Not quite. Megademos are simply really big demos, the very first example of which being Second Reality by Future Crew. link to this video 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.
