June 10th, 2006 was the 4th annual cheeze and demos party. This was the first year using a projector (at 1024 by 768) instead of the house television. For those who are interested and want to know more, here's a recap of the cheezes and demos this year.

DEMOS:

Most of these programs requre at least a Windows 2000/XP machine in the 1.5 GHZ range with a fairly fast 3D card (the majority require a pixel shader 2.0 or better card), a bit of ram and pretty new drivers and direct X updates. Other productions will be more or less difficult to run dependent on the requirements - I will try to link to videos whenever possible in those cases. The GBA and Spectrum ZX demow will require an emulator (no$gba is preferred for gba, and free elsewhere on the internet), where the amiga demos are significantly more difficult - there's emulators, but you need roms that aren't easy to come by unless you pay for them - ergo I reccomend the video versions.
