I’ve spent some time creating a new theme for the site.  Didn’t like the old fixed-width one I had before.  On screens bigger than 1024 wide it looked really appauling (too much waste).  So I did this variable width theme, and added just a splash of “Amiga-ness” about it too.

Let me know what you think of the new theme either as a comment to this post, or preferably in the forums.  Cheers

From scouting round the various forums that my site is mentioned, there has been quite a few people hoping for a “Game Intro” podcast.

Seeing as my host (Servage) has kindly tripled my disk space and added an extra 50GB onto my monthly bandwidth I thought this would be an apt time to begin the Game Intro Podcast for all those people who desire such a thing.

I will be making a completely separate feed available, so that the Games/Demos can remain separate…watch this space.

Demo: Hardwired [H.264] [DivX]
Group: Crionics/Silents
Released: December, 1991

I remember when I first saw this demo and thought “Oooh! Video!”.

Has some nice effects, and a very dark soundtrack.

Hope you enjoy this one was a right bugger to capture, had to whip out my A600 and actually run it off floppy disks because it was complaining a bit on the A1200 (didn’t look pretty). It weighs it at a nice 61MB too!

Still at least it’s free of glitches and errors.

Another classic made for the original Amiga 500 computer.

Been having a few issues with the capturing of the video (got to redo it).

So it has been delayed for 24 hours. Sorry

A lot of people wanted to see some of the other demos that didn’t win the previous votes, so I thought I would put some of the more noticeable losers from the previous votes in to this weeks vote.

Also, I’m thinking of doing a vote where users can add their own demo to vote for, let me know what you’d think to that (via the comments to this post).

Sorry for the delay, had a couple of hectic days.

Demo: Origin [H.264] [DivX]
Group: Complex
Released: December, 1993

This was I believe the first “proper demo” that was released for the A1200/4000 and the AGA chipset. It was definitely the first AGA demo I saw.

It won when released at “The Party 93″, and whilst it didn’t exactly contain anything special it did go to show what could be done with the new, more powerful, Amigas.
