another smashing oldschool pc demo, great effects, cool music...
added on the 2000-09-09 16:11:40 by rez
One of my favorite demos from the old PC demoscene. - Hmm,.. I have a long time to watch some old PC demos now I am thinking it :/
Text appears: "640Kb memory should be enough for everybody - Bill Gates 1981". Then Bill Gates' face gets distorted like in a washing machine... Demo's best part? Probably! :-) I'd like to have been on the party place when they showed THAT! :-)
yea rite yea sorry for being short but what i remember is only this rotating head of billgates well what can i say 2048 sinedots on the middle of the screen no no no i mean it was so round this head a perfect circle - aaahh perfect circle, i will better go and review this new TBL's masterpiece... so see ya there!
a worthy winner of the asm94 democompo, great effects (the julias and the cave rocked), and a wonderful soundtrack by whalebone.
this was the first demo i saw, and it got me shocked for weeks. I couldn't understand how a computer could do those morphing IFS fractals at the beginning.
a great demo for it's time.

Nostalgia...
Ah, I love this demo... The Bill Gates part is leet. All these oldskool demos show some kind of innovative spirit and are full of ideas. Today everything is about 3D/more effects/brighter/faster
This one has got some STYLE :)

If this is the demo that starts off with "Is everybody in" from Jim Morrison, then I'll give it a thumbs up ;-)
this thingie never ran on everything i tried (dos/gus, dos/sb,w98/gus,w98/sb,....)
One of my favourite dos demos introducing the Washing Bill Gates effect :)) Very good , get it at once
Yeah. Cool one.
A few months ago, I noticed that there is a bugfixed version, so I was finally able to watch the whole thing (the party version just crashes after 30 seconds...).

up Bill's ass :-P
yeah! I saw this one years and years ago! Right now, I can only get it sorta-workig on my modern PC without sound, so I have no idea what the music sounds like (can't remember)... I'd love to see a Win32 port or a Divx/MPEG version.
this is the stuff
is everybody in? is everybosy in? ceremony is about to begin....
mazzzterpiesss!! ;)
a good demo, liked it a lot back then. though, i do remember liking some demos more than this at asm94.
I never knew what the fuss was with this one, other than the funny bill gates quote and effect. I actually liked EMF's other productions quite a bit better.
I like this demo very much, but the BillGatesPart is shit in my eyes. There are much better effects and a stretched face..., ok the stretching is quite perfect. Overall the demo is one of the best ever.
that "Bill Gates scene" is just great :)
is everybody in? IS EVERYBODY IN?
mr Gates aside, which part is pretty cheap, this one roolz big time. EMF was just so good...

darn... i've forgot to set rulez?
votetime now.
votetime now.
so great !!! i was so impressen by this back then...
BillG scene rulez :-) The whole demo is ok. Good oldschool prod.

Great demo with a typical demotune. Probably the first demo with this face stretching and distorting, quite much demos with similar effects followed. But nothing beats the original :)
Cool music, some nice effects. =)
Oh yea, I remember this one... Nice hires IFS fractals, a voxel (or whatever it was) tunnel, and some other cool stuff.
great stuff for it's time. leet soundtrack also.
it did rock.
After seeing it dozens of times I'm not nearly as tired of it as I'm with Second Reality (even though I like SR better). But the Bill Gates part _is_ lame.
I like this one of the best dos demos. And the Bill Gates part is not lame, even considering the fact that he never said that 640kb statement. :)
MegaMies: he stated it at 1981. http://www.thocp.net/timeline/1981.htm
...and yes - verses rocked big time around '94/95

640 verses should be enough for *burp*
it was a nice time!
it was a nice time!
stylish and incredible fun to watch!
Great music and some damn good effects for it`s time.
it did it... nice effects
It had everything, and still people voted Second Reality in the charts afterwards - well .. This one was a more than worthy winner at asm94.
Kick'd!
Kick'd!
Oldschool (at least for me) in it's purest form. Good music, varied effects and all that stuff that makes me want to be five years older so I'd lived there... :) One of the best IFS morphers ever, in my opinion.
Nostalgia
of course
damn fine voxelcave and good soundtrack
:)
What do we learn? Don't copy'n'paste too much.

rocks!
avatar: no, he didn't :) (when, exactly, in 1981, and where?)

Great back then, not so great now :) Big thumb for being maybe the best demo in its time.
A shining moment in scene history, 'nuff said.
Entertaining, funny... what else can I say?
Saw this quite often.
very nice.
Cool!
rulez ofcoz.
A stunning 1994's production that is really well made!
the end part was the first time for me to see some *design* in a demo. And it still rocks.
Rulez
one of best oldschool demos on pc. rules!
fractals over corleone familia rules.
Never quite got with this one.
great old pc demo, but the bill gates part is lame
Great demo, maybe the best on PC in 1994.
just found out that i ripped the soundtrack out of the demo back in 99. uploaded to scene.org, set a link above. enjoy!
okay, nothing brainblasting
"okay, nothing brainblasting" ??
This was fucking excellent back in 1994.

saw this way too late.
This one ruled back in the days. And still rules today. ;)
@keops: for the power of a 486er it wasn´t brainblasting, i have seen better demos on amiga1200 at this time
I love the Bill Gates part.
The Bill gates part is a killer, all the rest is OK.
quite nice design for a '94 pc demo :)
regarding the code, very nice IFS and i'd dare to say this is the first ever picture morpher?

Super
:)
solid! great music too.
nice effects+music
First demo I ever saw, so I have a nostalgia interest in this one.
coplan! :) i used to chat to you @ scenespot but using a different nick many many years ago, i would have emailed you to say hi, but i cant find one :-/
Classic
the holy trinity of oldskool pc demo with Second Reality 2 and Crystal Dream 2!
ACE!
ACE!
Love the music.
Ahh, the duck! :)
The music is so atmospheric and the demo have got a few ace effects....
rubberducky!
Bill got clean.....
ah i remember this... cool soundtrack:)
OK stuff
fucking hot stuff for being early PC stuff :)
classic
I remember this one.. great music!
First demo that made me think that amiga wasn't the only possible choice for demomaking.
I love the effects, especially the fractal morphing in the beginning
great! thanks for this
Remember this very fondly
IFS with morphing very awesome
Always loved the highres 16 color part with the morphing particles and the tune does it's thing as well.
What previous poster said.
Classic.
wtf did my thumb go?!
Quite traditional, even a bit boring. As as a demo it was still a nice experience.
what everybody said =)
classic
A must-be-seen.
Yep, other comments say it all.
Very inspirational production, it encouraged me to try some assembly coding on a PC.
Nice production, actually. And yes, samples from The Doors' song are also nice. Hmm.
They know their fractals.
One of the finest. The music has a real theme, visuals and effects are pleasant and the overall design works with a moderate amount of humor included.
The tunnel part is really interesting.
this demo was brillant, the exec was ridiculously small, music, sync, FX, BRAVO!
Great music and show.
