Most Technical Intros
For the most part, extremely technical coding has been reserved for demos. What intros used on a regular basis were over the top? I remember Genesis Project used a circular mulitplexer on one of their intros. Add on... |

Trigger & Jatagan.. my intro-heros.
Not sure if they made the most technical intros.. i fail to see that. they sure did inspire many. |

Bacco is my #1. Very underrated coder and designer. Some of the Arcade-intros by him which aren't up on intros.c64.org is really stunning. And we shouldn't forget S.E.S. either. |

Personally I must say my favorites is the original Triad intro from 1987 - http://intros.c64.org/intros/triad-01.png and the one Janitor modfied later on - http://intros.c64.org/intros/triad-02.png.
Also the famous Fairlight intro: http://intros.c64.org/intros/flt-01.png.
2 more intros I could think of were these 2000AD: http://intros.c64.org/intros/2000ad-02.png and http://intros.c64.org/intros/2000ad-01.png
These are not visually hard to do, but the intros were using so few bytes of memory including the scroll text.
About great looking intros with nice effects I can see conrad put a few of them, but the famous TPI intro which were done in 1987 I think. http://intros.c64.org/intros/tpi-01.png

I think we should keep it mind this thread is about 'technically great' demos, not 'just great' demos. |

you mean intros. btw I'm alone thinking that famous FLT intro blows? :) guess coz I havent seen it in its day. btw most intros ppl list here has only historical value imho. i mean, the hordes of examples linked in showing nothing but scrollers rasters+logo is anything than creative or technically outstanding. |

Intros yes, ofcourse (that will teach me to write a post while trying to watch a football game at the same time). |

Mine were listed because its technically great - needs some knowledge and work to make the intro as short as the Triad intro - If I remember correct its less than 2 blocks including scrolltext. |
