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!

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!

Code: Satan

Music: Red

Graphics: Commodore Convict

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/edit.php?id=13005

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

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



Year: 1990

Platform: Commodore 64

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

Group: Lords

Code: Doctor O, Guardian

Music: Reverb, Sequencer

Graphics: Morrissey

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=32253

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

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!

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!

Year: 1990

Platform: Commodore 64

Group: Realistic

Code: Deaks or, No Sync

Music: No Sync

Graphics: Deaks

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=11043

Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)

Realistic was a group that produced at least two big names in the scene - Deaks and No Sync.  Further information on them is spotty.   Keep It Oldschool!

This was the only demo I could find by Tension, and information on the group is pretty thin.  Desire did at least one page for Legion, and there's some interesting info in the scroller about why he went solo.  Keep it Oldschool!

Is it a demo, or is it an ad for a car?  Who knows - the scrolltext certainly doesn't help sort it out.  A solid example of first-wave scene style.  Keep It Oldschool!

A nice little multi-pager with a really cool loader screen from Arcane.  There's a clever FLD/FLI page in there, a plotter scroller that's all but impossible to read ;), a guest page by Natas - check it out!  Keep it Oldschool!
