A very good work from tbl, and really nice gfx.

this prod is ugly.

this prod isn't actually ugly, i think, but repeats some standards that tbl have done before.
i really like the metaball effects like in jizz and stash, but
the 'shrooming parts and psychedelic landscapes somehow suck (although they are niceley rendered).
nevertheless, tbl is a great source of inspiration for me, still today.

TBL Demos are good but they are the same and the same again, they repeat their psychedelic style. I mostly love their 64kb intros Stash and Jizz. From this demo I loved the pics of the girls of course =)

a good production from tbl, nice 3d scenes, great graphics, too bad some of them are copies (http://www.kameli.net/nocopy/noc106.htm). The soundtrack isn't exactly Azazel's best mod either...

a nice demo in my humble opinion. nice gfx, nice music, fast-running effects, good syncronisation. a good demo!

It looks to me like TBL can't make PC demos.

Astral Blur is nothing but an insult to their name.

Yo wade:

That's perfectly okay, Haujobb is perfectly capable of making complete utter crap as well. TBL PC made a couple of earth-shattering advancements in the demo scene (Neural Wave, Stash, Contour), and just because their PC debut doesn't suit you, well err...'boo-hoo'.

Has a couple of nice things in it, not their best, but certaintly commendable. At the time their metaballs were a legendairy effort.

wtf legendary effort???

As I recall it was fudge and xtacy (both danish groups) that were first on the marching cubes wave.

i think the first "occurence" of marching cubes was 95 or 96 in a nooon demo, but i'm not sure.

anyway, 97 was the year EVERYONE started using it.

but a bit more ontopic now: astral blur featured nice code and gfx, but wasn't really designed and didn't really feel complete, so neither rulez nor sucks here :)

Why download 4MB(or how much they are?)when you can see the same and cooler stuff in their 64kb intros???
Although,..
Thumbs up though just for the girl with the tits :) (And the other cute one in the woods =)

The same psychedelic stuff from TBL.

Man... Optimus ur a true pervert. U giva thumbs up for the girls and not the prod itself. No offence intented but if u want porn check out chickswithdicks.com :)
Of course I'm just jokin' around considering how bored I am, and that I currently don't have anything else to do, and am just wastin' my life away, and blabla.
Oh yeah, and about the demo itself, I would have to agree with rac(way up).

Shifter,

Take a look at Tint, Goa and Captured Dreams on the Amiga. They were legendary efforts; this looks more like their recycled leftovers.

Some of you are a bit tough with this prod. Okay it's not perfect but I have fun watching it and it's not boring like many wannabe conceptual demos...
That's true too TBL prods on Amiga are more outstanding :)

Old, but still good. :-) (Even runs on Linux with the port of the iXalance loader ;-) )

it was terrible crap already when it came. goddamn ugly.

love it.

not my taste I guess.

Really cool demo. the tunnels however act strange on mmx/PII machines. It works well with standard issue Pentium 166/200 nonetheless.
Nice music and good 3Dplasmas

Great eye- and ear-candy for that time. The ripped graphics suck (and switching screen mode to view them), but anyway, thumbs up here.

I love this desogn !!!

design, even..

TBL is good.

i like all TBL prods :)

Although I prefer their intros, this is a must see TBL production.

nice.. but tbl amiga is better.

stash is _SO_ much more appealing

i liked it at its time because it was colorful and bright, early burps of the so-called ".nl trend" colorscheme. About the MC, I think it's optix/valhalla who first introduced them in a 64k but that's not important :)

i love the tunnel

legendary.

I think it's OK, but nothing special comparing to revolutionary Jizz or Stash. At the times I was watching it, the 3d-engine was slow like like hell, and my 14'' monitor wasn't able to display 800x600 correctly (girls images :-) so... but I like the fact I can watch it on my Linux box. It's ok.

most of it is damn ugly, but there were couple of effects that i liked. so, no thumb down.

the code was above average, the colorscheme almost pokes your eyes out (something jace always manages to do), and the music is trippy 604... tbl in a nutshell :)
i must admit that stash is better indeed.

Well, not much to say - it's a classic :)

the music is nice

but it's ugly as shit

I like it! :)

Good one, impressive on the big screen! Nice code, good music, some great gfx. It's a classic, whatever you think about it.

I like it =)

Was just wondering what the number 1 prod was :) This was OK, stash and jizz were better and only 64kb, so this gets a pig from me. Plus i remember it took hours to download on 28k modem from slow server back then!

Curious, I have never watched which prod has the number 1 here ;). Atleast a very solid demo. DOS version doesn't run anymore, but luckily there is the Windows port :)

good

Great prod.
looks like shiny colored snot

this was quite nice

aaah is the first production on pouet..? A good one indeed!

Anyone noticed if one enters which=0 the production shown is picked by random or smth?

even though i hate these kind of demos nowdays. at the time it really ruled hardcore.

great demo.

this demo is the dogs bollocks.

dutch pride !

Shifter: This is not the TBL pc debut, some Fins made this pc intro in 1996.

Comparing this thing to TBL's intro's is not entirely fair since those intros were released after this demo, not before.

Linux support

Linux support

jo

Nice effects, but as a whole, this demo is in my opinion still way overrated.

simply the best of older days :)

yes, what dominei said

can't complain.

Tint, release by TBL on Amiga a year earlier is a lot better, but I might be biased towards Amiga demos :)

Not downright bad, but not exactly good either. Piggy, then.

pretty cool. why do people thumb things down and give "linux support" as a reason, btw? are they paid agents of m$ or something?

ugly but okeyish

I love that, it was the 1st demo I've ever downloaded together with Inside (56 Kbps modem...) from Hornet in 1998!
. the music is great
. fx are nice, expecially the bump mapping
. Danny & Louie's Angel is lovely
. ixalance is really great

<<<Thumb>>>

It was a great demo, maybe a little overlooked.

nice.

great one. TBL <3

nice code... some recycled pics from captured dream... nice music... yah thumb up :)

arf, where's my thumb? you can't stop the shrooms!

yay

can i change my thumb pleeeeeeeease?!

broderick: yeah, the music is great, but it's a shame that some of the best parts are directly ripped from "man with no name". just check out the tune "evolution" from his first album.

kickasss, glory to the music and visuals in whole considering when it was made and so forth, lovely

<3 TBL

tunnels, wobbly sines, 3Ds, music

who needs shaders? :D

For the music.

For Windows XP

p.s. : Requires iXalance to run

For the coding effort.

nice demo

for the pixelled gfx

for the awesomeness

for the demo

for the bump

First demo on Pouet btw :)

How come I never thumbed this one?!

For the same reason I didn't.

#1

I very like the music.

its #1 so why try harder?

Classic one !

Uber elite #1 on pouet and its also TBL :)

I see the linux label, but I don't see a linux download...

Saw the video however

Everything except the music

great (especially the music)

What T$ said (+ what, no thumb yet?)

Good muzak.

Ok, now how bad YouTube video it is possible to make out of perfectly good demo? I think this is one kind of a record:

First you take a demo and record the YouTube video out of it using camera... and you do it free hand... while not having very steady hand... Not bad enough? Ok, you use old CRT travel television as display... and record music with the camera mic... you don't actually run the demo, but you take the video out of video... that has been downloaded from YouTube... and converted at least 2 times... With very poor quality... ending up to 256x192 resolution... and 16 colors... and then you take 25-years old (MSX2) computer and play the video on it...

Sounds bad? Yes, it is!

what wysiwtf said.

TBL rocks!

I like this classic demo

what else ?!

Same as skp.

Ixalance!

this is neat! also, prod nr. 1 on pouet :)

prod.php?which=1

This demo is cool not just because it's the first prod added to pouet, but because of the soundtrack and some graphics.

Sweet old stuff!

k

Kickass, great demo.

Classic

outsss outsss outsss outssss! Amiga music, amiga design :p
