As mentioned in previous video texts, FBR rose quickly in the late 80's to dominate the US scene. This video is a collection of their intros, 32 to be exact, almost an hour and a half of video. Enjoy, and ... Keep It Oldschool!

"Farewell" By FBR

A farewell demo from one of the most influential groups in the US scene, this is mostly a collection of their past intros. There's a lot of back-story as to why and how FBR decided to hang it up, but I will simply leave it as "internal conflicts". The core members went on to form the group "Intense". Keep it Oldschool!

Here we have a linked video show of all of the intros from the group "Abyss" that I could find.   Founded in 1987 by LongShot and Raster Blaster, Abyss grew over the next year to become one of the more influential groups of 1988.  Riddled by infighting, member-defection, and accusations of intro-ripping, the group dissolved in 1988.  Whatever you think of Abyss (I always thought they were great), there's no denying their influence in the intro scene. The sprite motion in #5 really stands out, but they're all gems.  Above, you will find links to the ABYSS page on Intros.c64.org, as well as a link to a D64 image containing all of these intros.  ENJOY, and...

Here we have a linked video show of all of the intros from the group "Exodus" that I could find.  These span the group's entire run, from its early days as a fledgling import group, to its near-complete dominance of the US import scene.  As someone who got their start as an intro coder, intros have always held a special magic for me.  I can still remember seeing some of these for the first time, and even 30 years later the magic hasn't faded.  Above, you will find links to the Exodus page on Intros.c64.org, as well as a link to a D64 image containing all of these intros.  ENJOY, and... Keep It Oldschool!

"Power and Passion" By Exodus

Year: 1988

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)

Group: Exodus

Code: Aggressor, Cult, Freddy Krueger, Vector, Wanderer

Music: Jeroen Soede, Jeroen Tel, Link, Rob Hubbard

Graphics: Aggressor, Cult, Freddy Krueger, Vector, Wanderer

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

This demo seems to represent an early split point in the group's history.  I'm not aware of any further demos from them, so I suspect that the focus shifted solely to importing/cracking over the course of 1988.  It's an interesting window into the mindset of the group at the time.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Generic" By Havok

Year: 1989
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Demo (single-file, single-page)
Group: Havok
CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=44528

A very small concept demo. Reminds me of the movie "Repo Man" for some reason. Keep it Oldschool!

"Solo 3" By Warnock (Arson)

Year: 1991
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)
Group: Arson (see note)
Code: Warnock

Text: Warnock
CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=16489

5 pages of pure Warnock style, I really enjoyed this demo. Warnock has a truly distinctive musical style defined by overdriven percussion. This one comes from near the end of his run in Arson. Keep it Oldschool!

"Brain Damage" By Entity

Year: 1991
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)
Group: Entity
Code: XynamaX

Short and to the point, the graphics are nice and the routines are smooth. The reflected scroller bit on the 2nd page was an inspiration for Drip/DLoC. Nice flippy DYCP on the last page. Keep it Oldschool!

"Pizza" By Venom and Havok

Year: 1989
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Demo (single-page, single-file)
Group: Havok, Venom
Code: Eclipse
Graphics: Raster Blaster
Music: Rock
CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=44535

A single-pager co-op from members of Havok and Venom, there's nothing groundbreaking in this one, just a solid example of the demos of 1989. Keep it Oldschool!

"Tubular Bells" By Clever Music

Year: 1985

Another in the same vein as "Swinth", Tubular Bells was one of those demos that seemed to be on every other floppy. Keep It Oldschool!

"Swinth"

Year: 1985
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Wild (hybrid demo made by combining other productions)

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)
Based on two earlier productions, "Swish" and "Synth Sample", this spread like wildfire in the mid-80s disk swapping scene. It was on a disk with "Hawaii Movie" and a number of other early classics - some of you may have picked up on that theme for the past few weeks :) Many of us old-timers have fond memories of those days, when every disk was a potential treasure chest of gems like this.
Keep it Oldschool!

"Aquarium"

Year: Unknown

Group: N/A
Code: Unknown
Graphics: Unknown
Music: N/A
CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=31191

Of unknown origin and vintage (the BASIC listing gives no clues), this is a simple simulation of an aquarium, complete with plants and a goldfish.
Yes. I recorded an hour an a half of this.
Keep It Oldschool!

"Barbaric" By Hal

Year: 1987
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Demo (single-file)
Group: N/A
Code: Hal (Not "Ron")
Music: Rob Hubbard (Not "Ron Smith")
Graphics: Ste Pickford
CSDB Link (original version): http://csdb.dk/release/?id=13356
Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)
This demo was distributed in the US in hacked form, with the original author's credits removed. As that's the version I remember, that's the version I vidcapped. Who "Ron Smith" was is lost in history. The demo is actually by Hal, who did a few demos centered around this effect. The music, of course, is "Knucklebusters" by the almighty Rob Hubbard, and is one of the best tunes to ever grace the 64. I used to watch this demo for hours at a time, it's just that awesome. Keep it Oldschool!

"Silicate Omen" By The Wanted

Year: 1991
Platform: Commodore 64
Type: Demo (multi-file, multi-page)
Group: The Wanted

Music: JCH, Link
Graphics: Biohazard

An interesting piece from The Wanted, a group out of Canada that I'd actually never heard of until I started capping these demos. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of their catalog. Keep It Oldschool!

"Hawaii Movie"

The origins of this PETSCII masterpiece are unknown.  The BASIC listing doesn't give any insight.  I first remember seeing it on a swap disk on the C64 in the winter of 1983 or 1984.  Some say it started out as a demo on the Commodore PET.  In any event, it's a cute, quirky little production, only takes a few minutes to watch, and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have over the years.  Keep It Oldschool!

"At the Beach" By Canadian Pirating Federation

Year: 1988

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)

Group: Canadian Pirating Federation

Code: Satan

Music: Demon, Matt Gray, The Sad Sausage

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=92020

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

An early entry from Wanderer/Satan - could this be his original group?  The scrolltext suggests they're all locals.  An interesting look into the early days of one of the more prolific coders in the old scene.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Show 'Em What Ya Got" Co-op by Forces of Evil and Arson

Year: 1990

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)

Group(s): Forces of Evil, Arson

Code: Elwix, The Phantom, Tiamat, Wrong Way

Music: Brandis, Drax, Henning Rokling, JCH, Jess

Graphics: Manfred Trenz, Omega Factor, The Phantom

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=27171

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

I always liked co-ops, and this is no exception.  There are some creative routines in here (that twist-scroller for instance) that were way ahead of their time.  All in all a really nice watch, with some interesting group history from Tiamat in his upscrollers.  Keep It Oldschool!

"Grimoire" By Armageddon

Year: 1992

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (multi-file, multi-page)

Group: Armageddon

Code: D Cipher, Destiny, Stonefish

Music: Deek, Griff, Jeroen Tel, Sabre

Graphics: D Cipher, Groo, Stonefish, Topper

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=2967

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

Coming right after the merger, the obvious point of this demo was to use up all of the remaining "Grimoire" graphics they had laying around.  A nice production, but the dir listing leaves one wondering what happened to part #4. Keep it Oldschool!

"We Got Balls" By 215

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (multi-page, multi-file)

Group: 215

Code: Kraker Kidd, Warlord

Music: Deathangel's Shadow, JCH, Link, Reverb, Reyn Ouwehand

Graphics: Dutchman, Warlord

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=11453

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

One of the most enjoyable thing about 215 demos is the extreme scene craptalking.  This demo doesn't disappoint.  There are some cool routines, nothing technically groundbreaking, but the pages have a really fun feel to them.  This would be a good party background demo.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Wait Up" By 215

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-page)

Group: 215

Code: Warlord or Dutchman(?)

A big multi-pager group compo, this demo doesn't dissapoint.  There's a little something for everyone in this one, DYCPs, giant scrollers, parallaxing, open borders, and a plotter!  Keep It Oldschool!

"Debut" By Incursion

An EARLY one from Wanderer, the first page looks like it's in BASIC.  Cool to see something from this early in the career of someone who produced so much over the years!  Keep It Oldschool!

"Into Oblivion" By Lords

When I first saw that logo stretcher on page 3 (back in 1990), I was at a loss to figure out how they did it.  Another strong showing by Lords!  Keep it Oldschool!

"Out To Lunch" By Lords (SFW Version)

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (multi-file)

Group: Lords

Code: Doctor O, Reverb

Music: Reverb, Sequencer

Graphics: Morrissey

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=11153

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

Before I say anything about the demo itself, please note that page 4 has been CENSORED to meet youtube's community guidelines.  An uncensored version will be available on commodoresixtyfour.com at a later date.  Out 2 Lunch is a strong production from Lords.  Reverb and Sequencer soundtrack Morrissey's top-notch graphics, and the whole thing is supported by solid code from Doctor O and Reverb.  If anything could be said to be missing from the whole thing, it'd probably be a loader routine.  All in all, one of those demos that really stays with you.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Stetsa" By New Age

Some interesting effects and claims from Fantasy.   I'm not sure that last page is quite the masterpiece of technical achievement he thought it was, even for 1988, but it's a good demo for it's time.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Tangerine Dreams" By Realistic

Graphics: Alter Ego, AceMan, The Phantom

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=23645

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

A rare FOE demo where most of the graphics are done by someone other than The Phantom and he really starts to focus on code.  Alter Ego's graphics shine, The Phantom's code is clever and creative.  This is one of the better demos in the FOE catalog.  Keep It Oldschool!

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

FOE does it again with this massive multi-pager.  There are some simple pages, and some not so simple pages.  Probably the highlight for me was page 6 - it requires a 128 to run, as its routines require 2Mhz mode.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Morbid" By Forces Of Evil

Year: 1995

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single disk side)

Group: Forces of Evil

Code: The Phantom, Paladin

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

The video starts with a couple of noters that were on the disk.  If you don't care to read them, skip ahead.  First up is an intro page with some standard effects.  The demo builds, each page getting more and more complex, culminating in a CRAZY giant plasma logo flex thingy.  Amazing work for a two-man team.  The Phantom does it again.  Keep it Oldschool!

The logo motion on the first page is mesmerizing, and they follow this up with a vector scroller page featuring the green guy.  The third page brings us a really inventive logo swing.  This is followed by a vector page, and then the end credits.  Keep it Oldschool!

Somehow I managed to totally miss Oddity back in the 90s.  I had heard of Stonefish and Topper, but I'd never seen an Oddity demo.  Given the heads-up by French Hawk, I checked them out recently , and they're awesome!  Unfortunately, only TWO of their demos are available on CSDB as of 3/18/2017.  If anyone has more demos by Oddity, PLEASE upload them or send them my way.  Thanks, and Keep it Oldschool!

"Martyr" By Time

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

I remember seeing this one back in 95, and it got me really charged to do demos again.  French Hawk's logos are done in an interesting style - I think he could have made a go in a group just as a logo artist.  The concept of guest scrollers is interesting as well, lots of familiar names from the old IRC #c-64 on efnet in here.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Battydemo" By Roy Batty

Group: N/A

Code: TheFatman

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=9279

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

This was one of the earlier things I could find by TheFatman.  Quirky and self-deprecating, TheFatman's demos have a simple,  honest charm you won't find in most first or second-wave productions.  There's a feeling of real authenticity to it - something lacking in many productions.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Carcass" By Grimoire

Year: 1992

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=2980

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

I really enjoyed this one.  The plotter on the first page is well done, there's a cool minimalist logo there with a cityscape superimposed on it, and an interesting design quirk - grey background.  Then on to the second page - not a complex page, but look at how well he leveraged that text effect.  This two-pager is a must-see!  Keep it Oldschool!

"The Black Genesis" By Grimoire

A small BBS ad for "The Black Genesis BBS" - the flicker is organic. I tried a number of different VIC settings before finally concluding that the coders must simply have had a monitor with a narrow border. Keep it Oldschool!

Wow, what to even say about this one - I really wish I could find all of the missing pages.  It's a huge multi-filer from Havok, with the caveat that these were the pages that were finished.  There are some great routines here - including the world's most tedious scroller.  Enjoy the show.  Keep it Oldschool!

Alpha Design was sort of a "friend of a friend" group back in the day - I was in a group with one of their members.  This is a simple single-pager that also seems to serve as a BBS ad.  Awesome scene craptalk in that scroller.  Keep it Oldschool!

An interesting third-wave demo by a group I'd never heard of until tonight.  A few cool effects, and the second page has a distinctly Electron-ish feel to it in the way it builds the page up from a single scroller.  It would have been nice to see where this coder's skills went with some more time.  Keep it Oldschool!

I'm almost of the opinion that there were two groups called VILE.  There doesn't seem to be any member-crossover between this and "State of Mind".  In any event, I believe this represents some of Codey's earlier work.  Codey ( http://csdb.dk/scener/?id=2990 ) came into the scene in the later part of the second wave (1990/1991), and showed amazing talent right from the start.  This demo showcases his early work.  Keep it Oldschool!

Screaming Euphoria was on my radar back in the day because Robin Hood was briefly a member.  However, I've never seen other releases from this group besides this farewell demo.  Well coded and fun to watch, SE's farewell release does them credit.  Note:  There is a bug in the version of this demo on CSDB that makes the transition from 5th page to 6th lock.  I used this as an opportunity to display the directory artwork.  Keep it Oldschool!

I originally saw this intro in the wild, looked for it for quite some time before finding it on intros.c64.org.  It seems that it wasn't spread very much before Bencor Brothers folded in late 1987.  There are others out there of similar quality, but they're not catalogged yet.  Keep it Oldschool!

"MXR" by Millenium

Year: 1996

Platform: Commodore 64

Group: Millenium

Code: Fungus

Music: Drax

Graphics: Fungus

This typifies what I like to call "Third wave NTSC"  The major groups had all come and gone, the games had dried up.  Most people had moved on to the PC.  But along came a community of dedicated enthusiasts, determined to unlock the final hidden secrets of the VIC and SID.   You see a return to some of the simpler single-man DIY productions that typified the early 80s.  This particular production marks the beginning of the career of one of the most well-known people in NTSC - Fungus.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Mind Demo" by The Mind Masters

Year: 1988

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, 3 pages)

Group: The Mind Masters

Code: Grey Mouser, White Demon

Music: Laxity, Rock, Speed Demon

Graphics: Grey Mouser, White Demon

If there was a "punk rock" category of C64 demos, TMM would be in it.  Gritty and raw, their work may not appeal to everyone, but it has an inner honesty that more polished productions lack.  I've always liked the second page of this one, it's a good candidate for extending into the borders and adding DYSP.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Agony" By Unreal Productions

Year: 1992

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (full-disk, multipart with irq loader - I call this a "dentro")

Group: Unreal Productions

Code: Streetkiller

Music: Jeroen Tel, Link, Sequencer

Graphics: Vision, Chaos, Slick!, Wizard of Odd

Loader: ANM

After Apostasy stopped making demos, Vision went on to do graphics for Unreal Productions.  This demo represents one of the most polished productions ever to grace NTSC-land.  Later, Vision would re-unite with Avenger in the group, Havok, and Streetkiller would go on to code for Shade.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Fruity Pebbles" By Apostasy

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, two-page)

Group: Apostasy

Code: Avenger

Music: Louie, Source

Graphics: Vision

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=58841

Tonight, we bring you two single-filers from a rather obscure group called Apostasy.  You may recognize the names from a more well known group, because Apostasy went on to become Havok.  These small two-man effort pages are from that brief time when they were looking to expand - but people with their level of talent never stayed solo long.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Animus" By Apostasy

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, single-page)

Group: Apostasy

Code: Avenger

Music: Izeyestop

Graphics: Vision

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=59816

This was the first demo by the two-man team known as Apostasy, later absorbed into Havok.

"Happy" By Flea and Cybernoid

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (multi-file, multi-page)

Group: None.

Code: Flea

Music: Danko, EVS, JCH

Graphics: Cybernoid, Flea

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=100012

A neat little multi-pager from 1991, this was an indy production by Flea and Cybernoid before joined Storm.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Jungle" by Electron

Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Group: Electron

Code: Dokken, The Gambler

Music: Crockett, Drax, JCH, Lizard, Markus Schneider, Metal

Graphics: Dokken, The Gambler

Charset: Dokken, The Gambler

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=11741

Captured by: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

This one really represents the turning point for Electron.  Every page is top-notch, with good effects, interesting logos, and music that fits the page.  The blue page is a monument to good design.  Every time I watch one of these old Electron demos, I'm blown away by Dokkens' skill and attention to detail.  Electron truly is the #1 NTSC demo group in my book.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Random Access" By Venom

Year: 1988

Platform: Commodore 64

Group: Venom

Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)

Code: Fury

Music: JCH, Future_Freak, Image, Schneider

Graphics: Fury

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=85623

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

This early offering from Venom has some technical issues, but interesting rasters.  This is the only Venom demo done mostly by Fury, as far as I know.  Keep It Oldschool!

"Serenity" by The Survivors

Year: 1988

Platform: Commodore 64

Group: The Survivors

Type: Demo (single-file, multi-page)

Code: Satan

Music: Gilles Soulet, Jeroen Tel, Mike

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=8652

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)



A reasonably standard offering from Satan/Wanderer during his days in The Survivors.  The standout effect in this demo is the odd scroller on page 2.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Can't Touch This" By Arson

Year: 1990

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single file, 2 pages)

Group: Arson

Code: Too Tall

Music: JCH, Matt Gray, Antony Crowther

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=8097

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

An early Arson demo - sets the stage for things to come.  Nothing fancy,but good linking and engaging scrolltexts.  Keep It Oldschool!

"Grand Posse" by Plague

Year: 1991

Platform: C64

Type: Demo (Whole disk with selector)

Group: Plague

Code: Metal

Music: Elton de Hoog, EVS, Griff, JCH, Speed Demon, TDM

Graphics: Lupin, Mike

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=17623

Captured by: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

Widely considered one of the best NTSC demos of all time, "Grand Posse" doesn't disappoint.  The graphics, the effects, the music, all come together in a smooth, nicely-build production that gives us around an hour of demo viewing time.  One wonders what Lupin and the crew could have produced had they stuck together as Plague.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Zer0 Reality" by Revenge

Year: 1992

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (singlefile, two-page)

Group: Revenge

Code: Bonestripper

Music: JCH, Link

Graphics: Digi-Haze

This BBS Ad has exactly the smooth, polished look you'd expect from a 1992 production. Keep it Oldschool!

"Undead Again" by Carcass

Year: 2005

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (full disk)

Group: Carcass

Code: Necro

Music: Necro

Graphics: Necro

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=17762

Today we have a relatively new one from 2005!  This 3 pager by Necro has some really revolutionary routines in it, check out the video player in the last page.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Darkness" by FOE

Year: 1989

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file, two-page)

Group: FOE

Code: The Phantom, Wrong Way

Music: EVS, Rock

Graphics: The Phantom, Wrong Way, Apollyon, Conan

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=27181

An early FOE release, you can see the beginning of Phantom's graphic style - I'm guessing that weird rasterbar on the first page was Wrong Way's work.  The big scroller on the second page is LOOOOOOOOONG.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Axis" by Havok

Year:  1990

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file)

Code: The Forgotten One

Music: Chris, Matt Gray, Rock

Graphics: The Anarchist, The Forgotten One

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=22754

I've always rather liked this one, it sums up what NTSC demos were in 1990 rather nicely - DYCPs, split rasters, big scrollers...

Keep it Oldschool!

"Wicked" by Havok

Year: 1989

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file)

Code: Eclipse

Music: EVS

Graphics: Eclipse

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=44530

I always like blow-through effects like the one on the logo here with the sinus behind it. Nice multipager from Havok, but not their best.

Keep it Oldschool!

"Shitty" by Havok

Year:  1989

Platform: Commodore 64

Type: Demo (single-file)

Code: The Instigist

The title says it all.  Nice early attempt at split rasters.

Keep it Oldschool!
