• demo C16/116/plus4 First Demo by TLC [web] & Gods Of The Universe [web]
• This prod has been (mostly) a one man's trip. My first megademo, to be precise :). With mostly all code + gfx done by myself. HB has been a great friend of mine, who kindly created a couple of graphics for me (he used to be a coder on C64 anyway), whilst Shadow has been GOTU's in-house graphician who also created one or two logos for the stuff... that's probably all who were involved (with their knowledge, that is). A couple of guys have been credited because I used their code (usually as base), a couple of other guys have been credited because I converted their stuff from C64 in part or in whole, and finally; I credited all C64 musicians (if/when I knew whom to credit) whose tunes were featured. Did I miss someone?... It clearly lacked design, but hey, Plus/4 scene prods have been down by 2-3 years (as compared to the C64 scene) at the time... and second, if that wasn't clear: the Plus/4 has been inited originally with the --nosid option, whilst this prod plays SID tunes, by "emulating" a SID with an early "software synth"-alike engine. Consequently, the stuff features lots of raster efx combined with digi music (which has been pretty new and outstanding at the time, probably one of the first examples of that sort on Plus/4). ...Geez, 20 years... :)

• demo C16/116/plus4 Blue Keeps by Vortex [web]
• Milestone. One of the first megademos to have decent design, digi tunes whose replay can actually cooperate with effects, and the first ever example of replaying SID tunes on the TED in a realtime digital soft-synth approach (a "digiconverter routine", that is). WIT for president.

• demo C16/116/plus4 GOTU Megademo by Gods Of The Universe [web]
• It's surprising to see my old demoparts screenshot here, after all that time :). I'm happy if you liked Gotu Mega and this part.
  
  Gotu was in fact a relatively new demogroup at the time, quickly expanding (...as was the scene itself, for that matter), with lots of new names and faces. The demo might reflect that to some extent - lots of enthusiasm, lots of parts, relatively few tough effects, and about as many styles as names :).
  
  As for the part above, this is actually the first ever demopart that I got published, shortly after joining the Gods in late 1991. The splits above are indeed true rastersplits. On regular TVs and PAL displays, the "logo" would also be in a continuous color gradient from blue to green (a PAL trick - pretty dependent on the display). The tune is JCH's "Training" (...little did I know about its title at the time; I used to be spending lots and lots of time just by listening to C64 tunes on the Plus/4, experimenting with different TED mconv routines and settings before settling with some particular tune for a still-to-be-written demopart). The mconv routine here is a pretty simple one, only 2 channels are played at a time, no multiplexing is used; from the other hand, the parameters are continously tweaked as the tune advances, so that replay could be done in an optimal way as capabilities permit.
  
  Most demoparts in the demo use Pigmy's mconv routine to play their respective C64 tunes, which uses some heuristics to decide which SID channels should be played at a time, and how should that be done (multiplexing et. al). Because of that, replay quality is usually acceptable, I risk it could be called decent in comparison to most other TED voice based SID conversions of the time.
