• cdc #1: Frameskool - Breakpoint 2007 64k invit by Equinox [web]

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Sometimes I wish I was famous by Circle
• Some of you have probably played a game called 'Warioware' on a DS or similar, that's what this demo reminds me of - effects shown rapidly, making their point and then onto the next. A really nice tune keeps things moving and all of the effects are cool and well done - we've even got another world record claim! Yeah, nice!

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Corruption by Sagazity
• I'll get a couple of negatives out of the way first, tune is great but a little short, secondly, the pacing is a bit off imo. Aside from those issues, everything in this demo is great, I just wish that there was something to break up the scroll/end section. There's a good amount of cohesion here though, my favourite part is the yellow melty thing that appears about a minute and a half through but all the scenes are cool, a thumb from me, check it out! :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Orthodox Meditation by Interactive & Dark Reign
• From the screenshot I was expecting to see some wavy animations but in fact this is a mere static screen forming an introduction. The demo itself is in fairly typical logo,frame,scroller format but the central part features some quite nice vectors, a roman helmet thing and a bastardised triforce (probably not that!). Tune isn't bad, really quite moody but sounds nice and heavy and it features rainbow bars which are always a winner. Like it :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS CrimeAgainstHumanity! by Paradise [web]
• Just a couple of effects but they're done nicely. Music is nice and chilled and fits with the fairly slow pace of the demo. The first effect is probably the better one of the two, found the second had a fair amount of (albeit understandable) moire/aliasing but all good!

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Eat This by Panic
• I suppose the logical progression from 'we've done unlimited bobs, now what?' had to be 'lets see how many sine scrolls we can do' which leads to what I can only assume is a tongue in cheek section featuring 80 1px sine scrollers at once. It's completely unreadable from the very start but rapidly fills so much of the screen that the scrollers end up resembling a sheet of crumpled paper. Gave me a chuckle anyway. Tune on this one is really good, I like the way the instrumentation builds up as it goes along. Demo overall is really nicely done, a consistent colour scheme throughout gives this a nice and clean feel. Best scene for me (aside from the scrolls) were the multiple pixel cube thing but everything is done nicely :)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Total Record by Darkness
• tons of bobs, no idea if the claim of 'world record' was legitimate at this time or if this is technically good or not but I enjoyed it and the tune keeps things moving along nicely

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Hipparchus and Ptolemy by Futura
• The standout bit for me was probably the sine warping Futura logo but we're treated to a fair few nice vectors too. The name of this demo is perhaps a little pretentious but it's nicely put together and there's a good cohesion across all of the effects. Wasn't so keen on the tune, it was alright but seemed to lack a bit of direction at times.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS RobotiCool by Darkness
• Really enjoyed all of the effects and the introductions, I enjoyed not having to click to move on, I enjoyed the fact that everything transitions nicely, I enjoyed the fact that the effects didn't hang around too long and I enjoyed the tune. Honestly, this one is just great!

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Readers Digests Demo by The Special Brothers
• Like this a lot! First of all, the logo work is brilliant throughout, think there's 3 or 4 and they're all really nice. We're in 1992 now so design seems to matter a bit more over just raw effects. The tune in this is also excellent, really liked it and was more than happy to have it playing for the duration. Favourite part of this is probably the first section with the blurry vector line thing but the credits/greets section with the dotted logo was really nice too. I like the fact that they included the technical information - for luddites like me it's educational (How else could I have talked about 'blurry vector line thing'!?).
