MindCandy Volume 2: Amiga Demos
MindCandy Volume
2: Amiga Demos is a Video-DVD compilation of 30 of the best
Amiga
demos created in 15 years of
demoscene evolution. The Amiga computer was launched in 1985 as an advanced
personal and gaming computer. Many hobbyist computer programmers, graphic
artists, and musicians took hold of this platform and created spectacular
programs to show off their talent and the Amiga's capabilities. They created
amazing works of art unseen and unknown to the world outside the small Amiga
computer and demo scene. The computers existence only survived a decade, but
these demonstrations will live on forever. All demos were captured using several models of Amiga hardware and then scene by scene optimized and stitched for best possible performance in framerate and audio/video quality. While watching the demos you can choose from three different audio tracks incl. remastered 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound and a commentary track for 1st hand background stories, spoken by the demo creators or the MindCandy crew. Furthermore the DVD includes english, french, and german subtitles, a 19-minute featurette about a german demoparty incl. exclusive interviews, a 12-page color booklet, stylish menu music by demoscene musicians and more.
