Aged demo by today's standards, but I get that it was top of the bill once. Progress is inevitable and good. The demo itself bored me tbh, apart from the excellent pictures and the SIDs which are still gold.

Dutch Breeze is a different story. That art is also timeless gold.

Well, according to Who's in da House by House Design (released july 1989) Black Mail would release their new demo on venlo (Buzz of BlackMail phoned Shez and said the new demo was comming out tommorow). That would make the release date july 15th, which still lines up with Freestyle's guess, but i guess a bit closer to that party. Changed accordingly, if anyone knows better, please let us know!

I remember this demo came out a few wees prior to Crazy + Stardom Copy-Party 1989. I had ripped a track which I wanted to use for our party demo. I guess the demo must have been released around May then. If anyone knows better, please change again.

There are some disturbing parts in this demo, for instance the sampled music while loading at the same time. The totally excellent graphics of a monster with blinking eyes. Graphics scrolling vertically, etc. All this has been copied in the dousin:

Random Examples:

monsters & stuff:

Wonderland IX
Wok Zombie
Motivation 2

scrolls & stuff:

Manga Overdose
Royal Arte 100%

hmmm. Oh and by the way. This was also one of my favorites back in the day.

Of course it should be valid to judge this by today's standards. What else is progress for? Saying this can't/shouldn't be judged by today's standards is like saying a top-of-the-line 1964 TV set is as good as a 2004 one, just because it was considered good back in the day. There certainly are better demos than this, though this isn't bad at all, especially considering the age.

A definite milestone in C64 scenehistory. Setting new standards to graphics, music, code and design.

Giving this demo a lousy 3 ? looks like some dimwit tried to judge this classic piece by todays standards and totally missed his class. Man, get your shit straight and do your homework you gotta be kidding me.

This surely is one of the greatest demos of all times. It blew everything and everyone away. The Awesome FLI and some of the best Music by 20cc.

This was a mindbender to the scene. After the its release almost everybody came up with similair effects and graphics like the "periscope part" features.

Also this was maybe the first demo that brought the perfect mixture of neat graphics, excellent music and superb code.

It is what I would call "well designed" in all of its parts.
