Nowadays megademos might be put into the wild demo compo, but from what i know parties put length restrictions on those as well. The primary purpose of wild demo compos however is to allow platforms that do not compare well with the classic demo platforms, such as the various ARM mini computers, game consoles or really old computers.

I remember the term not being new in the late 80's on the Amiga and ST http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1331 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1331 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3119 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3119 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3242 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3242 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3972 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3972
