Indeed.  I think there was a thread about it on here a while back.  (Might have been in one of the general discussion areas or got lost in the board-upgrade-malfunction nightmare.)  

Anyhow, it's great demo.  I pretty much smiled the whole way through.  (That is, the time it didn't crash out about 20 seconds in -- bit buggy, it is...)

It's worth the risk though.  Check it out, if you haven't already.

I'll offer some (more constructive) critiscm even if Bonker's doesn't want to elaborate- the demo, while being entertaining to watch, doesn't offer that much in the way of programming trickery. It's merely a 3D Studio Max animation that is ran through a player (Although, maybe they engineered the player. I don't know). I think this could be a sign of the times though.


Well, surely, the demo is no technological masterpiece like the demos of old.  But, that said, no one says a modern demos HAVE to be highly technical, anymore.  The newer branching of catagories in demos are starting to show this fact.  I mean, there are still new demos for the old machines, and new 64k demos for modern platforms...  These catagories satisfy the more "purist" people.

But this was basically just a very good demo of the style it is....  An artistic/story.  Kind of a fun little journey through the changing times, complete with a catchy little musical score.  

On technical merits alone, it's a no-show, but the simple right-brain response is that I like it anyway.  :-)
