Demoscene special II: Let's go to my place and morph some IFS fractals

Demoscene special II: Demos & Intros
Second post in the Demoscene series, the first can be found
here (it's about music). This part will focus on demos and intros that are fantabulous.

Ok first of all I had planned on linking video captures to this list. The problem is that there isn't video captures of them all, so I will provide a video link if it exists. Otherwise just download it and run it (if you can). The list is in no order what so ever and is in the format Groupname - Demo/intro name [links] (year). Some of these are very old and may not run on todays' computers. I should also mention that I haven't been following the demoscene for about a year now, so I'm a bit behind on things. All links, screenshots and comments taken from
pouet.net.

Port done in 2001. Abba samples in the music, 70's styled graphics + geeky 3d stuff and effects.


Halcyon - Hplus [

Do not miss this. A classic. Coolest 'story' and again ace music.


Orange - The secret life of Mr. Black [
download DOS] (1997)

"I am a woman, my wife is a man! It's orange, it can't be bad... they got a different approach to demomaking, that's what makes them unique, you either like them or loathe them. I like them I can't help it. And this demo is one of their most representative works. So you better watch it."
Orange = legends. Too bad it's difficult to get to see this nowadays.

Orange - The nonstop ibiza experience [
download win32] (2000)

Another Orange demo, this is their most recent one (and perhaps last!?). Win32 so most people should be able to watch it (I hope). Crazy good soundtrack by bstates.
