The tekkno-part is something that brings back a lot of memories. Wicked music there, not to mention the psychedelic gfx you should stare at in the dark.

Looking back, the techno part music is really not that good :). Can't stand that "honk" lead! Breeze was obviously much better at non-techno, as proven by the rest of the demo (ariba!).

Still, it's a classic. Try it with GUSemu.

Yep, a great demo, I even find the tekkno-part's music good! :) Has some weird transisions between effects though... The voxel-landscape rocks, and when it turns into a Finnish flag, I almost want to change nationality hehe...

one word. fire effect.
oops. two words. close, but doesn't rule without..

Somebody please explain to me why this demo, although without having something extraordinary, was always fun to watch. Maybe it's the music. I dunno :-)

Amazing music (available at Demodulate) :o)

The voxel -> Finish flag was the neatest effect.

I'm listning to Earth Mountians as I write this.
Definatly worth dusting off the ol' 486 to watch if you havn't already.

As a ASM 94 visitor I remember that they didn't showed the demo completly because they probably thought that the techno part at the beginning was the only content ...SUCKED!

If you don't have a GUS you drink it. Finally I managed to watch it for the first time with GUSemu32! Some very nice effects..

I became almost blind after watching the techno-part ten times in a row but that's a nice demo :)

Great demo !

I discovered this beauty in the BBS-files on my GUS CD...
GUS-only (ofcourse), and very nice high-paced effects... Good code, and cool music aswell, although rather unorthodox in the second part :)

I watched it again in my 486 with my new GUS. The voxel part kick ass!!!

Today I blew my mind off, once again. ;)
Everytime I watch this demo I really enjoy the warning. ;)
The software voxel-landscape just blews me off again and again. \\o/

Oh, I remember this one... :)

And you dare to not thumb this up. ;)

Anyway, I'm _sure_ I've seen it (heck, I even have the damn ASM '94 CD-ROM), but really, can't remember anything about it... :/

I just realised, the sewerzoomer part (I think) music is actually heavily influenced by Ironmaiden Master of pupets.

All I have to say is: 13 minutes!

I can't really explain, but this was my favourite demo in the 486-times. Maybe because other PC demos does not have style that time.

Thanks to solo2 and the screenshot, i remember seeing this quite a long time ago and liking it.

I remember this being really refreshing, I also like the music.

Not bad, but not good either, at least for someone who first watched it in the 21st century :)

Loved this back in the day, it was my next favorite after Second Reality. Nice variety of stuff, particularly in the music, more than just techno.

First part has joke level music.. ok, horrible tunes all around.
Typical for that time PC productions.
Horror. Only good part was the voxel with double height blend (?)

Couple decent effects but just tasteless otherwise.

How do they make so smooth voxelscape? Interpolate gouraud on columns in 1d? Nearby columns? Mars also has this smooth shading and it's rather impressive it even runs on 486 or slowly on 386. And then watching those waves and flag, my jaw drops everytime. There are few effects on PC demoscene that are still legends (like also the Stars/Nooon voxel tunnel).

some nice parts in there
Shame this wasn't shown completely on the compo as I read now in the nfo file. If you see only the 3 minutes techno part with subpar music it sucks. But some parts later and especially the killer voxel would elevate it. Maybe it could have come 3rd or 4th.
