I've not seen many msx demos...but this is really top stuff, even not considering it's platform. The music is great and the scenes & effects are very original. The best demo I've seen in a long time. A little short though...

Guess that's why it won =) sorry for saying it came second

great design!

One of the best demos I've ever seen. Lofi design at it's very best. Some of the stuff here are much cooler than most of the pcdemos nowadays. Intelligent scenes, rough and edgy objects and tasty colours.The design is also more interesting than most c64 stuff I've watched. . But the c64-sound is a bit cooler though. :)

Thank you very much, zixacEPH. I must say I put some extraordinary effort to achieve a lofi techno-organic feel to the three newest MSX demos Riyadh, Alankomaat and Vesikauhu. Unfortunately, this seemed to go largely unnoticed at the time. Technically speaking these effects draw heavy inspiration from the quasi-3D effects of the mid-90's console games, stuff that in my opinion somehow looks fresh and refreshing even compared to modern 3D effects. I do feel much of my MSX demos were too rushed and as I said, they ended up getting none or very little feedback, but you're comments make the past days of my 8-bit coding feel a whole lot more worthwhile.

If lofi flatfilled roughy objects is what you like, you might enjoy my effect in the Yellow Rose of Texas too:

Personally, I loved the scene with the birds. The cogs and pistons looked really good, too, but seemed a bit like householding compared to the more filmatic scenes. It certainly goes to prove that the MSX1 has a lot more potential than anyone knew.

A vidcap would be really nice for us lazy sceners =)

Probably my favourite Bandwagon demo, I really like the originality and the design.

One of the best MFX demos by bandwagon.
Seeing is believing.

some great effects and an odd concept: a mix of middle-eastern and industrial imagery. anyway, a great demo that should be watched by all msx fans.

nice one!

as i prefer 1x1 pixel feeling instead blurry video caps - what's best msx emulator for win? i tried bluemsx but it doesn't work well (f.e. first part of this demo looks different than on video).
rulez added on the 2005-03-10 01:21:51 by kempy kempy
You could try either OpenMSX or the traditional fMSX. My guess is neither of them handles this 100% but could be close enough.

Excellent demo. Great effects and nice music.

The best Msx demo so far. Classic!

i've always loved this.

Being an awsome demo, and the only MSX demo I've seen, I would supose it's the best MSX demo ever made. The screenshot scene rocks. And the rest too. I wasn't expecting it to be this good! wow! This actualy looks like a review! :D

A bit pretenteus, incoherent demo with couple of good screens and unimaginative music (but what can you do with a soundchip like that?). What's that hype all about?

Great stuff!

Added a .dsk version for emulators, it's indeed not a very interesting.

Some people might like demos like that, I don't! :) Sleeping pill for me.

Quite awesome :). I remember messing with an MSX when I was in elementary, I wouldn't have imagined that it could do this :)

I mean wonderful (damn typos).
This demo has lots of scenes very well designed.

WonderRoX demo!

The 1st seen @ MSX platform!

first effect (sshot) alone justifies thumb

Technically nothing particularly special in my opinion, but I like the style in many parts.

Nice demo, but neither the first nor the last screen works properly on my Sony Hit Bit 75P MSX1.

what's up about Bandwagon? long time i didn't hear a thing about them...
They pretty much quit. Some parts don't work properly with an MSX2 or the rare Toshiba VDP1.
