“ Brimming with creativity and enthusiasm, MindCandy Volume 2: Amiga Demos continues the trend of older technology being pushed to the limit. These 30 demos encompass a good cross-section of programming ingenuity over the past two decades, paying as much respect to earlier efforts as the most recent spectacles. The production team has done a fine job on this DVD (which apparently has been four years in the making), keeping the A/V presentation pure while adding experimental sound mixes and a few interesting playback features. ”

(English translation) “ MindCandy 2 is an excellent DVD for all demo freaks, and also for people outside the scene who would like to experience what is technically possible on hardware which is often considered obsolete. And yet, some of these productions stand up to what is released on high-end PCs. The DVD was produced by people who are visibly passionate about what they're doing. I heartily recommend this disk! ”

“ Excellent production quality has preserved the magic that is in all these demos. [...] This DVD is, for all intents and purposes, a history of my life in the scene, as told by other people. (Which everyone enjoys a LOT more than listening to me go on and on and off on tangents and things...) ”

“ I'm extremely happy how good the demos look on my old TV, as well as it did on my 32" LCD TV, all I can say, it looks really great. [...] The commentaries are good, especially Trixter really did a great job doing that, it's just a little pity that no more would supply a few minutes commenting their work. Highlight on the commentary is for sure Chaos and Mr Pet of Sanity (Chaos is still active in Farbrausch these days, for those that don't know), nice informative commentary on both their demos. The Black Lotus comments by Kalms were very nice too. ”
