	Demo Scene Legal SNES Roms, GBA Rom and More
		The demoscene is a computer subculture that came to prominence during the rise of the 16 bit micros (the Atari ST and the Amiga), but demos first appeared during the 8-bit era on computers such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
		Demo writers went to great lengths to get every last ounce of performance out of their target machine.
		Where games/application writers were concerned with stability/functionality of their software, the demo writer was typically interested in how many CPU cycles a routine would consume and how best to squeeze as much effects and activity onto the screen.

	Pilgrimage: What Is The Demo Scene?
		The demo scene revolves around the creation and appreciation of "demos"--digital multimedia art generated in real-time from a program executing on a computer.
		At this point the intros became "demos", a demonstration of the skills of the people that had created it, and a new art form was born.
		New demos are often released in a compo at a demoparty.

	[No title]
		A dentro is a mixture of the characteristics of a '(DE)mo' and an 'i(NTRO)'.
		Since most demo coders are usually still busy with their education (read: students) they cannot afford the lastet buzz from the hardware market.
		This might be due to the fact, that the demoscene, in contrast to the 'hacker' and warez scene is unknown to a wider public audience and totally legal (and hence not 'thrilling' enough), decreasing a publishers' intrest to 'close to zero'.

	Demoscene at AllExperts
		Demos in the demoscene sense began as software crackers' "signatures", that is, crack screens and crack intros attached to software whose copy protection was removed.
		Although demos are still a more or less obscure form of art even in the traditionally active demoscene countries, the scene has had an impact on areas such as computer games industry and new media art.
		Sometimes demos even provide direct influence even to game developers that have no demoscene affiliation: for instance, Will Wright names demoscene as a major influence on the new Maxis game Spore, which is largely based on procedural content generation and is being programmed by many demoscene veterans.

	Computer Demos - The Story So Far
		Demos are conventionally programmed in assembler, but nowadays C and C++ are also popular, and only the most time-critical parts of the demos are programmed in hand-optimized assembler.
		Major demo parties have few percent of female visitors, but most these women are girlfriends of male demo scene members or local girls who just wandered there, because of free entrance.
		So far the demo scene hasn't evolved from concentrating on technical excellence instead of content and maybe this is one of reasons why the demo is slowly dying away.

	Gamasutra - Features - "Introduction to Demos & The Demo Scene" [02.16.01]
		The relationship of the demo scene to the game industry is similar to that of the game-mod community or the machinima community (ultra-low budget computer generated film-making).
		Demos in this sense are an artistic sketch.
		After you read the case study, I encourage you to download and run the demo This Is, by Orion, which answers the question, “What is a Demo.” (This demo is rendered in fl and white intentionally, it’s just part of its particular style—do not attempt to adjust your monitor).

	CFXweb - Demo and Game Development
		Demos are very close to music videos beside the fact that (in most cases) the CODE is the most important thing and not the music.
		However, you don't have to actually create in order to be a demo scener, though that's how people gain their 'fame' inside the scene so even if you don't do anything when you got inside at first, you'll get the urge to do so.
		Demo sceners were enjoying a feeling of superiority towards the Game Development industry for still doing simple-hardly-exciting games while they already had 3D Engines, shading effects and running it all smoothly in real-time.

	3.07: Demo or Die!
		Demos are the last bastion of passionate, crazed, enthusiast-only programming, crafted purely for the hell of it by inspired teenagers working entirely in their spare time.
		The demo scene is driven by competition, visible at its best in huge three- to five-day demo parties, which take place during the school holidays in mainland Europe.
		Historically, demo origins can be traced to early 8-bit home micros like the Commodore 64 and Apple II, but demos (and their corresponding culture) really took off when Commodore's 16-bit Amiga hit the market in 1985, with its hi-res graphics, 4,000-color palette, powerful video handling, and four-channel digitized sound.

	The Hacker Demo Scene And It's Cultural Artifacts by George Borzyskowski - Vince Scheib
		The scene is an aspect of a wider information technology related cultural environment which has it's origins with the beginnings of the automation of national and international telecommunications, and is characterised by an impetus among its adherents towards the discovery and exploitation of features available within the technological environment which are not publicly documented.
		Scene diskzine publications such as Eurochart, differentiate in their voting between single part demos which load the complete program into RAM prior to playback, and multi-load demos which continue to load segments during the demo presentation which can last for more than half an hour of continually changing program content.
		The demo as a means of posturing for status within a social structure in terms of stratification within the subculture is also worthy of noting as a factor in the motivation of individual and group effort.

	Math Games: 64K or Less - The Demoscene
		Making impressive computer intros split away from the game scene and became the way to introduce yourself through the "demoscenes" -- a movement of large computer parties, bulletin boards, and mailed disks.
		It's a first-time effort by a coder new to the scene.
		Many beautiful, life-like scenes, but this time there is a definite plot involved, and tension leading right up to the conclusion.

		Although the demo scene clearly had its roots purely in providing demonstrations of technical prowess and namechecking friends, there's a lot of really creative people involved who are doing something very artistic.

		Demos are also a good way of utilising various of the more obscure functionality in an app, and can also be used to highlight various areas that are ripe for optimisation.
		Demos tend to include a number of different effects, each one utilising one or a few specific features and taking it to the max (eg particle effects, run-time deformation of meshes, multiple over-laid cameras, additive effects).

	AAS Feature: The Free N-Gage Software and Demo Scene
		Given the hype behind Pathway, releasing a single level demo so everyone could see just what they were going on about was a master stroke.
		It’s possibly the most lacklustre demo, as it’s purely a single level demo, and even then I think the choice of Paris as the track was a mistake (New York would have been better).
		Not strictly a demo, but the success of the demo scene probably convinced Nokia to try using this "viral" market to good effect to release one of the landmark mobile games onto the N-Gage.
