Old demos, still awesome!
Lately I have been looking at some old demos, and I found this demogroup from Finland called PWP. They state that they create audio-visual megamultimedia. Never before have I found something Finnish to be funny, cool or even mildly entertaining. This is so much more. It is awesome on many different levels!
Warez cd, internet bomb. Haha, I love it!
Great story, even better music!
Another great story, with the same theme as the last one.
Note that these demos where written for very old, limited computers. The two last ones where made for the Commodore VIC-20, which runs on 1MHz and was released in 1981. This is more or less incredible, what these fine coders made hardware this old do! In our day and age, limitations like these are considered severe. Our hardware is so much more advanced in every way, and coders don’t have to exploit the hardware in the same way these guys are doing. For example: my cellphone runs at 200MHz, your iPhone runs at around 400MHz. This is nothing compared to modern PCs, still 1MHz is enough to make me smile.
