Gonna break out the top three entries by category. Or less, if youtube isn't up yet.

Amiga Intro
Oldskool demo
Oldskool intro

This stuff is so cool; seems like magic to me. Wouldn't even know where to get started if I wanted to do this myself... :]

I just started by making scrollies, and thought about being a little more ambitious each time.
The cool thing about the retro-comp scene, is that you can't hide your work. Because everyone programs in ASM (more or less) anyone can decompile your program and see what's going on with a little effort. Obviously they won't have documentation, but that's not a huge deal. You can learn a lot from watching other demos and thinking about how they accomplished their effects.

Hehe, I caught the Amiga live, I got a good laugh from Truck losing his shit over Melon making an appearance. I'd never heard of them, but clearly they did something memorable in the past.
EDIT: MY GOSH. I love Conspiracy's 64k.

Going to take my time getting through these. The 256 byte ones always blow my mind...
