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 4KB 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 (43.2MB)
Download count:
1742
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 (4KB and less) that are missing in my collection, send them to me, please. The archive will be updated. Thanks in advance.
The best and the biggest demoscene centers:
scene.org - the biggest demoarchive on the Web
pouet.net - your online demoscene resource; thousands of prods, thousands of comments
256b.com - 256 bytes should be enough for everyone
intro-inferno.com - world of intros and cracktros

I want HardCode to be maximum comprehensive, but also absolutely clean (for example to not worry your antiviruses), so I've decided to exclude some "unclean" intros from the collection. You can download them in original archives.
