The C64 demo didn't do much for me.  By all means, nice colours and design, but displaying animations never impressed me much.

Risen from oblivion, on the other hand, is quite impressive.  AFAIK, it's one of the very few demos that actually use the full 64K VDC expansion on my C128.  I seem to recall that this demo also utilizes the 2MHz mode quite cleverly.

I have ridiculous amounts of respect for the C64/C128 coders active today.
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

My thought, as well.  I think it would, as I did not see anything special in use other than the hard drive-like interface used for storage.  The 128D has a 64k VDC, so I would give it a go.


That's affirmative.  A 128D should run this demo without problems, "flat" 128's needs the extra VDC memory.
