D055: Spaceballs "State Art" One of the best music (Rave) demos we have seen. Spaceballs are setting the standards for others to follow. D088A: Madonna "Sex" [1/3 Disks] D088B: Madonna "Sex" [2/3 Disks] D088C: Madonna "Sex" [3/3 Disks] D095A: Spaceballs "9 Fingers" [1/2 Disks] D095B: Spaceballs "9 Fingers" [2/2 Disks] If you thought Spaceballs "State of the Art" was good then check this one out. Improved graphics (impressive FX), beefier sound and an all round show stopper. We used this in February to draw the crowds early on at an All Formats Show! D112A: Axis "Big Time" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D112B: Axis "Big Time" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] This demo takes sample from the song "Big Time Sensuality" from that Icelandic singer, Bjork. Cleverly looped to make it sound very well put together. This demo is not just a music demo - there are plenty of good visual effects too, like the animation colour fractal landscape at the start, the AGA plasma, and some of that in-vogue bitmap rotation. The sound quality is execellent making it a quite nice all round demo. CU Amiga 82%. D122: Complex "Real" [AGA] Must be the best, or one of the best, AGA demos so far. Superb 3D landscape effects that must be seen. D130A: Fairlight/VD "Love" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D130B: Fairlight/VD "Love" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] If you're into the kind of cheesy Euro techno pop that's all over the charts at the moment, you'll instantly warm to this one from Fairlight, as it opens with a slick Haddaway-style tune. The graphics get going with a slow vector sequence, but pick up with a nice plasma effect made from a warped and twisted bitmap. Next up is a shaded 3D logo which is OK for the vector fans. The best effect is the swarm of morphing dots that spin around in three dimensions, forming themselves into various patterns. There's some more alternative plasma, a few neat pictures, and a slow-moving texture- mapped twisting vector cube. Following a short ray-traced animation loop and a smooth realtime-generated fractal zoom, there's a nice bitmap zoom. The final stage is a flight around a ray-traced fairlight logo. Depending on your TV or monitor, you may have problems viewing certain parts, as the demo jumps between 50 and 60Hz. Enough to keep you entertained. 80% CU Amiga September 1994. D136: Polka Bros "Gevalia" Polka Brothers are excellent at coming up with their own unique style of demos: intense, humourous, always fresh with new effects, tied-in perfectly with a fast and funky soundtrack. Gevalia is no exception. On the menu we have: abstract vector patterns, a cartoon crocodile, a very strange stylised animation, a twisty cube-within-a-cube, a delicious new swirly pattern routine, a picture, a super-speedy tunnel sequence, the credits and an abrupt end. It's short, but right in your face all the way through (it's so fast that I've had to reset and watch it four times just to make a list of the effects!). A short, sharp shock on a disk. 88% CU Amiga September 1994. D145: CCCP "Rave" A very poor start to this demo but it leads into a decent Rave. D146: Pygmy "Extension" D147A: Fairlight "Breath Taker" [AGA] [4MB] [HD] [1/5 Disks] D147B: VD "Breath Taker" [AGA] [4MB] [HD] [2/5 Disks] D147C: VD "Breath Taker" [AGA] [4MB] [HD] [3/5 Disks] D147D: VD "Breath Taker" [AGA] [4MB] [HD] [4/5 Disks] D147E: VD "Breath Taker" [AGA] [4MB] [HD] [5/5 Disks] This is a large demo. So large, that you need 3.5MBs of hard drive space and 4MBs of fast ram to run it. In a break away from the normal demo traditions, Breath Taker is mostly made up of pre-rendered 3D visuals, rather than realtime generated effects, hence the massive memory requirements. It's a collection of abstract 3D animations, pinned together with brief captions and comments. The Virtual Dreams team have created a dark world of throbbing tunnels, mountains, organic chambers and extra-terrestrial constructions. These are viewed in wonderful "fly-around-o-vision", in a chunky window that fills the middle third of the screen. It's all set to a burbling acid soundtrack. Very nice. 89% CU Amiga November 1994. D148: Urban "Justice '94" [AGA] [2MB] Yes mister, I'll take two please! This is the best demo of Summer '94 by a long shot! It's a sound and vision extravaganza, with the best soundtrack ever to grace an Amiga demo. Released to promote a new EP from Urban Shakedown, it's a remix of Some Justice, the hardcore anthem of 1992, produced by Urban Shakers themselves, and reworked into a colossal bass-heavy jungle stomper. Stick this through a decent hi-fi and you just won't believe the sub-bass! If that wasn't enough already, it's even got that brillian Ce Ce Rogers vocal. The graphics are hot too. Jungle lined tunnels, warped animations, slippery plasma and hard-hitting strobes. Get a copy now! 94% CU Amiga October 1994. D149: Mystic "Ilex" A wonderful demo with a number of original routines. The most memorable part are the two digitised Karate fight scenes. Two white suit clad guys perform on the screen, ending in one unfortunate with a kick to the family jewels. The other parts of the demo include dot shapes, vectors and picture interludes. D151: Digital "7th Heaven" D153A: Complex "Seduction" [1/2 Disks] D153B: Complex "Seduction" [2/2 Disks] The top demo group are back with an excellent music disk this time. If your a collector of music disks then this should be on your wanted list. D154: Spaceballs "Superanao Tapes" A very decent music compilation from Spaceballs - pity about the graphics as there isn't any! D155: Mystic "Dirt" D156: Beton "Rumble Bubble" D157: Urban "Justice '94" [AGA] [2MB] Some Justice '94 the 030/040 version D158A: Rebels "Switchback" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D158B: Rebels "Switchback" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] Wow! Yummy video feedback gets this one off to a slippery start. Then it's the turn of a variety of blurred kaliedoscope patters to trance you out, which they do along to the sound of a better than average Euro demo tune, beefed up with a nice drum loop and atmospheric chords and breakdowns. Some good static artwork precedes the next bout of visual head-smashing effects, which include some good variations on the plasma theme and some fractal zooms. Slip in disk two, and it's time for the climax: a stomach-churning ride around a rollercoaster that's frighteningly convincing. The adrenaline is pumped up further by the fierce guitar-lead techno-rock soundtrack. A bit of all right and no mistake! 91% CU Amiga January 1995. 8/10 Active Software rating. D159: 242 "The Trackers" Starts with a rave-demo musical affair followed by some animations of three space-ships leaving their docking area. The idea of the demo is to follow the ships throughout their journey. Most of the journey is quite hard to distinguish due to the low quality animation but the best parts are the zoom tunnel with strobe effects, and the sequence where you follow the three ships into the valley. D160: Ozone "Swamp Thing" You know! This is the song from chart -toppers "The Grid". Excellent. D161: Haurobb "Jammin" A bit up and down this one, but when it's good, it's rather nice indeed. Highlights are the cute snail at the beginning, and the ultra mellow chill out part at the end, with its silky smooth blurred background and well laidback soundtrack, which would win this month's soundtrack of the month award if one existed, purely for its thick warm fluffy duvet chords. It's a great demo to switch on if you want some peace and quite and send the kids off to noddy land. 80% CU Amiga January 1995. 7/10 Active Software rating. D162: Melon "BOO=II" Really simple and quick demo. D163: Prodigy "No Good" Prodigy "Your'e no good for me" remix of the same song. D164A: TRSI "Artifice" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D164B: TRSI "Artifice" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] Not a bad demo all round from the TRSI guys. D165A: Infect "Believe" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D165B: Infect "Believe" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] Infect's "Do you Believe?" with increased speed on 030 machines! D166: TSB "Ventilator" [AGA] [2MB CHIP+] D167: Neoplasia "Bam Booze" Short and sweet demo. D168: Movement "Numb" D169A: Duplo "My Mamma is" [1/2 Disks] D169B: Duplo "My Mamma is" [2/2 Disks] Talk about spoilt for choice! My Mamma is yet another full-on two disk demo that won't fail to impress. First up we've got a good fractal zoom, then there's the obligatory bitmap zoom section, which includes niffty ripple effects. My fave bit next: the smoothest, slickest video feedback yet seen (basically this is loads of abstract patterns that spew out of the middle of the screen). Disk two brings on a slightly different kind of tunnel, more bitmap contortions, and some phong shaded vectors. By this time the acid music has switched to a jarre-influenced peice. That'll do nicely. 89% CU Amiga January 1995. 7/10 Active Software rating. D170: Freezers "Wit Premium" [AGA] Here's one for the vector fans. Some of the fastest vector graphics we have ever seen are on display here, ranging from speedy trips around city scapes, to 3D logos, single frame texture maps, and a decent tunnel-zoom combo effect. You also get a few top-notch still pictures, and a gory bit at the end. It's all put to a stomping breakbeat techno soundtrack. Check, as they say. 90% CU Amiga January 1995. 9/10 Active Software rating. D172A: Sub "Lurking Shadows" [1/2 Disks] D172B: Sub "Lurking Shadows" [2/2 Disks] A rave demo in parts. The best effect in this demo is the Microcosm-type plasma zoom at then end. D173: Zoo "Map" A dot-tunnel sequence (fast), very decent vector cube which turns one way with 64-colour pictures on each side turning another. D174: Melon "Ninja" Very basic start. Melon Design do present some fairly unique demos and this is another in this range. The main feature is "find and watch the Ninja". It really consists of a decent, well drawn animation of the ninja in action. Quite well done but very short. 5/10 Active Software rating. D175A: Silents "Soul Kitchen" [020 1200 ONLY] [1/2 Disks] D175B: Silents "Soul Kitchen" [020 1200 ONLY] [2/2 Disks] A really decent demo but one that works on limited machines. D176: TRSI "Smash you" TRSI "We will smash you!" D177A: Digital "Eternal" [AGA] [1MB FAST MEM+] [1/2 Disks] D177B: Digital "Eternal" [AGA] [1MB FAST MEM+] [2/2 Disks] Digital Dreams "Eternal Madness" D178A: VD "Psychedelic" [AGA] [3MB+] [HD] [1/3 Disks] D178B: VD "Psychedelic" [AGA] [3MB+] [HD] [2/3 Disks] D178C: VD "Psychedelic" [AGA] [3MB+] [HD] [3/3 Disks] Virtual Dreams/Fairlight "Psychedelic" Voted 2nd at the Party 94. MY GOD! Routines after routines that will blow your mind. I am not even going to try to describe this one... you think it has finished, then more excellent routines. The best demo yet. 10/10 Active Software rating. D179A: Polka Bros "The Prey" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D179B: Polka Bros "The Prey" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] Very decent demo. D180A: Oxyron "Killing Time" [AGA] [1/4 Disks] D180B: Oxyron "Killing Time" [AGA] [2/4 Disks] D180C: Oxyron "Killing Time" [AGA] [3/4 Disks] D180D: Oxyron "Killing Time" [AGA] [4/4 Disks] This is Oxyron's first ever Amiga demo, so when I read this I thought "well it may be reasonable then". I was wrong. Firstly, they present us their "Rot-Zoomer" which consists of a 4096 colour, fast, full-screen image which then transforms into a negative version. We are then treated to a 3D texture labyrinth which contains pictures on the wall which animate as you move past them. The demo then leads into a realtime texture city (very fast), next IFS fractals, mutating line vectors with 812 lines (very decent effect), more textured vectors in 4096 colours and finally, texture morphing and a texture tunneel. Certainly impressive for their first Amiga demo! 8/10 Active Software rating. D181: Duplo "Much Ado" Duplo "Much ado about nothing" D182A: Dream "Toothbrush" [1/2 Disks] D182B: Dream "Toothbrush" [2/2 Disks] Dream Dealers "Toothbrush part 3" D183: IMT "World of Ascii" Impact "World of ascii". Very original demo - extract this. D184: Balance "Suntrome" D185A: Polka Bros "Twisted" [1/4 Disks] D185B: Polka Bros "Twisted" [2/4 Disks] D185C: Polka Bros "Twisted" [3/4 Disks] D185D: Polka Bros "Twisted" [4/4 Disks] Polka Bros. always give us a good show and this is no exception. Loads of twisted text, excellent sound track, loads of un-describable scenes, the usual plasma zooms, superb morphing anim sequence, good circulating scroller and excellent vector tunnel sequence. Really good overall, and even better towards the end. 8/10 Active Software rating. D186A: Oxygene "Indigo" [1/2 Disks] D186B: Oxygene "Indigo" [2/2 Disks] A reasonable demo this one. Contains a very decent rotating city (mind you the text presented on top is nothing special), a basic doom sequence which zapppps into something much, much better, a picture warped and bounced, morphing flame objects, some decent shape animations and finally, a fairly well drawn tunnel sequence. 6/10 Active Software rating. D187: Apex "Dotsy" This demo has a Melon Design feel to it: Cute, colourful etc. Check out the scroller on the vector -dot landscape! 7/10 Active Software rating. D189: Andromeda "Nexus 7" Voted FIRST at the Party 94!! Starts with a rotating "milky-way" visual set and leads into the quickest landscape rotation yet! All the routines in this demo are short but very powerful. This is how they should be. A set of fire designed vector objects are then present on the screen (hard to describe!) which lead to a final vector which contains a number of holes that allow light to escape in beams. These light beams have to be seen. The demo presents more interesting features such as shade-clusters that are unique, motion blurred 256-colour picture, a bouncing ball with a difference, plasma zoom and a 3D ray- traced scroller. The best part of this demo is the superb raytraced environment which contains a beautiful smooth lamp animtion that bounces its way throughout this environment: up the stairs, across vast spaces and more! You can see why the demo one first prize! 10/10 Active Software rating. D190A: Rebels "Whammer Slamm" [AGA] [1/3 Disks] D190B: Rebels "Whammer Slamm" [AGA] [2/3 Disks] D190C: Rebels "Whammer Slamm" [AGA] [3/3 Disks] Very decent demo from the Rebels. D191A: Bomb "Motion Origin 2" [AGA] [1/2 Disks] D191B: Bomb "Motion Origin 2" [AGA] [2/2 Disks] Voted THIRD at the Party 94! This demo starts with a decent tunnel -doom type sequence with rotating vectors within the "ceiling" and "floor". An excellent start leads to a landscape rotation (in four colours but very fast), realtime movement throughout a vast room: 360 degrees movement with vectors appearing from the floor and a huge "snake spiral" (remember those spring-spiral toys that used to bounce down your stairs!) that moves within the room. After this the four-colour landscape rountine from earlier transforms into the same rountine but in 16-colours. The "WOW!" factor is now enabled as we enter a scene with a large morphing animation in the background with another morphing anim in the foreground. If all the above wasn't enough to make this one of the best demos of all-time we now enter the VERY BEST DOOM ARENA EVER!!! The demo moves very quickly around a doom atmosphere which has the most detail ever: it even has well drawn pictures on the walls. The final part of the demo is the best so far! You can ENTER THE DOOM WORLD YOURSELF and move around using the mouse. Walk up steps and more. 9/10 Active Software rating D192: US "Yul Brynner" D193: Asylum "Zeros & Ones" D194: Tradegy "Zootje" I didn't like this demo when I saw it but CU Amiga gave it demo of the month.
