The two first big Oric demos were released at the Very Important Party.

The "Oric Giga Demo" was released at the VIP3 in 2001, and then "Quintessential" released at the VIP4 in 2002.

Thirteen years later we are back with a modest contribution to the VIP 20151.

This time it's not an epic effort in which a dozen of persons contributed; it is just a small pure technical screen such as we were busy doing back in the late eighties.

By definition the Tech Tech2 type of screens is impossible to do on the Oric, but I tried my best to give something that at least gives the idea, which in this particular case meant that it had
to:
  • contain digisound
  • ideally Kraftwerk
  • some carebears images
  • scrolls in all directions
  • have as many layers as possible
  • and be totally unreadable

Mission accomplished? I let you judge!

And here is a video of the demo in action:






1. The text in the demo is actually incorrect: It shows 2005 instead of 2015!
2. Sodan & Magician 42 released 'Tech Tech' on the Amiga in November 1987 and in December 1989 The Carebears converted it into 'Grodan and Kvack Kvack' for the Atari ST
