I am bored, let's start a nice forum game. Cite some words from some famous demo. It can be either from a scroller, a voice sample from a music, a hidden message, whatever, but it has to be recognizable. I mean, don't add something from a totally unknown, thousand years old little intro which nobody knows.

Let's start! Which demos contain the following words:

"Danger! Do not try to read this text..."
"Another way to scroll..." (Duh, can't be easier.)
"The meaning of life is to become a legend!"
"And my boyfriend can make you disappear!"

Hm, maybe it's a bit easy, but that's just stage one. :)

Hey, these are all pc demos??

Here are some from me, all from amiga:

- "Raytraced scrollers are forever" (Too easy)
- "And last and least Facet" (Haha, that's a hint)
- "..because this font has no numbers" (But it did)
- "..of Skid Hallo penetrates you with"
- "If you can read this, you are pretty good at reading stupid scrollers"

Maybe not 100% accurate, but still.. Someone should be able to figure them out. :-D

@tomcat:
the first one is triton's "crystal dream II", I'm sure.
second one.... was it second reality ?
for the rest I don't know. tell it some time in this thread so I can get and watch them :))

the boyfriend thingie is from Melrose "This World Is Bullshit" Space

I think I remember "Raytraced scrollers are forever" from Nexus 7 by Andromeda. Here's a couple for you:

- "... but the trend goes never use 8x8 pixel fonts... Fak off! I code for myself!"

- "How about eating some bollocks..."

(maybe these aren't right word for word but you get the idea)

"walter kluge didn't find the hidden bart"

"Danger! Do not try to read this scroll...", not "text" I believe, from Crystal Dream 2
"Another way to scroll..." - Second Reality (was actually a bitch to read that text :)
"..of Skid Hallo penetrates you with" - I think I know this one, a Dutch production on A500, but I cannot remember the title :( I believe it also had some weird Dutch/French quotes in it, like "snode ...", "du pair de socks" or whatever...

How about:
"Thanks to IBM for inventing this stupid PC standard" (or something to that effect)
"Is this writer slimy or what?" (whatever :)
"kill a commie for mommy"
"Scrollers suck"
"...demolish some more..."
"The alien is now so dead, the skin is falling off his head"
"wow! a shaky starfield in a border"

(yea I know, probably not word for word, my memory is not that great :)

I am surprised nobody recognized my third one. "The meaning of life is to become a legend" was in the endscroller of The Desert Dream by Kefrens.

Kill a commie for mommy is Fairlight's slogan, seen in many productions, like, for example, the Platoon cracktro.

Scrollers suck: Panic from Future Crew.

Demolish some more: umm, perhaps Desert Dream? I know I've seen it these days...

The alien is now so dead, etc: It's Desert Dream, after the pyramid has shot the melonbomber down.

New ones for you all:

"Go ahead, make my bed!"
"It's bear battering!"
(These are from the same demos - but not easy!)

"Float robot float
And the robot floats
Let it float
It floats back to you."

"I have some really big balls. Do you want to see them?"

Btw. "how about eating my bollocks" is from the Eat My Bollocks demo on Atari ST I believe.

"I have some really big balls. Do you want to see them?" - Desert Dream again, if I'm not mistaken... on the second disk part.

The "float robot" thing is probably that Orange demo, Sea robot of love, or whatever it was called? :)

Oh, yeah, Desert Dream. :)
Float robot float - Yes, Orange, it's titled You Am I You Am The Robot.
Still waiting for the first one - until then, here's a new one (pretty easy):

"Zork was in the galaxy called Proton III"

And another one for the retarded:

"You have experienced Variform"

"Zork was in the galaxy called Proton III" - Guess... Odyssey?
"You have experienced Variform" - Gee... :) Couldn't be Variform, could it? :)

"It's bear battering!" and "Go ahead, make my bed!" are from something by TLB, maybe Mindbomb demo? And "How about eating some bollocks" is from a screen that beats a screen from Eat My Bollocks.

your mother is a

Anybody remembers where:
"HUH?!?"
is mentioned?

motherfucking giraffe!

The only quote I can remember is something about Lord Helmet being a pathetic figure and loser or whatever...

who could not quote,

"twinkle twinkle little star,
guide me to the nearest bar,
i hope it's not too far,
i'm too drunk to drive a car"

which should be rather easy

"do not try to read the fine print" anyone?

tpolm bjoear scenepoetry

how about this:

"there is radio connected into my brains"

and little bit harder :D
"saulin penis on paksu, mutta perse on vielä
paksumpi"

..., store in a dry place etc... that's from te2rb

uns3en_: I have a feeling that it's Saulin penis by Jumalauta.

What about this: "Life is a chaotic dream / future was yesterday"?
Or this: "kerran vuodessa sirkuspelle / yksinkertainen ja nopea" (not 100% sure of the wording)

unssi: hmm... Tint(?) and Saulin penis

This might be quite difficult:
"100% pure quality shit. once again."

"Do you like cars?"
"Do you like flowers?"

:)
