I'm not able to see the Windows demo, but the Desert Dream remake was jawdropping.

Remind me never to challenge a C64 coder.

I just saw the video capture of the demo, which can be found here:

Well, what can I say.  Don't think I'll be watching it again.  Don't get me wrong, it was quite amusing to watch, lots of eyecandy - like a music video.  But as a coder, it didn't inspire me.  Come to think of it, 3D demos never did.

I know, the hardware market dictates it, and the PC contains too many variables to blow any limits, but still.  This is why I'm sticking to the Amiga scene.

also "Amiga scene is better than PC scene" blady blah blah! So boring. They are worlds apart. I love the Amiga scene because it requires that coders MUST understand their system and routines at a low level.


Exactly.  That's why I, as a coder, find the PC demoscene boring, and I've been on the scene since around 1988.  The PC scene has been boring for many years, and I don't bother following it.

Now it's time for me to apologize.  It was not my intentions to ruin this thread with my {bleep}in' and whining :)
