I have to be honest, I wasn't that impressed with this demo. The music was not exactly exciting IMO, and although it's probably very impressive that all the code for the video was less than 200k, I though the video itself was pretty dull. Also, as others have pointed out, it unpacked for ages before running, so it's not actually 180k...

Let me make it clear that I'm *not* opposed to non-Amiga/C64 demos. In fact I'm not really in to the demo scene at all, so would be impressed by a demo on any platform which had exciting and/or original graphics and music. But consider that this demo had a 1GB OS with a complex graphics API to help it, and those high requirements... I think it could have been a lot better.

I was much more impressed with Starstruck...
