Finally, I found the intro and demo mentioned in the vectorball scroller in Saga! Thanks to Exocet/Demozoo. This was made by Stone & Vioon who later formed Dust.

They claim it was the first megademo on the PC, but there was of course the Space Pigs Megademo a month before. I'll forgive them for not having a month old demo from another country in the BBS/disk swap era. :) It was probably the first VGA megademo, however! Demozoo claims it has PC speaker music but I didn't hear any in DOSBox; will have to try PCem too. Has some cool sine scrollers, vectorballs, line and filled vectors, and an end scroller. Not mindblowing for early 1991 Amiga, but for PC at the time, pretty good! Not sure if "X-Hausted" was an older group name or demo name.

This download also comes with the "Bounce" intro they released a couple months later.

Nice piece of history, good job digging it up!

The scrolltext does say that 'Xhausted' is the megademo's title. I don't think this is supposed to have music at all - none is mentioned in the credits (and PCem is silent too).

If the release date was any later, this would've been a clear thumbs-down... what with the total silence, and the artwork being very basic with that "my first VGA paint program" look. ;) As it is, oink.

If I understood the scroller correct there was some problems with the music (they suggested to put some other music on :) ).

It's pretty nice for an early PC megademo except the lack of music. Actually I don't even recall watching it back in the days but at that time I was doing good old disk-swapping.

historical thumbs :) even if looks pretty bland and has no music either on a real PC
