How many years does the C64 have remaining?
With activity down, combined with appearances of sceneres releasing old stuff created years back, I wonder how much the C64 scene can continue?

Define mega demo...and what exactly was the last mega demo released in your opinion sir?

Does that mean you won't be starting any more of these wonderful topics? :( Please say it isn't so!!
define Mega Demo? Oh. Er. Well...
I think size plays a part, and level's of awesomeness. Awesomeness comes in all formes, from graphics, sound, design, breaking records. I'm not sure what the last mega demo was (I'll get back to you on that one, later on during this post). Black Mail's Dutch Breeze is a Mega Demo, Booze Design's Royal Arte is a Mega demo, Crest's Ice Cream Castle is a Mega demo, Camelot's Tower Power is a Mega demo, Reflex's Mathmatica is a mega demo, Censor's Spasmolytic is a Mega demo. Krestology springs to mind, although at times it feels like the king of grahpic shows, rather than a Mega demo. As for the last mega demo (today being 6th December 2007 and only 19 days to santa arrvies - Yay!) Deus Ex Machina may well be the one :)

indeed. "megademo" is a term that doesnt really apply to any of the demos you mention =) |

Also, DEM is older than Royal Arte, so even if the demos on your list would qualify, it wouldn't have been the last.
A mega-demo imho is mostly a (large) collection of parts, spacebar-pressing-enabled. It also needs a certain 'feeling', hence Visual Delight 2 isn't one, but Sex and Violence most certainly is ;)
I think it's a thing of the 80's, to be honest.

what TDJ said :) a "megademo" typically equals an inconsistant collection of "parts" which are barely more than intros :=) |

So basically something along the lines of Singles Collection Volume 2 ;) An incoherent collection of random demo "pages" (hello to our NTSC friends <3) filling up a diskside or two...? :)
Yes...I can see why you'd want to see the "return" of that sort of stuff. |

When I got into the scene back in 1989-90, it seemed pretty much on its last breath, since most people seemed to be moving to Amiga. And I also remember reading an interview with someone in a disk mag in the early 90's predicting that the C64 scene would last until 2000, which I just lolled about. So I just pretty much consider whatever there's left as a bonus.

A friend of mine bought his C64 in 1985/1986 and was told by the guy at the store that he should buy an Amstrad CPC instead, because the C64 would be dead soon :) |
