LOL! the menu @ 0:25 strikingly ressembles Super Mario 64 file select! (search for KN7o97fwCNg , it's @ 1:12)

:48 oops you broke it

I can't find any info on this game, other than here. Who programed/developed/released it?

[cybercow222]

the original producer was Silicon Graphics nad Alias Wavefront, the people list is quite long and you can see it on the game intro ... i can reproduce the intro list ....

Nice video. I wish this demo also worked on VPro series graphics boards...

I love this, i've got a fondness for retro hardware and an SGI workstation was something I always wanted to own... I should really get one, doesn't seem to be much on ebay right now though.

Bring it back with fvwm and a fitting configuration.

This one is missing on my IRIX CD Set :-(

[cybercow222]

hi, i think it`s not part of standard distribution cd`s, found it on Octane MGRAS demos cd 1.1 or 1.3, but should be present on O2 demos 1.3 cd not shure.

It is on the earlier updates like 6.5.10 but you need to select it specifically. It seems to be only for specific platforms (O2/Octane IIRC) on later updates like 6.5.19. It works nicely on my Indigo2 R4400 250MHz with High Impact graphics.

Sweet system dude! Would love any type of SGI/Irix system, should have got one when I saw some on ebay for £50... I don't know what I'd use it for though. Alex.

[cybercow222]

well, give £50 and try to find it out :D further there will be one more beautiful sgi system saved from scrapping ;)

Wow... That OS reminds me of the menu's of the original Mario 64.
