9 Fingers Demo: 9 Fingers [H.264] [DivX]
Group: Spaceballs
Released: December, 1993

Spaceballs kicked the video-style demos up a notch when they released “State of the Art” back in July, 1992. The following year they released “9 Fingers” (at The Party), which took their original vector animation idea a stage further and introduced smaller, coloured polygons to give more depth than the previous vector silhouettes.

What made it all the more amazing was it ran on the original MC68000 7.14MHz Amiga 500.

A truly awesome demo.

    wow… loved it. Can’t tell you why I watched it again since I can remember every bit of the demo :P I used to watch this demo over and over and over again on all my Amiga’s!

    Did you know that: As you watched the demo and started it again the position of the counting on the hand would switch from left to right and vice versa?

    I think I was vaguely aware of something along those lines. Can’t say I’d actually paid that much attention to it though.

  3. Drood Says:

    I remember noticing it swapping sides and being absolutely amazed.

    I may be wrong, but doesn’t the spinning block with the eye change direction as well?

  4. Terry Wilson Says:

    Drood, you are indeed correct. Dunno how the hell they did it, but it worked :D
