Notes:

 - For Windows only (all versions)
 - Should run even on very old hardware
 - 100% malware/adware free, although it's a good habit to always launch
    new software on an offline computer (without any critical data) or virtual machine.
 - Also remember to verify the GPG Signature
 - More (and better) demos will follow. Feel free to post requests!
 - Tips appreciated

- 100% malware/adware free, but it's a good habit anyway to always launch
    new software on an offline computer or virtual machine.

I'd rewrite that to a VM or any computer without keys to an appreciable number of bitcoins. A bad program on an offline signing machine can cause loss of your cold storage wallet by deletion or corruption.

Thanks, amended.

Link is up now.

And here's a teaser of another one, with more advanced FX, coming soon

Standard precautions apply (see OP.)

Bitcoiners should gather prize money for a "Bitcoin Wild Compo" or something like that, at some good demo party. Alternative Party/Assembly next year?

Yeah, I've always thought the demo scene would be a great match for bitcoin.

Well, I think we should do it, definitely. I think the prize would be enough to get some interesting entries, I wouldn't be the only one to contribute I guess. Would like some more discussion about the topic! I guess Assembly Summer 2014 would be a nice party for this? It's BIG but has strong old school scene presence... or the Gathering. Both have around 5000 visitors.

EDIT: There's now a thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=383414.0

I'm unfortunately not in a position to contribute at this time, but the idea is great!

And here's #3 - Phenomena.
This one's mixing 2 different worlds... (8-bit intros vs BBS art scene)

Can ANYONE recognize the music?

BTW I'm just a novice with this type of things, still experimenting... And
I can only hope that the REAL demo coders catch the Bitcoin boat one day.

Nice work! I'd be happy to have a brain wallet generator program for my C64, I'd trust that! I think it would be doable, it would be a tedious ASM programming task though.
