Super HiRes Demoscene Prods?

Foebane · 12 September 2015, 21:50

Are there any Amiga AGA demos that show off this resolution? I'd be curious to see what could be produced with such detail.

At least some prods use it to achieve a 320 pixel wide 18bit mode in HAM.

Probably something running really slow

sounds like the sort of thing NewTek might have tried

Tint by The Black Lotus was extremely HAM8-heavy, and the level of detail it had could really only be achieved by Super HiRes, I think. I'll have to examine it to confirm.

The HAM8-effects in Tint were in a 160 pixel wide mode (so, HAM in medres).

Virtua Karts was using Super HiRes to get more colors on the screen and it was not slow. Maybe a demo in that mode could be done. I have no idea why someone would do it but it seems not impossible.
Also some pictures in slideshows and demos may Super HiRes.
Maybe the still pictures of the wizzard or the glass in the end of Voyage in Storm? Can be wrong here but they flicker like hell on a 1084.

Not demoscene prod but a game: Pinball Brain Damage. In multiball mode it switches to 1280x512 and is very smooth.
