Pouët, or '''''pouet.net''''', is arguably the largest ''comprehensive'' on-line directory for the Demoscene today. The site was established in 2000 by Laurent Raufaste (a.k.a. Analogue of Mandarine) and is currently maintained by Filipe Cruz (a.k.a. Ps / Tpolm). While there are several noteworthy archives and forums in existence (e.g. Scene.org ), Pouet.net is unique in that it offers Screenshot s and commentary on each multimedia production or software tool ("''Prods''") and links to an external URL where that file may be found, rather than storing the file locally. Pouet does not cater to any one specific hardware or software platform, listing prods for Commodore 64 , Amiga , Linux , MS-DOS , Windows , and even Game Consoles and Handheld PDAs . The name "Pouët" comes from the French Onomatopoeia for the Trumpet sound. While useful as resource to research or locate demoscene-related files, Pouet also hosts a notorious Internet Forum for discussions. Discussions which have become derailed and off-topic are deemed "''pouetized''", which is the case on almost every discussion. EXTERNAL LINKS |
