Enigma by Phenomena on my Amiga 500 Plus.

I used to watch that over and over and over again.  :-D

I don't like "das produkt". It's simply boring. The object and texture compression is excellent, but it's dead boring. I'm tired of "fly around my 3D environment" demos/intros... on peecee I prefer demos like 7 Heaven... it's not so compressed, but it's not as boring. Yeah I know that "Das produkt" fits in 64Kbytes but I don't like it. All my respect to the programmers, but the design should improve a lot.

>Red-Sector megademo was pretty cool.


Actually the RSI megademo is one of the most overrated products ever. It was crap in '89 (if I remember correctly), and it is crap now. There are some things in it which were ok back then, but overall it's a real downer.

Andromeda's Nexus7 on a stock 1200 was a big event for me.

Best demo:
Hardwired by The Silents and Crionics.

Followed by tons of fab stuff: Budbrain, Wild copper, Planet Potion, a LOT of Ephidrena stuff, Gift/Potion, Desert dream, Captured Dreams/TBL, Static Chaos/The Silents, Nature intros like Grid2 and Zeon, and the list goes on and on...

BY THE WAY, WHY DONtT YOU ALL VOTE ON MY WEBSITE! Then we can finally decide on which is the best demo/intro/slideshow/musicdisk,... ever released.

Top of the list probably cause it may have been the first demo i had seen on Amiga is the mighty Enigma by Phenomena.

State Of The Art (WOW!)
Sanity Arte (a non AGA demo that looked better than some AGA productions at the time)
Desert Dreams (WOW!)
Hardwired
Substance by Quartet (An oldie but it had that WOW factor for me, more so in the music)
Deathtrial by Mankind (The first PPC demo that very much impressed me)

Classic demos (A500/Plain A1200):
Desert Dream (Kefrens), my all-time favourite
SOTA (spb)
9 Fingers (spb)
Budbrain Megademo - the first demo I saw, got me interested in the scene
Nexus 7 (Andromeda, A1200)
Baygone (Melon Dezign)

Newschool demos (A1200/fastmem or CPU upgrade):
Storm (can't remember the group's name) - blew me away with the morphing 1x1 landscape on 030/50
Captured Dreams (TBL)
Pulse (NVX)
Relic (NVX)
Little Nell (TBL) - the music by TCG is awesome
Hotstyle Takeover (Loonies)
The Castle (Loonies) - mindblowing 64k intro
Faktory (FLT/Virtual Dreams)

PC Demos:
2nd Reality (err, embarrasing, can't remember the group's name)
Jizz, Stash (TBL)
32 degrees in the shade (Yodel) - my new favourite

How fast should "Dolphin's Dream" run on
060/66? I'm getting 6.7 fps with the
"dd.exe" executable, should it be faster?
Definatetly a stunning demo btw, especially
for 64k.

i dont know what exe you run , but the very first versions was slow indeed and its still slow, why we used 2x2 in mental , i get about 12.7 fps in dd afaik , is been a while since i bothered really , but that is in rtg on mediator with 060/66 and i tried it on 80mzh also  , anyway
best tip is to clock it down to 60/62 mhz for best mem performance.
(download the latest versions and try it, but dont expect it to fly ...)


a last thingy is , there might be a ppc version of it in the long run but i wont promise it atm since amiga future aint looking too bright atm.

beyond that , yes a mental ppc version also might come...

and yes our games will be ppc also if amiga future gets brighter (os4 must come....thats all i want...for a1/classics..)

cheers.

I must say i really enjoyed the spaceballs: 9fingers and state of the art. Amazing that this ran on an amiga500, with 7mhz cpu! And so smooth it ran  :-)

And yeah, desert dreams!
