• demo ZX Spectrum manifesto by Thesuper
• okay, I give in, here's my thumb, :)
  
  yes, I've totally oldschool views on demos, effects matters, design is packaging -> I'm a coder. & yes, I see all this realtime rulez attitude is getting very outdated by todays standards, and hardware.
  
  If your goal was to mimick today's pc demos, no matter what, you've done pretty well indeed. But for me - as back in the days - doing stuff realtime that was thought "impossible" before is what demos are about.
  
  Nice pictures with a cool anim player (=1 effect in the demo) is much less effort than doing it really.
  
  and I really believe, that fex. the speccy has enough power to make 3d filled objects while also setting attribute memory for more colors fex. why no1 did that so far? (cubeish thing and pistol)
  
  The tunnel, even mirrored once - wouldnt be very hard to make it a table effect looking up a 16x16 texture.
  
  the radius plasma thing (2:49) could easily again manipulate both bitmap & attributes. the plasma in the intro in error 23 does that, what does stop speccy doing it ?
  
  but then again, its just my possibly outdated views on how demos should work from the inside.

  Surely most 8-bit stuff is some sort of fake in the end

  
  
  replace "most" to "bad"

• "still hating animation?"
  
  yes.
  
  many of those effects could have been done realtime.
  
  pretty awesome design tho, turning the really bad speccy palette into an advantage is ammazing.
