Thanks to Commodore, Jay Miner's spirit has been preserved also through the Amiga.

RIP Jay Miner

Very good although somewhat repetitive in the end. Excellent music.

Why so less "up" votes for this very good prod?

The first newschool Atari 8-bit demo I saw, of course it rocks!

The tune perfectly fits the fast visuals. Anyone who does not have a Pokey chip to listen to should go and get one ;-).

PS: The ATR-file is 16k - sometimes that makes me think how...

Best Atari XE/XL demo ever

Chessboards, colorful plasmas and filled vectors - what more could you want?
OK, some perspective projection on the vectors perhaps, but other than that a very, very nice little demo!

Is there any way to get this to run properly on NTSC? :/

This is one of my favorite demos (why it named intro here?) for XL/XE. Somewhat simple, but there is some magic in the chessboard. And the effects are all smooth and fast, that's great.
rulez added on the 2009-07-19 14:39:31 by Shiru Shiru
OMG never thumbed this one?

Yeah yeah, gets repetitive after a while, but goddamn this ROCKS so hard it hurts. Besides, the driving soundtrack by X-Ray doesn't let you get boring (as well as the fx having good variations).

Great code by Fox and awesome music by X-Ray :)

Chessboards, and 3d objects. What could possibly go wrong?

One effect demo. Good one. But the music... Gosh..
Atari simply SUXX with its lame Pokey (with only few exceptions...).
Rulez for everything but music (sorry, XRay).
