ECS 68000 Arte by Sanity [ Show youtube player ]

turrican3 · 20 September 2007, 23:53

yes a great one.
why do you like this one

s2325 · 21 September 2007, 00:01

because I saw it on my real Amiga long ago and it have not [ Show youtube player ]

spiff · 21 September 2007, 00:47

This will probably be another just using hardware vs good thread..but

I second Arte by Sanity..
Still wonder why no drivning game ever used the "textured" road/tunnel routine on an a500, that alone would have sold games.

For personaly prefer Substance by Aliance design/quartex. Mostly on nostalgia and memories

StevenJGore · 21 September 2007, 09:29

What about that Fairlight demo that was one disk but featured several minutes of compressed video (albeit very green!), I think it was called 242? That must have been quite a technical achievement?

Steve.

Zetr0 · 21 September 2007, 09:36

okay, peeps i think this would only be fair if we state a specific hardware (chip / chipset) and year

its hardly fair compairing an ECS 68k demo against an 020-AGA one.

what do you propose then

Zetr0 · 21 September 2007, 10:22

just a fair way of discussing it, such like

best amiga demo wont be fair to some others that had to do a lot more in a lot less.... how about a couple of catacorgies.... keeping it simple,

Best OCS demo between 90-91 / 91 - 92 and so on....
Best ECS demo
Best AGA demo

if you wanted this could also be limmited to memory requirements and or cpu... but this is where perhaps a POLL (shudders / cringe) could actually work in finding out criteria

turrican3 · 21 September 2007, 11:55

Can you make the poll zetro you seem to know where you want to go.

Graham Humphrey · 21 September 2007, 12:45

Why do you need a poll? All you have to do is list the best OCS demo, ECS demo and AGA demo, surely? And why you think they are the best technically.

Zetr0 · 21 September 2007, 13:20

perhaps its all the POLL SPAM effecting me...... i am not sure how to make a decision anymore..... without a POLL it seems....

I believe you to be very correct sir, listing ECS / OSC and AGA is certainly the way forward, perhaps also stating if it needs more than a basic machine... ie. cpu (030) or 8MB of fast ram etc.....

turrican3 · 21 September 2007, 15:31

and what do you think about starstruck ?
in fact it's hard to manage a top because there is so much demo and know every demo is impossible!

tarr · 21 September 2007, 21:25

Has anyone ever seen "LSD" and "LSD II" by Seagull Soft (later Darkage)?

turrican3 · 21 September 2007, 21:28

no do you have screenshots
or link to download page

tarr · 22 September 2007, 01:27

No, I don't. Once i found those in the good old days, but I haven't 'em anymore.

WayneK · 23 September 2007, 19:58

RSI Megademo, Hardwired by Crionics+TSL, Anything by Chaos/Sanity, Voyage by Razor. All legendary A500 demos in their day.
Can't comment on any accelerated/AGA demos because I was finished with Amiga by the time these machines were released...

logix · 23 September 2007, 21:29

Some of my Old Favorites:

68000-OCS:
Phantasmagoria by Anarchy, Budbrain Megademo, Delirium by Complex, Desert Dream by Kefrens

68000-ECS:
Anything WayneK already mentioned and,
X-Pose by Silents, Monoxide by Vanish, Wit by Freezers, Speed by Sim - Drake - Codex, Ninja by Melon Dezign

68020-AGA:
Nexus 7 by Andromeda, Full Moon by Virtual Dreams & Fairlight, Origin by Complex, Burning Chrome by Haujobb, Love by Virtual Dreams & Fairlight

There are too many very Good Demos for 68030 and above to be listed here.
TBL-Demos are a Class for themselves - Pure Beauty. (fix me beautifull)

That's great! Had to download the adf and run it on my 500 though to savour the full effect.... and it's even cooler on the real thing

Love Starstruck too for the more powerful miggys
