Demoware was a megademo by the [[Bitmap Vandals]]. Coded by [[Obi]] and [[LDC]], it was a poor production with much ripped code.

== Parts ==

* '''Part 1''' consisted of a badly-drawn "Bitmap Vandals" logo with some pretty circling rasters behind, and some hacked music. This would have been quite good, except that it was blatantly ripped from a demo by Cach.
* '''Part 2''' displayed Gremlin and Ocean logos, as "thanks" for using their music. The colours chosen were completely inappropriate, as a result of Obi drawing them on a green-screen monitor, 'phoning up [[Wild Thang]] for "transcriptions", and deliberately being given the wrong values.
* '''Part 3''' showed a less than great Demoware logo, with the music from WEC Le Mans. It then turned into a flickery [[Vorspann]] demo without a scroll text.
* '''Part 4''' started with a picture of a red sports car - credited to Obi "92 (sic), but actually ripped from a [[Tim Blackbond]] slideshow. The headlights flashed on and off by repeatedly decompressing two screens. Music was by [[Weee!]], but had been so badly hacked that half of the instrument sounds were knackered. Obi claimed that it was a remix.
* '''Part 5''' was pretty much the same, but with a picture of a girl with golf clubs sticking out of her head, bizarrely. Quite well-drawn, but the wrong colours again...
* '''Part 6''' was a Vorspann demo "by" [[LDC]] (David Long), with a revolting "Magic Demo" logo.
* '''Part 7''' was an all-time classic. There was a 16x16 scroll with music, supposedly coded by Obi. However, if you took a sector editor to it, you found that Obi's scrolltext was inexplicably followed by a short section of German, crediting the 42-Crew. Surely it couldn't have been ripped? On pressing a key, a Vorspann scroll started up, followed by the 16x16 scroll again with Obi's memorable offer to swap his GT65 for your CTM644.
* Finally, '''part 8''' was a credits message with (gasp) Vorspann rasters behind it.
