- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo 2 by Budbrain
- Overrated. Everyone I knew liked it whereas I had and still have difficulties to grasp it. Looks like I am not so much a fan of shallow fun demos by "PooPain"; the graphics and musics are not bad though.

- dentro Amiga OCS/ECS Coffee by Y-Crew [web]
- Yeah, it's coffee (jazz) time. Drink coffee cold and never look old.
Smooth style and nice music. - rulezadded on the 2022-06-08 17:33:36
- cracktro Amiga OCS/ECS Leander +4 by Alpha Flight 1970 [web]
- Very recently I stumbled upon the last demo of Jon Burton (see link
below) who also coded the game Leander. The demo isn't a beauty but
the effects / routines are really interesting for their time (e.g. star wars
scroller, text / bitmap zoomer, parallax scrolling in front of a HAM
image, full screen sine scroller). Conclusion: talented coder who knew
one or two things.

- 4k procedural graphics Windows Dissecting the Scene Syndrome by Fulcrum [web]
- As for the screenshot. It is not an insect. It is a eukaryotic cell with its
organelles. - isokadded on the 2022-05-28 15:23:58
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Major Release by Da Jormas [web]
- Feels good to watch it. Many nice and tweaked effects from the 90s.
The music - first irritating but one can really get used to and even enjoy
it after a while - sounds highly familiar to me. Is it a cover version of a
popular (Italo?-)pop song from the late 70s / early 80s? - rulezadded on the 2022-05-17 10:13:33
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Flash for Fantasy by Sanity
- I liked it and in particular the music with the (horrible?) sax. 16Beat
could not believe it, raised his eyebrows and responded something
like:"Eh? Nothing special. A one-session production."
Now, after having listened to it again after all the years I come to the
conclusion he may was right?!
(But to be honest: I still like it :-) ) - rulezadded on the 2022-05-15 10:32:54
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Planet Rocklobster by Oxyron [web]
- Very enjoyable. Many classic but highly tweaked effects presented
straight from the shoulder with good pace and without any "Firlefanz"
(frippery).
Moreover, the source codes and a tech write-up are available :-)
The (strangely) good and remotely tribal sounding(?) music with its
very own style and mystic atmosphere is worth a mentioning, too. And
the endpart is a starwars scroller which is always a plus! All in all, a
great release I'll remember.
P.S.: I wonder if the two(?) discs full of additional effects have been
released yet? - rulezadded on the 2022-05-11 10:23:44
- 40k Amiga OCS/ECS KETAMUSKOLAR by KONEY [web]
- I had to sleep on this one a night... I acknowledge the experimenting
and the shearing, shifting and rotation of the screen content. On the
other hand, and maybe I have not grasped the avant-garde yet, two
points really make me feel uncomfortable and keep me from enjoying
this product: i) The music is sounding here and there like fingernails on
a blackboard and ii) the choice of the color palette is too dreary and
concrete-like (ash grey, mouse grey, dust grey, stone grey...) - isokadded on the 2022-05-06 10:30:18
- demo Amiga AGA THE CURE by RETREAM [web]
- Oops, a demo with a serious content and a message.
saimo, thanks a lot for your thoughts and their creative expression.
Usually, I am avoiding to watch "AGAs" since I am a child of the
A500 era, but for some reason, I guess it was because of the
comments and the title (cure is a good thing), I clicked that one and
I do not regret it. Nice effects and a very own style and mood. The
music fits very well. I like the drums and the guitar, though there are
too many notes, at least for my taste, that are played without bends,
slides or pull offs. Anyway, a captivating show and it is for sure not
the last time I have watched and listened to it.
P.S.: For fans of complex,modern and jaw dropping guitar music:
-> check out G.O.A.T. / Polyphia - rulezadded on the 2022-05-01 13:12:57
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Eon by The Black Lotus [web]
- What Scali said / 2019-04-22 18:39:42.
I like the plot and the atmosphere, and the music continued to echo in
my head for quite a while after I had watched the great show.
By the way, there is an informative talk of Kalms about "advanced
basics" with the title "High-performance code on Amiga 500"
