The Amiga Demoscene, from its inception, has always evolved with the times, and reinvented itself, always pushing the limits of Commodore’s flagship machine. From the Megademo, at the end of the 80s, to trackmos in the 90s, 1994 was the beginning of a new development for the Demoscene, with many demos released that used all the power of the Amiga 1200.
Alice, Lisa, Paula, Gayle and Budgie…
The Amiga 1200 was released in October 1992, and was the third generation of Amiga for the home market. Like its Amiga 500 brother, it was designed to be a single box solution, incorporating the keyboard, processor, chipset, floppy disk drive, expansion ports internal and external, and support for an internal hard disk. The 68020 processor running at 14MHz was supported by 2MB of memory, AmigaOS 3, and the new Amiga Advanced Graphics Architecture – AGA.

A beautifully designed book with informative insights about the demoscene. Well researched, well written, a history of the corner of the demoscene.

Livre très classieux, photos magnifiques. Je me suis surpris à faire de belles découvertes. Merci pour ce magnifique livre que je recommande à tout fan d’Amiga.
Une version dans la langue de Molière aurait été un plus pour moi.
Bravo pour tout ce travail et encore MERCI

I really enjoyed volume 1 and volume 2 is great too. I backed through Indiegogo and got the extra postcards, which look really nice. And the book itself is really well made, with the handy QR codes and so many great interviews with the sceners. It gives a really good flavour of how the Amiga demoscene was developing and making use of the new AGA hardware. Top work.
NO I DO NOT WANT TO RETURN THE BOOK! –

This book is simply awesome!… every (not so) serious scener needs this really bad! sometimes you simply fell too lazy to dig out your hardware just to show off someone else what demoscene means so this books come very handy (unless you neet to show some moving pixels with sountrack…) 😉

Excellent second book in this series. A fantastic time capsule and trip down to memory lane. So great to have some background info about those fantastic demos i enjoyed on my Amigas during the 80s/90s! A book/series about the 8-bit demoscene would be awesome also 😉 Thank you for this splendid piece of work.
Denis –
Both container and content are gorgeous. So great to have all these first hand memories from interviewees. A really good job from the author. A must have for anybody who grew up with Amiga and/or the demo scene.

Une incroyable série de livres dont j’ai bien cru qu’elle ne verrait jamais le jour mais son auteur/éditeur s’est accroché et voilà le résultat, et quel résultat ! Deux magnifiques pavés, complets, détaillés et intéressants à lire (dans la langue de Shakespeare uniquement, pour le moment ?). Merci aux Éditions 64k et Amiga rulez ! ^^

Just love it!!!
waiting for vol III 🙂
Niels K (Split/BLC) –
What an amazing trip down memory lane. I was simultaneously reading and going to Youtube/Soundcloud to find all the Demo’s and amazing music from that time period. Both books are well worth getting if you were at all involved in the Demo scene or if you just loved the productions.

Love both of these books. A lot of work has went into the coalition of their contents and i’m loving the detail and the beautiful imagery. The post cards and poster are also a nice touch. Well done on a wonderful 2nd book that every amiga fan should own. (As well as the first of course!)
