There is nothing like what Amiga games and these demo's and intro's were back in the day. I'm so happy I got to live during that time and experience it. These vids are so nostalgic it hurts 🙂
The guys who programmed these were so freaking brilliant, they were like gods to me as a teenage kid with my Amiga 500 😎
47:35 the first ever cracktro I saw on the Amiga. I was 16, owned a C128 and hearing the music just made my jaw drop. I knew even more so that I just had to have an Amiga and sure enough it was my first ever big purchase out of own funds. This cracktro really marks my first ever baby steps into the Amiga world.

Hah, it would have been one of the first for me too - I would have been 16 as well, even back then I thought it was hilarious irony that they called someone out for being a thief whilst boasting about cracking and distributing a commercial piece of software...
I switched computers in the late 80's. My friend bought C64 and I got one 1 year later... Then he bought an Amiga and I thought why when the C64 was such an amazing machine... Loved to program the C64, so much stuff to tinker with... First thought about the Amiga was that it was so totally different and I would have to forget everything and start from scratch again so I was hesitant. But the games won me over, and the raw power of the machine for painting, music, raytracing, programming and so on and on... and the OS was multitasking... was just incredible... But I do regret not learning C as the AmigaOS was built for and around C... First programming language (compiled) was Pascal :-) I loved the language but it was not well suited for AmigaOS... Remember so many days/nights when I had (most often OctaMED as I liked that better) in the background for just music and programming and Real3D doing raytracing and DeluxePaint for graphics work and more running (sometimes a Scenery Animator with a fractal landscape animation) and it worked beautifully with AmigaOS and setting priorities so my Pascal IDE was main focus and the rest shared the CPU time left... I felt so productive... and it was my most productive days for sure!
Oh wie vermisse ich meine Amiga´s , die alten BBS Zeiten und die Demos.
Haven't seen this Ottifanten demo in 30 years. The frog was so adorable 😁
The tune of the Ackerlight demo is the sound of the good old days.
Excellence, started playing computer and video games in 1980, very glad i experienced those days. Thank you for posting this.
Thank You Bro. You wake up my old nostalgic memories that was are: [00:00 - New Swappers, Dexion 1988], [41:22 - Megademo 2: Starwars Scroll, Dexion 1989], [44:30 - Speedball Trainer, Ackerlight 1988], [56:06 - Amiga Call, Megaforce 1988].
This makes me very emotional, thanks for this. Long live Amiga

Aber die Zeiten sind vorbei das waren die 80er und 90er Jahre sowie die 8-Bit Zeiten womit alles begann mit meinem TI 99 4A mit Extendet Basic und den ersten Joysticks für den TI dann den 8 Bit Atari .
The music of Jimmy Fredriksson (Firefox) at 7:38 defined my first few months of Amiga ownership. I adored the melancholy at the end of the Phenomena Megademo that worked fine on my mate's v1.2 Kickstart A500 but wouldn't work on my newer v1.3. Was devastated. Worth looking up - Firefox Never Ending Love Amiga. How can a sequenced piece of music comprised of just a few samples on a barely capable machine tug at your heartstrings so much ;-)

Any insight on how this music was made? Am guessing a certain amount of sampling went into it at the final stages (to fit on a disk). But the 'amiga' music sound is so distinctive that I feel like some specific software and hardware must have been more commonly used than others for amiga game music.
dude, these soundtracks are straight up FIRE

loved the late 80's amiga demos, they had a certain charm ; especially that old skool music
Conqueror & Zike sure knew how to make a tasty intro with very little resources and file size. Pure nostalgia, I'm old now.
I know that the music is contemporary but the presentation was amazing and the music was on point. Excellent.
Just downloaded the first tune (From the game Power Ball'88) and I love it. It's amazing how well these songs aged. I mean, I would call many 80s computer music as chipmusic, but Amiga songs, like this SKT gem, really captures the feel and the life from that era.
That MFC intro at the end takes me back. Lovely tuneage..
Seven Sins by Scoopex. Man, such awesome music!
great stuff love it!!!
I think there outta be CD releases of music from demos like these!
Let me make this clear. I was born in 1996. I'm wasn't around, nor old enough to truly experience these demos. it's 2017 now. I'm 21. I'm a computer nut. I don 't care how old the computer is. I especially like the Amiga series of PC's, as well as a commodore fan as well, although I don't own any PC's from that era (MY oldest PC I have currently is a Dell Dimension L1000r, which was from 2001). In conclusion, these sound better when played on PC speakers or a 5.1 channel and beyond surround sound system. Awesome!

Thanks for these not-so-known intros, very refreshing! Amiga rulez ! Fun to see the usual tunes used again and again in the intros, from 4mat, UncleTom, and good old Futurecomposer stuff.
Wow, I remember most of these and was just starting my scener journey and it wasn't for another couple of years till I could code all of the effects in these demos.
Thank you for the video...
thanks for this collection and for tagging the demos/intros in the details!
I remember the pink elephant one so well. Great tune and funny animation. Thx for sharing!
I want this to be streamed directly to my brain
I've never seen many if these demos (only a few cracked games back in the days). This is the best Amiga music so far with Continental Circus Trainer (demo 13) being very good.
What a time it was to be alive
The scroller alone is world class for the Amiga but with everything else going on it’s ridiculous. What amazing programming
thanx for making this :) awesome music
This stuff is really good! I Love the way they are just wide of common (apart from Comic Bakery of course.) Good job sir!
Thank you! Great Compilation!
Brings back so many memories, thank you!
Einige Songs habe ich auch auf den Atari 800 XL umgesetzt mit Original Namen natürlich und Digit Drums und Sample-Geräuschen so wie es möglich war . Ich hatte nur 40 kb frei für Samples . Später : Als Speichererweiterung hatte ich nur 512 kb Ram und 312 kb Rom im Rechner . Das war damals genug , obwohl genug Ram konnte man damals nicht genug haben für solche Tricks !

15:00 cool scroller!
42:00 hilarious... that tune is about as close to Comic Bakery as actual Comic Bakery is to Hot Water 🤣
How sad that someone has put a copyright claim on a song in this video. Back in the day the demo scene was all about sharing and building on each others' ideas. How quickly some people succumb to greed.
Photon's corkscrew demo from Phenomena is amazing. Best corkscrew scroller ever, sorry Scoopex! ;)
Definitely the 56:06 - Amiga Call, Megaforce 1988 is the vibe of early Amiga mods. Amazing! Ping....

Can anyone help me? My dad sorta remembers a amiga pd demo from the late 80's to 90's. It was a fish bowl demo that had a few german speaking fish swimming around and around saying to each other "Hi hi, bye bye fuck off and die!" and that's all it was, you just loaded it and kept it running. Has anyone got any info on this? We think he got it from a UK seller called "17-BIT PD" (one bit better than the rest)

Right I have been looking for this demo for ages there was a hip hop track released called 20 seconds to comply. based on Robocop in 1989 BUT there was a much better song done on the Amiga Demo scene. it was a far better song. from what I can remember back then it had a line like this "put down your weapon you have 20 seconds to comply, Im gonna get him now son, dd d dd d dont do it, you think your pretty smart think you can out smart a bullet, ddd d dont do it" could of been SAE (share and enjoy/scare and annoy) lol please put an old 16bit nerd out of his misery and post it. cheers. off back to elite dangerous now.
