Relive the golden days of the demoscene with the Amiga Intro compo — where copperlists, blitter magic, and Paula’s sweet sound collide in a celebration of classic hardware and pure scene spirit.
💾 What is it? This compo is all about creating a demo intro that runs on a real Amiga. Whether it’s 40K of beautifully optimized assembly or a tight OCS tribute, Amiga Intros combine retro tech with timeless style.
📏 Rules:
- Target platform: Commodore Amiga (OCS, ECS, AGA — specify your requirements).
- Commonly accepted configs:
- A500 (OCS, 512k+512k or 1MB Chip RAM)
- A1200 (AGA, 2MB Chip RAM, 68020+)
- Must run from a standard floppy or hard drive setup — no modern accelerators unless stated and agreed.
- Must be an intro — size-restricted formats such as 64K, 40K, or intro-style productions are welcome.
- No external data loading beyond initial startup unless part of your release (e.g., trackloaders).
- No illegal memory access — your intro must be stable and friendly to the compo machines.
- Entries will be played on real hardware whenever possible.
🔥 Style Points:
- Classic effects like plasma, vectorballs, copperbars, and syncscrollers never go out of fashion.
- Use chiptunes or MODs to deliver that authentic Amiga vibe.
- Optimize like a maniac — cycle-counting, blitter tricks, and smart memory use are part of the craft.
🏆 Why Enter? The Amiga Intro compo is where nostalgia meets mastery. It's a salute to the pioneers and a playground for those who still speak 68k fluently. Make your mark on the legacy — one copper rainbow at a time.
