Unique and atmospheric. I laughed out loud during the "orbiting around earth"-scene - it's very rare that a demo has this kind of effect on me! :)

You (again!) managed to weave together a captivating story and C64 demo effects into a coherent flow. Wonderful work.

Also, "The sprites are out tonight" is my new favorite demo quote!

There is more sideborder stuff than I had noticed on the big screen - very nice! The layers in the greetings, clever stuff! Also on Side B nice layered effect with the cityscape. And wonderful storytelling! Thanks for this and congrats on winning!

man that sprite multiplexer with rastersplits (and some other parts) were sweet :D and it's funny how it's actually possible to meaningfully say that this is better than an AVERAGE 2025 fairlight demo :D

edit: yeah it's not a multiplexer but it's cool anyway

Loved it, great design, nice effects and good flow with banging tunes. Well deserved #1. SNL reference gets bonus points.

Fuckings to the downvoters.

Well deserved 1st place. Heartfelt and enjoyable trip with a lot of cute tech stuff. Love it.

@megasoftargentina: Definitely, demos will never work on both video systems, apart from very simple stuff. Style made an effort to NTSC-fix some PAL demos and other timing-critical releases like interlaced GFX, but otherwise you will have to fall back on an emulator, or get yourself a PAL machine.

Great demo, really fun to watch on the bigscreen!

Nice demo, liked the greets parallax the most.

@WVl, yes Graham was first with the 9 sprite X expanded scroller on lower border. Quickly checking in vice/full border, Graham's scroller is a char wider than the one in this demo (has no blank gap on the left side concerning the normally visible area).

Excellent intro, as always FLT, nothing to say, but I have a problem, I have a c128 NTSC, and it doesn't work, could it be?

So good to see Björn, Nils and Freya again! The bobs are very very nice! Too bad Graham beat you to it. In my memories Graham did 10 sprites on a line, instead of 9, but I could be wrong.

Excellent fast-paced romp! Amusingly, at least one person in the Revision audience thought it was me in the car.
