Trivia
In the film, Slyspy notes that a lot of the demoscene productions are finished in the last minute. Perhaps fittingly, the film itself was only finished on the day of the premiere.

Quotes
Slyspy: Everyone has way too little time to make demos, so things are left to the last minute. You usually go without sleep for the last few days, only concentrating on your demo. That usually manifests as flaws and little imperfections, because they're literally finished at the last minute, but this also provides a thrill that keeps people going. So in a sense it's like a mental extreme sport.

Crazy credits
The opening titles are done, fittingly, in the style of a C64 cracktro and a loader-bar respectively.

Connections
Followed by Vakondok 3 - Út a Felszínre (2014)

Great "historical" audio-visual movie

I know this movie from the director's mom- she recommended it to me. Well - I said - I'll give it a shot. After the first minute I could nonstop watching it since I was growing up in the 8 bit area and on this "historical" time line I came across some of the movie's demo/scene by chance - sweet memories.

Watching this movie I realized: wow these people are (still)around? They are making these things which are sometime much more better than a multi million dollar budgeted movie?

So even if you are younger it worth to watch because the visuals and the music is excellent and who knows? You might get inspired and become the next world famous scene coder.
