MEGA demo

What exactly warrants the title MEGA Demo? No category for it so I'm just curious as it was a common expression for any demo spannig across one disk side.

In the beginning, demos were usually one file, with one or more parts. So when people started combining several files with a loader inbetween it was dubbed a megademo, since it was unusually large for the time.

I believe the term originated from the Amiga? where a disk worth of demo (with some compression) was around 1mb in total hence the word megademo?

no, C64 scene used that term before the first amiga megademos were made. (and certainly it has no relation whatsoever to "megabyte")

Indeed c64 demos went mega way before RSI used the term as a name.
