    I've watched it now and the vector/3D routines DC mentioned are definitely impressive running on A500 hardware.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    If I'm right, Sanity was the first group of achieving the task to display 144 vectors at one time on the screen. Before everyone was only getting to about 120 without slowdowns. That's how to exhaust the features of the blitter.

    Well I failed to deliver yet again.
    Have started looking through stuff downloaded recently today though.
    Couldn't bring myself to switch off the Badger demo.
    So hypnotic, especially with the sound coming out of my midi.
    Made using Hollywood.
    Keep meaning to look into that as I have heard some good things.

    I remember a demo called "Jesus on E's" or something like that. It was pretty cool at the time. Runs on two disks and quite good on an A500.

    My favourite demo was a one that had a rave song on it and some awesome graphical stuff, it was the tune that was awesome though cant remember wat the demo was called though but i think the song was called all night ive mentioned this before so im resigned to never seeing it again now real shame too i loved the image of a cartoon dog that flashed up occasionally too.

    Jesus on E's was a very popular demo at the time and was probably the best known demo outside of the main demo scene. Everyone I knew had seen it, even those that would normally only ever play games on their Amiga's and never demos.

    For me, although I remember thinking it was quite impressive at the time, I personally thought it got a bit boring as it was too long and dragged on.

    Jesus on Es, Desert Dreams, Oddysey, 9 Fingers, Maximum OverdriveII are some of my favourites.
    Seem to remember liking Dataworld 1 + 2.
    Try to find them recently to have another look but can only find copies in loads of little packages, due to the size.
    I'm sure I had at least one of them on a cover CD in one archive.
    Will keep looking.
