Panic too! With the same cool trackmo logic, but older technology, but still really cool!

It's just the perfect synchronizing/effects that are out before you can take a breath/trackmo amiga style logic!!!

You know something? Second Reality and Panic are the best with the trackmo logic. When I lack from demos like these on PC, I run Feelow and see some Amiga500 demos! (Damn,. I have to buy a real Amiga :P)

how's come the first thumb up is a year after submisssion %)

this demo is unbelieveable!

hmmh, I always liked Panic better than Second Reality...
added on the 2001-09-25 12:36:54 by britelite britelite
I disagree. Second Reality was overall a better production than Panic. I saw Panic after SR and it was evident that Panic missed a couple of things. Apart from that, Panic is a very good prod. Hard techno music, lots of fractal effects and a dark mood to go. A worthy and respectable prod from FC.

Just to vote!
rulez added on the 2001-10-22 14:35:58 by Optimus Optimus
Worth a vote. Had amazing effects (some of them, anyway), music, and design for 1992, on any system.
rulez added on the 2001-11-28 04:52:15 by phoenix phoenix
A good production by the FC.

For some reason I remember liking the opening zooming text sync'd with sound FX back best in '92, as well as the closing "TV" style screen power off :)
Some nice pixel graphics in this one.

The very beginning of this demo is sick :) Polished to hell.
rulez added on the 2002-01-28 07:19:15 by bigcheese bigcheese
Yeah, vote. I'm not part of the PC demoscene roots, and in fact, they're somewhat worse than the other systems, but this was a sign of hope :)

First demo I ever saw.. and the one that got me intrested in the scene.. You wont believe how I got my hands on it thought.. It came with a pack of CD's with diffrent utils for our first 486 back in '95 =) I still watch it now and the on the very same 486 =)
rulez added on the 2002-02-28 00:07:21 by Phrekie Phrekie
I remember the fractal-voxel and the music the best. This demo was really good, but fell between "Unreal" and "Second Reality" in style.
rulez added on the 2002-02-28 03:13:25 by gloom gloom
Whate the?! I din't vote for this?

For 1992 it was a screamer, really good stuff, despite some really bad pixel art. There was some consternation about pre-calc scenes, but like anybody cared :) I recall FC being really huffy about getting to 2nd place, for reasons they thought unfair.

Too bad it only runs on SB, and requires EMS - the latter was considered quite lame back then.

One of the best! I'd often view it over and over on my 386DX-40. With the advent of Farb-Rausch demos, it is starts to look dated graphically, but some of the concepts and imagery are still fresh.

The music in this is great-- a worthwhile listen even separate from the demo itself.

hmm... I can see the gfx but I can't hear anything ! Running in Win2K w/ VDMSound. I also tried with the DOSBox 0.60 emulator and still, no sound. Anyone has a suggestion ?
added on the 2004-02-23 20:08:20 by BarZoule BarZoule
Sound breaks off after a few seconds in 0.61 as well. I suggest buying the MindCandy DVD or building a 486 out of old parts. :)

I finally got a old SoundBlaster 16, so I can now watch that great demo in the real DOS ! woohoo!!

Thanks MindCandy for finally giving me the opportunity to see this gem =)

Great music, some neat effects, nice synchro, all in '92 style =P

What more could you ask?

Oldschool PC style.

The fractal mountain effect really kicks ass. And it has shadebobs and dot vectors too <3
rulez added on the 2004-09-15 12:13:11 by Preacher Preacher
A classic. Great code, music and synchro. As I recall, this is one of the first early PC demos that wasn't completely boring to non-computer people.

Another classic from Future Crew. The rythm of the music and the synchronization with it was probably what made it so cool.

The first demo I ever saw, totally amazing. FC were great those days - and then they came up with stuff like unreal and second reality which made them the dicks of the universe.

the rest of the demo doesn't quite keep up on the same level with the music, but i still like this classic. though, as with 2nd reality, also in panic some scenes and pixelart are ugly

The voxel fractal looked awesome on the big screen at TP'92. I think that's the first time I saw something on PC that really kicked Amiga's butt.

this is the first demo i ever saw as well. i was so impressed, and so excited by the concept of demos, that it caused me to buy a pc and a soundcard, and eventually join the demoscene.

This was one of the very first I had seen as well. A real groundbreaker for its time. I was amazed watching my 386DX33 run this.

Scrollers suck indeed. Unfortunately the demo does a bit too. The beginning kicks off quite nicely, but at least the whole latter half seems to be lacking all sorts of quality control. Maybe someday I manage to amass more enjoyment from this one too.

In DOSBox 0.74, set machine=vgaonly. In DOSBox SVN-Daum or -X, the default svga_s3 will also work, just remove any value for forcerate so it syncs correctly. For some reason the sound doesn't work in DOSBox-X.
