- demo Amiga AGA My Kingdom by Haujobb & Scoopex [web]
- Will I self-vote? No, cos I wasn't involved. And so I can say that the effects (not visuals) are bit safe here.
Being not involved, I could ride on the many things Scoopex (with the eminent Haujobb here) did well in my absence.
But instead, I will thumb up the drum work, which puts "The Prodigy" to shame, and was clearly audited on studio equipment. Turn it up! - rulezadded on the 2026-07-31 01:26:16
- musicdisk Amiga OCS/ECS Turmoil by Sanity
- Some sweet tunes from the one I adored that I missed BITD, can't go wrong with this one. :) ♫

- demo Atari STe He'e nalu Uhane by Dead Hackers Society [web]
- Prompt pics :P I liked the surfer girl tho. A showcase of converter + displaymode plus some nice parts from skilled coders! Didn't like the dot record and a few others. Assuming chunky stuff is by Evil? Audio is energetic techno, but sounds thumpy, lacks bass.

- invitation Windows ArtWay 2010 Invitation by Artway [web]
- I liked the moment at the start when you realize the boring "city buildings" are keys on a keyboard. :) Just one idea, but a nice invitro.

- demo Amiga AGA Burning Chrome by Haujobb
- Nice effects for 030 and not afraid of color in the overall nice and somewhat incoherent design. Stoner music is well made and unusual.

- 64k Amiga OCS/ECS Remember Tribute by Fanatic2k
- We in Scoopex appreciated this tribute. :) (And you beat us to the punch due to compo order, so there!)

- dentro Amiga OCS/ECS reNOVAted by Defekt
- Some work done here, appreciated by me. With a more enthusing tune for the size and some variation this would have placed better (if that was the goal).

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Fuck USA demo by Complex [web] & Scoopex [web]
- Haha :) This demo is not political commentary...
In hockey and tennis, obviously the US hockey team couldn't do shit, well actually they did shit = snorted coke just like McEnroe etc to have a chance to win a match... This is all documented like the US/USSR steroid use.
That said, USA is being assholes to pretty much everyone on the planet since WW2, so it would take a lot of improvement on their part for this theme to not recur... only States can make it happen ♫ - rulezadded on the 2026-06-01 01:33:52
- Amiga AGA Wild by anadune [web] & Nah-Kolor [web]
- Peak native AGA hand-drawn gfx? I think so! I came across this inventorying one of the golden eras of Amiga many years ago. Top stuff :)

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Generation X by Binary
- If each prod using custom formats come with a disk copy, and it's reliable with reliable physical drives, the copy protection aspect is alleviated (although I think few will use that function). Then my complaints are reduced to having to use a custom tool to write the first disk. Why exactly should each viewer crunch or prep your demo for you?
For preservation, custom formats pose a bigger problem. For each format, the work increases for the preservation crew. One could foresee that squeezing bytes is so important that a new format is made for each release. Consider giving the format you use a unique identifier of some kind.
Filling up a disk a few % more instead of just crunching better first and writing a standard format, or using two disks... What Price Perfection? (This is another of my thoughts on the matter.)
Well, here the price is that the release file is not distributed as a bootable image or runnable executable, but distributed alongside a tool to convert the file to such.
I guess the physical disk solves it for competitions, but if users should need other specs to write the disk than those of the demo (such as a harddisk to hold the release file, more RAM, or KS > 1.3), there's an argument that, since the release files are not distributed by the authors on physical floppy, those greater specs are what a user in fact needs to run it.
Is that more fair? It's genius. It's copy protection. It's brazen. It also comes with problems.
I think orgas must ask the right questions of the contestants as described in this comment, and form rules around them. It's good if they are aware. - isokadded on the 2026-04-21 21:19:25
