I'd nominate the transparent "1992 zoom" by ANMA (source of power) .. <<
Does the Guru Logic intro screen qualify?

Which one, the old or the new? And not that many people have seen it. |

Like OMG!
It was THE first demo of Compjoetania, coded entirely in Basic and it contained about 8 Fac Soundtracker 1.0 musics... And by the looks of it, we did a damn good job keeping that a secret from the most of you  |

It was incredible I remember the release of it in 1993. We were standing in the same room, Low_Profile. We were releasing PSG Tracker back then. Wasn't Tilburg or Zandvoort, though. Must have been Almelo? Dunno. |

I never was in that demo-scene. I became a well-known guru after those days |

well, you had the chance to become a group-scener ever since I visited fairs (since 1991 orso) I saw some redhead walking around.. on every damn fair.. |

Man, those were the days I remember not being able to sleep the night before a big MSX fair Cain set two records in the dutch demo scene: the longest scroll-text and the most demo's/intro's on the Picturedisk series IIRC our record was 3 productions on 1 picturedisk (#3 if i'm right).
Anyway that's not really important in this topic. Do we know who made the first screensplit yet? |

Not being able to sleep still happens to me .. dunno why, since fairs are less special than in the old days .. It's just silly, but I really can't get to sleep the night before a fair
btw.. do you remember how many tunes I made for cain ? ...that demodisk that never came.., ugh.., twins ( "nono, no delays, this game will be released!" ) ..  |

It was never my fault Just check the downloads section here. My gfx were done in time... UGH wasn't a Cain production btw. And btw, you released most of the tunes on Muzaxx 3 |

it must be zandvoort 1992... as tilburg 1993 was the release of noisedisk if i'm not mistaken and we didn't go to the smaller fairs in those first few years i think... it could be a fair somewhere between zandvoort '92 and tilburg '93 though and i guess that could be almelo ... lol... nostalgia... *sigh* |

I have the opposite nowadays... Even when I don't set the alarm-clock because I really don't want to go I somehow wake up at 7 in the morning leaving me without a good excuse not to go... It's happened to me twice now... Strangest thing... |

As if I'm the only redhead in the scene... Besides, I didn't that much cash to spare most of the time, and demo's weren't my thing back then. My coding skills weren't that good either. I couldn't even do a screensplit. The first on I made was in 1994 or so. Bard Pancras tought me that one. I did fool around with them on the interrupt and stuff, but never did anything releaseable. |

A youth trauma? And I always thought it was called nostalgia. For what I've heard groups even finishing things on the fair itself, not being able to get a copy before the last thing was added, made copies, etc. |
