• 64k Amiga PPC/RTG Planet Potion by Potion
• 64k border DOES have to do with that.
  They can't optimize all code for speed.
  Small code is usually slow code.
  If you know ASM, you know exactly what I mean.
  These people crammed a LOT of stuff in 64k, so I assume they didn't have enough room to unroll and speed-optimize all their code.
  
  And get a clue about how slow a 200 MHz 603e and a Permedia2 really is.

• By the way, the DivX were recorded from the following machine:
  
  A1200 with Blizzard PPC 603e @ 200, 68040 @ 30 (yes overclocked:-)
  
  So it's quite a bit slower than the compo machine (A4000 with PPC 604e @233MHz and 68060 @ 50)

• Don't overestimate a PermediaII.
  It's a REALLY slow card. Slower than a Voodoo 1.
  And a 233 MHz PPC is not all that much when you have to do T&L and music synthesis, and all that in 64k too.
  
  I don't think a 266 MHz PC would be able to drive the synth of fr-08 alone :) (I know it ran like crap on my PII 400 with a G450 :)
  So any polycount at all would be welcome :)
  
  I say this intro remains technically stunning until someone proves otherwise with a better intro.

• 64k Amiga PPC/RTG Planet Potion by Potion
• Better quality movie of this demo:

  And one with alternative soundtrack:

  Recorded by Zer0-X from a projector screen, much better than the earlier CRT recording (also by Zer0-X, despite other rumours I read :).
  
  Enjoy :)

• bhead, look closer. They aren't flat white cubes. They're cubes with radiosity :)

• 64k Amiga PPC/RTG Planet Potion by Potion
• Why port it to PC?
  It will lose all its magic then (it's impressive mainly because it's on Amiga. On a PC, the 3d would not be impressive etc).
  It might not even fit in 64k then either.
  
  I think it should be left as-is.
  Although a better DivX recording is welcome ofcourse :)

• demo Amiga AGA Little Nell by The Black Lotus [web]
• What can I say about this prod...
  Good music, good effects, good code.
  Worthy successor to Perfect Circle.
  
  Thumbs up and respect

• Yes, it looks like those old shaky software demos without subpixel/subtexel correction.
  Never seen that with hardware, except in Incoming Future.
  I guess they are doing their own T&L, and their accuracy is not sufficient for this resolution.
  
  But other than that it's a very original demo, and enjoyable to watch.
  
  Thumbs up here :)
