Here is the 64kb demo which won the Party 2k

[RCK]

Ok, this is not one pure Oldschool prod.

But ! this 64k demo has just won the Party 2000, and it is really impressive.
(really really, I can't understand how they can store this music in 64kb...)

Enjoy

This is the final version you've been waiting for so long. We
apologize for the delay, but we wanted to test this on as much
configurations as possible before releasing it to the public
(plus, we had to make space for the bugfixes, the icons, and
of course the hidden part while still being <64kb).

Brilliant. I was very impressed with that. How do they get it down to 64k and judging from the quotes in the credits they got it down to less than 60k and filled the rest with lots of credits.

Wow is there somewhere I can find more of these?

Thanks to D4r4 for the news...

here is the "small" music part of the Demo, which will uncompress 150 Mo of wav file from one 37 Ko file...

uncredible ! but real !!!!

if you go to http://www.theparty.dk/ and go to the "File Archive" section you can see what won in every category and you can download most of them.

Enjoy.

I was looking for the first post on EAB.
This seems to be the oldest post.
Is there an archive of older posts?

[Marcuz]

This is the third thread on EAB, I wonder what were the first two, that got deleted.

Meanwhile, the site linked, the produkt whatever, became the site of... a russian ham exporter?

[RCK]

Demo still available here
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1221

And yes, the other posts were internal testing or deleted, it was in 2001 with vB 2.0 engine.

[DDNI]

Thanks RCK. So EABs birthday is 25th February?

[zipper]

And that demo is really worth looking -64k wow!

[DDNI]

Yep +1 for the demo!

Kinda illustrates how big the PC Amiga gap was in 2001.

[stevelord]

Haha, yes it was a good demo. I found this looking for the oldest EAB post. I guess this must be it!
