• demo Acorn Acorn Archimedes Demo by Zarchos
• I love how the objects don't scroll nicely on pixel boundaries, but randomly jump around. What's the point of 50 Hz screen updates if you're not doing actual smooth scrolling?
  I bet it's because it's compiled sprites that can't be placed with pixel-accurate precision.
  The flicker adds some more of that 'not quite Amiga'-vibe.
  Not the platform's fault btw.

• demotool TI-8x (Z80) HoustonTracker 2.00 by Irrlicht Project [web]
• I really liked this!
  I'm working on some sound routines myself, for PC speaker, and I may be able to use/adapt some of the ideas from this tracker :)

• 128k cracktro MS-Dos grand prix circuit: the cycles cracktro by Future Brain Incorporated
• I always liked this one. One of the first proper crack intros I've seen on early PC, which actually looks like a crack intro as we know them from C64 and Amiga.
  Nice graphics and colours (EGA), and uses hardware trickery to get perfectly smooth scrolling.

• demo BBC Micro Some Nasty Effects by CRTC
• CRTC, converting 'some nasty effects' to high-colour, high-detail graphics as usual!

  jmph, I'm afraid there is no easy way to fix the audio sync

  
  
  Well, there is the ghett0-fix we used at the party: adjust the timing of effects until it looks good on a specific system.
  In this case, we could adjust the 'mugshot' to appear shorter, so that the endpart should start at about the same place as before.

  We just happened to get lucky with the party capture, but the exact changeover point depends on the exact speed of the floppy drive's spindle and stepper motors.

  
  
  Yes, but I think the biggest impact is that by adding the new CGA graphics, some parts are now larger than before, so they take longer to load/decrunch/preprocess. Also, this may have changed the position of the files on disk (there are now more files as well), which may have resulted in larger seek times for certain parts.

• demo Amiga AGA Master Control Program by Desire [web]
• Nice demo. I really like the music, it sounds very 'Amiga' to me, since it seems to capture that early 90s 'doskpop' synth vibe that was so popular in classic Amiga demos like Enigma and World of Commodore.
  
  I also like the post-processing-effects on the 3d scenes.

  Also, using Paula's modulation feature in a demo, might actually be a worlds first :)

  Accelerated AGA? An Amiga 500 is all you need :)
