Back after 35 years, which "mega" demos will blow my socks off!!

Hi,

Apart from the current Top 10 Demos, Next Level, Mojo, Coma Light 13, and so on. What have I missed?

When I left the 64 in 87 for the ST and Amiga, 64 demos were just an intro, scroller, press space and that was it.

What I find is amanzing is the ones I've mentioned above, are like Trackmos/Megademos on the Amiga - I didn't even know that was possible!

Anyway, which "megademo" is a must have?

Thanks, hope everyone is well.

Even late 80s if we look at

when 'Mega Demo' actually was a word :D
I was digging these a lot, so much I even bothered fixing one from 1988 some 27 years later
FHGHG aka Revolution by Agile 101% [fix]

Just kidding, seriously: Term 'Mega Demo' came out of fashion as everything's gotta be TrackMo since... well, I guess since Millennium. Personally, I'd define Mega Demo sth like any multipart demo loading from disk but without trackloader.

In my book, the turning point on C-64 was as early as mid-1992.

And "trackloader" still doesn't make much sense on C-64, unlike Amiga where the term originates. =)

Top or notable demos for each year would be a nice resource.

Assembly64 does it for you already with its top20 demos an top20 onefilers per year collections. To an extent though, as 'notable' and 'top ranked' are not always synonyms.

Actually the top20 demos gives you much more than just the top20 per year, which is nice.

Anyway, as far as essential modern-ish C64 trackmos go, I think a lot of sceners (from the C64 scene and beyond) still hold Edge of Disgrace in very high regard. My personal favourite might be Old Men in Used Cars.


Yes mate. :)
