Yay, my MindCandy Volume 1 demoscene DVD arrived today! This is a compilation of 42 of the best recent and oldschool PC demos (made between 1990 and 2001), plus a bunch of extras. I can't believe I'm actually listening to an audio commentary to Second Reality...

Now this is optimization: 256b.com features all sorts of 256 byte intros (all coded by hand in Assembler, probably) - amazing stuff, considering this is how big 256 bytes is:

1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678 1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678 1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678 1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678

Not a lot, but still enough to create a fire, water, tunnel, or 3d landscape effect. Some can even be interacted with using keyboard or mouse. [via hifidelity.org again]

Downloaded a bunch of real-time raytracing demos off of this page. Ooh! Pretty! [via this thread on tweakers.net]
