Demos are special computer programs. They are beautiful presentations made by tallented people - programmers, graphicans, musicans - just for fun. This is real electronic art. Size-limited demos are called intros, and there are some categories of them - we have intros in 64 kilobytes, 4 kilobytes, even in 256 bytes and less. It's wonderful that some people make very impressive effects in so tiny space.
Hello! My name is Pirx and I adore intros. I collect them - my assemblagel includes thousands of small productions. I decided to release my collection, which contains 64KB intros (also games, cracktros, BBStros) and smaller, all I was able to find. Now you don't have to search for intros, download and unpack them one by one - you can get extremely big set in one ZIP archive!
Get the ultimate intros collection and enjoy:
hardcode.zip (262MB)
Download count:
2591
Antivirus note: archive contains thousands of executable files, so it's recommended to disable antivirus software while downloading. Most of antiviruses detects some threats in the package - these alerts are false, and they are caused by sophisticated compression methods applied for many intros.
Here are some statistics and other useful information about the archive:
Do you want to send me any opinions, suggestions etc? Feel free to mail me (address below). I'm sure there are some intros around I couldn't find. If you have any tiny demos (64KB and less) that are missing in my collection, send them to me, please. The archive will be updated. Thanks in advance.
