Amiga is the best machine in history. We Amigans doesnt ignore PC or Mac users, but They have always ignored Amiga for something unknown. They simply havent tried it! Amiga deserves much more attention! Because its The Creative Computing platform. So much unique software and creative people makes Amiga a great alternative!
Commodore fucked up big time, they had all the cards but threw them in the bin.
The A1200/4000 was too little, too late, specially the A1200 was very under powered for 1992, if commodore stuck at least a 68030/50 Mhz in there and 6 MB of RAM instead of a EC68020 (no fpu) and 2 MB of RAM, the Amiga would have stood a better chance (still slim chance though)
@EdgeOfPanic A built in CD Rom would have been nice as well. I believe that was one of Commodore UK's grand plans to rival the PC but Commodore US said 'No, we need to keep the price low'. Twats.
from what I can see this is a 68k demo, so comparing it to your powermac is not really fair. comparing amiga to anything else is pointless anyway. you can still buy amigaos4 compatible hardware that is quite up to date, if you want! take a look at acube's sam, for example.
A1200; launched October 21, 1992, base price 399GBP in UK & $599USD.
CPU: Motorola 68EC020 at 14.32 MHz.You PC/Mac people don't get it.You love to compare 5 year more advanced Tech & say "Amiga not good".Well you just make yourslef look bad because in your own words you admit that it took that much more power & years to do the same an "inferior" machine could do.
68020 =1984 so that is 13 yrs for you guys to cut it.
Sorry but that artifacts biginning on minute 1.45 they dind t exists on the real amiga, that demo was running on a emulator, thats for sure! And its not bad what im saying... is good! it represents that 11 years later even the emulators cant run the real power AGA (advanced Graphics Adapter)!! and thats is amaizing how the tecnologi from the amiga was not iet totaly discover! :D
You wonder? *lol* I tell you: Because AMIGA has Fans, that's why! PC (i386/MS) has just Users ... most of the time they're angry 'bout all the things not working or lasting plenty of times. Nobody would have the Idea to make Demos showing how great PCs are !
Amiga Rulez, my friends! It's like real good music. Not everyone likes,uses oder hear it, but that's ok! So it isn't mainstream. unfortunately companies need a lot of money. And Commodore wasted money like toilet paper.
There were notable democoders on the PC too -don't forget Future Crew and their Second Reality- but I'll agree that the PC scene perhaps lacked the passion present in the Amiga one.
@slitor You mean there's absolutely no difference between the scene at the time of Future Crew and the Amiga and today? According to some people the oldskool PC demoscene pretty much died with the introduction of Windows and 3D Acceleration into the desktop. So yeah, a strong, categorical WERE from me.
Nice! What makes the most of a computer's capabilities are demos and games. My lecturer in algorithms expressed disdain for games. No, no: "It's the graphics, operating system, system calls - well, the whole computer, stupid." Algorithms on their own are nice, but demos and games got that down pat, too.
Amiga people rulezzz , f...k winpc people.

An Amiga 500 with Amos Professional,Deluxe paint IV & protracker and i can create all i wish.
For this age the amiga's graphic and sound are obsolete but for me is the best

In 1997 this didn't look that impressive. My PowerPC Mac could do stuff like this without too much effort, and ditto a top-of-the-line Pentium 2 PC.
Now if they had done it in 19 *8* 7 then I'd be amazed.
It's too bad Commodore went bankrupt. I would love to get myself a new Amiga and boycott Windoze.

All I know is that My Amiga 3000 with the Amax II (Mac emulator board with Mac) I had a faster Color Mac than what Apple was producing.
The Machine was simply generations ahead of anyone else. Only Commodore could fuck it up. And they did.

@harleykman: Consider that this demo run on 1991'ish graphics and 25MHz CPU, not a 300MHz Pentium 2 or PPC.

How about a reupload to take advantage of the new Googley hi-res YouTube options? Amiga Demos should be seen in higher fidelity.
