the demoscene is responsible that the amiga died in style

na its just some skilled guys mostly from skandinavia who think that true skill in programming lies in programming efficient. therefore they orgasm to demos that show off great graphiks and sound and weight only a few bytes. they achieve this in making things procedural. eg the kkrieger game unpacks itself to over 300mb.

the most famous demoguy today is will wright ...the sims founder who is working on spore right now. spore will be a true demoscene game since most things will be procedural.

do a search for chiptunes if you guys like the 8bit music asociated with the old days of c64 demoscene. there is still alot going on.
