- demo Gameboy Color It Came from Planet Zilog by Phantasy
- This was my favorite (non-Hornet) demo in the compo. Tons of polish and 1-frame effects. Really excellent work!

- demo MS-Dos 8088 MPH by Hornet [web] & CRTC & Desire [web]
- Guys, thanks for all the kind words -- it really means a lot to reenigne, VileR, Scali, and myself. We worked on the code for 6 months together, but separately it was roughly 100 man-years of appreciation and deep research into the capabilities of the machine and the video card over the past three decades. You grow up with this stuff and it leaves a deep impression on you.
It was also a deep honor to compete against such very strong entries in the compo, which you can see in the results -- it was practically a 4-way tie! If you haven't checked out the other three, please do so, they're great (although I don't know why Oxyron complained about only one disk... ever heard of compression?)
Technical blogs are forthcoming, but until then, here's some quick answers:
yzi: If you have real 4.77MHz 8088 and RGB, the demo will run but without correct colors, so you can still enjoy it somewhat. The kefrens bars, moire/interference, and end credits parts look nearly identical to composite out.
jmph: No dithering, no pageflipping, real 1024 colors from the display over composite output. VileR's core discovery, refined by reenigne to have double the colors.
introspec: Have already done mega research on ZX Spectrum beeper but you can't use 1-bit multi-chan engines as background music; they take up too much CPU time. Besides, reenigne came up with something much better than ZX Spectrum 1-bit engines, which you can hear in the end credits: It is a 16KHz 4-channel protracker chiptune player. It takes up 99.99% of CPU which is why the end credits are fairly simple.
Baudserver: We plan to update our blogs in the next few days :) I'll link to mine here when it's done.
F-Cycles: No flicker; 1024c mode is stable.
drzeissler: Sorry, make your own :-) 286+EGA is too "powerful" for us.
There may or may not be a final version. There are visual bugs in the party version which you can spot viewing the video multiple times (they're all my fault, actually :-), but we're fairly tired and burnt out, as is to be expected. - isokadded on the 2015-04-07 01:33:25
- demo Amiga AGA Human Traffic by Ghostown & Loonies [web]
- Just watched this a second time and it's just as good. I love demos that perfectly meld graphics, code, music, and design to convey a feeling, and Human Traffic just excels.

- 4k bbstro MS-Dos A.C.E. BBS (6a) by NoooN
- Definitely done by Karl/Nooon (stepped through the code in an emulator and his name comes up after the decryption phase).

- 512b game MS-Dos BootChess by Red Sector Inc. [web]
- Fantastic achievement. Wish it would run on 8086 (uses pusha/popa), but that is a minor quibble. Major thumbs up.

- demotool MS-Dos Monotone by Hornet [web]
- FYI, I moved MONOTONE to github as I'm adding a few features. Tufty, I added your tunes to the distribution ;) Couldn't add 4mat's since the link is broken.
