Don't worry mate I feel exactly the same, it's like when your you're young you feel like you have an eternity ahed of you, but you don't actually realise how short the time you have is. This music takes me back.
Agreed. That's why I have classic computers and play cracktos on RUclips... To feel how blown away that kid felt by this amazing technology, artwork, music and exploration, all those years ago, just for a few seconds.
@@igakoga2481 The demo is also "gameplay and enemy AI". The only difference is the input, the demo doesn't have it. It has moving sprites, parallax, sound, etc, just like a game.
To be fair, most of these demos were only a few kb in size and I think the Amiga could load around 10-20kb per second, hence why it loaded up pretty much as soon as you put the disk in. In fact it could have been even quicker because most demos were highly compressed and the Amiga had to decompress them which added a slight delay.
It's my guess that most of the coders cut their teeth writing demos for the C64 and were used to creating incredibly compact code. When I started coding on a Sinclair ZX80 I had a massive 1kb to play with. You had to be creative!

37:39 I was wrapped to see one of my old groups crack intro's in there... Punishers.. Caddy was a cool guy I met him at one of the few Aussie Parties in Canberra where he compiled his demo (at the time with DefJam) for the comp on my A500. I've often wondered all these years later where he got to.
Awesome compilation. Thank you for taking the time to create this. An awesome tribute to the second best computer ever (Sorry, zx spectrum was my first one)

Loved the amiga and 64 days and miss them ❤❤❤ still rocking both machines when new demos come out and as amazing as that stuff is, its just not those fun days anymore, but amazing stuff is being done with love on those amazing machines still, Gotta love that ❤❤❤

i remember those times with the fraudulent calling cards. i thought it were sprint cards. in europe they used those to login on bbs in the USA for free. the biggest problem was because some people started to selling them and then the FBI actually caught a guy from a huge group. but it was a lot of fun. specially calling pizzahut in the states and ask them to deliver a pizza to europe :)
02:05 Most legendary Post Box ever? :) :) :) And that Anthrox cracktro/trainer for Ruff 'n Tumble is just the peak of human achievement! Accel's (Alex Craxton) introtune is just... so simple, yet so amazingly powerful... I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now :) so many memories...
Excellent work. Seeing all those cool graphic tricks in the intros brought back a lot of memories (ahem, not that I had any cracked games back then....).

so many names seen in C64 and Amiga cracking games. And YES, in many of them the intro was better than the game. ;-) THX for the nostalgia....The worse system won again *fg
@@SwedishWargoat Wow, I had no idea this tune was from a Konami game! All these years I just thought it was made especially for the cracktro. Excellent knowledge sir!
Hey thanks, written in probably 1991 between my Ipec Elite and Dimension X days under the pseudonym Accel. Playback sounds a bit off in this though :-)
HULLO! I was happy to see one of my songs is here (twice in fact, 39.39 and 47.24). However, I am (or was) Top-Azz / Parallax Design (or Amaze) and composed a series of such zip-modules (Piknukipale 1-4 and Hyperpiknukipale) early 90’s. You can find the original intro from youtube: commodore amiga demo: parallax - apocalypse
3:57 anyone know what the original song or track for this one is? I have been looking for it for years.... If anyone happen to know, please kindly let me know, i would really appreciate it! :D
It is called Loader Tune 1 (using my pseudonym Accel), I wrote it in about 1991 probably sometime between being in Ipec Elite and Dimension X but got shared around a lot of groups in cracks but was meant for an intro that never got finished
@@alexcraxton9337 holy smokes I'm so honored to have actually met with the real creator, it really is a blast from the past nostalgic trip dude, its freaking amazing! :D thank you so much!!
As a big fan of intros I have to admit that I prefer the C64 Intros because of the unique sound of the sid chip. The Amiga was so superior in graphics and other aspects, but the sound is a little to clean IMHO. Nevertheless both computer where unmatched in the 80s, what a great time.
@@SwedishWargoat Keep coming back, awesome compilation, especially as nice background music for anything. The TRSI one at 27:25 always lifts up my spirits in the wagecage.

Most times these intros show more technical expertise working with the Amiga than the games itself.
These were real pieces of arts.
Except when the game was Agony or Lionheart :-)
@@pierreschmidt271 Or Ruf N Tumble and Fighting Spirit.
That's thanks to demoscene ❤️
@@igakoga2481 The demo is also "gameplay and enemy AI". The only difference is the input, the demo doesn't have it. It has moving sprites, parallax, sound, etc, just like a game.
The Amiga was (and still is)Such an incredible Home computer that even the intros were EPIC !
Most amazing thing for me at the time was how instantly these cracktros loaded. Disk popped in and bam, cracktro playing!
Yeah, I always marvelled at the same thing. Absolutely INSTANT loading. How the hell did they do it?
Chillz down my spine
To be fair, most of these demos were only a few kb in size and I think the Amiga could load around 10-20kb per second, hence why it loaded up pretty much as soon as you put the disk in.
