I got an a3k@040/25MHz what are some cool demos?

spit 'em out yall. I got my kb interface rollin and I want to see this thing rock. What's your favorite?

I think "Revelations" by Cryptoburners is a particularly bad-ass slideshow, amazing it runs on an A500. If you have a gfx board, "The Castle" by loonies should run on your A3K, and would definitely make use of that '040. (It's kind of tough to find OCS demos that requires extra horsepower beyond 68000, and not a whole lot of 68k+gfx stuff. Regardess, there is _ton_ of good OCS material IMHO.)

Also... in case you haven't checked it out, the Amiga Demoscene Archive is a fantastic resource for finding good demos... nice thing is you can filter by chipset. Seems there are a couple of relatively new ECS demos that look promising.

Most ECS demos run on 68000/68020. You could try out Arte, Roots2.0 or modern A500 demos like Major Release by Da Jormas.

If you can make it work Batman Vuelve by Batman Group is also very nice, Melon dezign are simple but nice, check out modern OCS/ECS demos released at the latest Breakpoints (by Mods Plateau I think).

You'll need a gfx card to see demos meant for anything other than an A500. There just arent that many ECS demo's that needed accelerators.

There are two very cool demos by spaceballs that benefit from an accelerator (but run ok without) :

Psycho Killer

and

Hideous Mutant Freaks

A friend of mine had a nice demo on his hard disk with smooth textured filled tunnels on his 030/25 A3000 without gfx board unfortunately I forgot the name. I saw it in year 2000 but the demo was probably older.
