• Before, I thought that this intro was good enough but now, and for a random reason, I am putting over my nose these ugly anaglyphic glasses that I have and see it the way it really is. Enter is right. This intro looks terrible.
  
  Enter: Please, stick to the ugliness of this intro and don't comment about StingRay's wickedness cause we already know about his evilness and he may think about returning to his evil ways.
  
  StingRay: Please, put on your red/cyan cardboard glasses at once and see by yourself!

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Things We Know About Dogs by void
• I like the doodles and the jazzy music. Here is an idea for a sequel: Tell the story from the point of view of the dogs. What do they know about humans? :]

• 256b Atari VCS Pandemia by Satori [web]
• This proves to me that an alien message was received by the Arecibo observatory in the late 1970s.
  
  Humans should watch it wearing ear protection!

• demo Amiga AGA Top Gear by Nah-Kolor [web]
• Nice one! Music is cool. Greetings part is quite nice but I can't stand those annoying little black dots (it looks like a bug in the fade).
  Thumb up for the good mood!

• demo Amiga AGA Syntetikk Life by Nah-Kolor [web]
• Sorry but, although I am glad to see Drareg back in business, I don't think this is a good demo. In fact it's even a bad one. I see people here complaining about the lack of coherency and they mistakely atribute it to the long list of designers that are involved in the demo. Sadly, is not for the apparently capricious design choices that I declare this demo is so bad. I have my proverbial three reasons (beware, none of them are technical reasons even if the first one could superficially resemble it) to say this and here they go.
  
  First, the tremendous pile of necrocode stinks so hard that I can barely understand how such a hybrid pastiche of aged routines has managed to reach third place at Revision party. It is a bit comical to me read that the demo was developed in a 030 and so it runs quite well in one. How convenient is that as all this old code came from the late nineties!
  
  Second, even if the code were 150% recycled (and age-old) I would forgive that minor sin if the rest of the material were fresh. But, as even admits (after a lame excuse) the text message displayed right after the demo ends, there are tons of assets that have being reused. The problem comes even worse when more than three or four of the people included in that ridiculously long credit list came aware that they colaborated in this prod the moment they saw the live videostream or even later... when someone congrats them for the great work done... Done ten or twenty years before, dammit!
  
  And third, I'm not sure if all the people who appears in that long credit list were properly asked about their permission to use all the material that was reused in this demo. I would like to be mistaken but I have the stark feeling that I am right. I would feel very embarrassed if I were a member of Nah-Kolor and the coder of this demo did not ask me if I could supply new material for the old effects. I mean fonts, textures, 3D objects, etc. Nah-Kolor is a group with considerable number of talented people including some great graphicians that surely would help to make this demo look original if they were asked by the coder. Why don't get recent 3D objects instead of reuse that bunch of masks from Fetish or cubes from Proklive or hearts from Fetish 2? How much time will expend a talented graphician modeling new props for this demo? You really need to reuse that heart with the spiky thingies that appears at the end credits of Fetish 2 and put it around that Nah-Kolor logo instead of asking someone for a new 3D object? By the way, that object was modeled by Sandman if I am not mistaken and I don't see him in the long credit list of this demo. Please, notice that Sandman is not a member of Nah-Kolor. Also, Proklive and the two Fetish prods are not Nah-Kolor prods. Again, I need to clarify that I am not reproaching nor dissaproving the reuse of old material per se (a sin that everybody can commit sometimes in the rush of an impeding deadline) but I dislike the use of material from other demos from different groups and from people that are not credited or credited without knowing they were being "ripped". No rush can justify that foolish and lame thing.
  
  Apologies if I am being too rash. I really don't like to be too hard with people. I know that there are some graphics and music in this demo that have been made recently and I mean no disrespect to any Nah-Kolor member including Drareg. But I probably am just a nosy nitpicker jerk so I can't turn my eyes away when I see material shamelessly ripped from other prods while everybody in the room remain silent or clapping. Sorry again but I can't approve this demo. Hopefully next one will be better.
