im sure most of you have already seen this but I thought it was really neat.
I wonder if the two young girls in the video realized they were making computer history LOL wonder what they are doing now, probally telling there kids, you know your mom helped her geek friends out with this thing called they kept calling a "DEMO" once back in the day hahahaha

I liked the one finger demo version as a reply to 9 fingers. The guy dancing around with a mob on his head I always thought was a nice touch ;)
Seriously though, I always loved some of the stuff brought out from the Amiga demo scene and is something I miss seeing on more recent reincarnations of the platform. They used to manage to really push the hardware and create some fantastic demostrations.

Hard to believe living in the age of camera phones, final cut and hd video that that was something really special. But it was, it was amazing back then. PC and Mac users weren't producing better video until after the turn of the century...

Nice vid. I thought the short haired girl was a boy until the clothes came off though ;)
Really miss cracking coders doing amazing shit with current hardware. Don´t have a PC to watch what´s happening there. But the PS3 demos obviously did not have full hw access.

+1.. it was 17 years ago this was released, folks have to put it into context for the time period. I still play this demo for visitors on my classic hardware, since most have no idea about the Amiga. I attempt to explain the state of Mac's and PC's at the time this demo was created which was no doubt impressive at the time.
great music and still a blast to watch today!

242 from virtual dreams have hundred of megabytes video packed (pixelated of course) at just one disk, the amiga was very superior to pc at this times, macs was useless.

actually.. I know the coder of One Finger fairly well and he has just assured me that it was not a mob, but his real hair ;)
he says hi, btw. And here's a link:

You know, the guys dancing probably only agreed to it on the express understanding that nobody else would ever see the original footage and instead they'd be immortalized in what has to be one of the most impressive amiga demos (I can remember watching that on repeat!).
Then youtube comes along...
