About
One volume with every GS/OS-launchable demo in this section already installed, plus the tools some of them need (Tool035, Tool220 and friends in System/Tools). Boot it and the Finder opens on a Demoscene disk with folders for Opale, Bille Art, Beauvais 1992, the Christmas Demo 2007, SuperMagic, the Winter Demo, FireDemo, Interweaver, the GS<>IRC demo and a Demos folder holding Polygonia, FillMaze, Plasma, XAOH, Boink, the Software Experience, the Zavtra and GS Underground sets, KFest 2013, Look Behind You, Not Modulae, Stripes and more.
It is built on the CoGS boot disk (System 6.0.4), so it also streams to a real IIGS from a CoGS card and boots from a CFFA. Demos that refuse to run under GS/OS (the Ninjaforce classics, Nucleus P8, Synchro Cyclo) are on the companion ProDOS 8 volume instead. Floppy-only demos (FTA, the early French and US disks) are not here at all; each of those pages boots the original disk image in the browser's floppy drive.
What is on this volume 37 folders, 31 title pages
Boots to the Finder. Open the volume, open the folder, double-click the program named in the Launch column.
