Still an unsolved mystery, how the grey, boring, unpersonal piece-of-crap-IBM/MS-PC could win the market from the Amigas that were so much faster, sexier and more fun (not to speak of the huge fanbase). Would have loved too see what a modern amiga could´ve done with double-core-64-bit-cpu´s running at 3 ghz, assisted by 4 gb RAM.

Amiga 4-ever!

This is a GREAT comment - the Amiga was miles ahead of anything else of the time, if Commodore had kept going, the Amiga would be running the world today

The title of this submission is in error. It's dated 1992. Please correct it.

Incidentally, this demo ran on the 1985 Amiga 1000. The version i had disliked NTSC mode IIRC.

Spaceballs SOTA was releaced in December 1992 at "The Party" grathering where it won 1st place in the amiga demo section so I think YOU need to get it right !

One of the greatest Amiga demos of all time, second only to "Jesus on Es"

I guess the pc was more expandable.

I was gutted when we first got a PC - it was crap. The graphics all looked the same, and the sound was shit. The soundblaster 16 defaulted to midi for most games, and sounded way inferior to the amigas sound chips.

I used to love the intro's on disks too.

I remember buying this demo, bought Jesus On E's too amongst others.

The Amica was so fucking cool man.

@cptnsnshn i dont think the Amiga was ever really competing with the PC, maybe for a little at the start but really it was more in the games market which was stolen by the consoles. i know people like the A1200 but it just wasnt good enough. Commodore lost it then really.

Yeahh !!! Still kicking. The real show starts at 0:42, so be patient. Knowing this has been done 18 years ago is really amazing. It could be a video-clip for actual musics. I Love it. (But the music is a bad "teknotronik" one to me). :)))

Prodigy?

The whole Amiga platform was proprietry which lost out to the modular and easy to upgrade PC, that's why I think it died a death but this proves it was ahead of anything else in home computing at the time.

I'm totally agree with you, I even wasn't born when Commodore Amiga was popular, I thought that before Windows 3.1, the only thing was DOS, but I started watching comercials of the Amiga and Windows has nothing to do with Amiga.

It's incredible what Amiga can do with a few megabytes, I want one!!!

[cptnsnshn]

I know. Too bad that never happened. I always loved those computers, still do. Except from a few "guru meditation" at startup, I can´t remember having any hang-ups or other major problems. It always ran smooth.

i think so
