PC DOS Demoscene mix

[@LuminalSpoon]

Not going to deny it. I came straight here from Ahoy's video on 16 Bit Trackers.

[@kenobisboch]

We LOVE Ahoy and we're happy to have you here buddy!

[@Valrin7236]

I remember the first time I saw Second Reality back in '93. It blew my freaking mind and I watched it over and over again. This is such a trip down memory lane!!

[@tetramaximum]

Valrin7236 oh yes

[@m3tm4n]

Oh yea. Same here. Cant believe I found it here again.

[@ritawinn5417]

My brother Dave (“DJ”) was White Shadow. He did “DoWhackaDo”. He was brilliant

[@Optimus6128]

Those were my favorite times, most nostalgic of these clean flat polygons, reflected on smooth raster color floor, soothing music, it's like a dream. The first demo Amnesia, I still have hard times to make it run on my oldschool PCs sometimes. I need to make a full watch again at some point. All of them classics.

[@1gnore_me.]

man I can't imagine how mindblowing this must have been back in the day. early demoscene musicians / programmers were literal wizards.

[@wertyoomusic]

I can confirm, it was probably the most mind blowing experience I have ever had. This was back when you had to type commands to tell you computer to open a file or play a game (which were usually text based or simple point and click games like Loom and Monkey Island) Every night for a couple months I would turn off all the lights in my room, crank the Sound Blasters (popular soundcard/speaker set in the early 90s) and watch Second Reality - Future Crew from start to finish, multiple times in a row. Even more mind blowing is how impressive it is to this day. If you look closely you will notice they even emulated raytracing @43:05 ...which we just got recently got in games. And here I am at 39 watching it again and still enjoying it. Unreal

[@FrankBugZappa]

it's like a fashion runway for computers

[@AiOinc1]

27:45 Crystal Dream 2 is an underrated classic these days

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

Sadly today's kids will never know the joys of hand-optimizing their own assembly code, prying the secrets of undocumented graphics instructions out of their VGA cards, and writing their own Soundblaster drivers just to rotate a cube over a checkerboard while Axel F plays in the background.

[@DashsChannel]

I remember when I was 16 I made a circle you could move around the screen with the arrow keys while a bad MOD file of some Mega Man music played in the background. Must've been around 2004-2005, when I first started playing around with Blitz BASIC and my dad's Visual C++ CD-ROM

[@amiapony]

one of the most underrated comments on the whole internet

[@Sh-hg8kf]

I might be among the younger viwers of such videos. Stuff like this just mesmerizes me (and if there is anything I want to do, it is to put out optimized code). Now for actually being decently talented enough at coding such that I can pull off such stuff....that is unachievable for me 😅

[@digitalspecter]

mov ax, 13h int 10h and off we went sniffing fonts from the VGA card and doing palette-rotation tricks.. to writing 3d engine in asm.. I learnt so much about how computers operate and had so much fun too. And the music from that era is still amazing.

[@Jason75913]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bitset3741]

Such a good time in computing. A single coder could know the entire machine inside and out in assembly to code some amazing stuff by hand. Now is good too though, but more generalized. You don't hit the metal, you code to API' s. You can do this all now still though of course. I have a couple old-school PC, or through DOSBox, or PC emulators. One that is pretty cool is Faux86 on Raspberry Pi. That is a baremetal emulator - boots straight to it, with no underlying OS.

[@wigwagstudios2474]

Imagine going back in time and showing people who worked on Scanimate this stuff... They'd implode and then EXPLODE!

[@fat_malama]

9:00 is pretty nice

[@ВадимЛукомский-ъ1ь]

When i watching these animations i feel a strange nostalgia, feeling a little happy or something. It's so mesmerising. Maybe it's because I've seen savescreens of windows 98 when i was a child

[@SkabPix]

Actually one of the best mixes out here. Daje Fabio, daccene ancora.

[@fcycles]

World Vector - Unreal / Future Crew! When I saw that, I felt these are the kind of computer graphics that was generated on a Cray-YMP super computer back in the 80s! Ok, maybe render instead of ray-trace... but this is Real-Time stuff! The soundtrack that goes with it is also amazing!

[@mgrinz.ireneuszukaszdzitko1348]

Amazing effect's and music in slowly screen create some vector-demo environement on positive also computer promotion multimedia film.Cool view with music fill full image.👏🎞⌨😇😯

[@Anubis6175]

Amnesia demo has some of the best relaxing music. The best thing is OpenMPT can play the original .C67

[@digitaldreamer8637]

All of this running on an Intel 386 processor. Good times. 👌🏼

[@TheViceman]

really nice tunes in these demos

[@POEoeta]

FANTASTICO!

[@doinkle_idk]

Like someone said:"this videos are more interesting then actually the hacked games"

[@funcibus]

All'epoca il mio demo preferito era holistic di cascada. Visualizzava tecniche di grafica che per i computer dell'epoca erano spettacolari e ottimizzate bene, per esempio il phong shading. Mi piacevano queste cose. Ho ancora una cartella piena di programmini fatti in turbo pascal e assembler con cui cercavo di fare queste cose, sprite, poligoni, cubi 3d che ruotavano, la modalità 320x200 con 4 piani che ti permetteva di avere buffer con cui facevi dei parallassi spettacolari 🙂 bei tempi

[@franksaibert9731]

Memories... These videos are in fact programs, right? I made similar "programmed self running effect videos" like this using ASM. I teached programming by myself and tinkered music tracks togheter out of a bunch of small audio samples xD. Spending a lot of times to get 3d rendering and realtime effects working. Itwas so fun xD. I miss the era of MS DOS. :-(... But... how did you record that to an actual video???

[@kenobisboch]

I captured everything using DOSbox, an amazing emulator. If you miss MS DOS, check it out.

[@franksaibert9731]

Kenobisboch Productions I already tried it.The audio was out of sync.

[@kenobisboch]

Frank Saibert weird issue. Sorry, can't think of what could cause it.

[@guilherm502]

@@franksaibert9731 Try PCem, it's much more accurate in emulation, and you can customize your emulated PC which specific processor, video card, sound card, etc.

[@digitalspecter]

Yup, those were the times. Had fun writing a 3d engine in x86 asm, procedural models generation for it and getting it under 4 kilobytes. These days I just glue libraries together.. feels about as challenging and rewarding as assembling Ikea furniture. Guess I'm just an old bitter geezer but man this coding thing used to be fun.

[@Zeluth]

6502 inside. Let's be honest.

[@Anonyhouse]

This music is so dope

[@franciscofuentes8916]

See ya in Assembly '94

[@johbsmith5631]

Love It!

[@tubeMonger]

Always liked Triton demos.

[@therealarien]

Ahh nostalgia bait. Some kickass music!

[@anana89]

[@jarblewarble]

3:48 looks like Perlin noise behind the scrolling text.

[@Biter]

Good mix!

[@ZNZbane]

this shit is my cocomelon

[@SimoneAvanzi]

La vera domanda è PERCHÉ stavamo ore a guardare questa roba 😂

[@peppefrasca5179]

Mancanza di porno in 4K

[@veterfpv4974]

Класс!

[@Minecraftminer3000]

I never knew I'd hear the Unreal ][ .MOD again! Cool! 38:00

[@Vloodzy]

What is the first demo? You listed Crystal Dream as the first demo in the description, but it's the 2nd one.

[@julienbraudel7109]

Amnesia by Renaissance. It had two specificities : that was maybe the only demogroup from the US, and the only group to use FM Synthesis mixed with samples in their musics. The last reason is why this demo has a special atmosphere (and the quality of the musics of course).

[@Bergwacht]

How i can enjoy this on my 486 ? from floppy disk ? :D

[@blackpowder4016]

You're missing the first half of Amnesia.

[@snorman1911]

Except for Second Reality which is one of the best demos ever made, a good C64 demo is more interesting to watch than most of these!

[@julienbraudel7109]

Not really. Amnesia and Crystam Dream are awesome, with their own specific ambiance. Unreal was phenomenon when it went out. It is just that you seem to be a C64 user. I like demos from the C64 but i was not a regular C64 user, so i would not say phrases like you do about C64 demos because i do not know the demos so well, as you seem to do not know PC ones. Each machine has his own kind of demos.

[@MrPlaySGABANG]

Woooow

[@glianimalisonobestie9121]

WOW

[@Daud76]

Anyone remember Jungly Kitchen? ✌🏼

[@alanmacmillan6957]

very amiga-esque but I guess the coders had nearly 10 times the cpu to play with......

[@holyspud8589]

[@aublak7492]

What are the specs of the machine running?

screams 80s
