• 512b Amiga OCS/ECS 512 byte brigade by AttentionWhore
• You have some gfx and notedata running, I can appreciate that. :) But it's kinda meh and unrelated for me.
  
  To avoid sprite bugs, set/clr DMA only during blanking.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo by Toxic Trooper
• Yes, this was an obscure one for sure. :) Most of the stuff has been seen in 1990 or even before, but some nice graphical stuff and cosiness as always from the French! I liked a couple songs and the fractal part. Does it rule? Well. No.
  
  If you had problems with disk 2 hopefully this will soon be fixed and Janeway/Bitworld has also been notified.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Hot Dots by Coma
• Plots-and-plasma (c) 1991. ;) (Supports clicking for next part, phew!) Well no, actually it's quite polished and the plasma reminded me of Safari-bars, so thumb for making that less interesting than it could be and for the silly Tinysine :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Unknown Territory by Axis
• Heh. Their reaction to too much filled vectors is my reaction to too many also-rans coming during 1991. ;) This isn't quite an also-ran, the halfres perspective scroller and zoom scroller should be appreciated if they run at 50 fps, and the writer is nice.
  
  The demo is made for expanded Amiga with harddisk. I couldn't judge the framerate on OCS, because it doesn't run on any of my OCS/ECS Amigas nor WinUAE. On AGA it starts, then hangs. Could be the music player in the BBS ad screen, but expecting 500K fast free in AmigaDos for OCS 1MB shows inexperience, so it would not be expected to run on it.
  
  If the big datafile is the reason (I don't think it is), they could have saved a few hundred K in the release size since they left huge samples in it twice over (Gods title drum rythm etc). Maybe this points to a hidden part, since the music I hear is 1991-ish and unexciting. But rushed and no final version and not intended for OCS 1MB is more likely. And then ofc much more is possible than shown here.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo 1 by Northstar
• Obvious classic! Northstar lit up my eyes as a teen democoder :)
  
  Actually this got spread to me after their Megademo II, because my swapper had his contacts in England and Europe, so I experienced BS1, TEK, tons of German stuff before a few months later stuff got spread by Swedish groups like S.O.S., Triangle, etc.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo 1 by Megaforce
• Not thumbed up? Sacrilege! :) Top classic.

• demo Amiga AGA Paranoid by Rebels
• This demo makes me want to buy a 1230/IV for my other A1200 just for the appropriate(?) experience. <3
  
  The skull bump is eyecandy even today. But I appreciated more, like the demonstration of nonfixed geometries and (of course RGB) lightsourcing :) Brilliant.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Megademo by Magnificent Force & Joy & The Jungle Command
• Hehe. 1989 was indeed the Year of the Megademo ;) Liked the Dino scroller and the vectors. But overall, better things had been released before and I would probably not have kept the disk. So honesty rule says piggy for this one.

• demo Atari ST The Union Demo by The Union
• Carebears rulez and a great megademo with a musicdisk at the end even more :) (First reference that comes to mind is Megaforce Megademo, maybe others?)
  
  This is probably one of the demos a mate showed me on his ST (after I actually returned my ST to the store to buy an A500). A lot of the ones he ran had this character to walk around to start the parts, I remember and an impressive starfield in one parts (another prod). And we played Super Sprint. Good times.
  
  And obviously Atari realized later that you need custom chips to make a good computer and put some sort of copycat chips in the STE, mwhahahh ;)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS TechTech by Sodan & Magician 42
• Obvious thumb and a very early classic! This came just before I was introduced to these things called "demos". :) So it never got spread to me. But I did watch it years later by running the parts separately I remember.
  
  Trivia: this was one of my choices for my demoshow on Datastorm ;) 2013, where I hoped to avoid gurus for these (largely pre-A500) demos by loading an A1000 Kick 1.2 ROM into ACA500.
