight Megademo III Enigma (Phenomena) Guardian Dragon (Kefrens) Mesmerized (Pure Metal Coders) Budbrain Megademo (both of them) Trashcan (Wizzcat) Neverwhere (Crionics) Hardwided (Silents & Crionics) And probably many more... |

Juggler, Tech Tech and Wild Copper for the oldskool nostalgia
There was also one with Pump Up the Volume samples and a big digitalized face of a young man moving on the music, can't remember the name tho' ....Wild Copper, with the rotating mouse pointer, soooo cool ! later on the Scoopex ones were also very impressive, but there were so many groups who released top notch demos, most mentioned already here. |

I wasn't too big on demos, I've always been a pure gamer by heart. Nevertheless, I did get some. Out of those I got, here are my favourites:
Hardwired Red Sector Megademo State of the Art (it STILL impresses me) 9 Fingers Big Time Sensuality (not sure why) There was also this interactive demo/game thingie, I think it was from Fraxxion and called Horror demo or something. You could fast forward, slow forward, slow rewind, pause etc this character who killed some other guy with a chainsaw/gun/axe/etc. It was a strange piece of software - and rather grotesque. Anyone heard of this demo? And got a copy of it? |
