The name of the guitarist was 'Sami Virtanen'. A fine player. From 02:30 onwards I have eargasms pretty much until the end of the song. Who ever said men can't have multiple orgasms.
Best demo because it has something the versions since lack, soul. You can tell they really wanted to show us what they could do with a computer, with graphics and sound, just like traditional sceners always had. These days it's just boring tech that nobody cares about.
3DMark 2000 is demoscene like, showing off incredible graphics while playing awesome music tracks. This is totally unlike later 3DMark versions, which are more into serious benchmarking.
The name "3dfx" in the credits brings tears to my eyes. Best gfx cards ever. A shame that this highly inventive firm went down the drain.
Oh, and 3DMark2000 is still my favorite of all 3DMarks. I remember sitting in front of my computer with my jaw dropped, eyes popping out when I first saw it in full glory. Absolutely beautiful and stunning. The music I still carry with me on my mp3-player.
I look at this 3d mark 2000 running on something like riva tnt and I look at 3d mark vantage on geforce gtx460 and can't note big difference. This old is even better. And this music.. mmmm...
Gosh, i remember like it was yesterday when i first saw 3d mark 2000. I was 15 back then, and the presentation surprised me like it still surprise me now. Childhood, the best years of my life..wow,,,the nostalgia....
yeah I looked for this just for the soundtrack :) and I remember how amazed I was by that last scene in the hall with the pool back then....great times...can' believe that was over 10 years ago...
this benchmark song is pure epic, never gets old

The Best 3DMark ever, it's noticeable that it was made with passion. Now days money talk.

The old Mad Onion 3DMark, probably the best 3D Mark ever made with the best soundtrack.
I remember running it on my old Vodoo3 2000, and getting some low fps :) hoping to get the new GeForce 2 :)

The description should really say MadOnion, as that's what Futuremark was called back in 2000.
Still the best 3dmark imo.
