• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Hologon by The Electronic Knights
• Yet another excellent OCS production.
  
  What a kick-ass chipset.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Enchanted Glitch by Cosmic Orbs [web]
• Absolutely excellent.
  
  I love how OCS demos keep blowing the doors off of AGA productions. And since OCS/ECS makes much more use of the custom chips, it makes me all that more proud of the Amiga hardware design.
  
  The hardware guys said they made the original Amiga as open-ended and flexible as possible so that coders would have the freedom to attack problems from many different angles. It certainly shows.
  
  I'd love to know more about the technical details and process involved in creating the various sequences in this demo.
  
  I suppose I should mention that the music is amazing too.
  
  If you get a chance to hear the talks by Joe Decuir and Ron Nicholson on YT, be sure to check them out. Joe's the last person alive with Jay Miner's Amiga knowledge still in his brain. So if he gives another talk and you plan to attend, compile technical questions for him before you go. You'll be glad you did.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS 3D Demo 3: The Last Drop by Lemon.
• Excellent OCS production and very professionally done. It even includes finishing touches like user-interactive components, smooth drive DMA -- and it checks for additional diskette drives. Bravo!
  
  After seeing the 120-edge 62-sided polygon on screen (complete with mouse control), I'm thinking that you might actually be able to do the following...
  
  There's a guy out there saying that the original Amiga Boing Ball demo can't be done in true 3D in real-time on an OCS Amiga.
  
  The Boing ball as a 3D object would be 128 polygons. It spins on one axis, suggesting that only 64 of those polygons need to be filled at any given time (the ones facing the 'camera'). Some polys are 3-sided and the rest are quads (not sure if that affects the level of challenge involved, although Joe Decuir says that Agnus' line draw hardware will automatically complete a 3-sided poly when given two co-joined lines and also auto-fill the face).
  
  Anyway, it would be interesting to see if you can replicate that 1984 demo in 3D on an OCS machine (essentially an Amiga 1000 specification of computer).
  
  But back to the demo at hand: The Last Drop is impressive work with a nice variety of impressive sequences and great music. Thanks for doing this.
  
  Long live the Amiga.
