The choppers are made by frank/orange. See his more recent chopper works in media error by cncd vs orange vs fairlight.

Well, IMO 1996 was "put phong shading on everything" era, this demo was rather original - minimalistic text logos fit with style of the demo (you know, all these numbers, blueprint-like backgrounds, electronic schematics and neon-like effects). And that awesome offbeat intro with bomb the bass sample (where are the choppers from?). For me it's rather memorable one.

visually the most unoriginal orange demo from their later days. looks just like every other demo from that period. the graphics at the end dont fit the rest of the visuals at all and the text logos are works of a lazy person. nothing really sticks in my mind, except the scene with clapping old people and dali.

I remember this so well. Hoplite was coding and finishing this demo at The Party on my old ass computer. He got really sick in the bus that all of us Finns drove over to Denmark and was having a really tough time finishing the demo, but it was amazing to see the demo in the competition, people went apeshit when they saw it.

Excavation in my cellar shows possibility of finding some other vintage hardware - I'll try to run Optic Nerve on it if possible.
(Odd thing with the harddrives)

You mentioned Optic Nerve from Silents, we did get it to work, but ony by adding a second harddrive to the computer. Now I know it sounds stupid but that is what we had to do. It was still slow on our hardware, but still a very cool demo.

Yup, google for "Brothomstates".

cud you make it tag: demoscene, megablast, brothomstates instead of demoscenemegablast? :)

That's why I've uploaded X14. Though I guess it runs well on Dosbox if you have some crazy hardware.
Yup, "Secret life of mister Black" is good stuff, too. |
