What demos would you recommend for outsiders?
I am going to show a bunch of people that have no clue about demos what the C64 demoscene is all about, and want to present a few demos.
Which demos do you think are good for impressing people who've never seen a demo? |

Something action-packed from the start. Usually these kinds of people lose interest if there's too much "[groupname] presents" text and gfx in the first minute. |

I think, in order to get someone to like a platform they've never seen, you should show them one of the earlier demos of the c64. This way, they can laugh and look at you the way most friends do when they think you're crazy.
While the laughing is going on, load up something from this year. I wish I could name one, but there were so many awesome releases this year, for me to choose one wouldn't be fair at all, unless, of course, I had real hardware. Emulated is ok, but it just gets you by. Sort of shows what it can do and how it sounds, but it DOES lack.
You can't go wrong with ANY of the "top demos" in the sidebar (not latest releases, but TOP DEMOS). |

start with older stuff, the roots.. even the old compunet demos e.g. by ian+mic / ash+dave / stoat and tim etc etc... then progress a bit.... I remember things like the HIC megademo and stuff like that..
some demos I'd discount.. e.g. dutch breeze, as there is 1 part they might find offence.
and just progress thru the years.. depends how much time you have. I would say explain that using pc cross dev has changed things, I think that would be fair to say.
stuff with amazing technical stuff, that people who don't code may not get.. that isn't so obvious I'd avoid unless it's visual..
things like the gameboy part from the paradize demo.. and eddie in the censor demos etc etc. for 2 examples that people would relate to. |

something by Hollowman? if you can't convince them with pure looks, resort to emotion and message. |
