Put The Demoscene In Your DVD Player

Jason Scott writes "With the recent story on slashdot about a big demo party, it might be good to let everyone know about the absolutely incredible Mind Candy DVD, where a very dedicated group of people from "the scene" have spent two years painstaking recovering demos from obscurity, finding the old 286 and 386 hardware, installing the needed (obsolete) cards, and capturing them perfectly in full digital glory. They also have information on what exactly the "scene" is, in case you've missed this incredibly creative use of computers from the past 20 years. This whole process cost them thousands of dollars and untold hours. Check it out, see what you missed... or never forgot."

Re:Last Capitalist Post

[TheAntiCrust]

Why does a slashdot story need to pertain to all of YOUR things. If slashdot wanted to run a story about your wife, they would run a story on breast implants. If they wanted to write a story about your car, it wouls be an ask slashdot "I have lots of money, but no taste". Oh, and fsck YOU and YOUR BMW. YOUR xenon headlights blind MY eyes. So just wait untill you blind me and I crash my Ford Taurus into your sorry ass.

IF you believe in such a capatalistic world, you would either A. Buy the product becuase you like it and are willing to give him money, or B. Ignore it and move on

I think you are confusing Capitalism with Yuppy Assholism

Why PC?

[nickos]

Why on earth would you want to watch PC demos? Everyone knows the Amiga was (and sometimes still is) where it's at. Demo coding on a PC is daft due to the undefined nature of the platform - If an effect is too slow you just run it on a better spec'ed machine, and effects can't be written to take advantage of a particular graphics architecture.

Chunky pixeled generic PCs don't come close to the fun you can have coding custom chipped Amigas.

Sigh...

Is this in Kazza yet?

[ColdGrits]

I hope someone uploads it to their favourite P2P network soon, I can't wait to download a copy of this DVD!
