• demo Dreamcast Wobble by CRTC
• Well, being a former dreamcast developer I was not very impressed by what I saw on screen, but just for the sake of not wanting to complain without basis I took the time to download the KOS source code. Based on what I checked, you would not have got much more from the official SDK, possibly the 1st party developers had direct access to the sound and device hardware - but that's not a significant advantage for demo making.
  
  So yes the KOS lib gives you access to the processor intrinsics (sincos seems to be the only one missing), there is support using store-queues, there is decent support for the various list of primitives (opaque, transparent and punch-through), and the code seems to do a decent job at handling the DMA and tile accelerator.
  
  So from what I can see, you had about the same stuff as I had to use (Kamui), and well, this demo does not seem to use any of the specificities of the dreamcast like the volume modifiers or the per pixel perfect translucency sorting.
  
  Now that you know how the dreamcast work, that you have a working SDK, makes some thing cool, and you will get my thumb up on the next one :)

• demo Windows Agenda Circling Forth by Fairlight [web] & Carillon & Cyberiad [web]
• Thumb up for the technical achievement, but I really did not like it, found it very boring. (My gf and I both prefer "Wir Sind Einstein" to the three top demos.)

• demo Windows Wir sind Einstein by United Force [web] & Digital Dynamite [web]
• Entertaining!
  A good follow up of the Golden Path, at least just not a boring 3d flyby without originality :)

• 1k Windows Mistrace by TBC
• That one was awesome.

• 4k Windows Darwinism by Archee [web]
• The rendering is quite nice as well, soft shadows etc...
• rulezadded on the 2010-04-04 12:12:45
• 4k Windows TAO ART by T$ [web]
• Hated it on the stream. Boring, and way too long. And not particularly nice looking either.

• demo Atari STe Edge of Panic by ACCS
• Quite good, but they probably have the worse STe replay routine in the world. It's obviously DMA audio because it's in stereo, but the noise, ohhh the noise. (And the first music is really not my taste at all, the 1 bit 2khz samples probably don't help :p)

• invitation Atari ST Outline 2010 Invitation by Checkpoint [web]
• Very nice; music, code and graphics work all together :)

• intro Atari STe The Future Is Digital! by The Screw Crew
• There is sound, just read the 'readme.1st'. You need to have the files on a floppy in a folder called 'digital' at the root of the floppy.
  (Now well, how a very old Mad Max music and sub-par effects qualify as a STe only demo, I really wonder).

• musicdisk Linux Windows Back to the sources by NightRadio [web]
• Reminds me of Jean Michel Jarre (in a good way) in some of the songs (Space Sequences for example)
