• Excellent concept which breathes a lot of life into otherwise completely standard demo effects. Sometimes the composition appears a bit sloppy but at the end of the day it's a strong prod. Would be nice to get rid of the rendering issues so apparent when there are clean geometric forms in the textures.

• demo Windows Imaginary World by ADDiCT [web]
• Maybe one really good looking scene which the screenshot is from. The rest is stuff that's been seen a million times already accompanied by a music that's nice and smooth, I'd play this in the party sleeping hall. Not actually all that bad, I may keep it on my HD but far from memorable or even interesting.

• demo Windows Optical by ADDiCT [web]
• Thought I'd give it a chance but couldn't watch it thru the second time. A couple of nice effects here and there but that's about it. There are also some quite ugly compositions to balance it off. The first scene seems to go on for ages and later some get recycled... Was indifferent to the soundtrack.

• demo Windows Volatile by ADDiCT [web]
• I watched it over and over again, wondering if it's deserving of a thumbs up. I must say I like it enough for that but this suffers from the same thing addict's television does, it just seems a little rough on the edges.
  
  Things like fonts lacking any stylizing and the kaleidoscope-tunnel walls showing the credit sprites that were also on the screen just does not look good. Also I feel the glowing cubes should've really glowed, now there were flares in their center at times which really annoyed me. Finally, the last effects aren't much to look at, I would've hoped to see the best stuff when the vocals kick in but that just was not to be I guess.
  
  Anyway, could've been better in some ways but doesn't detract from it enough to make it a piggy in my mind.

• demo Windows Television by ADDiCT [web]
• This could've been awesome. Classic style worked well here, the noise part was a good concept but poorly realized and I dislike windows hard drive partitioning program screenshots (or whatever it was). That said, for me the blending that others have complained about does work here.
  
  Gets better as it goes forward but ends a bit abruptly in my opinion. Great concept takes it a long way, pretty nice but far from perfect. Reminds me of some of Komplex's stuff, xtal remake getting closest maybe.
  
  Hard call but I think it's missing just a little bit for a thumbs up. Definitely worth checking out though.

• demo Windows PreAMPLI by ADDiCT [web]
• Not bad and technically nice for it's time but it's just not interesting. The hallway followed by a mystical woman idol object manages to look quite nice but the butterfly part depicts nature far worse than what we saw with pulse's sunflower and the rest is all pretty much flawed in one way or another. Nothing is really connected to anything else either.

• demo Windows Miracle by ADDiCT [web]
• I like the way the transitions are done and I thought turning for the shadows of the row of cubes was very subtle camerawork. The music's also really cool, this is a demo I'd bust out at a party and play for the guests. The scenes just are very average or maybe slightly below so only a piggy.

• demo Windows Full Moon Madness by ADDiCT [web]
• I like my flybys but this one's just ugly and boring & not the least bit creepy. Poor/blurry textures and reminds me of some of the other addict stuff which I also don't like the least bit. Funny how they have a couple of really good (abstract) ones to balance it off.

• demo Windows Mind Machine by ADDiCT [web]
• Surprisingly well crafted considering it's been rushed in a couple of days. Can't escape the fact that it's old hat and rather ugly though. I particularly object to the color scheme. :P It's one of the better ones on my thumbdown list though.

• demo Windows Time Machine by ADDiCT [web]
• If there was anything more than a 3D engine here it could still be okay but this seriously reminds me of Incoming Future by Gods. I also doubt the texture work could be praised even back in 2000. Also, average camera work.
  
  The positive part is that there's a real theme going on here and it's only semi-meaningless 3D...
