  • Best Demo Production V

    We finish off this category with the final and one of the most wanted pieces in the nomination rounds…

    Making jaws drop when presented at the X’2008 party in The Netherlands (where it got a more than deserved first position), Booze Designs’ demo brings forth a bag of surprises for our Commodores, pushing the 64 past its limits with an array of effects before thought impossible. Couple this with nice graphics and music (Dane doing a double role there!) and you got yourself a winner.

    The bar for tchnological achievement on the stock C64 platform has been raised once again, until X’2010 perhaps? :)

    Ladies and gentleman, this is:

    Edge of Disgrace by Booze Design

  • Best Demo Production IV

    Even though this category has been devised with the milking of stock vintage hardware in mind, we had to put an Amiga demo in there.

    What do I mean with this? The expansions available for the Amiga computers, in many cases, have by far exceeded what we would consider an oldschool platform, and many of the demos being released today for the Amiga use fast accelerators and other stuff unavailable on stock hardware years ago. This puts the Amiga demoscene in a different spot to the C64 or Spectrum one. Unfortunately, the Amiga demoscene is not as blooming as other scenes nowadays. There are very few demogroups that are still releasing for it, and most just don’t cover old hardware like A500, or even a stock 1A200. Fortunately the combined output of these few groups is of high quality (Uprough being my favourite group) and every year we can count on some good productions.

    Getting a second place this year at Breakpoint’s Amiga competition and with some nice tech skills to wit coupled with a style which reminds us of “survival horror” games like Silent Hill, we present you our fourth nomination in the demo category:

    Soliloquy by Elude

  • Best Demo Production III

    I’ll start this post wishing everyone a happy new year! I hope all your chippy wishes come true :D

    So, we should be going on with this even if the holidays are in the middle so allow me to introduce you to the next nominee in the Demo Production category. This demo got the second place at the Chaos Constructions demoparty:

    Personal Nightmare by Omega Hackers Group
    [Spectrum] (#2 at Chaos Constructions)
