[Chromidorr]

[videogamehistorian]

The music really reminds me those Future Crew demos in the 1992-1994 years. Wasn' this demo made by them ?

[letsplayinTi]

The screen freezes at the pic when music starts!

[TripleBla]

would you give a brief synopsis of how this was done? :P! thanks!

veryyy impressive, mind blowing =)!

[Hells616]

the mandelbrot set on ascii... mindblowing

[xerfes]

Awsome! How do I do if I want to learn this technology?

[mima14031985]

Pure nerd porn! Great demo

[ABTOMATuK]

Where to download this demo?

[sourcegamerC]

That is AWSOME!

[rudyiking]

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

[Newkiller]

The sound and text is a bit unsynchronised but it's still awesome!

It's a pity, that it doesn't work on new Linux distros... :-/

[Naltoidais]

It should work as long as aalib is installed.

[friik100]

AWESOME!

[itekisan]

Thanks for sharing - great stuff! :)

[Him1411]

Wow

[SeparateEntity]

I can remember this from a Knoppix liveCD (which was actually the first real Linux distro I ever used). I remember it being higher resolution, though.

[radicalgarbage02]

Sorry, but what does this have to do with antialiasing? I don't mean to be rude or anything, but doesn't antialiasing only apply to actual images and not persistence of vision ones? There are no real edges here to perform multi-sampling on...

[ueberRegenbogen]

Definitely bypassing BIOS. ;)

[Orvtrebor]

that is amazing :O

[nicolunacba]

but... this demo was made under Linux... IT'S A LINUX DEMO!

[christy2drag]

Yes it was developed under Linux, but it was ported to DOS and the other Unixes. As the author says, this demo doesn't need a real OS to function.

[richardmaudsley77]

christy2drag, did you really call dos a unix-like?

really?

[christy2drag]

Not really. What i meant to say is that it was o ported to DOS and other unixes.

[richardmaudsley77]

By bad.

[JENSSCHLAU]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

[PelasgicMoon]

i already have this bb on my knoppix live cd

it's very cool

well done putting it in youtube

[DlimitR]

NOICE!

[flornotube]

the BB demo is on the AA lib website for DOS and Linux

[MaKaBroYT]

I have the original demo on my hard drive, my brother used to know somebody working on this demo, if someone whants it i can send it via mail or something :-)

Nice work uploading this to YouTube!

[cutebikerwannabe]

Can I have a copy?

[ueberRegenbogen]

aa-project(dot)sourceforge(dot­)net/bb

[christy2drag]

Impossible. Is this open source? I would really like to see how the hell you could create those effects just using text.

[deathbef]

I like that demo very much, unfortunately sound doesn't fit video, it looks that they were recorded separatelly

[DlimitR]

Read the description...  It explains that asynchronism.

[deathbef]

no probs, I never read descriptions ;-)

I didn't know that problem with Gravis Sound Card, I have seen demo on my PC, which was equipped with Sound Blaster (and later on my laptop with other card, I don't remember and I have everything working)... I have ran demo on Linux (Knoppix as I remember).

Regards,

good, good demo

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

The guy shown at 3:09 actually attempted to assassinate Bill Gates!?! That's rather surprising!

[MicrosoftSam92]

It's one of the developers of BB, Jan Kubica.

[JagVox]

Wow...wow.

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

Wow! That's quite impressive for 1993!

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

Actually i meant 1997, lol.

[DlimitR]

It was the 90s: Ace of Base.. Nirvana.. and MC Hammer were in charge. Who cares about specifics??
