interesting looking at the dates of these things these guys were probably pioneers in trance and similar dance music sounds as they probably were doing this way before those official pigeonhole names became widespread.
back in 1993 when this was released (right after the assembly party in some school at Kerava Finland) I had 386sx 16MHz system with 2MB of RAM and GUS sound card. That was pretty much the minimum configuration to run this demo smoothly.
I did find that GUS sound card at my basement. now all I need to find old enough motherboard with ISA slot to build up a computer that can run these old demos right.
WHATS SO SPECIAL? someone would ask these days... But when FutureCrew released this Demo all we had those days was some stinking Intel 80486 CPU at 30 or 40MHz, 4MB Ram, NO fuckin 3D GFX Card, and almost crapy sound cards with a few voices. There been No fukin windows, Direct X or whatever enviroment. they coded ON BARE METAL! FutureCrew blew the peoples mind with this back then. There been NOTHING like that before. FC ROCKS!
The GUS was the end all be all of hardware those days. Only grandmas had a soundblaster. Or maybe an adlib or corvus card
Man how Creative still exists when they alwyaws have offered the worse sounding/comptablity card ever is beyond me.

One of the more recent Windows demos called Energia is really good. Total eye candy.

Hard-coded software rendering vs 3dsmax "movie" garbage. Enough said.

On this time 80486 wasn't stinking, lol, this demo did need hi-end machine to run it and not watch a slide show.

@axel1973w Actually, many people has slow 386s in 1993. And they got Future Crew's magic anyway!
