It would be hard to overstate the impact that Harcore/Abyss had on the NTSC demo scene.  For a lot of us, this was the first time we'd seen FLD or learned that it was simply a VIC trick.  Aside from that, it's a true masterpiece given the time in which it was released.  This is what I consider a 5 star demo for 1988.

Keep it Oldschool!
