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.

Byterapers - Hyperventilation [download win32] (1998)
Port done in 2001. Abba samples in the music, 70's styled graphics + geeky 3d stuff and effects.
Halcyon - Hplus [download DOS] [video] (1998)
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.
