- Nice intro, clearly inspired by the heydays of design on Amiga a few years earlier.

- demo Amiga AGA THE CURE by RETREAM [web]
- Just watched it again and I have to say it really is a great tour de force of naïve teenage ramblings about saving the world, which severely diminishes my enjoyment of the good aspects of the demo.
A bit of politician-, bank- and megacorp bashing, as if that's not already done on a daily basis since at least a century back. Something about being nice to nature and by the way religion and propaganda is bad but here's a picture of Jesus, our lord and savior, apparently a key player in human progress. All of it a fine and reliably predictable concoction of simplistic truisms and falsehoods, sometimes internally contradictory. Oh and also a jab at Freemasons for no apparent reason, because of course things wouldn't be complete without some tinfoil-hatted conspiracy mongering.
The Cure, then, begins as a list of UN's basic human rights and proceeds, equally predictably, to escalate into some wet dream about global communism, with a call for redistributing and limiting personal wealth on a massive scale. Presumably this should somehow be achieved without using force, because War Is Bad, yo.
The demo is technically and aesthetically nice. Some scrollers and transitions are very good (and innovative), as is the music (even though the voice sample should probably have been left out - I think it sounds corny, which was probably not the intention).
The message, such as it its, is at times not displayed long enough on the screen, which is odd considering the purpose of the demo. I had to watch a youtube recording to be able to pause it.
Then again, perhaps that's deliberate: the texts that flicker past the fastest are the ones calling for global communism. They are promptly followed by lingering on a statement about "being nice to each other", as if someone would disagree with that.
Anyway, keep on making demos. I'd love to see your creative approach to a different subject matter. - sucksadded on the 2020-07-23 16:08:08
