• demo invitation Amiga AGA No-CPU Challenge by Demostue Allst★rs
• @xeron
  I know, it's all about the challenge. But why climbing a mountain with
  both hands and one leg tied behind the back? But yeah, each to his
  own :-)

• demo invitation Amiga AGA No-CPU Challenge by Demostue Allst★rs
• First of all, that's a superb demo. The storyboard, gfx, music, syncing(!)
  and how it's presented is awesome. It was a real treat to watch it.
  Impressive to see what's possible without the cpu, and I really do
  appreciate the work behind it.
  However, I have difficulties to grasp the rising hype and euphoria about
  that no-cpu approach. Why on earth would one want to operate a
  Ferrari like the Flintstones? Must be some kind of irresistible challenge
  for the super-smart ones who are simply bored of and find it too easy
  to use the cpu?!

• demo Windows Stargazer by Orb [web] & Andromeda [web]
• I rarely watch PC demos but this one made me curious because of the
  involved names. Wow, what a ride! A lot of great scenes and so
  atmospheric and creative. And the end left me behind with a smile.
  Outstandig demo! Thanks for the excellent show.

• intro Atari XL/XE apacrotz by Desire [web]
• Thanks a lot for explaining the tech background. I don't know anything
  about the XL/XE but it sounds like a pretty cool and versatile 8bit machine!
  
  Nice work and rotozoomer. I like :-)

• demo Atari STe Extended Knobhead by Dead Hackers Society [web]
• Wow, that was fast. I wonder if work on it first started after django's
  release or if there was already sth in the pipeline?
  Very, very cool. Looks great! Almost as if the Joker feels more home on
  Atari than on Amiga (stressing the word "almost" ;-) )
  And what's that for a nice and atmospheric title pic? Gotham at night?
  Looking forward to Knobhead XXL...though this sounds kinda weird and
  ambigous :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Existenz by Existenz
• Humdinger! I love the effects, the music and the graphics and the
  dark, brute touch of their presentation.
  It starts off to my taste...I see a rotating texture mapped cube
  traversing the screen and my thumb goes up.
  Also like the look and glitches of the vertical scroller. Very cool release.
  Already watched it a couple of times.

  Sachy was so kind and ran a dozen of test versions on real hardware (A500 and A500+ with CRT) before the final release and it looked even more stable than in the emulator. Do you mean the (slight) flickering and tendancy of the image to "disintegrate" into single texels which is in particular observable during the rotation? This is due to the interlacing. The skull is composed of two interleaving sub-images (checkerboard pattern) that are then displayed in consecutive frames. This allows me to work with 60 independantly colored texels per scan line. And to reduce the flickering the beam is being manipulated resulting in an increase of frequency from 50Hz to 64Hz. I could have gone as high as 72Hz or so but was afraid of overtasking and maybe even damaging(?) old CRTs.
  
  @tjahzi
  That's an interesting vertical line at the right and "Crying At The Discoteque"-flashing at the bottom :-) Is that caused by the video capture?
  
  @Smaugur
  Thank you for the video.
  
  By the way, if you run it in winUAE make sure to use one of the latest versions and to choose Full-window and Standard VSync in the display settings.

  Naughty, naughty beamhack. It's a little, reluctant troublemaker.
