"Thanks+Spook" By Silicon Software Company



Year: 1995!

Platform: Commodore 64

Code: Firefoot

Music: Link, Warnock

Graphics: Warnock

CSDB Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=93212

A Third-wave release by SSC, could be considered a "nostalgia" release - 4 years after SSC members had all moved on to other things.  Warnock and Firefoot both have a clearly more polished style here.  Keep it Oldschool!

This is clearly a later work by SSC, more polished than "Winter Haven", and unfortunately not featuring Merlin, who had gone Amiga by this time.  Keep it Oldschool!

I actually did two pages for this demo back in the day, but didn't make it to the linking party.  Merlin's distinct style is clear in all of his pages, hints of good things to come.  Keep it Oldschool!

More amazing work by Avenger.  One can only imagine what he's up to now.  This, I believe, was Apostasy's last demo before some of the members became Havok.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Phase One" By Havok

Phase One is pretty typical for 1991, but so neat and polished - it's one of the most professional-looking demos I've seen.  I'd rate it up there with something Unreal Productions would have done.  Keep it Oldschool!

An amazing array of cool routines.  Posted by request for Elwix.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Flipped" By Vortex



Year: 1991

Platform: Commodore 64

Group: Vortex

Code: Da Blinker, Daisyfarmer

Music: Drax, Jeroen Tel, Metal

Graphics: Da Blinker, Ice Coldkill, Daisyfarmer

Prior to forming "Dream" with The Phantom,  Daisyfarmer, Ice Coldkill, Axe Handle were in a group called "Vortex".  This is a clever 3 pager from Vortex, with an interesting twist on the demo name in page 2.  Rather enjoyable overall.  Keep it Oldschool!
