Hmmm... It's not too hard to push the custom hardware... Most the the demo scene stuff I've seen seem to be using clever code to ge the CPU to perform well...

Slightly off topic, but check out the batman demo for the Amstrad CPC and then pick your jaws up off the floor
I've just seen it, and I'm still not sure a CPC can do it!!! :-D

Me neither , Though I have always manintained the CPC was the best of the 8bit computers, I keep meaning to download it and try it on the actual hardware I own., it'sbeen around a few months.
 
I could see it running on an emulator sped up, but they reckon runds on standard hardware
Ok, they do need one of the later models of CPC so I guess it is less impossible ;) hehehe

What this does show is how much the Amiga was an evolution of the previous generation of computers rather than a revolution :-/

Just watched the Amiga demo... And order returns to the universe, that is better than the CPC demo, as one would expect :) only difference is that I can see how they did all the effects on this one :)
