• 64k Windows Macie baterie? by Altair
• It's cute! :-)
  
  Also it's small, the chiptune is very nice and all the cliche effects are made quite well... Although in the rotating red ball scroller, the light spot should rotate as well, no? :-P
  
  Question: How difficult would it be to keep rendering the effects during the transitions?

• demo invitation Linux Windows VIP 2 by Popsy Team [web]
• After two years, I am now certain that this invitation is the best demo until now. And using FF was just brilliant. Rock music bores me to death if it's not really good. This, however is simply excellent design. In fact, I think that FF should thank Popsy Team for using their track, as VIP2 really makes it sound alot better.
  
  I just wish I could thumb up twice.

• 64k Windows Dast by Power Rangers
• well, some scenes could use some more work to rule... The music is good if you are into techno. I can't resist it, I love raytracing :-)

• demo Windows light demo by MDR [web]
• this shows once again that vocals are not exactly easy :-) Also that French people should avoid saying anything in English :-P
  
  Finally, make demos, not war!

• demo Windows St0pW33d!!! by woodtower [web]

  (My taskbar kept popping up, though)

• demo Windows AlphaB by Damnez Team
• Nice little demo. The city scene needed more detail and some textures that are missing. In general, models and movement needed more work. The music was nice in itself but did not fit the demo imho. I liked the tank and the loader! :-)

• demo Windows 6th June by Syn[Rj] [web]
• gfx+music in this demo feel soooo oldskool... Where did you find these guys? :-)
  
  Anyway, it's fast, memory friendly, with nice textures, rather small (no mp3 :-)... It also uses 2d effects over the 3d scenes which works great for me. The music could be better, though and the landscape part a little shorter. Good work! :-)

• demo Windows Dark Train by Deathless [web]
• Call me crazy, but I like the colors (typical) and I loved the font, although the scroller could be somewhat faster. The streched textures are not nice. First music is so-so, the second is quite good. The engine seems solid. Kudos for the loader with the chiptune! :-) It does however need 250megs to run (all to itself, that is...)
  
  It's not a masterpiece but, especially for a first demo this is quite solid.

• demo Windows Introducing Extensive Studio by Extensive Studio
• ak: VIP2, State of Mind, Cadence and Cascade had ripped music that I did not know before watching them. In all these cases the music was used very well, they fit the demo nicely, and credits were given. Hans Zimmer falls into a different category in my book. I guess of course that it's also a matter of taste :-)

• demo Windows Introducing Extensive Studio by Extensive Studio
• What ruined this demo is the pace. It was just too fast. This made the music changes erratic, scenes popped up faster than the eye could follow etc. I guess these guys were so afraid of making a boring scene replayer. They should now that pace is better served with action on the screen, not by just slamming all the parts faster than light.
  
  The white flashes did not work for me. There are better ways to give tempo. White flashes are better in techno demos, and this is not like that :-) The fine models in the begining look so much better with anti-aliasing. I think they should have forseen and used that. On the other hand, I did like the light maps, even with the minor engine errors. Some jpeg textures looked awful. And that's quite bad because you only have to pay little attention when compressing them.
  
  Ripping music is not good. Unless you do it with music that is not known and you do it very well. As I said, music editing was brutal, and on top of that, seeing 'Hans Zimmer' on the credits does not show very well. :-) Finally, this needs some 200megs to run. At times where 128meg computers are still being sold, needing 256megs to run a swapping-like-crazy demo is exagerated imho.
  
  It is obvious that Extensive Studio wanted to make a 3DMark-like demo and for that I don't blame them. It had great potential, nice moments, it just needed more work.
