why is Top Priority/Contex is is a milestone on the c64 demos scene
lets begin for the ppl who don't familiar with this demo , go and see it. now! its a great one believe me, but i'm pretty sure most of the ppl already saw the demo from 1989 made by Contex boys (Cycleburner,flex and others) . this pure gold demo!! good hot chocolate ,its (for me at least) a milestone in the C64 demo history and i think ppl tend to downgrade of the impact of the demo on the demo scebe onward . i choose (after deep thinking) for this demo deserve to be in top 10 demos of all times , its was massively discussed if its appropriate to compare nowadays demos with its utterly significant progress in the code music and gfx , but i think no demo till today have the great impact of style like this one. don't get me wrong !! we all doing great fabulous demos which beat this demo in every parameter , nevertheless this demo is a milestone of combination digi sound +code and gfx and for its maybe the best demo ever made on the commodore C64 .this was 5 cent of "Top Priority" demo as a milestone in C64 demos but also for Amiga demos (9 fingers) . don't us forget the history so will know better the future . |

@Groepaz: i don't call for A Drama . i emphasized its my only opinion and its okay to discuss about it . not every post should kindle a wildfire . i just want to get the focus of a really great old school demo which somehow lost in the history of achievements. |

@Oswald: your top 10 are for sure not my top 10 and its totally okay !! we are (probably) different , you come from the new shcool approach , i come from the 1988-1990 approach. |

hey Dr.J, nice topic!
that demo from Contex kix for sure, especially because of the cool digi (but I still prefer those fab tunes by Future Freak, check some old Dexion demos).
btw: your former group "The Force" did a demo that it's in my personal top10: vector-victory! it's quite old, but it still rocks for me! :) |
