• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Gigademo 3 by Triangle & The Gang [web]
• A nice and enjoyable umm gigademo even tho I missed Megaman! But he had gone to pursue a game coder career IIRC? No matter, Triangle still produced and this was the big one before the formation of Phenomena. Greetings to the Ugly Faces Association section! ;)
  
  Also, I think this is where I first heard Banana's fantastic hit! Actually I think it was the WOW cracktro first but either way the thumb is biased from the start and if you ever need a nostalgia trip, look no further :)

• demo Windows Photon by Fairlight [web]
• Thumb is for the idea and the way it's presented. 3D was seriously drab tho. And ... 74MB? Where do the extra, what 69MB come from? :) Almost made me oink.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Nippon Taste by CopperSky
• Faithful emulation of 8-bit on a retro platform... but hmm without the MSX chug-chug scrolling the retro-retro feeling is completely lost!! :P
  
  Don't know what yzi is on about. If it says OCS, you run it on an OCS machine, and distributing demos as disks is still okay last I checked...
  
  Demo? Nah. And you need to show something while loading, but that's just you returning to dos with all colors set to black I think ;)
  
  There's not a game there either (yet), but I wouldn't mind some Konami style games on Amiga so keep having fun :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo by Quartz
• Watched it again drunk as a Frenchman and it still didn't make sense !! :D Relation to UK Quartz is unknown.

• musicdisk Commodore 64 Sid Doing Paula by Arkanix Labs [web]
• Yes, pic + key check is about as um simple and clean interface as you can make... ;)
  
  Tunes were OK, have a thumb for the inverse retrograb (and dirty title)!

• demo Windows The Seeker by Still [web]
• Quote:

  a great example on why concept is important.

  
  or why concept is boring.
  
  the concept here I think was, "we have 3 routines and a song, let's combine them into one scene that we stretch out for the duration of the song". I guess that's just not my cup of murky ribbon soup.

• demo JavaScript My god, it's full of sinus!
• awsm: welcome to Pouet :) and grats on your first release (I think?)
  
  I don't know you and no, I haven't read the entire scrolltexts to check, but it seems credits are missing for the gfx and music. It's a demoscene thing, you just put a text file in the archive so that it's known that you have permission from authors for any material not made by you or other sceners involved in the project.
  
  As for the guys asking you to "make a C64 demo then"... well: if you like C64 a lot you can make a Youtube clip. If you're a big fan you can make a JS demo. And if you're REALLY a fan you can go make a C64 demo about it. There have been quite a few retro-love releases already, so that if you love a certain platform you shouldn't avoid it by supporting other platforms but code for the platform "that you say you love so much". Something like that :)
  
  As a JS demo it was good, not so sure as to the accuracy of palette and so on. And sometimes demos are about achievements, and there's no achievement in 1MHz effect running in JS on GHz CPUs. (No, I don't think there's a way to make a realistic retro homage demo on such CPUs and tick the achievement box. So who knows what is expected here.)

• musicdisk Amiga OCS/ECS Sounds of Gnome by Mahoney & Kaktus & Northstar
• Motion: yep, funny :) borrowed from Dragnet (the movie). C D D# C F#
  
  This was released after a party I attended at end of May where Gluemaster was making tunes and a bunch of us were writing scrolltexts, so actually the release date in the scroll isn't correct either ;)
  
  Good times and a nice musicdisk with lots of little neat features to discover :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Animotion by Phenomena
• Dan: You're probably right :) And thanks for commenting, I hadn't thumbed up this old favorite of mine. It's so nice and enjoyable. :)
  
  Nice guy Havoc pixeled the logo for us on a party in Sweden before this... memories!

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS ice-cold coke by Phenomena
• Nice improvement of Vertical Insanity's HAM bars, with HAM bobs and a neat scroller effect (wait for it!) One of Mr. Gurk's best (if not THE best) with funky music by Danko :)
  
  Fixed the link, this version should work now. Don't be miffed if you tried to get this working on real Amigas for years like I have, it was all the sites that had the non-working exe file.
