I first encountered scenedemos on the Amiga 2000 in 1989 or so. The first
demo I ever saw on that platform was Raster Magic by Megaforce ( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=13481 ). I didn't even know what kind of thing it was, but I must have watched it 100 different times in the days
after I downloaded it from a local BBS. My favorite oldschool Amiga demo is probably Phenomena's Enigma ( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=394 ).
Arte was also awesome ( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1477 ), from Sanity. There are some amazing, recent OCS/ECS demos that have landed as well, and they blow the mind and are technically miles beyond anything from decades earlier, but I can't really point to just which of these new demos is the
best to me.

I moved to PC in 1994 and my favorite group there was Future Crew, with 2nd Reality being my favorite of that era (
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=63 ). Another of my very favorites on DOS is Dope by Complex ( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=37 ). I had (and
have since sold and then much more recently re-created) a 5x86 160MHz DOS machine with a Gravis UltraSound and a 2MB VLB Tseng ET4000/W32p video card (the best chipset for that class of machine for demos) to watch these demos. (So I can't watch demos after 1996/7 very well.) I would not mind building a
P3 DOS PC or a AMD-Thunderbird-based unit for later DOS demos.

I also have an Atari 520ST w/ 4MB RAM and some of the recent demos for that platform are amazing. Really great what they can wring out of that hardware. Also use a PAL Atari 800XL for demos on that platform, but I'm pretty new to it.

Cheers.
