MindCandy Volume 1: PC Demos
MindCandy Volume 1: PC Demos is a Video-DVD compilation of 42 of the greatest PC Demos of the past 15 years, scene by scene optimized and stitched for best possible performance in framerate and audio/video quality. As described at MindCandy...? many of those demos either wouldn't run on a current PC or they show damaged graphic effects or wrong timing.
While watching the demos you can switch to a special audio commentary track for 1st hand background stories, spoken by the demo creators or the MindCandy crew. Furthermore the DVD includes a 16-minute featurette on the history and making of demos with exclusive interviews, a 12-page color booklet, stylish menu music by demoscene musicians and more.
Btw: MindCandy 3 out now!
