- Wow.
I am the code of the Mayhem Paracetamol demo from all those years ago, and I've been trying to track it down ever since. My searches in the past didn't lead anywhere but today I stumbled across this -- fantastic! This really brings back some memories.
I must have written this in about 1990, and I got the idea from the graphics used in the UK Channel 4 TV show, "The Word". I realised the effect might translate well to the Amiga and spent a sleepless night wondering how it would look. This was indeed the first time the effect had ever been created on the Amiga (to my knowledge, anyway).
I created the circles graphics in DPaint (I've no idea why I didn't create them in code!) and even while I was dragging the 1-bit graphics around on top of each other, I could see this was going to be something special. I was extremely pleased with the end result, and terrified that someone else would release a demo with the same effect before I could finish it!
24 hours later (and after countless games of Lemmings from the demo version) it was released.
And now nearly 20 years later, I've finally seen it again. One day I should try to get an archive of all these on my web site (at www.adamdawes.com).
Many thanks to hitchhikr for uploading this!

- demo Windows Concrete by Black Maiden [web]
- When I tried to run it, all I got was a dialog window entitled "Oh no!" with the text "FUCK!!!" written in it. Have I missed something?

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS megalo demos by Wild Copper
- Nearly twenty years after its release, I just found myself singing the "Wild Copper" music. An inspired classic, still fondly remembered today.

- I love this. Very relaxing. I'd like the final scene (with the sun on the sea) as a screensaver please!

- invitation Windows bcn01 invtro final by Fuzzion [web]
- I think this is really very nice! Simple and relaxing, and I think the effect where the 'bcn party' text comes together is great.
