Best Demos out there?

[Gojirax]

I'm a huge Graphics and Sound demo fanatic. I love em.

Ok, So I just downloaded like 100 megs worth of AGA demos from Aminet (And the old ECS classic "State of the Art" which is one of my faves... my favorite part is when you boot that demo from floppy it starts full motion video and sound within like 3 seconds.

So... the list on Aminet is overwhelming, and I remember spending time downloading demos years ago and getting 1 in 10 that weren't lame or didn't crash my system, sooooooooo...

To save some time, and get some input, what are your favorite graphic/sound demos out there?

[McVenco]

You're only too right about the State of the Art demo, and that other Spaceballs demo "Nine Fingers" was pretty cool as well.

I used to own an A500 so I'm not too familiar with AGA demos. My favourites were Desert Dream, Burning Spear and Nexus7 for both GFX and Sound.

And, I'm still a sucker for Jesus on E's :-D
I've burned it to CD and every once in a while it still kicks the living sh*t out of my car's subwoofer :lol:

I would say:

Rise by Tristar/Redsector
Relic by Nerve Axis
Anything by TBL

for starters...  There have been a few big demos released in the last few years for AGA that are quite amazing, but you pretty much need an '060 or WinUAE to get a good framerate out of them.  
I've been out of touch with the Amiga scene for a while so there may be a lot more than I'm aware of

you can learn much about demos and see how they were rated on competitions under http://kestra.exotica.org.uk/ ."

There is also a newer ECS spaceballs demo that i liked.. "hideous muntant freaks 2001" http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3880&howmanycomments=25&page=0
And this one runs on a standard a500 with 1meg of ram.

You should check A.D.A. (amiga demo archive). Lots of great titles there (including the ones mentioned here, and some PPC demos)

[Gojirax]

Wow, this gives me enough to keep me busy reading and downloading for Hours!

Thanks!!

[WOWZER]

Speaking of demos, I have been searching and collecting them since I just bought my Amiga. This might sound odd but I cant seem to find the original boing bouncing ball demo anywhere!!!

Can sombody point me in the right direction to where I can find this classic???

WOWZER

The classic Boing demo can be found here.

Some ECS demos I like are:

Technological Death
Desert Dream
Lethal Exit
242 (which for some reason doesn't work in WHDload for me)
Arte
Enigma
Day of Reckoning
CopperMaster

Some ECS non-music repeating demos I like (on Aminet):

Klide (nice fast line drawing)
Trig-numy (nice fractals)


McVenco: Nexus7 is AGA only.


[Edit: Ah hell, I just realised that Gojirax is looking to find the best AGA demos, not ECS. Oh well, I'll just leave my list in case anybody else is interested.]

Firstly Spaceballs: Simply State Of The Art is not FMV (full-motion-video) as such, but is still very cool - I have the Skid Row hacked version.


You can download other Spaceballs demo's (they have done like 25 in total) from there official website. Somthing like www.spaceballs.com, or just use google and search for:

"Spaceballs","amiga"

PS. Are there any AMOS demo's out there?

[mr_a500]

PS. Are there any AMOS demo's out there?

If you mean full demo with music, the only one I know of is the one that came with the AMCAF plugin. It's not bad for BASIC I guess, but it's nothing to write home about.

The nice non-music fractal demo "TrigNumy" I already listed was written in AMOS. I also found a couple nice plasma demos and a simple glenz written in AMOS.

check this site http://www.deadwoodinc.net/killergorilla/

there are a crapload of demos for WHDload all gathered up into some RARs (with LZXs inside them). most of them are OCS/ECS, and very few have crashed my Amiga

besides those already mentioned, I liked World Federation of Mad Hackers, Absolute Inebriation, and one of the Red Sector ones

[Gojirax]

Firstly Spaceballs: Simply State Of The Art is not FMV (full-motion-video) as such,

Well, when there's dancing and graphics moving from the top to the bottom, and the farthest left side to the farthest right side I call that full motion video. Even if it's not a broadcast television feed etc.

But thanks for the tip. Noted.

Anyway... There are a lot of pretty decent ECS demos as well (State of the Art being a prime example of that.)

In fact, there were some nice NewTek ECS demos too! Anybody got a link to those?

Thanks again!
