• 64k Amiga OCS/ECS Remember Tribute by Fanatic2k
• We in Scoopex appreciated this tribute. :) (And you beat us to the punch due to compo order, so there!)

• dentro Amiga OCS/ECS reNOVAted by Defekt
• Some work done here, appreciated by me. With a more enthusing tune for the size and some variation this would have placed better (if that was the goal).

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Fuck USA demo by Complex [web] & Scoopex [web]
• Haha :) This demo is not political commentary...
  
  In hockey and tennis, obviously the US hockey team couldn't do shit, well actually they did shit = snorted coke just like McEnroe etc to have a chance to win a match... This is all documented like the US/USSR steroid use.
  
  That said, USA is being assholes to pretty much everyone on the planet since WW2, so it would take a lot of improvement on their part for this theme to not recur... only States can make it happen ♫

• slideshow Amiga AGA Wild by anadune [web] & Nah-Kolor [web]
• Peak native AGA hand-drawn gfx? I think so! I came across this inventorying one of the golden eras of Amiga many years ago. Top stuff :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Generation X by Binary
• If each prod using custom formats come with a disk copy, and it's reliable with reliable physical drives, the copy protection aspect is alleviated (although I think few will use that function). Then my complaints are reduced to having to use a custom tool to write the first disk. Why exactly should each viewer crunch or prep your demo for you?
  
  For preservation, custom formats pose a bigger problem. For each format, the work increases for the preservation crew. One could foresee that squeezing bytes is so important that a new format is made for each release. Consider giving the format you use a unique identifier of some kind.
  
  Filling up a disk a few % more instead of just crunching better first and writing a standard format, or using two disks... What Price Perfection? (This is another of my thoughts on the matter.)
  
  Well, here the price is that the release file is not distributed as a bootable image or runnable executable, but distributed alongside a tool to convert the file to such.
  
  I guess the physical disk solves it for competitions, but if users should need other specs to write the disk than those of the demo (such as a harddisk to hold the release file, more RAM, or KS > 1.3), there's an argument that, since the release files are not distributed by the authors on physical floppy, those greater specs are what a user in fact needs to run it.
  
  Is that more fair? It's genius. It's copy protection. It's brazen. It also comes with problems.
  
  I think orgas must ask the right questions of the contestants as described in this comment, and form rules around them. It's good if they are aware.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Generation X by Binary
• Or put another way, I could have fit > 1MB on a DSDD floppy back in the day, if I wanted nobody to be able to copy it and run it.
  
  Why are we removing limits instead of embracing them, exactly? Why do we make things easier for ourselves, going against the spirit of the Demoscene? My claim is that we fear not winning.
  
  Apart from that, and put another way, how does what I see require more than 880KB. Have we used some other tools to make things easier for ourselves?

• No, you can't fit 2+ MB on a DSDD floppy using what they claim. So they pulled one on the orgas, it seems.

• 40k Amiga AGA Moral Fiber by Nah-Kolor [web]
• AGA 40k with a nice transition at the start and the logo at the end which I enjoyed the most on the bigscreen. Well conducted Magic! (Also bring Phibrizzo over here so you can credit him properly, he's not new!)

• intro Amiga OCS/ECS 5 Percent by Fnuque [web]
• Pretty nice visuals for 2056 bytes, which is slightly over 2KB. ;)
  
  So 8K Intro Amiga compo when?
