Best thing ever if you're going to trip inside

For all of you who have PC's and are running some version of windows, here's something WONDERFUL. They're called "demos". I've been into them for a couple years now, but I never thought to share their beauty with anyone else. Basically they're self-running executable programs that take anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes to run their course, and are pretty much just beautiful trips synched to music. I know a lot of you probably enjoy winamp visualizers when you trip, but this is 10000x better. Trust me. Here are some screenshots from various demos I've watched (sorry for the small size):
The first one is called "cluster", the second is "A deepness in the sky", the third is "petroleo", and the last is called "The S". They can all be found on the monostep site. Just click on "year" option on the "demos sorted by" menu. There are TONS of them. I also recommend Nature v2.0. Anyway, tell me what you think, and happy tripping :-D

oh, make sure you extract everything in the file, not just the executable. Some of them are only one file, and some are many files (but they all should have only 1 executable). Download this and just run the exe file thats in it (it doesn need anything else) and tell me if it works. If it doesnt, you probably just need to get newer drivers for your video card, which (for most new cards) can be found at http://www.nvidia.com.
hope you can get your computer working with them, they're the trippiest things I've ever seen in my life (excluding stuff outdoors).

I'm having a hard time with this one too. After extracting I got an error and couldn't get it to run. It looks cool, though, and I want to get it to work.

Most demos were made to run on much older hardware (x86's). Many ran through DOS (lots of Amiga demos though too) and did things without 3D cards that were amazing for their day.
There was a DVD released recently, with some of the most popular ever demos on it, definitely looks interesting. http://www.mindcandydvd.com/
-------------------- The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame". In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience. And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him. "Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

This stuff is really freaking cool.. Scene.org has a nice section of recommended demos.. Just make sure you download ones appropriate for your machine or get an emulator.. it also includes demos written for Gameboy and Playstation... and there are Amiga ones you can run with an emulator... I recommend anything by TBL (The Black Lotus) or Blasphemy. Moral Hard Candy by Blasphemy is a definite must see.

Wow. Nice shit.
I remember seeing some things like these WAY back in the day, and being perplexed as to how they did all that and got it into a 49k file and such.
