Demo #004 : Origin (Complex)

April 2nd, 2006

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

Origin 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.

Demo #003 : Desert Dreams (Kefrens)

March 25th, 2006

Desert Dreams Demo: Desert Dreams [H.264] [DivX]
Group: Kefrens
Released: April, 1993

Well people, you voted for it, and here it is. Nice demo weighing in at a massive 77.5MB per video stream. Quite a lengthy one so hope you enjoy it.

According to the text at the end, this was the last demo that Laxity actually did for non-AGA machines.

This demo is split into two parts, the first one tells a little (very little) story about their “Desert Dream” and the second-part is their “Ooh, ooh we’re demo-coders look what we can do” bit.

Brilliant music, not as dancy as the previous two demos, but very fitting and synchronisation to the visuals is impeccable.

Again, another one made to run on the original MC68000 7.14MHz Amiga 500.

Demo #002 : State of the Art (Spaceballs)

March 17th, 2006

Well, State of the Art won the vote (as I expected).

State of the Art Demo: State of the Art [H.264] [DivX]
Group: Spaceballs
Released: December, 1992

Spaceballs released “State of the Art” at ‘The Party’ in 1992, and from what I can gather it received quite a heavy demand, thereafter. There wasn’t much code to it, but it seems that they managed to mess up some of the “trackloader” code. This makes the demo finish just a second before it should do.

Other than that it was an excellent standard setting demo, and was apparently one of the first demos to be featured on the music channel MTV (source Amiga Demo Archive). This demo has some nice blitter chip copper goodness, that still slows down UAE quite a bit when having to deal with it.
Again, another one made to run on the original MC68000 7.14MHz Amiga 500.

Demo #001 [Repost] : 9 Fingers (Spaceballs) due to problems.

March 15th, 2006

Download this if you are unable to play the whole 2:52 of the first post of this (check the size of the video isn’t drastically below about 16.8MB), as some issues were identified

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.
