Alliance Design OWNED us with this one.
Update:
This is Alliance Design (subgroup)/Quartex co-op.

Many various effects + guitar music by Moby.
Truly oldschool.

Alliance Design did do more ;) .. I won't even try to judge this subjectively since my classic-factor is so high.

Definetely one of my favourite amiga demos! The music really made this stand out from the rest when this was released. And like others have said, the rest is great too! A classic.

Somehow I have problems with this prod. Can't say if I like it or not. Maybe, it's because of the coders age. He was one year younger than me (and I was still young) and he released such a huge megapiece of work! I was so frustrated!!!

Can't believe I haven't voted for this one before. I remember the loud 'Boooh' when the these guys were given the 2nd place. But Kyd/Balle were really generations ahead when it came to design & entertainment, so Global Trash deserved the win in my book. But both of them great demos ...

Ruled when it was released, but I feel it has lost a bit of it's punchline during the years.

Impressive code, impressive music ! And impressive party release (Global Trash, Substance, Elysium, wow... That suxx I was too young for partying at that time !!)
I remember keeping the demo running only for listening the music in loop !!

Didn't really impress me long ago. I guess it came in the wake of more interesting vector demos from the year before. Even though there are lots of parts it's basically a recap of those. Even the insanely ugly vector color choices!! :D seem to have followed along, except for the endpart.

Moby's tune is outstanding and demo itself contains some really neat effects.

Hmm, wonder why this classic is still missing my thumb!
Loved it back in time and still love it! Will never forget about the Bubbles and the Soundtrack, which immediately started playing in my head once i clicked this prod! :)

It's from the last months my computing before I turned 18 and other stuff came more important, and even if I don't remember exactly this demo (although I recognized the music instantly so maybe I've seen this back then) this includes everything a Amiga demo from those days should have. Sure all the latest productions (2020+) are superb in their modern way, but demos like this is what Amiga demos are about for me.
rulez added on the 2023-09-23 14:45:01 by PDrill PDrill
Definitively one of my all time favorites.
rulezcdc added on the 2024-01-15 19:38:41 by Olympian Olympian
The music alone is enough to secure a thumbup no matter what the rest is, obvi. So how about the rest?

That first image, why is the reflected lighting on the different side from the explosion? I don't get it. Want explain plz.
Rotating flat vector credits are fine, but that low framerate vectorscroller did not age well, hah. 50fps or go home.
"special" 3d stars are OK, they get a pass.
The bubbles hold up well on account of the palette choice. Nice!
Filled vectors are atleast filled with more than crap, so OK. I still do like the mix of vectorbobs, lines and flatshaded surfaces.
That Mandelbrotish thing was about par for the time. Slightly boring nowadays.
More low framerate vectors, standard for 1991 but I curse them now, ugh.
Interactive steerable vector corridor, yay for that. This is something we mostly lost with todays compo culture.
Juggler callback is nice, except the actual Juggler demo was smooth.
Plasma colorcycle is OK I guess. By this time it was a fairly used up effect, but they did it well. Can't read a word of that scroller though.
Quartexland, meh. The high complexity is ambitous but if you can't render faster it does not age well at all. But again kudos for being interactive.
Endpart is OK, atleast I have nothing to say about it.

Now go away, I want to listen to the music again.
