Duangle 2015 Intro - Amiga cracktro parody on a Pico-8!

There's something to be said about cracktro's and scene demo's, there's nothing more enjoyable than seeing waves of text, moving objects and upbeat tunes from a bunch of users showing off their creative talent on an old retro system. One such cracktro for mention wasn't developed on the Amiga however, but is actually a parody of one and was created on the Pico-8, as paniq has said for the " Duangle 2015 Intro " : This is kind of a parody of old amiga cracktros from a parallel universe, where duangle is a demoscene group, and so are all the people in the greetings!

So head on over to the Pico-8 site and check it out, it's rather cool ( Link )

30 Years Amstrad Megademo - CPC Scene Demo effort for the Amstrad CPC

It is a shame we missed out on the announced launch, especially as I have an Amstrad CPC and have always followed the Amstrad scene. But during the ReSeT 2016, a collaborative effort of sceners celebrated the Amstrad in style with the 30 Years Amstrad Megademo. This was in celebration of over 30 years of the Amstrad CPC 464 & 6128, which in terms of scene demos is rather rare as the C64 and ZX Spectrum is always ahead of the pack.

Revision 2016 - PC Scene Demo Category aims to impress

As I have already mentioned the Revision 2016 demo party, I wont go into too much detail other than it still being live with people around the world showing off their creative talent. But while we wait for all the footage to start appearing for the Amiga intros and scene demos, I thought i'd give a shout out to two brilliant PC demos from the 64k compo and the 2D Demo compo, which sufficed to say impressed me enough to write this article. Welcome to fermi paradox - mercury & Lightcity - LNX!
