- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Batman Rises by Batman Group
- If you have run this demo and voted, I suggest to run the demos I've just commented on and vote. This is just the start of the many demos who deserve to be run and voted on more than they have been, and I'm sure that even when I finish, I will have forgotten some that have brought the platform forward.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS tropical sunset by The Silents [web]
- ...and strange as it may sound, is likely to have inspired a Blitter zoomrot of sorts.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS total triple trouble by Rebels
- Before twisters, before slimy cubes and most "car game roads" effects, there was this fresh experiment by Rebels, which draws its power from an entrancing soundtrack coupled with focusing on variants of the effect. There is also a precursor of chunky here, likely inspired by the hand scanners and matrix printers of the day. At least I was, and wrote multipass printer routines to render grayscale onto 'canvas'. :)

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo 2 by Dexion
- The Star Wars scroller in particular is a one-off that displays a stroke of genius, an actual mega mind at work, with full knowledge of the Amiga hardware. It's actually unbeatable - all of the subsequent entries were just scanline effects - they just didn't get it.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Mental Hangover by Scoopex [web]
- As I was not in Scoopex at the time, I should be allowed to thumb this up. There was something of a "before" and "after" with the introduction of the trackmo.
This was equal to a 3-person Megademo, and quite different. Rather than watching a production for a favorite part, you would now watch it continuously scripted or at least linked, enjoying it to the end, hopefully from a fairly high quality throughout.
This was not always the case with Megademos, whose entire point was having everyone expressing what they liked (heavy metal/fantasy-inspired and synth/cyberpunk-inspired parts on Kefrens megademos being a great example!)
Titan/Uncle Tom already did so many excellent compositions that I don't consider this his best work. It's kinda crazy. I think I he just wanted to rock (as in Twisted sisters, or the first Presley tune, bless him), and he did. - rulezadded on the 2022-12-31 03:57:50
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo by Phenomena
- 4042's part in particular was inspiring to me, if you have the 1.2 and no fastmem required to reach it. :)

- musicdisk Amiga OCS/ECS Sounds of Gnome by Mahoney & Kaktus & Northstar
- This musicdisk has great freedom in thought, which Mahoney would go on to express, coming from C64 to Amiga.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo 2 by Northstar & Fairlight [web]
- Showed the strength of Megademos, not least due to the excellent music by Titan.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Easy ruling by The Silents [web] & Northstar
- Inspired so many variants by showing a way to leverage the power of the Copper.

- intro Amiga OCS/ECS Vector Bobs by Bamiga Sector One & Quoram
- Though slow, this told me the Amiga was more capable than the 8-bits that I knew so well.
