    I got extremely emotional when the demo ended and it returned to the BASIC screen. While experiencing this fantastic demo, you barely realize this is a 1Mhz 8-bit system released in 1982 - a time so far away and so different, but kept alive and brought into today through these wizards. All that just hit home when that screen came back, it's like this part of the past will never die.

    This is bananas. Grew up in the c64 scene as a kid in the 80’s and to see that machine from 1982 do this just basically breaks my brain. A powerful machine for its time to be sure but this demo is just crazy. Right down the sid music which is going the extra mile to compliment the visuals.

    Wow! I am dumbfounded. I'm not a big buff in terms of coding and a bit foreign to the Demo scene; although I do like to watch a good one from time to time.
    This one has to be my favorite one ever. The technical prowess is beyond comprehension of my layman's mind, and I can only imagine how hardware-stretching this all is.
    What I enjoy the most, though, is that there's this cohesive and lovingly crafted storyline involved. A lot of heart went into this project, I can easily tell.
    Most C64 demos I have ever seen are visually impressive, but have nothing really to tell - just animation after animation with some fancy "We fucking rule yeaaah go us" text inbetween.
    Here, my eyes stayed glued to the screen for the whole duration, absorbed by the high-quality visuals presented to them, while my mind appreciated and closely followed the story told by the Demo. My heart went along for the ride, too, as there's a really strong emotional component to this piece.
    Bravissimo! This is a masterpiece. I am so glad I happened upon it, and I shall watch it again in the future. The thought will be "Hey, it's Brain. You remember that awesome demo? Yeah, let's watch it again, I really feel like it."

      It was one of the last things that was added to the demo, not far from deadline. The Syndrom got an idea and went with it. Seems like many really appreciated that effect in particular. An amazed sound went through the audience when the demo was presented for the first time at the competition!

    When I had C64 baxk in 1983 until i went over to the Amiga 500 in 1991, I mever demos existed! I have watched loads of C64 demos on YT and everytime i watch one i get emotional, thinking about the limitations of the system and remembering the C64 only had 64k of RAM. You guys have put together an absolute stonker of a demo, i was absolutely blown away with the GFX, music and precision of this production. How the hell did you even manage to have a huge picture scrolling vertically and have animated sprites that big typing? Absolutely fantastic production I am really looking dorwars to your next demo.

      Thank you so much! The VIC chip surely has its pros and cons, but you can use a technique called "Multiplexing" where you are able to present more than 8 sprites on the screen at once. It's done in many games and demos. We are thankful to have skilled creators in both our teams :)

    As the title said maybe the best, I feel this is one of the best. I really loved the sound effect at around 6.36 mark, it sounds like some very heavy filtering or something but I love it. Imagine seeing this in 1982.

    That's what a demo must be and the genre was invented for! It's simply art and should be presented on the next documenta.

    I just realized why I like this so much. It heavily reminds me of GBA Warioware's cutscenes and I loved that game as a kid.
