one of the demos, you have to watch if you want to feel the scene 'spirit'.
THE first demo i have seen in my life !!!
Now it's alway my favourite demo, all the effects are so cool, the music by firefox & tip is so great... damn, you MUST watch it ! and remember, it's from 1991 ! ten years !

This truely is an oldschool killer. I remember watching it 20 times in a row when it first came out. Still one of my alltime favorites.
A lot of peoples were talking about that weird TV-BOX at this time. It was just unbelievable and impossible to do !!! Here is a demo which brings one thousand good sensation given that the music and the codework are very good quality and progresses in the same way.
I loved this one. I have WinUAE only for this demo and Turrican 2 :)
yeahhhhh, one of my favourite demos ever !!!
a very good music, simple and clean design, one of the best demos ever made on Amiga 500 - a MUST see, a legendary demo !-)

these guys really had it together.. i rememer staring transfixed at the rendered scene with the moving balls, never fully believing that some guy actually wrote the code that made such graphics...
that demo really had substance.. the tv-box.. the neat vectors... the super-cool muzak..
i used to show this demo to people as an argument for amiga's superiority to any other machine that existed at the time... sweet nostalgia :)

just voting - see my opinion ^^
a true classic. I guess everyone have heard the soundtrack =)
if you haven't seen it, you've missed something..

this production is awesome. especially the tune is truly one of the greatest tracks ever. i remember watching this on my amiga 500.
"this is the old way. you will not see this again."

urg. that scene with the helicopter and the runway is a little bit boring. but only a little bit.
otherwise ok.

One of the best dmo i've seen...
Sound is very good (hard work)
Cool part with "3d in 3d", the end is so nice.

D/L it, pure Amiga stuff :))

the first demo i ever saw. if i had to choose one demo to represent the scene spirit it would be this one. the music, the logos and fonts, the "we're the best" attitude... everything in this awesome production represents the scene! Thanks Phenomena for bringing me in the the world of demos!
The music rock !
a wonderful piece of scene history - i remember getting stoned and watching this in front of the tv for the first time years and years ago - and it can still evoke the same feeling now. the music is fantastic as are the gfx !
This is the only other demo other than RSI megademo to completly encompass the oldschool scenme feel. And its got the best starfield seen to date. Also TIP the muzak is the best (have it as my winlogion muzak)
Haven't ever seen it, but the demo can't be bad enough to change my opinion about the music :)
vote !
This was one of those WAUW experiences... Still one to put on the old Amiga 500. Tip/Firefox's music is just awesome!! Both thumbs up!!
classic! this demo was incredible when it was released. one of the best amiga demos ever!
The music, yes...
oh dear, love it. simply the best!
lovelovelove! damn good :) i used to run it over and over and over... nostalgic? indeed. hehe. if you haven't seen it then you've missed a great part in the history of the demoscene. enjoy!

still one of the best.
Love the music. Have watched it long time ago. I remember the 3D part. Should watch it again to remember the dotball too..
The reason why I bought an Amiga.
Incredible 3d code for that time, and the soundtrack is one of the best the scene has ever produced.

one of these i been enjoying quite some years ago. it wasnt demo running on my a600 everyday though but still owns my thumb!
Excellent demo, and the module ownz me
The demo that changed everything
A shaky starfield in a lousy border. Ain't that something folks?
Da soundtrack 0wnZ yOu (and da code is funky too)
SuPa KeWL classic

Fantastic!
I somtimes find myself playing the soundtrack when I'm just sitting mindlessly with my guitar.. once I realise what I'm playing, I always have to dig out my a500, connect it to a TV and watch the demo.
The things you do for love....

Probably in the top five in amiga demos history!
nuff said
yes.
the spinning cube still 0wns today - but what really stands is the music, pure energy. an all time classic.
One of the three, possibly two best demos ever made. Same goes for the music.
However, the URL does not work, and points to a ZIP archive. Since when does Amiga use ZIP?

wonderful
and of course a BIG thumb up for the best demo ever made since computers exists :)
Music. Code. Feeling.
I remember I loved this at the party
Ok, with a distance of 13 years some techparts don't work on me, some scenes are way too long and I declare the rumors-part as lame.
But hey, it's a true classic and music is perfect.

Thumbs up.
when watching it today it seems quite boring, i'm sorry to say. however i remember how it knocked my socks clean off when it first was released. truly groundbreaking. so i thumbs up this piece.
THE final hyperbase
<3 was very fucking impressed when I saw this the first time! <3
\o/
oh yeah, the music.
Logo! Music!
Perfect! Best music to listen to when riding train or bus. At least it was a couple of years ago :)
nice. good music
I recall loving this demo but dreading the long vector-part... was this the start of the fly-bys? ;) Anyhow so much groundbreaking, like the tv-box, that deserves a thumb up.
winden: Can't be the start, since it wasn't first such vector part either. At least Tomsoft did it before in "Trip to Mars". And fortunately the boring flyby part can be skipped with a mouse click :)
Well, this is the BEST DEMO EVER. Period.
Yeah its definitely a good'un.
Would have loved to know the scene back then!
That prod likes me a lot. 1991!

broderick: hehe, this was my very first demo on my brand new A500...
oh, btw...
ok
Great classic from sweden.
Legendary...
What everybody else said... Especially the music rocks, one of the best oldskool amiga demo soundtracks around...
Very good prod. Great music...
Everything has already been said.
Simply thumbs up
Great one.
Probably the first demo I've ever seen (and surely the first Amiga demo I've seen). I think I still have a disc with it somewhere. :)
super beau !
Real Classic :) One of the Best :)
:.)
classic time!
excellent music+demo
This is megacool.

probably my favourite amiga demo of all times. Too many great memories....
:))
I would like to be in the party when this was released. I can't imagine how was a party in 1991! At that time I was 6!
AZATOTH THE MIGHTY GOD!
Iz niiice!
Now this is hardcore elite stuff. The music is just the best ever.
Up for the great piece of history...
4 sure this is a legenendary AMiGA demonstration. ther4 this is the chillin´ place ..... track/dos- load DEMO or DiE ;D
thumb:)
the music is the best thing but the rest is also phenomenal :-)
mfx were 4years too late; i'm staying right here ;)
(probably my favourite track on amiga)

imho this is one of the most overrated demos ever, the vectorworld (which is the main effect) is fucking slow...
the gfx were very nice
and also the song is one of my favs

oh and i forgot, the vectorworld is not only slow, but also boring
I also think that the vectorworld is boring and too long. Everything else rules!
A true masterpiece and a huge step forward for the whole demoscene. Simply unforgettable.
Enigma!
My fave OCS demo
Thanx for that production, it was beed added to: modcast.de, the Amiga-Modfile Podcast and Radio-Stream resource.
I remember this back in 1991...what an amazing demo!!!...in Portugal ,we were so few and amazed so many!!! the amiga sceners really had great time...even now 15 years later, is still one of the best demos ever made! only 195-5 by plastic...made alive some of the felling of that time...but make no mistakes....this demo represents the era of that time.....memories of the past scene...bbs...irc...cracks or intros of warez...now it is all old school.....shame....
This will never be oldschool it's just now a "classic". This one was just revolutionary in its time.
The music is quite good and raytraycing seems nice, but otherwise boring. Awful 3d fly-by.
Great flight, great tune, so here is my thumb!
my always fav. back in 91!
good 3d routs and nice music
Great! Nice swedish pomusic!
the music!!
i disliked the direction
Great tune, some nice routines but extremely boring. Still thumb up considering the time it was made.
Classixx evergreen THXXX
My all-time favorite.
Rulez forever!

Classic and great amiga demo :)
Nice music (sounds like '80s pop), and the classic scene with the raytraced animation.
Some of the best music ever in a demo I think. A real classic!
This Demo and Silents -Ice- have been the most seen demos on my amiga. Simply a classic and nostalgic feelings about this. Damn - haven´t thought a few years about this one.
Pretty cool stuff, some nice effects... The soundtrack is also pretty nice.
rules eternally
makes me cry
wtf, why I didn't comment this fantastic demo?!
maybe my next cdc <333 and one of my favorites tracks

Rubbish. No hang on, that other word... Brilliant.
Great, amazing, hands down.
Just booted. Still ruling :D \o/ DANCE.

This is the single best demo of all time.
Loved the TV cube! Rulez!
the best soundtrack ever....
Can't believe I didn't thumb this all time classic yet.
I wish we still had melodic demomusic
Quote:
remember, it's from 1991 ! ten years !
almost twenty years! Also, pouet is almost ten!
I second Shazz, amazing sound work for it's time.
Elite!
Absolute classic. Great tune! Sums up the demoscene nicely at the time.
No thumb from me yet? Correcting that
still dream of that raytrace-anim from time to time ! ( being a coder i dream of i did that back then ofcoz, haha )
Classic one, with the fantastic music ! Even if nowadays it's a boring one with the long 3d trip, it's Amiga scene history...
One of the unforgettable
Really good
starfield in a box... OMG it's rotating
A must see! The music is awesome.
AMIGAAAAA!
really cool stuff. I love the music!
An amiga classic!

Tummen upp
180% awesomeness.
For the music.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
Phenomenal.
Music does the job! :D Classic!
First demo I ever watched! Nice memories :)
Phenomenal soundtrack
legendary music. still great.
First demo I watched live on real hw.
(_O o)
Late Thumb up.
Enigmatic!
Enigmatic!
Quality time. Loved the pic from the loader and pretty much everything else.
Seen this plenty of times!
If i had 1 USD for every time i watched this back in the 90's, I probably could have help kept Commodore afloat.
Possibly one of the first Amiga demos i had seen and one of my fav ever. Big late thumb up and another not really needed Youtube link.

classics time
Amiga 500 = Enigma
Enigma is a phenomenal demo :)
Nice 3D engine of it's time and nice music.
Cool! :)
memories!
Totally demo scene
Raytracing
No comment needed!
Azatoth + FFX + Uno, the dream team!
Love
This is one of the first demos I've seen and it's probably my favourite. The music was awesome and the 3D graphics were revolutionary for their time. Although it hasn't aged very well, it is mind-blowing when you consider that the Amiga 500 only had 512 kb of RAM and a 7 MHz processor.
A real classic. Loved the music and was stunned by the vector-world back then. A day on memory lane...
yep
Yup. This is the best Amiga demo I've ever seen.
Horrible pace, but otherwise a classic and still a kick-ass tune.
So good. Legendary tune!
Phenomenal phenomena enigma demo!
With a star wars scroll!

Phenomenal and enigmatic! I met Firefox in Stockholm in 2012, it was a blast meeting him after having known his music for so many years!
@SunSpire sweet! So did he say when Phenomena's next prod would be released? ;)
The raytraced fractal and the soundtrack would be enough to earn a "rulez", but there are so many more amazing moments in this demo. My only minor complaint is that the "trip to mars" section runs a little too long imho - but with soo many good things happening, I better stop complaining. :)
Okish for me back then, okish now.
Can't believe I had not given this a thumb already... :-P
Better late than never :)
I love this demo. Best openingstune EVER! :)
oldskool!
i was never a big fan of the demo... the effects did impress me very much....
so the demo gets its thumb for the music which is really cool...

I love the TV-box! The raytraced fractal is a beauty.
The music and the effects are great. One of the OCS demos which impressed me very much and was a guide for me coding similar effects.
Hugely inspirational.
Superclassic
All time Amiga classic ! The music is great !
Best soundtrack EVER!!!
This demo was one of first I ever saw, if not the very first one, this and later second reality from FC formed my expectations for many years, of what a demo should do. And about "that scene with the helicopter and the runway is a little bit boring" from above comment - not in 1991, in 1991 when watching it as kid it was jaw-dropping just because it was realtime 3D, not wireframe, and had music with it. Also the tension, what comes next... And just enough pause to catch the breath.
just watched it today.... such a classic...
i was in ST scene at that time but the MOD file I was listening on a sound tracker over speakers.
the raytracing is a classic... and the VecCity rules. where are those years? :D

among the best songs, ever !
I personally think this demo contains the best demo soundtrack ever! :) Also the effects are well done, so this is one of the best demos ever made.
not excited but like it
nice 3D world
nice 3D world
Over 200 votes and not a single thumb down, even fools respect it.
Legendary. The best scene music around at the time and for some years to come.
true legend
THE MUSIC
that tune
A fucking masterpiece! Also what prm said. The music is utterly kewl.
just rewatched this old goodie on a "futuristic" FPGA re-implementation of the Amiga 500. Runs perfectly, double thumbs up ! (literally..)
Great soundtrack ! Typical 1990' demo tune
Gorgeous raytracing part.
Gorgeous raytracing part.
Very cool!
The soundtrack of my youth. Also, Phenomenal Phenomena.

...had to burst out laughing while reading that. Nice to imagine. But
why not? The music is great; though I have listened to it a way too
often.
I like the opening with the 3D stars and the plain blue text and the
very special vector cube that follows.
The 3D world was a "never seen before" and impressive part for me,
too. Also, the raytracing is neat. And the starwars scroller looks much
better than I remembered.
Yeah, what a nice demo :-)

I never thumbed this?!
@ROG_VF: »The 3D world was a "never seen before"« ...
TomSoft did something like this in »A Trip To Mars« the year before.

Information acknowleged and appreciated. I did not know this demo.
Actually, I missed all of Thomas Landspurg's releases back in the days.
Do not ask how this could happened.

commenting here again to say that the raytracer scene is so classic.
Hall of fame -ass stuff
Windmills on Mars.
It's just a classic!
A milestone of the golden era of the Amiga 500 - one of my all time favorites demos.
Probably first demo I have ever watched.
One of my all time fav demos!
