You can download Mind Candy 2 for free now since it sold out.  Not exactly the same thing since this is a dual layer DVD video of Amiga demos.  Lots of cool demos included.  This plays on your DVD player or fast enough computer.

http://www.mindcandydvd.com/2/frames?p=info

Special Features:
Audio commentary
 Each demo has an audio track discussing the demo, from either the original  demo creators, other fans and experts, or ourselves.
 Subtitles
 By popular demand from our non-native-English-speaking friends, the commentary is now accompanied by subtitles, in no fewer than three languages: English, French, and  German.
 Original and 5.1 channel soundtracks
 All demos feature both the original stereo soundtrack, captured straight from Amiga hardware, and a surround sound track, rebuilt from the audio samples contained within the demo music files.
 12-page full color booklet
 Once again the package contains a large booklet, with info on every demo,  along with a timeline of Amiga demos, credits, and various other tidbits of information.
 Production notes
 Volume 2's production notes go beyond the first, with a full audio track,  photos, and in-progress screenshots and animations.  No enthusiast (read: geek ;) ) stone is left unturned, as we share just how much a pain reviving old hardware can be.
 New playback modes
 For fun, we've added two new playback modes - shuffle, which plays demos back randomly - every time you put in the disc - and jukebox, which allows you to play up to a dozen demos in the order you want.  We used a few tricks to get them working on all DVD players, but isn't that what demo coding is all about?
 Animated menus
 In addition to the "multi-demo" select screens, now the main menus get some new animation.  Prepare for the unexpected!

Note: Mind Candy 1 and 3 are still commercial and contain PC demos.
