PD Demos listing

Here follows some of the PD demos and other similar software that I own, and a few others too depending on what I've bothered to type up. This is a very small proportion of the demos written for the Spectrum. You may also look at:

KEY TO TYPES

* = Snapshot (so Spectrum-emulator required, or some other method of viewing (eg +D with software))
@ = Available via ftp as .TAP or binaries.
# = Available via ftp as a .SNA or .Z80 ZIPped snapshot from various sites
128 = Needs a 128K Spectrum/emulator which does it ie a 128/+2/+3/+2A or Z80 emulator/XZX?
(YS)=Copied from a "Your Sinclair" magazine covertape (or sometimes "Sinclair User") and not easily convertible - only some of them work on snapshots.

Virtually all the software below will be available from one or more of the PD libraries. I will also warn the unwary - some demos use rather rude language, particularly in the scroller texts. Also some may contain err.. 'interesting' pictures or animations so beware!

Demos that have 128 in the name are usually for the 128K computers (or emulators that can do them) only.
I have tried to include the name of the group or person who wrote it (in brackets after the demo name) and after that a brief description.

Got any others?

Thats all at the moment until I get down to writing down that MASSIVE list from Alchemist Research (only a few thousand!). There are still a large number to be added to this list. If you know of other PD demos/ utilities/ etc that are preferably not on any of the PD libraries lists, please let me know of them and I will put them in here.
And then send them to a library and to me! (If you have them). I am always glad to receive letters/ emails from fellow Spectrum users, and in particular if you are interested in demos or a coder or +D owner.

A greet now, (as is want of demo writers :-). Hi to all real Spectrum owners with or without a +D disk system and anyone else interested, I'm always looking for new contacts for swapping demos and other stuff and just generally to write silly letters to.
If you send me a blank disk (or - arrgh - tape) and SAE, with a nice letter, I might copy you loads of stuff depending on what you are interested in.
