- demo Windows muoto by Traction [web] & Brainstorm [web]
- Loved it, because of the style, because of how clean and relaxed this is, and because it felt a little bit like it was talking to me personally. I am not fully convinced that the chosen colour scheme was the best possible choice (I would have gone for complementaries), but I dig these colours too.

- demo ZX Spectrum Rage by X-Trade
- This demo does not start well, with its selection of boring pixel effects. But the second half is a real tour-de-force in timed codes for Pentagon, with several multicolour and border effects that set the standard even today.

- 32b ZX Spectrum we are watching for you since you were SIXTEEN by skrju [web]
- I honestly think that this is cheating, because I do not like extreme size codes and because, in my opinion, the really cool thing here is the title, which is actually more than twice as long as the code itself.
But what a title it is! - rulezadded on the 2013-11-29 23:07:01
- invitation ZX Spectrum Di: Halt 2007 zx invitation by skrju [web]

- demo ZX Spectrum Illusion by X-Trade
- "Illusion" is one of the early ZX Spectrum trackmos. It has virtually no graphics and is fully black and white, but the quality of its raster effects is still holding up even against the current generation of Spectrum demos. The design is distinctly kooky, but the effects are always fresh and the music is truly delightful.

- Now that is what I'd call a useful demotool!

- demo ZX Enhanced The Board II by alone coder & Mayhem & HOOY-PROGRAM [web]
- Given the resolution of the graphics in this demo, it is immediately clear that several effects here are absolutely top notch for an 8-bit platform. This includes the 16c raycaster and the parallax effect at the start. At the same time, the "modern" looks do not hide the fact that this is a very oldschool demo in heart. It does not care about the flow, the progression, or the culmination. It just presents a set of non-trivial solutions to specific technical challenges. Hence, it is easy to appreciate, but very hard to love. The only thing I truly love here is the amazing soundtrack.

- demo ZX Spectrum UNIT 42 by Speccy.pl [web]
- This is a lovely small demo with some striking art design (I particularly liked the parallax greetings). The music is also extremely good. To my mind, this is a very stylish way to wake up.

- demo ZX Spectrum 4D Demo 8 by Lamers & Speccy.pl [web]
- This demo is decidedly unambitious, however, it does what it does extremely well and never overstays its welcome. Add to this a furious tempo, good soundtrack, clean graphics, a good sense of humour and unusual effect mixtures and you get a winner.
