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!

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!

A very small concept demo. Reminds me of the movie "Repo Man" for some reason. Keep it Oldschool!
"Solo 3" By Warnock (Arson)

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

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!

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

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=44535
Captured By: Six/DLoC (Oliver VieBrooks)
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!
