excellent music and graphics, plus a surprising endpart. the rythm at the roller-coaster part is really cool :)

i really used to love the maintune by chromag (the endtune ist just a prodigy-ripoff squeezed into 4 channels). it's sooo amigaoldschool, great stuff :).
Great demo, great music (the maintune is indeed excellent), great gfx. Really nice oldskool atmosphere!
Classic demo.
Great music + gfx.

rulez
soooo excellent music...
Haha! This is truly a impressive one. =D
yes
Great classic.
great but i think the endpart is kindof more a crowdpleaser altho i love it (i mean its an animation with "ripped" music...)
Rebels quality.
great.
kris' gfx great. also nice demo.
Rumours were spread that some routines were told to be stolen from Dr. Skull but I am not sure about that.
I perfectly recall how angry the guys from Haujobb were after the compo because their demo didn't win! The roller coaster part and music was awesome!

Im pretty sure the routines where stolen as they are nearly simimilar looking to some virtual dreams demo called breathtaker (if i remember right) ...
anyways the endpart anim and music (prodigy remix) was really nice stuff and a good idea ;s

Ah, Zulu&Grey, the code rippers. My personal theory is that they bought Virtual Dreams' code and used it in lots of their own productions :)
No thumb down because of the prodigy/rollercoaster part.

Apparently the end tune is RIPPED from the famous British rock band who call themselves The Prodigy!! Thought you could get away from the long arm of the lawyer scene eh? THUMB DOWN!!
I remember to have listened to the lovely music times before but never watched this demo till today (on youtube :P). Some nice effects there and a great (anim I guess) rollercoaster scene. I don't care if the music is ripped, fits preety well with the scene. I also like the strange syncs with flipping images at the beginning, the juhlia and the end.
loaderror, you arent being serious are you? :) .. I dont believe Chromag ever hid the fact that song was from Prodigy!
hehe... loaderror=sherlock holmes.
I wonder what comment I prefer, the one from Loaderror or the one from Chromag :)))
a classic <3
Back than I didnt have an a1200 untill summer 1996 so i never saw it untill it was as .avi some time ago. Now I can finally thump it up.
btw, loaderror, talking about the prodigy, watch senzala bij madwizards.. :))

ther first part is a real pleasure to watch, the rollercoaster part made me speechless.. so now it is an animation? howerver really nice demo..
I really like the music, the demo has nice effects, altough most of them was not original.
true legend, cool ripped music it fits perfectly with the rollercoaster scene.
First effect after the logo is very similar to VD's Chaosland. Anyway, great demo, I was blown away by the coaster back in the day. Now, not so much ;)
Has anyone had luck running this in UAE? Mine is very slow..

OMGWTF! ripped teh tune! ;))
Great Demo with a great Soundtrack!
I´m SURE the prodigy ripped it from chromag! not the other way around!

Classic and I love Chromags tune (no, I do not mean the Prodigy-one ;))
Inside the group we didn't know if Zulu&Grey bought the sourcecodes but the similarities were really suspicious :)
great effects, nice music!
First tune is proness
Meeh. It's cheezy...
I remind the organizer of Rebels jumping around in front of the stage during the compo when the demo was shown, screaming: "Yes...Yes...Räääbääääls...Yeeeees". Our thoughts back then were something like: "Nice demo. But their organizer is a lunatic.". :D
Raven: Yes, I remember that, too! He did they same at the Party, when Whammer Slammer was released, which wasn't so groundbreaking, either :)
Well. At least he was good at "marketing". I surely won't ever forget that demo and compo because of him! :D What was his handle again?

Ugh. Too much looping. So piggie.
First demo I have ever seen.
Chromag your music is superb!

I met Grey at The party 97, and asked him about the incident about this demo and Whammer slammer. He just smiled and answered: "I don't code, I just buy...." Priceless ;)
Excellent!
A true killer demo!
Chromag music rocks!!

Simply amazing...
Great demo !
Music and gfx are fantastic, as for code i especially enjoyed the julia and sync. Well done!
In my life it's for Voodoo people that i pumped up the volume the most! :D A W E S O M E!

Love it!!!
Another youtube is notified in BBS ... Enjoy it!

Wherever the sources came from, this is one hell of a demo! Top-class graphics and music, and it needs talent to make it all work together like this.
Music and visuals roxxx hard! Nice demo!
Solid production
Terrific demo. The music is great!
still rules after all these years!!
Classic demo. Great music!
Rollercoaster :)
Pretty shitty soundtrack, but better than almost all of its peers in the genre. Classic amiga effects, design and graphics save this though, easily.
So old, so good!
Where was my thumb?
nice
Another gem i have forgotten to thumb up
Definitely not bad, but I can't help but feel it's a bit overrated.
Never ceases to amaze me how noby rates everything like it was made the day noby rates it. Why didn't 100m sprinters ran the world record already in 1908, or earlier. Here thumb up, but very often thumb down for totally retarded reasons.
Zulu & Grey - we buy it!
Amazing production! Great music and effects.
The music and code is great!
Young loaderror in the lost password account is being ironic indeed. He actually likes this demo. Now old and serious loaderror will thumb up
Great pixels and music. Overall a very cool early, oldschool AGA demo. So oldschool that the endpart crashed my 060 ;)
One of my all time favorites!
I absolutely adore that main tune <3
OS friendly loading routines too: I remember running this off an NFS share on my A1200 back in the days.
