According to an old FSW member in Pouet, the first 3D BLITTER demo created by FSW was not this one. It was a cube with the letters FSW on the sides. He wasn't sure if the first demo was green.

Demo 1 by The Star Frontiers, released in 1987, was the first demo to include both ASM and C sources on disk. Demo was coded by Quark.



Readme from Quark:

This DEMO is Public Domain and may be spread freely.

The Demo boots directly with this disk. To compile the program, use Aztec-C
Compiler and the makefile in this directory. (I think the code could
probably compile with Lattice, but care should be taken with the assembler
macros in display.asm and the Assembler directives). The help.i file will
be of use perhaps if you write your own code accessing the Amiga hardware.

This Code, after loading several recources and initialising data structures,
directly jumps into the assembler routine, canceling all interrupts and
multitasking. There's no return.

I hope, you enjoy it.

Man, that tune by Olof "Blaizer" Gustafsson is great!

Released in April 1993, Interference by Sanity was the first Amiga demo to use six big balls. The big balls routine was coded by Cosmos and was a world record at the time.

This needs to be studied further, since the demo Love and Anarchy by Carillon (1992) also shows six large balls, however, with fewer bitplanes (colors)

Any coder who can confirm this please?

This looks like 6 bitplanes in half-brite mode due to the fact one of the circles is always a darker shade of the other colors.

What's the world record for big balls? Rink a Dink: REDUX by Lemon released in March 2013, and ranked 1st in Revision 2013 demo compo, feature 9 big balls, the coder Paradroid mentioned in the demo: "A world record? I actually found out about an OCS demo that had already done 8 after finishing this effect, so I went back and redid it to get an extra one in there. This was all done with bitplanes which is why I was able to add a translucency effect too, unlike other demos which use sprites for the balls at the back. A think I can push the number even higher, but that will be the task for another demo."

DERP 2014 Invitation intro, coded by Photon of Scoopex, was released in September 2013 and ranked 2nd place in the Amiga competition at the Gerp 2013 party. Notably, it holds the world record for number of real time bobs in an Amiga OCS.

XLarge by Spreadpoint was released in February 1989 and is likely the record holder for multiple text scrollers, featuring a total of 48.

They don't seem to be moving independently though and judging by frame to frame they are duplicated / mirrored.

Going by pure amount, the one in Freedom Force Megademo (1989) has over 50 scrollers, and I'm sure I saw even more elsewhere when the simultaneous scrollers competition was still on.

This is totally meaningless as there were no common ground for those bobs records.

For example: 700 bobs: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=15994 or 1010 bobs: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=21206

As mentioned, this is wrong.

For example even this one does have more scrollers: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=17624

I'm surprised this one wasn't mentioned:

First rotozoomer effect on Amiga (among other things).

Nope, it was introduced in the previous year in Sanity's Turmoil music disk.

That's not the same effect at all, afair the one you're referring to is actually blitter stretching like this one: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=14569
