Razor 1911's eponymous demo celebrating 40 years of the group, which won first place at the Revision 2026 demo competition and the public's choice award. It is a retrospective of keygen and warez scene culture with chiptune music.

HN commenters point to it as an impressive showpiece of the demoscene and a nostalgic career retrospective of a legendary group.

This is so sick! Revision faded out the credits part, which is still really cool on its own. The full version (10m 16s) can be viewed at [VIDEO]

It's so cool to see that some of these groups are still making incredible pieces of digital art as recently as this year! This Razor1911 career retrospective demo from Revision was pretty impressive: [VIDEO]
