Which Amiga Demos have the best music? - Page 4

TCD · 08 October 2009, 20:02

With WinUAE just put the exe in DF0 and run it

ismellicecream · 08 October 2009, 20:06

Ah right - cheers.

If the file is not extension-less (as many Amiga binaries) but has a true .exe suffix, it's a good idea to use the file in A1200 mode

At least I've almost never run across an ".....exe" file in OCS/ECS old-school demos.

Hmm, http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=9392 says Amiga ECS

Since I done a few ones for Amiga Demobase, I can say there are some 'exe' demos that are A500.

gleng · 08 October 2009, 22:22

I really like the music from these:

Spaceballs - Hideous Mutant Freaks
Spaceballs - HOG
Ozone - Smoke Bomb

Huh? This is utter nonsense! What has the extension to do with the Amiga model? Nada! So this is neither a good idea nor a useful tip!

Photon · 09 October 2009, 00:59

The .exe naming started somewhen in 1991/1992 when BBSes needed an extension, I believe. Before that, Amiga had nothing to do with the 8.3 prefix.suffix of MS-DOS.

I agree that the .exe means nothing as to the filetype, just as you can rename an .exe to .iff and it still won't show a picture of the executable in DPaint

Depending on where you get the demo, the above could be useful to know, though. Many ECS-only demos have insane filesizes, like 5-10 MB, but I guess that's not a useful tip either.

I still think it's true though that files that have not been renamed from the original (StunnerDentro) to SCX-STUN.EXE run fine in A1200 mode if they are called something.exe.

Cracktros ripped from trackdisk are the exception, they are small enough and could be called anything when they're not in their native environment

TCD · 09 October 2009, 01:17

Conclusion : You can name them '<something>.woahyay' and they will run on the same machine

Or just '<something>'. Or '<something>.amigaisawesome'. You get the idea

There was this song which I have fond memories, it's the first one from Razor 1911's Voyage. Maybe it was composed by Mantronix or Codex. By the way, still love this demo.

I think it was Mantronix and Tip but I might be wrong. Nice tune anyway.

DH · 09 October 2009, 10:28

The two mods from Razor 1911's Voyage are:-

mod.overload by Mantronix & Tip
mod.undersea by Codex

waal · 09 October 2009, 10:54

Both are excellent. Just watched this demo again and the atmosphere is great.

Yes, as long as they are A1200 compatible. A lot of the good old A500 one-file demos/intros/dentros/whatever aren't. Which is why I wrote that this is not a useful tip. The filename/extension has absolutely nothing to do with any compatibility, though sometimes I wish it would be THAT easy (looks at his still not finished Hardwired fix)

rodi · 09 October 2009, 11:45

For me, some good demo tunes are :

Starstruck of Black Lotus
Arte of Sanity
Odyssey of Alcatraz
Motion of Bomb
Phenomenon of DCS
Respirator Stories of Ephidrena
Kilofix of Iris
Jesus on Es of LSD
Human Target of Melon
Smokebomb of Ozone
Cebit 90 of Red Sector
Global Trash of Silent
Ocean Machine of Black Lotus

Yeah, Mark was/is a prolific talent. He made far more tunes than we could ever have hoped to use in demos. Hence Sploosh!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Mark is still very active in the music scene. Check out www.madfiddler.co.uk.

some tunes from RSI Megademo 1 and Kefrens Megademo 8 are still in my mind...

oh another one came to my mind : Cebit 90 / RSI : Cream of the Earth

Hi peeps,

Nostalgia has a grip on me today and for the sake of it and expression a bump is inevitable. All mentioned by Frog up there are favorites of mine as well. Excellent taste Frog

. Definitely add tunes from:

Rebels Megademo2
Anarchy's Seeing is Believing
Andromeda's D.O.S
Rebels Outland
Dreamdealers Tales of a Dream
The Silents Ice
Network's Software Piracy is a Human Right (lol?)
IT & Cryptoburners Drammen Party Invitation

Pfff, this is part of the reason why I never post, so much work

Peace dudes

wouldn't normally listen to 90s rave stuff but I do like those Jesus on E's ones.

I had this crack copy of Prince persia once. can't remember the visual side that much, but I think it was this nice wavey font floating through stars and space. The music was actually the original to a youtube video dance remix? of that 100 best amiga games.

Photon · 21 February 2010, 03:52

About the topic, I like demos with music by Bit Arts, TSM, Einstein/Mexx, Uncle Tom, Firefox, Fred, Gladiator, Huelsbeck, Banana, Audiomonster, Ziphoid... the list goes on and on, just search on bitworld.bitfellas.org
