- demo MS-Dos/gus Oedema animae cogunt by Rustbloom
- Interesting and rather unusual concept and target platform. Great to see not only many DOS entries but different eras (Pentium, 486, 386). I couldn't help but wonder how much of this, if any, was done in VGA text mode, which has smooth scrolling and remappable characters. But that would be 720x400, not 640, wouldn't it?

- The julia-morph "tunnel" and 3D blob in rain water with fluid dynamics were very cool effects! The color scheme and gfx added quality to it, reminded me of TEK's stuff. The music wasn't synced up to the effects quite as well as Demoded.
I tried it in PCem with Pentium MMX 233 processor (probably not exact hardware speed, but hopefully more accurate than DOSBox). It ran very well with little slowdown. I figure that would make it comparable to late 97-mid 98 DOS demos, which would have made it a very impressive release for the time. I guess that's "oldschool" enough for the Assembly compo. :) Well done!
re: Navis' last comment, I'm guessing the tunnel was an animation since there's an anim lib in the source. - rulezadded on the 2025-08-03 17:58:26

- intro Amiga OCS/ECS ...And One Up The Sleeve by Lemon.
- The column count is growing, but the row count is shrinking. :) The 80-wide pic rotozooms in one repeating loop and the scroller stops after a few seconds. Seems some corners are being cut. :) All the different approaches are cool to watch though, and impressive even if I have little to no technical knowledge of the Amiga 500 chips. The music and logo are good too and I think that's an important part of these record breakers.
A great quote from Wired magazine, "Demo or Die!", July 1995:
"Somebody released a demo saying, Look at this, we can get 64 BOBs running around on screen. So, of course then somebody said, 64? I can get 68. - 68? I can get 80. - 80? And so on.... It got to around 200. One of our guys was a particular fan of the BOB war and was determined to win it. Eventually," says Jolyon, "it was won by someone who did infinite BOBs, but that was really a big cheat. But they were all cheats, so it didn't really matter." - rulezadded on the 2025-07-20 18:50:57

- Fun concept and execution, with a surprise ending, though I could see others copying the idea. Reminded me of this oldie.
