• musicdisk MSX V Microcompo AY music-disk by AAMSX [web] & CulturaChip [web]
• I do not know how to load this into MSX, but I remember the compo well. I could play at least 7 of the tracks on ZX Spectrum and some of these tracks are very, very good. In particular, New Tokyo 2033 is an absolute smash.

• demotool TI-8x (Z80) HoustonTracker 2.00 by Irrlicht Project [web]
• I wish people paid at least half this much attention to ZX Spectrum beeper demos, which are basically identical technology-wise.
  
  It is not like this tracker is not deserving the attention it gets - 6MHz CPU enables great sound quality and also keep in mind that this is likely to be the first Z80 beeper engine with the stereo output. Kudos to utz for making a very strong statement about the possibilities of beeper sound.
  
  Shame it requires a calculator to get people listening.

• demo JavaScript luxe by Holon [web]
• Minimalism rules. Great design and exactly the right amount of post-processing to make it look sophisticated.

• wild Commodore 64 LSR 64 - Children songs
• @Fell, check this one out.
  
  Tone of music conflicts with the visuals (in my mind anyway); but there are tons of interesting sync and the idea is nice.

• demo ZX Spectrum Kpacku Deluxe by Kpacku
• This is big topic which may or may not deserve its own BBS thread. As someone who is also working on a demo that will be re-released separately, I do care about the perception of this type of releases. However, in this particular case, it is kind of easy to break down.
  
  1. Re-release takes place at the same party, one year down the line. I was at the party and the orgas explicitly announced that this is a final version of the last year's winner. So no-one was misinformed, really.
  
  There are also people who do not follow the ZX scene and may have voted for this year's demo without seeing last year's demo. But I cannot see how the fact that they have not seen last year's version matters. Does this make demo somehow worse? In what way is this the authors' fault that people do not watch their demos? And those people who saw it last year should be informed as is.
  
  2. The new content. It is pretty easy to check. Old demo - under 2 minutes. New demo - 8 minutes. So let us get real. Half of the so-called "proper" releases on this site won't have as much new content as what you just called a remix.
  
  Overall, this is one of the biggest ZX Spectrum releases of the past decade. It is not perfect and there are platform limitations and there are many other things we can discuss. What I hate about our discussion is that instead of trying to talk about artistic and technical achievements here, we end up arguing about, essentially, nuances of party rules, which clearly have been satisfied from the orgas point of view (the orga of CC is randomi, check his comment just above).
  
  We can do better. We ought to do better. This demo deserves better.

• demo ZX Spectrum kpacku by Kpacku
• @Photon, the best ZX Spectrum emulator that just works out of the box is Spectaculator, but it is shareware. The best free emulators to support both western and eastern models are Fuse or ZXMAK2.
  
  To see the demo properly, you must ensure that emulator is using Pentagon 128K timings. Each of these emulators will have a switch in there somewhere saying "model: pentagon".

• Oh, and your thumb down is very unfair.

• demo ZX Spectrum kpacku by Kpacku
• This demo is for Pentagon 128K, which is a ZX Spectrum 128K clone with slightly different timings and uncontended memory. Pretty much every serious emulator will support it.
  
  Just for the record: there is a long tradition of Pentagon demos. A significant number of important 1990s demos is Pentagon-only. Arguably, Pentagon 128K is a de-facto standard for ZX scene in Russia.
