Fair enough. I do recognize the historical significance, I just kind of don't get the degree to which it is enshrined in the Amigan consciousness...


Did you see this demo in 1985 when it was first shown on dealer demo Amiga 1000s (just before the computer became publicly available)?

I think it might have been a case of "you had to have been there".  It certainly left a lasting impression, when we still all owned 8-bit computers.

I realise it's not impressive compared to what came later, but it's like people who were there for the original Star Wars in the 1970s....the later movies had better special effects, but this one was like nothing that had come before, so you remember it.
