The peeps at Conspiracy have done a bit of datamining using the Demozoo API and have charted out all the demoparties in the database onto a map. Required viewing! Know of any event missing? Now is an even better time to add them to Demozoo ;)
Flashback, the demoparty down under, was evidently a big success this year with a lot of high quality releases being entered into the various competitions that took place in Sydney from 8th to 10th June. All files have finally made their way to scene.org and impatiently await to be leeched.
Moonshine Dragons was a C64-only event that took place in Poland last weekend. We now have all the releases listed and ready for you to enjoy.
Moonshine Dragons 2019 on Demozoo
Once again, the amazing Asle comes through for us and has unearthed the files from the Polish party Exposive 2004! Previously only represented by partial results and a few graphics entries, this party is now almost complete, with just a few supersmall bits missing. We find it very rewarding to present to you:
On that note; if you have files just sitting around on your harddrive, and there is no download link or a 'lost' tag is present, then please - do upload to scene.org or talk to us, and we'll make the process as effort-free as possible for you. History matters, let's all band together to try and find as much of the history of the demoscene as possible.
Asle runs Amiga Music Preservation, which you should all visit. Every day. :)
We love a good write-up of interesting productions, from any standpoint, and when someone who has taken part in a groundbreaking release writes a little about how it all came about - then, hey, where do we sign up!?
Read it all here - After you've watched Eon just one more time.
Easter weekend is not all about Revision after all, as the annual edition of The Gathering was taking place around the same time 1,300 kilometres north, in Hamar, Norway. Nowadays the event is more geared towards a younger crowd (which is a very laudable choice) but the 2D graphics competitions in particular always contain high-quality releases.
Like a jumbo jet, it was big, it was loud, and it released tons of stuff in the atmosphere: Revision 2019 closed its door on Monday and it cemented its reputation at the biggest demoscene event of the moment. The Amiga demo competition was arguably one of the best of the decade (if not longer) but there were some amazing releases in all categories. We did our best to share as much information as possible on the prods as they were presented, but we now have the full picture ready for you: the full catalogue of prods with placements, download links and often credits and screenshots (we need more of those, plz help!).
