Talk:Demoscene

I took the following citaton from the wikipedia in the subject Motorola_68000
"When the 68000 was introduced, 16-bit buses were really the most practical size. However, the 68000 was designed with 32-bit registers and address spaces, on the assumption that hardware prices would fall."
both model, at the begining of yout article what you mentioned (atati st and amiga) contained this processor, so it is not a 16bit minicomputer... i think
tnx
List of Groups
Perhaps the list of groups should be cut down only to notable groups that people would know, like FairLight? Wikipedia is not a web directory or advertising platform. To that length, listing demoparties or demoshows like Pilgrimage should also be considered to be removed; instead, a link to an updated list such as that at Ojuice would be a better fit for Wikipedia.
- No one is going to agree who is "notable" or not, and will result in some sort of flamewar. Alternately we should consider creating a wikipedia page explicitly for demo groups or refer to the demo groups category page. -- RaD Man
- Indenting and signing your name on the Talk page rather than re-editing your original paragraph is helpful so I know who I am speaking with. I will reiterate that I believe this Wikipedia entry has outgrown itself and should be broken up into fragmented pages (such as demoscene, demo groups, demo parties). As for the Pilgrimage Demo Party, it is a fully qualified and active demoparty -- certainly not something to be confused with a short-run demoshow. Whereever the demoparties are listed on Wikipedia, it will belong. -- RaD Man
Also, PLEASE at least try to have a clue what you're saying. It has NEVER been 'Fair Light' and the L is not capitalized.
- This list of Demoscene groups is just that, and I'm beginning to feel it's overcrowding the point of the article. Is anyone in favor of splitting this off into a seperate article of sorts? Radman1 22:42, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Aye. Would be nice indeed. // Gargaj 12:10, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Just a thought, but maybe one should look for demos already added like Second Reality and list them just like the groups... Rad? :D --Gargaj 13:17, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Europe vs. USA vs. Asia
My impression as an outsider is that the demoscene is a largely European phenomenon. If this is true, it should probably be mentioned in the article. I don't think one hears much about demos in the US. And I really wouldn't know about Asia. Some sort of information on geography would make this a more informative article for those readers unfamiliar with the scene. Gwimpey 01:51, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
- This is mostly correct. Historically there have been several Russian demoparties and there is an even an active Japanese demoparty which recently took place just last month (but it is only a virtual party by way of the 2ch BBS website). Throughout the United States/Canada there has been at least 11 documented physical demoparties ever [1] (http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/polygony/na-parties.html), a small number in stark contrast to the approximately 70 demoparties which take place each year throughout all of Europe.
