So that means that if I try again tomorrow or so, that will work again ?

Yep, and the day after tomorrow, it will stop working again. The only thing you can do is use IPv6, if your provider offers it.

@tr1p1ea, that is so nice! I love demos that focus on story/message. Could you provide some more info, so I can add it to the list?

@DJ_O I'd include Axe for sure, and there's already an Axe demo on the list now. For Grammer I dunno, if it impresses graphically or otherwise, why not. I just opted not to include BASIC because most of what's out there is pretty crappy.
I only did that Texas Beeper Massacre thing, and I'm not including that cause there's no moving gfx or anything. I'm simply too stupid to code that kinda stuff. Btw if you liked TBM you'll be pleased to hear that I have another music collection in the works.

Missed this somehow. You guys are probably tired of me saying this, but I have to say again: This rules, especially the burning cube.

There's rarely any talk about demoscene productions on here, so I thought I'd prepare a list of cool sh*t that has been made during the last ~20 years. My main motivation for doing this is because I hope people will be inspired to make more demos, rather than just games and utils.

In case you don't know what this demoscene thing is all about, read this for a start.

Note that the list contains full demoscene productions for Z80 TIs only. No BASIC, tech demos, or game demos. Also no 68k stuff, that should have its own topic.


Anyway, without further ado, let's roll.

That's it for now, if you know of any demos I forgot please let me know, and I'll add them to the list.

haha nice! you should put it here: http://battleofthebits.org/arena/Battle/1475/Summer+Chip+III/
very few people have submitted midi so far this year, so you'd have a good chance of actually getting a trophy

Wow Xeda, this looks pretty awesome. I haven't looked into LCD updating at all so far, so I'm very happy to see this bit of fairly understandable code

Thanks guys, glad you're digging this. Any yup, I'm IP.

Most of us work on other old 8- and 16-bit platforms as well. Some actually have 20+ years experience in making chiptunes, yet others joined the scene just recently.
Factor6 and TDM are oldschool demosceners, they mostly work with ZX Spectrum 128K (AY soundchip). Factor6 actually uses a lot of different platforms, including C64.
Fluidvolt does mainly SNES and N64-flavored stuff.
Shiru is a rather famous ZX and NES coder (he actually coded one of the sound engines used in the compilation). Also, he recently released an awesome FM flavored synthrock album.
Mind Body Alpha is a piano player, he has only released 1-bit stuff so far.
Mister Beep does ZX beeper exclusively as well.
Warlord originally comes from the MOD metal scene. He worked with many different platforms in recent years, most prominently with Atari 8-bit (POKEY) and VIC-20.
Myself, I started on Atari ST but nowadays I do mainly 1-bit music, too. Hopefully I'll get around to making some SID stuff soon, though, been wanting to for years.

Check the links in the readme file for more great chiptunes

I'm with Matrefeytontias, looks kinda weird for plasma. But I'm too stupid to do any demoscene fx so I shouldn't talk
