I love this very much now! I have watch many many times! Some of the fx are just older upgrades of the old fx of Graham but still good. Too much art and good music in this demo!
Especially watch the really nice gfx from Mermaid at the end scroller!

One of my favoritest C64 demos!

un-f***in-believable. it starts off with a surprising and perfectly executed idea... and it gets even better from there.

incredible effects, superb gfx, flawless overall concept and beautiful soundtrack

Very impressive, nice design and code. Can be enjoyed by everyone, but I think us old C64 coders appreciate even more all the work that has been put into this.
Btw. how long has Crossbow been active on the C64-scene? I remember seeing demos from him in the late eighties when I was a newbie, and he was a vey good coder already then.!
rulez added on the 2002-05-19 18:32:31 by Sdw Sdw
Cool stuff :-) It's a bit funny running it in vice and seeing "Thanks for using a real C64" though, but I guess that's part of not owning a functional C64 anymore :-)

Watched it in WinVICE at the same time as the video version (111 MB), couldn't spot any differences, only some minor timing issues.

Great demo by Crest, good effects. Deekay is the man!

This was the first demo i ever saw! I had gotten Nur Toten Frauen Sind Schön from my sister at cristmas. And this was on the second CD. I think i was 12 or 13 at the time and i ahd no idea what the hell a demo was, i still thaught it was a demostration of a game :P But i still rember thinking it was awesome....but not really getting the point of it.

This is one of the first demos you show people new to the C64 or the demo scene in general. While it wasn't groundbreaking codewise, I don't think this demo has been surpassed when it comes to the combination of music, graphics and flow. This is quality, pure and simple.
