LOOK AT THEIR HAIRCUTS
[video=youtube;r9X3K2dRMdM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9X3K2dRMdM[/video]
I remember my cousin who used to organize lans in 1998-99 and I would attend some of them as a spectator since I was 5 and I remember the whole damn thing. The half-life 1 deathmatch lans were amazing and I will never forget the joy of seeing some dudes with their keyboards going to some house to play. I recently organized a lan and I as I was watching my mates playing on their laptops (we couldn't get the towers) I felt proud taking my cousin's steps as I promiced to myself as a kid that when I grow up I will do such a thing myself.

What an achievement :v:
Tony "Toxic" Petterson's haircut would be right with the trend today.
I miss the days of having a 50 ton CRT monitor with 4 metre thick glass
Looks like all they did was compare media player skins and stare at visualizations.

"dataparty"
oh my god it gets BETTER
LET ME GO BACK
If there's someone who can tell me where I can get the song from I'd be very happy, even more if there's a place where I can find more of that music, especially in the original format.
Looks like they were making MOD music and demo's.
Sweet fucking Lan in that case.

From the first demo named Extension (I think it's shown multiple times throughout the whole video too): [URL]http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=47229[/URL]
The other song(s) I don't know unfortunately.
Play it with your favourite MOD player/tracker.
ah the 90s
pretty crazy looking back on John Carmack using a 28" CRT 1080p monitor back in 1995

Thanks for the link, I will never get enough from MOD music, listening to them trough headphones seems a bit weird though, it doesn't feels right.

Back then "gaming" wasn't really the main thing people did at those kinds of "conventions".
Instead they consisted of extremely young and clever hobbyist music composers and programmers, conducting day-long sessions of programming and composing to see who could create the most efficient and graphically/otherwise impressive piece of software.
Those "visualizations" they're staring at are drawn by code that probably took several hours, or even days to write.
It should also be noted that the developers behind 3DMark, and also those behind Max Payne and Alan Wake started off by going to parties like this when they were like 15 years old.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;46287414]Those aren't PC's they are all Commodore Amiga's and Atari ST's.
(Both of which shat all over the IBM PC of the time)[/QUOTE]
yup, thats what made second reality so big
its the fact that it was able to match the amiga in demo quality
we're a bunch of fuckin nerds in here
desert dream's p cool

There's no shame in admiring truly fine art
Demoparties like these still exist. Went to Revision in Germany 1.5 years ago and participated in the tracked music competition (with a FastTracker 2 song).
Placed 12th with this;

Sidenote: Gaming is not allowed at Revision (casual gaming is - just not LAN-party style gaming)
This stuff reminds me of cube but serious.

Ah I remember when my cousin's CRT monitor broke and the entire assembly fell onto me when I was laying on the ground getting some wires.

it's not just c64, you name the computer, and there's probably still an active scene for it, ctrix put out a SNES demo yesterday.
I really want to visit a demoparty, but thay're all in mainland europe, so a masive pain to get to.
The guy at 1:52 looks alot like a young Gottfrid Svartholm (piratebay founder)

at least one of them.
I remember going to this website in middle school and having a terrible time trying to run some of the demos on a 5200 ultra [url=http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php]Pouet[/url]
All of these people are probably very successful IT people today.
how were the 3d graphics made?
