| Can't resist the urge to comment on old releases.. "Capripholian Waltz" is such an amazing piece of music. :D |

| I finally made it... it seems you are not allowed to change scroll speed. Or I pressed joy down not fast enough in the first tries. So: it's very fast 7 joy downs. |

| @Necro: :-) Imagine proof-reading those scrolltexts over and over again looking for all kind of mistakes. If I remember correctly, reading them all takes 6.5 hours. Or was it 3.5? See, my head is *still* spinning! |

Let alone, the bunch of thoughts packed together would deserve a fat 10. Plus it comes with a really great style and great music.
One downside: after reading all of this, the world seems to be spinning fast around my head :) |

| Despite Oswald's usual comments I give this demo a 10! It was asbolutely fantastic and captured the spirit of "scene" in the most incredible way! Thanks for the entertainment, thanks for _demo_strating to me the beauty of scroll text and old school glamour! |

| For sure this one is a very special demo with a LOT of care for tiny details. Great musics, stunning graphics, slick design and presentation. Surely a production I will keep coming back to once in a while. Especially because I still didn't read all the scrollers yet. :) |

Retro nostalgia oldschool, therefore not a demo for me I'm afraid. Very skillfully executed though, but that's no wonder if you look at the list of people involved.
And hey, nice to see Morpheus liking it so much. |

| Niceish demo, dunno what all the hype is about though. Ive never really followed the scene closely, so I dont know who most of these people are :) for me its a demo with a scroller :D |

| So do I, Oswald... But I also like the demos that have some sort of atmosphere beyond just nice visual effects, hardcore coding, nice music... In this particular demo it is a feeling of something special that is a combination of everything in this demo ... it's hard to put a finger on a specific thing... in some demos one can easily put a finger on a single factor... I can't do that in this demo... besides... I fully respect having different taste... Still nice to hear what different people turn on ;) ... No matter what.. I like this demo ;)... I am also a nostalgic fool ;) |

| morpheus, I appreciate that you gathered all the old ppl, and the quality of the whole thing, but for me a demo must be spectacular show off, besides if you have ever coded and linked a 2 sider trackmo then you would know that nagging ppl is a little effort compared to that. Drax, I prefer something visually new in a demo, more than something that is nice but I've seen it 100 times already. |

| Well, I enjoyed making the music for the demo and I enjoy watching the demo. A demo for me is not just hardcore code - actually (today) I really don't care that much if there is hardcore code in it if it looks sucky... Alot of work has been done on this demo and I want to give a high vote for that and for the retro feeling that is in this demo... But giving this demo "1" is definately childish... About transparent votings... I am not sure... you can't just change it - people may have different reasons for voting anonymously - I can think of a few reasons... But deliberate downvoting sucks... If the voting system is to be transparent then you can only do it with newer votes and not reveal the votes people have given under the assumption that they voted anonymously... |

| @Oswald, you can think what you will if it, no prob, it's your damn right! But you're missing the whole point with the demo. If you want cool wobbly/hard coded/twitching effects, this demo is not for you. And I do think effort counts in a case like this. Try to get 64 people to write a scrolltext 15-20 years after they quit, and let's see if you manage to get half of it together. Then mail the musicians and the artists and get them to do something new on the C64. |

| morpheus, a demo with spectacular effects/visual or very good design / story telling may belong to the top 10. A "demo" without a single effect does not belong there. A demo where the only show off is the list of big names is not a demo. I want to see some real codings, real effects, some effort for the 'wow' factor, which is forgotten these days too much. There's nothing in here I havent seen already 20 times. |

| IMO this isn't top ten material, but it sure is good. Effort or quantity in credits alone does not make top ten; it's all about the impact the demo leaves. One of the nicest releases this year, though. |

@WG: OK, I made the demo with a lot of help from my friends, but if you had any idea how long it took to get this stuff together, you would maybe have more respect for it. Yes, I think it belongs on the top 10 list, and there's many reasons for it. One is the amount of stuff we have in there. Like Drax said, it's a demo you return to because there's so much to read, look at and listen to. And it looks fucking good!
@CSDb-staff: Take away the function where you can hide your votes. That's stupid, and it makes it possible for the dickhead down-voters to continue down-vote. Give me a good reason why this function should still be there. If you cast a vote, stand by it! |

| top quality well done demo, with a lot of comebacks, however I agree with wg :) I'd rather see HCL to code some new effects instead of reinventing the wheel, even if in a top quality way. |

| Hmmm. Some of you know what I think of this kind of demos. "Nothing special, really". Nevertheless, I have learned my lessons and will not "Downvote". Question remains: does it deserve a top ten rating? |

| This is really an interesting demo. It kinda grows... It is simply interesting to read all those nice scroll texts... it certainly brings back memories of the past. And thanks to you Andreas for keep telling me that Capripholian Waltz is a great tune. I must admit that it fit the Batman graphics very well ;) ... Thanks alot... This is the type of demo that I get back to now and then... |

Love this demo; a lot of old skool feeling and tons of scrollers.
Some of the scrolltexts would've benefited from some spellchecking though ;)

| Some comments about the picture of a couple in the hidden part. It's a (bad) convertion of a photo of me and my wife, but at that time we were not yet married, and also this demo was supposed to be released long time before we would have our wedding. The whole plan was to do some magic by adding this picture, but not telling anyone until after our wedding. Then afterwards we could pop up in this demo like two rabbits from the hat :). There is one more hidden thing btw, it's in the picture somewhere. Just keep on searching :). |

| Old school meets new school in this work of art, the lost art of scrollies kick ya right in the knackers with an abundance of "legends" chipping in to write them. Oh, and the Batman part gfx and music are sublime |

Yeehaaw!!
Finally something with lots of text to read,and outstanding work on all other fronts aswell! 8D
Funny how Redstar+HCL kept Andreas in the dark about the LOGIC-part.. LOL!
Wonderful work from (old-)legends on both the graphical and musical parts. 8)
The texts are so numerous,there´s still some left to be read..
Oh,who is that couple on the hidden picture?
They look very happy,maybe even married recently?..

This production creates a very relaxing and special mood I didn't felt for a long time watching a c64 demo (last time it was maybe back in early 1990's). Spending much time reading the scrolltext and listening to the fab musics and watching some nice effects. With the hidden goodies it's even more precious. Btw If HCL didn't mention in the hidden text the difficulties with last part including spritelayered bitmapscroll I think nobody would notice it.
Even though it's not a typical compo blockbuster demo, it's still my #2 from X. |

| This is actually more than a demo. If we just take it as a demo, it looks like a 1995 compo winner demo. But as a whole production with all those musics, scroll texts etc, it's just perfect! Morpheus sould be very happy to work with HCL. Good choice :) |

| OK, this message is pointed to HCL and Redstar directly: YOU BASTARDS!! I'm sitting here writing this after talking to Redstar who asked me if I had found the hidden part in the demo yet. Hold it now... Hidden part? I didn't design no hidden part! You've been cooking things up behind by back! And here I thought I had perfect dictator-control over this demo. ;) I knew you had something going but I thought Redstar wanted help to finish a new Logic demo or something. And you didn't tell me anything during the whole party David!!! This was surely a nice surprise! Thanks guys! |

| It's nicely put together and it's good to see all these names releasing new things, but it feels quite safe, in some cases just people doing what they've always done. Would've been nice to see the boundries being pushed a little more. |

This got a nine just for getting all those people together to write text... but the fact is that it deserved it for everything else too. =-)
Slight addendum; i now utterly love Moments Of Everydayness totally but it's stuck in my head and i won't be able to sleep - who should i email to complain?! |
