- My personal best of collection of Amiga 500 Demos and Intros from 1988+. Some of them are pretty rare. Created with WinUAE. The music is not processed in any way. I tried to keep it as original as possible. E.g. there's mostly a hard stereo separation.
Although the Amiga has been surpassed by many computers since it's golden era it will always remain the most magical computer in history! :)
Every line has their followers to say the same thing :D.
For me, the most magical computers are the MSX.
As a kid, I always thought Amiga music sounded futuristic. Now we see it as retro music. Quite amusing. But I'm confident that the robots of the future will be jamming to the Amiga.
It' still future music.
If the commodore bosses had had any brains and dome some homework, they may have been able to wipe the floor with all the other computer systems at the time.
neville w agreed
+neville w And the world would be a better place for it. Sigh, the Amiga was a piece of art.
Possibly. Still, Jack Tramiel had made enemies of his retailers long before C= acquired the Amiga. When you try to push a new product, that's going to be a serious roadblock.
Yeah why not to dome some homework, they shouldnt be flat
In Poland after the finał death they have ok in about two years
that music is still better than 90% of the crap they shove at us now.
It's nostalgic, but music in games can be absolutely phenomenal these days?
yep name a good original soundtrack on the ps & xbox.
all classical crap mostly.
@@1066gaz Doom. Witcher. Skyrim. Fallout. Celeste. Cuphead. Outer worlds. Overwatch. Need I continue? And that's not going to current pc titles... It's not about the genre, its about how it suits the game...
@@Grigeral Yep completed them all.
Skyrim oblivion has got to be my all time favourite.
Spent thousands of hours on that one.
Played 10,000's of games over 40 years and skyrim& GTA series are my all time favourite games.
@@1066gaz I love TES and FO both, but TES def has the better music.
But I'd say my top RPG has to be Planescape: Torment. Which consequently, is probably my fave OST too... Particularly Deionnara's Theme. Still makes my hairs stand on end.
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura had a great OST too, mostly classical but suited the medieval/industrial theme.
This is what got me started writing music in Trackers and then getting a deal and a professional music career. Thanks AMIGA!!!
The AMIGA had a soul. I miss it so much!
id normally call someone pretensious for saying a machine had a soul, but dam your right that amiga really had a character all of its own, strange but true, thanks ! might be fun if they brought out a 2014 version !
Let's say it better:
The Amiga made people possible to express their souls!
You had a soul when sitting at your Amiga. You miss it.
Indeed, but the angel of death came to collect his soul and now amiga lives on youtube
@@mcpartridgeboy sadly not possible , Amiga RIP 1985 - 2000
This sounds sooooo good ! Oh the nostalgia. Amiga 500 + the 512Kb RAM expansion
RIP Commodore.
Too bad the company was brought down by poor management.
Membrane556 Yep, to this day one of my favorite computers was the Amiga A1200. Commodore had some really awesome computers, just shame the management sucked.
@mPky1_ No it was poor management. There are books and videos about it, from folks working inside Commodore. Please - do your research before writing random nonsense.
@mPky1 What you saying is, those folks who´s been working inside Commodore, can´t be trusted, when they say it was poor management.
@mPky1 All your weird arguments has nothing to do with the topic, and is therefore pointless to try to decipher, although i did find it quite amusing reading, so thanks for the laugh :D
Please enlighten us , where you got your waterproof facts from, since all interviews, books and videos etc. about his subject. seems to cover up the real truth in your world!!
Btw. - if your right, then i´ll follow your path 100%
@mPky1 Lets try this from the beginning
You claim :
"no amiga died because everybody pirated everything and ther e was no reason for anyone to invest in software."
and :
"What part of a machine without software will die dont you understand ?"
Employees and people from inside Commodore has written books, articles, videos etc. about poor management lead to the fall of Amiga, and
NOT PIRACY like you say.
What part is it you don´t understand. I´m not building factual knowledge on claims like you.
Give us the proof of why your right, or let´s just leave it here.
Have a nice day.
always loved the old skool 88-89 modules, they held a certain charm! :)
Yep, and we reached the 1000 thumbs up ! THANKS A LOT PEOPLE - YOU ROCK !
1032 now, sorry ive been listening to this for about 2 years now and only just noticed I hadn't likes !
4irmann What was your best Soundtrack to an Amiga Game , Only played a few games on at my m8`s house :)
+mcpartridgeboy Wow that's cool, you definitely like it. Thanks for the feedback
+Jonathan Mullett I loved "The Faerytale" Soundtrack and the "Defender Of the Crown" Soundtrack.
+Jonathan Mullett Also "Speedball 2" Soundtrack and "Turrican" Soundtrack was great. And "Rock'n Roll" Soundtrack.
Played Amiga 500 back in 90s, best thing happen to Game industry. still locked in AMIGA music era . what an experience to hear 20+ year later!
+Abdulrahman Al-Ali Actually, those were the good old times *before* it turned into an industry. Games back then were pieces of art. These days it's more mass-produced, short-lived junk.
EDIT: This is not true for all games these days but certainly for a larger share than back then.
Best games era... I loved the games and demos.
if only the Amiga survived
+TCN NerdTech (TotalChickenNuggets) Keep a flame for the amiga in your heart.
+TCN NerdTech (TotalChickenNuggets) better than Atari
It did survive. Go buy a Vampire V4 when it comes out later this year. :)
Long live the Amiga!
Amigas are still very much used; mostly in UK and Europe though, rarely in America.
The music at 1:07:15 is by SLL. It was one of two mods you get to hear in a somewhat famous little demo that features two computer monitors-one C64, one Amiga-showing Rastan and King Tut's mask, respectively. That demo was literally the first thing I ever saw on Amiga, coming from a background which capped out at the NES, and having never owned a C64. I spent the next two years saving up for an A500. I don't remember the name of the demo but it remains a thing that made a huge impact in my life.
Edit: 1:24:30 is another very early demo for me. The thing that stood out for me with this one was the lovely music. Just compare it to all the other tunes. Everything else might as well be part of the same album; they're all writing music by the late 80s book, basically. This tune is different. Ethereal. Incidentally, since I saw all of these in NTSC, both this tune and the SLL one I mentioned above were heard playing at 60% of their intended speed. (Because the demos were designed for PAL, they can't quite manage 60fps, so default to 30 instead, and 30 is 60% of 50.) My memory is stuck hearing these songs at the wrong speed, but frankly I think for this tune it's a huge improvement. You can _kind of_ get a rough idea of how that sounds if you use TH-cam's speed changing feature... Setting it to 0.6x sounds a little rough, but not bad.
I used to play these on my walkman all the time and someone once caught me listening to Xenon1 and said it sounded like underwater music, but fuck him, the techno bass of the Amiga was and still is fucking EPIC.
ArcanePath360 it was a recording with or without led on? (aka filter)
*****
I've managed to keep it a secret so far.
I'm afraid to come out!! :)
ArcanePath360 I copies C64 and Amiga music to my walkman as well! Even before "best of" came up. The music still IS epic.
ArcanePath360 i used to record it on tape also but geez thats like eons ago, i had collected thousands of tunes ripped from virtually every game on the amiga that i could get the tunes out iof, even had to repair some as they never quite ripped properly. but this brings back some old memories from 25 years back lol
+Simone Bernacchia led DOES sound like underwater to me.
- Trilogy intro tune (from 1:12:20) by The Amiga Freak/Trilogy, title "runaway".
- Another Trilogy intro cover tune (from 1:17:05) _probably_ by SLL.
- Great Spreadpoint intro tune (from 1:19:35) by Ernie/Spreadpoint.
- MFC intro tune (from 1:22:19) maybe by Sal/Vortex 42.
Ok, I want the 80ies back!
1:24:30 : That Paranoimia cracktro is so great. Simple yet effective ;D. Deeply nostalgic.
THIS ART WAR FROM ELECTRONIC ARTISTS FOR PARANOIMIA !!!!!!!!!!! deutschnational.
The best ever i miss you!!! 🤩🥰😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😅😅😅🤣🤣😂😂😂😥😥😥😥😮😮😮😪😪😪😓😓😓😢😢😢😭😭😭
Amiga ROM Kernel Reference manual. I got it for Christmas when I was about 14. Within a few hours I somehow figured out how to put a bouncing copper bar on the desktop background using Lattice C. My intention was to just do a bouncing copper bar in it's own screen, but I messed that up and it somehow put it on the desktop instead. But this mistake was so awesome looking I had it load every time. The entire scene back then was amazing, it truly felt like something out of a William Gibson book (The computer side, not the real world). Miss those days coming home and just hacking away and playing games, talking to people on BBSs from all over the world, trading games and code. I don't think I ever went to bed before 3am all through high school. I wrote my own BBS software in GFA Basic and had people from all the top groups calling in. Tried to get into TRSI, but you needed an HST which I could never afford at that age.
i used to love the CRYSTAL/MELON DESIGN demo's..way ahead of there time..miss those days
Somehow X-Box One and PS4 just don't match up to the importance that this machine had to childhood. I still have some of these tunes on cassette, recently converted to MP3 before losing to magnetism ;)
That's probably because those weren't around in your childhood. If they were then you'd be one of those broken men who say those things were your whole childhood.
@@lukwtwz i wish i was born earlier, i would have a chance to listen to these tunes on an actual machine and not a laggy emulator
Amiga forever!
7 min 10 sec. - best ever music ... Sleep walk - that piece have defined quality of Amiga music for years. I have to admit I had recorded that song on an audio tape and listened to it again and again. And here we go almost 30 years later - I makes me smile... love this song....
Yes but all this guys where pirats who help they way to bring down the market of the amiga..., i buy also pirat games because they where expensive the original, but dont be hipocrecy
85'-95' the best decade for music in the past 4,000 years..!!
UnitA at 13:25 was one of my all time favorite. The music is powerful. The demo is subtle and strong. Not flashy. Thank you for this compilation. Too bad Freedom Force Megademo is missing. I always loved the name!
music sounds like italo disco. italo disco was produced in Germany a lot...
Early Eurodance and disco was a huge inspiration for the Amiga "Electro" style, yes. It's a sound very reminiscent of Scandinavia, where the demo scene is so popular
can you recomend any names i can look up in this italo disco genre ? thankyou

Laserdance cosmotron
1:07:13 It truly sounds amazing!
My bestttttt. I love also today
Back in the days when I ripped the Karsten Obarski tune "Telephone" from the Red Sector intro (at 43:08), all the MOD replay routines always played it faster than in the intro. All the remixes I've heard later also uses a faster pace. Kinda makes me wonder what the intended replay speed was?
You're right. It's too slow. I've never noticed before. I'm not really sure why this happened. Maybe it depends on the 50/60 Hz topic, or maybe on the emulation. Anyway, guess I have to somehow fix it. Thanks for the hint !
4irmann No, you don't have to do anything to fix it; this is just how it was played in that particular intro. I don't think it's a PAL/NTSC issue; if I recall correctly, the faster speed was actually set in the beginning of the module, but the replay routine seems to have ignored. I guess it could be due to old replayer code, or something.
Jan Fredrik Leversund
Yeah could be the replay routine, or as I've written: an emulator anomaly. I cross checked the video version with rendered mp3's from exotica[dot]org[dot]uk and it seems that the original tune was intended to be played faster. I'll do the following things to find out: replay the intro with a current WinUAE, and replay the original Obarski .mod file with Linux UADE player. If it's a failure from my side I have to fix it. Otherwise I'll add some text info which explains the issue and don't fix it.
4irmann It's not an emulation anomaly; this is how the intro sounded on an Amiga 500 back in 1988.
ok, after reading your first comment again, I understand now what your comment was about. So your actual question is: was it the correct replay speed in 1988 (how Obarski composed it), or did the intro authors deliberately alter the replay speed, or used they just a buggy/wrong replay routine ? As far as I know there's a field in the song or .mod header which stores the replay speed. Guess we have to look there to find out the truth. Another option would be to ask Karsten Obarski directly :-)
- RSI intro tune (from 0:39:52) was made by Mark II/Quadlite.
- Red Sector intro tune (from 0:43:08) by Karsten Obarski, title "Telephone".
- D.O.C intro tune (from 0:50:04) by Pat/Ackerlight, title "Pat".
- Mad Monks intro cover tune (from 0:52:15) by Styx/Mad Monks, title "gng8".
- The Enforcers intro tune (from 0:55:26) by TSM/Sunriders (aka Felix Schmidt).
- Enemies intro cover tune (from 0:59:23) by SLL/(too many groups to mention :D)
- WOW intro cover tune (from 1:03:22) by Hans/TSK-Crew.
ahhhh here we go, thx! a small beginning, anyone else you musi-cracks? ....
....
...
Maybe I have to watch the video, too to see the artists in the demo-credits...CLT
Last song before the credits music is an updated version of Jack dance by katsten obarski. 1:27:00 Probably my favorite tune from Amiga days
Beat to the Pulp (from 0:00:00) was made by Romeo Knight
Amazing, how quality increases within a short time... Watch those demos 2 years later, and you will find yourself in another world...
Paranoimia intro (1:24:30) - awesome 80s intro
😍😀👍
Great video. Just have a party and let this roll on the background = epic win :) In the another hand, I would like to know what song plays at 7:57 ? Excellent and calmng tune.
These all set me and close friends on a somewhat haphazard path (Freestyle UK/Ecstasy) but i loved every moment... bedroom coders, musicians, GFX artists doing all kindsa cool stuff and pushing boundaries... glad to have been a part of it all..
love that Quartex tune btw... synonymous with a whole loada cracks around that time.. same for the Red Sector intro tune at 43:15..
AMIGA was the most epic games heavy home computer ever created years ahead of its time and remained like that for many years
put a disk in to hear the music.... the game is crap but the sound is an anthem
I remember these. I was a nerd back then. Got my Amiga 500 in 1987.
Always close in front of my amiga. Any days a new discovery. Amiga a new word of musics and colors... the intro to multimedia computer. The base of illustrator, 3dstudiomax, photoshop, flash, premiere, after effect...and so on. When microsoft and dos on pc could do only beep beep and 2, 4 o 16 colors.
Depeche Mode!

Greetings from Germany!
This is one of my most revisited TH-cam videos. A tremendous piece of work putting all this together.
Hey, thanks a lot of. Much appreciated !!
omg..... thanks 1000 times !!! No more seraching or switching... everything is here.
Bought hundreds of these-used them for slot games-made a mint
The only computer that ever tugged at my heart. Nobody could work out how I got dead constant frame timing. PC guy copied the games and could get it right
couldn't not could
*****
We developed slot games for slot machines not arcade games. The boards were quite cheap and the graphic processing far superior to the PC. We stripped the Amiga down and used the joystick interface for button management. Eventually we managed to acquire the boards for about $100 each. We used SONIC to create the sounds and deluxe paint for the artwork. All in 320 by 240 by 32 colours but that didn't stop people spending zillions on them. The boards were housed in a custom cabinet we made. The machines were operated by smartcards.
Frame timing is something a lot of people miss these days. Scrolling on the Pc is pants, you see it ripping, even in 3D games you see one the top half of the frame is the new data, second half is old data. Not alot of people notice it, it seen on Xbox and other consoles too. The Amiga days people fine tuned more, certainly demos, a lot of great programmers, people don't seem to be bothered anymore, its more like getting the game out quick to get cash in.
Dan Potter IMO this is not black and white. There were shitty productions on Amiga and there are nice Productions on PC nowadays with finest scrolling etc.. E.g. Ubisofts Game "Rayman Origins" is a fantastic example. But I agree: Amiga parallax scrolling together with old CRT monitors (and this makes a difference, too) was so smooth.
I don't have nostalgia working for me here just love of old computers the amiga especially. There's something more real about the sounds of these old demos somehow. I know it's electronic music but I can't listen to modern recordings for too long it actually hurts my head and my ears. We built a custom hifi deck because we missed the warm mellow sound of that soft steady rumble of a big stereo, the kind you don't have to crank up to hear everything and can lay in bed listening to your son finding all the classic sesame street episodes your husband stuck on the flash drive. He loves the big sound and says, tv has bad sound mommy. We're learning names of old computers at the moment. It all returns somehow.
That f**(sorry excited haha)ing sound at 52:14 I ***ING LOVE IT, even I've installed WinUAE and that demo to listen when I feel it! Idk how why but I really love that amiga music intro! Thumbs Up!
TNTUP do u know the music 7.10 onwards its driving me crazy!
Yeah, it's a beautiful version of "Fame" and stands on its own legs. The original was composed by Giorgio Moroder.
I come very often to listen these amazing tunes and relive my childhood
just joined and miss the credits of those musixan, if ya know whatamean ^^ ;) :*
hello? anyone rreadding aand repling?
Nothing makes me pump my fist repeatedly in the air quite like this.
Maaaany thanks, mate! I was looking forward for this "Blizzard Greetings" for too long.
Finally can rest and listen to it. I was a teenager when first heard it.
Question: it increases quality upon 12:04. Could you indicate where I can findi full version, too?
Regards and salutations.
Felipe Fraga hi. I'm looking for the blizzard greetings music 🎶 hav you found a link for it or amiga adf file to use on a emulator
I really feel bad for the Amiga, it never had shit music, it just couldn't fit in with everything because it just FUCKIN OWNED !
Nice compilation!
- Amiga conversion of Whittaker's "Storm" (from 0:12:15 onwards) was made by Thomas Lopatic (Dr.Nobody/HQC) with his own custom editor.
- Unit A tune (from 0:13:25) was not made by Mark II but by Diz/Unit A, title "Unit A 5".
- Thrust intro tune (from 0:29:11) was made by AXK/The Prophets AG, title "Axk10".
- Tristar intro tune (from 0:31:55) was _probably_ done by Flynn/Tristar.
- Cascade intro tune by Fred (from 0:33:12) is called "New Horizon".
RIP Amiga .. my 1st true love!
Hello from France,
I put a thumbs up and listened and watched with pleasure in full.
On my Atari 520 STE (extended to 1 MB of ram on the late) I had more games copied than demos.
1988 30 years ago ... The PC has not been much better since.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonjour depuis la France,
J'ai mis un pouce levé et j'ai écouté et regardé avec plaisir en entier.
Sur mon Atari 520 STE (étendu à 1 Mo de ram sur le tard) j'avais plus de jeux copiés que de démos.
1988 il y a 30 ans... Le PC ne fait pas beaucoup mieux depuis.
59:23 for a banging rendition of Blue Monday!
I like this period 88-89 on amiga
Who needs a girlfriend when you can have a AMIGA?
Amiga means girlfriend.....
I've seen PC demos but hardly any Amiga ones. There are a few DVD's called MindCandy that contain collections of them (I got Volume 1). Volume 2 has Amiga demos, although it seems hard to get right now. :-/ The others may be easier to get.
I recognize the tune on the Mad Monks demo. It's a theme from "Fame". Perhaps someone uploaded the original version of that tune.
listen to the sound-space age-unleashed so much creativity.
I'm well aware of how things got started, but the point is crack intros and the like are not what is known as a demo any more and haven't been since full demos started being made starting back with Budbrain's megademo.
Some are still making demos some makes games. some died :-( and some just left the scene.
however the demoscene is actually still alive. (gahh comments you cant leave decent URls here)
I ran a bbs for Vision/Crystal & Nemesis back in the Amiga days…. I wish I could explain how much fun it was to my daughter, the internet is cool - but something about the USR HST….. 😂…… CENTRUM BBS out…. Reeet-Mon……
Great choons. Though these weren't game tracks, they are tracks played by the loader utilities of cracked games. Rather than hacking the games these guys could've gone on to actually contribute to game development due to having great skills in coding and music making.
Andrew Coyle You're saying all these tracks weren't actually made by actual game developers? My childhood was a lie
+Andrew Coyle It's not that black and white. Most of the tunes were made by Amiga scene people (cracking groups), some are simple cover version of e.g. Depeche Mode, some are indeed game tunes like e.g. Wizball, etc.. In 1988 a lot of people which coded games also were members of cracking groups. Like e.g. Karsten Obarski. He made a lot of tunes for games, but also wrote music for Red Sector (cracking group) ASFAIK.
+4irmann Why would individuals affiliated with the creation and retail of media also be affiliated with the major culprits responsible for the piracy thereof?
It doesn't make sense, unless... _[Cue: "X-Files theme song"...]_
+Mystery of the Sea
Believe it or not ... those were the times :-)
+Andrew Coyle Yes, pirating games was rampant during those days and indeed most of the tracks in the video are from intro's of different crack groups. I think maybe only 1 in 30 games I had was actually purchased, I was around 13-19 at the time. I think many of the people involved in the crack groups, and closely related demo groups, went on to become game developers themselves. At least here in Finland the success of companies like Remedy and Supercell is largely contributed to the old demo scene back in the 80's and 90's.
First I wanted to watch a movie - but then I decided to watch this 1 1/2 hour-amiga-demo-session: it was no waste of time! Thanx for the upload !!!
Lol that workbench disk image... I loved my Amiga, but those guys had zero graphic skill.
I like a bit of the old chip tunery the video was fine for the audio, but I was expecting to watch 91 minutes of the best demos from 1988 as the title suggests.
Thank you very much for your work :-)
WinUAE - the actual 64bit-Version is the best Amiga I ever had - former times A1200 with 68040 - now emulating A4000 with 68060 :-)
So does VICE 64bit an excellent job on C64...
Software is available in tons :-)
Try this: www.planetemu.net/ or this www.c64games.de/phpseiten/spiele.php - have fun :-)
Bought a competition pro with USB - now i am playing M.U.L.E., Kaiser (C64) and HistoryLine, F1GP again - it feels really good - and the old Demos are also available - go for it - get the real feeling!!!
Best wishes for 2018!!!
as a kid back then when around 1987 to 90´s owned an amiga 500 i was coding demos also
Somewhere in the MultiVerse, the AMIGA became the dominant platform...
Good Job 4irmann - I shared on the channel - it shows such great creatives of our time - and yes AMIGA was the bollocks - @ many a rave we had one plugged in to the screens making & mixing visuals on -site at each event - mainly d-paint anims and occasionally running demos - ... wicked!
Red Sector, Kefrens, Bamiga Sector One, Mad Monks, Paranomia, Vision Factory for Demo Party ... (do you remember demo partys over the europe ? R.I.P 😢😢😢) or Melon, Elyseum, Desiderium, Fletch, Noname (xm), Phenomena Enigma, Proxima, Velo Matrix, sure all these names are talking to you. It was a time I ripped demo and games to get music in .mod, .xm etc ... to play with soudtracker, octalyzer, ... and record tapes for my walkman. It was a time, a really good time !
CASCADE IST TOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey JOEBLOGGS.... i think your the Joe i may know... from plymouth yea? Just been looking at all these demo vids. Anyone got the demo where at the biggining it draws a map of the uk to some orchestral type music. I think it went into a menu where you could select different demos. One had a prodigy track & there was one that started free your mind! Would love to see that again :)
Nostalagy
Music 33:12 to 36:04 by musician Fred from Ackerlight the title is very short just: nh
easy to find others musicians if you know where to look.
Music on 15:19 to 18:00 is made by Oberheim musician of Vortex 42, the modul name is correct that it can be found as v42 and the title as I know from other sources is "Track One" and are from the group "Vortex 42" because I want to create that as a copy for the C64 in my music collection which never got finished, I have done tune. But not code.
Umm, if you're really interested in demos, you can get all the info your brain can handle on BitWorld Amiga. For example that 'Big' by Scoopex and 'Shinobi' by Paranoimia were released in 1989.
P.S. Does God/Jesus also get credit for the work of the few people that have carefully collected information about 30000 demos and built that big website? ;)
Wow the spreadpoint scrolling/paralax scene at 1:20 was really cool, I haven't seen anybody do that since then. How did they do that ?
Seriously? Ok... Cracktro by RSI for "Maria's Xmasbox" (yeah, it was one of the countless strippokergames) mod ("telephone") made by Karsten Obarski, game released in 1988 by Anco...
That's about it... Maria Whittaker was "*drool* mmmm..." the game, on the other hand, was pretty boring...
One of the best of all times , never heard this one before , will look through my library to find it and play 😇👍👍
most of us disappeared into nothing, some went into making games, the rest is still doing demos, just on stupid windows now ;)
too bad C= died! :(
i realized this for example last year in just 4096 bytes:

greetz,
hArDy. / TRSi
Too much time starting out, just sitting here staring at one still shot. Then another still shot. Sure the music is fine but... they have radio for that. Over 6 minutes I can't stand to sit here any longer. Atari 800 demos doing so much more.
Why did you call this the best of amiga demos 1988 when you didn't show a single demo? Cracks and intro's are not demos.
They all seem the same to me, these early pioneers. Yes, whilst they all competed with each other, trying to achieve the same basic effects faster and faster compared to their peers, and the music and the learning of the mod format improved over time, it was still essentially bobs, copper bars, sinus scrollers, and so forth, with only the odd occasional demo surmounting the rest. All I'm saying is it only really seemed to take off and become more diverse during the 1990s. So sue me.
I had a C64 and never had an Amiga. I am still disappointed that C= collapsed. I don't think the computer culture these days has quite the same feel as it did in the 80s and early 90s. =(
Sorry to hijack your post 4irman, just came across a remix of Karsten Obarski's Crystal Hammer track called ... Spiral ft Karsten Obarski's Crystal Hammer (2sRPtv_hQ8E)
Well worth checking out
Anyone else buzz off, all that taunts, and slagging each other off, and also the big ups, and respects, between the various cracking houses. Gotta love it. Not to the music is second to none.
Longe de ser um melhores do Amiga. Sem Phenomena ou Quartex.... Tá mais para os piores demos do Amiga! Horrível!
good old ST-01 sounds... I bought my second hand A500 in spring 1989 and got a few discs with demos/intros. Half a year later I went to my first copyparty... Aahh, good times =)
I guess you mean the song "telephone". If you want to listen to it in full length just visit e.g. scenemusic[dot]net or amp[dot]dascene[dot]net. If you can't play the .stk file, let me know, maybe I find the time to render it for you.
The CASCADE demo(36 mins in)..the fucking tune is pure AMIGA..id love to be a kid again, what times
the best computer i saw in my life [AMIGA]
and please if any ony have the name or the music for romance of the three kinkdoms
for amiga please i need it
i still have Amiga 500, 500+, 600, 1200, and unicate amiga 1000 unboxet!!!, and never open it!!!!!
One night i'm going to get utterly wankered on weed, stick this on the big telly and mong out for an hour and a half reminiscing to this....Thanks for the memories....
I just click on share your thoughts and get re-directed to a google log in page...WTF is going on why can't i just comment is it?...
not sure without reading all the post but the music in the DOC demo was a remix of the original FROG song from Demons are forever if that helps.
Paranoimia tune - Search for "Felix Schmidt - Paranoimia". (That other intro with the "rainbow-colored" sinus scroll had a Jochen Hippel-tune.)
Best of ? TBH this looks more like the worst demos on the Amiga, i was an avid demo collector and saw many many other demos that would knock these attempts out of the park.
Yes it some of the best coding time on the old days. Coding the copper chip and make cool copper list programs. Then changed to C and still coding in c. Love to code.
Thanks, you're welcome :-). Indeed astonishing how quick the Amiga scene grew in 87-89
Only 36 minutes in but this has brought back so many great memories of the best era of home computers. Thank you for uploading this!
Great stuff. You have to include this though: th-cam.com/video/sg3luHPd_1g/w-d-xo.html&t if nothing else but for the Romeo Knight factor.
The Quartex one is probably from Karsten Obarski (not 100% sure though) ... but the Paranoimia tune is definately from Felix Schmidt
That "Crystal Hammer" intro tune was one of the first pieces I heard from the Amiga when still on my C128. It blew me away and remained to be my favourite for a long time (until I got tired of the typical "pizza" sample).
Note: a lot of these aren't demos but crack intros :-)
sry4interrupt i made the 1085, hope nobody cares, like it does? iDoNothing@all
We now have xbox and ps4 etc but you can't programme them like you could the Amiga. I had a lot of fun with mine. Doc demo was my favourate.:-)
